I can't reinstall the software

I needed to get some sleep so I cut short the Erase Free Space process and now I can't see icons on my Desktop and there is 0 space available and I can't even do a reinstall of the system software. Is there a way around this? Someone advised me to use Terminal but I could not see what to do. I could not see a list of anything that might include whatever needs to be deleted.

HI,
Try booting in Safe Mode You might be able to free up enough disk space in order to boot your Mac. If not...
Insert your SL disc and perform and Erase and Install.

In the future keep track of available disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*

I've had a laptop stolen with my Adobe software installed. How can I reinstall the software?

I still have the product keys for both Photoshop Elements and Adobe Acrobat Pro X. Can I and how do I install the software onto my new laptop without having uninstalled it from the stolen machine? I also have a subscription to Indesign, and don't have a product key, so any ideas on how I do this?

As far as installing it on the new machine goes, you are allowed to install on two machines, so there should not be an issue with installing unless you already had it installed on two machines. If you need to download the software to install it then you might findlinks to do so via your Adobe account online. Otherwise, you should be able to find downloads available in the following site (be sure to follow instructions to the letter)... http://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl
You can most likely have Adobe Support take care of deactivating the software on the stolen machine. Here are some links to help make contact:

You will need to contact them regarding InDesign if you cannot find the information you need via your Adobe account online.

I purchased the multi-user iworks and recently had to replace my white imac's hard drive but didn't pay to fix the CD drive. My iworks does not have a serial number on the box and now that my CD drive isn't working how can I reinstall this software?

I purchased the multi-user iworks (yes back when it was new, 2009 or 2010 and recently had to replace my white imac's hard drive (but didn't pay to fix the CD drive). My iworks does not have a serial number on the box and now that my CD drive isn't working how can I reinstall this software?

Buy or borrow an external USB optical drive.
See the confirmation email or covering letter to obtain the serial number. If you have lost it, contact the supplier.

Hi, Accidentally somebody screw up Photoshop CS4 and InDesign CS4 Master edition on a MAC computer in the school. The install discs did not start to run therefore I can't reinstall the 2 missing programs. I want to install the softwares, therefore I download those from here. The downloaded program refuse to accept the serial number which was given to the school when they purchased the Master Collection CS4 MLP A00. Thank you for your help, in advance.

Hi Jeff,
Thank you. I am a little bit busy at work, sorry for the delayed reply. I tried to solve the problem, but it still exists. The 3rd of the Adobe disk is damaged someway. I tried to run on my mac at home and it has a failure. So I think we have no other choice that to download the full pack of master collection. I had a discussion with the IT expert and he figured out that company does not exist any more from where they purchased the Adobe Master Collection for Mac and PC. So If you would be kind to help me, what kind of information ID or any kind of document would be needed to identify the purchaser institute (us). I don't think any of us has an account at the Adobe. I will try to figur out. I desperately need to replace Photoshop and InDesign as without them it's really harsh to teach the kids fot the graphic design.
Sincerely yours.
Peter

I know that my Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is missing. It won´t reinstall or update the software. Where can I get the software so I can synch my Ipod nano again?

I know that my Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is missing.When i try to reinstall it in the device manager it says that one of the installers is unable to reinstall the software. I don´t know where to look for the software to get the driver going again, so please help if you´ve got any solutions to my problem. I´ve spent hours and hours looking in the internet but i couldnt find anything helpful. PLEASE HELP
PS: I´ve got a Windows 7 PC so the guy from the Apple Store refused to help me

You need to completely uninstall iTunes from your computer and then download and install it again.
You do know that Microsoft has a web site, right?

Troubleshooting after reinstalling the software that came with my macbook

Hi, I'm a new user of mac products and my macbook crashed refusing to start up (it would just turn on and keep loading till froze).
I followed exactly the steps "Problem meet solution" in the little manual and had to use the Mac OS X Install Disk 1.
The disk utility repaired the HD volume (error found: incorrect block count for file flatfile.db - should have been 708 instead of 354), then still couldn't start up on HD. Did it all over again, repaired HD again (this time error: incorrect block count for file .store.db - should have been 5202 instead of 2601), but this time went further selecting "continue" and reinstalling Mac OS X from the discs that came with my macbook. Reinstalled - successfully finally - by chosing the option "previous settings archived in new file".
The only problem i had was at login ... it would not recognize my user password... which was the same one since i first turn on my new bought macbook. Anyways, i used again the disc 1, selected change my password and this time i managed to sign in with the new one (same old user).
1)NOW, question: do i have to re-update my software? Because before I had Mac OS X 10.5.2 (i always kept my computer up to date) and now, after reinstalling the software I have Mac OS X 10.5
or i should be able to reactivate them from the Previous Systems file (in this case how do i do that?
2) Can't figure still out my master password that unlocks the file vault plus i can't activate again the root admin user from Directory Utility ... i click it but doesn't do anything. Why is this and how can be sorted out?
my macbook details:
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook3,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MB31.008E.B02
SMC Version: 1.24f2
Could someone help me with this? Please note it's my first time troubleshooting a computer ever and that my knowledge is not that vast in the field ... so please use simple steps/terms that i can follow.
Thank you,
Laurie

Thank you very much for answering so prompt to my questions.
1) yes, i will take all the updates. and ok, i won't touch the previous systems file
2) in regards to master password ... i tried all the passwords i ever used. not sure it's just "forgetting". Reason: as I mentioned before: The only problem i had after reinstalling the software was at login ... it would not recognize my user password... (and I add, nor the master password) which was the same one since i first turn on my new bought macbook.
As i couldn't sign in, used again the disc 1 to reset my administrator password and it did save but with the notice that i should "use the keychain access to reset the password for users login" .This time i managed to sign in with the new one (same old user). Then I went to the keychain clicked login and changed the password for keychain login. Did i do good? do I have to change something else. please let me know as don't really know.... i just follow help advice.
3)in regards to root password ... i had it also before ... using help on "security" issue ... as i connect to different networks ... i read that one could help ... please understand that i'm learning as i go, as this time i don't have someone else to do those things for me. so why doesn't it activate anymore? and why would it be better not to activate it?
4)speaking of learning, from my initial post where i posted the errors that my disk utility found ... what do u think caused my computer to freeze? i was browsing on safari facebook as well as I had both yahoo messenger and skype opened... first the messenger froze, then crushed, then i restarted it , then froze, then all the rest froze, without responding to force quit.
5) after reinstalling the software, i still have yahoo messenger and other applications.... is that safe to use now? they are still in my applications
and last 6) did I do everything correct when my computer would not start up?
thank you

After downloading latest Reader software (11) on my Mac (OS10.7.5) I cannot print pdf files on either of my two printers. How do I uninstall and reinstall the software? Adobe's instructions are only for Window devices.

After downloading latest Reader software (11) on my Mac (OS10.7.5) I cannot print pdf files on either of my two printers. I suspect corrupt software. How do I uninstall and reinstall the software? Adobe's on-line instructions are only for Window devices.

You can just drag the file to the trash. If you want you can remove the pdf plug-in from the internet-plug in folder, but that should not be necessary to correct your problem.

Put it in DFU mode so that iTunes recognizes it in Recovery mode. Restore.

After upgrading E71 I can not reinstall the progra...

After upgrading E71 I can not reinstall the programmers I had before on memory card while I m able to install them if I choose phone memory
but for any new program which was not installed before the software upgrade I can install them in the memory card or phone memory without any problem
is there any advice?
Thank you

do the serach on the internet for all the applications that you want to install and are unable to do, get fresh copies of those files downloaded and try to download the new, fresh file applications to your phone this should work for you.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

I have an issue with Acrobat, after a few uses, the program will not load, the only way to fix it is to completely uninstall the CS suite wipe the drive and reinstall the software, then after a few uses it stops working, how do i fix this?

Not sure of an answer to your basic question, but it may be that you can run a repair (on Windows --> Control Panel>Programs & Features and run the repair on Acrobat). If that fixes the issue, at least temporarily, at least you will not be reinstalling everything -- a real pain.
Next, open Acrobat and go to the Help to run the updates and be sure you are current. On some OSs, the updates are critical.

I uninstalled Adobe Reader X to address a problem and cannot reinstall the software.

I uninstalled Adobe Reader X to address a problem and now I am unable to reinstall the software. Ideas?

OK - you can download the standalone installed for Adobe Reader directly from the Adobe FTP site.
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.2/en_US/
Save the executable file onto your computer and then double-click on it - the installer should run as normal.
If you want to install a different language, go to this address instead:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.2/

Can't reinstall N95 software

I'm having problems with Nokia Map Loader and Nokia Maps. I tried various things and got nowhere (even reformatting the memory card doesn't work), so I called support and they told me I need to reinstall the phone software. I downloaded Nokia software updater and when I run it, it just says "updating the software" for a few minutes, then a screen comes up saying "phone recovery" and tells me to take out the battery, put it back in, etc, then click retry. It just keeps doing this. I can't reinstall the firmware.
I called support again, they told me to reinstall PC suite, which I have done, but it still does the same thing. They told me that if this is the case I will need to take the phone to a care centre to be reflashed with software.
Before I have to go all the way to a care centre, has anyone else got any other ideas? The firmware version I have is 11.0.026 which it says is up to date.

Going to a NCP(Nokia Care Point) is probably the best solution.
But before you do, try this.
*#7370#
This will reset your phone and hopefully wipe anything off that is causing your error.
Then try connecting your phone back to the computer and try the maps again.
If this fails, NCP it is im afraid.
My posts are my opinion and in no way the direct views of Nokia.
If my posts are helpful, please give me some KUDOS using the green star on the left.

Hold down the Option key while you boot your Mac. Then, it should show you a selection of devices. Click your flash drive and it will boot from that.

I can't reinstall the software
