How do I download Mozilla to a usb key, not the hard drive, so I can install it on another computer?
My Internet Explorer crashed. As I can nt get on the internet on that computer, I am attempting to use another computer to download Mozilla to a usb key. Then, I will upload Mozilla to the crashed computer,hopefully restoring connectivity.
You can download the setup file (Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe) from http://www.mozilla.com/
You can then copy the setup file to the USB key.

from there you can save the installer on any removable drive using another computer ("save as",then choose the drive),then try to install it on your pc. -
I have 2 Seagate 1T hard drives that I used as auto backups on my old PC. I now need to organise my photos on my iMac and need to reformat the hard drives to backup my photos again from my new computer.
Does anyone have any suggestions that will help me get there??First, this article discusses migrating documents to your iMac.

Next, for organization of photos, I use iPhoto, which is part of the iLife suite.

Next, this thread discusses the formatting of the drive:

How do I download and access music directly from an external hard drive
How do I download and access music directly from an external hard drive through iTunes
Hello Docwa
Check out the article below to move your iTunes Media folder to an external drive so that way you can have the media externally. If you have not added the media yet, go ahead and move the folder if you do not have enough room on your computer so you can import the music

All of my music was on a hard drive that failed. How do I download them from iTunes match to my new hard drive? I know how to do it one song at a time, but I want to know if there is a way to do it for all 10,000 song files at once?
There are some recovery programs out there if you google them - many with free trials. I haven't tried them so I have no opinion.Read any professional tech and user reviews you can find before you try one. I have read here in the past that some have worked for people who have posted here.
To help in the future, have you considered using Jump Desktop - Remote Desktop? I know it won't solve the problem you're dealing with now (unless notes were taken on your computer.) It's in the app store. It's the #1 paid app in the business category and the reviews are great. It allows you to see anything that's on your computer on your ipad. If you take your notes on your ipad then you might want to email them to yourself, put them on Word in your computer, for example, and then if you need them in class, you remotely connect your ipad to your computer and you will see your notes. This way you won't have to rely so much on the cloud. The explanation would be too long here, but you might want to take a look at it. You can use the free trial on jumpdesk.com and then if it works for you, buy it in the app store.
Meanwhile, it's hours since you sent this post. Hopefully others who can help solve your problem who are on this forum now can help you. I hope you get your notes back. Don't give up too quickly.
Hope this helps. -
How much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on?
This may be a really dumb question, but how much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on if all your video files, assets, disk cache, etc are on different drives than the one the program itself is installed on?
The reason I am asking is that I currently have a "relatively" slow Sata II SSD for my C drive that has just my OS (windows 7 64bit) and programs (adobe editing programs, no games) installed on it and nothing else. All of the files used in my projects are saved on either a very fast Sata III SSD or a slower HDD depending on what the files are. For example, disk cache on the Sata III, stills on the HDD.
Being cyber monday I have the opportunity to buy another very fast Sata III SSD to replace my current Sata II SSD C Drive (just OS and programs). Both synthetic and real world benchmarks show a near double in performance. I just want to know if anyone thinks the upgrade is even worth it because for all I know there won't be any increase in performance since no videos, still, cach, etc will be stored on the C Drive.
The alternative is to get a second monitor because I currently only use one 21" monitor.
I suppose another alternative would be to not buy anything on the cyber monday deals and just save money for something else.
Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!Thanks Alex! I think you are right about not being able to notice the difference between the SSDs. I ended up finding a deal to get about $80 off a great monitor that I've been looking at for a while and decided to pull the trigger on it. I thought about it and realized that there have already been a bunch of times where I want to watch a tutorial on youtube and follow allong in AE or PrePro, but have to keep switching windows. I also frequently want to have my video preview on a separate monitor so I can have a taller timeline window. This monitor will help a lot with that. Thanks again for your help!

How do I authorise my Imac for Itunes after replacing the hard drive?
Dear All,
Apologies, but I am new to forums and understand that the issue of "Authorisation" of Itunes purchases and rentals has been done to death! However, I have tried everything and have exhausted normal research on the Net, there doesnt seem to be standard sollution to my problem. I have replaced the Hard Drive in my Imac 2008 with an SSD which makes the Imac very fast and effcient and completely clean of the usual trash in an old computer. So before renting my first movie, I did the following:..................................
Formatted the hard drive and downloaded and upgraded to OSX to 10.5.8 (the latest I can go on this Imac (I think) Intel 3.06Ghz 2 core and 4GB SSDRAM)
Upgraded Itunes to the latest available
Upgraded Quicktime to the latest available.
I rented a film which will not play and initially I got the "not authorised on this computer" message which kept repeating despite saying it was "waiting"
So I did the usual apple support search and tried the following:..................................
I checked that my apple User ID and password where up to date and that I was purchasing on the right ID
Tried the standard.....Itunes/Store/Authorise this computer - tried unauthorising and then re-authorising No luck
I tried deleting the (/Users/Shared/SC info) file No luck
I tried the Terminal based solution "sumo chmod -R 777 /Shared/Users" fix It didnt work either
I don't get the authorisation warning any more but just get a black screen with a grey horizontal stripe across the middle
I would be very grateful if somene could give me another sollution to try............................
Thank you very much,
SfithyDouble & triple check that you installed the hard drive correctly.

USB keys and external hard drives disappear after 30 seconds to 1 minute of being mounted.
I just got my 15' MacBook Pro refurbished (by Apple), and everything is working well except my USB ports. My USB keys appear for 30 seconds to as much as 2 minutes before disappearing from eveywhere, my desktop, finder and disk utility. I have a 1 TB WD passport for mac that also has the same problem, but can stay on the desktop and copy files for around 10 minutes. Then error -36 shows up, the hard drive disappears from the desktop and finder, but only appears in disk utility. It is powered as well, The light is currently flashing indicating it's receiving power as I am typing this. But still, no way i can copy anyhting onto it.
I have searched and searched for the solution to this problem, I have tried using apple script to find "invisible hard drives." and that doesn't work either.
On my windows partition in bootcamp, all usb keys work perfectly fine.
Is it because the USB ports are out of energy and dying? If so, should the refurbishment have covered that and replaced them? (Note: refurbishment included everything from my Keysboard to my battery to my Optical drive and cable optical drive flex)
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem on my own?
Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.Hi wdmpfm,
Here is something from an earlier post on the -36 error that may help to identify the issue:
A -36 is a disc I/O error. You might have a corrupt file, or a corrupted drive. Try creating a new file and see if you still get the error. If you do, it might be wise to run a Disc Repair program to see if it can find any errors that it can fix.
And one from another thread:
You need to format your drive correctly. New drives come formatted for Windows, & then they seem to work — but not properly.
+Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility+
Choose one of the +Mac OS Extended+ formats.
Obviously first you will have to back-up all the data you have already put on the drive, because it will all be lost when you re-format.
Hope one of these may help!
Cheers,

How do I deactivate lr4 so I can install it on another computer?
I want to remove lr4 from one computer so I can install it on another one, how do I do that?
You can deactivate by choosing the deactivate option under the Help option of the top toolbar (I don't have lightroom so I have to assume they have been consistent with other Adobe products). THen you can uninstall and have the activation freed up for a secondary use.
You are not required to uninstall the software since you are allowed to have it installed and activated on two machines. -
How do I download videos in different formats from an external hard drive?
How do I download videos in MPEG and other formats from an external hard drive to a MacBook?
If the external hard drive is the source, then "download" is a confusing term. To "download", refers to the action of transfering by internet protocol from the internet to a device.
To "copy" those files, it is simply a matter of plugging in the external hard drive via the USB cable provided with that drive to a corresponding port on your Air. The drive should automatically mount, and either be visible by an icon on your desktop, or in a Finder window.
You simply click on the icon, or do similarly within a finder widow to examine the contents of the drive. You would open an additional Finder window and naviagte to your desired flder destination.
Then, simply "drag and drop" the files you wish to copy from the source (the external hard drive), to the destination fold on your Air. -

How do I download i-tunes directly to my 1Tb external hard drive?
Our external hard drive unit just died, taking my and my wife's i-tunes libraries with it.
When we bought the Mac desktop and the external HD unit from the Apple store, the staff transferred our i-tunes libraries from our
old pc to the external HD unit as we wished to keep the Mac HD clear of all the I-tunes data (I have over 1500 CDs and was slowly
adding these to my library, so it was quite a loss but mostly of time as I still have the CDs to copy again to my new library.) The staff
created separate libraries for my wife and I overnight so it was all done when we collected the machines from the shop, and I'd like to
re-create the separate libraries on the new i-tunes which we'll download from the Apple site. As there are no saved music tracks to be
moved, hopefully, the transfer won't take too long?
It seems we'll firstly have to download i-tunes to the desktop Mac and then transfer it across to the new HD unit, but I'd appreciate
some fool-proof straight forward instructions from anyone who can help - it is me we're talking about...... . The new HD unit has been
formatted for Mac OS but that's all I've done so far.
Also, I have 2 ipods, my wife has one, and I was wondering if they'd still synch with the new libraries on the new HD unit, or would we
suffer the regular 'wipe-out' situation one reads about?

How do I download a move from itunes onto an external hard drive?
For whatever reason, my hard drive onboard does not have enough space for a movie to download. I don't want to take the time to clear the space, since the one thing Apple makes harder than a PC is seeing which files are the biggest for cleaning off hour disk. I have an external drive with plenty of space, but can't seem to get itunes to recognize it as a destination. How can I download my movie onto it swo I can them transfer it to my iPad?

I have an external drive with plenty of space, but can't seem to get itunes to recognize it as a destination.
before downloading the movie, go iTunes > preferences > advanced and point iTunes media folder location to the external.
iTunes will put new additions to your library where ever iTunes media folder location is pointed. -
I am a DJ and I download a lot of music from websites. My internal hard drive's space is almost full which in turn makes my macbook really slow. I bought an external hard drive to download everything onto it instead but it still downloads onto my internal hard drive. Please help me
Assuming you're using Safari, the default download folder is specified in Safari>Preferences>General. Go there and you'll see where Downloads is currently selected. Click on that, select Other, navigate to the directory you want to use and click Select.
