How do I transfer my photoshop to a new laptop with no disc drive?

I need to transfer my CS6 upgrade and, I assume, my original CS5 Windows versions of Photoshop to my new laptop that has no disc drive. This feature takeaway is increasingly common in new laptops, so I thought this would be an easy search, but I got nothing. Anyone out there know a practical way that doesn't involve ripping a disc? If ripping a disc is my only option, then what is the easiest and cheapest way to do that?

I find it hard to believe that your new laptop has no disk drive. I can not believe it boots off some network device. It is quit normal to download or copy Photoshop installation files to a Laptops internal hard disk or ssd using an external DVD or network shared. Then install Photoshop from the copied or downloaded installation files. I haven't installed Photoshop from CD or DVD in many years. Normally you do not need to copy prior versions of Photoshop to do an upgrade. You will need to be able to enter your upgrade eligible version of Photoshop serial number.
I think the idea of network computers without disk drives went out vogue many years ago it was a concept that never took off.

How do I download/install Photoshop & Premiere Elements 10 on new iMac with no disc drive?

My iMac hard drive recently failed and I lost everything. I just bought one of the new iMacs with no disc drive. I had purchased Photoshop CS5 in 2011 but it came with CD's for install. I stil have them but it doesn't do me any good since there is no disc drive to put them in on the new computer. How can I install Photoshop using my serial number from my original purchase? I downloaded the CS6 trial version and when I try to activate it with my old serial number it says it is invalid.

There are links to trial installers on pages:

Very carefully read and follow the instructions on the pages!
Download and install the trials, launch and activate them with your serial number then do 'Help > Updates'.

How do I transfer my photoshop to my new computer?

Hello,
I recently got a new computer for my birthday and I used to have photoshop on my old laptop. I used the Photoshop Student and Teacher addition that can only be used once. I have it on my old computer but it is slowly dying so I now want it on my new on but can't use the product key again now that I have used my one use. What do I do? HELP

On the new computer, you should be able to download Photoshop CS6 and enter your STE serial number.
You're entitled to activate the software on up to two computers at the same time.
Where do you get the idea that the software can only be used once?
Providing you're eligible, you can only buy one license per platform per year, you cannot resell, transfer or upgrade it. Other than a few other minor licensing conditions, it works like a normal license.

How to Copy and Move your Music Files from One Computer to Another
This is the conceptual framework with related and important links. Apply and adapt it to your specific situation and equipment resources.
The safest, quickest, and most optimal method to move your Library to a new computer is to actually clone the entire ‘iTunes’ folder (directory) structure, rather than just copying just the song files. By copying the entire ‘iTunes’ folder and all sub-folders, you capture not only the music files, but the all-important ‘iTunes Library.itl’ database file (usually located in the ‘iTunes’ folder), which contains all the data about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). See: What are the iTunes Library files?
Install iTunes on the new computer. Then go back to your old computer and move (copy) the "iTunes" folder which usually resides inside your "…\My Documents\My Music" folder from the old computer to the exact same place (both Drive Letter and complete Path) on the new computer. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will look and behave exactly the same way it did on the old, Play Counts, Ratings, Comments and all!
NOTE: It is usually safer moving files between computers with the same version of iTunes!!
Here's a list of methods to copy and move your music files from one computer to another:
1) Use an External Hard Drive (ExHD) to move the complete files and Folder structures from one computer to another (my preferred option). You can clone’ the entire ‘iTunes’ folder structure in one very easy step. Also great to have available for complete backups of your Library. External hard drives now run less than $100 for 200-250GBs of storage. See This Link
2) Directly connect the two computers....
- 2a) Connect them through a Router &/or Network
- 2b) Directly connect using an Ethernet cable: Straight for using at least one Mac; or Crossover for PC/PC Instructions here.
- 2c) Connect them via a USB-to-USB Network Bridge. Example here. There are various types out there (use Google).
....Then copy the files from one computer to the other.
3) Use the iPod as a transfer device, as this extensive Apple link explains. It will be a bit easier if your iPod has a larger capacity than your music collection, otherwise you will need to perform multiple copy/move transfers. This well written process also works fine while using any other data transfer medium (ExHD, Flash Drive, DVD, CD, Zipp, Jazz, etc.).
4) Burn several DVDs (at 4.7GBs each) with your music data files and folder structure, and load them onto the new computer. Re-writable DVDs are more cost effective (if your DVD drive can manage these types).
5) Burn 6x more on CDs (at 700MB each) than in #4 above and load the files and folders on the new computer. Re-writable CDs are more cost effective (if your CD drive can manage these types).
6) Use a larger USB Flash drive (1GB - 4GB) to move the files and folders. Best if the flash drive is larger than your Library, otherwise you will need multiple copy/move transfers.
These are links to various additional instructions on performing the transfer (read them all, but some listed steps may not be required depending on your specific situation):

How do i re intall photoshop on a new laptop?

On my old laptop I purchased Photoshop but a couple months later my laptop broke down and i had to get a new one. now i cant work out how to re intall the Photoshop i have already brought to my new laptop. My laptop is windows

I don't know what version you have, or whether your license uses a serial number or you bought a subscription.
If you tell us what you have, the version as well as whether the license is for Windows or Mac we can give better advice.

How do you transfer songs from ipod to new laptop when old one is broken?

Can anyone help?
My old laptop broke recently and i want to transfer all my songs from my ipod to my new laptop. Does anyone know how to do this? I tried just connecting my ipod to the computer but it didnt work.
Thanks!

As long as you didn't let the new computer wipe out your iPod...
*Recover media from iPod*
See this post from Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7217190#7217190
Otherwise if you still have the dead laptop it may be possible to extract the drive and hook it up in an external drive bay. I've recovered data for a number of friends and colleagues this way.

How do i transfer my iweb content to new laptop?

my hard drive on a mac book died - RIP. how do i download the content from my iweb account to my new laptop? the store clerk said that it was possible but doesn't seem obvious to me. i REALLY don't want to lose all my blog site content!

Hi Old Toad,
A really good way to make a backup of the domain file I found it out ALL BY MYSELF (not exactly...)
I tried out varkgirls Automator which actually makes a .zip file of the domain file and puts in a location of your choice... My 500MB site got 430MB in zip...
I didn't get the point of that automator I mean: I can just drag & drop my domain file to my external HD and it would be the same... So I didn't really like it, I'm sorry for that...
BUT Varkgirl also mentions the Mozy stuff... 2GB of free online storage for backup and, at the moment, I really Love her for mentioning that...
I made a backup of my domain file through Mozy (without zipping and so on) now what's the point? The point is I saved 430MB of storage and got additional 1570MB and best part yet to come: when I modify the Domain.sites2 in iWeb and make it backing up again it turns out that Mozy is so intelligent that it finds the pages I modified and uploads only those to Mozy, I don't have to backup the whole 500Megs every time, isn't that great? It's fantastic! Oh yeah and you can tell Mozy to automatically backup every day or once a week or manually backup.
AND "one more thing" (like Jobs said once in a Keynozte pres. I think it was the one he first mentioned the iPhone => big surprise) I MAYBE (I'm NOT sure) could also edit it by restoring it on another computer (of that I'm sure) and then put it back (of that I'm not sure, I think it would need to upload the whole 500MB file)
Well... For people with .Mac that's not quite a revolution, but for those whom, like me, don't have it it is... I think...
I hope someone understood what I meant...
Regards,
Cédric
