If you still have the old computer and it is a MAC, the Lightroom 5 serial numbers are in a text file.

    I just purchased LR5 online and installed it on my PC. I entered the serial number I was given and it said "this is an upgrade serial number. The serial number from your previous version of LR is also required." Since I just bought it I don't have a previous serial number. What do I enter?

    You return the upgrade version since it was purchased in error
    Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order
    Purchase a full version.

  • My new MacBook Pro keeps asking for my password in any application that I am in. I transferred from old Mac Pro via Time Machine

    My new MBP will randomly ask for my password. It doesn't matter what application I am in, it could be in the middle of watching a dvd. The window will pop up.This is my second MBP, my last one kept crashing, and it was finally replaced. Can anyone help, please?
    Thanks

  • Trusted certificates from your previous version of Adobe Reader were found.

    After upgrading Adobe Reader from 10 to 11, some users are getting "Adobe Reader Security - Trusted certificates from your previous version of Adobe Reader were found.  Would you like to import them."  I need to know what registry settings we can modify to either set this automatically to "Import" or "Use Default"  I need to add one of these options into our Adobe Reader Settings GPO that is using group policy preferences.  This only appears for users who have data in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\Security and only the very first time the user opens Adobe Reader after the upgrade per user profile on a given server.

    I'm not sure this is true: "If they don't exist then there is no dialog. " Could be, but I've never heard of it.
    However, acrodata files perform a number of functions for several features, so removing them is unwise. Also, they will just come back when a user exercizes certain features.
    Better to just turn off the feature with the supported preference.

  • I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers.

    I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers. and both are on a stable wireless connection

    Logging into itunes store on each machine wth different Apple IDs is OK Autorising each others machines with the other Apple ID is OK. This is completley separate from Home Sharing
    For Home Sharing to work you need to
    File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share.
    You need to select one of the two Apple IDs you are using and ENTER THIS ON BOTH MACHINES WHEN CREATING THE HOME SHARE.
    Home sharing will then work

  • I tried to run BootCamp on my new macbook pro, but i could not partition because of an apparent bad sector

    I tried to run BootCamp on my new macbook pro, but i could not partition because of an apparent bad sector.
    I reformatted the macbook, but the mac could not even boot up Mac OS Lion.
    As such, I had to go down to my retailer and reinstall Lion.
    What exactly went wrong?

    When I tried to bootcamp a few days ago, the partition could not work.
    My technician told me that there is a bad sector.
    So he reformatted, and Lion disaappeard. There was no O.S at all.
    I went down to my retailer just now.
    They ran a system check on the RAM, and the HDD.
    They did not find any bad sector, and everything was okay.
    They reinstalled Lion and now its okay again
    But I'm afraid to try and bootcamp again because they same thing might happen?

  • My MacBook Pro is asking for a password, when trying to play DVD. Anybody experienced that before.

    One of user's MacBook Pro is asking for a password, when trying to play DVD. Anybody experienced that before?
    Maybe the DVD itself is password protected, the user is travelling abroad.
    Thank you in advance

    Hi m,
    My guess is the DVD is from another region than the one the optical drive is set to. Region changes are limited to 5 total, so it asks for the admin password to make sure you want to do it/allow it. After #5, the drive is locked to that region forever.

  • Just bought a new MacBook pro to replace my old PC.  I have LR 4 on disk and LR 5 upgrade on disk and need to know how to load LR on my new Macbook Pro.  Also how do I transfer photos?

    I'm not very good with computers and need help.  My LR 4 and LR 5 upgrade are on disk but my new MacBook Pro doesn't use disk.  How do I load LR on my new computer?  Also, how do I get the photos from LR on my old computer to the new computer?

    You can download Lightroom thru the link(s) below.  If you only want to install the version 5 upgrade you do not need to install 4 first - you likely just need to provide the serial number for it when you activate 5.

    As far as transferring photos goes, that is something you might get help for in the Photoshop Lightroom forum.  But you could wait here and see if anyone knows, or you could search Google and probably find out how.

  • Can't load fcp studio on new macbook pro/os 10.6.2

    I just got a brand new macbook pro and wanted to load my fcp studio 1 but it is saying I don't have the proper hardware. It want tell me exactly what hardware. I just bought this computer, so I can not understand the prob. Is it the operating system---OS 10.6.2?
    I bought upgrade disks for fcp studio 2--what happens now? Has Apple made it so an older version of FCP isn't compatible with newer macBooks?

    FCP versions 1, 2, 3, 4, 4.5 and 5 will only run on a PPC processor Mac.
    FCP versions 5.1 and 6 will run on both PPC and Intel Macs.
    FCP version 7 will only run on IntelMacs.

  • Trying to set up my brand new MacBook Pro and it does not connect with the wifi network I have selected for this purpose. Nothing wrong with the wifi as both my iPad and iPhone are happily connected. Suggestions for connecting to the wifi network accepted

    Setting up my brand new MacBook Pro and it will not connect to the wifi network. Nothing wrong with the network which is happily working for my iPhone and iPad! Suggestions accepted for making this connection.

    Fixing this is a two step process:
    1) System preferences > WiFi/Airport ...
    ... check [√] Ask to join new networks
    "Known networks will be joined automatically.
    If no known networks are available, you will
    be asked before joining a new network."
    2) Remove unwanted networks from the list of "known" networks under
    System preferences > WiFi/Airport > (Advanced) > | Airport/WiFi pane ...
    Close the window and save changes. If no joy, do a restart to ensure you are playing under the new rules.

  • Trying to load HP printer software onto Macbook Pro...

    Hi all.  I am trying to install HP printer software on my Macbook Pro thats running Windows 7 (I'm booting into Windows from Boot Camp).  During the install process, I keep getting an error message that something is wrong with my USB drivers and USB software.  The exact error messages are as follows:
    1.  "This computer does not have the necessary USB software support to allow completion of a USB installation.  The installation cannot continue until this is resolved."
    "Required Action: Click Cancel to exit this software installation.  In order to install this as a USB device, please refer to your computer documentation or USB add-in card documentation for more information about USB drivers."
    AND
    2.  "This computer does not have the necessary USB hardware support enabled to allow completion of a USB installation.  The installation cannot continue until this is resolved."
    "Required Action:  Click Cancel to exit this software installation.  In order to install this as a USB device, please refer to your computer documentation or USB add-in card documentation for more information.  If you are sure your computer has the physical USB connectors, refer to documetation about how to enable USB in the BIOS."
    HP support suggested I go into device manager and remove all USB drivers.  I tried this with horrible results.  First, I was unable to uninstall most of the USB drivers because my computer would freeze up during the uninstall and I'd have to reboot.  Second, of the drivers I was able to uninstall, I would lose control of stuff like the trackpad and keyboard functionality.  I explained all this to HP support and they said to contact Apple tech support for a proper "USB uninstall flow".  So, here I am seeking dire assistance.  Can anyone help?

    HP Printer's software is suspect in relation to Lion (they told me that my HP Photosmart B89100 drivers would be Lion ready by it's release. Well, they probably got overrun by the counting all their leftover TabletOS door-stops, and forgot to make the drivers
    Apple installs its own programs under Windows called Apple Software Update. If you go under Programs, you'll find it there. Try it out just to be sure.

  • Fcp7 will not load on to my new macbook pro with mavericks

    I am trying to move Final Cut Studio from my old macbook pro to my 17" macbook pro i7.  It prompts me to add the serial number and then it says that the serial number is invalid.  Is there a problem this program and the Mavericks OS?

    How are you trying to install FCP? You can't just copy it, Pro Apps need to be installed to work.
    When you got your original computer with the pre-installed FCP-7 weren't there discs included?
    You would be best served to install from them.
    Also, if you are running FCP-X there are specific installation guidelines to have both FCP-7 and FCP-X installed on the same computer:
    See this document:
    Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, Compressor 4: Installation best practices - Apple Support
    about half way down the page.

    Also: If you are doing a clean install of FCP-7, then you should use

    from Digital Rebellion (free) to remove the traces of your previous attempt to install.

  • I am having a difficult time downloading HD movies from iTunes. I tried on both my imac and new macbook pro but 95% of the time I get error 8008 (corruption). I can stream HD content from Netflix and hulu w/o problems. I also empty my download folder.

    After it started happening on my imac I tried to download on my ne macbook pro but the same thing is happening. I can stream without any ral noticiable problems from my icloud library, Netflix, and Hulu but when I try to download so I can back them up I get the 8008 error code. I have contacted spple support and am still waitin on an answer. Sometimes the error will happen towards the beginning and other times when it is almost downloaded. I can tell it is atarting when the time remaining starts to fluctuate, then the download bar may stop ans start over. It seems to be an icloud problem but I thought I would check to see if anyone else has had the problem and was able to get it taken care of. It should be noted that everyonce in a while I do get a complete download.

    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads   Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~)  refers to your Home directory.
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.
    Also review this support aticle as it might be causing due to internet connection: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    Hope this helps.
