Logic pro x onto separate hard drives

I have a server version of the i7 mac mini which has 2 x 500 gb hard drives and i want to download logic pro x this week. I was wondering is it possible to download logic onto one hard drive and content onto the other hard drive? If anyone out there has logic pro x and knows the best way to set it up on a mac mini with 2 hard drives id love some advice.

Hi
Do you have plugins such as Kontakt or Play that are using their own virtual memory?

How to put ituness movies onto separate hard drive?

I have just started to downloads films from the itunes store, however I don't want to clog up my Mac's hard drive. Is there any way to put the Movies onto an external hard drive? Please bear in mind I watch the films by streaming to Apple TV.

1. The data won't be erased unless a problem occurs.
2. The Time Machine backup should be on a different drive, as drives can fail.

Can you download the extra data of Logic Pro X on a separate hard drive?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have another Mac, open the App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and download Logic Pro X. Then, copy it to an external drive (it's saved in /Applications). Finally, copy Logic from the external drive to the Applications folder of your Mac desktop

Hello, Trying to run Bootcamp on my 15" Macbook Pro (Maverick).60 gig available on my computer's hard drive and 250 gig on a separate hard drive that I have attached which is single partitioned. Keeps saying "The startup disk does not have enough space"

Hello,
I'm trying to run Bootcamp on my 15" Macbook Pro (Maverick). I have 60 gig available on my computer's hard drive and have 250 gig on a separate hard drive that I have attached, which is single partitioned (MS-DOS FAT). It keeps saying "The startup disk does not have enough space, you must have 28 gig of free space available" Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the advice Bob The Fisherman. I'm just reading what turbostar has kindly written and it appears that perhaps, if I take advice from you both, I need to free more space up on the computer's hard drive?
With the external hard drive; would it be advisable to defragment? Know of any defrag freeware for Mac OSX?
Many thanks to you both.

How do I save a web movie onto my hard drive with qt pro

w do I save a web movie onto my hard drive with qt pro

Let the file completely download.
Depending on the play controller you'll either see a downward pointing arrow at the right end (click it to save a copy) or no downward pointing arrow (in which case you right click on the player window).

I moved from an old macbook to a new one. I have installed Office for Mac 2011. I copied all my files from my old notebook onto a hard drive. On trying to setup my mail, i went into my hard drive and accessed microsoft user identities, office 2011 and it shows the database but wont let me select it. Its almost as if the file is there but not accessable. I desperately need to access my old mail. How do I do this? I am fairly confident that I copied all files off my old notebook. Is there a way for me to search for the Database file? Maybe I copied it to a different location? Urgent help please.

Hello mafrerichs and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Simplest way is to use Target Disk mode:
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode - Apple Support
and hook to another Mac and use CCC or SuperDuper and clone your HD to another drive.
You could also pull the drive out of your MBP and use an external USB case or SATA - USB dongle to hook it to another Mac.

Boot Camp / Windows Partion... Can it be installed on a separate hard drive

I am just beginning to explore the idea of installing Boot Camp & Windows on a new Intel Mac I will be buying. I've been reading a lot of references to the Windows partition...
Can I dedicate a separate hard drive to Windows rather than partition my primary hard drive? If so would it be best to use an internal drive rather than a Firewire or USB drive. What would a reasonable minimum drive size be?
Thanks for you feedback.
Mike

Hi Mike,
since only the Mac Pro can have more than one internal HD, I assume you are talking about getting one of them
With more than one internal HDs you can put Windows on the second, third, fourth internal HD with the BootCamp Assistant.
On a side note: Windows does not support to be booted from external HDs (neither FireWire nor USB).
Reasonable size depends on what you want to do with it.
Windows XP itself takes up to 3.5GB of HD space after installation, Vista takes up to 10GB.
Add to that the HD space you need for the programs and data you use/produce.
And when keeping in mind the hassle it takes to enlarge the Windows partition if needed, my personal suggestions are:
Windows XP at least 30GB, Vista at least 50GB.
Have you already had a look here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ especially at the Installation Guide ?

Stefan

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.

Will my MacPro be safe if I install Windows 7 on a separate hard drive?

I have a MacPro desktop with two hard drives: the first has my programs, the second is a dedicated media drive where i store all my media for my FInal Cut Pro and Motion projects.
I bought a third hard drive that I plan to dedicate as my PC hard drive. If I install Windows 7 on this third hard drive, is there any danger that my mac computer could become infected with viruses.
I figured I could partitition my drive. But I thought it would be safer if I just bought a separate hard drive altogether and stored nothing but Windows 7 and Windows-compatible programs on the third hard drive.
But if an internet virus infects my PC hard drive, could my entire MacPro desktop be at risk?
Thanks very much in advance for any advice and help,
- Nick

No, Mac OS drives etc should be fine.
Pull your OS X drives while you install 7.
Use MS Security Essentials, excellent, but also use "common sense."
So more reading.
Virus, WORMs, trojan horses, malware, 'man in the middle,' there is more than just AV, and online banking is the most often targeted with some degree of success -- on any platform. And email scams.

Post-Lion Macbook Pro with newly installed Hard Drive, but it won't boot up

I just bought a Macbook pro with all the stock specifications and it boots up fine and everything is great. However, when I tried to put in a new hard drive, the computer doesn't recognize it and it won't boot up (i.e. the flashing folder sign with the question mark after a long gray screen). Since the new lion installs seem to be already pre-loaded onto the hard drive it doesn't automatically connect to the internet and download Lion from the server. I was told holding down Command + R would work (as well as C, and a few others), but it still doesn't read anything! It doesn't make any sense because in the pamphlet that came with the pro said that holding down Command + R would allow you to go to Disk Utility and partition the drive or whatever, but it doesn't seem to be happening.
My harddrive is a momentus XT seagate and I heard that those are compatible with Macs. One solution I heard is that I need to get a disk of OSX Lion (by downloading it onto someone else's computer and then removing the installer file), but that seems kinda tricky considering I don't know anyone's macbook that I can do that with. Are there any other options? Am I missing something? Please help!

Can`t you put the other drive in and then burn a Lion Installation disk?

Help! Can't use separate hard drive to load software

I have a separate 120GB hard drive and want to store & load my Final Cut Pro software on here to lighten the load on my macbook pro. It won't let me use the separate hard drive as the start up drive to load FC pro. IS there a way I can change this? Is it something to do with partitioning it in Disk Utility?
Many thanks..

Ah!
You are quite right, ordinaryjo. You can only install the FCP application on a bootable drive, and only run it while booted from that drive. So yes, to run FCP from your external you will have to install OSX on it first , and boot from that drive when you wish to use it.
The way that most people avoid overloading their notebook drives when using FCP without having to do this is to install only the FCP applications on the internal drive, and to put everything else associated with the applications (templates, etc etc etc) on the external . The applications only take up about 4 GB of space, rather than the 60+ GB involved with a complete installation.

Booting separate hard drives

How do I boot separate haed drives with diferent versions of OS X.
Reason is to utilize hardware for which upgraded drivers are not available

You install a second OS onto the hard drive normally. It needs to be at least as new as the version which originally shipped with the computer.
If you want to install 10.6.8 or earlier, restart with the C key held down.

I have a 500GB external hard drive and only 120GB Macbook. It worked fine before the latest Maverick's update. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My guess would be it has created an entirely new backup of your drive when you upgraded to Mavericks.

I want to transfer my iTunes files to a separate hard drive

I have iTunes stored on my desktop PC. It is the one that I have, so far, stored all iTunes music on. I wanted to transfer these songs to a separate hard drive to free up space on my computer's hard drive. I felt I needed to install iTunes on the separate hard drive which I did today. I then thought I could just find the same type of folder on the separate hard drive that was on the PC but that was not the case so I created a "regular" folder on the hard drive and copied all of the files over. It appears that the files successfully got copied but the screen display does not look the same as it does when I open my PC iTunes and open a music folder from there.
What is the best way for me to copy the files over so I can then delete them from my PC with the assurity that I will not have done something that I will later regret ... such as rendering these copied files as ones I cannot burn to a disc, etc.

Changing the setting as to where to store media will indeed put the media files (but not the rest of the iTunes library files) on the external drive as long as the user also selects to organize the media to the NAS. If you don't do that, iTunes will only store new media there from that time on.
I would not recommend keeping only media on the NAS. As I said, NAS can have issues with iTunes and some of the longest topics I have seen here are how to rebuild a library after for some reason the library file on the Mac computer has lost the link information to the media files stored on a NAS. Some things such as date added, play count, and ratings are only stored in the library file and may be lost if you have to rebuild your library file.
I guess for me the only iTunes reason for having a NAS would be to do direct sharing of the library rather than having to use Home Sharing. Direct sharing of the library intact requires placing all the iTunes files on the NAS. If you're going to do Home Sharing you might as well opt for a a cheaper, more stable, plain external hard drive.
