I need to reinstall my OS without a display

I have a new iMac and will be selling my G5. Rather stupidly I sold my cinema display first, so have nothing to view the G5 in. I've wiped the drive clean using a Firewire 800 in to the iMac. I have the originall install disks, and have inserted the first one and started up, holding down 'C'. As I can't see what's going on, will this have reinstalled the system, or are there things I need to do with the keyboard to make it happen.
Also, I upgraded to Leopard at some point and have the disc. Will I just need to send this with the machine, or is it possible also to install that without my display?
Thanks.

And lastly, Id pull the HD and keep it.
Thanks very much folks. I think I'll just sell it with the discs. Do you know if I can also give the new owner my Leopard disc (startup discs are Tiger) even though I registered it?
Simply because just selling it with your data on there is just stupidity (take no offense) This can lead to various problems in the future especially as this economy goes to **** in a handbasket. I would put it in a nother Mac and reformat it, or simply sell the Mac without an HD unless of course, you use Target Disk Mode to reformat it
Regards.

    If you registered CS4 then you might be able to find the serial number for it in your Adobe account online.  If not, you still might be able to get someone in chat to assist you with getting it.

  • I need help reinstalling a licensed Photoshop Elements 7 without a disk.

    I have a licensed and registered version of Photoshop Elements  7. After I let iYogi "optimize" my system, I can no longer open this program. I don't have the disk any longer. Can someone help direct me on how to fix/reinstall this program without losing the data/photos I have already? I would really appreciate it!

    This might be a problem for you, as Elements 7 is getting on in years now.  You could try logging on to your Adobe account and seeing is the download link is there.  Try asking in the Elements forum where they are bound to know better.

  • I need to reinstall my computer, how do I deal with Premiere pro and After effects?

    Hello,
    As my question states I need to reinstall my computer (laptop) and I'm not quite sure on how to deal with Premiere pro and After effects.
    I am thinking that I need to do some sort of backup and save my projects and footage on a sepparate drive.
    If I reinstall my computer, install my creative suit production premium, and move back all of my projects and footage, won't I have to re-link every single clip?
    I am currently workning on several different projects and having to re-link everything is something I don't even want to think about, that would take me days if not weeks.
    Another option on my mind would be to use Creative cloud. I do have the free version but I have never used it even once before and I'm not quite sure what the purpose of the cloud is and if this is a way to use it.
    I have no idea how to go about this computer reinstalation without either loosing tons of work or having to re-link every single clip used.
    I am videoediting only as a hobby so I have no experience working with other people and sharing projects or the like, wich is my understanding of what the cloud is for.
    Any and all help would be grealty appreciated, I know this is probably really easy but ever since i got my Suit I haven't reinstalled, upgraded och changed my computer so I am just clueless as to how to go about this.
    I have Creative suit production premium, I also have the free Creative cloud.
    It is only Premiere pro and After effects that I am using and am worried about.
    Thank you for any help.

  • Satellite P25: How to reinstall original software without original drive working?

    I have a P25 which has lost its screen and dvd.
    Screen is black with a dim light (graphics control problem I am told by Toshiba repair - requires motherboard change = USD1000).
    The DVD (Mat****u UJ-809?) makes sounds but is not recognizable by Windows.
    So I now use it as a desktop with external screen, keyboard and DVD.
    As with all Windows installation things got clogged up so I now had to reinstall the Windows MC that came with the machine. However, running the Recovery DVD from an external DVD reader does not work.
    As it boots I get a DOS message that there is no DVD and a A> prompt.
    I can install a new XP version, but then I miss all the MC features and have to install all P25 drivers manually.
    I would be very grateful if anyone could assist.
    (If somebody would have a clever idea about the screen as well, please let me know)
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hello,
    I can not say what tests your service repair ran, but the screen problem could likely be an Inverter issue. As for the dvd problem. I have heard that Toshiba laptops need the Toshiba external CD/DVD to boot or otherwise it will not work. I have not ever tried so I can not attest to this, but it could very well likely be that. Assuming that your CD/DVD is listed in hardware manager with a yellow exclamation mark do this, start->run->regedit then do the following.
    go to hkey_local_machine, then system, CurrentControlSet, Control, Then class.
    {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} This is your cd/DVD. Once there in the list to the right verify a component called UpperClass filter, click on it, hit delete, and delete it. Then do the same for lowerfilter. Delete both filters, then right click on My computer, on your desktop. Go to properties->hardware->Device manager. Right click on your cd/DVD and click disenstall. Then go to the top and click find new hardware. It should find your cd/DVD and reinstall the driver without any conflicts. Hope this helps.

  • I purchased CS6 and had problems with the Adobe Acrobat Pro so i uninstalled and now need to reinstall but serial number wont work. How can i reinstall ONLY Adobe Acrobat Pro since its included in CS6?

    I purchased Design Standard CS6 the entire package. I downloaded and installed but I was continually having problems with Adobe Acrobat Pro. I tried updating to the newest version but it only made the problems worse (acrobat was super slow and constantly not responding). So i decided to try to uninstall and then reinstall the program. Well I uninstalled, and then attempted to reinstall ONLY the adobe acrobat pro but it says my serial number (which is for design standard) will not work. Since Acrobat Pro is included in the suite, i thought this wouldnt be a problem. Is there anyway to get around this without uninstalling the entire design standard and reinstalling everything? I only need to reinstall acrobat pro.

    You need to reinstall Acrobat the the Creative Suite, you cannot download it is a separate application and install it that way because it will be looking for a serial number relative to being a singly purchased application.

  • Do I need to reinstall FCS 2 to use ProRes on Lion?

    I just moved to Lion on my Mac Pro. I'm mostly working in Adobe After Effects and Premiere now, but I still would like to use the ProRes codecs.
    I still have FCS 2, which I understand I can install on Lion with a little bit of trickery. I don't know if FCS is totally stable on Lion, and the thing is I may not even need FCS at all… but I'd love to keep ProRes. Is there a way I can continue to encode using ProRes without needing to reinstall FCS 2 via Rosetta?
    Thanks,
    Clint

    I figured it out. I can simply copy the ProRes codec from the Quicktime folder on my Snow Leopard drive to the corresponding folder on my Lion Drive. (I clean installed Lion on my second drive, so I still have my bootable Snow Leopard drive available for things like this)
    Now I can encode using ProRes with my Adobe apps without installing or reinstalling my Mac Pro Apps.

  • I need to reinstall CS2, downloaded from Adobe but when run get serial nr missing, even if I use the one Adobe is providing

    Lost my laptop, and now I need to reinstall CS2, in order to install CS3. I downloaded CS2 from Adobe site but when I run the program I get an error message: Your Adobe Photoshop user name, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue. I was using the serial nr that Adobe is providing on the CS2 download page.
    Any help much appreaciated

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

  • It would appear that there is no longer any support for Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac. I keep getting a notice for updates but when I elect to do so, I get the message that I need to reinstall the program from the original program disks- which I no longer have.

    I’m debating whether to can the app, or just ignore, or turn off the updater. Suggestions?

    If you are at version 9.5.5 that was the end of the line for Acrobat 9.x.  You are correct that Acrobat 9 is no longer supported.  Adobe is only supporting Acrobat X and Acrobat XI at this time.

  • Need to reinstall QuickTime X - no disk

    I have a MacBook that was came with Leopard but now has Snow Leopard; it received a new HD through AppleCare, and was given 10.6.3 during the repair. I was NOT given new install disks.
    I now need to reinstall QuickTime X, which I (foolishly) deleted in a failed attempt to install QT 7 (to play AVI movies).
    Downloaded QuickTime 7 will not install because my system says I have QT X installed.
    How do I re-install QuickTime X (or install 7) to 10.6.3 without any Snow Leopard install disks?
    Thanks.

    Until you get a Snow Leopard disk, you won't be able to find the files anywhere.
    For your original problem, Quicktime 7 should have been installed in the Utilities folder. You can't install the QT7 from a download because it is not the correct version to run on Snow Leopard. If you had a QT7 Pro license, it will work with the version of QT7 that should have been installed.
