Can't reinstall software after hard drive change

My old hard drive failed on me last week, so I had to buy a new one. I want to reinstall my adobe suite CS5.5, but the computer just spits the disk out after a few minuets. What am I doing wrong?
I have a mac book pro, mid 2009, with Snow leopard OSX 10.6.8

You can bypass the discs and download the trial version from the page linked below. Then use your serial number to activate the software to full use.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.
CS5.5: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html
If this works, then there may be a problem with the setup of your disc drive.

Random restarts after hard drive change!!

Hi guys, I have a Late 2009 15" MacBook Pro (Unibody) A1286 that recently had a hard drive change due to the stock one coming close to failure. After a couple hours of usage, It suddenly freezes (and if i'm playing audio, it sounds like a broken record for a second) and restarts and gets the "Your computer restarted because of a problem" message. When the desktop loads, It requests to send a report to apple and provides this message:

It was a brand-new hard drive, so there shouldn't be any issues!!! Any help or ideas ? The person I got the HD from suggested it's another issue such as the power adapter or motherboard, but It started after the swap.

Back up all data, then remove the Norton/Symantec product by following the instructions on either of these pages:
Uninstalling your Norton product for Mac
Removing Symantec programs for Macintosh
If you have a different version of the product, the procedure may be different.

Can I install Snow Leopard over Lion to install old software after hard drive crashed?

My hard drive crashed and I lost everything. I have a new hard drive, but when the repair shop installed my operating system, they installed Lion and I no longer have my prior updates. My computer had been updated a few times. I have a lot of software that only can be installed up to 10.7 such as Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, Office Mac 2011, etc. I was wondering if I installed Snow Leopard over Lion, would I lose Lion? Should I install Snow Leopard and then Lion again? I don't want to damage my like new computer and I don't want to have to go out and buy all new software. Is there a solution? Thanks in advance!

Sounds complicated! If I repartition the drive and install Snow Leopard onto the blank volume, will Lion still be there? Or, will the computer basically have two operating systems that I have to go back and forth from. Is this something a novice like myself can do?

How do I reinstall after hard drive change?

Been running Lion since its release and now it will not boot up. My hard drive is one year old and Lion, thru Disk Utility, is saying that my hard drive is bad. I'm going to change my hard drive but am wondering how do I get Lion back on the new hard drive that I'm installing.

How do I uninstall and reinstall CS3 after hard drive failure?

Hi. I suffered a recent hard drive failure on a Mac Pro. I didn't have a backup, like a dummy. The hard drive fails to boot so I installed OS on new blank hard drive and attempted to drag over whatever I could see and find from old drive onto the new one. I tried to start CS3 after doing this but it gives me an error: "LIcensing for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair problem by uninstalling and reinstalling this product or contact IT Admin or Adobe Customer support" When I go to Utilities to find uninstall for Adobe the file is not there. WHen I try to reinstall from disk it says "setup error; setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. COntact Adobe Customer service support for assistance". I contacted them via chat and they told me they cannot help me and to post this issue here. Is there a way to resolve this? Am I just missing a file or something that will resolve the issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You can't install applications like that. Use the original disks to
install the software.

My Mid 2009 Macbook pro (Just purchased) will not turn on after hard drive change and ram upgrade

So i purchased a mid 2009 Macbook Pro from a guy with 4 gb of ram and 250gb hard drive. It worked perfectly fine when i booted it with his hard drive and ram installed.
I spilled beer in my old computer (late 2009 15" 500gb hard drive and 8gb ram) but took the hard drive to get tested and it worked fine. i later found out it was from a 2010.
Like an idiot i assumed the pro i just purchased would be able to handle the same upgrades that were in my old computer so i threw in the 500gb hard drive (2010) and the 8gb of ram.
The thing booted up fine, just a bit slow which i chalked up to my hard drive sitting unplugged for a long time.
After about 3 minutes it crashed on me. Confused i replaced the 4gb of original ram back into it. (the 8gb ram was pny i bought from ebay so i thought it could be that) It decided not to turn on or show any lights on the front except for the battery meter.
After this i replaced the original hard drive and still NO LUCK!! im really mad because i am in desperate need of the information on my original 500gb hard drive and im afraid i have destroyed 2 computers and about $1K worth of cash out the window.
HELP please enlighten me on what i have done and if the situation can be fixed.

UPDATE: Problem solved with the old hard drive in it, Now the less pressing issue:
Will the computer run my 500gb hard drive with all my information on it? I need to forward a resume and it is on that hard drive.

Lost serial number for microsoft office and can't reinstall on new hard drive

I recentlyt had to replace the hard drive on MacBook Pro and can't reinstall Microsoft Office because I don't have the required serial #. I think it was originally installed when I bought the computeer at an Apple store. Any ideas about how to solve this problem?

Try contacting MS and see if they have the registration code since they had to activate it originally.
Do you have the receipt from your original purchase? That will itemize what was installed beyond the packaged operating system material. That will add proof of purchase.

Reinstalling iTunes after hard drive failure

My hard drive recently failed and I have just replaced it. Downloaded and installed iTunes again. I had my iTunes library backed up on a external hard drive. I have copied the iTunes library back to internal hard drive prior to installing iTunes - but now when I go to sync my ipod's get message saying that it was synced w/different library and need to erase to sync with current library??? Also all of the playlists that I had created are gone?? Any help or thoughts on if I can recover playlists somehow? I have 3 iPods between the wife & I and do not really look forward to having to recreate several playlists.
Dell Optiplex Windows XP Pro

Hi!
It seems that your iPhone is properly connected to the Sync server and that you need to add your computer to your previous account. In order to do so:
# At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options. . In the Options window, click on the Sync tab.
# Click Set Up Firefox Sync
# Under I already have a Firefox Sync account click Connect and then select "I don't have the device with me" just below the three boxes.
If you have already created a new account in your computer and you want to log in with your Firefox Home application, "Sign out" and set up the application again. The data you are going to lose is the one in Firefox Home. If you have restored the information in your desktop browser the data will appear in your iPhone once the sync is done.
Unfortunately, Firefox Home doesn't have the ability to send the bookmarks stored there to your computer so if you need to restore them in your computer and you don't have the Sync Key to restore the account in your computer, your only option is to copy them manually.
I hope this information helps you.

Question about activation key for pre-installed software after hard drive failure.

I had a hard drive failure on my MacBook Pro last week and had it replaced by Apple. When I restored my computer with a Time Machine backup, Office 2011 wants an activation key to start up again. Problem is, I had Office pre-installed when I bought my MacBook by Apple. Where do I get the activation key to get it working again?
Thanks
Q

Do you still have the signons.sqlite and key3.db files from the IT setup?
You can find the sync account password and the sync (recovery) key in the password manager on computers where a sync account with a specific e-mail address has been set up.

Can I Restore Firefox After Hard Drive Failure?

Hi,
My Laptop Hard drive failed but i was able to save all data to an external one and put it back onto the new hard drive.
I will have to install Firefox on the laptop again, But I just want to know could i restore Firefox (Like the Bookmarks, Browsing, download, search and Visited websites History) back on the laptop like it was before the hard drive failed, Is all this data on the saved hard drive (In A Firefox Profile Folder) or would it be lost ?
Thanks

Install Firefox on your new hard drive and when you start Firefox, it will create a new profile folder in the default location. You can open that folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
In that window, go up a level to the main Profiles folder, the keep that open and return to Firefox and exit out.
Copy your old profile folder into the Profiles folder side by side with the new one. Firefox won't recognize the existence of the old folder because its name is not familiar, so you'll have to rename it. First, rename the new folder by adding _blank to the name. Then copy the name up to but not including the _blank, and use that as the new name for the folder you copied over. When you start Firefox, it should detect your copied profile folder and run with it. If your copied folder was from Firefox 23, most likely you will see Firefox check extension compatibility and show the welcome screen again.
Does that work?

How to reinstall OS after hard drive upgrade?

I Just installed a new hard drive and RAM on my MacBook 2010 white. I have the original OS disc but don't know how to install it (no instruction booklet). Any tips on what to do? Please and thanks

Thanks Niel. I was able to get it running but then it did not recognize my new drive (Crucial MX200 SSD). Apparently it's not initialized and I was told I have to remove it, connect it to an outside source with an OS and format it that way. I may have to return it to MicroCenter but I don't want to drive back there. Any suggestions or is that my only course of action? Thoughts?

Help after hard drive change - some songs not available

I had an external hard drive that started to act wonky and wouldn't mount. I was able to get to mount one last time and transfer the contents over to a new hard drive. Now every time I start iTunes there is a message about checking for gapless playback. I believe there are 82 tracks. It goes by rather fast so it is hard to read each and every title. The ones I have read upon checking I find that the songs have no content. They just don't exist. When you go to control I instead of the track showing the length it shows Not Available. Is there anyway to search my hard drive to find out which tracks are having a problem?

Go to the Dougscripts web site and get the script called ListMIAs
