Multiple copies of one Application on different hard drives?

Hi guys --
Ok - I have 2x Hard drives in my G5 (2 physical HD's, not 2 partitions of the same HD). On one HD I have 10.5 Leopard and on the other I have 10.4 Tiger.
My question is this: I have Adobe CS3 installed on my Tiger HD. But when I'm in Leopard, the applications won't start when I try to open them on the Tiger HD. So it looks like I need to install new copies on the Leopard drive right? Would this be ok? To have the CS3 suite twice on the same computer (albeit 2 seperate HDs)?. WOuld you recommend I uninstall them on the Tiger drive first? I'm hoping I wouldnt have to cos it's always a little bit of a pain to uninstall Adobe stuff with all the components etc.
Anybody else have a similar set up? Thanks for any advice!

It's probably all those components that are causing problems. Some applications have everything in one spot and you're fine. Others (like Adobe) put things everywhere and if they aren't exactly where Adobe expects them to be then the application doesn't work. You should, however, be fine with making a second installation of the application.

After downloading music and dragging into iTunes I end up with multiple copies of the album on my hard drive. I do have the "copy files into iTunes library" checked. When I try to erase one of the copies I end up with red ! in iTunes library.

Please Help! After downloading an album and dragging it into itunes I end up having multiple copies of the album on my hard drive. I do have (under Itunes preferences, advanced) copy songs into itunes library "checked". I'm sure this is the reason for the multiple copies. When I try to delete one of the copies of the album and go back to itunes and try playing a song, I get a red exclamtion point next to the song with an error message saying itunes cannot locate file. My questions are, Does Itunes literally make a copy of the song? If so , How do you know which file to delete?

Sony's own entertainment software on the Vaio plays merry **** with iTunes, worse there's no telling when it will kick in.
First head over to the Sony Vaio site and get the update for the software, that will stop it from messing with the iTunes database/library files when you connect your iPod.

With that stopped you can add the music back without fear of this happening again.

Multiple copies of same files in my hard drive

hello:
Somehow I have managed to fill up my hard drive with multiple copies of
the same files. So, these copies are filling up drive space.
Does anyone know of a software that can point out the copies? Something that will make it easier for me to determine that I have copies of the same file and so I can delete the copies.
thanks!!

thanks for the reply.
I have tried Spotlight already.
But it's not a good solution.
First of all, I don't even know which files i have multiple copies of.
And even though I may have files and folders with the same name, I don't know if the contents are identical ....etc.
It's just a mess.

How to print multiple copies on one page ?

How to print multiple copies of one document on one page ?
in coreldraw I used to make the document -for example a business card 5x9 - and when sending to print it automatically placed the number of cards that would fit in my A4 sheet.
how do I make the same operation in Indesign.
thanks

Hi, Peter S.
>I can see that as a shortcut to printing a page of different cards for multiple people, but to do a simple n-up of a single card it seems overly complex to me. What am I missing?
* It's just an alternative to copy/paste and step/repeat.
* For a one-time only use, perhaps it's a little more complex than necessary. But for any future needs, only the content of the data file needs to be changed, either by editing, or by pointing to a new data file. If different cards for multiple people becomes necessary, it's ready to go.

How can I move one years worth of Raw photo files to a different hard drive and perserve the edits

How can I move one years worth of raw photo files to a different hard drive (to manage space) and preserve the develope module edits and still see them in the Library module?

The easiest situation, is where this year's worth of images is grouped physically inside one parent folder (something many people build in from the start, in any case).
If there is a parent folder on disk, but you are not currently seeing that inside LR's Folders panel, you can make this visible to LR by right-clicking on one of the folders which live immediately inside that, and selecting "show parent folder". This gives you a single "handle" by which to manipulate the whole grouping.
Then it is just a matter of moving this parent folder. It's usually as simple as dragging it from one place to another inside LR's Folders panel, however this is a little more difficult when it's a question of another drive which does not yet appear there.
So an alternative method will likely prove more straightforward: physically move the whole year folder into the other drive using your operating system's Explorer/Finder. The folder (and subfolders, and all the contained images) will change with ? icons inside LR, and it all goes "offline". This is because LR's records of where everything is, are known not to currently work (the former location is now not available). But all the edits, thumbnails, keywords, collections etc are still in place because these things are still remembered in the Catalog - and the fullsize previews are still cached also.
Then right-click on the parent folder in LR's Folders (the top folder which shows a "?") and select Update Folder Location. Then browse to the other disk and identify where this folder is now to be found. LR updates all its records and the whole grouping carries on just as before, only using a new storage location for each image concerned.

HOW DO I PRINT MULTIPLE COPIES OF ONE PHOTO ON A SINGLE PAGE?

Since Apple has not made this feature available, I am not able to print multiple copies of a single photo on one page. HELP suggested I download Portraits and Prints which I could use for free. However, I have downloaded this and note that DEMO watermark will appear on all photos unless I purchase the program. Is there a way to print without the DEMO watermark using this program or is there another free program that will allow me to print multiple copies of a single photo on a single page? Please help as I have spent 2 hours on the phone with Apple and it has gotten me no closer to a solution - something I could easily have done on the older versions of I Photo. Thanks!

Sadly, I have no pull down menu when I click on Customize or settings? I am using IPhoto 08 vers. 7.0.1. I was told by Apple HELP that this feature is not yet available, even though the instructions say to do exactly what you have said. But there is no pull down menu and no option to print multiple photos. It says print a single photo and it is clicked and I cannot unclick it. Any help would be appreciated. Do you actually have a pull down menu with Print Multiple Copies of One Photo as an option? What version of IPhoto provides this? Apple seems to think it is not available and it certainly isn't available on my system. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

How can I install an Application on one of my other Hard Drives?

I would like to know how I can install Applications on one of my other hard drives. I find that when I go to install an Application, the main hard drive shows up allowing me to install it. The other hard drives show as unable to install Application. What am I missing? Thanks.

A system is what is missing as the installer looks for a valid folder, and may need to install support files in /Library as well.

I have 2 different MacBooks (owned by 2 people) connected to my Time Capsule. I want to use the Time Capsule to back up both MacBooks separately from each other. Can one person access the hard drive of the other person, on the same Time Capsule?

I have 2 different MacBooks (owned by 2 people) connected to the same Time Capsule over a wifi network. I want to use the Time Capsule to back up both MacBooks separately from each other. Can one person access the hard drive of the other person, on the same Time Capsule? Is there a way to ensure that the files on the 2 laptops are kept private from each other? Thanks!

If someone really wants to do something, it won't take them long to find out how to do it.

Security on a Time Capsule is a bit like installing a lock on a tent. It will keep the honest folks out, but probably not the others.

Move the iBooks library to external/different hard drive?

Hi! Is it possible to move the iBooks library from its default location on the boot drive (where the iBooks-application also resides) to a different hard drive?
Currently all my ebooks and PDF’s are kept in the default „Books“-folder in the home-library on the SSD-boot-drive of my Mac where the iBooks application is also kept by default (path: Users/„username“/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBo oks/Books). Space is getting narrow on my SSD-boot-drive so that I would like to free up approximately 20 GB by moving the entire iBooks library to a second internal HDD-drive of my Mac or to an external USB-drive.
I have not been able to find any instructions on the internet on how to move the iBooks library nor have I been successful in any of my experiments to move the „Books“-folder. What I have tried is the following:
1. I moved the original PDF-files away out of the „Books“-folder to a different drive and placed aliases from these files in the „Books“-folder. The result is that the iBooks-application will simply re-create a full size copy of the original PDF file in the „Books“-folder. I.e. no saving of disk space!
2. I copied the „Books“-folder from its default location in the user library on my internal SSD-boot-drive to a second internal HDD-drive, erased the „Books“-folder at the original location and instead placed a hard link at the original location. I verified that the hard link is working and pointing to the right location on the second drive. The result is that the iBooks-application will not recognize/show any of the PDF-files at the new location. Trying to re-import the missing PDF-files into iBooks results in the message „This book is already in your library. Do you want to replace it with the one you’re adding?“. By clicking on „Yes“ the same message returns infinitely often. I.e. no successes!
3. I repeated the same procedure as described above under 2. using the „iBooks“-folder which encloses the „Books“-folder (along with three other folders) with the same results as before. I.e. no successes!
(path: Users/„username“/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks)
Does anyone know how to successfully move the iBooks library to external/different hard drive?
Does anyone have links to internet discussions about this problem?
Regards BJB

I was in on the Mavericks beta, when iBooks was introduced. You can not believe me if you want but it isn't currently possible to store the iBooks library on external storage at this time. The ebooks must be on the path ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books for iBooks to function properly. Any other method you may find to accomplish what you want will be unapproved and could break at any time.

New OS install on a different hard drive

Hi
First of all, I have a Power Tower Pro 225 with the Newertech G3 processor card.
What I'm trying to do is that I just got the ATTO UL3D SCSI card with two 10K rpm 73GB 68-pin hard drives and I'd like to transfer everything that's in the slow running 2GB 50-pin hard drive to the newer ones. For some reason my Mac is prone to the "finder unexpectedly quit" error. I'm just hoping that it's an old hard drive related error.
In fact, I do have the OS9 CD. What do I need to do in order to reinstall the OS9 to a newer main hard drive without the Mac forcefully restarting from the newer one?
Can I switch back and force between the OS9 with the different hard drives?
Thanks

Hi, synergy2000 -
I did try the Option key but it didn't work.
Many older Macs. including pre-G3 ones (original equipment), can not invoke Startup Manager by holding down Option at the start of booting booting. Reason - since Startup Manager comes up before anything is loaded from a drive, it must be available in the coding of the ROM chip(s) on the logic board. Older machines weren't coded for it.
Is there any other way?
Yes. Use the Startup Disk control panel. Open that control panel, select the volume (and the OS if more than one is on a particular volume, such as both OS 9 and OSX) desired for the next boot, then restart. The machine should boot to that volume.
As noted by Grant, the choice made in Startup Disk will set the boot volume in PRAM, and that choice will remain set in PRAM until it is changed again in Startup Disk. It can also be reset to the internal hard drive on the original bus by resetting (zapping) the PRAM, which resets the PRAM settings to defaults.
Also, how do you duplicate the main hard drive to the second hard drive?
Cloning is not necessary with OS 9. Two ways to do suplicate it -
(1) Open the window for your main hard drive, do a Command-A ("Select All" in Edit menu), then drag the whole collecction over to the icon of the second drive. When that drive's icon highlights (darkens), let go. Finder will copy it all there.
(2) Drag the icon of your main hard drive to the icon of the external drive; when that drive's icon highlights, let go. Finder will copy it there, placing everything into a new folder named the same as the main hard drive. In this case "everything" includes anything left lying around on the Desktop and anything left in the Trash; those items will be placed into new, appropriately named folders inside the folder named the same as the main hard drive.
Once the copying has completed, move the System Folder, Applications (Mac OS 9) folder, Documents folder, and Utilities folder (if it is not in the Applications folder) out of the enclosing folder so they are all at the root level of the drive (visible in the window that opens when you open the drive's icon).
<hr>
In either case, be sure the System Folder is blessed - that it displays the Mac OS glyph superimposed on top of a normal folder icon. Then check in Startup Disk control panel - if the volume you just copied the stuff to is shown, select it and restart, to test/confirm that it is bootable and healthy.
In either case you will probably need to 'fix' one or more aliases. An alias in not much more than an icon and a pathname to the original it represents. When an alias is copied to anywhere, the pathname in it is not corrected. This means that any aliases that had been part of your previous config will still be pointing to the original drive. Fortunately, when you do a Get Info on an alias, there is a button in its Get Info window that allows you to fix its pathname ("Select New Original"). Aliases that may need to be fixed include - one for Sherlock, in the Apple Menu Items folder in System Folder (unless you replaced the one put there by the OS's installer with the app itself); one or more that may be in the Application Support folder in System Folder; and any that you created yourself for your use.

I have over 1000 songs on an old computer and I want to copy them to a new one - I have a hard drive but it seems to only copy my purchased songs - any ideas?

Hi Le Etta,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Take a look at the article below, it provides details and instructions for multiple ways of moving the music from an old computer to a new one.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
Method
Considerations
Home Sharing
The easiest option, as long as your new computer is already connected to the Internet.
External drive
Requires additional hardware but backs up your iTunes library.
Transferring purchases
Fastest, but only moves the content you purchased from the iTunes Store. Also requires an iPhone, iPad, or iPod with the content on it.
Windows Migration Assistant
Works best for migrating from an old PC to a new Mac, and transfers more than iTunes.

Can I store 80 000 pics from different hard drives on iPhoto on a Mac Mini?

I have some 300 GB of photos and short iPhone-videos on a MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and a number of different hard drives. I think I have approximately 80 000 items.
1.   I would love to have all this stored in one single place, can I buy a Mac Mini and just move everything to iPhoto on it?
2.   Can I connect this Mac Mini to my Samsung TV and view the pics there?
3.   Or should I use my Apple TV to connect the Mac Mini to my Samsung TV?
Or does anyone of you suggest any better solutions?

Depends on the options available on your TV.

How to move mail settings to a different hard drive

My OS 10.4.11 startup hard drive was corrupted by the most recent automatic software update (either iTunes or a security update.) I figured out how to boot up from a different hard drive that had OS 10.4.8 on it. But when I access Mail, it has settings for my old ISP. Is there a file or files I can copy from my original startup drive to my current one that will transfer over my ISP access settings, username, stored password, etc? I had a dickens of a time getting the original setting right and don't want to repeat the process. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi David, and a warm welcome to the forums!
The Files/Folder you need are...
First I'd backup your whole Mail folder, by right clicking on it in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place... only the plist is separate.
Move this whole folder...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/
And this file...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

How do i move my iphoto library to a different hard drive

i want to move my iphot library / and photos to a differant hard drive. I have no room on my current hard drive, just way too many photos.

Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
