Need for Program Update Retention on Hard Drive?

To anyone who can advise me,
I have the following programs on my computer hard drive that are eating up large chunks of memory. Do I need all of them, none of them, or just the latest version? Thank you for your help in advance.

Each version is independent and stands alone. You only need to retain those which programs require. Java programs can be written to require a specific version. If after uninstalling a version, a Java program will not run, that is probably the cause.
Also, please do not post your questions in duplicate!

I interrupted a software update and my macbook pro will not boot. I have tried to reboot using the startup disc, I have tried to verify the disc, and repair the disc. It tells me I need to erase and reformat the hard drive then reinstall the operating sys

I interrupted a software update and my macbook pro will not boot. I have tried to reboot using the startup disc, I have tried to verify the disc, and repair the disc. It tells me I need to erase and reformat the hard drive then reinstall the operating system. I do not have a back up of all my applications, my garageband music and other things. I also do not have time capsule set up on this machine, but I do have a 2 TB time capsule.
Is there anyway to back up this corrupted drive so I can restore my applications later?

There's an old saying. If you don't have a backup disc, then there must be nothing important to backup. That's just lesson #1. Lesson #2 is to never interrupt a software update. Not a good thing.
OK, I'm sure you know this. It just upsets me to read your story, knowing you have a lot of important stuff on your hard drive, and didn't use time machine.
You're pretty much in a bad place. My only hope for you is to boot to your Installation Disc, then using disk utility see if you can save the internal hard drive (by fixing what can be fixed). You might be able to see your user folder and some of your apps. I wouldn't even consider copying the library, because who knows what's been corrupted in there.
Good luck.

I used up my two downloads for my standard CS5 suite, my backed up program on my external hard drive isn't working. My serial number says it is invalid, what do I do?

I purchased the standard CS5 suite (photoshop, illustrator, in design, bridge) student package for my laptop (through a download process, not dvd, in which I had two downloads). I used my first one, that followed with my hard drive crashing. I used my second download, and then I had an accident with my laptop and had to purchase a new one. I backed up all of my programs onto an external hard drive and I just tried to re download adobe programs using that. When i enter my serial number it says it is invalid. What can I do? Live chat will not help me because I do not have the current CS6 or CC.

Double-check your serial number here: Find your serial number quickly
Serial numbers will sometimes become invalidated if they were hacked and made available on the internet.

Need to re-install CS6 on my new computer from copies of the programs on my external hard drive.

Ive owned and used CS6 for 2 years with a copy of all programs on my external hard drive. I now have a new computer and would like to transfer the programs onto it from my hard drive but am unable to. I just get the message:
Please uninstall and reinstall the product.
If this problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.
Error: 16
Please help!

DO as it says - reinstall properly.

I can't find my Install DVD. Do I need it for when i do a Hard Drive upgrade?

I'm trying a DYI project. I can't find my Install CD (or DVD). Will i need it after installing a larger Hard Drive? I have my computer backed up to Time Machine.

Only if you want to install a fresh system. If your current setup is ok and fine with you, can save a lot of time and having to pay for an installer replacement by cloning your current boot volume onto the new and bigger drive.
You will need to get an external case. Quickest is Firewire, USB can do with a bit more time.
Install the new drive in the case, connect to Mac. Use Disk Utility to repartition it to GUID scheme and reformat to Apple Extended (Journaled) format. It will probably come as MBR/NTFS for use in Windoze. Then use Disk Utility's Restore tab to "restore" the internal Macintosh HD volume onto the external blank disk. Test that all is well by booting it up (press Option prior to the startup chime). If all is well exchange the drives and be happy.

Need advice on purchasing an external hard drive for video editing

Hi,
I looking for advice on which external hard drive to get. The main purpose for the hard drive will be storing video files on for use with Final Cut Pro. I have the 12 inch powerbook G4 so I plan to use the FireWire (400) port to connect the drive. I'm interested in getting comment from others who use their external hard drives for video editing.
Thanks!

Firstly your decision to use FireWire is a good one, as not only will it free up the USB it performs much better on sustained transfers.
That said you're still limited by the FireWire interface, so opt for a drive with a big cache (16MB would be good) and fast spindle speed (7200rpm+).
Some of the newer enclosures are compatible with SATA drives. While these are easier to install and theoretically will perform better, I'm not sure that the performance would justify the extra cost.

Move program file to external hard drive?

Good morning group,
I am currently working with my 2002 PowerBook G4 12", 867MHz, 40GB, 1.25 RAM, running Tiger OSX 10.4
I recenly purchased a Leopard 10.5 install disc and want to reboot my laptop to Leopard. I also purchased Microsoft Office 2008 suite, but cannot find my install disc.
My goal is to transfer data like my ITunes library, documents and Office program to an external hard drive, delete any remaining content from the laptop hard drive, then install Leopard onto the laptop and re-install the data and programs from the external drive.
Since i am reasonably intelligent but not overly computer savvy, this seems like a doable event. My question is how do I accomplish this task? i guess that I am looking for a step-by-step assistance, but do not want anyone to reinvent the wheel; prior to this post, I attempted to search this forum for a solution, but to no avail. Any assistance would be appreciated. As it currently stands, I cannot even use my IPhone with this computer due to Tiger program limitations, and I do not want to lose Office.
Thanks in advance, Chardagha

Get your new hard drive and mount it in a housing that connects to your PB with a Firewire cable. When an external HD is connected via Firewire it is bootable from your PowerBook.
After you connect the external HD, use Disk Utility on your PB to format the HD to Journaled HFS+. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner app to clone your PB HD to the external HD. Then boot the external HD to make sure everything transfered OK. Then you can wipe the PB's HD and install Leopard on it. Then you can use Carbon Copy Cloner to transfer your files from the external HD to the PB HD
In lieu of M$ Office you can use the freeware NeoOffice. http://download.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php
NeoOffice is equivalent to Microsoft Office. It can open Excel files, Word files & PowerPoint files. You can also create these types of files that can be opened by PC users.

Your firmware can not be updated because the hard drive...SMC 1.3

Hi all !
I have a problem. I'm have a macbook pro Santa Rosa =
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP41.00C1.B03
SMC Version (system): 1.27f1
This morning I saw the update for the SMC firmware (1.3).
Before restarting, I have this error :
http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/6606/26048579.jpg
Your firmware can not be updated because the hard drive partition scheme may not be supported. You must be booted from a GUID partiton or RAID scheme.
When I went into Disk Utility in order to check, here is what I have =
Name : FUJITSU MHY2200BH Media
Type : Disk
Partition Map Scheme : GUID Partition Table
Disk Identifier : disk0
Media Name : FUJITSU MHY2200BH Media
Media Type : Generic

Total Capacity : 186.3 GB (200,049,647,616 Bytes)
S.M.A.R.T. Status : Verified
Disk Number : 0
Partition Number : 0
I thought Boot Camp could be involved becauseI know it's the only thing related to the EFI.
I searched on internet, and Ifound nothing. There was a solution in order to reset the partition table, but the tool is no longer available. The link on on the application explains that I have to reformat my macbook pro. I find a bit weird to make this , I can't spend hours for backup / restore just because the SMC update does not work. have you any lead for me ?
Thanks ,

Have you tried this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Why do I need a bootable copy of my hard drive?

A little while ago I got a little too enthusiastic about reclaiming space on the drive and mistakenly deleted my Receipts folder. So far the eMac is fine, but I've been advised I should perform an archive and reinstall of the system, and, just in case, to make a bootable backup of my hard drive first, and to buy an external hard drive that could make such a copy.
My question is why I need a bootable copy of the hard drive. I'm a light user (internet, Quicken, no video games, movies or graphics processing), and after deleting duplicate mp3 files, unused printer drivers, stripping unneeded languages from programs, and cleaning out those un-deleted files left after deleting programs, I'm down to 13G used on my 40G hard drive (and the old beast just whizzes around). I can save that much stuff on my (new) 16G USB drive, which won't be bootable. So, why should I worry about bootability?

You know, I think you're right. I'm marking this solved because you just validated my thought. My to-do list is long enough without hovering over a hard drive for a couple of evenings and hoping and praying I do things right.
The Apple store is open today, but I think I'll wait until tomorrow and toddle over to our local Mac reseller (buy local-ish!) and pick up something that's plug-n-play. And, even though I've only got a 40G drive, and about 20G to back up, I'll probably end up buying something bigger (and partition a small volume for my backup) so that when I finally do buy a new computer I'll already have a backup drive.

How do i not have my photoshop linked to my macintosh hard drive because it slows down the program by using my hard drive space

how do i not have my photoshop linked to my macintosh hard drive because it slows down the program by using my hard drive space

Which version of mac os x and photoshop are you using?
How much free space is on your hard drive?
How much ram do you have?
Photoshop needs to use your hard drive for scratch space.
If you have more than one hard drive (not partition), you can assign photoshop's scratch disk to another hard drive.

How can I use Time Capsule for backups and an external hard drive?

I have a large file/program on my iMacs hard drive that is 62GB and I would like to keep only things I need on my iMac. I have a 2tb time capsule currently used for backing up. It has roughly 1.66 TB free. How can I move the 62GB program onto my Time Capsule and still use it for backups? Also, is this stable? And don't worry about backing the program up because it came on 8DVD discs.
Thanks.

1. Mount the Time Capsule as a drive and drag the application over to it. If the application requires system components, those won't be transferred; if those are only data files, you may be able to drag them over as well and then create a symlink or alias to a folder enclosing their current location.
2. The application may work slowly if this is done. Note that Time Machine will eventually use up all the free space on the Time Capsule that isn't reserved by being allocated to a disk image.

My MacBook Pro hard drive is almost full and I wish to store my Aperture Library on an external drive, how do I do this and is the use of USB2 suitable or do I need to use a Firewire external hard drive?

My MacBook Pro hard drive is almost full and I wish to store my Aperture Library on an external drive, how do I do this and is the use of USB2 suitable or do I need to use a Firewire external hard drive?

You'll get better performance if you use a Firewire hard drive (especially if you buy a 7200 RPM drive). Firewire's IO speed is significantly faster than USB 2. USB 2 has a theoretical max speed of 480 Mbps except that it has extremely high over-head. The fastest speeds you can typically get are about 300 Mbps. Firewire, on the other hand, has very little overhead. The fastest speeds you can get are very nearly 800 Mbps. You will typically be constrained by the maximum read/write speed of the drive, not the speed of the I/O on the Firewire bus. Now if you had one of those nice shiny new Macs with the Thunderbolt I/O and a Thunderbolt drive (Light Peak) ... I think they alter space and time so that your data arrives before you know you want it.
Also... unless you want to buy a solid state drive (very expensive), try to keep your hard drives from becoming much more than about 60% full if you want great performance. A nearly "full" hard drive is, on average, only about half as fast as the same hard drive when nearly empty.
USB 2 will work perfectly fine... just not as fast.
Also... it's much safer to move the entire Aperture library than to "relocate masters". Your images must be managed. You can Aperture manage them, or you can manage them. But someone has to manage them. If you "relocate" them so that they are no longer stored inside the Aperture library then you'll need to work out a system of how you decide to organize things and it's critically important that you don't start moving files around or deleting things without Aperture's knowledge. If you do, you'll break the links to your masters and start having problems with missing masters. If you have Aperture manage the library then you don't need to worry about any of that stuff.... it's safer.
Do make backups (use the Aperture Vault or use some other backup program, but make sure you back up your work if you care about it.) There are only two kinds of hard drives in the world: (1) those that have failed and (2) those that are going to fail. There are no exceptions to this rule. Hard drives are cheap. Backup software is built into Aperture and into your Mac.
