Question about installing an old CS2 upgrade download

I had a hard disk crash.  I lost my old Photoshop CS2 and need it working.  I redownloaded from Adobe since I bought it online but it wants a previous copy available which I don't have an do not have my old disk as I lost it in a flood a few years ago.  What can I do?   I do have my old folder on my computer with Photoshop CS in it if that helps any.

  • How do I install my old cs2 student version into my new 2014 MacBook pro? All I have is the cd and the new macs don't come with a cd drive. Also are student cs2 versions allowed to be installed to a desktop and a laptop? Help!!!

    I Bought a new 2014 laptop and new to install my old cs2 program On it. I've only downloaded in on a desktop before but that one had a cd drive. The new computers don't. Is there anyway to work around this?

  • Questions about installing a large internal hard drive

    Hello all,
    I recently bought a Seagate 250GB internal hard drive for my Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics). I intend to install it alongside my old 20GB drive. I have a couple of questions about installing it:
    • What kind of PCI card do I need in order to use the full capacity of the drive?
    • I'm considering partitioning the drive and installing Debian Linux on one partition. Is it possible that Debian won't recognize the PCI card?
    • Is it possible to connect (RAID?) the old and new drives together so that they appear as one big 270GB drive? Is this a good idea?
    • What is the easiest way to copy the contents of my old drive onto the new one? I'd like an exact copy so that I don't have to reinstall the system and everything else; can Carbon Copy Cloner do that?
    Thanks for any help and advice!

    • What kind of PCI card do I need in order to use the
    full capacity of the drive?
    If the drive is an SATA drive you need an SATA controller. If an IDE/ATA drive you need an IDE controller.
    • I'm considering partitioning the drive and
    installing Debian Linux on one partition. Is it
    possible that Debian won't recognize the PCI card?
    You should check the Hardware Compatibility List for Debian against your potential mac compatible purchases. You might also get some good information from Yellow Dog Linux compatibility lists.
    • Is it possible to connect (RAID?) the old and new
    drives together so that they appear as one big 270GB
    drive? Is this a good idea?
    If you want to stripe the 2 dives together your overall performance will be slowed down by the slower of the two drives. For example, If you have one 5400rpm drive and another 7200rpm drive, the RAID will be bogged down by the slower drive so you wont get the full benefit of the lower latencies of the 7200. You will still get some of the faster transfer times, just not the lower latencies.
    Wether or not it's a good idea depends on your personal needs. Do you need a drive that can can move very large files to and from memory quickly (bandwidth) or a drive that can locate and serve up the files quickly (latency)?
    • What is the easiest way to copy the contents of my
    old drive onto the new one? I'd like an exact copy
    so that I don't have to reinstall the system and

    CCC should work fine for you. You could also use the command line asr utility.

  • Questions about Installing EBS R12 continued

    Folks,
    Hello. This post is the continue for previous post "Questions about Installing EBS R12".
    While installing EBS R12 using "./rapidwiz", the Install Wizard gets to "CD Locator - Select root directory of required Rapid Install Disk. Enter location for the disk labeled. Oracle Applications Rapid Install - Database Disk 1"
    I browse the directory where Database Disk 1 is located (file name: V15680-01_1of3/oraAPPDB/Disk1). Then click "OK" button, CD Locator Windows come up again and again. The Install Wizard doesn't proceed !
    The above issue means some files in stage area directory are corrupted. Thus, I have deleted the stage area directory (zip files and unzipped files) and try to download a fresh EBS R12 from Oracle Edelivery to install again.
    Now, the problem is that when I empty trash (EBS_R12) in Oracle Linux 5, the 3 files (V15680-01_1of3.zip, oraAppDB, oraDB) cannot be deleted from the trash, the error message is:
    "You don't have permission to modify its parent folder."
    The file V15680-01_1of3.zip is Rapid Install Database Disk 1 on which the install Wizard stop while installing EBS R12.
    Can any folks help to solve the issue on file "V15680-01_1of3.zip" ?
    that is, how to empty it from Trash ? How to have the Wizard go through it when install again ?

    Please update the original thread instead of creating new one -- Re: Questions about Installing EBS R12

  • Question about installing logic 9 upgrade on new computer

    Hello!
    I just purchased a new mac pro (woo hoo... finally) and the logic 9 upgrade pack. I own Logic 8 but I'm not sure if I should install it before installing the logic 9 upgrade.
    Will I miss out on any parts of the logic 8 sound library, loops, effects, etc by only installing logic 9? I have my S# and am aware installing Logic 8 is not needed, just curious if there are any advantages or disadvantages of installing.
    Thanks

  • Question about installing drivers on Vi

    Hey,?Within the next couple of weeks, I intend to purchase a?X-Fi Fatalty FPS card. I know the Vista drivers aren't up to scratch at the moment, but I'm in no rush to upgrade to Vista, although I have access to the RTM through TechNet. As soon as all drivers are of a good standard then I'll upgrade - until then I'd stick with XP which works great. My question is this, If I buy this card it'll ship with a driver CD. I'll need to install the drivers/creative applications from this CD and then update them from the website. The drivers on the disc will be for Windows XP, and not compatible with Vista. When I format the dri've and install Vista, how do I go about installing the Creative Vista drivers. The downloadable ones from the website require the main CD drivers to be installed, which I won't be able to install as they're for XP. Hope that makes sense. Thanks.

    Ooh, perhaps I got the wrong end of the stick then. Im basing this on my experience with an old Creative Audigy card I had years ago, but If memory serves me correctly it was actually an OEM card. So what you're saying is, when I receive my X-Fi, I can not use the CD and straight away download the latest drivers/apps from the creative website and install them without needing to run the CD through first?Thanks for your reply.

  • Question about installing a SSD drive and how to clone

    Greetings,
    I have a 2007 white macbook w/ 80GB HD. I have been thinking about installing a 60 GB SSD drive from OWC as the price has come down tremendously and honestly just to see how it improves boot time, launch, applications etc. I don't keep much stuff on this macbook as it is purely a "browsing" computer but I was wondering how to best clone the hard drive to the new one?
    From what I understand, I use an application like Carbon copy cloner and backup "all data". Then, I turn the macbook over and follow the instructions for installing the new drive. Then, I guess I boot up and format the new drive with Snow Leopard.
    When do I actually tell the recently formatted computer to transfer the data from the backup clone? Do I do this during the opening migration screen? I know how to import data from another computer using Firewire and a cable, however, does the new SSD formatted computer understand how to boot from the carbon copy cloner backup without installing this software on the new drive?
    Cheers.

    Julie:
    I am no expert on SSDs. Here is how I would do it with a regular HDD. Note: You will need an external 2.5" enclosure.
    Clone Old HDD to new HDD using SuperDuper
    • Install new HDD in enclosure
    • Connect to the computer and boot from internal HDD.
    • Launch Disk Utility and format new HDD in enclosure (post for step by step directions, if needed)
    • Download and launch SuperDuper
    • In the Copy field select your internal HDD
    • To is your newly formatted HDD in enclosure
    • Using *backup all files*
    • Click Options button
    • Check *Repair Disk Permissions on Source*
    • During copy Erase Destination HDD then copy from Source
    • On successful completion Quit SuperDuper
    • Shut down computer and with external still connected
    • Option boot from external HDD to check clone.
    • If everything checks out, remove new HDD from enclosure and install in computer.
    • Install old HDD in enclosure (if desired)

  • Beginner question about installing 1.5 on new machine

    I signed up for a Creative Cloud account when Edge Animate 1.0 was released and installed it on my laptop.  I am finally going to set aside some time to learn the software, but I have a better, new laptop now.
    It was my understanding at the time, and I have read about this recently too, that Adobe was being gracious enough to offer versions 1.0 and 1.5 indefinitely for free.
    My problem is that on my new laptop I can't install the software.  I found links for the Adobe Application Manager and people saying you could get it through there.  But when I open AAM there is no option to download the software.  I also installed the Creative Cloud software, but can't download 1.5 from there either, only the 30 day trial version (not what I was looking for).
    I was hoping to get the one that will work indefinitely at version 1.5 like I had previously, on my new computer (except I actually have 1.0 on my old computer).
    Any tips?
    I apologize if this has already been covered, I searched extensively through the forums to see if there was already an answer to my question.

    Hi, Jason-
    I want to clarify that we are not offering 1.0 and 1.5 indefinitely for free; we are offering 1.x in a perpetual license for a promotional price of free.  The first statement implies that we will always offer 1.5, no matter what happens with the HTML world.  The latter means that once you download 1.x, we won't expire the version you download.  Just wanted to clarify your statement.
    Thanks,
    -Elaine

  • [Urgent] Some questions about Oracle Portal 10g - 11g upgrade

    Dear friends,
    We are under doing upgrading assessment of Oracle Portal from 10g to 11g. After reviewed the 'upgrading guide', we still have some questions as below:
    1. Whether the 'Instant Portal' feature remain in Oracle Portal 11g? If yes, how to migrate the Instant Portal 10g sites? If no, any workaround?
    2. Whether the old 10g Page Group and Pages will be still available after 11g upgrade? Also can customer import the old 10g transportset into Portal 11g?
    3. How about the customized Portal 10g objects (such as customized template, style, attributes) after 11g upgrade? Still be usable?
    4. Customer use PDK to develop many portlets in 10g. Can they use JDeveloper 11g to migrate their old project to 11g automatically?
    Thank you in advance and any comment are welcome.

    1. Whether the 'Instant Portal' feature remain in Oracle Portal 11g? If yes, how to migrate the Instant Portal 10g sites? If no, any workaround?Instant Portal is not available anymore in Oracle Portal 11g. The Instant Portal page groups will be migrated to standard Portal page groups. Maintenance of the Instant Portal can be done with the standard Portal tools. The Instant Portal tools are not available anymore.
    Whether the old 10g Page Group and Pages will be still available after 11g upgrade? Also can customer import the old 10g transportset into Portal 11g?Old 10g Page Groups are migrated to Portal 11g. They will still be available after the upgrade.
    Export/Import through transports sets has always been limited to instances of the same version. It is not supported between versions as documented in the Administration Guide :
    [11.2.1|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/portal.1111/e10239/cg_imex.htm#CCJBCCGD] System Requirements
    Before exporting and importing content, ensure that your system meets the minimum system requirements, as described in this section.
    Notes:
    * Export and import functions only within the same release of Oracle Portal and the same patch release, for example, release 10.1.4 to release 10.1.4 or release 11.1.1 to release 11.1.1. You cannot export and import between two different releases, such as release 10.1.2 to release 10.1.4 or release 10.1.4 to release 11.1.1.
    How about the customized Portal 10g objects (such as customized template, style, attributes) after 11g upgrade? Still be usable?Customized objects get migrated as well. Certain types (e.g. PL/SQL item types) need to be checked after upgrade as the behavior of the PL/SQL code may differ between database versions. This is particularly of concern when the 10.1.4.x Portal uses a 10.1 database. A database upgrade to either 10.2, 11.1 or 11.2 is necessary as Portal 11g is not supported with RDBMS 10.1.
    Customer use PDK to develop many portlets in 10g. Can they use JDeveloper 11g to migrate their old project to 11g automatically?Never done this, but the Portal framework is able to consume JPDK providers which are running in older versions of the toolkit. If the providers are running in standalone OC4J containers, you would be able to upgrade the framework and keep the providers in their OC4J containers. This will allow you to focus on the framework first and worry about your providers later.
    Thanks,
    EJ

  • Question about installing/uninstalling if useless...

    In my Add/Remove panel I have the following listed:
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 4
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
    Java(TM) SE Development Kit 6
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6
    I downloaded JDK 1.6.0 so I could compile and interpret while I learn Java from "Learn Java in 21 days."
    My question is: Do I need to have the J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 4 and 6 in my add/remove panel? Can or should these be removed since I installed JDK1.6.0?

    The book (pdf) is from '96 so I think it's outdated.
    I tried compiling code from day 2 and it didn't work.
    The code from day 1 did though. Yes, Windows XP,
    although I have a dualboot wtih Mandrake 10.
    I'm a little confused about the J2SE and JDK. Are
    they the same thing, as in JDK1.5.0 = J2SE5? I
    downloaded JDK1.6.0 and while installing it, it said
    "Java 2 Platform Standard Edition"
    I'll revert back to JDK5 in a bit. Thanks.The J2SE = Java 2 Standard Edition.
    JDK 1.5.0 ~ 1.5.6 is still J2SE
    I believe the next version JDK 1.6 is still considered J2SE. Usually the version numbers are Major.Minor.Revision format. I am guessing that if the next JDK was version 2.0.1 then the platform would be J3SE. Just a quess though.
    Also, all the names are subject to change per the Marketing department at Sun.
    Also, Here is a list of links to online lessons, tutorials, API, free Ebooks, and other reference material.

  • HT1338 Question about installing Lion on an older Mac, can anyone help?

    i have a late 2006 iMac that I am giving to my daughter. I upgraded to Snow Leopard, OS X 10.6.8 but am concerned about going to Lion. I read that to install Mountain Lion you need to have an early '07 Mac.  I read here that someone had installed Lion on an '06. I know that it must have at least 2 GB of memory and need to upgrade from the 1 GB that is on the '06.  Don't want to spend the money on the additional memory if I am not going to be able to download and run Lion OS.  Can anybody help me on this?

    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    The above are the facts. You cannot install Mountain Lion on a non-qualifying model. What you've read about probably is about installations of the Developer Preview 1. However, that stopped with the subsequent releases including this release.
    You may be able to run Lion on the computer if it's a Core 2 Duo model. Lion will require at least 2 GBs of RAM. However, we aren't sure about where you can buy Lion, but customers may be able to purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.]

  • Questions about installing SSD on my 2010 Macbook Pro

    Hey there.
    I have a Macbook Pro 2010. 15 inches and 2.4 GHz.
    I was planning to upgrade only the memory from 4gb to 8, but realized that while I was at it, I might as well upgrade the hdd to an ssd as well.
    I've lurked around the internet on how to install and set up a solid state drive onto my mbp, and I got the installation part alright (open back, T6 screwdriver, etc etc).
    I'm concerned more about the set up - the process after in which I install my ssd, and installing the OSX - I have not yet found a site with solid step - by - step instructions into doing this.
    Cloning? TRIM? I am getting very confused, and mildly frustrated.
    So basically, after I physically install my SSD (which will be a Samsung 840 by the way), screw the bottom lid back on, then what?
    Just in case this helps: I have the official cd for the Snow Leopard, as well as the application dvd and ilife. A lot of people are saying something like install Lion via internet or a purchased usb. Can i simply just install my snow leopard by the cd, and then upgrade it to lion after?
    And I know that the 2010 mbp does not support SATA3. Im buying it simply for future upgrades.
    Thanks for reading my post.

    Let's see if I can help...
    You already are aware that you can't have SATA III speeds, but you're already ahead of me on that one - I always suggest anticipating for future needs.
    You've already made your choice of drive (and size, I'm guessing) and you know that you'll need a Phillips #00 and a Torx T6 screwdriver. I'm assuming that you've watched plenty of videos...
    ...so now, how to get everything working? What I would do is to buy an inexpensive USB enclosure for your old drive, install the new SSD and boot from the old drive, use Disk Utility from the old drive to format the SSD as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition, and then use Carbon Copy Cloner (free for 30 days) to clone your old drive to your new drive (this is assuming that your SSD has similar space as your old HD?).
    It's a simple procedure - pretty simply outlined here -> https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4122.
    The only uh-oh is if you have far more data on your HD than space available on your new SSD. That presents a new challenge. Write back if my method won't work because of space issues.
    Oh, and I use Trim Enabler to enable TRIM on my SSD - the only drawback is that every time there's a .1 update to OS X, you must run it again and restart.

  • Newbie Questions About Installing Windows with Boot Camp

    Hi Karen and welcome to Discussions,
    The only reason I want to use Windows is to be able to download games from the internet that are not made for Mac only for PC and I have a few questions:
    1. Doing all this installation will anything made for PC work?
    Nearly anything. There are some Windows programs using hardware dongles that don't run.
    2. I only have Windows XP will that work? And then do all the SP updates after it's installed?
    You need a Windows XP CD with at least Service Pack 2 (SP2) incorporated.
    3. If I have to use Windows XP SP2 is this one a good one to buy?
    http://www.cdsfu.com/index.php?categoryID=87
    another user round here had already asked about that website.
    Three things about this offer are, at least to me, very suspicious:
    "Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition With SP2, Full Version on CDR"
    Microsoft never has used CD-R disc (CD-Recordable) for Windows
    "software that does NOT include any COA label or a sticker from the manufacturer"
    There always has to be a sticker, that one puts on the computer on which the Windows license is installed and a COA label as well.
    "VOLUME LICENSE INCLUDED"
    A volume license, from my understanding, was only sold to companys, who install Windows on a larger scale (hundreds of computers) and for that purpose are given only one license-key for all installations.
    Usually this is known as a'corporate license'.
    All in all, I would personally stay away from this offer. It simply doesn't sound legal to me.
    4. After everything is installed do I have to use an anti-virus?
    When running Windows a decent Anti-Virus software is a must.
    I want to thank you for your help as you can see I really am a newbie.
    You're welcome anytime. Hope it helps.

    i haven't decided if i will need 16gb of ram for the coding I will do once i start my CS degree in the fall, but i assume if I am using lots of Virtual machines or what not to run Linux side by side with Windows, (that's possible right?) it might gobble up the GB's, i also might experiment with ram disks to see how those work...
    also:
    any tips on reinstalling operating system on SSD so i retain the lenovo utilities that came on the factory image on the HDD,
    I know you can download most of them from lenovo to install, but are there any that are only from the factory image?
    should i make a clean install or make disc image? 
    Is there anything that I missed that might not make these upgrades go as smoothly as possible?
    any info is appreciated

    I have a machine with essentially the same specs, except I have 16GB of ram. I'd say get the RAM. 16GB makes my machine run like a dream. i'm in engineering, so I run AutoCAD and other similar applications. If you do use VM's, then you will want the extra memory as well. The machine can run linux, but with the loss of the Optimus, as it is not supported well. Do a clean install, but make the Recovery dvds first. also go to the root of the hard drive and back up the SWTOOLS and swshare folders. those contain all of the preloaded software. I always do a clean install when I get a new machine. Everything else looks good.

  • Question about configurations in Old Server

    Dear All,,
    I have a Question !
    How will you find what are the configuration are in a server.. for example..
    Is the DB configured RAC or DATA guard ?
    Is RMAN configured or not ?
    because at any time we have to face this request for Client who they don't have details regarding their Server,, (in Old Support Projects).
    if i have a plan for a upgradation of database what are the documents i have to prepare and what are the steps i have to take at initial stage !
    Regards
    HAMEED

    Hameed,
    This should be documented and those documents should be provided by the clients.
    You could do some investigation but again this will not be correct or complete without the documentation. For example, for RAC you could query the dynamic views (gv$instance, v$instance on each node) but this assume you already know what servers are configured. Or, you could refer to the RAC/DataGuard/RMAN configuration MOS docs for Oracle E-Business Suite and go through the steps to verify if those configurations are presented or not.
    Thanks,
    Hussein
