What's the best way to run logic from external hard drive

Logic is designed to run from your Applications folder. I suspect if Logic was moved to an external drive, it might not be able to locate its assets, like loops and libraries.
As long the necessary files are in the correct places on the boot disc, you can run the Logic application itself fom wherever you like. It would not be recommended however, and there would be very little benefit (if any) in doing so.

  • What is the best way to  back up iTunes excluding external hard drive

    *iTunes gives you the option of backing up your library on CDs. It would take me 100s of CDs to back up my library. Is there any other way to back up excluding external hard drive? Can you put music on a DVD and fit more than on a CD? Having just had to reload my whole computer, I would like some advice. I put my iTunes libary on an external hard drive. When I wiped that hard drive clean, it also took out my iTunes on my C drive! I had to buy a program that would save the songs from my iPod and put them back in iTunes.*

  • What's the best way to move a project from my hard drive to someone else's hard drive?

    I've read lots of related discussions concerning problems after copying/importing/whatever, so I want to avoid those.  I have worked on a project since its inception.  It is currently in RoboHelp 8 HTML with several dozen LINKED Word documents and a couple of PDFs.Someone else is about to take over maintenance.  What's the recommended sequence, please?

    Assuming the project is not under any form of source control, simply copy the source to a shared drive and let your colleague know when it is available. Just make sure they copy it to a local drive before they edit anything.

  • What's the best Mac to run Logic Pro 9 and above with no issues

    What's the best Mac to run Logic Pro 9 and above with no issues?

    Any Mac that can happily run OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Logic Pro 9.1.5.....
    Note: Newer Macs cannot run Snow Leopard because SL doesn't provide hardware support for the newer hardware found in these newer Macs....
    Next best combo for newer Macs is Mavericks 10.9.5 and Logic Pro 9.1.8... but it is nowhere near as efficient a combo as the previous one mentioned...

  • What is the best way to backup a 1 Terabyte external USB drive?

    In order to keep my MacBook Air running speedily along and to free up space, I use this strategy to store my iTunes Library on an external USB drive.
    I'm trying to think of the best way to backup a 1 Terabyte external USB drive. I'm told the hardware has a product life of about five years and some say to burn DVD-R discs of it as a backup, but that would require many discs.
    Has anyone explored the viability of using FTP in conjunction with AWS (Amazon Web Services) to backup the iTunes Library to the cloud? Their file storage is quite cheap.
    Any thoughts on the most effective way to backup an external USB drive?
    Thanks!

    For a simple clone use Disk Utility's Restore option:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    Others will suggest using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!.

  • On a 500G MBP running Lion what's the best size to partition a 2T WD external hard drive to for Time Machine? Thankse

    Just picked up a 2T WD external HD for my new MBPro with 500 G drive. Looking to use part of the external drive for Time MAchine. Not sur if I should designate 1T of it or 750G. I'm running Lion. What's the best way to format the external drive. Disk Utility?
    Thanks,
    Dennis

    Ask in Lion: TimeMachine / MacBook Pro even - this is workstation territory
    I would not use the same drive for data and for backups.
    If I had to, I'd make a partition large enough to boot your Mac from though, whether 50-500GB to clone your system. 
    You should still be able to use Lion's Recovery boot mode.
    I don't think there really is much choice in what to format with, unless you want to spend over $100.

  • What's the best way to transfer mp3 files from a thumb drive to an iphone?

    Can itunes be used on a PC?
    Yes.  You are currently in the "iTunes for Windows" Forum.  85% of all iTunes installations on computers are running on Windows.

  • What's the safest way...force eject an external hard drive?

    I have 10.6.8 on  MacBook Pro.  When I try to eject my 1TB external hard drive, I get the error message “one or more programs may be using it.”  When I tried to eject it from Utilities, it said that “it could not be unmounted.”  What’s the safest way to unmount it?  Can I just shut down my laptop and then turn off the external hard drive after the computer is shut down?

    Shutting down should always work, because all programs are terminated and they stop using the disk. But you often don't have to go that far.
    Logging out should also always work, for the same reasons, although the only programs that get terminated are the ones in the user account that is logged out.
    If you don't want to log out, quit any apps you are no longer using.
    Mac Mail is notorious for hanging onto files that have been attached to emails. If you attached a file from an external disk, Mail might not have let it go. Quitting Mail solves this problem.
    The Finder sometimes doesn't let go of files either, like after you do a QuickLook on a file. Normally you can't quit the Finder except using Activity Monitor, so I add the Quit command using a utility like TinkerTool because quitting the Finder definitely helps with some problems.
    Another solution is to upgrade to Lion, because I hear that the message is more specific about telling you exactly which program it is that's still using the disk.

  • What is the best way to remove Logic Pro 9 after installing X?

    That's the question. I did not install all the extra content from the boxed set of Pro 9.
    I read once that removing these pro applications wasn't as simple as just dragging the Application icon to the trash.

    On my Mac Pro where there really are Logic projects I have left it. On a laptop I have no projects and have one copy of Logic for perusing and learning and toying with. It's that laptop I want to remove Logic 9 from.
    Google gets you a list of about 25 things you should manually remove including receipts and god-knows-what.
    A call to Apple yesterday got me an agent who really didn't know and sent me an info article she said would tell me exactly. It literally said to remove the Preferences file. It was a troubleshooting document!
    But after a little frustration on my part she put me on hold. When she came back she said the new one would use resources of the old and so I should only delete the icon of the Application itself. It's only 800 or so MB as compared to the 30 GB or so of the original install. I thought the sounds in X were new and didn't want so many files hanging around.
    But I did only that, I trashed the Application icon only. And it took quite awhile to actually delete with a progress bar going across very slowly. Perhsps it took along many other things. I should have checked the total space remaining before and after.
    But really the question is still unanswered. For instance; Logic Node. Do I need that for X only? I'm sure there are many others. It's crazy Apple's tech faked her way through.

  • Is it possible/what's the best way to run 3 displays from my MBP?

    Hi,
    I just got a new desk with a raised platform. Currently, I have my TV up there for watching movies, etc, that's hooked into my display/thunderbolt port. I'd like to move my TV to the corner of my desk (to be viewable from the whole room), and put 2 monitors up where the TV was, to simulate more of a desktop experience. Is there a simple way to connect 3 displays like this?
    Haven't gotten the monitors yet, and I will probably run my MBP with the lid closed.
    Thanks!

    I've got the new model 15" MB Pro hooked up to the TripleHead2Go DP edition...
    Only using 2 of the 3 outputs though.....  but they are running two Lenovo monitors @ 1920x1200 resolution....  i'd seriously run three of these, but the TripleHead can't take that resolution (rather it's the video card built into the MB)
    the Matrox is seriously a great product, but only if the monitors *match*, different sized monitors won't work, work well anyways

  • What is the best way to store data on a network hard drive using CompactRIO RTOS and Labvew Real time?

    HI!
    I'm starting a project in which I have a low rate stream of data to read in a real time environment. I should store these data on a network hard disk without any PC with standard OS, I just have CompactRIO RTOS. How can I send this data to the network drive? Is it possible to just “write” data like I do for a standard file in LabView?
    Thanks for any help!!

    Il Conte,
    you have to keep in mind that normally the RT OS does not map drives other than the Compact Flash that it has onboard (C:\). There are exceptions such as
    -cFP-20xx which may have additional Flash Drives which can be addressed as D:\ Drive
    -CVS systems with IEEE-1394 interface can write/read to Firewire external Harddrives
    -PXI Controllers booted from a Floppy disk may map the floppy drive as A:\
    One solution to your needings may be to write data to files locally on your onboard CompactFlash and then transfer these files to a network location using FTP, provided the network drive you are pointing to supports FTP.
    Let us know if you need any more help with this,

  • What is the best way to run Sage on a MacBook Pro?

    What is the best way to run Sage on a MacBook Pro?  I am a first time Apple user.

    There's a lot of Sage out thete so fill us in with information. If it runs on Windows then you'll need to create a partition on your mbp using boot camp and install Windows. So what is Sage for you?

  • What is the best way to run windows on my Mac? And What are the pitfalls I should watch for?

    What is the best way to run windows on my Mac?   What are the pitfalls/

    If you need Windows as your main operating system you would be better off buying a Real Windows PC.
    Running windows on a Mac is always a compromise. Whether in a Boot Camp partition or in a Virtual Machine.
    In boot camp you can't easily Re-Partition and or Re-Size the drive it is installed on. You can't use both graphics cards as Apple has limited Windows to use the discrete graphics only, that is if your mac has 2 graphics cards (15" MBPs), which will shorten the battery run time in Windows.
    The trackpad only has limited functions in Windows, less then is available on the Mac side and a real Windows PC.

  • What is the best way to run .exe files on my mac?

    What is the best way to run .exe files on my mac? I need to run some updates for my john deere gps and the downloads i get can only be run on windows.

    There are several options for running Windows software (*.exe files) on a Mac, depending what your program is, how often you use it, and your personal preferences.
    One way that does not require Windows is an open source effort called WINE.  Check out winehq.org.  You may find that that's all you need for your programs.  There is also a commercial effort that has grown from WINE, and you will find info about it on the site mentioned.  These DO NOT require that you have and install Windows.
    If you want to run sessions devoted only to Windows software, and want programs to run as fast as they do on a PC, the Apple's Bootcamp program is useful.  With it you dedicate a partition on your hard disk to windows, and on startup choose to either boot into OS X or Windows.  Each runs without any connection to the other.  This requires you have a copy of the Windows software as well as the applications you want to run. 
    If you want to be able to easily exchange data between your Windows and Mac programs, and skip back and forth between the two, there are several emulators available that run on Mac OS X and create a Windows environment where many Windows programs can operate along side Mac programs.  Parallels and VMwear are two comercial packages available for purchase and Virtual Box is an open source effort available for free.  Google will find all three for you.
    My only experience is with Virtual Box.  It is slow and a bit clunky, but it is free and meets my needs for the very few "just got to have" windows programs I sometimes use.
    Google is your friend on this and can provide a lot more, and better, information than I can.
    Best of luck,
    Ray
