Problems installing CS5 from an external HDD

I'm having issues installing CS5 on to my win 7 laptop.  CS5 was loaded onto my external HDD by the administrator at my workplace; when I attempted to install it, it seemed to be going fine until it asked me to 'insert disk 2' to continue.  I tried to mount the iso image file but the couple of programs I tried didn't allow me to do so.  CLONE DVD2 seemed to be working up to the point of burning the DVD but the file was too big to fit on a DVD.  Can I mount the ISO and open it without burning it, if so, using what software?

IsoBuster, WinRAR, 7zip all can mount or open ISO images. The severity of your problem makes me think that the image is damaged, though, which could even mean that the original DVD was damaged and thus wrong CRC info ended up on the ISO...

  • Restoring iTunes files from an external HDD?

    I recently began receiving S.M.A.R.T. warnings of imminent failure from my hard drive, running XP SP3. I copied my Music folders and iTunes folders to an external drive just before my computer failed. Checked the external drive and everything was there...Audible books, iTunes Audiobooks, music (both purchased and ripped from CDs), TV series and quite a few movies. So I was feeling fairly confident that I had saved my extensive and expensive iTunes multimedia Library.
    Purchased a new hard drive and installed Vista, SP1 64 bit Home Premium on two WD drives striped in RAID 0 without incident, installed iTunes and began the task of moving my collection from the external HDD back to my computer. I used the "Add Folder to Library" choice in iTunes as my preferences were set to manage my manually manage my downloads.
    All went well and after quite awhile I had most of my collection moved into iTunes on the new hard drive. Then the rot set in. I disconnected and removed the external hard drive and settled down to play some music. Instead of music, I received an error message. An exclamation point appeared in front of the track I wanted to play and the message in a box said, "The song (title inserted) could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to try to locate it?" I hit cancel and tried several other titles until it sunk in that while the titles appear in iTunes, they won't play. Also much of the information in "Get Info" is grayed out, however, the size and type of the file is displayed along with bit rate and sample rate, but no music will play.
    Next, I reattached my external hard drive where I had stored the files before the hard drive failure and magically, every single song, book and movie played perfectly.
    So...I need some help in how to move not only the titles but the content from the external drive to the new install of iTunes. First post, I hope I'm in the right forum. If not, please direct me there. Thanks and all the best, Daisy

    I did not rear all but the "add to library" is where the problem resides. You should have just copied your files to the hard drive (assuming this is the SOURCE you want itunes to point at) then use "add to library.

  • How to install Leopard from an external DVD reader?

    Hi,
    I've bought Leopard today. unfortunately, it's not yet installed on my PowerBook. As my SuperDrive is dead, I use now an external DVD (Lacie Portable DVD-RW), but it doesn't work. I can read the Leopard install DVD, but when it reboot, it reboot on my current installation.
    I've tried the following during the boot sequence:
    - alt pressed, but I can only see my main HDD
    - c pressed, but I boot on my current installation
    Can you tell me if it is possible to install Leopard from an external DVD, and how can I do that ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Emmanuel Di Pretoro

    Can you tell me if the same problem occur with a FireWire external DVD ?
    It does not occur on your model of Mac.

  • Is it possible to boot to a Windows 7 install DVD from an external USB drive on current iMacs?

    On the iMac I'm currently using, a mid-2007 24-inch, it's impossible to boot into a Windows install DVD from an external drive: I can hold down option on boot, and all my hard drives come up, but if the Windows disc is in my external DVD drive, it won't show up. I'll soon be upgrading to a late 2012 iMac, and I'd like to be able to install Windows 7 for a boot camp partition. Since that iMac has no built in drive, I'd like to know if using an external DVD drive will work on that model. I'd like to do that, seems easier than messing around with disk images. But we'll see...

    You can use an external optical drive to install Windows without any problem with a Late 2012 iMac.
    The reason that you couldn't install Windows from an external optical drive on the 2007 iMac is that it has got an internal SuperDrive, so Apple only allows you to use it to install Windows on your iMac

  • How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?

    How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?
    I used to store my pictures on an external hard drive using the latest version of Aperture. Now I tried migrating my Aperture library to Photos. However, after a short moment an error message popped up telling me that "Photos was unable to make a copy of your library before preparing it. Photos does not have the necessary permissions...".
    My external HDD doesn't need any permission repairs nor is the system prohibited to read from or write to it.
    Thanks for any advice in advance!

    My guess is that the encryption is the problem for the new app.

  • Itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?

    ive recently updated, itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?if i transfer the movies from the external to the laptop they will add to the library without any problem so theres no issue with the laptop but when i go to add file in itunes i can path to the external but as soon as i select the file nothing happens, just goes back to itunes

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • 2011 MBP MC700 13" cann't install win7 from  an external usb CD/DVD ROM

    My new 2011 MBP MC700 13" cann't install win7 from an external usb CD/DVD ROM,WHY?

    Yes, very annoying. Not unworkable though. We've a bucket load of different external devices too, tried all of them.
    It's not common to one OS either - can't boot OSX DVD, Ubuntu, Win7.... Only way I can is via the internal SuperDrive when it's actually internal.
    Even tried it with just 1 x Hard Disk & an External USB. No joy.
    Obviously not annoying enough for me to try and find a solution I just work around it now. Interesting it's been the same on my last three MBPs though - no problem on both the Air's I've owned.

  • What is the best way to run/install games onto an external HDD?

    I would like to either install Windows on another partition on my 256GB SSD on the new rMBP and run games off an external, or install Windows on an external and games as well. What would be the most efficient (price wise) way to do this without having to sacrifice speed? I was thinking I could use an external thunderbolt hard drive, but it seems like they are all over $300 and over 1TB. I would only really need around 500GB with preferably 7200RPM speeds. Would USB 3.0 be fast enough or would I need to use thunderbolt? I prefer not to have to install 30GB games on the Windows partition on a small 256GB SSD, though I guess I could uninstall and reinstall them as I need (but does this wear down the SSD write speeds over time?) I couldn't get myself to pay another $600 to get a 512GB SSD logic board on the rMBP.
    Thanks for any help. If there are alternative solutions for running games on an external feel free to recommend them.

    If it is possible to install Windows on an external HDD without Bootcamp, then I'd be fine with that. The only problem I see with that is installing the necessary boot files, but it seems like it could be possible to do it manually. I've never done it before though.
    Running programs off an external should be fine so long as they don't have to access Windows OS files directly (supposing Windows was installed on the internal SSD), no?

  • Can I boot a Windows OS on my iMac from an external HDD?

    I have two hard disk drives:
    One is inside of my 2009 iMac, running leopard. Also on my internal drive is a Windows OS partition, currently running windows 7. One is a WD 1TB external HDD, which I boot Mountain Lion off of. The thing is, I'm running out of room on my internal hard disk drive. Since it is entirely possible to boot Mountain Lion from my external HDD, would it be a good bet that I can make my iMac do the same for a Windows OS? Or is this not the case?

    Microsoft does not allow a installation of any version of Windows on an EHD. This is not an OS X or iMac issue,it's strictly with MS Windows.
    However, some people have developed hacks to make installing Windows on an EHD possible, the keyword is hacks so you are left on your own to find out how to do it and support it.
    Sorry for the discouraging news but unfortunately that's how it is.
    As a work around I'd recommend moving large libraries to another EHD, examples of large libraries are iTunes, iMovie & iPhoto. Apple provides instructions on how to do this, you can find them at:
    iTunes: How to move the library to an EHD
    iMovie: How to move the Library to an EHD
    iPhoto: How to move the Library to an EHD
    If you make these moves then you can do a standard installation of Windows on your iMac using either Boot Camp or virtualization software such as Parallels or Fusion.

  • How do I start up from an external HDD?

    My G4 crashed last night, so I need to start up from my external HDD which has the OS installed on it too, to repair my normal Internal start up drive.
    I've forgotten how though and I need some important files within the next half hour.
    If anyone knows how, please let me know ASAP.
    Thanks.

    Hi Merc
    First of all, let me caution you that drive/data recovery and urgent access to your files are pretty much mutually exclusive. If your data can be recovered, you'll need to exercise patience.
    Second, do you have a backup of your valuable data? If so, how old is it, and how much effort would it be to bring it up to current status?
    If you don't have a backup, let me recommend that you set one up as soon as this process is done.
    So, first, run Disk Utility either from the secondary drive (an OS X volume, I assume?) or from your install CDs. (Running it from the drive will be a bit faster.) If Disk Utility is able to see your primary volume, run Repair Disk on it and see if that corrects the issue.
    If that doesn't work, my next recommendation would be to purchase and run DiskWarrior. You can get a download as soon as you purchase it, and run it from your secondary drive. If your drive issue is a corrupted directory (very common), DiskWarrior will attempt to repair it. This program is a great investment, and I'd recommend it for almost any Mac user.
    If your drive issue is physical (ie, it's dead, and no software can recover it), there's not much you can do at home, but a specialised data recovery service may be able to help you.
    Good luck!
    Matt

  • I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

    I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD that a used with my PC but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

    No, unfortunately, when you format a drive, it will erase all the contents. So you will need to find a temporary "storage" place to put the stuff using a PC so you have access to it. Then reformat using Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). If only using with mac, format Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use GUID Partition scheme under Partitions/Options. After formatting, you can drag the files back.

  • I've mistakenly deleted Time Machine backups from my external HDD. How do I fix this?!

    I manually deleted several Time Machine backups from my external HDD. Whenever I attempt to empty trash, it states (error code -22) has occurred. How do I fix my predicament?
    I understand (now) that I should never do this and ONLY delete from the Time Machine app itself but I did not assume this would be so complex by taking a blind stab at it. How do I either a) place the Time Machine backups where the originated (Put Back is not an option when right-clicked) or b) successfully delete these so I can clear my bin.
    I am running Mac OS 10.10 on a 13" MacBook Air (mid-2013) w/ 4GB of RAM and 128GB SSD. My external drive is a 5400 RPM WD USB 2.0 External Hard Drive.
