Installing CS6 on macbook pro - have disks, no disk drive on computer

I just purchased a macbook pro and it doesn't have a disk drive. I need to install CS6 and have the disk and serial #, any suggestions? Can I download CS6 directly from Adobe website?

Yes, you can download the trial version and use your serial number to activate it.  Go to the Products section of the Adobe site and find whichever CS6 software you purchased and go to its web page.  On that page you should find a "Try" link to the right.

  • Complete novice! how do i install ms office on macbook pro - have disks and USB superdrive

    Hi, I'm a complete novice.  How do i install MS Office on MacBook Pro - have disks and USB Superdrive?

    Attach the drive via USB. Insert the disk into the drive. It'll show up on the desktop. Double click the disk icon and then run the installer.

    I wouldn't trust that backup.
    Make sure the system is connected to AC and Do Over.

  • Installed apps from Macbook Pro Tiger disk to a Powerbook G4

    I bought a used powerbook G4 that came with Tiger installed, but no tiger disk included in the sale (so i'll have to buy my own copy of it if i want to reinstall anything). Everything on the machine worked perfect... until one day.... okay here's the dumb thing i did: My friend has a new Macbook Pro (with Intel) and i hoped i could install programs from his Tiger disk that i didn't have on my computer (like Garage Band). So i put in his Tiger disk that came with his Macbook Pro (even though someone had advised me that it wouldn't work on a G4!) and in it i found a package of optional applications. I couldn't find and select Garage Band separately on the disk so i decided to just install all optional apps from that package. I figured my computer wouldn't let me even start all this if the Tiger disk was incompatible with my G4. Well, it did proceed along and I watched as it installed a bunch of standard programs i already had on my computer. But oh well i figured it wouldn't hurt anything to reinstall apps like that. Then, I just couldn't find a way to list and select individual programs to install, so i just gave up on the whole idea of getting my friend's Garage Band.
    The next day some of my apps were acting funny. Had problems with Mail, Safari and Itunes. Fortunately, doing an update online fixed mail and safari. But itunes continues to not act right and it's always crashing and i have to force quit. Also my netzero software has become corrupted 2 times since the messing with the Macbook Pro tiger disk, and i've had to reinstall the ISP software. If i buy my own Tiger disk for G4 then i can reinstall itunes completely and hopefully that would solve it's problems. But i'm worried that when i messed with the Intel tiger disk i may have put some code on my hard disk that's harmful and useless to a G4 and could cause further problems down the road.
    So my question is: Has anyone heard of this happening before and what would be the best thing for me to do? And i hope that if i must reinstall the whole OSX tiger, that i can use the "archive and install" mode so i won't lose any 3rd party software on my powerbook.
    Thankyou for reading.

    I would not advise an Archive and Install because it will preserve components of the old system such as your users folder (unless you opt not to do that) which may contain items that are now not compatible. Archive and Install also keeps applications that now are incompatible.
    I would recommend the following:
    1. Boot from your Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button, then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now proceed with OS X installation.

  • Install DVD onto MacBook Pro 13" with NO DVD Drive

    My son has a MacBook Pro 13" with no DVD drive.. He received iLife ON DVD.. What is the simplest way to get the contents of that dvd installed onto his macbook?
    Is there a way to download the ilife and just type in a serial # etc. from the DVD?

    You cannot download iLife from the Internet for free.
    Instead, you have two options to install iLife:
    1. Get an external DVD drive and use it to install iLife, or;
    2. If you have got another PC or Mac, use Remote Disc > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Note that your son's MacBook Pro already comes with iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand, which are iLife apps. However, he needs the DVD to install iDVD and iWeb, in case he needs them

  • Windows 8 won't install on my Macbook Pro, have installed Parallel Desktops 9.

    Am trying to download Windows 8 onto my Macbook Pro. I've installed Parallel Desktops 9. The Windows download keeps telling me it can't download because the setup file is not supported by OS X. Parallel Desktops is telling me I can install Windows via a PC, DVD or image file. Does this mean I cannot install Windows by downloading it.

  • Can I upgrade MacBook Pro hard disk drive next year?

    Hi there!  I'm new to the Apple Support Communities! 
    I am going to buy a new 13" MacBook Pro, 2.5GHz.  I am going to buy the base model, with a 500GB 5400 RPM hard disk drive.  Right now, I can't afford a 256GB solid-state drive, but I'll have enough for one by later next year.  So, I will have done some stuff on my Mac by the time I can upgrade it. I know how to install the drive itself, but how do I transfer my information?
    Here are the issues:
    1) I don't know how I would make it so I could boot from an external USB. 
    2) And I don't know how to get all my personal information from one drive to the other. 
    For "2", I think I could back up my Mac to a hard drive with Time Machine, and then restore from a backup.  But Time Machine couldn't back up the whole OS, right?  And what would the procedure be anyway?  Just turn it on when I'm done the upgrade?
    If someone who has done this before could provide step-by-step instructions, I would really appreciate it!
    Thanks,
    Solid-State Me 

    Yes you can replace the hard drive at any time.  Purchase a replacement drive from any store you like - newegg or mcetech are good stores (among many others) - and when you purchase the new drive, also purchase a drive enclosure.  Then download a program called "super duper" and follow the instructions to use that software.  When your drive arrives, put the new drive in the enclosure, plug it in to your computer and run "super duper" with the option to "make the drive bootable" and let it finish.  What it's doing is copying your drive onto the new drive.  Once the copy is finished, you can shut down your computer, remove the drive, install the new one, and put the original drive into the enclosure.  Now you have an external hard drive that is repurposed instead of throwing it away.  Keep that drive intact for a few weeks without erasing or adding data to be sure you are happy with the new drive and how it performs.  After that, use the drive to store files, backup the internal, transfer stuff, whatever.

  • Cannot install CS6 on Macbook Pro OSX 10.8

    So I took advantage of a sale for educators and bought Photoshop CS6 and I'm following the instructions, I downloaded the Akamai download manager and followed the instructions on the .pdf that it came with. After the download concluded, I click on open bundle and it asks if I wish to open the file downloaded from the internet (Photoshop_13_LS16.exe) and I click Open and then... nothing.
    EDIT:
    Okay, I opened the 7z file using stuffit expander, however I still do not see how to install the program on my mac here as it only has setup.exe in there, no install.app like the instructions inside that folder say.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Also check your order to make sure that you've purchased a Mac version. You may have purchased a Windows version, and that is why the Windows version was offerred for download.

  • Every time I try to back up my Macbook Pro with an external hard drive using Time Machine, I receive the error of "the disk does not have enough space". I have a 500GB hard drive and only 120GB Macbook. It worked fine before the latest Maverick's

    Every time I try to back up my Macbook Pro with an external hard drive using Time Machine, I receive the error of "the disk does not have enough space". I have a 500GB external hard drive and only 120GB Macbook. It worked fine before the latest Maverick's update. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    My guess would be it has created an entirely new backup of your drive when you upgraded to Mavericks.

  • Installed Adobe Photoshop CS6 on MacBook Pro OS 10.7.5, now my DVD player does not work. Ideas?

    I installed Adobe Photoshop CS6 on MacBook Pro, OS 10.7.5. Now my DVD player will not work. Any ideas?

    Problem solved. Yes, it was a coincidence. The problem had to do with my DVD preferences, not the Adobe installation. Thanks for your reply.

  • I have Windows 8.1 installed on my Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013) and it keeps on crashing with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD error

    I have Windows 8.1 installed on my Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013) and it keeps on crashing with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD error. Is this an issue with the bootcamp driver not compatible with Windows 8.1? or is there something I can do to fix this.
    I also keep getting WHEA-Logger Event-ID 19 warning events in the Windows Event Logs with the following details.
    A corrected hardware error has occurred.
    Reported by component: Processor Core
    Error Source: Corrected Machine Check
    Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error
    Processor APIC ID: 3
    The details view of this entry contains further information.

    likely win8.1 dont have official bootcamp support yet
    1/3 of my logins into win8.1 result in a fatal bluescreen
    was the same deal when I installed win8 before official support
    and when the drivers with official support was released the issue went away

  • Hi, I have a macbook pro with a new hard drive installed. My WD external drive backup on time machine now wont let me access the files. I get a prompt saying 'you do not have permission to access the files'

    hi, I have a macbook pro with a new hard drive installed and restored. My WD external drive backup on time machine now wont let me access the files. I get a prompt saying 'you do not have permission to access the files' After my new drive was installed I plugged in time machine and it started backing up. I paused it when I realised that it was running for more than a few minutes. I now realise that it probably started backing up the new hard drive all over again. Which makes me think that the original back up must be on the WD back I cant seem to access it. Any ideas would be helpful.
