I bought a Mac PowerBook in 2008. It came with InDesign CS3. I did not use it. My computer was stolen in 2014. I had backed up the hard drive. I reinstalled on my new Mac laptop. I want to use the CS3 now. It will not download or install. What do I do?

From where are you trying to download it?

MacBook pro boots to prohibited sign and apple has replaced the Hard drive and it's still didnt fix. They want to replace the hard drive AGAIN?!

I've had this issue for almost a month now, and they have tried multiple things to fix it from software re-installs to wiping the drive and they replaced the hard drive and cable but now that it is still not working they are suggesting installing another hard drive after it clearly didn't work the last time they replaced it. Help! I've contacted customer relations and the only thing she told me over and over is that they are working diligently to fix it. I'm a music teacher and that is currently the only computer i have and I use July to prep all my lesson plans and music. School starts august 18th and I feel like I'll be back in the store with the same problem again right when school starts. Any suggestions, ill probably be writing a letter very soon, any other suggestions?
Btw I have tried not backing up from time machine to rule out the possibility of something of mine corrupting it and it still did it.
Thanks for your help apple community!

Wholly Crap, No Joke, the lady from the apple store called me up at like 5pm and said "You know what?" and my reply was....... "what" and she goes, "You've been very patient and we understand you've been in and out in the last 3 weeks so we've decided to just give you a brand new computer" She gave me a brand new MBP! SO FREAKIN STOKED, my 2008 macbook pro for a new 2011 2.2ghz with 4 gigs of memory (Upgradeable to 8!!) The only downside is that since I use this for recording audio with Pro Tools well as recording audio with Pro Tools I needed the 7200rpm drive like my last one, and with her eyes i felt the "Beggars Cant be choosy" look flow upon me. But I shrugged it off and She actually told me to take this one, use it for the next week while the one she is ordering for me comes in!! So Bottom line IMHO (first time i've ever used that acronym in a forum) Apple Definitely has some awesome customer service!!

I have a whitemacbook 13-inch 2010 model. The hard drive crashed right before my final was due. It was not Photoshop, although 2 GB was not near enough to run it, but a corrupted file on the hard drive. should i get a new hard drive, or a new computer?

I have a limited budget. should I just replace the hard drive and get more RAM, and keep it going for
2-3 years? (this was a suggestion from the tech guy at school) or go ahead and buy a mac mini to get me through school? Or splurge and get a new iMac? I dont want to invest too much too soon due to the law of obsoletion, and of course my limited finances.

Well as I suspected I love OWC company I pulled out the mac hard drive , they offered me a Macdrive free trial program to check your drive on PC Windows and yesSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS it all there nothing lost
woohooooo , thank you but nothing is dead, when you have faith , this was a prayer answered big time I wanted a pro so much and I get to use my 500 plust 250 plus 120 GB drives all of them
ladies and gentlemen and I get to keep the 2 GB in from my macbook 13 inch and sell all the parts
yipeee
thanks for the support, now the case is Solved. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Invalid b-tree node and the disk can't be repaired. Is it worth the reformat or is the hard drive trashed? This is a Mac mini, I've had it since 2010 and already had to replace the hard drive once.

Swapped out the monitor on my Mac mini tonight and it wouldn't start back up. Managed to boot off the install disk and run disk utility, which gave the invalid b tree node error. Wasn't able to repair the disk, suggested a reformat. Is this worth my time? Or is the disk toasted? I got it in 2010, it's out of warranty and has already had the hard drive replaced once. Thanks!

If you want to save the data from the drive, Phoenix might be able to copy (clone) it off on another volume. You can check it out at:
http://scsc-online.com/Phoenix.html
Phoenix does a file copying cloning, not block copy cloning, so a new index is generated on the drive when the copy is being made. If none of the files got lost, meaning just the index is screwed up, I would think this would work.
Regarding the hard drive an index problem isn't a hard drive problem. That hard drive may be in perfect working order, especially since it's fairly new.

My desktop computer crashed and I purchased a new laptop. I was able to salvage the hard drive and files. Can I pull my bookmarks and cookies from the old hard drive and install them on the new computer with FireFox installed?

I have saved the entire contents of the failing hard drive on an external hard drive. I need to know where the bookmarks and cookie files are loacated and where they need to go on the new system.
Thank You

Can I put the Hard Drive from old iBook into new iBook?

I need a new motherboard for my old iBook which has no other damage. New motherboard costs about the same as a new iBook;
so can I have the drive from the old iBook put into a new iBook? Old iBook is about 2 years old.
Thanks!

Gareth; there are no iBooks with Intel processors. These are MacBooks.
As for your question, it's unlikely that you could, as the new Macs appear to have different firmware on the drives. It would also invalidate the warranty on a new computer.
Far easier to put the old drive into an external FW or USB enclosure and use it to transfer your files, applications and settings during first boot of the new Mac using the Setup Assistant.

My laptop hard drive died and I have replaced it. I want to import the music on my iPod, but I get a message that it is synced with another library (old hard drive). How do I import the music onto the new hard drive? I don't want to lose it.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

I had backed up all my info on iCloud on my new iPhone. I am setting up the new phone- I checked back up by iCloud- Now it says no back up available. You can set up as a new iPhone or restore from iTunes back up-What should I do?

I just got a replaced iphone and I checked back up on icloud, entered apple id and password. Now it says no backups available. You can set up as a new iphone or restore from an iTunes back up. What should I pick because I had checked back up with icloud and all of my info was supposed to be backed up?

You may need to update the software. For now, set up as a new iPhone and then go to Settings > General > Software Update. Update to the latest iOS (5.1.1), then go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings to go through setup again and see if your backup appears.

Apparently, this issue is a common one. I have also tried importing songs from an iTunes on an old pc I no longer use.

How do I remove the hard drive to reinstall a new one on my 2004 ibook G4?

My mom dropped it and now I can't reinstall anything on it. Can't find any directions in my user guide. And yes, she is paying for me to fix it.

If from the Installer disc, inserted in the computer, and used to start the machine,
(holding C key down) until you get the Installer, you do not choose to Install it at all;
but instead carefully click ahead only until there is a main menu bar in the top of
the screen, it would say Installer (instead of Finder) and in that bar across the top,
you have optional menus that can drop-down when you click on them.
From the Installer's optional drop-down menu bar, you can find Utilities; one of them
is Disk Utility, another is Startup Disk, and there are other items. If you use Disk
Utility, it can attempt to Repair disk, and also be used to Verify disk; choose Repair
and let it try to repair, since this will generate an Error report, if damaged or not fixable
with the tool you have. The Verify will check the SMART status of the hard disk drive.
It will likely show a 'failed' report. Disk Utility has two screens, one if you click on the
name of the hard disk drive, in the lefthand margin in D.U., and another if you click on
the brand name (not a given name, such as Macintosh HD, but Fujitsu, or Seagate, etc.)
When done with this confirmation exercise, you may be able to choose to Quit Disk Utility
from its own menu item, and return to Installer. Then choose Startup Disk from the same
menu drop-down you chose D.U. from, and see if the hard disk drive in the computer is
there to be chosen as a startup disk. It may show but not work. You may be able to get
the installer disc #1 out of the computer by holding down the F12; or if you have a USB
mouse, have that plugged in ahead of time, and hold the mouse down on restart to see
if this will eject the installer disc from the computer's optical drive.
If not, you will have to try one of the suggested methods of removing that disc; one of
them in another thread in Discussions pointed to a macbook topic link where a disc
was removed from a slot-drive and the process would be similar. Or, knowing where
the disc is, hope it can work from there later on, after replacing the hard disk drive or
using an external FireWire drive to install a test system to, and then eject that disc.
You may have lucked out & the hard disk drive may be the only casualty in this accident.
In your other thread on this topic, posted to the back of a 'solved' topic, I replied and
noted a different forum where two or three great links on how to remove and replace
an iBook G4's hard disk drive are posted. {I know, because I posted them there...}

I had the Hard Drive contents transferred to a new Desktop via the Genius Bar

but I forgot to ask them if they then wipe that hard drive so I can sell the old one. Does anyone know off hand if this is something they do or if they leave all the data on?

You need DVD Player. It should be in your Applications folder. If it is in there go to System Preferences>CDs & DVDs and for "When you insert a video DVD" make sure DVD Player is selected.

Format the hard drive and reinstall Mac OS X if i have lost the dvd's

Hi
I own a 2011 macbook pro 17" and it my disk is almost full so the computer is frezzing all the time and stuff. So i thought of formatting the drive and reinstalling the OS but i can't find the dvd's that came with it and i'm really not sure if there were any dvd's that came with it. Why do I do?
I have a friend who has a 2011 macbook pro 13". Will his dvd's work on mine?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Reduce data off of it so it's less than 80% filled, use a external drive.
That's all you need basically.

Reinstall apps on new mac

Being new to apple, having purchased my iMac the other day, I foolishly did not uptick the box for having the login via the cloud, then compounded it
by allowing the system to autofilll the passwords, I could not find them again and after many hours going mad formatted the hard drive and reinstalled Yosemite.
Obviously the apps (iPhoto,iMovie,Garage Band, Pages,Numbers and Keynote have gone is there anyway I can download these from Apple fox or do I have to pay for them after paying a small fortune for the system
