  • How do I unactivate after hard drive crash?

    Just purchased an upgrade to CS6 Photoshop from CS3 Photoshop but hard drive crashed before I could uninstall it. How do I deactivate after hard drive crash? Do I need to or can I just load my full CS3 copy and then upgrade it to my new CS6?

    You can just install CS6 directly.  You will be prompted to enter your qualifying serial number from CS3 during the install process.

  • How to reinstall a hard drive on a mac pro that was accidentally dragged out of Finder

    How to reinstall a hard drive on a mac pro that was accidentally dragged out of Finder?  I have files on this drive that I don't want to loose or corrupt.

    If you mean you dragged the hard drive shortcut out of the sidebar of a Finder window, you're quite all right - that's just a shortcut and you haven't lost any files. You can get it back by going to Finder preferences (the Finder menu, then Preferences), click Sidebar, and tick the "hard drives" box fully to show all hard drives.
    Post back if you did something different though.

  • How to disable audible account after hard drive crash

    I have had 2 computer hard drive crashes that were authorized iTunes accounts.  Since they crashed, I don't know how to de-authorize them. What happens after all 5 of my authorized account computers crash?  I can no longer listen to music purchased through iTunes?
    I hope there is a way to de-authorize a computer that crashed.  Can anyone help!

    I believe this might of worked after all. I did like you said and double clicked on the My Catalog file. PSA and it just put in the timeline and dates on the pictures but had a ? mark and no picture. I then chose to dowload files from the My pictures folder that the downloader was directed to for each download. It seems to restoring the photo's and putting them with the tags and all. I am so relieved because I had 37,500 pictures that would of been untagged and out of order. I learned my lesson to do a backup more frequently! Thanks for your help. If I would want to update to PSE 9 is it compatible with windows XP?

  • After hard drive crash, how can i copy music from iPhone to music folder on new computer?

    My hard drive crashed which contained all my music and backups of my iphone 4s. is there a way (using iTunes or some other method) to copy the music from my iPhone to the Music folder on another computer (with Windows 7 as the OS)? Thanks!! 

    Thanks for the quick answer! It was not what I wanted to hear, though. But, as long as I regularly sync my iPhone and have one or more backups, I can at least be assured that I won't lose the music that's on my phone.  Correct?  One other thing: when I synced my iPhone to iTunes on another computer, it didn't copy the playlists to iTunes, although the music shows up. Do the playlists get lost?

  • Restoring 10.7.X after hard drive crash

    My 2007 Macbook had a hard drive crash. I replaced the drive, reinstalled 10.6 (and updates) from the purchased disk, and restored all of the original software.
    I was previously running 10.7, Lion, but now I am unable to find this on the App Store. I originally purchased 10.7 from the App Store by download, but I do not have a hard copy of the OS? I would like to get it back to 10.7. I understand that the Macbook will not be compatible with Mountain Lion.
    How do I do this?

    Lion is no longer available from the App Store >  http://www.macworld.com/article/1167879/apple_pulls_lion_from_the_mac_app_store. html

  • Restoring after hard drive crash

    Hi-  I had a hard drive crash. I had everything backed up on Carbonite. So I've reinstalled Lightroom 4.2 and am a little confused on how to restore everything back to Lightroom with all my metadata and changes etc
    I am using Windows 7 and have already restored my files back onto the computer. I've done some research but it makes my head hurt and have seen several different ways to do it . I just want to make sure I don't mess it up. Can anyone help, please I would be very appreciative.
    Thank you,
    Steve

    I didn't want to get into a what I should have done and yes I know better than what I actually have done.
    Yes my most recent uncorrupted one is not that recent - I had deleted the some for space.

  • Time Machine after hard drive crash

    Recently, my MacBook's hard drive crashed. Fortunately, I had most of my data backed up via Time Machine. So, once Apple installed a new hard drive, I "restored all" with Time Machine. Now when I launch Time Machine, my archive only goes back a few days, to when I initially "restored all" -- before, my archives went back to November. Where did all of my backups go? How can I get them to show up in Time Machine?

    when TM does the first backup after a full system restore it sometimes does a complete (or nearly complete) backup. This happened to me once. this creates a big space demand to accommodate that backup and if there is not enough space TM will start deleting old backups to create space. To check this open TM drive in finder, go to Backups.backupdb->computer-name folder. all available backups will be listed there chronologically. how far back does it go?

  • Deactivation of product after hard drive crashes

    My hard drive crashed and I didn't have a chance to de-activate my Adobe photoshop Elements2.0
    after installing a new hard drive, installing windows 8.1, I began to re-install the software. I installed
    Photoshop2.0, upon installations I opened the software and proceeded to register it with the company.
    It told me that it was already registered, do I need to de-activate this serial number? if so how do I do
    this? How can I keep this software working as a valid part of my photo editing?
    Thank you. dan

  • Syncing iPhone with Outlook 2007 after hard drive crash.

    I recently had a hard drive crash.  We were able to retrieve the .pst files for Outlook 2007 and I sync my iPhone with Outlook for contacts, calendar and such for business.  The iPhone of course, was not affected.  I downloaded iTunes on the new hard drive, and backed up the phone.  (I sync music and apps on my husband's laptop.) 
    Now, in trying to sync, though, I get a lot of nebulous messages that really don't explain what the outcome will be. 
    Box says:
    The information on the iPhone "Susan's iPhone" is synced with another user account.  Do you want to sync this iPhone with the information from this user account instead?
    (Choices:  "Merge Info mergest th einformation on this iPhone with the information from this user account.  OR "Replace Info" replaces the information on this iPhone with the information from this user account.  )
    My best guess would be 'Merge info" but then, will I end up with double everything?  I have many hundreds of contacts and years of calendars.
    It seems with Apple I'm always cleaning up one mess after another.  Today when installing iTunes, it corrupted my Outlook and I had to repair Outlook. So it would be a nightmare to have double of everything on my phone and on my computer. 
    Does anyone have a clue as to what to expect? 

    On a PC with Windows or with Paralels iTunes 8.2 has an option for Outlook which works with Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 (if it works - see my post on a case where it doesn't ...)

  • Replacing library after hard drive crash

    My hard drive crashed and I had no back up. I'm trying to create a new library on my iPod. I can download songs into a new library in iTunes but it won't let met download it to my iPod. The old library remains on my iPod and can only be played on the iPod not in iTunes (the library is grayed out in iTunes). How do I delete the old library off the iPod and then download the new library onto the iPod without losing everything?

    WHen you connect the ipod are you getting any messages? Usually in these cases you get a message and need to hit NO because if you hit YES it wipes the ipod clean.
    Or are you connecting the ipod while holding shift and ctrl keys?

  • Ipod to Itunes reload after hard drive crash

    My hard drive crashed and now my ipod is correct and the backup I reloaded onto itunes does not match.  How do I get itunes to match my ipod?  I do not really want to recreate all the playlists as that would take a great deal of time.Thanks

    If you do a Google search on "ipod transfer" you will see relevant links. Basically, you have to use a third-party utility to transfer song files from iPod to computer. Some of the links will be "how to" articles.
