Re: BootCamp on an External Drive?
On Nov 5, 2019, at 11:57, Edward Elgar <mac@...> wrote:If you have very limited Windows needs, you are probably precisely the person who would be happier with emulation than with Boot Camp. You don¡¯t have access to your Macintosh if you are booting into Windows via Boot Camp, and, my experience with VMware¡®s Fusion for Mac was that It was just as zippy running in ambulation as were many of the PCs I¡¯ve used that run Windows natively in enterprise locations (hospital workstations). And, since Windows was running as a program on my Mac, I had access to all of my other Mac applications at the same time. Hopefully, others will add their own experiences. Jim Robertson |

Thanks for the info. I'm hoping to avoid emulation, as I have very limited needs in the Windows world: really just a couple of photo programs that I really like, and that have not been updated to run on even Mojave, much less Catalina. (That's why I'm still on High Sierra.) E.E. |
Re: group directory

Since you are the main proponent of using the Directory, what are the benefits?? I can only see two, one you can email someone on the list, but not share with the whole group. Two, you can see their image if they added one. The first defeats one of the purpose of being in a group, to share and learn from each other. And that can be done easily enough without the Directory. The second, is great for those that learn or communicate better with visual clues, other than text. It seems that 9 out of 281 members, might like visual clues, or at least there are only 9 member that have posted images, that are willing to share. That is less than 3.5% of the membership.? I have even added an image to my profile in my membership with groups dot io, but did not opt to share my Directory listing, so it is only visible to the owners and mods. If I had known at the time that it had the option to become ?become public, I might have not added the image. So far all I see is "much ado, about nothing.".

I'net Radio app suggestion(s)
Hello Group! Still getting my Group.io legs after decades on yahoo groups.... Anyway,? I just inherited a Late 2009 iMac to replace mine that died. One app I constantly used was Radium for I'net radio stations.? It loads & Lockes up.? It doesn't look to have been updated since March 2013. I am looking for suggestions, for a comparable replacement. TIA Budd |

BootCamp is Apple¡¯s utility to let your Mac boot directly into Windows, without any emulation program (like Parallels or Fusion) in between. It is crafted specifically to create (and ¡°provision¡±) a partition ONLY on the computer¡¯s internal main booting drive.
The big difference between BootCamp and emulation is that the former is an *alternate* way to boot your computer (Mac OR Windows, not both), and the emulators let you run Windows in a window while the Mac is up and running normally (*simultaneous*). I haven¡¯t used those emulation programs for years, myself, but if I recall correctly, they can either be set up to create a virtual hard drive with the alternate OS on it, and boot from that, or to set up an actual drive partition as the alternate OS. The latter would seem to be what you want. <> I can imagine 2 alternatives: a) emulator software lives on the internal drive, and targets an external volume which has all the Windows stuff b) you set up BootCamp in a minimal partition on the internal drive, and that minimal Windows installation uses the full-size external volume as a 2nd (¡°D:¡±) drive. Beyond my suggestions, you would need either to experiment, or to consult someone who is more familiar with the emulator programs. |

BootCamp on an External Drive?
Edward Elgar
I have a 2013 (Trash Can) Mac Pro, (like Dan's, i believe), running 10.13.6.
I would like to use BootCamp to set up a Windows 10 volume, but BC will ONLY show me the internal SSD. I think there's enough space for it there, but I'd much rather partition one of my other drives, (which are in an OWC Thunderbolt 2 enclosure). Is there any way to get BC to show me "other options"? Or, alternatively, is there a way to format an external drive in NTFS, install a Windows .iso, and then download the necessary drivers for Mac hardware? Thanks, E,E, |
Re: group directory

gosh!...shoot me at dawn for "pushing" the idea of forming more meaningful connections, which is the advantage to opting in...also, profiles contain information, sometimes very interesting, about a person...for instance, one in the group is a private investigator and has apple creds to boot...one lives on beautiful cape breton island...one is a journalist, now retired...and more than half of the 25 now in the directory include a photo in their profile --- which immediately humanizes them to a degree impossible to attain through text alone...as for the notion that your profile heightens the risk of being spammed, i think that's an unrealistic fear.

Re: Permissions

Doug, here's a Terminal command to repair permissions. This is from an article on High Sierra permissions but I think it's the same in Catalina. 1. Open ¡°Terminal¡°. 2. Type the following command, then press ¡°Enter¡°: sudo diskutil resetUserPermissions / `id -u` You will need to type your Home User Account password which will not appear on the screen. Tell us what happens. Denver Dan On Tue, 5 Nov 2019 06:01:48 -0800, Doug Yelmen wrote: That is the very first thing I did Dan.

I went through many fixes, none worked. That¡¯s why I was asking you guys about a Terminal fix so I have some control over my own Mac. I¡¯d also like to reduce the number of times I have to enter my password for such simple things as moving a file to the traxh. doug On Nov 4, 2019, at 8:55 PM, Daniel Settles <denver1.dan1@...> wrote: |

Re: Error message won't go away
If you *never* use iMovie, delete it. It's a big app (up to 3 GB, depending on version) so why waste disk space with something you don't need? Otto On Tue, 5 Nov 2019 at 04:06, Eileen via Groups.Io <neeliec2000=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: Permissions

Howdy.
Doug, do a Get Info on your boot drive icon. Check the bottom section under Sharing & Permissions. Might need to click the reveal triangle. It should look like this Get Info window screen capture. Does it? If not, you can make changes. First you have to click the gold padlock and type your user admin password. Before doing this I recommend that you respond/write back with what your Get Info looks like.

Sorry for the spelling. I live in AZ and we recognize both ways to spell Mojave/Mohave. But I guess Apple likes the J version. ;-)?I do understand clicking OK to close the window.? I do it several times each day. What I'm trying to find is a way to make it stop popping up altogether.?I don't want to update my OS to the next point - yet.? I think what I'll do is just delete iMovie. I never use it.Thanks for the replies. |
