How do I reinstall CS5.5 if my iMac won't recognise my discs?

I had the hard drive on my iMac replaced recently.
Although I backed up all my InDesign files, I did not back up my CS5 applications as I have the oringal discs
When I tried re installing CS5.5 my iMac did not recognise the discs at all and then spat them out after a few seconds with a whirring noise coming from what must've been the DVD drive I guess.
I phoned Adobe who said there is a known issue with reinstalling (CS5.5) discs.
They also told me there are no CS5.5 downloads available, which was interesting as I found a CS5 forum which had a link to download CS5. I tried this link and it didn't work.
The Adobe help person suggested I stick my CS5 discs onto another iMac and then copy these CS5 files onto this iMac's desktop. From this desktop, I then copied my CS5 onto an external hard drive. I then plugged this external hard drive back onto my iMac (with the replacement hard drive) and copied all these CS5.5 files back onto my desktop. I then opened the install file and the installation process started working fine until I got a message saying,' Please insert Disk CS5_5 Mstr Coll 2 to continue'.
And now I'm truly stuck as my iMac won't accept, or read, my CS5 discs. Any ideas on how to sort this out?
BTW - I also tried setting up a new user profile. That didn't work

  • I may have been hacked. How do I reinstall operating system of my imac 4

    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How can I retrieve my files when my iMac won't boot?

    My iMac won't boot up, which may be related to a recent update to Mavericks. I've tried repairing the disk from the DVD startup - it finds invalid volume file counts and says it's repaired them, but the same thing happens when I try to boot, the screen goes dark, the cursor is still visible and movable, but that's it. Foolishly, I didn't make a back-up so I'm now trying to retrieve some files at least. Using disk utility I've been able to copy everything to an external drive but I still can't get access to the files because it won't boot from there either, same old volume errors turn up when I try to repair it. Will I have to buy another mac just to access the files?

    Assuming you are running OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), try booting into your Recovery HD by pressing/holding Command+R at startup. When you see the OS X Utilities Menu, plug in a USB external drive with an empty partition. Select Reinstall OS X from the menu and install Mavericks to you external drive. After the install is completed, your system should boot to your external drive to completed Setup. You might be able to use your internal iMac drive and Setup Assistant to bring over you User accounts and Apps to the external.

  • How do I reinstall CS5 Suite on a new hard drive

    I have installed Adobe CS5 Suite Premium and Adobe Acrobat X Pro on my laptop and on my desktop.  My desktop hard drive crashed and had to be replaced.  I now cannot re-install these programs because it is asking me for username/password information that is correct but not working for the installation.  PLEASE HELP ME

    It asks me twice.  The first time, I plug in the username/password for my Adobe account and it works (image 1486).  The second one (image 1485) does not work.  The issue is occurring at the Install Options point in the installation

  • How do I install CS5 on my new iMac?

    I have just bought a new iMac.  My problem is that I want to install my photoshop CS5, which I own on disc.  As there is no disc reader on the iMac, I tried downloading photoshop CC and entering my serial number - which wasn't accepted ( it's the only photoshop I could download, was hoping they would recognise my serial number and install CS5 for me).  My question is:  How can I download/install my CS5 without buying an external disc reader?

    You can download photoshop cs5 from here.
    Just follow the Note:Very Important Instructions or the download links won't work.

    You would have to provide the install logs to figure that out:

    Otherwise you should run the cleaner tool and try again:

  • How can I install CS5 on my new iMac.

    After replacing a crashed computer Irestored my information from time machine onto my new iMac.  CS5 apps will not launch.  An error message indicates a licensing problem.  I am unable to contact by phone anyone at adobe to help. 

    You need to install the software if that is not what you did.    If you do not have the installation disks, you can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

  • How do I reinstall iDVD now that apple doesn't give us a disc?

    So some how iDVD is missing from my MacBook Pro which is purchased in Oct 2012. Back in the day I would have just put the old install disc in, re-installed iDVD and case closed.
    How to I get iDVD back on my Mac?

    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • HT203421 How do I reinstall Mavericks if my app store won't work?

    We've been having troubles with this iMac. Apple Store replaced everything but the hard disk, nuked and repaved it with Mavericks. I reloaded my info from backup manually. Now, Preview, Messages, and App Store don't work. Is there some way to reinstall Mavericks without connnecting to the App Store?

    You almost certainly ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system.
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again.

  • How do I install CS5 onto my new Mac OSX that has no disc drive?

    I have the serial number and have loaded it onto one other computer, so I should still be able to put the program on my laptop as well. But it is giving me an error 6 for both PS and AI, but InDesign is saying I am missing files.
    I have contacted the help center and it was no help, it was clear she did not know what to do because she kept asking me if I had a disc drive on my laptop which I had to keep clarifying that no, I don't.
    I put the applications on a external harddrive and tried dragging them over onto my laptop, hoping it would just require I type in the serial number, but that did not work.
    Please help!
    DC

    tried dragging them over onto my laptop, hoping it would just require I type in the serial number, but that did not work.
    Correct. No install, no licensing system, no working apps. You must run the installer properly. Refer to the below articles:
    Errors "Exit Code: 6," "Exit Code: 7"
    Troubleshoot with install logs
    Anything beyond that will require much more info on your part.
