As long as you have the serial number you should not have an issue installing and activating Lightroom when you finish the system reinstall.

  • Bought a hard copy of Final Cut Pro 7 a few years ago, now I want to update it to the new FCP without having to repurchase it.

    Originally, I bought Final Cut Pro 7 as a hard copy (at the apple store, not app store). Now, since there have been many new updates to the software (Final Cut Pro X, and so on) - I made an attempt to download the updates from the app store; but it doesn't seem to realize that I already have Final Cut Pro installed, and it's trying to make me repurchase it (I'm not in the mood to spend another $300). I'm aware that people who purchased Final Cut Pro on the app store are able to receive updates for free - so why can't I?
    Thanks.

    FCPX is a from the ground new app, sharing just the name of legacy FC/p.
    no upgrade path avail. But worth every penny
    download the 30d free trial first! It's a very different app compsred to what you are use to.

    I did not deactivate a photoshop cs6 before there was a new "C" hard drive installed on my computer and a Win7 Pro fresh install too. How can I activate photoshop on the new hardware if I can't deactivate it on the old hardware that is no longer available? Any help will be appreciated.

    If it's the same machine (same CPU) there should not be any need to activate.  The actiovation is tied to your CPU.

  • IMac 10.5.8 ... Time machine died. Bought new Time Capsule2TB. Ordered 10.6 ... Not recommended to install 10.6 w/o prebackup ... Current utility for airport won't do with the new Time Capsule. ... What to do?

    iMac 10.5.8 ... Time machine died. Bought new Time Capsule2TB. Ordered 10.6 ... Not recommended to install 10.6 w/o prebackup ... Current utility for airport won't do with the new Time Capsule. ... What to do?

    You are in the typical catch22.. you cannot use the TC without setting it up.. you cannot set it up without Lion.. so you can install the latest utility.
    Do you have any reasonably current iOS devices.. they can run the iOS version of the utility.. that will allow you to set up the TC.
    Or invite a friend with a laptop running at least Lion
    Or take the TC back and get a plain USB hard drive and backup to that.

  • TS1424 I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly.  How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

    I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly.  How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

    I could not find an option to "report a problem".
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

I guess I will need to reinstall itunes again - but if I do this will, I lose all the music that I have bought or imported into my library? How do I reinstall my library/playlists to the new itunes?
    Thanks

    Make a backup of your media and other important files.
    Just to be safe, make a backup of your entire iTunes directory.
    Restore computer or do whatever it is you need to do.
    Restore your media and other important documents.
    Install iTunes.
    Try using search next time... this gets asked way too frequently.

  • How can I reinstall Mountain Lion on new hard drive?

    I've had to install a new hard drive as old one was failing.
    Have loaded Snow Leopard from disc onto the new drive but can't install Mountain Lion which I was running prior to drive failure; very frustrated.
    Have tried several options.
    1. Tried to reboot from OS X Utilities but whenever I restart, holding the cmd + R keys, I can only ever get the standard screen. I've tried pressing keys early in restart, later in restart, keys on either side of the keyboard, cmd + alt/option + R but still can't get to the OS X Utilities.
    2. Having given up on 1 I've tried to download ML from my purchase history in iTunes. I can see the purchase recorded but there appears to be no way to get to a reload option - at least not in the iTunes loaded from Snow Leopard
    3. I tried downloading ML updates, hoping that might allow me to bypass 1 and 2. The download wasn't recognised by my machine.
    4. I've be willing to just buy the **** OS again from scratch but iTunes won't allow me to do that either, at least not using my current Apple ID.
    Does anyone have any bright ideas? I hate bloody computers.

    How old is your Mac, if it came with 10.6 installed it is too old to have Internet Recovery (command-option-R) And as it has a new hard drive you won't be able to use Recovery (command-R) either until a new copy of Mountain Lion is installed and ceates a recovery partition on the drive.

  • I installed Photoshop Elemets 11 on my old pc, I do not have my serial number, how can I nstall it on my new notebook? I do not have the box or anything anymore. Can I deinstall and install new?

    Photoshop Elements 11 is installed on my old pc and I like to deinstall and install on my new notebook.
    I do not have the serial number anymore. Can I find the number somewhere on the installed programme?
    Thanks for help Sonja

    You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines, so you do not need to remove it from the old pc just to install it on the new machine.
    If you look in your Adobe account online you might be able to find the serial number.
    You can also try contact Adobe support thru chat to see if they can help with the serial number.  They might be able to if you can prove ownership of the software.

    Try a soft-reset and see if the duplicates still show after the iPad has restarted (a couple of times I've had it happen to me when moving an app whilst it is downloading, and the soft-reset has fixed it) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I have Elements 13 (I have the hard copy) installed on my iMac using Yosemite. I do all my iPhoto work on an external drive where I have copied my iPhoto Library, can I also install Elements 13 on my external harddrive or drag Elements 13 over from my iMa

    I have Elements 13 (I have the hard copy) installed on my iMac using Yosemite. I do all my iPhoto work on an external drive where I have copied my iPhoto Library, can I also install Elements 13 on my external harddrive or drag Elements 13 over from my iMac so that I can do work with Elements 13 via the exteranl hard drive? Thanks tb

    Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
    Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
    You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
    Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
    Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

  • If I install Windows 7 on iMac (what we have done many times and it works very good) does windows support the fusion drive?

    if I install Windows 7 on iMac (what we have done many times and it works very good) does windows support the fusion drive?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Fusion Drive is created by software on OS X. On a computer with Fusion Drive, Windows is installed on the HDD, but when you install the Boot Camp drivers, you will be able to read Macintosh HD, so it looks like it supports Fusion Drive but only for read

  • ITunes 10.6.0.40 will not open on Windows 7, no error messages come up. Have tried un-installing it and re-installing it many times.

    iTunes 10.6.0.40 will not open on Windows 7, no error messages come up. Have tried un-installing it and re-installing it many times. Please help.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)
