Needs Ability to Configure AutoSave To Different Drive than Scratch

If you edit a large document with limited memory, and are exercising the Photoshop scratch file, a coincidental auto-save can really slow things down because the drive then begins to thrash.
It would be great if the AutoSave could be configured to go to a separate drive than that selected for the Scratch file.
I mentioned this on a recent Connect session, and I'm putting it here as well. I believe it's something Adobe needs to consider by CS6 release time.
On a system with a sufficient number of separate drives at the point where scratch file activity picks up this could make a HUGE difference - between Photoshop usability and UNUSABILITY.
Possible workaround:
Because Adobe has had the good foresight to use a subfolder, it's possible that the auto-save folder could be redirected to another drive through a file system link. I'll be checking into whether this helps the throughput, as I'm not sure how much the link itself being on the same drive as the scratch files could be a bottleneck.

I have an SSD dedicated for use as a scratch drive. So far I haven't noticed a performance hit with background save active, but I've yet to get into really intensive processing with large images.
Since there are so many different drive and drive bus limitations, it's hard to say that Photoshop would be less bogged down using different drives for scratch and auto save. You may find a dedicated SSD is a real boon to performance as I have.

Install SAP IdM MSSQL on different drive than "C:"

We are in the process of building our IDM systems and want to install the MSSQL DB on a different drive than C:. Has anyone else done this and what changes to the _SqlAuth.vbs & SQL4SAP.vbs (which _SqlAuth.vbs called during installation) are required to facilitate this.
Thanks in advance.

I am not sure what the problem here is.
The MMC files can be installed whereever you want.
Where the DB files are located is controlled by SQL Server.
If you already have the DB on C:\
Just detach, move and attach again.
That should do the trick.

I have an itunes account. However, I need to copy music onto a different iPod than my own. How do I do that? Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for that iPod?

I have an itunes account. However, I need to copy music onto a different iPod than my own. How do I do that? Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for that iPod?

An account means an iTunes Store account which is an online service. Do you mean that, or do you mean a library on a computer?
iOS devices can only be synced to one iTunes library at a time. You can sync that iPod to your account but it will wipe everything currently on it.
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201253 - detailed example: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18860187#18860187
If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.) When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
I could post another 2 pages of stuff trying to cover every possible scenario. It would help if you let us know exactly what you want to do. Are you trying to sync just a few songs (like giving them to a friend which is something iTunes is deliberately set up not to do)?

How do I install to a different drive than C drive? I could not find the option for where to install it.

I use a solid state to boot faster but it is so small that windows needs most of it. How do I install to the drive that I keep my programs on? Where is the option to choose the install location?
Thanks
Chris

Not a direct answer to your question, but... As a "think outside the box" possibility, Crucial MX100 512GB drives are now only about 200 bucks. Check Amazon or Newegg.
Having your programs on the SSD too means they load much faster.

Installing to a different drive than C

All my CC apps are installed under C:\Program Files. When I installed them, I don't remember having the option of installing them someplace other than C: drive. Right now my C: drive is getting very full. How can I uninstall my CC apps from the C: drive and re-install them on a separate internal drive where I have more room?
Robert

I changed the default location, after which cc immediately showed CC is not installed (even though it was obviously still there on the C: drive.
then I used add remove programs to uninstall CC (and CC2014 as it happens)
then I rebooted my PC
then I asked CC to install CC(2014)
it put it on C:
Is there a bug outstanding for this?
Is it likely to get fixed soon? my C: drive is dangrously full.
I suppose I could throw all my toys out of the pram, install windows to D: and then let dumb adobe applications use C, but this would be a long and tedious process, which may well fail for other reasons along the way. (I haven't installed windows on other than C: since windows 2000, and that was not fun either)

Installing office 365 Home edition on a different hard drive than windows (C:\)

Hi everyone.
I recently got an invite from a familymember to install office 365, which is great.
What's not so great is that it is not possible to customize the installation and install office on a different drive than windows.
- I am using Windows 8.1 Pro.
I've done some searching on Google and have heard about a method called click-2-run, which is basically downloading files required to a directory of choice and installing these files. However I need to generate two different xml files to use this method.
I'm know how the xml files are run together with the setup.exe file, but have very limited information about how the syntax in the xml files work.
So my question is: How do I install Office 365 on a different partition than my C-drive?
I have an E-drive with loads of space in which I've made a folder called "Microsoft Office 2015" and placed the essential click-2-run files.
- download.xml
- configuration.xml
- setup.exe
What should these files contain for me to download and install Office 365 on my E-drive?
Best regards,
Zeliax

How to install Acrobat Reader in a different drive?

Hello!,
I was just wondering if anyone out there knows how can I install Acrobat Reader in a different drive than just directly in C:. It goes by default there whenever I try to download it from the site, and there's no option anywhere to choose where it will install the program. I need to change the drive cause my C: is too full and dont have much else to delete from it, but have plenty of space in D:. Is it possible somehow to install the program in a different drive than c:? Please help!
Thanks,
Marcus Bale

Download the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.

Recording to a different drive

Hello,
I've been recording for over a year on my default hard drive - the one Logic is installed on. I just installed an additional new hard drive. Since Logic records projects to the Logic folder, I created one on my new hard drive and also created an Alias of it to put in the default drive. The new projects are recorded to the new drive as planned. Now I'm finding a latency issue while tracking. To remedy it for now I'm turning on Low Latency mode. This works but I would rather not use it (maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this is fine).
I still have an empty Logic folder on the default drive and when I Save As to it I get no latency issue. It only happens when recording to a different drive than Logic is installed on.
I would please love some advise so I don't twist my system into a knot. I have some clients coming in next week and I would like to be on solid ground again - but also use my new drive.
I'm hoping NOT to hear that the only solution is to install Logic on the new drive.
Matt

So, your additional HD is in your Mac Pro, yes?
What sort of drive is it (spin speed etc). It's not a 'green' drive is it? You don't need to alias a project folder back to your boot drive. I have 4 7400 speed (not 'Green') in my Mac Pro and have no issue.
Drive 1: System and Apps (inc Logic, obviously)
Drive 2: Logic Projects
Drive 3: Samples for EXS etc
Drive 4: Backup
You wouldn't want to install Logic on your new drive because you'd have to put a whole system on that drive and boot from it which would defet the object of having a second drive.

Why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory

why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory. I need to install this in a different drive. I prefer to keep the Os drive free of rubbish. Is there an option in an install to allow this to happen?

What is your operating system & version?
If you are on Windows, download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and click 'Change Destination Folder' and the first install panel.

A USB thumb drive with data created in Windows is not showing up on my desktop. Do I need a different driver or something?

A USB thumb drive with data created in Windows is not showing up on my desktop. Do I need a different driver or something?

OK in order to read those files you will need MS Office for Mac or install MS Windows on your Mac. You can get MS Office for Mac from anyone that sells Apple products. I would suggest the Apple Store, Best Buy, Amazon etc...For help getting the data from the memory stick I'd recommend visiting your local Apple Store or AASP and they can help you move it. It should be as simple as plugging the USB drive into your USB port and then open a Finder Window where you will see the drive on the left pane. If you don't know what Finder is or how to open a new Finder window you need the sites I've noted below!!!
Because you are new to OS X I would strongly recommend you bookmark and frequently visit the following web sites:

Moving Configuration Manager Database to a Different Drive

Hello,
Is there a way to move the Configuration Manager database to a different drive in the same machine? We are using Configuration Manager SP1 and SQL Server 2008 R2. We are running out of disk space in drive C: Please advise what would be
the possible solution for this. Thanks so much.
Regards,
Joann

Yes, follow the SQL Server documentation for moving database files.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345483.aspx
In general, I have an easier time when I have stopped the ConfigMgr services and the IIS websites first.
Usually, then I will run the "Relocation for Scheduled Disk Maintenance" procedure.

How to add and configure an additional hard drive.

I will like to know how to install and configure an additional hard drive. I will like to know how to configure the server so the services will start using this additional space. Intel based Xserver. late 2009.
Erik.

Your question is a little vague... "services will start using this additional space..."?
Let's see, where to start.
You don't say how many drives you currently have in your server. If all three drive bays are used then you'll probably need some kind of external array. There are many to choose from.
If you have a spare bay (or two) then you can buy a new drive bay (ADM - Apple Drive Module) (several online vendors still sell them), but you can't just put a bare drive into an empty bay since the blank trays lack the electrical connectors to support a drive.
Once you work out your drive options (internal vs. external, capacity, etc.) you can work out a plan to use them.
The specifics of that will depend on what services you're using. Are you web serving? file serving? home directory serving? or maybe mail? database? something else.
In general, once a drive is attached and initialized (via Disk Utility.app) it's up to you to configure the individual server components to use the space. That typically involves changing some kind of configuration parameter (e.g. httpd.conf for apache, /etc/my.cnf for MySQL, or various options in Server.app for other services) to tell them to use the new volume.
If you want to migrate the entire server to the new drive (e.g. the new drive is larger/faster) then you can clone your existing OS drive to the new drive and just reboot.
So, you see, there are many ways to do this. Everyone's situation will be a little different.

CS5 install on case-sensitive file system - can't choose different drive (Mac OS)

I just upgraded my macbook pro to a new drive and 10.6, and chose 'case sensitive' HFSX, 'cause I'm a heavy command line user and wanted the maximum BASH experience.
I'm trying to install the CS5 demo to try some web design tools, and the installer immediately says "Installation to case-sensitive drives is not supported. Please choose a different drive location to install." So case-sensitive drives aren't supported; crappy but fair enough.
The error message leads me to think that I can just choose a non-case-sensitive drive to install to, but I never get a chance to pick one - I click on the installer and it goes straight to the error message.
So - how do I pick a different drive to install to? Am I just an idoit, is there no way to select a different drive, or will it not install on a system that even BOOTS from a c.s. drive, regardless of the format of the drive that CS5 is installed to?
I called the support number, and the poor fellow on the other end suggested I re-download the demo, and if the new download fails call Apple support to report my 'drive error'.
I'm hoping to avoid an entire backup-reformat-restore and lose CLI compatibility just to try some demo software.
ch

That is part of why I would prefer case sensitive by default.   I know some server packages do the folding for you, same as some web servers do not differentiate between 'htm' and 'html' when people type in requests, but most of the time the backend server is going to be case sensitive and it is not safe to assume (or hope) that the service will fix things. Compensating for mistakes is fine, but allowing such silent corruption is not a terribly laudable things and it encourage people be careless.
Every once in a while I do encounter someone submitting some work where their configuration values and file names do not match, and 'well my laptop silently fixes it for me since it does not care' is a poor excuse. And if I sent broken filenames upstream or even worse commit them to be used on a server, that is a pretty significant professional failure.
Back to Adobe specifically, I have been trying the suggestion on poster mentioned in where one installs the Adobe applications to a case insensitive drive then copy over the installed files. This does not quite work out of the box, but for reasons I would be hard pressed to believe are Apple's fault.
For instance the first error I encounter is the inability of Bridge to load:
"@executable_path/../Frameworks/WRServices.framework/Versions/A/WRServices"
When I go look inside the app directories I can see that in Bridge the file has been named 'awrservices', but in Illustrator it is correctly named AWRServices.   So it looks more like a problem in whatever version control they are using. The only way I can picture (which my adminitialy limited knowledge of what I am sure is a large and complex project with all sorts of legacy issues) that the installer toolchain factors in as a problem is if they have mismatches in their own scripts/packaging and have been depending on HFS's bad behavior to hide the problem. I can understand not wanting to invest the time to pay down the technical debt on such an issue, but having such errors in your configuration causes long term headaches.
And I say this as someone who worked on just such a project, moving a software suite that had legacy code stretching back longer than Adobe has existed as a company. This conversion included moving from a case insenstive filesystem to a case sensitive one and yeah, there were lots of problems that the old FAT32 system hid from us, but it really paid off over the long run to fix them rather than try to twist the code to compensate.
Having said that, if the problem is really that they do not want to go update their filenames (in version control or config files), then you can always add folding to your loaders. I have had to do that a few times due to upstream people developing on case insensitive systems and sending data files with incorrect file names. This is an old class of problem, and while I can empathize with the struggles project managers have trying to get approval for paying down technical debt, the problem never gets better on its own and usually gets worse.
Which is why I responded with so much grump to the 'I never needed it' argument since that is exactly the type of customer comment that marketing tends to point to in order to push such things off the schedule. This is the type of thing where the customer does not really know what they want because they are already accustomed to broken behavior and most of the problems are hidden from their immediate view. It is easy to cover up the limitations since modern UI (and their search capabilities) can handle this.
It is not just arcane developers stuff, and it is the same transition that people have made with things like spaces, quotes, and parentheses, where years ago users believed they had no need for them since they were not using them, but they were only not using them because they did not work.   Today try to tell a modern user they can not put (, ", ) or even ' ' in their filenames and they would rightly question why this piece of obvious functionality is not working since today they are used to it working and no longer automatically compensate for it.
I also find it ironic that by default OSX hides a number of file extensions, so from the user's perspective you can have multiple files with the exact same name displayed to them, so you can get display issues where 'foo' is the same as 'foO' if both have .txt, but 'foo' and 'foO' are not the same if one has .txt while the other is .pdf. Add to this confusion cases like 'foo.txt' and 'foo.pdf" both being shortened to 'foo'.

I have a PC and a need help to configure my external hard disk on my network. Thanks

If you mean you wish to plug a USB drive into the Airport Extreme router (or TC not express) that is easy..
The disk must be formatted FAT32.. as if.. stay away from FAT .. or HFS+ ie Mac OS extended Journaled.
Format the disk on a Mac is best.. and even use GUID partition scheme not MBR.
The PC has no issue writing and reading files because this is a network drive.. The PC does not write to the drive.. it writes files to the Airport OS which writes and reads the disk and passes the info using standard windows SMB.. To the windows computer it will be a Windows NT server.. FAT32 setup.
If your setup is different.. to my hugely guessed assumptions.. give details.. always helps to have.. make and model.
Make and model of disk.. make and model of router.. how the setup will be done.. what windows OS you run.. etc etc.
As it stands your question could have nothing to do with apple at all.. other than you posted in a forum so I guess there is something apple in there somewhere.

How to Install Acrobet Reader 9 on Different Drive

Does someone know how to direct acrobat rader 9 toa different drive when installing? It always defaults to drive C. I want it on drive D. Help!

There are hundreds (if not thousands) of references to registry files in \Windows\System 32 from within Reader. The registry keys likewise point to a program in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader folder.
Unless you are capable and willing to go in and rewrite the code for each and every single reference in every last file of the program so that they reference a registry on a separate drive from the program itself, and vice-versa, you will find that it won't work, and if it does it'll keep crashing, and giving you errors all the time.
There are portable readers which are designed to run without the registry references (like from a Flash drive) but they won't function as well as Reader in every case.
You might want to try running your disk cleanup, defragmenting your C:\ drive, and running a compression to free up file space.
Another thing I like to pass along is a"deep cleaning" Disk Cleanup tool
Disk Cleanup can clear out a lot of old, unused, and junk files from your hard drive. Things that clutter up the drive, and make defragmenting take a lot more time than it should. Here's a neat way to clear up more unused files on your system than Windows™ Disk Cleanup utility will do on it's own:
c:\windows\system32\cleanmgr.exe /dc /sageset: 1
c:
cd \
cd c:\windows\prefetch
del *.* /q
Copy the code above and paste it into a document using Notepad or Wordpad (Do not use Microsoft™ Word™, or Corel™ WordPerfect™). Save the file as "clean.bat" (minus the quotes of course), a Windows™ batch file. To do this click, Save As instead of Save, and choose all files from the File Type drop down menu. Save it to your desktop.
Double click the batch file, and it will open a configuration tool for your Disk Cleanup utility. You will see a lot more checkboxes in the list than your regular Disk Cleanup shows. Check EVERYTHING. Don't worry, these are all files your system doesn't use.
Once you have clicked all the checkboxes, click OK and the window will close. You have now set your Disk Cleanup to thoroughly clean your Hard Drive.
Now we need to go back to the batch file. Right click it, and select Edit. It will open in Notepad or Wordpad, depending on which one you made it in. When it opens, go to the first line, where it reads "sageset", and change it to "sagerun" (again, minus the quotes, of course) and save it. You don't need to choose a destination or file type. Just save it.
Now double click the batch file again, and it will run the Disk Cleanup with your deep cleaning settings.
Copy the batch file to your documents folder and any time you need to run it, just double click it. Now here's another tip that will free up a lot of hard drive space on top of the deep clean.
Also:
If you open the regular Disk Cleanup (Start\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools\Disk Cleanup), when it opens there is a More Options tab at the top of the window. Click the tab, and at the bottom you should see a section referring to System Restore and Shadow Copies (Vista) or System Restore (XP).
Click Clean Up to remove the extra restore points and Shadow Copies of Windows™ that are stored on your hard drive for system restoration. Don't worry, this will only remove all but the most recent restore point.
You should see anywhere from 3.5 to 14 gigs of hard drive space freed up once you do this.
One last thing:
If you have a C:\ and a D:\ drive, the D:\ drive should ideally be used for file storage.
In other words, all of your pictures, movies, documents, saved e-mails, etc., anything that ISN'T a program... should be on this drive to keep your C:\ drive working better:
All of these files opening and closing on the C:\ drive will lead to fragmentation of your C:\ drive and that will eventually cause the whole system to slow down, and could kill your hard drive.
Additionally, you mention that you are low on space on the C:\ drive. That's another bad thing. I've learned over the years that you should never let a working drive (as in one that is running your operating system or even one that holds files you access daily) get below 25% free space. The caching of files as you work on them gets extremely slow if the drive has to jump back and forth between sides of the actual discs to record changes as you make them. This is much less likely when you have 25% or more of the drive free.
Your documents, pictures, music and movies will open from the D:\ drive where software won't always. It's easier to move your files to the D:\ drive to make space than to install a second OS and then reinstall all of your software.
