I do not have a DVD Drive- !!

I recvd Photoshop Elements 10 for a bday gift.  It was purchased at Best Buy on 2/4/12.  My sister was unaware of my OS &/or hardware & told the salesman she needed a version that would open with just about anything- he assured her that this is what I needed.  I am new to Photoshop products and was VERY eager to get started (especially after taking over a 1000 pics over the wknd). 
Apparently, I need a DVD drive to install this?  I've already opened the product and cannot take it back for a refund.  It was quite a "luxury" item since we do not have that kind of money to spend on computer programs.  What can I do to install & use at the very least the Photoshop part...really no need for the video part (yet anyway).
Any help would be appreciated.  Unless you suggest I get a DVD drive installed on my computer...I would have to repeat...I do not have any money for something like that.   Thank you to who ever can help me.

  Don’t worry you can download the free trial directly from Adobe. It’s the same as the full product. After you successfully install the trial simply enter the serial number from the back of your DVD box and it becomes permanent.

  • We do not have a dvd drive. how do we install the photoshop software?

    I would like to install but do not have a dvd drive. how do we that?

    There is no macbook of any vintage that doesn't have a dvd drive if it has any kind of optical drive, but you can always install the trial and enter your serial number into that. You will lose the special link to uploading to costco if you do it that way, though.

  • HT1539 How do you redeem Digital Downloads if your device does not have a DVD drive?

    How do you redeem Digital Downloads if your device does not have a DVD drive?

    If the redemption comes only on a disk, then you will have to get access to a DVD drive, either by borrowing or purchasing one, or by using the Remote Disk feature if you have another computer available that does have a DVD drive.
    Regards.

  • HT1539 I have the new imac and it does not have a dvd drive. How can I download digital copy of a movie?

    Some Blu rays and DVDs come with digital copies and you inset them into the dvd drive and it downloads the movie to itunes and then you can put them on any iDevice. The new iMac does not have a dvd or disc drive. What can I do?

    You will either need to borrow or purchase an external DVD drive, or if you have access to another computer that has a DVD drive you may be able to use Remote Disk:

  • If I buy a dvd copy of elements can I use that serial number or Key to install it on my imac that does NOT have a DVD drive?

    Buying the DVD is less expensive but I don't have a DVD drive.  So I want to know if I can use the serial number or product key from the box to license a trial download?

    It should work.  You can always contact Adobe Support if it doesn't.

  • Do new macs not have a dvd drive

    I think my emac has died.  When. I switch it on i get a blue screen with a sign in to apple but the mouse does not work.  the only way I can switch it off is by the main wall socket.  It is a 2003 running ox10.4
    guess its time to bite the bullet and buy a new machine.  What to go for?  Do new macs not have dvd drives any more?

    I'd like to figure this out if you can bear with me. I'm retired too so have time to research Mac stuff when I'm not taking a power nap!
    There are two families of eMacs with two variants each; some have known issues. If you are up to it, please read this Apple article that lets you find your exact eMac variant by serial number:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2395
    Without posting your serial number here, post what model the article says you have.
    If the model returns as "eMac (USB 2.0)" that is a group with very bad logic board issues. Affected eMac USB 2.0 units tend to fall in these ranges of serial numbers:
    G8412xxxxxx- G8520xxxxxx
    YM412xxxxxx - YM520xxxxxx
    VM440xxxxxx - VM516xxxxxx
    Your symptoms sound like it could be this model. Apple had a repair extension program to replace defective logic boards but it expired over two years ago. Today, the fix is not economically feasible.
    Guess I will have to go and look at PCs.
    Consider the 13-inch MacBook Pro I linked. I had a 15-incher that I bough about six years ago because I did not think anything smaller would work for my old eyeballs. However, in June I bought the 13-inch as a refurb directly from Apple for only about US$1000 and, as long as I remember to put on my computer glasses, I have no trouble with the smaller screen.
    Based of the lack of issues with that model reported in the MacBook Pro forums, it seems a reliable model. My son bought one for university as a refurb. I liked it a lot so bought mine in June.  A friend who had been using 1998-vintage Powerbooks until this year liked mine so much that he bought two. You can use them like a  desktop computer. When I'm not using mine away for home, I have a wireless keyboard and mouse set up for it so it's very much like a desktop until until I hit the road.

  • How to activate CS4 on new Mac which does not have CD/DVD drive?

    One answer to this elsewhere in the foum was to copy the discs to a thumb drive, then copy them to the new computer, then use those to install CS4 (or any pre-Cloud version) on the new machine. This works for disc-1. But there's no way to "install" disc-2 or to make the half-complete installation process pick up disc-2. How can I install CS4 on my new Mac?

    Download the installation files and use those to install.

  • How do I load my CS5 onto my new laptop that does not have a disk drive?

    I have my disks and serial number but there in no disk drive on this new laptop.

    That sounds like you are saying you do not have a DVD drive on your computer to insert the discs. No problem. You can download the installer direct from Adobe. All you will need is the serial number.
    Download CS5 products  Photoshop CS5 installers are available for both Windows and Mac.
    For Windows there will be two files, an .exe and a .7z that must be downloaded. The exe will create the installer when run.

  • Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

    Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

    The soon to be released new iMacs don't have a DVD drive. I don't believe that Apple have updated their site to say their USB drive will work, but the expectation is that it will.
    I watched the keynote and when Phil Schiller was presenting the new models I think he mentioned something about it working and he had one on the desk next to the iMac.
    I'm going to check the keynote if it's still up and I'll update my post if I'm wrong.
