Error message on set up on new Macbook pro

I just bought a new Macbook Pro and I am trying to install my Cs3 on it. Yes, a few versions behind
I had to transfer the set-up files from the DVD to a usb key, because the new macbook doesn't have a DVD drive.
I did this, initialized the set up, and it just gave me an error that said 'setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe customer support'
So is there another way to do this? It never asked for my serial number, or I guess it is a 'coupon code' which I obtained when I bought it during school. Can I use the migration assistant instead?
Thanks!!

Copy the contents of the USB drive on your hard disk and run the installer from the hard disk. You will need the serial number for installation though. Refer to this document to find your serial number.
Thanks

  • How do I set up my new Macbook Pro to associate with my Apple ID so I can download purchased music?

    How do I set up my new Macbook Pro to associate with my Apple ID so I can download purchased music?
    Under 'Manage Devices' it only lists my iPhone and iMac. I've bought stuff on my new Macbook Pro using my Apple ID, but I can't find music I previously purchased using the iMac.

    Oh, wait, I've found it. Silly me!

  • How do I set up my new Macbook Pro without using the annoying Voiceover?

    How do I set up my new MacBook Pro without using the annoying Voiceover?  I cannot get it to work right; it seems to get stuck and repeats the same thing over and over.  It is driving me nuts!  Is there a way to begin the setup process without using the Voiceover system?  I am a new convert from a PC and I thought a Mac was supposed to be "intuitive!" 
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    There is no good reason to register your Mac anyway.
    You can opt out of the setup process and registration by pressing Command (Apple key) and the "Q" key.
    The registration process requires you to divulge a lot of unnecessary information.

    I've recently received an error message from Time Machine that my Macbook Pro's sparsebundle is in use.  What is this and what can I do about it?

    This is asked at least 5-6 times a day here.
    Look at the right hand column.. more like this.
    It is a bug in Mountain Lion.
    Read C12 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    But the fast solution.. unplug the TC.. count to 10.. plug it back in.

    Of course not. Migration Assistant will create a new user with the transferred files and settings, so your MacBook Pro won't get messed > http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html

  • Set up a new macbook pro without using voice over

    How do I set up a new MacBook Pro without using Voice Over. I can't get past the initial Welcome screen. The VO commands do not work as indicated in the forced tutorial.

    Just click the Next and or Continue button. Voice over only starts shortly after you get to one of those screens and you wait to long to input something or click on an option and then Next or Continue. I think at the bottom of the screen there is an option to turn off the Voice over.

  • 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.

  • Error message when opening LR5 on my MacBook Pro.

    I have successfully installed LR5 on my iMac but for some reason it is not installing properly on my MacBook Pro laptop!!  I have now tried installing this software three times.  This is the message that appears in a grey box whenever I try to open LR5:
    "An error occurred when attempting to change modules."
    When I click on the OK button, another window opens telling me that "New software for LR is available and Statement 5.3 appears ... ".
    There are three buttons at the bottom of the window and whichever one I choose, nothing happens.  I would appreciate some help with this please?

    Try the options here: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/error-changing-modules-lightroom.html
    You can also d'load the Lr5.3 version as a trial from here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroom&loc=en_gb
    and install that over your Lr5.0 install.

  • ITunes error message when syncing iPhone 5 w/MacBook Pro

    I have been syncing my iPhone 5 (32GB) with my MacBook Pro for 2.5 years and still had about 2-3GB empty (I know, should allow more free space).  Suddenly, having added nothing except maybe a couple new events in Calendar, I'm getting an iTunes message when I try to sync saying that it cannot sync as there isn't enough memory -- with a note in parentheses that an additional 13+GB are needed).  I thought I'd seen this addressed here before, but in searching for an answer, I wasn't able to pull anything up.
    I have shut down my computer and rebooted several times, but doesn't change anything.  Any help would be much appreciated.

    I'm having the same problem, except I used to have 12 GB of music on my iPhone that is now gone, and the same disc space now says "Other", but there is no music on the iPod. I've tried the 5 R's, is it a glitch? I didn't have this problem until I updated yesterday. Everytime I sync, it tells me there is not enough space to download the music. What is the "Other" category? I can't find any info on it at all. Also, I am NOT a computer guru, I'm a nurse, so be gentle!

  • Connection timeout error keeps on occurring on my new Macbook Pro, please help?

    I recently bought my Macbook Pro and the software version is OS X 10.8.2. I keep on having "Connection time out error" and I can't use the internet, while my old laptop and iPhone can use it without a problem. This keeps on occurring and I am new to this software, I have searched the internet but the solutions did not solve the problem. I restarted my macbook and still the same thing. I have tried the "Diagnostics" and "Assistant" in network preference but it would keep on rejecting the Wi-Fi's password even though it is correct. I'm trying so hard not to dislike my new laptop and Apple products, I pretty much trust them but this continuous problem is letting me down .

    Yes the internal drive can be removed and a IDE/SATA to USB adapter used, provided the drive still works mechanially.
    If the files are erased, it might be possible to recover using Data Rescue

    I'm not sure about the iPhone, I think you need to have the same named user account on the new machine + be authorized/logged into your itunes account. but double check that over in the iPhone forum.

  • New Macbook Pro set up is stuck on iCloud Drive upgrade screen

    I am setting up a new macbook pro and have chosen the option to upgrade to iCloud Drive. After choosing to continue with that option, the spinning ball has been active for quite sometime. Is this normal? I am afraid to force restart as it is a brand new computer.

    I had the same issue.  I logged in & registered the device SN (several other devices (SN's) are already associated with the account).  I don't know if this is simply coincidental or not, but as soon as I did that the new mac book pro continued into setup & eventually finished booting up & is now apparently pulling in user/account settings.  I still have to confirm the iCloud Drive setup, but so far at least it moved on past the 'spinning wheel.'
