Can't install Ai CS5 on my new Macbook Pro

I recently purchased a new MBP and I'm trying to install Illustrator CS5 from the disk. After going through the initial steps and entering my serial number it begins the install but then immediately says "Please insert disk Adobe Illustrator CS5 to continue" when the disk is already installed. I've been told that I could download a trial version of CS5 and enter my S/N that way but I can't find one! PLEASE HELP!

Yes it seems CS5 works on the Macs running Maverick but you have to up date java on the Mac or CS 5 once install will not launch.
So once you have it installed then you go here to upgrade java.
This may have been fix and it might not be necessary but if it does not launch follow the link

Can't uninstall Photoshop CS5 on my new MacBook Pro

I migrated everything from my old laptop to my new MacBook Pro. I can't uninstall Adobe CS5 now from my new MacBook Pro. How can I do this?

In Finder, go to Applications. Find what you dont want and drag it to the Trash.

Can i install snow leopard on my new macbook pro

I'm looking at a new laptop but I understand Adobe CS4 won't work on Lion, so I'd rather install Snow Leopard on the new macbook. Is this possible?

Difficult, and even reported "success" is likely not consistent enough for your *need* for Adobe CS4.
You can try for a unit off the refurbished list (Apple.com > Store, bottom of the left hand margin is the link). Units from pre-July and last year can be found, and come with warranties just like brand new.

Can I install IWorks 9 on my new MacBook Pro along with the free version now included ?

I have IWorks 09 for my Mac desktop. I'm purchasing a MacBook Pro shortly and would like to have the same version of IWorks on both PCs. Can I install IWorks 09 on the MacBook which comes with the new version of IWorks pre-installed ? Or, can I delete the free version and install the 09 version ? I'm relatively new to Macs so this is probably a beginner question.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
New Macs don't come with iWork preinstalled. You have to download it from the Mac App Store.
What you can do is to use Migration Assistant to transfer the files you want, and include Applications, so your iWork apps will be transferred. You will be asked to transfer files from another PC or Mac during the setup of the MacBook Pro.
Then, open the Mac App Store, go to Purchases and download the new iWork applications versions free of charge. By doing this, you will have the old and the new version

How can I install Office 2008 on my new MacBook Pro Retina?

I have a license key and a cd to install from, but no slot in my MacBook to insert the CD into. I heard I can download Office 2008 from the Microsoft website, can anyone supply me with a link to the download? Not the30-day trial, the full version. Can anyone tell me if Office 2008 will work on the Retina display because I've read reviews about how it didn't in the past and should now (thanks to updates).

Office 2008 will work with Mountain Lion, but it isn't retina compatible and would probably be too much strain on the eyes to work with. Purchase Office 2011 or Pages. LibreOffice is free and may be retina compatible, but I personally have never used it.
If you are willing to install 2008 and give it a try then just download the trial and then you can upgrade the trial to the full version using the license key you have.

Wonder if anyone can help? Have just bought a new Macbook pro and installed FCP7. I thought that I would get quicktime pro as standard but stuck with QTX. Downloaded QT7 but it won't let me install it. Says I can't do install as I already have QTX. Does FCP not come with QTpro or am I jsut being stupid. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks. B

Are you running Lion or Snow Leopard? either way this may help by the looks of it.

I have iWork 09 with a family license. I am unable to install the software on my new Macbook Pro (the message is simply "Installation failed"). I wonder if I need to remove an old computer from the family license, and if so, how?

I have iWork 09 with a family license. I am unable to install the software on my new Macbook Pro (the message is simply "Installation failed"). I wonder if I need to remove an old computer from the family license, and if so, how?

Yes, gladly. I am trying to install on a 13" MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.3. I insert the disk into the SuperDrive. The I work '09 window pops up with two icons: one Tim install and one that says "Read before you install iWork." I double-click on the "Install iWork '09" icon, and a window appears that says, "This package will run a program to determine if the software can be installed." I click "continue" and see "Welcome to the iWork '09 installer." I click on "Continue." The "read me" bullet on the left lights up, and I see "Read before you install. . . ." I click "Continue," then see the software license agreement. When I click on "Continue" again, I am asked to agree, and I do. The window then says, "Standard Install on 'Mackintosh HD" and indicates how much space the program will take.
I click "Install," enter my password, and the installation begins. It goes through a validating phase and begins "writing files." It indicates that installation will take about 30 minutes (although that number fluctuates). After about four minutes it goes to "cleaning up." Then after just a few seconds, the "Summary" bullet on the left lights up and this message appears: "There were errors with the installation. You may want to try installing again." There is a large yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it, and a bold "The installation failed." Below that appears "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
At that point, a "Close" button is pulsating blue at the bottom of the window.
Sorry for the tedious detail. Anything revealing there?
Thanks!

How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?

How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?

I'm assuming your dvd drive is broken? if you have a thumb drive large enough (8GB or better), you can use another computer to make a bootable image from the install dvd to the thumb drive. then you can install from the the thumb drive.

Can't install windondows 8.1 on my macbook pro - format issue

Can't install windondows 8.1 on my macbook pro - format issue
Running latest version of Mavericks.
Followed the exact bootcamp proceduce.
Have official window 8.1 version on cd.
All goes well until I have to format the 65Gb partition. Disk=0 and partition=4
Can't get over it. Altough I formatted it via a hint found on the internet with "dislpart" in NTFS. Wich also went weel and give the labelname "BOOTCAMP". But still no luck.
I have two questions:
1/ How to start my mac again in normal mavericks mode?
2/ How can I overcome the windows installation issue?
Tried already a lot of hints found on the internet.

First, make a time machine backup. You will need to erase ands reformat your hard drive. I had the same issue. The issue is that you can't install Windows using bootcamp without having the hard drive formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Do this from disk utility or recovery mode (hold down command and r at startup). Then you have to restore the backup to the hard drive. Then make a usb installer drive with bootcamp and then partition and install. Here's a tip: after you install bootcamp and are in the Windows desktop, go into the installer drive and then go into the bootcamp or support folder, then find a installer that contains the Apple bootcamp drivers. Also, you will need to convert the disk to an iso file. TO MAKE THE USB DRIVE FROM A DISC, USE THIS LINK
