Can you run Preview from 10.4 on 10.5 if you copy it over?

Hi,
Given a few of the annotation limitations on Preview that ships with 10.5 I am currently adding annotations to pdf's via vnc to a 10.4 machine.
I am wondering if anyone knows if you can safely run preview from 10.4 on 10.5 if you copy it over? Does it mess with your plist?
Thanks in advance..

It won't run "as is" you'll get a notice about it being the wrong version. However, a you can make it run if you want (I did because it does not have the "mushy looking pix" problems). See this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5899045
Scroll to the bottom and see KCunningham and my comments on altering the info.plist and version.plist inside. I named my copy OldPreview, and it and the new Preview co-exist just fine.

Yes, probably can.. but it won't be fast. You are better storing programs locally and data remotely.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer"?
You must surely be able to add and subtract songs on specific playlist?

I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

HT4753 How do you stop preview from auto save

How do you stop preview from doing AutoSave?
Preivew keeps saving different copies of a pdf I am working on (highlighting/annotating), and I now only have 1GB left on my harddrive (had 180GB left).

If you are using Safari, look at Safari > Preferences > General and make sure 'Open "safe" files after downloading' is not checked. Other browsers should have a similar setting in their preferences.

I'm sorry to see that no one has answered this. I'm hoping Apple with reply to my support request, as I'm having the same issue. I really don't want to continue with iCloud at this point.

Can you run fcsvr_client from another machine?

has anyone tried running fcsvr_client from another machine:
eg: fcsvr_client --host 10.1.1.1 --user Username --pass Password search /projects
can't seem to figure out what they want for a user and pass. i keep getting the following error:
CODE = E_LOGIN, DESC = no valid user identified for this action, SRC_FILE = PmsTask_SearchEntity.C, SRC_LINE = 189
ideas?

This post here will get were you want: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1502389&tstart=200
In summary in can access the db only from localhost BUT you CAN use ssh tunneling to access the remote fcsvr computer and get access to the db (in your case fcsvr_client).
Good luck

MacBook Air Hard Drive too small - can I run applications from an external drive or is there a better solution?

I just got a MacBook Air 11" 10.7.2 2GB/64GB. I love it, but the internal drive is sooo small. Occasionally I need to take projects home from work or travel with my computer. Is there any way to run apps (Final Cut Studio, CS5, Office 10, etc) from an external drive? I am trying to convert over from my Macbook Pro (running Snow Leopard) and I can't seem to find a solution.
Thanks for your time!
Samantha

Samantha,
It's best to keep your applications on the internal drive and consider external storeage for your data.
Your choices are direct attached storeage to the USB port (external portable USB drives), storeage on your home or work network, or cloud-based storeage, like DropBox.
You can also look at slimming down your OSX installation on your MBA by removing unwanted fonts and printer drivers.
Btw, you will struggle to run CS5 and Final Cut Studio on a MBA with 2GB RAM. Only install the applications you really need on your MBA.
Can I ask which model MacBook Pro you are migrating from?

Can i run itunes from an external harddrive and if so how?

LIke i'm not a complete pleb and i know full well that this should work in theory i am just worried about moving the "itunes" folder to my external harddrive because i feel itunes will then say 'can't find library' or something. I have a G4 emac you see with only 40GB internal harddrive, about 25GB is just my itunes songs and i can't get rid of any as i need them for djing.
can i just copy the itunes app and the itunes folder to my external harddrive and then create a itunes link in my dock? I feel that i'm missing something though.
Could someone tell me a surefire way to do it so i don't mess up. I'm not 100%
cheers

Yes you can run programs from a differnt drive. All you have to do is download that prgram to that drve same as you would to the c:drive by defualt we will have to reload everything as if you never had itunes.
1 make a folder on your drive called itunes.
2 go to the website and get the itune ( click on the download link and when it ask to run or save click save and tell it where to save.
3. After save is complete click on the install app. it will default to install to you c drive. Change this to your desired drive and folder. (this will install it on that drive and folder.) then you will have to make a shortcut to open Itunes.
4 If you more than one pc configure in the same order and # of drive you will be able to run this drve from any pc.
I do this with alot of programs at work from a 4gb penn drive to get around the firewall and admin rites. (I.T. department)

Can I run plugins from an external hard drive on Logic?

Question above

Yes.. the plugins themselves must reside on the system drive... in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components.
If you have a small system drive.. or you are running out of space on your System HD (and you should keep at least 20% of the total space free to give your OS X some 'breathing room" for it to work effiecently...you can always install another copy of your OSX on, and then boot from, an EXT HD... which you then can install Logic on along with all the Plugins..
Just make sure that Ext HD is a 7200rpm non green or power saving model and it is connected via FW800 or TB (or a FW800 drive via a TB to FW800 adapter) or UBS3.. but do not try using a USB2 HD.. or a 5400rpm model as they tend to have performance issues..
Those that have smaller SSDs as their System Drives often find this approach to be the best solution

The default location for iTunes is the ssd drive? How can I run iTunes from my 2tb hard drive?

I have recently purchased an iMac 27 i7 ssd256 2tbhd. I can not find a way to run iTunes from my 2TB HD. Can someone walk me through it ? I have tried youtube and google but nothing has worked so far.
I would like to sync my ipad and iphone to my new iMac.

I assume you mean to have your library on the external HD?
If so then you would go to iTunes -> Preferences -> Advanced -> "iTunes Media Folder Location" change it to somewhere on the external HD
Then after that do File -> Library -> Organize Library -> Check "Consolidate Files" and click Ok

Can one run CVI from CD or USB stick?

We have sent a CVI app to the client and it runs for about 3 hours and then crashes. He woudl like us to debug this app
I would to Debug the clients CVI Application on the clients system yet not leave the CVI development system there. They system is windows 7 32 bit. The ideal would be to create a CD where i can run the IDE/debugger. The second choice would be to run it from a USB stick. Any suggestions on how to do this?

On one hand you do not need to activate CVI after installing it to the customer machine: you can simply run it as evaluation version and debug your project in the IDE. Next you will need to copy back the project files to a development machine to create the executable.
On the other hand, you could use remote debugging facility to debug the application without installing anything on the customer machine. Take a look also to this tutorial and to this tip from ebalci.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.
