Windows on internal SSD Bootcamp but can't install programs on internal HDD?
I have a Macbook Pro with an interal SSD and internal HDD. The Mac OS is installed on the SSD and Windows is on a bootcamp partition on the SSD but I can't seem to write anything to the HDD when I'm in Windows. What can I do to get around this?
I only use the HDD to store important files such as music, pictures, documents and other miscellaneous files as backup in the case my SSD fails but I also wish to install Windows progams onto it because I only really need the SSD for the OS and programs that continually fetch data.
While I'm here, is it possible for me to install Mac OS apps/programs on the HDD? And is it possible for me to do it simultaneously with the Windows programs (perhaps in a different directory)?
Use ext FAT. Both can read and write to it.
Or... you can try a product like these, but I have no experience on whether they're any good or not.

Hi, I'm unable to use my speaker when I'm using Mac OS, which means I'm unable to unmute, decrease or increase the volume. However, I'm able to do so for Windows 7 OS on Bootcamp. Can anyone please advise on how to rectify this problem? I would greatly appreciate your help, thank you.
Hi Zac, sorry to hear about your troubles, but that's why us other users are here to try to help in these instances.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this connection drop happens. -

Download and installation help for Adobe links
Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages. They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3. If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'.

PS downloads uploads for my CS5 (fully licensed) but "can't install" - offers no explanation. Help appreciated. Greg
32 versus 64 doesn't make a difference.
"I've seen similar issues on httP://feedback.photoshop.com You should maybe post there to report the bug."
Thanks. I searched there and found what might be a workaround. I think this is simply a bug in CS5. If (as indicated in posts revealed by searching the forum you linked me to) I temporarily change Printer Manages Color to Photoshop Manages Color in the PS window, I can then access Print Settings again to make changes, Save and then change Photoshop Manages Color back to Printer Manages Color.
Go figure.
Thanks a lot for the help.
What I don't understand is why everyone isn't experiencing the same issue. -

Running iTunes 10.7 on Mac OS X 10.8.2. Downloaded but can't install iTunes 11.0.2. Why not, how can I & should I?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The latest iTunes version is 11.0.1 version. 11.0.2 does not exist. Have you tried opening Apple menu > Software Update and install iTunes 11.0.1? If it doesn't show up, you have already iTunes 11.0.1 -
Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on an older laptop. This is a one time user program, is there a code that can be put in or a small fee to pay to be able to use the program again. Never installed the video editing and hoping this can be installed with no problem.
If the laptop is still connected Launch Elements in Expert Mode. Go to the help menu and sign-out. That will deactivate usage on the laptop.

Have 10.4.11; bought Quickbooks and it wants 10.6; upgraded to 10.6 but can't install because it won't open without 10.5. Don't see upgrade for 10.5 in download list.
Hi Loraine,
Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) was between Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). If your Quickbooks program indicates it requires Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and you've installed that, then you've done what you can (you can't install 10.5 when you already have 10.6 installed...you are already more up to date).
It sounds like you are having an issue with the Quickbooks program so you may wish to contact those that make / support that application.
Cheers. -
I have paid my subscription for Adobe Acrobat Pro but can not install it… I always get an error message …also I did not receive any instalation code...
With the subscription you sign in with your Adobe ID that you used to order the subscription. By installation code, I assume you mean serial number. You do not get one with the subscription, but use your Adobe ID.

Then I get a nes screen with message:

I have license for photoshop CS5 extended for windows , I have switched to mac , can I install the same license copy on mac ?
Unfortunately, no. the CS programs are platform specific. You have three options. Upgrade to CS6 and request a platform swap, in which case you will give up the Windows serial number. Second, you could buy a second serial number for Mac outright. Third, you can buy the subscription to Photoshop CC, which can be used on both Windows and Macintosh..
