Downloading instead of using disks

I bought Adobe Photoshop several years ago (via disks). I'm getting a new laptop that doesn't have a disk drive. If I still have my adobe disk and serial number, can I download adobe from the website without charge?

How can I download Firefox onto a disk from my Windows PC, and then take the disk to my Mac and upload it to use on the Mac? Safari does not work anymore.

My Mac assures me that I am connected to the internet, using Airport and also ethernet, but Safari never gives me a home page. Can I download Firefox onto a disk using my Windows PC and then take the disk to the Mac and upload Firefox to use on the Mac ?

You can grab a "full" installer (.dmg file) from this page (scroll down to your preferred language):

I have bought the Lightroom 5 disk last december but I mistakenly misplaced the case that had the serial number on it. I need that number to download it otherwise, the disk is no use. Is there any way I can get someone where else?

Please read this: Find your serial number quickly
Also, please consider a safer method of retaining your serial numbers in the future (for all software, not just Lightroom)

I download dmg files but cannot be open (not recognised). If I try try to use disk utility, it says the disk image unable to attach. Could someone pls help? Thnx

Hi, I am trying to install some programs (on mac book pro mac osx 10.6.8) that are downloaded in "dmg" file format. These are antivirus and security related programs. Unfortunately when I try to open the downloaded file, this does not open and I get message it is not recognised. I have also tried using Disk Utility but I get an error "unable to attach"l. This just started recently. I have downloaded the file several times but same problem recurs. Thanks for your help
PS: Other files directly downloaded from apple work fine.

They screwed up the first Flashback removal tool very badly, locking several users out of their accounts permanently. It took a day or so for them to react and post a revised tool, but the damage had been done.
They are one of several formerly PC only vendors who rushed to the Mac front back in the spring after the Flashback scare. I would advise giving all of those folks time to prove they really understand OS X before installing it on any of my Macs. There are several others who have proven themselves.
Since you are running what I assume to be a fully up-to-date OS X 10.6.8 you are not vulnerable to any currently known malware capable of impacting OS X or other Mac software. That's no guarantee there won't be something new show up tomorrow, but the chances of any commercial anti-malware software catching it before Apple can react is pretty slim, IMHO.
Now if you are concerned about Windows malware, that's a different story.

I can't move downloads onto my desktop nor can I move folders around desktop. Have been having trouble with iPhoto also. "Terminal" has shown up on my dock for the first time. I tried repairing using disk utilities.

I have the same issue-was there ever a solution that worked? Thanks.

I am now using 10.6.8. Downloaded Maverick but cannot update OS on HD because get message the disk is not formatted as Mac OS extended(journaled). Tried to use Disk Utility as per instruction but cannot complete operation.

Barney-15E:
The partition method worked after some trepidation. I got the spinning beach ball after partitioning and couldn't go further till I named the second partition. That may have done it. Right now, things seem to be working o.k. I'm updating a current iPhoto and will have to get a MS Word program that will function on the current OS and a current Quicken.
If necessary, can start up from the 10.6.8 system which I downloaded to an external HD before updating. I can always fall back on that. Also, I hope I don't get too many disconnects. Thank you for your help.

How do i download files using other downloader (like orbit downloader) instead of firefox downloader itself?

how do i download files using other downloader (like orbit downloader) instead of firefox downloader itself?
please give me detailed steps to do it
i have orbit downloader

I tried it again, and this time when I resumed it lost about 10Mbytes, so I guess this means that the app store downloader saves its data every 10MBytes.
I will try downloading the whole thing again(XCode4) and just hope that this time I can get the whole download before it decides to wipe out what it has already downloaded.

Used disk 1 instead of disk 2 to install programme Photoshop Elements 10

Hi
I only noticed that I should have loaded disk 2 for my machine, which is 64bit but I used disk 1. Does this matter and should I try to do the install again? If I should try again how do I do this as when I put in disk 2 it came up with what I thought were complicated instructions.
Also, my daughter has an Apple mac - can she use the Mac disk to load Photoshop and premier Elements onto her Apple machine?
Thanks for any help.

If your machine has enough memory the program will benefit (be faster) with the 64-bit program. As far as I can tell from reading the license on the web (written in a language only lawyers could love) you are allowed to install the software on one computer.

I recently downloaded is x mountain lion and while it finished it erased all my data, some of which I need. When using disk utility I found my old data but it says corrupted. I can't repair and while restoring the error code 32 Broken Pipe appears. Help?

My data I need is on my computer but it needs to be repaired but can't and when I try to restore it/back it up it ends abruptly with error code 32 broken pipe.
It was damaged while installing os x mountain lion and I found my data on disk repair (utility)

Sounds like your hard drive is badly corrupted, likely due to problems that were already there when you started trying to install Mountain Lion. The problem is, if you don't have any backups already, you may not be able to recover all your data from this state. Do you have backups of that data already?
If not, I assume when you say that "it needs to be repaired but can't," you mean that Disk Utility tells you there is a problem with the disk, but that it is unable to repair it? If so, you can try repairing the drive using DiskWarrior, which can repair problems that Disk Utility cannot. That may give you access to your data again, but may not.
Also, it's important to understand that if your data is not backed up, everything you do with the computer runs the risk of overwriting or corrupting that data. You may want to go straight to trying to recover your data. See Recovering deleted files.
Regarding the error code, if you're trying to back up the drive using Disk Utility's Restore tab, note that that is often not successful when the drive you're trying to back up is corrupt.
Once the situation is resolved - either because you have backups, are able to recover your data files or are forced to accept that they are gone permanently - you will need to erase the hard drive and reinstall the system and all your apps from scratch.

ITunes won't Restore after I allready have restored (using Disk Utility)

To anyone who may help, or who may have similar problem,
Having trouble with my iPod (5th gen 30GB).
Bought iPod 1 month ago. First time i plugged it in, it showed up as a Windows-formatted iPod on my Mac (using iTunes 7.1).
I couldn't restore the iPod from iTunes as the Restore (and Update) function was greyed-out in the Device Summary "Version" section.
Called up Apple Canada and they told me to restore using disk utility, which I did by using the Erase function.
Then plugged iPod back in. iTunes recognised it - as a Macintosh formatted iPod - and automatically reloaded all music onto iPod. Once upload complete though, iPod wouldn't play and instead now shows a "use iTunes to Restore iPod" screen.
Restore functions still unavailable in iTunes (Version section still greyed out) - though now says that "Your iPod software is up to date. iTunes will check..."
Tried holding down menu+centre button and centre button+play but no help.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

Error 14 usually means that your antivirus or firewall is blocking the update. Try disabling your firewall.
Also, make sure you are connecting to a USB 2.0 (not 1.1)port directly on the back of the computer (not the front), and you are not using a USB hub or a USB port on the keyboard if there is one. This is worth checking but is not usually the cause of error 14.
When updating choose "download only" the first time. This separates the download process and the update process, so you can better diagnose where the problem resides.

Instead of using the make file can you build nirlpk.sys using MS WDK 8.0 on VS2012?

After downloading the NI nimhddk_windowsWDM-2 and -1
Instead of using the make file I built nirlpk.sys using MS WDK 8.0 on VS2012
I copied the source files out of the dir /nirlpk to the MS template for WDM drivers
It built after turning warnings as errors off.
After uninstalling the NI_DMX driver I tried to install the RLP driver that consisted of nirlp.inf and nirlpk.sys
I got this message:
Windows found driver software for your device but encounted and error while attempting to install it.
PCI-6602 RLP WDM
Driver is not intended for this platform
Is the nirlp.inf file correct for loading on Windows 7 64 bit?
Any ideas?

I have now altered the example along lines
suggested by ghaneman*, who pointed out that
a trusted application did not need to use the
FileOpenService/FileContents just to get an
InputStream.
* Mentioned on 'File associations / sandboxed app.'
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=785224
The altered code is..
/** Load a file into the editing area.
@param path A string representing the path to the desired file. */
public void loadFile(String path) {
    // first try as if this were a trusted application..
    if (!path.equals(".")) {
        try {
            FileInputStream inputStream = new
                FileInputStream(path);
            loadFile(inputStream);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // we do not have trust, use the FileOpenService
            loadFileByFileService(path);
    } else {
        // we only have a directory, use the FileOpenService
        loadFileByFileService(path);
public void loadFileByFileService(String path) {
    try {
        if (fileOpenService==null) {
            fileOpenService = (FileOpenService)ServiceManager.
                lookup("javax.jnlp.FileOpenService");
        fileContents = fileOpenService.openFileDialog(path, xtns);
        // the user may have cancelled the action..
        if (fileContents!=null) {
            loadFile( fileContents.getInputStream() );
    } catch(UnavailableServiceException use) {
        use.printStackTrace();
    } catch(IOException ioe) {
        ioe.printStackTrace();
}If the user launches the trusted version, and
selects 'always trust' for the (self signed)
certificate, the end user can thereafter double
click a file and see it appear in the application's
editing area with no further user interaction.

How do you use disk utility to burn a bootable .iso dvd?

Anybody have a clue on how you use disk utility to burn a .iso bootable dvd disk?
I'm trying to install windows 7 rc into virtual box in OS X 10.5.7 and cannot figure out how to do this. I've already installed the windows 7 beta in virtual box and was able to make a bootable dvd disk with the .iso file on it but have no clue how I did this.
I've been searching the web but most tips are for older version of OS X.
Thanks to anybody who answers.

It's so easy, You can just burn an .iso file using DVD Creator Std instead of Disk Utility, only 3 steps to finish bur ning your .iso files:

How do I use Disk Utility to help install Mountain Lion after many failed attempts?

I tried to install Mountain Lion from an App onto my MacBook.
First it said that my disk was damaged to i tried to repair it.
Didn't work.
Then it said I didn't have enough room to install Mountain Lion.
Then I tried to restore Lion.
Didn't work.
Then someone suggested I reset my PRAM.
Tried that, and now I am stuck.
I can't restore any of my backups from timeline.
I can't reinstall OSX because my drive is now locked.
And I don't know how to use Disk Utility to solve this problem!
Any suggestions welcome... I'm in way deeper than I understand and feel like anything I do is making this worse!

I gather that your computer is in a less than satisfactory state, so the process below will basically start you from scratch, but you shouldn't lose anything.
Okay, can you inspect the Time Machine Backups with the Finder? About two or so folders down you should start seeing your system files. Assuming all your files are present.
Important^
You probably have an installation disk that came with your macBook. Boot from that CD and install from the CD.
Run the verify disk utilites and repair utilities if necessary.
You may want to erase your disk from the CD's disk utility. This will erase your Hard Drive (make sure you do not erase your backups, as that would be very bad).
Once the installation is complete, run all system updates. Either look through your backup and find the Mountain lion installation app, or download it from the app store again.
Run the ML installtion app.
Once everything is up and running, move all files and folders you want from your TM backups and you should be good to go.
