HT4854 Can I copy the downloaded file to another computer to avoid the 4gigs re-download?

I'm downloading ML and it takes A LOT to download the 4gb install files, can I just copy the downloaded files into my other computer so I can avoid re-downloading it?

When Mountain Lion is fully downloaded it will automatically start. DO NOT click the Install button. Instead Quit the installer. Make a copy and put it in your Downloads folder for safe keeping. Now, see the following:
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.

Keep in mind that your Library folder is hidden by default in Mountain Lion.
To find it, hold down the option key and choose the Go menu in the Finder.

What I need to do?
Thanks!

I haven't researched it and I don't claim to know everything about iTunes, but it has always been my understanding that you can only use one computer per iPod, but you can have multiple iPods per computer. From what I understand, this is to prevent illegal sharing and whatnot.

In Keynote09, if i set custom presenter display settings (large presenter notes), and i save the file, will i see my notes in the same way on another computer? Are the presenter display setting saved in the file?

Copy FCP Project File to Another Computer - Version of FCP

Hi
I just started using the Media Manager, and it works great for copying RAW footage, and proejct files to another computer.
Just wondering;
In the tests I've conducted, the Project File got copied just fine to a system that contained the same FCP Version (5.1), as the source drive/system.
If I copy Raw Media and a Project File to another system that has version 6, will I be able to re-copy it back into my version; 5.1?
Thanx

Hello and thank you
"You would then need to export an XML file out of FCP6, to work with it in FCP5"
Can this 'XML file' behave like an ordinary edited clip in the timeline? Can it be edited? Or will this 'XML file' be an un-editable movie type file when placed back on the timeline in 5.1?
Know what I mean?

How to relocate one of the control files on another computer?

Hi ,
I have created a database(10g Release 2) on a windows xp laptop. The control_files parameter is:
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\DB10G\CONTROL01.CTL, C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\DB10G\CONTROL02.CTL, C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\DB10G\CONTROL03.CTL *, and I use spfile* . Now, I would want to move the third control file(C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\DB10G\CONTROL03.CTL) to a disk on another computer ( which is a desktop running Windows XP SP2).The laptop and the desktop are on the same network, the laptop IP address is 192.168.0.1, and the desktop IP address is 192.168.0.2.On the desktop, I have a directory named CONTROL_FILES_DIR on a disk partition named C,*and using Windows appropriate GUI, I have shared this directory CONTROL_FILES_DIR , and given to all users the read and write rights on this CONTROL_FILES_DIR directory*. Then, I take the following steps:
a- In sql*plus(on the laptop), I execute
alter system set control_files='C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\DB10G\CONTROL01.CTL', 'C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\DB10G\CONTROL02.CTL', '\\192.168.0.2\C:\CONTROL_FILES_DIR\CONTROL03.CTL' SCOPE=SPFILEb- Then , in sql*plus(on the laptop), I execute
shutdown immediate;c- Now, I copy CONTROL03.CTL file (on the laptop) and paste it in the directory C:\CONTROL_FILES_DIR on the desktop.
d-Now, in sql*plus(on the laptop), I execute
connect /as sysdba e-And,after the step d, I execute(in sql*plus, on the laptop):
startupAnd sql*plus displays the message : ORA-00205 error in identifying control file; check alert log .
I read the alert log file , and it was written:

ORA-27041: unable to open file

Thanks.Even if you get this to work one time, the very operation of your db is dependent on the availability of that second computer. Not a wise design decision. What problem are you trying to solve with this technique?

How can i reset/restore my ipad from another computer thatis not the original one i used

I forgot my password on my ipad. I originally synced with myy iphone. I can't resync because I do not have a plug to connect the two.
How can I do this on another computer?

iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 - Learn what to do if you have forgotten or can't remember your passcode, or if your device displays a message saying it is disabled.
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)

My computer was stolen. How can I restore backed up files to another computer from Time Capsule?

My stolen computer's files were backed up to a Time Capsule. I would like to restore some data files to another laptop. How do I do this? Thanks!

Sorry to hear that!
You could use Migration Assistant to pull the data from the Time Capsule to the new computer.

Does the last updated backup in Time Machine have all my files for "standard" file copy? (i want to copy and paste files to another computer that doesn't have TM)

My personal Macbook pro died, but I did have a Time Machine backup. I have a new iMac that I would like to use as a family computer. I would like to transfer some files to the new computer (and set-up a new Time Machine backup), but archive the remainder on a non-TM drive. I was planning to:
1. File copy my last backup folder from my old TM drive to the new computer
2. Copy (and then delete) the files I want to archive on another HD drive
3. Wipe clean my current TM drive
4. Set-up TM on my new computer
Is this a good way to proceed?
Is copying the last backup folder (vs. all backup folders) enough to move my files over?
Any better approaches appreciated!

I suggest you visit MicroCenter and go to there Apple section and ask one of there guys if they are still offering the 2 terabyte Backup For the iMac, Mine was only $100.00.
So the iMac has Time machine plus the USB 2 Terabyte Backup for less than your $130.00

HT204365 How can I transfer several pdf files to another app using only the iPad?

I have several PDF files in iBooks.
I also use Notes Plus, which reads pdf files.
In any application (other than iBooks) that reads pdf files, the curved arrow asks me if I want to open the pdf in another program - e.g. Notes Plus
But iBooks' curved arrow only offers to email or print.
I believe Apple should update iBooks to allow pdf files to open in other applications.
Do you agree? Or is there some way - without emailing or internet connection, without computer syncing - only using the iPad alone - that I can transfer pdf files from iBooks to Notes Plus and other apps?

Short of emailing it to yourself for which you do need an Internet connection, there is no way to open that PDF in another app. iBooks just does not allow for it.
If you want to see Apple add the capability to iBooks, let them know about it.

Can I copy Bridge workspace preferences to another computer?

I purchased CS6 for another machine. I've mostly got the workspace in Bridge to look like my other machine's preferred workspace.
What I want to do, and have not found the answer, is to show the "favorites" and "folders" tabs in the left pane, then further down in that same pane, show the "filter, collections and export" tabs.
The new machine shows these tabs near the top, but I don't know how to move those tabs downward.
Here's what I am trying to do:
Thanks much.
Al

What I want to do, and have not found the answer, is to show the "favorites" and "folders" tabs in the left pane, then further down in that same pane, show the "filter, collections and export" tabs.
It is a bit tricky but once tried easy enough. place your cursor on the tab of a panel and hold click while dragging. A blue surrounding line appears. Now point to the wished location (between two existing rows in a column or between two columns) until a blue appears. Then let the panel drop. When you drag it next to another tab a blue surrounding line appears meaning you can dock this panel as a tab next to the existing. You have a max of 3 columns, don't know if there is a max to rows but your screen and visibility is the limit.

Writing to file on another computer

How can I write to a file on another computer using labview. My
computers are networked together using Windows networking.
thanks,

This is something that is a little different with each
OS. You either need to mount the drive of the remote
computer, or you use a string that includes the computer
name, usually called a UNC name.
Assuming you are on a PC, try using something like
\\PCName\d:\directory\file.
This is the path to the file, Open it, Write to it, and
Close it. If you have problems, it may very well be a
permissions problem. The remote computer will have to
allow you to write to the disk. Typically this will
involve going to the remote computer and publishing
the drive or directory.
Once you have permission and figure out what the path
looks like, you
just use the regular file I/O functions.
This is the most straightforward approach and like I say,
its done slightly different on different OSes. For
computers that are more remote, or when you are changing
OSes, you can use ftp client VIs or lots of other tools.
