Copy enhanced dictation file download to a USB drive

My friend has limited internet access, so I downloaded a bootable 10.9 installer to a USB drive to update her iMac.  Where is the enhanced dictation file downloaded to?  Can I copy this to a USB drive and install it as well?  It is just to large of a file for them to dowload, and I'd love to install it on their machine so they can use it as well.  I wish my iPhone could do this as well, despite the large file size.

This contradicts what I have been told by many other people....if the OS is associated with a specific Apple ID, how does, say, a small school or business then install an OS via USB on multiple conmputers when each has it's own unique Apple ID?
I am not that familiar with commercial or volume licensing - you would have to check with Apple. Here is the excerpt from the SLA (in screenshot sections since I couldn't get it all in one) - this is from Apple:
You are allowed to back up your system for your own use; "sharing" a software license has never been allowed that I know of - it is now just a lot more difficult with the Apple ID verification. That (I believe) is Apple's way of assuring that there won't be as much software piracy.

  • How to download enhanced Dictation file for easily share?

    Hi everyone,
    I want to download  a true "file" of enhanced dictation, so i can install it again after i do a clean install n don't need to connect to internet?
    (I have limited internet connection!)

    Again, this could be due to your location. I'm not sure how much change there should be. You could try and take a look in the User Guide to see if it explains anything there. http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    EDIT: I was able to find this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5025 about the enhanced voice quality. It seems this has to do with Voice Over and may only be available for that. I did not read the entire document, but it would be good reading for you.

  • HP dv6-6188ca windows 7 pro 64b amd chipset 8G locks up copying files to/from external usb drive

    When ever I try to copy a large (>2G) file to or from a external usb drive the computer starts the copy but gets stuck. It has to be powered off and the battery removed to get it to work again.

    Please repost your inquiry in the Microsoft Windows 7 Performance Forum.

  • Finder freezes when copying files to an external USB drive

    I am copying video TS folders from my Mac Pro to a USB 3.0 drive, and Finder keeps freezing up. Oddly, it doesn't always happen, and it doesn't seem to be the amount of data--I've successfully copied 32GB at once, and had Finder crash trying to copy 6GB. Other details: the external drive is brand-new, and set up for OS X, I have repaired the permissions on the Mac's drive and just for kicks did the same on the Seagate USB drive. I was originally copying the files from a folder I had on the desktop, and read here that the desktop being involved in the equation is a Finder-killer, so I moved the files to a different folder. I have done this a lot in the past to a different drive with no problems whatsoever. Lastly, when this happens, all I can do a hard restart. Everything is fine when it starts back up, but after a dozen restarts in a day, I'm about to shoot myself.

    Well, I can tell you this
    Mac's can't use USB 3 so it's dropping to USB 2
    If it's port powered, it could be drawing too much power and the Mac is cutting it off, use a powered USB hub.
    If the external drive is formatted MBR with FAT32 (MSDOS) then that's a issue with over 4GB sized files, you need exFAT or HFS+
    You may nee dot remove all data and Zero Erase the entire drive to map off bad sectors and before each time you copy a huge amount of data (if it hasn't ben done in the last 6 months) this catches new failing sectors.

  • HT202677 Downloading to a USB drive

    JW,
    If you already have downloaded the movie on your computer, you can copy the file to a USB.

  • I can't copy iTunes media files from one external hard drive to another.

    Hi, I am running the latest iTunes and Mavericks software on my MacBook Pro. My iTunes library is stored on an external Seagate 2tb hard drive and it is almost full. I want to transfer the files to a WD Elements 3tb external hard drive and have made that new volume the destination folder for my iTunes library. However, even though I have enabled read/write on both volumes and made the iTunes media folders on both shared folders, I can't copy all the files from the Seagate drive to the WD drive. It comes up with an error message that says "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8058)". I can transfer files from my MacBook hard drive to the new volume, but can't copy files from the old Seagate volume to my MacBook hard drive; it makes the "boing" sound that indicates it is copying but nothing transfers. Files that won't copy include all music files, some video files and all podcast files. Some transferred with no problem. Any ideas out there?

    Hi Limnos, thanks very much for your reply.
    both external drives came preformatted for Windows but I erased each and reformatted them for Mac before using them.
    i made the destination folder on the new WD drive the new iTunes folder using Advanced preferences in iTunes.
    my original iTunes folder on the first drive contained all my iTunes files, as that, also, was the destination folder that was linked via Advanced preferences.
    If I download new content now with the new drive attached, iTunes has no trouble finding where to place the files.
    in Preferences I have both boxes checked (copy files" and "organize") that deal with copying iTunes files.
    When  I first attempted to copy all iTunes files from one media folder to the other on the external drives, I just did a drag and drop of the whole iTunes media folder from one to the other while both were mounted on my desktop. It started copying immediately with no problems, but as it progressed it started skipping files, each time displaying the error message I reported earlier. that included my entire Music folder. When I open, for example, a season folder that contains files that would not copy, eg, Modern Family Season 5, the episodes that won't copy are there and visible but any attempt to drag and drop them into the correct folder on the new drive results in the error message. There is no pattern to it; it will choose some episodes from some seasons but not others, and no music at all.
    when I look at the "missing" files in  iTunes they have the small exclamation mark that indicates the file is missing, but when I locate it through iTunes it doesn't copy the file on the old external drive to the new one. It just plays it having found the file on the old drive.
    originally I had to make the iTunes folder on the old drive into a shared folder using the Get info window after either a software upgrade or an OS upgrade (I can't remember which, it was several years ago). For some reason the upgrade changed the preferences of that folder to a Read Only folder and after researching the problem found the only way to keep using the drive was to make the folder a shared one. I can't remember why and I apologise for that but it was a long time ago.; I can tell you that at the time it was necessary.
    thanks again for your time; I have a good working knowledge of iTunes and Macs in general so I truly believe I have done everything according to how it should be done,, but clearly I've done something wrong!

  • How to copy a networked TimeMachine backup to a USB drive and restore from it?

    Hi,
    I backup my MacBook Air with TimeMachine to my QNAP NAS which offers a TimeMachine backup service and I can restore data from it OK.
    Working in IT, and being a bit paranoid about important data loss, I am concerned that if I was robbed or my house burnt down I would most likely lose both the MacBook and the TimeMachine Backup on my NAS :-(
    To protect against this I have backup my (linux based) NAS to an external drive that I keep offsite. This drive is encrypted to keep my data secure with a Linux form of encryption (cryptsetup) and hence can't be plugged into a MacBook to try and restore from it - I doubt this would work either as the TimeMachine data is not located in the root of the drive.
    So what I have done to test my restore process is to mount the encrypted NAS backup that include the TimeMachine backup folders on a Linux machine and then copy the TimeMachine data to the root of an HFS+ formatted external USB drive.
    But, now I am stuck as how to try and restore something from this to my MacBook to see if the copy of the TimeMachine backup is good. If I press the Alt key on the TimeMachine icon, I can select an alternate backup device and when I enter TimeMachine to browse the data, I can browse the structure but there is no option to go back in time !! It seems like it is not possible to restore from this copy of the TimeMachine backup.
    Does anyone know if this should be possible, and if so, what am I doing wrong here?

    For anyone else that may be in a similar situation, I can confirm that this does actually work.
    I am unsure why I was not able to mount the original sparseimage that I copied to the USB drive before, but I have gone through the entire process again and I could successfully mount the TM sparseimage onto my MacBook and restore files from within it using TimeMachine to my Mac.
    This is a Disaster Recovery solution only needed for if both my NAS and Macbook get stolen or damaged so I am happy with this solution for now.
    I will try the restore process several more times from my monthly backups to reassure myself that the first failure to mount the sparse image was an anomaly.
    This is the process that I have tested:
    Configure MacBook to backup to TimeMachine Service running on QNAP NAS device.
    Perform regular backup of QNAP NAS Device (Linux) including the TimeMachine backup data to an external USB drive with encryption enabled and store this device safely off-site
    In time of loss of both NAS and MacBook, Time Machine data can be recovered to another Mac without the need of the NAS  using the following process:
    Mount the external drive containing the backup of the NAS filesystem (ext4) which is encrypted onto a Linux host so it is readable - use the cryptsetup luksOpen options to access the encrypted filesystem then mount it.
    Mount a n empty HFS+ formatted USB drive  on the Linux host
    Use Rsync to copy the sparsebundle from the external NAS drive backup disk to the root of the USB Drive
    Insert the HFS+ formatted USB containing the sparesbundle into the Mac's USB port
    Double click the sparsebundle to mount it onto the Mac as a Volume
    Using Alt button and the TimeMachine icon, select use alternative backup disk and you should see the TM backup in the sparsebundle
    Enter TimeMachine and you should be able to restore any/all files
    Hope that helps someone else and thanks to LaPastenague for pointing me in the direction of some of the answers I needed.

    There is no problem if the second drive is empty.

    nothing bigger than 2GB for one file
    i was asking because FAT3 has a limitation in that it will not allow you to copy files larger than 4 GB.

  • How can i download a mobile usb driver?

    My hard drive recently crashed and I have had to redownload everything. I have downloaded itunes, but when I try and hook up my ipod it says I need an apple mobile USB driver. How can I download that driver?

    You can either use the manufacturer-supplied driver or NI-VISA to control your USB device but not both. If you have installed your device, each time you plug it in the FTD2XX.inf will associate your device with FTD2XX.sys. Then, you can use FTD2XX.dll to talk to your device using the call library function node. The DLL usually contains a whole bunch of useful functions that someone else already designed to talk to your device. This is the easier route and I would recommend it if you already have the DLL and the installed driver.
    The second method would be to uninstall or disable the driver for your device and create an .inf file with NI-VISA Driver development wiazard. This .inf file will tell Windows to use VISA as your device driver. You will, however need the vendor and product ID of the device to use VISA as your driver. The details of this are outlined in the NI document "Using VISA 3.0 to control your USB device."
    The drawback of this method is that VISA is just an API to talk to your device and you have to implement the communication protocol to talk to your device. This might take some time to do.
    This is why I recommend the first method. Someone else already implemented the driver for your and you just have to use the functions from the dll to implement your application.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPhoto 7 Will Not Share File on Airport Extreme USB Drive

    I have a USB drive plugged in to my Airport Extreme (n). I keep both my iPhoto 7.0.1 Library and my iTunes 7.3.2 Library on that drive. I am able to share the iTunes Library just fine from two machines. But if I open the iPhoto Library on one machine it works fine - but when I try to open iPhoto from the other machine I get a 'locked file/locked disk/inadequate permissions' alert. Have repaired permissions from iPhoto boot window - and the disk/file is not locked. I used to be able to share the iPhoto Library on this disk prior to iPhoto 7. Anyone have a suggestion as to how to cure this?
    Thanks, Tuck

    Sure, I'll explain. Actually this is how network shared drives are supposed to work from what Apple's promotional material says. I have both my iTunes Library and my iPhoto Library on a USB drive connected to my Airport Extreme so that both my wife and I can share the music and the pictures. We will often listen to different things at the same time on iTunes - which will make sense to you as that activity is really only a read. But I can add and delete music at the same time that she listens. With iPhoto we both can look at different pictures at the same time - I suppose just like iWeb can import photos at the same time I am running a slideshow in iPhoto. My problem is that this ability broke during my upgrade to iPhoto 7.0.1 - although it is possible this happened during 10.4.10 and I didn't notice, but I don't think so. As I have mentioned above I now find that I can create a NEW iPhoto Library and be able to share it on both machines again. So - my current question is: can I copy the contents of my old iPhoto Library into a newly created library and retain all the edits, events, titles, rankings, etc? And if so, is there any trick to it.
    Regards, Tuck

  • Will Time Machine backup Time Capsule files to an attached usb drive?

    Hi Everyone,
    I want to put shared media files on my Time Capsule and then have Time Machine backup my imac and all the files on the TC to a usb drive attached to the Capsule. Possible? That way I have a shared media server that is being backup up regularly.
    Thanks for the help!

    No. Time Machine cannot backup any network attached storage device such as TC. TM can only backup a Mac's internal HDD plus and ATTACHED/LOCAL HDD to the external HDD connect to the TC USB port.

  • How can i copy specific music files to an external hard drive?

    I'm trying to copy selected artists from my itunes music library to an external hard drive.  I don't want to relocate any of my files to the external hard drive for regular use with itunes, I simply want to back up my files.

    Open Finder. Go to Music>iTunes>iTunes Music. The folders are organised by artists. You can copy and paste them to your external hard drive.
