How can I install software without Classic environment?

I've got a huge problem. My Powerbook hard drive failed and no data can be recovered. So, because I needed a new computer, I just got the new iMac intel. But here's why I'm freaking out. I've got a lot of software (like Quark Xpress 6 and Addobe Acrobat 6.0) that are all upgrades to previous versions. But since the new iMacs don't run Classic environment, I can't install the older versions of software so I can install my upgrades. What on Earth do I do? I'm a graphic designer - so I HAVE to have Quark on this new machine.
I have a lot of software in Windows format. I keep reading different things that say I can boot Windows on my new iMac. Does this mean there is a way for me to install software that runs on a PowerPC on my new iMac? If so, how do I do that?
I need all the help I can get with this one. I tried contacting Apple and did a chat with an Apple agent that got me nowhere. All I know is that I cannot afford to buy the full versions of software right after buying this new machine. HELP!!!!!!!

Congratulations on your new iMac.
Quark can be reinstalled by inserting the upgrader disk and double clicking the Quark upgrader icon. A dialog box opens that asks "In order to begin upgrading your current version of QuarkXPress you will be asked to locate the directory". At this point, while holding down the "Option" key, click the "ok" button. The install should go smoothly from there.
In regards to Acrobat, any older version requiring classic will not run on your new intel iMac. However, if you've already purchased an upgrade, i believe there is an option of opting to enter your old serial number, rather than pointing the installer to a previous installation when installing the upgrade.

.dmg.part is not a complete file.. It usually indicates that the entire file has not been downloaded yet. Are you sure you downloaded the entire file? (i recommend updating itunes through  > Software Update

Purchased lightroom 5 before purchasing CC, technically I can install up to 4 lightrooms. How can I install lightroom without signing in to CC?

Purchased lightroom 5 before I got myself a CC subscription.
I have maxed out on the installation on 2 computers with the CC account. Now I wish to activate my original lightroom standalone license.
But apparently I need to sign in to CC to install lightroom, which creates a conflict with my existing 2 computers. How can I install the standalone license?
Thanks all.

Download Light room, during activation choose the option to use the serial number.
It should work, if it says that activation count is over, then you can try by deactivating CC , then install the standalone, then you can activate back the CC.

How to re-install software without resetting router

I have laptop with Windows 7 which had my account management software for my Linksys E1000 v2 installed on it. Major issues with the laptop required that the computer be wiped and the OS installed. I am able to connect to the internet through my wireless router based on the router name and password I had previoiusly set up. However, now I don't have the sofware on my computer to manage that account...to confirgure the settings, change the password etc.
Is there a way to re-install the software without resetting my router information? I tried running the installation CD but that fails with the notice that my router cannot be found (even though I am literally connected to it).
Any help is greatly appreciated.

It could be that the software won't connect to the router because you may have changed the administration username and password. You would therefore need to reset the router to factory settings.
You can access the router's settings directly without the need for the Cisco software and having to reset the router..
Just open up your browser and navigate to 192.168.1.1.
Assuming that you haven't changed them, the username will be "admin" and no password (leave blank). All of your router's settings will be available through the interface.

How can I install Yosemite without a landline?

My only Internet connection is by wireless, with a basic budget of 10GB/month (of which I currently only have ca. 40MB left this month). I am therefore looking for some method of installing Yosemite without using my own link. I would like to download Yosemite to a USB Flash Drive at a friend's house where a better broadband connection is available and then use that to get the OS onto my iMac. However, on the Web I can only find descriptions of how to get the Yosemite installer onto a USB stick and am not clear whether that is all I need or whether the installer then downloads the bulk of the Yosemite data.
Can anyone clarify whether the installer would be all I need or please tell me what I have to do to download Yosemite away from home.
Thanks for any help.

That is all you need.

How can I install lion without internet ?

I have Lion installed on an old Mac mini. I have created a DVD from the downloaded installer, as a backup in case of hard drive failure. But, if I disconnect the ethernet cable, the install from the DVD hangs, waiting for an internet connection.
How can I bypass the internet requirement to get my system back running and get the OS re-installed ?

I tried this again. I believe the first time I disconnected the ethernet cable AFTER the install had started. It expected to be able to check for updated modules, and when it couldn't it hung.
The next time, I disconnected the ethernet cable -- and made sure Airport was off, too -- and then started the Install from DVD. It ran through to completion without pausing for the internet. Problem is sequence of disconnection, not in the install process.
Thanks.

How can I install CS6 without a disk drive?

Hi there!
I recently purchased the Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium addition.
The sales person at the store assured me that despite not having a CD drive in my Macbook Pro there would be a way to install/download the suite with the product information in the box.
So far, all I have been able to acheive is recovering my serial code. I am compeltely at a loss of how to even begin to start the install process without the a disc drive.
Is this possible or did the sales person send me down the wrong road?
Thanks in advanced!

HT4623 ive lost all ios on my ipod touch ,, i cant download any games etc . how can i install software needed

my ipod touch is 4 years old ,, somehow ive lost the ability to download games etc , it says app incompatible ,, how can i load the correct software ?

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

How can I install Thunderbird without a "Special Account" being created

A new installation of Thunderbird is creating a "Special Account", the name of which I need to use for another account. I cannot change the name of the "Special Account" and the new account must use that name but TB will not accept two accounts with the same name. I have read an explanation of the special account and I do not need it or want it. I need to know how to prevent the creation of the special account. Is there some part of an earlier installation buried in the Registry or elsewhere which I need to delete? I have installed TB on other computers without this problem.

Yes, there is a local folder special account in every single installation that has ever occurred in Thunderbirds 10 years of existence.,
So perhaps you could explain what the issue is so we might be able to understand and advise on how to do what your trying to do.
