How to re-install CS5.5? [was: My products are on a hardrive recovered from my old laptop, how do I put them on my new one?]
So here's the story:
I had CS5.5 on my laptop. It worked great. I loved it.
Then, I spilled coffee all over my laptop and it stopped working. The laptop in question? An enormous macbook pro.
A friend of mine who is markedly more experienced in the mysteries of computers than I am managed to pull out the hard drive and save everything. The hard drive now exists as an external. All my products are there, but I can't open them.
After this, I got a new laptop. It is, again, a macbook pro. Now, I have all the programs on the hard drive, but I can't figure out how to get them onto the new laptop so that I can start using them again.
Please help me. I am very nearly computer illiterate. I just want to be able to use premiere and audition again.
Thanks.
You can re-download the software from Download CS5.5 products

I just purchased a PC laptop and need to activate Lightroom 5 on it. How do I get my copy of LR5 deactivated from my old laptop so I can activate it on my new one?
There is no activation mechanism in Lightroom. Hence no Help > Deactivate.
Only need to uninstall. Or leave it installed since the license allows two installations. -

How do I disable Photoshop on old laptop so I can download it on my new one. I cannot open it to uninstall it on my old one. It seems to have disappeared. I have the CC now and just want to put it on my new computer.
you could reinstall it on your old computer and then click help>deactivate. or, if you have cc on your old computer, open your cc app and sign out off cc.
if you don't have access to your old computer you can ask adobe support to reset your activation, http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html -

How do I keep my music from my old 1st gen ipod mini when the computer that I originally loaded it with was stolen more than 5 years ago and transfer all the music onto my new ipod touch? My fear has always been that plugging my mini into another computer and attempting to download more music onto it or take what's on there off will end up erasing all of it because of file sharing regs. I would really prefer not to have to repurchase several hundred dollars of music as many of the original cd's that I used to download have been either lost or damaged over the years. Is there anything I can do????

Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities -
I just bought a MacBook Air and don't want to store all my photos on it. I'd like to be able to store and access them on a separate back up disk but iPhoto won't allow me to access these saying:
"The iPhoto library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Reopen iPhoto with the Option key held down to choose another library."
Can I use my back up disk to store my photos? If not, how do I get my photos from iPhoto onto my back up disk?
Would love any help!
Thanks in advance :-)You need to first restore the Time Machine back up. This excuse a TM back up is condensed and fragmented and so it needs to be expanded and reassembled before iPhoto can understand it.
After that, moving the Library is simple:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

I have an iphone 4 and the laptop i used to have it synced with (itunes) has broken and i can no longer get to it. I've now bought a new laptop but when i try to update to ios5 it says i will lose all of my apps and any purchases i've bought? Also it won't let me load any new music to my phone? what should i do?
if you didn't do a backup of the old laptop so you can get the itune lib back the way it were
you have to sync and lose the data
but you can never lose the apps they are tied to the appleID and can always be redownloaded from both the iphone under purchases and in itunes on the computer -

How can I install CS5 on a new/replacement laptop? I paid full price in 2011 and have the key (and it shows up in my Adobe account under products), but it was a downloaded product and I can't find a download of that version online and my key doesn't work in CC.
Your key cannot work in CC, it's newer version, and would require a new purchase.

How do i install Mac OS X version 10.6.8 on my computer from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
how do i install Mac OS X version 10.6.8 on my computer from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

My drive crashed. Re-installed CS5. Works fine except that can no longer go from Bridge by clicking
My drive crashed. Re-installed CS5. Works fine except that can no longer go from Bridge by clicking on small photo there. I found the place to change but CS5 is not an option. Tried to change prefernce in Windows 8 but not there either.
Thanks. Before my re-installation if I was in Bridge and found a photo I wanted to edit in CS5 I would just double click it and it would be brought in. Now when I do this I am brought into a microsoft viewer. To edit a picture I found in Bridge I have to write down its name and directory, open up CS5 (if it is not) and navigate to the photo. I found the place in Photshop and Bridge where you are supposed to be able to change the default program invoked when you double click on a photo in Bridge but there is no choice given other than the Microsoft viewer. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. At some point some web site I was reading suggested the problem being related to CS5 failing to make some change in the registry when it installed? This, or its solution is beyond my ken... Thanks, RobStl
