Error: 6 after reinstalling CS4 on new Macbook (Mavericks) from back up drive (no CD-rom drive).
My old Mac died. I purchased a new Macbook Pro with Mavericks. I had purchased CS4 installation discs, but cannot use them to reinstall the software since the new computer does not have a CD-rom drive. I tried to reinstall the Adobe software from my back up drive. When I try to open the software, I receive an error message: "Error: 6." The steps listed on other postings for correcting this problem do not work, and I obviousuly cannot reinstall the software without a disc drive. Is there a way to reactive the license?
Things I've learned while trying to remedy this problem:
-- There is no FlexNet Publisher file to delete -- it doesn't exist in my file system.
-- License Recover App won't open (isn't supported by my system)
-- Changed all permissions to "Read and Write" -- still get Error: 6
Now what?
gibbonyc,
Here are Adobe pages for downloading CS6, CS5, CS4, and CS3:

Have you the registration serial number still?

After migrating to a new MacBook Air from an older MacBook, iPhoto gets stuck on "uploading cache", it just "spins" forever. I downloaded a new iPhoto app and replaced it, but when opened it just does the same thing? What is going on? Where are my photos now? How can I upload photos from my camera without iPhoto?
Is there a better app?
Thanks, ChrisTake the system to an Apple store to be fixed or replaced as the one you have has defective hardware.

after migration to a new macbook i cannot open photoshop. I get error message "you can't open this application "adobe photoshop cs" because powerpc applications are no longer supported"
You cannot run Photoshop CS on a new Intel-based Mac running OS X Mavericks. CS is far too old.
You'll have to buy Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop Elements 12. Or subscribe to CC. -

I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers. and both are on a stable wireless connection
Logging into itunes store on each machine wth different Apple IDs is OK Autorising each others machines with the other Apple ID is OK. This is completley separate from Home Sharing
For Home Sharing to work you need to
File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share.
You need to select one of the two Apple IDs you are using and ENTER THIS ON BOTH MACHINES WHEN CREATING THE HOME SHARE.
Home sharing will then work -

I have the new MacBook Pro from late 2011. "the one before the new ritina display" i have a cannon gl2 video camera which is mini dv. when i plug it into my mac via firwire 800 it does not show up in the iMovie. i have set the settings on the camera to vcr mode and changed it to av->dv out. when i click on the import from camera on imovie it doesnt even show my camera in it. it just gives me the option to import video from my facetime camera. the camera is turned on the wires are connected i know for fact that its a firewire and not a usb. i know what they each look like. i bought the firewire cable and it was marked down cause it was an opened and used item. would it be possible that it could be deffected and if that is not the reason what other options do i have?
I would say that odds are high that you have a bad cable. Maybe that is why they returned it.
I would suggest trying a different firewire cable.
You can find Firewire cables inexpensively at monoprice.com. You need a 4 pin to 9 pin firewire cable.
Here is a link.

Other things to check:
Is your camera plugged in to wall power (not to batteries only). Must be hooked to an AC power source to import. -

I have a mobileme account and an icloud account

In order to do that you must have a Snow Leopard DVD.

How do I load on Office: Mac onto my new MacBook Pro when it doesn't have a disk drive - I don't want to have to purchase another copy.
Glad you were able to solve your problem. For the benefit of others who may find this discussion later, allow me to suggest another possibility.
If you have access to another Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion with an optical drive, you should be able to use the Remote Disc feature to access the optical drive on that other Mac. -

Every time I connect my iPhone 4s to iTunes on my Mac, it tries to set up my phone as a new one/restore from back up. I have it all set up already, but it keeps appearing. What do I need to do to stop this?
Hello there, deelish.
A great Knowledge Base article that has some valid information is:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
The pertinent section for you would be:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities!

Error 6 - Transferring Photoshop CS4 to new macbook pro
I'm in the process of changing transferring everything over to my new Macbook Pro. I uninstalled photoshop CS4 on my old laptop but when I tried to install it on this laptop a box popped up saying I needed a certain Java application (can't remember which) which it searched for and downloaded for me but after it finished and I clicked to install CS4 it said that my computer needed to be restarted and if that didn't solve the problem to contact support and let them know I have an error 6. Hoping someone can help me out. Thank you in advance!!
Try downloading a fresh Mac CS4 installler.
Use the CScleaner tool first before installing, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Download CS4 products Have your serial number ready. -
