Use usb ram mac os x

Every program is different, but what I'm looking for here, in Final Cut Pro, is something that tells me that things are going to be saved or recorded to a certain folder on my hard drive. I found that it was saving my Library backups to a folder called FCB on my internal hard drive. I switched that over to my external drive so all the files that back up from this point on will stay off of my computer's internal drive. Applications don't have to be your only focus when switching over to an external drive.

They usually take up the most memory on a system, but you do have other options to switch over as well, such as music, photos, videos, notes, documents Pages documents, Word documents, etc. All these things take up space, thus resulting in an inevitable slow down. But, if we take the right steps, we can figure out ways to prevent it.

My Mac still runs like it did day one, and I plan on keeping it that way. Everything was fine except iTunes. Won't open the App itself, just opens the menu bar- so I would be forced to either make my iTunes Library one giant playlist so I could import it, or do it one song at a time because that is the only option it gives. So guess I am stuck with iTunes being on the MacBook drive, instead of the external.

It may have something to do with the GDrive not being able to be "authenticated".

Just about to buy a new Mac and want some info which might help me not spend more than I need to I was wondering whether you can move preinstalled programs like GarageBand, etc. I realise it probably won't with iTunes, but the more I can shift off that I wouldn't use that often, the better Great article, thanks so much! I plan to do this tonight! One question, is there a way to move the apps within iTunes?

This is identical, regardless of media type. It does not actually increase physical RAM. If the server requires more physical memory, I do not believe this would work. Sounds like you are referencing ReadyBoost. That particular theory about turning an external or flash drive into virtual memory has been around for ages.
