Install and run Adobe Reader on an external hard drive / flash drive

I want to install Adobe Reader on a flash drive so that PDF documents on the same drive can be read by Windows users who do not have Reader installed. Is this possible?

What you want is Sumatra http://portableapps.com/apps/office/sumatra_pdf_portable
or
Foxit Portable http://www.pendriveapps.com/foxit-portable-pdf-reader/
There are a few dozen others, but those two are the best for running from a Flash Drive. Persoanlly, I prefer Sumatra.

    Yes. Find the LR catalog file by looking in Edit/Catalog Settings/General. Close LR and navigate to that spot. The catalog file is the one that ends in .lrcat - move it to wherever you want. Next to the .lrcat file is a subfolder called Previews.lrdata. You can move that over as well, but if you don't LR will generate new previews. Double-click on the .lrcat file in its new home and LR will open with that catalog. Set Preferences to When Starting Up Use Most Recent Catalog.

  • How can I download Adobe Reader to an external hard drive to use on a machine not internet connected

    I am trying to download Adobe Reader to my external 1Tb hard drive to use on a desk top that is not connected to the internet for security purposes. how can I choose which drive to save the download to?

    I have the Windows link handy, ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.0/en_US/AdbeRdr1010_en_US.msi
    For Mac (I haven't tested it), but the following link should work: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/mac/10.x/10.1.0/en_US/AdbeRdr1010_en_US.dmg

    I have been trying to install Photoshop CS6 & CC and Acrobat Pro XI on my Mac Pro (late 2013). I keep getting a 'configuration' error message and wondered if the problem was wide spread.
    TIA,

    Thanks, Martin.
    Good to hear someone has had success. The lack of it here is frustrating and depressing.
    Thanks again,

  • I run my iTunes via a external hard drive, however it has lost all it's contents and I haven't backed up! What can I do?

    I run my iTunes via a external hard drive, however it has lost all it's contents and I haven't backed up! What can I do?
    My iPad contents probably 75% of my iTunes library, but I'm scared to sync just in case in wipes the entire contents. I know I should of backed up but it was one of them jobs I never got round too (will def do now if my problem is solved)
    Can anyone help with a solution?
    Many thanks

    If all of your media is from iTunes, don't worry about it. You can either transfer everything on your iPad from your iPad to your commputer; and/or you can redownload from iTunes all music and apps, and most of everything else.
    If any of your media is from other sources, that's not so easily recoverable. If it's on your iPad, you can transfer it to your computer via a third-party application such as Senuti. (There are many alternatives to Senuti, some work just as well and are free.) Anything from non-iTunes sources and not on your iPad is completely gone, unless you have CDs or other physical media from which you obtained it stored somewhere.
    At least now you know how important it is to have a backup.

  • HT1284 Can I back up my Mac and my pc to the same external hard drive?  If so, could you explain how? Thanks.

    Can I back up my Mac and my pc to the same external hard drive?  If so, could you explain how? Thanks.  I am a new user with mountain lion.

    You could partition the drive into 2 partitions.  One formatted as HFS+ for Mac OS X back, and one formatted as NTFS for Windows backup.
    You would have to move the drive from system to system to do your backups.  If there are 2 systems, I would suggest just getting separate drives for each, unless they are both laptops, then you will be disconnecting the drives all the time anyway.
    Unless Windows is running in a virtual machine on your Mac.  Then a partitioned drive would be fine.

  • Can an intel iMac run OSX Tiger from an external hard drive?

    Hi can anyone please tell me if it is possible to run OSX Tiger from an external hard drive on an Intel iMac running OSX 10.5 Leopard or later?
    Or is it possible to partition the intel iMac's hard drive and add Tiger?
    At the moment I am running Tiger on a partitioned hard drive shared with OSX Leopard and wish to upgrade to an intel Mac. I need tiger to run some software not compatible with newer Macs and also to access OS9 Classic. Thanx for your help.

    IF you upgraded from Panther as you know you do not have an Intel based iMac. I beleive the limit of your upgrades on your current machine is going to be Leopard. The system requirements for Snow Leopard are:
    General requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply
    This is straight from Apple so yes if you want to go beyond Leopard then you must purchase a new machine. My suggestion would be to begin replacing your legacy apps, you are extremely far behind and the longer you wait the more painful it will be to get current.
    Good luck.

  • I recently reset my computer and copy my music from an external hard drive to my itunes library.  When I click on a song to play i get an error message that says " the song could not be used because the original file could not be found".  need help

    I recently reset my computer and copy my music from an external hard drive to my itunes library.  When I click on a song to play i get an error message that says " the song could not be used because the original file could not be found".  But when I have my external hard drive plug in the song will play with no problem.  What do I need to do to play my music without having the external harddrive plug in ????????  Please help

    Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive.  If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
    You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
    Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
    -Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
    -Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down.  You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
    -Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes.  Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked.  You can close Preferences now.
    -Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library.  iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
    Shouldn't have any more problems...

  • I had to reformat my computer and put my Itunes on an external hard drive.  Once I fixed my computer and put Itunes back I can't itunes to open on my PC.  I see it but it appears locked now.

    I reformed my PC and placed my Itunes on a external hard drive.  I have moved them back to the PC but can not open.  How are i get my Itunes working I can see them in my files but they are locked.

    I'm sure when it was taken to reformat, he just put everything from my computer onto the external.  I know he did't save them to any back up disc's.  When he moved everything back is when I lost my Itunes library and it only shows as that XML.  I do have an old back up I can restore most.
    Any way to import from my touch what is on it, I have not connected it to my PC since.
    I did get all my music purchased on, but under purchased I can't find my movies.
    Thank you!!

    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

    I have purchased itunes tv series, movies and music and have transferred them onto an external hard drive and tried to play them on my tv on a media hub.  The file will not load.  Is there some form of blocking by itunes or another p[roblem and how do I fix it?

    You can't fix it.  iTunes bought content is DRM protected. so it can only be played on authorized devices.  i.e devices associated with the apple Id used to purchase the content.  Its copyright protection that the rights owners demand.
    Circumventing it, is illegal in most countries, and as such cannot be discussed here.  If you want to play the content you'll need to connect your computer directly to your TV, or use some other device you can authorize for iTunes content such as an iPad, iPhone , iPod touch or Apple Tv.

  • How to edit (read/write) an external hard drive that is attached to a router

    Hi everyone.
    I have Macbook Air (2013) with OSX 10.9 Maverics, and Netgear WNDR4500 router with WD external hard drive attached to it. My problem is that I don’t have writing permissions. When I’m trying to change something in the hard drive, it says “The operation can’t be completed, because you don’t have necessary permission”. Under Get info / Sharing & Permissions, it just says “You have custom access”, and there is no option to change privileges to “Read & Write”.
    I would appreciate if anyone could help me with this.
    Thanks!

    I don't use TM, but as far as I know, the only way it will work wirelessly is with a Time Capsule. Check the info here:
    http://pondini.org/TM/2.html
    which is from one of the subheadings here:
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I would guess that you'd be able to write to the drive once you have it attached via a cable (FW, USB, etc) to your Mac (not your router).
