I just spent $800 on CS6, got the CD and found out my iMac doesn't have a CD drive. HELP!!!!!

I just got the new iMac, and CS6. How am I supposed to install this software without a CD port????

Buy or borrow an external drive, either from Apple or a third party, use Remote Disk if you have another computer with a DVD drive you can network to:

or if you have access to another Mac use Disk Utility to make a disk image of the CS6 install disk, copy that disk image to your new iMac, and install from that.
Regards.

  • I' ve just got an ipad (the new ipad) as a gift. It's a new one but Unfortunately, i found out that it doesn't have the App Store install. How to install the app? Please advice.

    I just got an ipad (retina display) as a gift. But unfortunately it doesn't have the App Store application installed. How to imstall it. Then i asked the IT to help me to find the solutions. They asked me to RESET the ipad. I tried to reset the ipad but it request 4 letters of password which i'm puzzled coz i don't even create any password yet in this ipad. So how to get the password? Can some one help me to solve this problems. Thanks.

    Your best bet is to contact Apple.  Those conditions should not occur with a new unit.
    I do suggest that you read Chapters 1, 2, and 3.
    If you wish to troubleshoot on your own...
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • My iPhone was on, in a standby position. I wanted to see if I've got a message, pushed the button and found out that my touch-display is off. What can I do? It's just doesn't work. Is something wrong with my battery?

    Is anyone had the same problem? Can I manage it on my own?

    Would you rather upgrade to windows 8, BlackBerry or Android phones? Do you honestly think those don't have problems?
    You waited a lot and chose to buy an early production model. Mistakes happen all the time a factory retools and workers relearn new skills necessary to keep US happy.
    Exercise your rights.... Send it back for a new one. 
    In any case, I feel your frustration. Btw, I love Apple but use a Blackberry

  • TS1424 I've tried and tried and tried to change my privacy password, then emailed Apple, then got some instructions and found out I don't have a recovery email, but I don't know how to set my recovery email...help

    I've tried my hardest to figure out why I can't buy my stupid book for school, and I cannot change my privacy settings because I don't have a recovery email, and every time I press 'set my recovery email' it takes me back tithe same page, logs me in, and then I don't know where to go. And don't tell me it's in 'Password and Settings' because I have been there done that. Please help...

  • How can I transfer the songs from a CD to iTunes if my computer doesn't have a CD drive?

    I have iTunes installed in my personal computer and that's the only computer where I connect my ipod touch (5th generation) and where I have all my music. But the problem is that this personal computer doesn't have a CD drive. I was thinking about installing iTunes on another computer (that does have a CD drive) and transfering the songs from the CD here and then connect my ipod to transfer the album. But will my ipod synce in this new computer and make a security copy and delete all my previous songs (from my personal computer)? And also, will I be able to transfer the album from my ipod to the iTunes library in my personal computer? Or is there any other solution for this? Thank you.

      Or is there any other solution for this?
    Be careful, the method you describe will indeed delete the contents of your iPod. 
    Instead, after you rip your CD on the other computer, copy the resulting song files to a flash drive.  Then copy them from the flash drive to your main computer, and add them to your iTunes library.

  • Help. Just got the latest and greatest ipod touch.  When trying to setup icloud, my email address is verified but when I touch settings, icloud, account tries unsuccessfully to verify account.

    Help. Just got the latest and greatest ipod touch.  When trying to setup icloud, my email address is verified but when I touch settings, icloud, account tries unsuccessfully to verify account.

    Why am I sometimes asked to verify my Apple ID by email?
    When you create a new Apple ID or make certain changes to your account, Apple will require you to sign in by following the link in a verification email. This is to help protect your identity and keep your account secure. Some Apple services, such as FaceTime and GameCenter, require email validation.
    How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
    Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.

  • I just purchased the new iMac and it doesn't have a cd drive, how do i install cs6

    i just purchased the new iMac and it doesn't have a cd drive, how do i install cs6
    can someone please tell me how to install cs6
    I have the disk but no drive oops

    I had the same situation. I have an external disk burner which also acts as a CD/DVD/BlueRay Drive/burner.
    Having access to an external drive will solve the problem. As long as it has a USB cable you should be able
    to plug it into your iMac, spot the disk icon on your desktop and insert the installer disks and load the software.
    Hope that helps.

  • Wife just got the 4s and and i took here 4 every time she gets an app it loads on both phones also here notifications come up on both phones

    wife just got the 4s and and i took here 4 every time she gets an app it loads on both phones also here notifications come up on both phones?

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.
