Mbp installing additional harddrive

Hi,
I am using a Macbook Pro and I'm noticing that I am very quickly losing disk space on my 80gb hard drive. I am really hoping there is somewhere I can take my computer and have an additional harddrive installed. I would love to be able to have a 200gb drive for all my documents and use my 80gb for OS and applications and things like that. Do you think this will be possible? I am not confident about opening my MBP up and trying to do it myself, I have paid too much for this computer. Its not a hobby PC computer that you have when growing up and dont care if it stops working
Thanks,
Scott

Yea I thought that might be an option (taking it to a apple store) and upgrading the harddrive. Is there a Macbook Pro limit on the size you can get for a HD, and are Apple HD's more expensive than third party ones? Also, do you know if it'd be possible to transfer my existing HD all over onto a new one (say 160gb) and keep all documents and applications (mainly because I am lazy and would like to avoid installing all my software again + their are limited installs allowed on programs like Adobe Creative Suite CS2 Education Edition)
I'm avoiding a external HD because I dont want to have to carry it with me everywhere + I already use my firewire port for a Mixer when recording music.

    Download and install VLC Player. It plays more formats and is free and highly regarded.

    Free VLC player for the Mac, check out the Icecast Radio Directory also
    http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
    And if it's copy protected then
    http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/
    If anyone is running 10.8. or later, then they might have to right or control click on the installer or app to "Open" to bypass Gatekeeper controls at least once, then it learns it's a ok to be trusted program.

  • An error occurred during the installation process: error occurred while installing additional adobe

    I get this message: An error occurred during the installation process: error occurred while installing additional adobe packages. when trying to install CS2 InDesign UPGRADE from id 2 on new IMAC 2.4 GHz 4 GB. 

Any one else with same issue?

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

  • Installing additional Windows 8 on the second, non system, hard drive

    GE60 2QE Apache Pro (128GB SSD System + 1TB 7200rpm Data)
    1 May i create a bootable primary partition on the 1TB hard disk
      and install additional Windows 8.1 on it ?
    2 Will it affect MSI's System Recovery in any way ?
    3 Would it affect the original windows 8.1 installed on the SSD ?
    4 Should i set/tweak anything in the BIOS for the installation ?
    5 Am i asking the right and/or the whole questions ?
    6 Am i missing something ?
    Thanks

    The following answers are based on my past experience, but I personally didn't set up dual systems before. So they're just for your reference.
    1. Yes.
    2. No. The MSI's system recovery image is in the hidden partition. Unless you delete that partition, installing new OS won't touch it.
    3. Yes, because you are about to install dual copies of Win 8.1.
    4. No need to set anything in BIOS.
    5. Can't answer.
    6. Won't know until you actually start this project.

  • Install additional ICC Profiles

    I cannot find how to install ICC profiles other than the provided defaults of ProPhoto, Adobe RGB and Adobe sRGB. Can someone please tell me how to install additional ICC profiles.
    Thank you,
    Jim Palik

    The Camera Calibration profiles (Adobe Standard, Camera Neutral, etc) are camera profiles developed by Adobe through their internal camera-calibration process for each new camera.  You can make your own Camera Calibration profiles with the DNG Profile Editor and a X-Rite Color Checker standard color target. 
    The ICC profiles installed on your system are output profiles developed by mostly others that are not related to your camera.  The internal profile LR uses for processing is a variant of the large ProPhotoRGB profile with a different gamma.  LR is not like Photoshop where you can change the work space profile if that’s what you mean.

  • After Effects was unable to install additional file formats and effects

    ... Please reinstall from the original installer with a serial number."
    The title and first line of this post are the error I receive when I open After Effects CS3. All of the CC effects are missing, as well as content for Encore, which is also part of Master Collection (the suite I have), so it must be an Master Collection error. Does anyone know where I can get the addtional content and the installer?

    The cached files would be in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers in one of the directories with the funny cryptic numbers as their name. Since the archives are protected by the install key, you will have no way to extract the files manually, though. I tend to think that it is indeed the MC trial that is giving you troubles. Did you run the CS4 Clean Script when you uninstalled it? If not, that might explain it, even more so when the trial timed out. Certain features will then be locked forever after, unfortunately. Only uninstalling, running the clean script and then reinstalling with the serial will give you the full features then. Also download the manual update packages for After Effects, Premiere Pro, Encore and Adobe Media Encoder from the Download section. Installing those may also fix that problem since it should make the apps install additional MPEG support. As another option, you might try to create a new user account with administrator rights and launch AE. Sometimes this also works, since it creates a new user branch in your registry and just ignores existing info for some stuff which may make the post-install install kick in and finish its work.

    A small update to this issue....
    I have been trawling the forums to find an answer but to no avail...
    And... I've tried exporting and bouncing individual stems and the full session, either by muting all bar the stem or soloing the stem.....and still nothing.
    Same problems.....everything is audible in audition but nothing plays on playback.
    Since the 'prelisten' channel strip is Solo safe this would indicate that you have a track or channel strip soloed somewhere else, out of sight. Are the Mute buttons on your channel strips blinking?

  • How to install Additional Software Units or Usage Types in an Existing SAP

    Hi.
    We have a Netweaver 7.0 EPH1 with JAVA, EP and EPC intallation,but i need install additional usage type BI JAVA and NWDI.
    Copy the downloaded SCAs in /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in and when execute JSPM - option Additional usage type installation,  this not show usages type .
    according to the installation guide, this is the procedure.
    please help me.
    Thanks very much.
    Regards,
    Jhon Jairo

    Hi,
    Once you have correctly extracted and put the files in /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in, you need to run JSPM and select the option of additional usage types.
    Next, select the desired stack from the inbox. Click Next.
    JSPM shows the currently installed usage types and those of the new usage types in the stack, which are part of the active product on the system and all of their dependencies are fulfilled. They can have different status:
    Available u2013 the usage type is already active in the system. These usage types are automatically skipped.
    OK u2013 the usage type can be installed on the system. Specify whether to install or skip the usage type in the Action column.
    Revise u2013 the usage type cannot  be installed on this system. Click the Show Details button for more information. These usage types are automatically skipped.
    Not Supported - the usage type is not supported by JSPM.
    Can you tell us what is the status of the usage types visible to you? Are the new usage types having a different status or are they not completely visible at all? If that is the case, you may want to check whether the files that you have downloaded are correct or not and also check whether these are correctly extracted and placed in the right folder.

  • Installing Additional Codecs to Adobe Media Encoder?

    I was wondering if there is a way to install additional codecs to AME CS5.  The one specific codec is MPEG-1 codec. It was taken a couple of revs ago. Any info would be great.

    Jim Simon wrote:

    I'm not sure that's true.
    I had to reinstall Media Encoder CS4 because it had so many more than CS5 which only had 4 formats. Same computer trying to convert the same AVI file.  I'm sure I'm missing something.
