Clean install Yosemite - can't transfer Lightroom to new system - Creative Cloud says I have it, other progs fine.

Hi Everyone
I've done a clean install of Yosemite on another hardrive - (Creative Cloud member) re-loading of all other software has worked fine.
Creative Cloud loader says I have Lightroom and it's uptodate - I haven't downloaded it onto the new system yet (clicking icon goes through basic install) - it wants a a serial number, I have checked on the Mavericks system and the last 4 digits are blanked.
I have signed out of Creative Cloud on Mavericks - returning to Yosemite, no change to Lightroom status.
Can anyone help with this situation - can't Uninstall Lightroom on old system, same in Yosemite, if I try to boot it from other drive/system (Mavericks) from Yosemite Trial version or serial number request, stuck with software I've rented and can't use.
Adrian CB

Hello Rikk
Many thanks for your reply.
Just to make it clear - I have not installed Lightroom 5 on the Yosemite system, it is only on the other hardrive and Mavericks. I have checked what is on Yosemite releating to Lightroom - there are 2 files for L5, one is in System - Library - App Support - Adobe, this file is a serial no. reference, the other is in User - Library - App Support - Adobe, these are a set of Folders for Presets, Sets & galleries etc..
From the CCloud loader Lightroom 5 will not allow Uninstall, there is nothing (program) to uninstall - it has occurred to remove the files I have mentioned to another drive and see if CCloud loader finally acknowledges it is not on the Yosemite system.
It does seem that these files are indicating to the CC loader prog that it is on Yosemite - so, if I removed the files - more particularly the serial number file - logged out of CCloud, logged back in and hope Lightroom is available to download. Do I continue if the download is for trial/serial number version - and then put back the serial number file to have it usable?
Regards Adrian CB

  • Creative Cloud says I have multiple versions installed

    My list of apps shows CC and CC (2014) versions of all my apps installed. I only see the current versions when I search my HD. (The CC 2014 ones.)
    Should I uninstall the "old" versions? Will this screw up my system. Not interesting in creating havoc. Just wanted to clean up my list.
    Thanks for any help.

    Adobe still versions the CC apps similarly to when they were CS apps. About once a year they will update all of the creative apps to a new version. CC 2014 is essentially CC2. There is no reason that you should need both versions, but I would make sure you preferences for each app have transferred over before uninstalling.
    If the apps are not showing up on your hard drive though, it could just be a glitch with the CC desktop app. In which case you shouldn't run into any issues if you were to click on the gear next to the "Up to date" text in the list and click "Uninstall".
    Hope that helps.

  • How do I launch Lightroom 5.3 from Creative Cloud?

    I downloaded and installed Lightroom 5.3 from Creative Cloud.  I have been trying for 4 days to launch Lightroom.  Each time I try,Adobe asks for a serial number or wants to know if I want to try Lightroom 5.3 for 30 days.  I use an iMac 10.9.1.file:///Users/cawhet1/Desktop/Screen%20Shot%202014-02-18%20at%207.55.37%20PM.png.

    Hi Crystal
    I believe there have been a good number of similar instances affecting CC users. It’s worth checking your purchase history to ensure you are properly subscribed. Go to Adobe.com and near the top right of the page log-in to My Adobe, unless you are already logged-in; in which case it will say welcome next to your name.
    Click on My Orders and this should show your latest invoicing. You can expand each section by clicking the small disclosure triangle icon to the left of each date.
    Then click on My Products and Services. Under the products section, which sometimes takes a few seconds to refresh, you should find Lightroom and if you expand the details it should contain an automatically generated serial number.
    The only suggestion I have is to Launch Lightroom again and if you see the trial screen click on licence this product and enter the serial number.
    It should not really be necessary with a CC app but let us know if that works.

  • Can you clean install Yosemite?

    My iMac is becoming a bit sluggish so I would like to take the opportunity for a clean install with Yosemite. Can I clean install Yosemite as you could with Mavericks by using ctrl -R, erasing the hard drive, reformatting and then using internet recovery?
    Late 2012 iMac
    Currently on latest OSX Mavericks - OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)

    Rather than an unnecessary clean install answer some questions about the slowness to see if we can determine what is causing the problem.  What exactly is slowing down, booting, a application or applications, which ones, etd.?

  • Instructions to clean install Yosemite to a fusion drive

    Hi everyone this is Chris. I have recently purchased a new i mac 27 inch with a 1tb fusion drive. When i tried clean installing yosemite to the fusion drive i noticed that only the 1tb mechanical hard drive appeared. The 128gb ssd portion was missing and yes i checked in diskutil list but it is non existent. Also i noticed that logical volume partition was missing in disk utility so it looks like the yosemite install didnt also set up the ssd as i thought it would. I am attaching a screen shot of disk utility and diskutil list for reference. Could some one please help me with step by step instructions from booting the usb installer till the final installation. I am a new mac user and as such have little experience with the way the os and systems work. The reason i tried to clean install is because i like having control over everything running on my computer and i like to keep a clean system from the beginning. I am willing to learn just how mac osx functions so please help me learn how all these various software works on the i mac so i can use it as much as i did my old windows pc. Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

    I concur with Kappy, you do not have a Fusion Drive in that Mac.
    You said; "The reason i tried to clean install is because i like having control over everything running on my computer and i like to keep a clean system from the beginning."
    Personally I disagree with your reasoning for a so called "clean" install. Unlike Windows, if you install OS X just doing an upgrade, it does not have to same habit as the Windows installer which can load a PC with tons of crap.
    My suggestion is to find out why your 128 GB SSD is not appearing rather then worrying about any "clean" installs.

  • How to get iPhoto and iTunes to a clean installed Yosemite from Time Machine

    I wiped the Hard Drive and clean installed to OS X Yosemite. For Some reason, some of my Time Machine back ups disappeared or got deleted and it wasn't even full. I had back ups from 2011 and now it only starts from 2013 of June.
    Next....when I try to restore my other apps(like iPhoto and my iTunes) I doesn't give that warp space effect in the background. It gives me the window layer effect but I just see the same mountain background on the desktop as the default Yosemite(unless thats how its suppose to look like that?) I can't restore using Time Machine because the little lines at the right are red (see screen shot) and it won't let me restore, and if i go back by using the arrows, if freezes. So,
    I don't know how to install the old iTunes and iPhoto on my existing clean installed Yosemite from my Time Machine.
    Can someone help me?

    @ LarryHN Thank you ver much for you help I understand now that you just can't copy over the old library(got it)
    I had the latest version of iPhoto before I cleaned installed.
    The link you gave me was most informative and I want to thank you. But still problems arrive.
    This came up and I don't know which one to pick

  • Issues While Attempting to Clean Install Yosemite onto 2010 iMac 27"

    Having a number of issues trying to clean install Yosemite onto a 2010 iMac 27.
    The original 1TB HDD was about to die so I upgraded the hard drive to a Crucial SSD, via an Apple Authorized shop
    Memory was also upgraded to 16GB (from the original 4GB)
    The install process won't finish, as I get a disk error message from the computer
    Since there's no fan control cable attached to the HDD anymore, the fan is on constantly (but I know this is a known / common issue so I will be fixing it via an app like HDD Fan Control)
    The installation process keeps starting over
    What is causing this installation issue? How can I fix and move forward?
    Thanks in advance for help anyone can provide.

    I've also tried an alternate method of installing - installing Yosemite onto an external hard drive then cloning this drive onto the SSD installed on the iMac. The computer keeps rebooting. This is the message that pops up. Growing increasingly frustrated. Is this a hardware issue related to the new SSD?

  • Clean Install Yosemite onto new SSD (Also, what is TRIM?)

    Hi,
    I've been researching how to replace the Hard Drive on my Late 2011 13inch Macbook Pro (MacBookPro8,1 / 2.4 GHz / Intel Core i5 / SATA III) with a new SSD (maybe a Samsung 840 EVO) and clean install Yosemite onto it. I've found a few ways to do this on the support forums and the macrumors forum, but I want to confirm if I can do it this way:
    1. Plug new SSD into the Macbook via a USB cable
    2. Download Yosemite onto current Macbook Hard Drive. When I'm prompted to install, chose the new SSD from the list. Complete Installation.
    3. Remove old Hard Drive from Macbook and plug new SSD in it's place (and not in the optical bay).
    Would this work? I have another external hard drive with all of my documents, pictures and music on which I'm just going to manually remove over, and have no problem doing. I can also download the iLife programs directly from the App Store so I wouldn't be missing out on those either (I do have the iLife '09 discs too). I've also read about creating a bootable USB using DiskMaker X, but I feel the route I outlined would be easier.
    Am I missing anything? I do have the EFI Firmware v2.7, so the problems the 2011 MacBooks were having with SATA shouldn't be an issue during this. Also, during my research, I found a references to something called TRIM. Can someone explain TRIM to me?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Thanks for the response and confirming I can clean install Yosemite onto a new SSD using the process I listed in my initial post.
    I have a 13'' MacBook Pro with Yosemite already installed onto it so my graphics card should be set. After almost a month of using it, I haven't noticed any issues on that end.
    I guess this TRIM thing is a totally separate subject from this thread. I read Apple is no longer supporting third-party SSD for TRIM support. If you turn it on, but keep a security feature on, you risk your computer not booting correctly. It looks like the only way to have TRIM enabled on a SSD using Yosemite is to have an Apple supplied SSD, or an SSD that can trick Yosemite into thinking it's Apple supplied (like the Angelbird Wrk for Mac SSD).
    I've also done a good amount of research that TRIM is only necessary if you're saving a lot of items to the hard drive in one sitting (like photoshop). I primarily use my Mac for Pages (which saves my documents into the cloud now), iTunes and Safari. I guess this would fit me into the "casual user' criteria? I've also read that if you don't use TRIM, your SSD uses "Garbage Collection" (which actually sounds terrible) to keep the SSD informed on what data can be overwritten since it's been deleted by the user. I read that most modern SSD hard drives have a pretty decent Garbage Collection function, so if you leave your computer idle, keep "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" unchecked, the SSD will run Garbage Collection on it's own and that should be sufficient enough to keep the SSD in good working order.

  • After a clean install, how can I continue using Time Machine?

    After a clean install, how can I continue using Time Machine?
    I booted from my recovery partition, erased my HD, installed the same OS, (Lion, 10.7.5) then restored from my TM.
    If it asks if i want to use TM, I say yes. When I chose the drive, it seems to want to start all over, instead of just picking up where I left off.
    Is there any way of picking up where I left off?

    Hi Frank,
    You are sure you looking in your Library in /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library and not /Library at the top level of your harddrive?
    When you open iCal what do you see?  Are the calendars the two default Home and Work ones?
    I really appreciate the responses -- especially if you are in the UK as opposed to Ontario.
    Why, do you have something against London Ontario?

  • How to clean install Yosemite

    How to clean install Yosemite on imac 10.9.5

    Why?
    Doing an erase and install of OS X is usually just a waste of time.
    I recommend that you just upgrade and test it first.

  • HT201475 clean install yosemite

    Hello, I am looking for instructions on how to clean install Yosemite as the reviews on the apple store all say there are problems simply downloading the upgrade. I have 10.8.5 and need to know how to reformat disk and do a clean install. I have a time machine.
    Thanks,

    I had no problems with the Upgrade. People who have problems with just upgrading usually have system modifications installed that don't work with Yosemite.
    If you install anything with an installer, you need to check for updates prior to upgrading your OS. If there aren't any updates available, you need to be prepared to uninstall that system mod if you run into problems.
    Depending on how much junk you install on your Mac, erasing and installing might just be the best solution over updating the system mods.
    To erase and install, you will need to boot into Recovery and erase the hard drive using Disk Utility. Then, Quit DU and reinstall the OS.
    That will install Mavericks (10.8.5).
    Note that things like iPhoto, iMovie, etc. are not part of the OS. You will need to either re-download them from the App Store or install from the DVDs that came with your Mac.
    When the Setup Assistant runs during first boot, choose to Migrate from your Time Machine backup. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204350

  • Clean install Yosemite stuck at terms and conditions on MacBook Pro

    Hello,
    I'm clean installing Yosemite on my MacBook Pro, which I downloaded from the app store and booted from the recovery partition
    The install has gone fine, but it is now stuck at the 'Terms and Conditions' window - it looks like it's trying to load the terms and conditions, but all I have is the spinning disk and 'agree' and 'back' are greyed out
    It's been that way for over twenty minutes
    Anyone got any ideas? Is it safe to hard-reset and see if it clears it next time?
    Thanks,
    Wes
