HT1443 Can I install or purchase a new OS system?
I am looking to upgrade my OS is that possible? Can I purchase a newer version because it wont let me download one?
Go to the menu/About this Mac and it will show you the memory installed.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
Application Compatibility
You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.
If you have applications that you want to use that aren’t compatible, you can retain Snow Leopard and create a new partition to install Mountain Lion on or you can run Snow Leopard server in a virtual mode.
There are updates for iWork and iLife progams which are compatible.
If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again. You can make a bootable DVD/USB stick to install using this free program.
Bootable USB Flash Drive – Diskmaker X
If you need/want more RAM, the 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM serveral times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service.

Your key cannot work in CC, it's newer version, and would require a new purchase.

...and it's content?
While your method will get the app itself across.. the content will present a possible problem, though once it is updated to 9.1.8 the OP could try the "in menu' option to download content but the essential stuff normally gets installed from the DVDs initially with LP9 Boxed set... so it may not be as easy as simply copying across the app only.
However, worth giving a try..... -

i want to install lightroom previously installed on a macbook on a new macbook. I get an error message when I try to use the same serial number. How can I install lightroom on my new mac?
Oliver,
Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.
Here is some help on activation if this is the issue:

I want to install my original SnowLeopard (from the installation disc) to a partition I created in the now upgraded Mavericks OSX, How can I install it on the new partition?
That's easy.
2 methods:
1. Change the Startup Disk in System Preferences, then restart:
2. Hold down the "Option" key while starting or restarting the Mac. Then chosse the partition that you want to startup from.
The 1st mehtod is the quickest, because you don't have the additional step of choosing the drive. Plus, whatever you have selected in System Preferences becomes the default startup drive. -

Can i install bootcamp on the new iMac late 2012 "27"?
can i install bootcamp on the new iMac late 2012 "27" without fushion drive?
You have two possibilities:
1. Buy the USB SuperDrive and install Windows from a disc.
2. Use an USB drive with the Windows 7 installer inside.
Boot Camp isn't compatible with Windows 8, so you will have to wait. Also, the Late 2012 is only compatible with the 64-bit Windows 7 edition -

Can I install Tiger in my NEW 21.5" iMac ?
Can I install Tiger on my NEW 21.5" iMac ?
Machine bought new - Nov. '09.
While I do like some of the features in Snow Leopard... almost all my existing software plus the Sims 2
games will apparently NOT run (or run well).Rosetta does exactly that. It was created to run MacOS X programs that only ran on PPC macs to run on intel processors. Rosetta would translate PPC machine instructions into intel instrucions on-the fly.
Classic Mode was a whole separate operating system. Rosetta merely translates PPC to intel so it is generally invisible to the user.
I have used Quicken '05, iMovie HD, AppleWorks and Microsoft Office under Rosetta with no issues. Photoshop 7 was the only program I have that choked and would not run. I would guess that the Sims program would be most likely to not run. They might have an intel update available, I know that Zoo tycoon 2 had a patch to allow for intel processers, The Sims might, too.
Some programs have "fat binaries" with both versions. If you are curious, you can see whether you are running intel or PPC-translated by using the activity monitor.
You don't need to run Rosetta separately, if it is needed it turns itself on, so the programs install normally. In fact, some programs needed Rosetta just to run the installer, the actual software ran on the intels.
I think I have the same machine as you, I just bought my new 21.5" iMac last month. I love it by they way, a DVD that would have taken all night to burn was done in a little over an hour! -
Okay I use iPhoto 6 on an older mac and don't want to upgrade past 10.4.11. Can I upgrade iPhoto without the newer operating system? For the life of me I can't get iPhoto to recognize my camera reliably - although it does sometimes. Any advice, help?
The latest version of iPhoto which can operation with OS X 10.4.11 is iPhoto 7 which is part of iLife 08. You might be able to find a copy of iLIfe 08 on Amazon.com or Ebay.com.
iLife 08's full system requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 processor
iMovie ’08 requires a Mac computer with an Intel processor, a Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0 GHz or faster), or an iMac G5 (1.9 GHz or faster)
iDVD ’08 requires 733MHz or faster processor
512 MB of RAM; 1 GB recommended; high-definition video requires at least 1 GB of RAM
3 GB of available disk space
DVD drive required for installation

I have an up to date version of Aperture on my Mac Pro, and I would like to install it on my new Mac book Pro. I have the original installation disks for Aperture 1 and 2. I cant remember how I got to Aperture 3, I think it was via a web download but not sure. I have checked my purchases in the App Store but there is no indication of me buying an upgrade to Aperture 3.
Ive tried to download it from the App Store but it wants me to pay again.
Can anyone help on how to install Aperture 3 on my new Macbook .
Many thanks regards AlfThen you can download the Trial version of Aperture 3 and unlock it with your serial numbers - you will need all three for all three versions: A current link to the Trial version is in this support document, also instructions on how to reinstall on different systems:
Aperture 3.4: May quit unexpectedly on launch after updating
Regards
Léonie
BTW: Your Aperture 3 serial number will be displayed in the "About" panel - the panel you see, when you use the command "About Aperture" from the Aperture menu in the main menu bar.
