I am new to LR and before I install it I want to know if it can be installed on an external drive which would allow me to us it on both a desktop and laptop (both Macs) as needed.

My thinking is that if both the program and the library are on the same external drive it's easy for me to use the desktop when at home, and use the laptop when away from home. All I need to do is take the external drive with me. Is this possible? Are there any watch outs or downsides to doing this?

You can store the images and the LR catalog on an external drive, yes. But you would need to have the LR application installed on both the laptop and desktop machine and just move the drive with the images and catalog back and forth. That's pretty common...

BOB we need you urgently
Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
I want to test 2 other things:
1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

I removed firefox from the laptop so that I could download it again because the laptop was freezing while online. I have done this in the past and it worked. I used an old aol sign up disk to get back online and redownload firefox. this time, I could not get back online to download firefox. so, is there a way to get back online so
that I can down load firefox?

Hi is this Wifi/Airport?
If so...
Instead of joining it from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.

But you can install any version of Windows or Linux legally on an Apple notebook. That has to do with license agreements. You can read all the license agreements for Apple's operating systems here:

This tip explains how:

It may be time to sell your Acer, and get an Apple instead.

I have a 3rd generation ipod, the screen is broken and the battery is dead, I wanted to know if I can get an exchange for that towards a iphone 4

I have a 3rd generation ipod that was my daughter's. The screen is broken and the battery is dead but is there any exchange programs to get her a iphone 4? Her contract for Verizon is up in March 2013 but I wanted to get her an iphone for christmas. Can anyone help me please?

There is no exchange program. If the damage was caused by the user, it also wouldn't be covered by any warranty, so your best bet is to try to sell it as is or get it fixed and then sell it or keep using it. Some resellers will accept trade ins - I know this company accepts trade ins, but it may just be Macs, not iDevices - you can check though:

Hi!
I have an iphone 5 with my italian operator.
I must leave italy and go to Honduras, so I want to know if I can use my iphone 5 with an operator of honduras.
Can I use it at honduras?
Thank you for your help!

Nothing to do with iPhoto where you posted
That is a question for your wireless carrier - maybe someone in the iPhone forum would know but probably not - call your carrier and find out

Hi glennm98649874,
Absolutely yes! You can install your Acrobat subscription on up to two computers like your desktop & laptop.
Install Acrobat and use the same Adobe ID credentials to activate the software on both the machines.
Try and let me know if you need further help.

On both my desktop and notebook, sync just stops working and needs to be set up again! Although my account is still there ?

On both my desktop and notebook, sync just stops working and needs to be set up again! Although my account is still there ?
I have windows 7 on both computers and I use the paid version of Roboform (which does not encounter any problems!) So, I really need my sync to work and keep working. Please help......

Do you mean that after closing the browser your Sync set up is gone and you need to Set it up again?
This is, generally, because your privacy settings are too restrictive and you are deleting the password of your Sync account.
You can modify this in the Privacy tab of your Preferences/Options window. Select Remember History or Use Custom Settings in the drop down to configure the level that you want.

Currently have access to a friends computer with CS3 installed.I am going to buy a desktop with Windows 8 and I also have a laptop with Windows 7. What version of Photoshop is currently available that will work on both the desktop and the laptop? Can I install the same copy of Photoshop on the both machines simultaneously?

You can either buy a CS6 perpetual license, or Creative Cloud subscription. Both will run on the two computers you mention. You are allowed two installation with either version, but they must be for the same user. There is a cheap as chips Photography deal that gives you Photoshop and Lightroom for just $10/month, and feature gap is ever widening between CS6 and CC
