Can't get past "please insert disk"

I am trying to install CS5, it is asking me to insert disk, but it is already in. I can't get past this point. I have never had this problem before.

As an alternative try copying the contents of the disk to your hard drive and run the installer from your hard drive.
Thanks

Just restore your bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup.

Purchased Lion, installed it - once I log in - i get the curtain and message to hold the power button till it shuts down. Worked with the disk repair utility - fixed permissions - still can't get past the "black curtain of death" any suggestions?

My machine was patched to date 10.x.x. I was lucky to get an internet connection and I selected the option to re-download Lion... its curruently being downloaded. What if that doesn't work?
Any thougths would be appreciated.

And you have a workstation? not a notebook.
Usually a driver or hardware, nothing that Disk utility will fix.
You know of course what a Prohititory Sign is?

My iPhone gone mad can't turn off voice control which turned on by itself now can't access phone as can't get past my screen lock! Also it keeps calling random people in my contacts help please

iPhone 4 gone mad voice control taken over phone, can't get past my screen lock it won't respond at all, keeps dialling random people won't do anything at all!!! Even when go on voice control screen and hold power off and home screen down nothing No response. Help please? My mother very sick in hospital and need my mobile!!

Have you tried to power off and on? If that doesn't work and the reset didn't work, have you tried connecting to iTunes to see if it is recognized?
If none of this works you probably need to visit an Apple genius bar and have it checked out by the techs.

Can't get past "Find My iPod" set-up screen, please help :(

Hi, so I just bought an iPod Touch, to replace my old iPod Nano. I downloaded the latest iTunes, plugged in my iPod, clicked on the iPod's icon in the bar on the left, did the register thing... then it came up with a completely unformatted block of text which looks like this:
"Free Find My iPhone
Free Find My iPad
Free Find My iPod touch

You can also find your iPad or iPod touch.Set up Find My iPad for free so you can locate your device if you lose it, remotely lock the screen, or wipe its data.

Find My iPhone (or iPad or iPod touch) enables you to locate your iPad with Wi-Fi or iPod touch only when it is on and connected to a registered Wi-Fi network. Find My iPhone is not available in all countries."
This was in the iTunes window. There were hyperlinks (or whatever the in-application equivalent is) on "Learn More", "Not Now", and "Set up Find My iPhone
Set up Find My iPad
Set up Find My iPod touch"
When I click on any of the links, nothing happens I can't get past this screen to sync my iPod. Please help!
When I right-clicked on the "Not Now" link and then clicked "copy link", this is what it copies: javascript:gotoNextStep();
Don't know if that helps at all.
I go through a lot of firewalls that aren't under my control (I use a high school's internet to cut a long story short) if that is relevant.

Garygargar is spot on. Just unplugged my network cable and relaunched Itunes. Got past that FindMe screen, plugged the cable back in, wait 10 seconds, and on my way.
I love it when the first google search result is the actual fix for something!

On my iPhone 4, I cannot get the "not enough storage on iCloud" message to close. Therefore, I can't get past this box/screen AND I can't turn the device off. Please help.

Try resetting it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing. You won't lose any data by doing this.

HT203176 My computer gets bogged down in disk utility "gathering disk information." I can't get past this to reach the first aid tab. The little icon just keeps going round and round. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

My Mac crashed today for the first time in the seven years I have owned it. I was working in Photoshop. It had been getting slower and slower in Photoshop. Now I can't start the computer at all. Using the Installer CD, I can't get through to use the Disk Utility to try to fix it. The computer gets bogged down in disk utility "gathering disk information."

You may have had a hard drive failure. Have you been hearing any unusual sounds? Have you been getting messages about a full hard drive?

Please insert disk Adobe Design Web Premium 6 English Japan to continue.

Help. I recently purchased the program Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium. I was trying to load the program to my computer (Windows 8.1) but couldn't get past this window "Please insert disk Adobe Design Web Premium 6 English Japan to continue." I only received one disk labeled "Professional Media Kit" and the serial number when I ordered the program. How do I get the program to load? Am I missing a disk? We couldn't get anyone at website we ordered the product from to respond. Quick at taking our money but no help afterwards.

Iderga are you able to register your serial number at http://www.adobe.com/? You can find more details on how to accomplish this at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html. I would recommend registering your serial number to verify that it is valid.
You can download a fresh copy of the installation files at Download CS6 products.

Welcome to the Discussions!
The first thing to do would be to boot from your original Disk 1 by:
1. Inserting the disc, pressing the power button, and immediately after the startup chime, press and hold the C key until you see the spinning gear icon appear on the grey splash screen.
2. After the machine has booted, pick your language, and when the Installer window appears, do not press Continue, but go to the Utilities menu in the menubar and open Disk Utility.
3. In Disk Utility, choose your normal startup volume in the pane on the left and then click Repair Disk. If any errors show in the window, run Repair Disk again until you see 'The volume appears to be OK' in green.
4. Quit Disk Utility, quit the installer and attempt to restart into your regular startup volume.
Please update your profile so we have a clearer picture of your particular machine.

MacOS Tiger instalation problem. I can't get past disc 2

Greetings everyone. Today I wanted to format my computer and reinstall 10.4 I use CD's though. So I installed disc 1 and I diddnt realize that I lost disc 2. anyway when I restart the computer all I get is "Please insert disc 2" no option to cancel no option for anything. I can still open the computer in a termal by pressing ctrl-s at startup. So my question is, is there a files in there that I have to delete to bypass the rest of the instalation? If not I will have to buy the whole 10.4 because since I bought it so long ago apple won't supply me with any recovery option.
now I'm on a windows computer llooking @ my laptop wondering what I can do. If anyone knows a way around this please let me know
peace

Call 1-800-MY-APPLE and request replacement disks. Might have to pony up a few bucks, but until you have a complete set of installation disks in hand, you're dead in the water, without the proverbial paddle.

Can't get past the licensing screen in Premier Element 10. I've had the program for 2 years with no problems at all. Suddenly the licensing window shows up and won't go away. AMD processor - ASUS MOBO - Win 7x64

Out of the clear blue - the Premier Elements Organize "Licensing Agreement" shows up on my screen. I click "Accept" - it goes away - and within 5 seconds pops up again. I can't get past it. I've used the program successfully for over 2 years. Anybody else having this problem? I use Win 7 x64, I have TONS of disk space (read over 570 GB free on "C Drive"). I have 12GB of DDR3 Memory. I'm using an AMD 6 Core processor with an ASUS mobo. All other programs work fine including several other Adobe programs.

Thanks for the follow up. Sorry the news is not better.
Have you done a Tools/Error Checking for the Local Disk C?
Then, maybe
In your uninstall/reinstall troubleshooting, have you
a. uninstalled using the usual Control Panel route
b. did a ccleaner run through with its regular and registry cleaning parts
CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
c. reinstall with antivirus and firewalls Off.
I have been doing some searches....any chance you have a RAID configuration change in your computer environment?
Can you right clicked the program desktop icon and select Run As Administrator? If so, please do so. Are you still running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
You might want to take a look at some of my encounters with activating Premiere Elements and see if there is anything in that which applies to your situation.

Is your input that you can get paid technical advice from Adobe Tech? I am not sure if it offers (even for a fee) troubleshooting for earlier versions.
Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
Thanks.
