Ruthsarah which Creative Suite are you wanting to install?  You can find links to the installation files of the majority of our Adobe Creative Software titles at Other downloads.

  • Is it possible to deactivate CS4 from a PC and transfer to a Mac without the original discs?

    Is it possible to deactivate CS4 from a PC and transfer to a Mac without the original discs? The original discs were thrown away in a house move, but I'd like to transfer my CS4 applications from a PC to a Mac; is there anything I can do? Where is the serial number located?

    Licenses are platform specific, so a Windows version will not install/activate on a Mac.  Platform swaps are only supported for the most recent release (CS6).  The only way you might be able to do that is to have a Windows emulator installed on the Mac so that you have the required environment. 

  • How can I format my intell based imac without the original Tiger discs? I have a user account on it that I dont want. I have upgraded to Snow Leopard but I want to to star affresh. Thank you.

    How can I format my intell based imac without the original Tiger discs? I have a user account on it that I dont want. I have upgraded to Snow Leopard but I want to to start affresh. Thank you. I have tried loading the Snow Leopard disc whilst holding down th C key but it goes straight into install mode. I am new to Macs and I have inherited this machine.

    Hello, many options...
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, 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 Erase 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. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion do a new install.
    Or...
    Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    In the same pref pane highlight your old account, click the little minus icon, then use Disk Utility to Secure Erase Free Space.

  • How Can I restore my mac without the original software disks?

    Hi I have a preowned macbook pro that i got from a friend. I would like to restore the computer back to its original settings because it is asking me for user passwords when i go to install something and the old owner does not remember the password. I do not have the disks the computer came with. Is there any other option to restoring the computer back to its original settings without the disks? I am still trying to figure out the mac "world" so may not be aware of all settings.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First, open "System Information" app or "System Profiler", and copy "Model Identifier", and copy it here. I'm not completely sure if you have a MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    Instead of reinstalling OS X, first try resetting the user password. To do it, open  > About this Mac, and see "Version". If it's 10.7 or 10.8, follow these steps > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101 If it's 10.6 or older, you need the DVDs, so call Apple to get replacement DVDs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    After doing that, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, and press the + button to create a new administrator user for you

  • Factory resetting my mac without the original disk

    Hello community!
         I would like to factory reset my MacBook Pro from mid 2010 with OS X v10.6 but I do not have the original installation CDs. So here's two amazing questions:
    1) Is there any way I can get the CD's, either by burning them using a recovery partition or either by Apple itself (and the price it'll cost)?
    2) If not, or because it'll cost me too much to buy the CDs from Apple, is there any way to factory reset without the CDs? Also, would I need the account information of the administrator account? Because I don't have these information (not that it's a stolen MacBook but I just bought it from a random guy for really cheap). Also, if it's possible, how do I reinstall the bundled applications that came with the MacBook such as iLife?
    Thank you guys for responding as fast as you can.

    iLife comes in a separate DVD.
    I have not seen that the main system install DVD restore anything but the OS. In the modern days of the Lions, when you reinstall a Mac you can download the iLife apps from the App Store if you are entitled to them (i.e., the Mac you have registered to your AppleID came with them). Don't know for older systems (didn't use iLife back then).

  • Installing OS to MacBook without the original install discs

    I'd been having performance issues with my late-2007 MacBook, purchased in January 2008, for some time. At the recommendation of a friend I backed up my important data to an external hard drive, and subsequently wiped the MacBook's hard drive clean. When I went to reinstalI OSX, I discovered that what I thought were the original install disks were in fact from a relative's MacBook purchased some time later, and when I attempted the install anyway I got the error message "OS X cannot be installed on this computer." I tried re-partitioning the drive through Dual Utility, but that did not solve the issue. How can I get my MacBook working again without the original install discs?

    So you didn't clone your hard drive prior to erasing it, you just selectively backed up important data?
    What operating system level are you running? If OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion you can boot to recovery mode by holding the command and r keys down when you boot and redownload the operating system. If OS X 10.6 or 10.5, you can contact Apple support to see if they still have the original OS X disks available, or you could buy OS X 10.6 from the Apple online store (I'm told you can order them online once again or you can all them, which in the US is 800-MY-APPLE).

  • My ipod is somehow synced to another library, because I plugged the charger to a wall. How can I sync my ipod shuffle back to the original Itunes library without erasing my current data in the Ipod shuffle?

    My ipod is somehow synced to another library, because I plugged the charger to a wall. How can I sync my ipod shuffle back to the original Itunes library without erasing my current data in the Ipod shuffle?

    ",the owner sold the ipod without clearing the songs and since the songs were not puchased from the itunes store then i believe i now own the songs"
    Not true at all.
    It does not matter where the songs came from, they are not yours and the previous owner does not own the right to distribute them to others.
    The law is the same with downloads and cds and any other medium.

  • How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

    I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
    If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • HT4007 Already have Aperture 3 license, how do I install it on another Mac without rebuying it from App store?

    Already have Aperture 3 license, how do I install it on another Mac without rebuying it from App store?

    As you can see from all the replies to your question if you are not clear in describing the situation it is very difficult to try and help you.
    So first how did you originally purchase Aperture? App Store, DVD or Unlocked Trial version.
    If you purchased it from the App store if you log into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase Aperture then you will be able to install it on other systems besides the one you originally installed it on. Even though the button says Purchase you will not be charged again as lolongnd as this is the same Apple ID you used the first time.
    If you installed from DVD or Trail unlock post back.

  • When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo without the original CD?

    When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo with snow leopard without the original CD?

    Hi,
    apart from the MacBook Air this feature is of no use for other Macs right now.
    Simply ingnore it (click "I already have the Drivers...) and continue with the installation.
    Sorry to say but you need the OSX Install DVD for the BootCamp Driver installation.
    The 3.0 version of the BootCamp Drivers is only avaiable on the disc.
    Later updates (3.1 and 3.2) can be downloaded from Apples Support website.
    Call Apple and ask for a replacement and they usually send you one for a small fee.
    And have the Serial-Number of your Mac at hand when calling.
    And since the OSX Install DVD can also be vital for maintenance and repair it is best to have one.
    The needed BootCamp Drivers are on the OSX Install DVD 1 that came with your Mac.
    Insert that disc while in Windows after the Windows installation to install the drivers.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • I have already purchased iMovie for my iPad.  Is there a way to download to my MAC without having to pay again?

    I have already purchased iMovie for my iPad.  Is there a way to download to my MAC without having to pay again?

    The iPad version is for iOS devices and can't run on OS X.
    The OS X version costs 3 times as much and is a separate download.

  • Can I FaceTime someone from another country without being charged with international fees?

    Can I FaceTime someone from another country without being charged with international fees?

    here is how you actually do it put your phone in air plane mode you should see it when you open the settings app then go to wifi and turn it on this will let you use Imessage to text the person for free if they have a iPhone the same should apply for face time calling but since currently FaceTime can only be done over wifi it shouldn't charge you but the method above is what many would call a precaution ether way it should connect last resort download Skype face time app from app store setup account with both devices and you can chat over 3G or wifi without getting charged also enables connection for FaceTime to ios to android just in case any reader would like to connect to an android user that has a front facing camera.

  • Is MAC OS X v10.6.8 same as MAC OS X Snow Leopard. Since i want to download MAC OS X LION can it be downloaded on my mac which has MAC OS X v10.6.8 ??

    Is MAC OS X v10.6.8 same as MAC OS X Snow Leopard. Since i want to download MAC OS X LION can it be downloaded on my mac which has MAC OS X v10.6.8 ??

    Yes, assuming you can run Lion, & can deal with no more Save or Save As... functions...
    Lion/101.7 System requirements
        •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
        •    At least 2GB of memory, (I say 4GB)
        •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
        •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, (I say 40GB at least)
    Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
    Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.
