How can I run GarageBand from an external drive that is not my boot drive?

Hi, I'd like to move my GarageBand loops and songs I've composed to my external hard drive. I have moved my iTunes library to the external, I found good instructions on how to do that, but I have not seen any for GarageBand. Is it possible to move both loops and created songs, or just loops, or what? Any guidance would be much appreciated...

  • How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus)?  WD drive was improperly ejected and Finder no longer recognizes it.  Tried fixing with Disk Utility but failed.

    How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport 2T) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus 2T)?  WD drive was improperly ejected (although we did tell it to eject) and now Finder no longer recognizes it.   Using MacBook Pro and I just upgraded to Yosemite before this happened. Was told at Apple Store to use Disk Utility to repartition, but it failed.  It says to backup files and restore.  But how do I backup files?  Or would appreciate any other suggestions to repair drive.

    You may drag & drop between external hds. 
    Should you run into trouble.
    Take the exernal drive appart.  Take out the harddrive.  Try reading the data via a usb adapter. Put a household finan on the hd.

  • How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display

    How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

    That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

    I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email.  I have since assigned two different emails.  How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?

    By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
    If so, you can change it.
    1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
    2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
    3. Log in with a different ID.

    Hi I am a sort a new Mac user and I would like to run Lightroom from an external drive. Is this possible on a Mac?

    Yes, but it will load a little slower. If it does disk I/O from the external then that will also be slower.

  • 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)

  • How do I run users from an external hard drive?

    I used to have a 2 TB hard drive in my iMac. One of the users contains all my music, photos and videos. It's a very large file, of course.
    I have just swapped out the 2 TB drive for a 120 GB SSD and reconnected the 2 TB drive as an external HD. The problem is, I've only got 60 GB of space left on it and that's not enough room for my media user. It's sitting on the external drive but I can't figure out how to access it.
    I would like to be able to (1) run the media user from the external drive or, if that's not possible, (2) move the media user to the SSD but store the music, photos, video etc. on the external HD.
    Any tips? Thanks!

    OK, here's how to do it on Photo Booth. It's a little different for every app, it seems.
    On Photo Booth, you don't use aliases. The app doesn't like them. Instead, start by deleting the Photo Booth Library file in the new user. (You only want to do this if you have no photos in Photo Booth, I assume. Remember I've started with a completely new user.) Then launch Photo Booth. It will tell you there's no library and ask you to either create one or point to one.
    Then point to your Photo Booth Library file on your external drive. (Again, permissions have to be set to allow the SSD drive access.)
    By the way, I am not an expert in any of this. There may be better ways of doing all this, but I couldn't find them on discussions so I'm recording them here in case they help people in future. Feel free to chime in with a more elegant solution, if there is one! But this all does seem to be working so far.

  • How Do I Run Windows from an External Drive?

    Recently my PC with Windows XP crashed- it's old and the motherboard went. I had a full version of Windows XP on there, and I would like to know what I need to do in order to run Windows off of that hard drive (I've taken it out and have it in an enclosure). Ideally, I would like to be able to plug in this external drive, and start a program that will allow me to run Windows off of this drive.
    I have downloaded a trial of Parallels Desktop, which seems like it will work, but it needs me to install a transporter on the Windows drive before it can migrate the drive. The problem is, I can't access my drive anymore since my PC is no longer broken.

    Then I guess my question is how do I go about transferring my PC data to the external drive without a PC*.
    In Parallels, I try this:
    Migrate Windows from a PC > External Storage Device > then it says "please install Parallels Transporter Agent on your PC
    Since my PC no longer works, I need to find a way to transport the data. As of now, I plug in my Windows drive to my Mac, and it doesn't even show up. I would be OK with running Windows on my Mac via a VM, although it looks like I would need to buy Windows again since it's an OEM copy...
    *I found a site where it says it can be done, but I am just having trouble with the transporter program.

  • How can I import files from an external drive?

    Hello everyone,
    I have an external drive containing all the video files I want to make a DVD from,
    but when I open iDVD I am not able to select these files(as they are not in imoves / iphoto etc),
    how can I get to these files to import them to an iDVD project without copying them to my hard drive?
    thanks!
    Dan

    Hi
    To little info to be able to answer.
    Movie file - in what format/codec ?
    Convert it into - StreamingDV .mov - then just drop it into iDVD Menu window (avoid active zoones).
    BUT - if movie is 30fps - then start the iDVD project as NTSC/29.97 fps or if 25fps then let iDVD do a PAL (25fps) project.
    Forcing iDVD to convert "works" - BUT result is from BAD to Worse !
    I use JES_Deinterlacer to convert fps PAL/NTSC - as it does this very good and is free on internet.

  • 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?

  • How can I stop Spotlight from indexing external drives?

    I work in an environment where we plugin several different costumer harddrives all day long as part of our working process. Often only to extract one file from a given drive. Therefore its annoying that Spotlight automatically starts indexing these drives, because it slows down everthing, but also because our windows costumers suddenly see these weird mac files on their drives, that are invisible to the macuser. The Privacy setting is not of much use, as its impossible to add oru costumers drives to the list - we simply don't know the drive until we see it.
    How can spotlight stop indexing?

    The Privacy option is okay for private users, but at work we receive alot of harddrives from costumers and we simply cannot spend the extra time waiting for a drive to be indexed every time it is connected. That drive may never be connected again as it belongs to a costumer, and it is impossible for us to add drives to the Privacy pane, because we do not know they exist before we see them infront of us. The ption to disable all external drives from being indexed would be great. Or that the indexing can be stopped in the spotlight menu, or that the indexing will not start until 10 minutes after the drive has been mounted - and only if the drive is inactive.

  • 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
