May 14, 2012

So basically I bought logic pro 9 a while ago when it came out, and I have it in disc-form. I am thinking of getting a macbook air, or the new macbook pro's which have yet to be announced that will probably have no disc drive. How can I get logic pro 9 onto the computer without a disc drive? Is there a way to input a serial on the App Store and just download it without it making me pay?

Mac Pro :: External Hard Disc Drive Transfer - Hdd Need To Be Reformatted?

Jul 25, 2009

I have a 1TB external hard drive I use for backing up my digital camera pics. I have been using it on my parents compaq presario. However I recently made the switch to a Mac and bought a early 2005 Power Mac g5 dual 2.0ghz with osx 10.5 on it. The question I want to know is, if I unplug the drive from the presario and plug it into the back of the g%, will the files show up or does the drive need to be reformatted?

If so i'll just back everything up and reformat it and switch the drive to my computer.

OS X :: External Hard Disc Drive With The Firefox Logo Appears On Desktop?

Jul 19, 2009

I've got OSX on a MacBook Pro and a bunch of programs like Photoshop, After Effects, Illustrator etc. and I'd like them to be accessible in my dock like iPhoto or iMovie.

How do I do this?

BTW, currently, I have Firefox in the dock but when I click on it a box pops up and I have to again click on the Firefox logo for the app to actually open. Then something that looks like an external hard drive with the Firefox logo appears on my Desktop. Why is this happening?

Applications :: Migration Assistant - Update Backup Bootable System Drive Image On External FW Drive

Sep 29, 2009

When I eventually upgrade to Snow Leopard, I'd ideally like to do a fresh install (I did Tiger>Leopard as an upgrade install), but I really don't want to have to go through the hassle of reinstalling all my apps afterwards. So, would the following work as a best-of-both-worlds alternative?

1. Update my backup bootable system drive image on my external FW drive
2. Wipe the drive in my MBP and do a fresh install of SL
3. Use the Migration Assistant to automagically copy all my data and apps over from the backup drive as if I was upgrading from an old Mac to a new one

On paper at least, it looks like it ought to "just work"... but I'm wondering whether or not Migration Assistant will work between a Mac and an external drive, or does it have to be between two actual Macs?

OS X :: System Runs Slower When External Hard Drive On?

Aug 25, 2010

I've been using a LaCie Quadra 2TB Hard drive for a little over a month now.

I've been noticing in that time that whenever I have the HD mounted my system seems to run slower in that it has lots of sporadic hang ups. I get the spinning beachball in all sorts of programs from Safari to Microsoft Word.

I am of course assuming the Hard drive is to blame, so I was wondering:

Can running an external hard drive (for use with Time Machine and general storage) slow a system down (in particular applications)?

The hard drive is a 7200rpm drive and its connected via firewire 800 if that is of any importance.

Applications :: External Hard Drive Set Up To Back Up My System

Sep 19, 2008

I have an Iomega UltraMax 750Gb External Hard Drive set up to back up my MacBook Pro. Time Machine uses this hard drive perfectly with no problems. However whenever I want to use the drive to move files around with XP the drive does not show up in my computer. XP recognizes the connection of the hard drive and shows the name of the hard drive connected to the computer when you look at the USB BUSes but still it is not in My Computer. I have everything up to date. I have even partitioned the External Hard Drive so part of it wasn't even touched by Time Machine. Is this a problem with Time Machine formatting my external hard drive to work only for Mac
