Is there a way to get elements to reference a file/photo instead of making a copy of the file/photo???

So I have a MBP with a 512GB SSD and my photo library is about 100GB. My music library is about 250GB. Videos make up another 70GB. I just installed Elements 11 photoshop and premiere and I don't have the space for it to duplicate everything. Is there a way to get the program to reference the file instead of making a duplicate/space hogging copy? Help!

For PSE, the only time the organizer makes a copy is if you use the "from iphoto" command, in which case it's necessary because other programs should not write to the iphoto library, a great way to corrupt it and cause loss of photos. For PRE, you should ask in the Premiere Elements forum:

Is there a way to get Elements 10 to open files from my Nikon D600?

Or do I really have to buy Elements 11? Elements 10 does everything I need for editing and I don't want to waste money on an upgrade right now. Is there ANY way around it? I've tried downloading the DNG converter, but when I try to open files to convert, none of my RAW files show up, not even from my old camera. I also tried to install updates for Elements10, including an update for ACR, but that didn't help either. Is there anything at all that I can do?

For Nikon D600, you have to get PSE 11.
With PSE 10 you cant open the RAW images for D 600
Check this : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
For D600, ACR 7.3 is required which is available in PSE 11, not in PSE 10
Alternatively, you can convert RAW images to DNG using DNG converter and then can view those DNG in PSE 10.

Is there a way of getting a "schedule view" in iCal on a mac and on iPad in the same way you can get one on iPhone?

IS there a way to get a schedule view of events on a busy day in iCal on the iPad 2 Air and on the Macbook Pro? I can get this view on an iPhone.

I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks) or share some of my personal information (scanned copies of my birth certificate, passport, certificates, photos, etc.) on the web.
If you put your info into the computer and hand it to another, you have to assume they will copy everything.
Why are you putting scanned copies of valuable identity information into a computer than can be hacked, stolen, lost or compromised by a dirty tech?
Have you lost your mind?
Is there a way of finding out what activity has taken place whilst they've had it in their possession?
No. The tech would just deny it if he did, or tell the truth which the answer would be "NO" in either case.
The employer won't ask that sort of questions without solid proof, less they make a enemy of the employee and/or risk being sued for defamation of character.
It's not like they bother to have a team of people watching over his shoulder that he doesn't stick a USB thumb drive of your data into his pocket to take home.

If it's iTunes music, it has your personal ID embedded into the song files. Most IT techs know this though.
I appreciate any advice you guys can offer.
Too late now, all you can do is not worry about it.
Take your personal info out of the machine and if you need it, burn cd/dvd copies, a few USB thumb drives, Iron Keys or self encrypting external storage drives with key and/or keypad.

I moved all my music from c: drive(because it was full) to an external harddrive and now itunes can't find any of my music. Is there a way to get Itunes to find music on external drive without having to place all the music back onto the c: drive? Thanks

Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

Is there any way to get an older version of iTunes on my computer? I really dislike the newest version.

My computer crashed last week. I had to replace it. It was necessary to reinstall iTunes. Of course, the most current version was downloaded. I really dislike it. I can no longer sort my music the way I want it.There is way too much emphasis album art work. It takes too much work to do the same thing older versions were able to do. Crazy as it sounds, I'm looking for a downgrade.
Does anyone know how to download an older version? I hate to think I'm stuck with the current one. Your suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

because my computer doesn't have the required Service Pack 2
Then install it.
It fixes many, MANY bugs and problems.

Is there a way to get iPhoto back after updating to photos beta for mac?

I recently purchased a new macbook air. I wanna transfer all my photos from my current iMac to my new laptop. I have several problems though. I did the beta program and i'm running 10.10.3 on my iMac. as a part of having 10.10. 3, you get the photos beta and no longer get access to iPhoto. i see no way of backing up your photos to an external HD using that program. There's nothing online regarding the matter either. I don't think this beta of 10.10.3 is very good either. I want to use the regular 10.10. 2. That's why i don't simply just use Time Machine. Does anyone have any tips?

i see no way of backing up your photos to an external HD using that program.
You do it exactly the same way as you do with iPhoto.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
The Photos beta does nothing to iPhoto. It coexists with it. Did you ever have iPhoto on the machine?
The only way to roll back an update when you don't have a back up is to erase the disk and start over.

Is there a way to get Automator to select invisible files?

I need a way to get Automator to be able to select invisible files. Does anybody know a workaround?
Shift-Command-Period doesn't do anything (except make a beep).

The regular Automator actions typically use the current Finder settings, so (depending on your workflow) you can temporarily set the Finder to show all files (including invisibles) and reset it when you are done, or you can use a *Run AppleScript* action to put up a file choice dialog that includes invisible items.

My external hard drive quit on me. Is there a way to get my content(pics, music and videos) back onto my computer- This is the pc and iTunes that I currently use with this iPod Classic 160gig. I don't want to lose all my info. please help. Thanks.

All my content is still on my iPod classic but my external HDD quit and is not accessible. I am wondering if I can put some of my content onto my PC(my iPod has more storage than my PC hahaha pretty bad) This is the PC I used with iTunes with so I don't think licensing is an issue- But can I upload back to my PC without iTunes wiping clean my iPod because there is no more content on PC/HDD? I know I may need to send my HDD away to to a Data Recovery Specialist. But if I can save a couple hundred bucks to couple thousand bucks I would prefer this method... mostly worried about photos- can't download these again. Next time I will buy a second back up.

inMy iPod is ok, but my external hard drive crashed and that's where all my stuff was. It is still also on my iPod. My question is, Can I plug my iPod into my PC and put everything back onto my PC's hard drive? This iPod and PC are synced together already. I am worried when I plug my iPod back into my PC, itunes will erase everything on it because it's not in my PC but in my crashed external HDD that I can't access.
You'll need to get yourself a new drive big enough to hold all the data you are going to recover and then reading the tip B-rock has pointed you to. Read it carefully, it should guide you through the steps to recover as much as possible. You are wise to be worried, just plugging in the iPod and clicking sync isn't good enough but it should be possible to recover to most if not all of it.

Is there any way to get iphone mail to show which incoming messages have been marked "urgent" by the sender?

My work voicemail emails me after-hours messages via gmail. Callers are given the option of tagging them as "urgent", which on my Windows phone, meant that they came in with a little red exclamation point (just as Outlook does). Urgent messages on iphone's mail app, though, don't seem to have any such indicator. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

I just did a test email, seems like that function isn't available with the iphone.

No. Sell the 8gb and buy one with more capacity.

Is there any way to get this palette into photoshop CS6?

I'm curious as to why Photoshop CS6 can't have a simple effective palette choice like this one from Fireworks?
I'm an artist and this palette makes sense to me. The standard issue pallette in Photoshop is a mess compared to this.
Is there any way to get this palette into photoshop CS6?
Thanks!

If your talking about the Color Cubes from fireworks as shown in your screenshot, then yes.
Save the swatches out of fireworks as an Adobe Swatch Exchange File (ASE) and then you can load them into photoshop
in it's swatches panel like below.

The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

Restore it from your most recent backup or from the computer Calendar app you sync your iPhone with via iTunes.

My ipod is disable and i know my passcode is there a way to get more passcode login attempts?

I remember my passcode after the fact that i have tried to put it in, now my ipod is locked. I do not have my laptop that my ipod is syncd to because i am currently deployed, is there a way to get more passcode attempts?

Sorry but no. You have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
