Cannot reinstall Elements 10 as no DVD Drive

Hi,
I have the physical version of Elements 10 and want to install it on my new MacBook Air that does not have a DVD drive.
The Serial numbers have been registered here but all the download links point me to Elements 11, not 10.
So how can I install it on the new computer and aply my existing serial numbers ?
Thanks

Hi,
It is a Mac
I have copied Disks 3 and 5 to seperate folders on a memoery stick and then gone to the Photoshop subfolder of Disk 3 in the stick and hit install. It starts normally and I have entered my Serial and all seems good then when it gets to the install screen it says: Please insert Disk PEPE 10 Mac to continue.
I cannot redirect it to install from the stick. Is there a file somewhere I can change to point it in the right direction ?

Reinstall Elements 8 after Hard drive crash

I need to see how to reinstall Elements after my hard drive was replaced. My version of Elements was a download from Adobe.
Thank you

Did you make the backup of downloaded software? Generally people tend to make backups of all software they buy digitally including a record of the necessary serial number for events like you are describing.
If you try to login to your account at Adobe then you might find a link and the serial number otherwise try thios link:

You will need serial number to activate this product otherwise it would be a complete waste of time downloading such a big file again.
Good luck.

I have the disks from my initial installation of elements 10. My computer crashed and I cannot reinstall elements on the new one. What's wrong?

I cannot reinstall elements 10 from the disks I have. My original computer crashed. I would like to retrieve the work that I have in elements and continue. What can I do?@

hi rick,
don't forget that, in fact, your photos were not "contained" in photoshop, but on the hard disk of your ( now crashed ? ) computer. Tell us something about that crashed machine: do you still have it , did someone try to retrieve some info out of it, what was the diagnostic of repairmen, etc...Did you have a backup of these photos ?

Cannot Read Files off CD/DVD Drive

I realize there are several similarly titled posts on this topic, but I have not found the problem I have. Computer: Pavilion tx2000CTO. O/S: Vista Home Premium (all updates current).
Issue: Some CD's and DVD's cannot be read completely. I CAN navigate the directory structure. I CAN see the files. I CANNOT open them. When I attempt to open from the DVD drive, nothing happens. No errors or other messages. When I attempt to copy to the HDD, I get the error "cannot read from the source file or disk". This does not happen on all disks, but I cannot find any pattern between when i can or cannot read. All of these disks are readable on other systems.
Note: similar for media files or disks. Some readable, some not.
Thanks for your help!

I mean raw format, though you mean your disc is mounted, however you can't read the files on the disc?

Satellite L300-19U - How can I reinstall Vista without working DVD drive?

Hello
I have a big problem with my notebook Toshiba Satellite L300-19U.
I did installed 1month ago Windows XP on it and now is my DVD-ROM broken, it didn't read DVD just CD's. So I can't use my Vista recovery DVD to reinstall Vista. Did anyone had the same problem?
I heard there is a partition (hiden) where the recovery is on it. How I can find this partition? And if I find her, can I boot directly from the partition to recover Vista? If no,is there a other chance to recover it?
Please help me to reinstall the Vista recovery partition!

Hi!
The hidden partition that you mean is a Windows Vista feature but you cant restore Vista with this partition. The point is that the partition is also deleted because you have installed Windows XP on it.
Restoring Vista without recovery disk is only possible if Vista is still installed on it. Then you can go in the advanced boot menu and select repair my computer. Then you can choose the Toshiba HDD recovery option. This is a feature that restores Vista from the second partition.
But as I said only possible with installed Vista.
Just one question: Why do you dont go to an authorized service provider? If your notebook is still under warranty you should get a new CD/DVD drive for free. Normally it should only take few days and then you are able to install Vista again! :)

How to reinstall OS with dead DVD drive?

Hi everyone. I recently upgraded to a new MacBook, and have an iBook G4 which I want to sell. Unfortunately the DVD drive has died in it. I put it in target disk mode, hooked it up to the MacBook, did a secure wipe of the hard drive, and then (mistakenly) thought I could run the installer from my MacBook and install a fresh copy of the OS on the iBook. You used to be able to do this sort of thing back in the old OS9 days, but when I try and boot the old installer on my MacBook it says that it can't be used on this machine, and when I try and run the installer on the MacBook it tells me to reboot the machine.
Is there any way to do this? Or am I going to have to replace the DVD drive before I sell it?
Message was edited by: Mac VFX Artist

I understand the concept, but will that work? This is an Intel machine, whereas the iBook is Motorola. I have a PowerPC Tiger installation disk. If I try and install it the MacBook thinks I'm trying to install a PowerPC OS and won't let me do it. If I use the MacBook install disk it will (I believe) install an Intel OS on a PowerPC computer. (Or will it install a UB OS?)
I even went into the individual installers at Install/Disk/Installation/Packages/ and ran OSInstall.mkpg. This boots, but when it gets to the list of disks it won't let me install on any external drives, saying "Mac OS X cannot start up from this volume," presumably because I'm trying to install a PowerPC OS.
Ugh!

How do I reinstall jaguar if my dvd drive doesn't work?

My powerbook g4 will not go past the grey startup screen. I have tried everything to repair it, except for a reinstall due to the fact that my dvd drive is broken. I have run data rescue II from my girlfriends macbook pro and was able to recover the data that I hadn't backed up. I then ran diskwarrior from an iBook G4 (diskwarrior won't work on the macbooks) but diskwarrior could not find any data. The only thing left I can think of to do is do a clean reinstall 10.2. Is it possible to do that if the install cd is running from another computer? If yes, can it be done from a macbook pro? I don't have access to an external dvd drive. Any help would be much appreciated!!!
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

"Is it possible to do that if the install cd is running from another computer?"
Yes: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
"If yes, can it be done from a macbook pro?"
No, as the MBP is an intel based Mac and will not run the 10.2 CD. Use the iBook.

Reinstalling OS from external DVD drive

How do I reinstall the OS from a DVD in an external DVD drive connected to the USB port on my MacBook?
Thank you.

I don't think you can, only via the external optical drive.
You can try a USB though, or install on a external drive, then option boot from it then clone it to the external drive.

Notebook NB200 cannot boot from USB CD/DVD drive / flashing cursor

I have a toshiba nb200-11L just under 2 years old (no warranty!). Recently it developed a problem which prevents it from booting up and all that happens is that I get a flashing cursor in the top left corner of a black screen. The only options availavle are F2 and F12 but these will not allow me to enter either safemode or to use the toshiba recovery option.
I have purchased the toshiba recovery disk on cd rom in order to complete a re-install but the bios only shows HDD and FDD as options, and there does not appear to be any way of adding further options.
I have checked the hard drive which appears to be ok. I am concerned that the problem may be the motherboard which I suspect will make any repair uneconomical.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks. Keith

I do not know what BIOS version it is, but I have set the BIOS to default. I suspect that there may be a problem with the external dvd drive, as I have plugged it in to another laptop and it is not being recognised. I am going to try another one tomorrow - fingers crossed!

How do I reinstall Elements 8 after Hard Drive Crash

C Drive irreparably crashed. The PSE8 catalog folder was in C:\Documents and Settings\All users\Adobe, etc. and was backed up on a different drive (Yay Me!). The Pictures were in E:\ Elements Pictures\ (117 GB). When Windows was reinstalled, the Drive Letters were changed by the reinstall program, such that the Windows boot drive is now the E drive and the Pictures are on the D: drive, but still in their original folder. (Ultimately, the plan to get a new Drive, rename it C, and reinstall Windows on it.)
It appears that I cannot use "Backup and Restore" as is the common response to "How do I move Elements and Pictures to a new Computer?"
I can reinstall PSE8 on my E (boot) drive, then replace the new catalog folder with the old one which has my data. How do I then get that catalog to look to the Pictures on the drive which has a new letter (D)? I cannot reinstate the old drive letter, as that letter is now in use as the boot drive letter.
Am I better off just waiting for the new C drive, reinstalling Windows there, replacing the catalog folder, and relettering the Pictures drive to its old Letter? It may be awhile before I get the new C drive as I am waiting for Seagate to replace under warranty the dead drive, and would like to if at all possible continue to use PSE8 in the interim.
Many Thanks in advance for your advice.

Reinstalling itunes removes my dvd drive

I cannot burn playlists to disc from itunes. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. The error message i get is "disc burner or software not found." I try to update the driver for the drive then it disappears from "devices" altogether. I did successfully get the DVD to write to a disc with my Quicken software at one point but it was still not recognized by itunes. I have followed article TS2372 to disable device filters, with an end result of "driver failed to update" and the device (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T50N) then disappeared again from devices altogether. I tried "windows fix it center" but ended up with this result "beta test for windows 7 users is complete" it would not help me. Tried contacting LG for driver update but they said that Windows should update driver and the drive was no longer supported by the manufacturer. Windows update will not find driver. I welcome any new suggestions as i haven't been able to burn a disc from itunes in months.

This is sounding a bit like an AFS.sys issue.
Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:

Cannot reinstall Elements PSE10 - Windows 7 64-bit - rollback - Shared Technologies

I am trying to reinstall Photoshop Elements 10 - previously worked fine on previous laptop (also running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit).
Installs PSE10; installs Organizer; installs Shared Technologies then 'rolls back' and fails with error:
"The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 could be completely installed.
Below mentioned application has failed to install:
Shared Technologies"
Have tried suggestions from here: https://forums.adobe.com/search.jspa?q=photoshop+elements+10+shared+technologies+rollback& place=%2Fplaces%2F1413788
Originally suspected problem with serial number (too many previous installations?) but have 'de-registered' at least one of them ... and anway the same error arises if I try a trial install (i.e. with no serial number).
Will happily upload log file if someone can remind me where it is ...
(Incidentally, why is Chat "24 hours a day, 7 days a week" apparently never available in UK???!?!?).
Thanks in advance ...

if any part of pse10 is installed uninstall it.
then run the cleaner, http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
then restart your computer.
