Im totally out of space on my 10 mo. old macbook. I want to move some of the lesser used apps. to my external hard drive. Can I do so and still be able to access them from the external HD when needed??

Please Help!

The best way to do this is uninstall the apps from your macbook’s drive, plug in your external drive, and then re-install them to the external drive. Make sure that you back up any personal data from the apps before uninstalling, though!

    A tool such as this one will accomplish the same thing without having to uninstall your programs, but you will have to pay for it.
