CS4 Working from another disk?

In the past I have asked about working from our Server which we no longer have but we do have an external data drive to always have with us be it home or on the road with laptop. Is it a big deal to work from a networked (gigbit ethernet)data drive?
Thanks!

Are you talking about installing ID on the external drive, or just keeping your data files there? The former will not work (and may be a license violation if you move it around), but the latter will, though You may have trouble with ID reporting links missing or modified.
With that in mind, you should also remember that working with files stored locally on your hard drive is faster and more reliable, and Adobe recommends copying to your local machine for editing, then copying back to the external drive for storage. Many of us, however, continue to work directly on external devices without major problems, though I have seen the occasional file corruption at school (where working locally is a disaster waiting to happen if the computer crashes for any reason, like a power blip that happens all to frequently here -- the school machines use DeepFreeze and revert to the base image everytime they boot, wiping out anything you might have stored on the hard drive temporarily).

Extend C Drive from Another Disk

Hello,
I want to extend C drive using un allocated pace from another disk. I have gone through the thread "Extending of C:\ Drive by using un allocated disk space from another volume in Windows Server 2008". But I'm wondering if same can be done on Windows
Server 2012 R2 ?
Is there any free third party tool available to perform this task ?

Hi,
If the unallocated space is adjacent to the drive that you want to merge. You can add more space to the drive by extending them into adjacent unallocated space on the same disk. It is still apply to windows server 2012 R2.
For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:
How to Merge unallocated space on disk in two drives in Windows Server 2008 R2?

Time Machine backup not working from startup disk

So, in an attempt to make BootCamp work, I erased my hard drive (as instructed) after first backing up with Time Machine. Now trying to restore from the Time Machine drive, after starting up from install disk, and nothing happens. Disk Utility works when I open that from Utilities, but when I try to open "Restore System from backup..." nothing happens.
Any clues?

nothing at all? that can only mean you have a problem with your install DVD. nothing can be done about that. what kind of DVD is it? is it the install disk that came with your computer? if so you can try asking apple for a replacement dvd. another option would be to do a fresh install of leopard and them use migration assistant during the original computer setup (you'll be given that option) to import your data and applications from the TM backup.

I need to install photoshop cs4 extended from a disk to a new computer because my old computer had a hard drive crash. There is no serial number on the back of the case. How can I obtain a usable serial number?

I have to install Photoshop CS4 extended on a new computer from a disk because my old computer had a hard drive crash. There is no serial number on the back of the case. How can I obtain a usable serial number?

Find your serial number quickly
You can activate software without following up and registering it... at least that was the case in the past. The serial number is normally located on the disc case or a box inside the main box. If you did not purchase the disc from Adobe then it is possible you would have dealt with a redemption code, in which case it would have been up to you to keep a record of the serial number, especially if you did not follow up and register the software.

Help getting PS CS3 And ID CS4 working from cd

i would be very grateful of some help,as I am the last technical person ever.
The company I worked for went into administration and I bought my old Mac and the packages above from the administrators. My company had started buying the complete creatvevsuite from the cloud during the year before it went into administration. Now redundant I cant afford to buy from the cloud so have tried to load my old software but it won't work.
I Put the PS disc in and the bar on screen starts to fill so all looks good, then it ejects the disc and requests the ID disc is inserted, which I do. Nothing further happens from there. Is this because we have had newer software on the machine as it always worked fine until buying from the cloud?
help would be very much appreciated. Thank you
[email protected] - I am adding my email as I am unsure if I will be able to find my post again

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. Start by reading this:

DVD burn fails on verify consistantly, unless you boot from another disk...

Guys,
I have a dual G4. Always seemed to be able to burn a DVD. Now, Popcorn, disk utility and toast all fail verify for DVD burns.
If I boot from my backup disk and burn using popcorn, toast or disk utility it burns and verifies fine. Both are Tiger 10.4.8, one has many things installed, the back up drive has few things.
It seems to exonerate the hardware and my verbatim media.
Any ideas?

G4 dual 1ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8) original DVD drive

Hi
It sounds as if it may be lack of free disk space, or lack of contiguous free disk space. How much do you have left on your main drive? Perhaps deleting some unwanted files would help.
If your drive is highly fragmented the DVD image may be scattered all over the disk, causing a buffer underrun, especially if you're running the burning software off the same drive. You can buy software to defragment it, although OS X defragments small files on the fly so it's not normally needed. Perhaps burning at a slower speed would give the drive time to keep the buffer full. Freeing up some disk space should also help though, so there's more contiguous free space available

Application crashes on starting from one path but works from another path

We have an odd problem. A small application is deployed to a handful of users. The PB11.5 version has been running successfully for years on XP and then a year on Win7. It was recently migrated to PB12.5 and redeployed. It is a simple deployment - EXE, PBD and runtime DLLs all in the same folder. For one user, the application crashes before it has hardly started. The Windows messsage "Application has stopped working" is displayed. The further details shows it is event APPCRASH and module PBVM125.dll where the failure occurs.
However, if the folder name it is deployed to is renamed - no other changes, just a rename - it works fine. Rename the folder back to the original name and it fails again.
Other than the zero change migration to PB12.5, the application has not changed for 4-5 years and much of it is over 10 years old. While the error handling could be improved, it has functioned perfectly OK in previous incarnations and this version runs properly elsewhere.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
The application is very basic in its design - it doesn't specifically reference the Registry (although the runtime dlls might). My suspicions are a corruption in the Registry or Prefetch or Folder Redirection.
The user machines are supplied under a third party contract so we are limited in what we can see and do to investigate.

Our infrastructure vendor has removed the problem by performing a profile reset on the affected user account. The application now runs successfully in the intended location.
Presumbably this action has cleared both the User registry and Windows user account settings. I consider this to be a sledgehammer solution as the user has lost other setting too (eg. Outlook accounts).
I suspect that this is all I will ever know of the cause. If I learn anything more precise I will share it with you.
By all means continue to offer your suggestions. However, as the problem has been eradicated, no further investigation will be possible unless it recurs.
Cheers,
Ian

Can I re-install Logic from another machine ?

Pondini wrote:
Why is it in a disk image? (I use CarbonCopyCloner, not SuperDuper).
I call it that because I thought that was what SD termed it. When I open any of the backup files, they mount like a disk image so, to me, that's what it is. Sorry if my terminology confused things.
Pondini wrote:
Can you boot your Mac from the drive? If so, it's just a normal clone, not a disk image.
I believe so. (However, it's a ML system and all the other computers in the house, except the dead one, still run Snow Leopard.) In any case, the file is a sparse bundle.
Pondini wrote:
If so, your solution is easy -- use Setup Assistant when the new Mac first starts up. Select From Another Disk when asked if you want to Transfer your data. See Using Setup Assistant on Mountain Lion or Lion for the gory details. It can transfer everything but OSX -- apps, user accounts and data, settings, etc. It's similar to Migration Assistant, but avoids some possible problems.
That sounds ideal. However, my Master Plan ran into a snag late yesterday. I tried to create a backup (using SD) to get the latest stuff into an image, but SD gave an error message when it encountered one of the files (the Parallels app, which happens to be the very app that we're most keen to migrate over intact. The error message (using AAA and BBB in place of the full paths) read:
Error copying /Volumes/AAA to /Volumes/BBB of type 8 due to error 7: Argument list too long
The file in question is one of the files internal to the Parallels app itself
(Parallels Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/launcher)
so I don't know if I have options to work around this and have SD go to completion. SD aborted when it hit that error.
I have a couple of days to play around with this, to try to get a more recent backup. Otherwise, I'll have to ponder the alternatives.
Thanks for the good discussion and tips!

Cannot boot from installed disk on Intel Xserve

I have an Intel Xserve.
I have had it for some months,it has been working fine, it is a standby backup machine to others and is used as a testbed.
I have just installed from the supplied DVD 10.4.8.
The installation goes smoothly, however after the first reboot. The system is trying to install from dvd again.
I have tried installing a known working Intel boot disk, and this just gives a folder with the flashing question mark.
I have tried formatting the disk and partitioning making sure to use GUID partition and it doesn't boot.
I can however boot from a external FW drive with 10.4.10 installed.
I can then go into Startup disk and set the boot disk as on of the installed drives, but this has No effect.
I am currently trying to Clone from the FW drive to an installed drive.
Has anyone seen this behaviour?
Can someone tell me what I can try to resolve this.
All I have read regarding Flashing Question Marks is to ensure disks are using GUID partion and when booting from another disk to set the boot disk in the System Prefences.

Welcome to the forum!
You're missing the first disk which is "Rescue and Recovery", followed by CDs 1-7.
Make sure to re-align the partitions before or after OS installation in order to get the proper utilization of that SSD.
Good luck.

How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
Cheers,

First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop). Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts. Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards). You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
Good luck.

IWork is not working on Yosemite after a fresh install from the disk

Hi,
I've freshly install yosemite on my computer.
I first reinstalled my computer with original Snow Leopard and then made the upgrade to Yosemite.
After that I used the Migration Assistant to transfert my old applications.
Most of them are now running perfectly but I'm still facing issues with iWork.
It refuses to launch with a message error saying that "Pages" for example is not working with this version of Mac OS and I should make al available update.
There are indeed updates available from the App store but I can't download them because it is not available for my apple ID because someone else bought it or I cancelled the buying ?!
It's strange because I bought it with my Macbook Pro in 2010 and even after a fresh install from the disk, the message is still the same...
Any idea how to unlock these updates?

Actually this doesn't explain everything.
I finally reinstalled Snow Leopard / iWork 09' and then upgraded to Yosemite and everything is working like a charm.
This issue has something to do with the use of the "Application migration tool" from Mac Os X Yosemite to collect old applications to the new os from another installation...
I solved my issue this way because I don't have very valuable applications that I want to transfert but for other users, this could be a real issue...
Thanks a lot for your answer

Currently my internal drive is full due to Aperture. I want to work with Aperture from a external drive verses my internal drive. In addition, I want to back-up my work to another external drive. Is this easily done? Does this make sense? Pros / Cons...

Currently my internal drive is out of space due to my Aperture files. I want to place Aperture on a external drive to work from verses in intnal drive. In addition, I want to back-up all my work to another external for safe keeping. Once I move aperture to the external, I want to delete it off my internal drive. Does this make sense to do? Pros / Cons....

It is common for people to move their Aperture, iPhoto, iTunes etc. files to an external drive when those files become too large to conveniently keep on the internal drive.
The best approach is probably to keep the applications (iPhoto, Aperture etc.) where they are now, but move the files (photos, music, videos etc.) to the external drive.
You should set up a process to regularly backup all the files from both the internal drive as well as the external drive you'll be using. Here are two approaches:
(1) Use Time Machine. You can configure Time Machine so that it backs up both the internal drive as well as the external drive, all to a third separate backup drive. This is done via the Options button in the Time Machine preference pane.
(2) You can use a "cloning" program, such as SuperDuper, Carbon Copy Cloner, to make complete copies of files on your internal drive and that external drive. One way to do this is to use a very large disk for the backups, and to partition it into two backup drives, making one dedicated to the internal, the other dedicated to the external.
Two separate types of backups are recommended. I use both (1) and (2) above, and I disconnect and shut down the clone type backups when not being used. That way a power failure or surge that might destroy the original disk(s) plus the Time Machine backup(s) would still not damage the backups made under (2).
Don't delete your original Aperture files until you have verified that they are working properly from the external drive AND you have made a backup of them.

How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

Welcome to the forum.
I can think of three basic ways to accomplish what you wish to do:
Use the Project Archiver to archive your Project (and check the box to gather the media files), to an external HDD. Probably the easiest way to do it.
Copy the Project and ALL media files to an external HDD, but be prepared to relink the media files to the Project, as the drive letter (part of the Absolute Path) will have changed.
Edit loosely, and Share to an AV file, which will be Imported into a New Project on that second computer. Or, edit VERY tightly, and do the same. I like the first, as removing, replacing Transitions, etc., can be much more difficult, unless that "tight edit" is 100% done.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can I move my DRM-protected movies from one disk to another on the same computer without running afoul of the big movie houses?

I need to off-load my digital copies to another disk I just bought, located on the same computer, so I can have more room for other things; my collection is getting too big, I guess. I'm afraid if I just move them and re-integrate them back into the iTunes library, it will mess up the DRM status and lock me out entirely. I'm hoping it won't treat this exercise as one of my allocated copies and increment the counter counting device transfers. Any ideas as to how to safely do this (without hacking, etc.)?
Thanks.

is this second library in a different account on the computer?
