L9 and L8 on separate hard drives within the same Mac Pro: Legal?

I'm working with someone who is using Logic 8 (and a late version of Tiger) and will be for the next year or so.
My version of Logic 9 is an upgrade from 8. Obviously I can boot only one system at time, so only one version of Logic would be running at a time.
It occurred to me that I could keep a 10.5 compatible version 8.02 on a partition on a spare internal drive in my Mac Pro so that we can file share as projects are being developed.
Is this ok?

You can keep SL on the system.
Your signature says 10.6.8, so you should have "App Store" (upper left corner, Apple Menu).  $29 to buy/download.  It could take 30 minutes to several hours, depending on your network speed and what your neighbor is downloading.
Then use this to save what you downloaded before installing Lion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16639520#16639520
I would suggest ether-cable to get the best constant speed, and change your "powersave" setttings to NOT "sleep" at allduring the download process.

  • How to use hard drives with the new mac pro

    A few quick questions about upgrading to new Mac pro desktop
    I currently have 4 internal hard drives for a total of 8T
    What will the solution be to add storage to the new desktop?
    I assume it will be thunderbolt options?
    Lets say I wanted at least 8TB of storage to add to the computer
    and attached the storage via thunderbolt will it be as fast data throughput
    as the harddrives in my current computer hooked up to the external bus?
    I also have a pci card running my audio plugins for Universal Audio how will those pci
    cards work on the new mac pro?

    Also will the transfer rate with the pegas be as fast as if the drives were connected to the bus in the machines like the old mac pro?
    To answer that, think of this as a Bottleneck problem. The overall performance is as slow as the slowest device.
    At this writing typical rotating drives can produce a momentary burst at 125 MBytes/sec or 1,000 Mbits/sec. Only FireWire 800 is starting to be a limit for that -- EVERYTHING else is faster. Thunderbolt-1 is 10,000 Mbits/sec -- ten times faster.
    The best SSD can produce a burst at maybe 800 MBytes/sec or 6,400 Mbits/sec. There is not a big speed difference in an SSD RAID, because the latency is already low. But the 10,000 Mbits/sec of ThunderBolt-1 is still plenty fast enough for that as well.
    If ThunderBolt-2 devices really can run a single data stream at 20,000 Mbits/sec, that does not make ANYTHING faster -- it just moves the ceiling (potential bottleneck) a bit farther away.

  • How do I free up space on my C drive by moving photos to a separate hard drive on the same pc?

    I need to free up space on my C Drive by moving photos to Seagate expansion (H) drive. Currently use Windows Vista and elements 11 where I have organiser containing folders and albums which I want to keep intact after the move. Photos are currently held in C:users, valued customer, pictures. I’m pretty ignorant on how to do this but have tried to read and follow the FAQs and previous advice and think I have some understanding(!) I have made a catalog back up onto a separate Seagate expansion drive (F) and although the files appear to have been renamed as ‘B0000001’ for example, I believe this is normal and I can also see a backup.tly and a catalog.buc file so I’m assuming the backup was successful. I think I need to take the following steps;
    1. drag and drop the folders containing my photos from the C drive into the (H) drive. (Does this have to be completed one folder at a time or can they all be highlighted and dragged and dropped in the same action)?
    2. As I’m not changing computer then I’m assuming I don’t need to restore the catalog?
    3. At this point I won’t have deleted anything off the C drive so how do I ensure the catalog establishes links with the photos that are now on the (H) drive if they’re still on the C drive?
    4. Once I know the photos are safely on the (H) drive and all links to the catalog have been established I’ll take a new backup of the catalog onto the separate Seagate expansion drive (F)
    5. Do I need to take a separate backup of the photos which are now on the (H) drive?
    6. I’ll then delete the photos on the C drive.
    7. In future any new photos I take and import into Element 11 organiser, I’ll save on the (H) drive.
    Have I got the steps right? Any help would be appreciated as I don’t want to lose anything.
    Thanks.

    It's much simpler:

    Yes, the renaming is normal and the fact you can see a backup.tly file is good. However, even if you are 99% sure that the backup is ok, the only way to be 100% sure would be to restore somewhere else... (being somewhat paranoid!)
    I think I need to take the following steps;
    1. drag and drop the folders containing my photos from the C drive into the (H) drive. (Does this have to be completed one folder at a time or can they all be highlighted and dragged and dropped in the same action)?
    Dragging a master folder also drags its subfolders, no problem.
    2. As I’m not changing computer then I’m assuming I don’t need to restore the catalog?
    No, no need to do that. When you move (by drag and drop or the move menu) the organizer automatically updates the catalog.
    3. At this point I won’t have deleted anything off the C drive so how do I ensure the catalog establishes links with the photos that are now on the (H) drive if they’re still on the C drive?
    The drag and drop procedure really moves, that is to say : copies the files to the new location AND deletes the files in the old location. Note that if there is a problem in the file transfer, the original files won't be deleted. The transfer of big libraries can require several hours. That happened to me with a power outage at 95% of the process. The files already copied stayed on the new computer, the original files were not deleted and the database of the catalog rolled back to the initial situation as if I had done nothing. So dragging and dropping is safe, at least on recent PSE versions.
    4. Once I know the photos are safely on the (H) drive and all links to the catalog have been established I’ll take a new backup of the catalog onto the separate Seagate expansion drive (F)
    5. Do I need to take a separate backup of the photos which are now on the (H) drive?
    6. I’ll then delete the photos on the C drive.

    Thanks.
    If you take a new backup, it will include all the files recorded in the catalog. If you still have pictures on your C: drive, and possibly others on other external drives, everything will be backed up. You can't specify a backup for images in a given disk, only for all images in a catalog. For instance, you can move only a part of your images on your C: drive. You can add pictures in the drive you want, C: or H:

    If it were truly a backup, then the media would play on the laptop as it would be on the laptop.
    Sounds like you actually do not have a backup, instead you chose to keep your media on an external drive.
    Regardless of where the media is stored, it's always a good idea to have a backup for instances like this.

  • 2009 macbook pro incorrect number of file hard links. repaired and still slow. I replaced the hard drive within the year and it's 1 tb not full. help!

    I have a 2009 macbook pro and I keep it up to date. I replaced the hard drive with a new 1 tb hard drive within the last year. It is not even close to full. The other night I was doing a time machine backup and the spinning color wheel appeared. It would not go away and the only thing I could do was restart the computer. The Grey apple screen appeared and nothing else happens. I restarted in disk utility and verified the drive. It said "incorrect number of file hard links". I repaired it successfully and check the drive as well as the startup drive. All was ok. I restarted my computer and it took forever to come on. It is now one but I can not do anything. The desktop and all appropriate dock items are there but I can not do anything. What should I do?

    It's likely that the startup drive, or some other hardware component, is failing. Back up all data immediately, then run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test.
    Even if the test is negative, you should make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested more thoroughly.

    Hi!
    I have a WD my book external hard drive plugged into my imac and I want to share it over my network with my apple tv. I went into system preferences > sharing, checked "file sharing" and added my external hard drive to the shared folder. So now it is listed in "shared folders" but under "users" everything is grayed out (it says "read and write" for "everyone" - but "read and write" is grayed out, and it doesn't let me add or subtract users). Now I can access all of the folders I shared from my imac except for the externalhard drive. What's going on?

    Hi RRFS!,thanks for help.I forgot to tell that hard drive has 2 partitions 1:format :Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and that works properly,2:format:MS-DOS (FAT32) and when i "get info" for both :first has shering & permitions:You can read and write - with name and privilege, second has shaing & prermissions:You can read and write- without name and privilege

  • I had a second hard drive added to my Mac Pro.  How do I format it and not effect my orginal hard drive?

    I had a second hard drive added to my Mac Pro.  How do I format it and not effect my orginal hard drive?

    Just format it with Disk Utility as mentioned above.  Select the new disk on the list at the left.  Click the erase tab.  Specify Mac OS Extended (Journaled) if not already specified and give the disk a name of your choice.  Then click the erase button.
    That's the simplest way to format a disk with a single partition (volum). If you want to create multiple volume (partitions) then click the Partition tab instead of Erase.  You can then use then specify a number of volumes and size each volume by specifying its size or just dragging the slider in the bootm right of each partition.  Give each a name as before and again Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Click Apply button to create the partitions.
    Since you appear to be new at this just "play" with the erase and partition settings so you can become comfortable with them.  So long as you have the new disk selected on the left you can't really hurt anything since it's a new disk and no data to loose.  You can always go back and erase it back to a single partition.

    Aperture has the ability to work with files in their existing location. They are called "referenced masters." When you import images, you should select the "In their current location" in the "Store Files:" drop down box. Have a read of the documentation for full specifics. Unsure how you can resolve your duplication; might be some work but next time have a read of the manual first
    Information for versions is stored in the Aperture database (library file). The masters can be inside the library file itself, or they can be somewhere else.

  • Can I export my sidecar files to two or more hard drives at the same time from one computer?

    Can I export my sidecar files to two or more hard drives at the same time from one computer?  How do I do this, if it is possible?

    Each image is imported into the LR Catalog from just one stated location on disk. And that is where the sidecar gets written.
    But if you want, outside of LR, you can have a file sync utility replicate all physical changes within those folders on disk, into other corresponding locations on other drives - which hold a copy of all the same images, and a copy of the sidecars too. This might happen continuously, periodically or on demand depending on the particular tool you use... for example, the Dropbox desktop app.
    If you also want to have your LR Catalog replicated, I think this can only be done when LR is not running and using that.

  • REAL hard drive space on early mac pros??

    REAL hard drive space on early mac pros??
    I own one of the first generation Mac Pros 2.66ghz quad, 2006.
    I've read that you can use up to 2TB or 3TB of hard drive space inside the machine. I suspect this is understated. So what else is new?
    I currently have 3 x 500 gb drives and 1 x 2TB drive in my machine.
    I'd actually like to put in 3 more 2TB drives. Has anyone done this?
    Any thoughts?

    No, not really.
    A 3TB HD can be troublesome for BootCamp use, since the Windows partition is put in the area above 2TB and the Master Boot Record (MBR) Windows still uses has trouble / is incompatible with adressing harddisk space above 2.2TB.
    With some RAID setup and IIRC the Apple Raid 3TB harddisks are shown and using also only 2.2TB.
    So, in essence if you stay away from BootCamp Windows and RAID 4 x 3TB also work fine in your MP.
    And I had 2TB HDs in my own 2006 MP before I sold it and got me a 2010 MP.

    Mac Pro tower can support drives up to 4TB is size.

  • HT2542 Can we have two separate itunes accounts using the same mac?

    I am wanting to download music to my Thunderbolt smart phone (i know, no iphone yet, next upgrade) and I want to use itunes to do it. My partner has an itunes account and I thought I opened my own itunes account, but apparently I didn't. I don't like the same music and only want to download music I like to my phone. Can we just have one account and be able to download checked music from the itunes to multiple devices?

    I'm confused
    Can we have two separate itunes accounts using the same mac?
    Can we just have one account and be able to download checked music from the itunes to multiple devices?
    Do you want one or two?
    By the way, and iTunes account is really the thing you use online to purchase music, not what you have on a computer.  You have user accounts on a computer, and you have iTunes libraries or collections of media.  You can have multiple user accounts on a computer.  You can have a single or multiple user accounts use a single or multiple libraries.  We need to know exactly what it is you have/want.

  • Can I run a mxo2 mini and a BMD intensity pro on the same mac pro?

    Hi to everyone,
    I have a strange question to you: Can I run a Matrox MXO2 mini and a Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro on the same Mac Pro?
    That's because I find more versatile using a MXO2 with editing software (I have an AVID MC 5.5.3 and I don't want to update it to 6 yet) and I'd like to begin to use DaVinci Resolve from Blackmagic Design which, of course, functions only with their cards. My goal is to output Resolve to my FullHD CRT instrumental monitor without spending the money to upgrade AVID for now, I'm fine with 5.5.3.
    I won't use them togheter but alternatively as you can easily imagine.
    thanks
    best regards,
    ginuz

  • How do I place my files on a separate hard drive from the system drive with OS X?

    I have a mac pro and want to place my files on a seperate hard drive to the system. Can anybody please ad vise me what I have to do to achieve this. My OS X is Lion 10.7.5

    Drag and drop will normally work if the separate hard drive is formatted right:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3003
    Mind you, an external hard drive is the ideal way of backing up data.   Software such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Time Machine can be used for backing up, and is much faster than using the Finder for drag and drop, and will ensure the entire system gets backed up.  
    Time Machine offers whole unbootable system backup with archiving.  Each archive has a temporary existence as long as the backups are automatic.  When you make them manual, you can copy them off to a non-time machine source to ensure they exist longer.  The larger your destination drive, the longer the archives last.
    Carbon Copy Cloner is used most often for clones, and it maintains an exact replica of the original, deleting anything the original had deleted on the copy that it makes, and its backups are bootable when they are successful.  It offers archiving options, but they aren't as transparent as Time Machine.
    Firewire 800 is faster than USB 2.   PCI eSATA and Thunderbolt cards are faster.  The ability to boot the PCI based cards varies by card.  But the SATA drives can be inserted internally if you want them to be boot.  Some SATA drives need a jumper to be able to be read by your 1.1's slower internal SATA bus speed.  Check with the hard drive vendor.  USB 3 cards exist as well, though I've heard USB 3 has difficulty with WiFi interferance.

  • I blew my motherboard on an old computer and hooked my old hard drive to the new computer and want to transfer my bookmarks to the new drive but cannot find where they are located on the old drive--any help?

    My motherboard went bad on my old computer, but the hard drive was OK. I purchased a new computer and hooked my old hard drive to it through a usb adapter. I would like to import or copy my bookmarks from the old hard drive to my new one, but I cannot find where they are. I was unable to determine this from searching articles on the web. Be advised that my old hard drive is basically nothing but a storage place for files at this point. My old operating system was windows XP, and my new system is Windows Home Premium.
