I was going to install Rosetta Stone Spanish onto my Macbook but am concerned about it taking up space on my 2GB hard-drive.  I have an external WD hard-drive; is it possible to put the application onto the external hard-drive to save space on my mac?

I was going to install Rosetta Stone Spanish onto my Macbook 10.6.7 but am concerned about it taking up space on my 2GB hard-drive.  I have an external WD hard-drive, and I was wondering if it is possible to put the application onto the external hard-drive to save space on my Mac? 

I think you're confused about how much hard drive space you have.  You probably have 2 GB of RAM...  there hasn't been a Mac shipped with only a 2 GB hard drive in a while.  At the bottom of any Finder window, how much space is available?
If you're actually running low on space, you should move documents to the external drive, since many applications want to be on the system drive.

  • I wanted to buy a macbook but im concerned about the...

    i wanted to buy a macbook but im concerned about dead or stuck pixels, now i do music production and a lil bit of photography and i need a really clean display, ive had dead pixels and stuck pixels, in my past monitors and i just dont want to be running up and down trying to find a good macbook with a good display

    And, what do you propose we can do to help you? Bad pixels in displays is a manufacturing problem. Testing a display is the only way to assure it doesn't have bad pixels. "Running up and down ... to find a ... good display" is the only solution. It’s not something with which we can help you.
    In the future if you have a question or problem, then please post it as such.

  • My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download

    My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download or re-install. " and then the button "Buy Now". When I hit the Buy Now button I am put in a field to buy Photoshop Elements 13, with no way to change to Elements 10. I do not want to go through the hassle of reinstalling etc. In fairness, it's been over a month since making the decision to buy. Still, I consider this a nightmare. Any ideas on how to buy the app I've got withou having to purchase a whole new one? Thanks.
    If worse comes to worse, will I need to uninstall the trial if I buy a new version? Can I use part of it lime download assistant?

    Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.  If you wish to purchase an older version you will have to find and take your chances with a third party vendor.

  • I received an error "iTunes requires 64-bit mode" says to go into my iTunes application and 'uncheck' the 'open in 32-bit mode' checkbox - i went into the application and the box was not checked anyway so why am i getting this prompt?  Never happened b4

    i received an error message "iTunes requires 64-bit mode" says to go into my iTunes application and 'uncheck' the 'open in 32-bit mode' checkbox - i went into the application and the box was not checked anyway so why am i getting this prompt?  Never happened before. yesterday did the sofware update for maverick.

    Thank you for your response, Chris. But I'm afraid I have to disagree. There are native 64 bit versions of iTunes available for OSX and Windows.
    In a 64 Bit Windows environment native 64 Bit Applications install the DLL's in a directory called "Program Files" and a directory called "Program Files (x86)" (32 Bit applications only use the ladder).
    iTunes 9 is consistent with this behavior - and it identified itself to the system as a 64 bit application (meaning it's process appears without a "*32" tag on it).

  • I often have to open files .cue with Text Edit. Right Click, Open with, Others, Text Edit. Is it possible to put Text Edit in the menu avoiding to use "others"?

    I often have to open files .cue with Text Edit. Right Click, Open with, Others, Text Edit. Is it possible to put Text Edit in the menu avoiding to use "others"?

    The easiest way is to keep Textedit in the Dock and drag the .cue file(s) to the Dock icon.
    You can also create an Automator Service:
    Open Automator
    Select: Service
    Select Service receives selected [files or folders] in [Finder]
    and:
    Then select one or more .cue file, right click (or Control-click) on the selection to display the contextual menu. Scroll to the bottom of the contextual menu and select Services -> (what you named the Service).

  • Unable to deploy the application onto the server (soadev)

    Hello,
    I tried to deploy an application using Jdeveloper but it failed. Then tried to directly deploy it onto the server and I am getting the following errors. The name of the application is Customer Application. Please provide any suggestions to solve this.

    Thanks,

    You need to remove the existing instance of the application from the server - either from the WebLogic Console or directly from JDeveloper:

  • Is it possible to push the application to the second screen?

    I have an JavaFX application. There are two monitors connected to the CPU.
    When I launch application for the first time, I need to see the application in the 1st monitor (primary monitor).
    When I launch second instance of application , I need to display the screen in the second monitor (secondary monitor). How do I send the display to different monitor screens connected to same machine?

    Implementation for topley's earlier post.
    import javafx.stage.Screen;
    import javafx.stage.Stage;
    import javafx.scene.Scene;
    def primary: Screen = Screen.primary;
    var secondary: Screen;
    for (screen: Screen in Screen.screens) {
        if (screen != primary) {
            secondary = screen;
    Stage {
            title : "I'm Not on the Main Screen"

  • While trying to open iPhoto this message coming-You can't the application "iPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac

    I recently upgraded my MacBook from Moutain Lion to Maverick.After upgrading I can not open the iPhoto.Whenever I try to open I get the message --You can't open the application "iPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.Tell me how to solve the problem?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Error on Mac: couldn't write  the application to the hard drive

    A Mac user can load the Connect meeting interface but when he
    tries to share screen he gets a pop-up that says:
    "Couldn't write the application to the hard drive. Please
    verify the hard disk is available" with options to retry or cancel.
    On retry same error.
    Any idea of what is going on and how to fix it?
    thanks

    Hi rpembroke,
    I don't know if this will help you or not.  I found the fix for me, for this problem and several others I was having.
    I created, or I should say, since I am still working on this, a new user account.  Once I created a new account and tried to install no more can't install to harddrive. Many of the other problems I was having are now gone also.
    I am in the process of moving over just what I need as far as apps, docs, book marks etc... So far everything is working fine. So you can try creating a new account and see.
    Hope this works for you.

  • "You can't open the application iTunes because it is not supported on this type of Mac"

    Yesterday, Software Updater has installed something which required me to "close iTunes in order to complete the installation" - I can only assume it was an iTunes (or related) update?
    Now when I try to open iTunes, a window appears, stating: "you can't open the application iTunes because it is not supported on this type of Mac".
    I have a Macbook (late 08) and am running 10.6.8
    I'm conscientious about keeping my software & apps up to date, so it should only be something very recent & I assume fairly minor...
    Any ideas??

    To anyone else who may have experienced this problem (I doubt that I'd be the only one):
    Over the past couple of days I have left my Macbook sitting idle for extended periods, put it to sleep, & also shut it down.
    This morning I tried to reinstall the same download that didn't work a couple of days ago & it has been recognised, installed & seems to run just fine - playing right now I'm happy to say!
    I suggest you try doing the same: ie. leave your machine sitting idle till it sleeps & shut it down, before you try the reinstall.

  • How do I install rosetta stone on my Macbook Air

    I have a MacBook Air and I like to know if I can install Rosetta Stone with out a cd/dvd drive

    This may have been answered before, but I also have a MacBook Air with and external DVD/CD drive.  Is it possible to install the Rosetta Stone "Installer Application" on my Air hardrive?  I work through the installation process, accept the installation location of Mac HD, but the application still disapears when I remove the disc.
    Is the problem that the Air just doesn't have enough local memory for this product?
