Lightroom2 on disk, V3 upgrade by download, PC changed to MAC

I would be grateful if someone knows the answer to my situation please. Apologies if the answer is already posted but I can't find my issue already discussed...
I have just changed from a Windows PC where I was running Lightroom, to a Mac. I originally bought LR2 on a disk, then upgraded to LR3 via software download, and everything has been running great on the PC.
The PC is now replaced with a Mac and I need to install LR3. I've tried installing LR2 from the disk thinking that I can then go to the Adobe website and upgrade using my license to LR3, however when trying to install LR2 to the Mac I get the error message 'there were errors with this installation' and installation does not complete. I've also looked at the Adobe site to see if I can download LR3 from scratch onto the Mac but can't find a link to do this, and am unsure if this would work as it's the upgrade that I bought online.
If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this I'd be hugely grateful.
Regards
Andy

there is no need to install LR2 and then upgrade to LR3 - just download tha latest LR3 version here http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroom&promoid&promoid=DT EML and install it.
When you launch LR the first time choose 'I have a serial number' and insert you LR3 serial number. Then it will tell you that this is an upgrade s/n and asks for your original LR2 s/n.
That's it.

  • Since upgrade video download format changed

    Hi, ever since I upgraded to system 10.4.10, my camera's videos now download as a .MOV instead of .AVI as it did before. Now I have to convert each one individually to .AVI.
    I have a PowerShot A520 Canon camera. Is there anyway to change this? Has anyone else has this problem?
    Thank you,

    I figured it out and it was my mistake. I had been joining some .AVIs in Quicktime and when I saved them, they saved as a .MOV. I'm so sorry for taking up anyone's time and thank you again, TD, for replying.
    This is now SOLVED.

  • I may have totally screwed myself but...after installing Yosemite without checking first, my CS4 Design Premium suite wouldn't open. So I deinstalled it, but I only have disks for my old CS3. When I got the CS4 upgrade I downloaded it. What can I do??

    I may have totally screwed myself but...after installing Yosemite without checking for potential problems with Adobe software, my CS4 Design Premium suite wouldn't open. So after consulting some forums, I deinstalled it, but I only have disks for my old CS3. When I got the CS4 upgrade I downloaded it, back in 2011... What can I do?? Everything was fine before I upgraded that *#$%* Yosemite.

  • I just replaced my hard drive and want to reinstall Lion. Was only able to use my original disks and upgrade to 10.5.8 so far.

    How can I re-download and install Lion?
    2007 iMac hard drive failed yesterday. Replaced drive with a 1Tb from apple and used original disks and software update to get 10.5.8 Leopard running. Updated QT to 7.5.5 so can launch and log in to iTunes. I had purchased Lion previously but can't seem to access the Mac App store to re-download and install my purchased copy.
    Thanks

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements

               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and

    Once you get this far you can look to reinstall Lion from the Purchases page in the App Store or by purchasing a Lion download:
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion.

  • I want to upgrade the software (currently I have Mac OS X 10.6.4) but when the mac is downloading the new version i get an error message and is not possible get the most updated software: Mac OS X 10.6.8 or either the most recent itunes why?!?!?!

    Then you either have a network problem or a hardware problem or a corrupted hard drive. You might try:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    You can also try downloading from another computer on a different network connection.

  • My last computer crashed and my new computer doesn't have a disk drive. I downloaded the CS package, put in my serial number,but during install is is still requiring a disk. What do I do?

    is your cs6 a upgrade?
    if so, after entering your cs6 serial number you will be prompted to select the qualifying product from a dropdown.  select the product you own and enter its serial number.
    after entering each serial number at the correct time installation will proceed.
    if no, what files (names and extensions) did you download and what are the file sizes shown on your hd?

  • I get a disk error when trying to upgrade to mountain lion on my mac book pro that also runs bootcamp

    I recently tried to upgrade my macbook pro OSX to mountain lion via the app store. When it tried to install it gives me a disk error. I have run disk utilities and repaired, verified etc. but it makes no difference. I am running bootcamp as well and have tried to modifiy the partition sizes in disk utilities, but it says for both that they cannot be modified. I can switch my startup disk and reboot in windows, no problem, so getting my files off isnt the issue. I have also tried to recover the hard disk using time machine which i was lucky enough to backup the day before it all went wrong. However, time machine runs fine until it asks me which disk to recover and it gives me an option of the time machine disk or bootcamp, but no option for my mac partition. So, I have tried everything that makes snese, but getting errors with disks lock, cant repartition, disk error needs repair (which i know is not true, its only because of the Mountain Lion OSX that its messed up). Any ideas?

    You have some other problem with your boot drive that has corrupted data backed up to the TimeMacine drive.
    My advice is to boot into each operating system and manually backup just your Users files each to separate regular external drives (no Timemachine or backup software) and disconnect.
    Make a note of any serial numbers, emails, address book contacts, export bookmarks etc. that isn't typically in your users folders data.
    You might be able to Winclone 3 the Windows as a whole thing as it's appearing not to have issues but it's your MacintoshHD partition that is so that will have to be rebuilt from scratch.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    If your OS X parititon doesn't boot, you can use this to recover files.
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Without any further detail about your machine I can't advise specifically what to do, but it involves using Disk Utility to Zero Erase (move slider one spot to the right or in 10.6 using Security Option) the ENTIRE boot drive and reformatting, then installing OSX fresh and then setting up BootCamp again.
    If you wish to switch your boot drive for something better, this is a good time to do this.
    Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
    If your machine is capable of Internet Recovery, then use that, then upgrade.
    If your machine came with 10.6 or earlier, then use the 10.6 install disks and work up from there.
    Erase, formatting, OS X installs on Mac's

  • I have just upgraded to Mavericks and have been using Time Machine on an external disk with Snow Leopard.  Can I continue to backup with Time Machine on the same external disk or do I need a new disk since the operating system has changed?

    I have just upgraded to Mavericks and have been using Time Machine on an external disk with Snow Leopard.  Can I continue to backup with Time Machine on the same external disk or do I need a new disk since the operating system has changed?

    Hi there,
    I found that Time Machine in Mavericks will sort it all out for you. You shouldn't need to buy another backup drive, unless you have insufficient space left and can't afford to delete whats on there. It should just work fine.

  • IMac G4 will not start up from OS disk to upgrade

    I am trying to upgrade the OS in a G4 iMac, the OS disk is recognized, am asked to restart, but it will not restart from the OS 10.5 disk.

    Will it boot from the install disc that came with the G4?  If so, run
    Disk Utility
       1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
       3. Click the First Aid tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    After that, reset the PRAM  and see if that helps.
    Please post back with results,

  • I am trying to upgrade my hard drive in my mac book pro using the disk utility in an attempt to clone my old hard drive.  I can only get so far, just before cloning may start and receive an "error 254" and can go no further.  Any idea what this error is?

    I am trying to upgrad the hard drive in my mac book pro using the disk utility in an attempt to clone my old hard drive.  I can only get so far throughj the process where its about to start cloing when I get a message " error 254".  Any idea what that means and how do I get around this issue so I can use my new hard drive?  Thanks for your input.
    Vince

    Connect the HDD to your MBP.  Open Disk Utility>Erase and drag the HDD icon inrt the Name field.  The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Click on the Erase button.
    Then try the clone process again.  You may use Disk Utility>Restore or a third party cloning application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.
    Ciao.

  • Trying to upgrade to os 10.8.5  I now use 10.75  Bot the upgrade and downloaded. But a warning msg said that I need 10.8 first.  So trashed the dload, shut down machine thinking to go back and start over.Now the mac won't let me try re-download

    Hi - I made a mistake, I guess.  I'm tring to upgrade to os 10.85.  I now use 10.75.  I bought the upgrade and downloaded it, completely I thought... but when I opened it to install it, a warning came up and said I need 10.8  in order to install 10.85.  So...after some thought, I trashed the down load and went back to the app staore to find 10.8.   the little box by the mountain lion image said 'downloading'/  Sure enough in a remote corner of the screen there was a little box that said it was downloading.   arrgh.   I'd already trashed what was downloaded in finder .   So I figured I'd stop the download in the little box (which I think was 10.8)  , turn off the mac.  and then reboot, and download the whole thing again.   
    Now, when I go to the mountain lion image in the app store, and press 'download'  It won't let me download at all.   ??What to do??

    Back up all data.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    From the App Store menu bar, select
    Store ▹ Check for Unfinished Downloads...
    You may be prompted to sign in. If that doesn't solve the problem, quit the application and continue as below.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    open $TMPDIR../C
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A folder should open. From that folder, delete the subfolder named "com.apple.appstore".
    Quit Terminal. Launch the App Store and try again.

  • HT6030 I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer.  Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Hmmmm.

    I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer.  Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update.   Expect it's due to being at 10.9.1.  Mail is still teetering between dysfunctional and non-functional.  Advice?

    I'm not sure what "Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6" is. Mac OS X 10.5.6 is Leopard, a system that is quite old at this point. There have not been any Mail updates for Leopard in quite some time. If you are trying to install some old Mail update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 in Mavericks, that won't work.
    If you are trying to install the Mavericks Mail update manually, that's not necessary if you have updated through the App Store. If the App Store shows no updates, you don't need this. (The error message doesn't make sense, and may indicate some other problem with your system, assuming that you were downloading this update from Apple's site.)
    I'd advise you to start a new topic in the Mavericks forum and describe the problems you are having with Mail. Be sure to include specifics, but try to avoid speculating on causes, as responses that may be related to an inaccurate assumption on your part can cloud the issue.
