Multiple Installs On The Same Computer

Apple recently started providing printer drivers for Epson's printers, specifically my R1900 and OSX 10.6.8.
They're not good. It's been suggested to me that I should use one of my other internal drives, install an earlier OSX and the Epson OEM drivers.
Problem is, my CS5 install is on one drive (the one with OSX 10.6.8) and I want to print CS5 doc from the other drive with OSX 5.8 installed.
When I try to launch CS5 Pshop, I get an error 6 message, which I'm sure means the CS5 can't access needed resources when I'm running in a different OS.
I know Adobe allows two installs; one on my laptop and one on my tower.
Can I install on another drive in my tower (the drive with the good printer driver and OSX)?
TIA

Seems like you just point the printer to the program you need.
When I'm no propeller head, I believe the printer resources reside on the drive that has the apps on it. And that's the essence of my dilema.
Can't believe, I was on hold with Adobe TS for over thrity minutes when they said the wait time was "5-7 minutes".
Tech support (over the phone) with Adobe has become problematic over the past couple of years.
It wasn't that way in 1986.

  • How do I have multiple accounts on the same computer

    how do I have multiple accounts on the same computer? The idea of ", hold down the option (on a Mac)/ shift (on a PC) key each time you start iTunes" does not seem to work for me. Thanks.

    Create multiple Windows User Profile with each managing his own iTunes account and library.
    To create a user account on Windows 7:
    To open User Accounts, click the Start button , click Control Panel, under 'User Accounts and Family Safety', select Add or Remove User Accounts.
    Click Create a new account.
    Type the name you want to give the user account, click an account type(make sure to give Administrator), and then click Create Account.

  • TS2972 I have multiple libraries on the "same computer" with two different desktops, can't I share between two libraries on the same computer?

    I'm trying to use home sharing to share content between libraries so some of the combined content in a given library, can be synced to an ipad.   Instad of having mulitple computers, i have multiple libraries on the same computer using two desktops.  How do I share within the same computer?

    iTunes must be running for home sharing to work.  There is no way to have home sharing running simultaniously for two users on the same computer.
    Simply add the media files using File > Add File/Folder option in iTunes.

  • I have multiple libraries on the SAME computer.

    I have multiple libraries on the SAME computer. How can I share these libraries? I do not see the SHARED tab when i open iTunes. Where is this tab?

    home sharing works between two or more computers on the same LAN.
    if you're talking about libraries on multiple user accounts on the same computer, peruse how to share music between different accounts on a single computer.
    if you mean you're working with multiple libraries on the same user account, check out PowerTunes or iTunes Library Manager.

  • Scan multiple pages to the same computer file

    How can I scan multiple pages to the same computer file on my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus?  Currently it will only scan each page to a separate computer file.  I scan one document and then when it asks if I want scan another page I say yes and scan it.  However they still go to separate computer files.

  • How do I prevent a user from opening multiple instances on the same computer?

    On the site oldnavyweekly.com there is a .swf that prevents users from opening multiple instances of the site at the same time on the same computer. If you open the site, and try to open it a second time in another window, it won't load. You can't open the site again until the first window is closed. How did they implement this?
    From my analysis it is NOT:
    1. Cookies - The block still takes place if you try opening it in IE and also try opening it in Firefox simultaneously.
    2. Flash Cookies - The block still takes place if I disable flash cookies.
    3. IP Based Block - You are not blocked if you open the site on two separate computers with the same outbound IP address. From my analysis, their server does not assist in the block at all.
    It seems as if their .swf is creating some kind of global system-wide object that can be detected in other instances of the application on the same machine. How did they implement this?
    Thanks!

    you're welcome.
    actually, unless you take an extra step, the first opened swf will close.  if you want the 2nd to close, the initial receiving lc will send a message to sender that causes the sender to close.

  • Can Multiple ipods use the same computer/itunes program

    I recently purchased two ipods for different family members. Can both be used on the same computer. I seem to remember seeing a blurb in the user agreement for itunes that said the program was only for one ipod. Can anyone elaborate?

    When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically three ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
    a) Sharing a single iTunes library
    b) Creating Multiple Libraries in a single user account
    c) Creating multiple user accounts.
    Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
    Sharing a Library and/or User Account
    If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish): Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
    Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page: Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
    Multiple Libraries
    It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
    *Separate User Accounts*
    Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
    I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here: Create A New User Account In Vista

  • "multiple users" on the same computer

    I'd like to access the same project with different users on the same computer.
    Getting the permissions setup for the folders and files was not a problem.
    But ... FCPX is not "seeing" the projects and events created by the other user;
    1) They don't show up in the project window (of the new user) when he boots FCPX
    2) I can't seem to import the projects (their grayed out)
    I need two seperate users to work on a projects using the same computer.
    But I want each user to access the project from their own "user profile"
    Is that do-able?
    If not I would at least like to re-import the same project
    from the other users account/profile.
    I hope that's clear

    Right ...
    In this case, the Projects and Events are NOT in the movies folder of user 1.

    On the same computer.
    You'd think after the permissions are set up, that it would work.
    I can understand that booting the program from users 2's profile
    would leave FCPX unaware of the existence of the projects.
    But there must be some way of re-importing the projects in the user 2's profile ... right?
    There is no re-importing; it should just work. If both users have read/write access to drive, the events and projects should be accessible to FCP X. Are you sure the permissions are ok?
    The easiest way to handle this situation is to check the box for "Ignore ownership on this volume" in the Finder: select the drive, choose Get Info, unlock, check. Of course, then all files in the volume will be fully accessible to any user of this mac, but if there are only 2 users, and you both know what you are doing, it will avoid loads of permission problems.

  • Make library available to multiple users on the same computer

    I want to have the library available to more than one user on the same computer. The "share my music" option doesn't seem to help. I also tried running iTunes as the second user and setting the library file to the one I had created as the first user, but nothing happened. Any suggestions?

  • How to Sync Multiple Iphones on the Same Computer

    Does anyone know how to Sync two different Iphones on the same computer?

    You have given almost no detail/information at all, so ti is hard to say.
    What apps? Are both iphones new? Were they synced with other computers? Same account?
    What is it that you are trying to do?
    The iphone will sync itunes content (music/apps/video) and pics with one and only one computer. If you sync to another it will first eras the content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.
    You can transfer itunes purchases. Authorize the account, do not sync: File>Transfer Purchases

  • Connecting multiple DAQs into the same computer

    Hi, 
    Im working in a project where i wil need to connect more than 300 digital signs with a USB port.
    I was looking for options, and found two that i liked, but i dont know if LabView will have troubles reading all the signs from different DAQs.
    My first option is the USB-6501 (with 24 digital I/O), where Ill start doing the config, but if it works for what im looking for, i was expecting to repeat the same config in a total of 13 DAQs
    My second option was, the High-Density Industrial I/O for USB (96 channels digital), and have in total 3 DAQs with an extra of the USB-6501 to complete my set of signals.
    Can I connect more than one DAQs into the same computer? Meaning that all the DAQs will be working into the same LabView app?

    Those modules are static DIO, so the bandwidth of the USB shouldn't be an issue.  As nyc mentioned, you might run into problems with the current draw on your USB port.  Definitely get an independently powered USB hub.

  • Multiple systems on the same computer

    I have installed CC on both my work and home computers (as allowed with the license).
    However, at home I have both Mac and Bootcamp systems. I mostly use the mac side but rarely need the window side. Sometimes I am under the windows side and need some quick edits in photoshop. It is really a lot of trouble to switch to Mac, make the edits and then switch back to windows again. May I also activate CC on the windows side as well? It is on the same computer and I am the only user of my personal computer.
    Thank you very much.

    Yes, and No
    You may install/activate on a 3rd computer... which will then require you to deactivate on your other computer(s) and then reactivate on those other computer(s) when you want to use them again... ONLY 2 at a time

  • HT1495 Syncing multiple devices on the same computer.

    There are 2 phone and an itouch that get synced to the same iTunes, 2 are under the same apple ID, the other is different. The music is an easy fix on syncing the different devices, but there is an issue with the apps. The apps on the itouch automatically get synced to the phones when plugged into the computer, even though 1 device is under a different apple ID. I can manually uncheck them but that is a pain in the butt. Is there an easier way to do this?? Please help! Thanks!!

    Yes, you can backup multiple devices in DM.  The backups will be separate.  Not sure if they will go to separate folders, though.

  • Confused about synching multiple phones to the same computer with different content: itunes wants to erase everything??

    I have had an i5 for some time, but my partner just bought one to replace her 3GS. We both synch to my itunes, and have been doing so for as long as I can recall. When we got her i5, we backed up her 3GS and reloaded the content into her i5. So far so good. Now, this couple of weeks later, I decided I wanted to put some of the movies, music, etc. that I have on my itunes library on her phone. I had previous installed some of the apps that I have there without trouble. However, when I tell my itunes to put movies (etc) onto her phone, it warns me (upon apply) that this phone has been sync'ed to another itunes, and that I can do what I am asking, but it will erase everything on the phone now! I cancelled this op at this point.
    As far as I know neither of us has sync'ed her phone to any other itunes, although she has probably downloaded stuff directly into the phone using the onboard itunes. Is that what it's warning me about? Is there any way to either pull the content off the phone, or merge the content with what she had locally downloaded? If not, I'm willing to sacrifice the few things that she had locally loaded as long as it's not going to, for example, erase all her photos, and contacts, and everything else as well at the same time!
    This is all rather confusing to me. It's actually rather confusing that one can synch multiple devices with different settings at all, and I'm extremely surprised that it works at all. Can someone clarify what's going on here? What I should/shouldn't do? What I can/can't do?
    Thanks in advance!

    First make sure you have authorised the iTunes computer you are using for all of the associated apple ID's via the Store Menu>Authorise this computer and enter the apple ID and password used on the phone (repeat for as many apple ID's are in use on the phone).
    Then right-click (or Control Click) on the name of the phone and select Transfer Purchases (this can also be found under File>Device>Transfer purchases). This will back up all of the purchases on the device to your computer, then when you sync with the phone it will put them back on even though it has just removed them.
    Its a round about way of doing it but she shouldn't loose anything as long as the computer is authorised for all of the apple ID's used on the phone
