Must the LR V5 Catalogue be installed in the HD where the OS X resides?

I just purchased LR V5 - and just finished the first tutorial on creating a catalog.
In this tutorial, the instructor suggests placing the catalog in the user's picture folder because "it is the preferred way", leaving room for the user to guess if it also could be stored in an external device, his/her "preferred way.  I bring this up because  I read on the web a catalog must be created on Mac's HD, as the app does not allow to reside in an external disk; I don't know if the writer of that warning was perhaps alluding to previous LR versions.
This is important to me because I want to relocate all my photos in an external drive, wanting to reclaim storage space on Mac's HD. 
I will appreciate a clarification on this matter, and, if the Catalogue must be established in the HD where the OS X resides, is it possible to physically store the pictures in the external drive, or do the pictures and catalogue reside in the same volume (HD).

Pictures and catalog can reside on an external volume.

    If it is any consolation this started happening to me today. I am in Toronto. I am wondering if there is a copyright issue here. I have done nothing to solve it - mostly because I suspect this has nothing to do with my computer.
    p.s. My speculation about copyright is not correct. Comedy Central plays fine with Google Chrome. Have not yet tested Firefox.

  • When I try to update Firefox it repeatedly says Firefox must be closed to proceed with install. I even get the same message when I try to uninstall the existing version of firefox. How do I close Firefox???

    When I try to update Firefox it repeatedly says Firefox must be closed to proceed with install even tho Firefox is closed. I get the same message when I try to uninstall the existing version of Firefox. How do I close Firefox??? The same thing happens when I try to update other programs. When a program is off what else do I have to do to turn it off??

    If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions or have other problems with updating to update then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

    The iWork Public Beta allowed me to share Keynote presentations with anyone via the web. Now Apple tells me the Public Beta is being replaced by iCloud. How can I share a Keynote presentation online via iCloud? Must the presentation be downloaded to view?

    iCloud is not designed for sharing data with other people: you will need a third-party alternative such as DropBox or Sugarsync.

    Yes, that is correct.
    Did you have the instructions that came with your Airport Extreme?  Are you sure you have it setup properly?  Here is the setup guide:

    Ensure you have everything setup properly.  Once you do this and if you are still having trouble, follow Star's instructions.

  • Why must the number of states on all pages be equal?

    Hi,
    I'm building a complete interactive website in Fireworks CS5 using Master Pages, States and Behaviors for some neat interactivity on the mockup.
    My question is why must the number of states be equal on all pages? I have a Master Page with a simple rollover effect on all the links, but on the Profile page I have a popup where you can insert tags. To create an interactive popup on the Profile page I need a couple of states for that popup on the Profile page. As soon as I add more states to the Profile page it loses the content from the Master Page, even if I tell all the layers in the Master page to "share on all states", when forcing the Profile page get's disconnected from the Master page.
    There has to be a simpler way of doing this!
    Thanks!

    There is no way of doing what you want in Fireworks. It's not an HTML editor and can't generate more than rudimentary interactive objects. To create more sophisticated interactive objects you need have some knowledge of coding and use software like Dreamweaver or Flash.

  • I just installed iOS 7.1 - where is the iTunes Internet radio app?

    I just installed iOS 7.1 - where is the iTunes Internet radio app?

    There is no separate app. It's included in the 'Music' app if Radio is available in your country (only US and Australia at this moment).
    If it is available in your country then open the Music app and select the Radio tab as described on the Apple website. If it is available in your country but don't seem Radio in the Music app then do this.

    Hello vegasmax.
    To temporarily clear the empty ink warning and perform a scan, please hold down the STOP button for 5-7 seconds.  This should allow you to scan.  If the error remains we would have to advise that the cartridge is replaced.
    Please note, the empty cartridge would have to be replaced if you would like to resume printing again.

  • What must the specifications of the wired modem to fully use the capabilities of the AirPort extreme?

    What must the specifications of the wired modem to fully use the capabilities of the AirPort extreme?

    Sorry, but other than providing an Ethernet connection, Apple has not provided any formal documentation on modem specifications that "work" with their AirPort routers. Most Ethernet modems DO work, but not all are supported. Note: Apple states this in the "small print" for any of its routers in the online Apple Store.

  • Installing 9.2.2 where 10.5 already present

    I have an old 1GHz G4 Powerbook which has Leopard installed, and the HDD is not partitioned. I would like to install 9.2.2 also, and I have the original install DVD.
    Assuming that I need to partition the HDD, in order to install 9.2.2, how do I do this without erasing the existing 10.5 installation ?

    Furthermore, your Powerbook can't have USB ports on the left/right side of the keyboard. It must have them in the rear to use Mac OS 9 booting. Depending on its age, you might need the original 9 installer disc that came with the computer. See this article on which Powerbooks can boot into 9 and 10.5:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1379979
    Dates and serial numbers are given below for determining the requirements for Powerbooks. X in the serial number can be any letter or number. Do not quote the serial number to us in the forum. The numbers that are greater naturally are newer than those quoted.
    If yours is among the ones who can run 10.5 and 9, and dates prior to August 21st, 2001 (xx134xxxx), it can use the retail 9.2.1 installer. Later they must the 9 installer that shipped with them. Later than July 31, 2002 (xx231xxxx) must use the restore discs to restore Mac OS 9.

  • Why WINDOWS 8.1 won't install/load on PC where WIN 8 runs Fine ?

    Why WINDOWS 8.1 won't install/load on PC where WIN 8 runs Fine ?
    As far as System Requirements go, they are the same for WIN 8 and WIN 8.1
    Sympton: 
    Windows 8.1 Installation DVD loads for some time, no circle of dots, then PC reboots
    with quick flash of six lines or so of white text (on black backgound) @ 106 seconds
    Needed to use Smart Phone video camera to capture
    Your PC needs to restart.
    Please hold down the power button ...
    Error Code:0x000000C4
    Parameters:
    0x000...91
    0x000... F
    0xFFFFF800699C5A80
    0x00000000000000000
    0x00000000000000001
    Presumably message is intended for frozen PC, hence 'hold down power button'
    In this case it flashes and re-boots
    Windows 8.1 Image loads quickly, flash and reboots PC, having corrupted boot entry
    (thankfully not other entries in Boot Manager situated on Dell System Reserved Partition)
    PC Desktops affected:
    Dimension 5000 - shipped JAN'05
    RAM 4GB
    Intel Pentium 4 640 3.20Ghz 64bit NX enabled
    ATI Radeon HD 6450

    All 8.0 & 8.1 clean Installs and Upgrades on this platform had no problems
    Hope some of you can throw some light on this. What does WIN 8.1 do in the boot
    process that WIN 8 does not?
    And if anybody has encounterd this before...
    Note to multi booters - keep or reinstall Dell or other System Reserved partition (PRI,Active)
    EasyBCD/Windows Boot Manager held on this partition (eg. 350MB)
    If it gets corrupted, you can Restore it, rather than Gigabytes of 1st Primary O/S
    Also, it will solve a lot of problems, when manipulating/adding/backing up/restoring O/S's

    Fellow user from St. Louis, Missouri pointed in the right direction. I'm grateful
    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Running upgrade assistant (going to Store rejects CPU, but no details)
    Results in:
    X You can't install Windows 8.1 because your processor doesn't support LAHF/SAHF.
    X You can't install Windows 8.1 because your processor doesn't support PrefetchW.
    There are at least three Processor requirements that M'soft does not list for WIN 8.1
    and it's fairly well documented, if you ask the right question, eg.:
    http://www.pcworld.com/article/2058683/new-windows-8-1-requirements-strand-some-users-on-windows-8.html
    So that's it, exclusion by 'stealth' - at least M'soft told you that processor required NX - Execute Disable Bit
    for Windows 8
    For Intel units, look out for 'VT-x. Have a processor on the way, but will Motherboard pass CMPXCHG16b test?
    AND PrefetchW AND LAHF/SAHF
    Windows 8 support ends 2015, that means people who bought it will have had 2 years use
    WIN 8.1 Upgrade/Update (sic) is free, but costly if it won't run on your machine
    So, those many people who decried Windows 8 and stuck to WIN 7, were right after all
    Early supporters of WIN 8, have been 'betrayed'
    'Minimum Requirement for Processor 1Ghz - don't make me laugh! (Presumably for Phone 8)
    M'soft have a 'more info' link on System Requirements page, so why not spell it out...
    Otherwise it looks like a PR/Cosmetic exersize
