Install without disc

Hello,
(sorry for my english i'm french ).
I buy adobe photoshop elements 11 and i'm downloading it. When i installed it there is a message on a the screen "insert the disc photoshop elements 11 to continue". But i haven't the disc because i choose to download the application.
Please help me.

Try downloading the trial. Sometimes that's easier than trying to get the regular download, and you can just enter your serial number into the trial to convert it to a licensed version.

Restore Time Machine backup on fresh Leopard install without disc.

I just got my iMac back from the Apple Store where they fitted a new hard drive with a fresh installation of Leopard. I've got an external drive with a Time Machine backup of my old HD, but don't know how to restore it. Unfortunately I forgot to ask them about it at the store and now realise that I don't have the Leopard install DVD with me, only the Tiger ones that came with the iMac (which obviously don't have the time machine option).
Is there any way to restore my data without the disc? It seems odd that they would install leopard after asking me if I had a time machine backup if I would just have to install it again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'd love to get my Mac back to normal without having to have my Leopard disc sent to me.

You can use Migration Assistant, or re-create your user accounts from scratch and then selectively retrieve just what you need from your backups.

Can Photoshop Elements 10 be installed without discs using the product serial number?

I recently upgraded my Windows 7 system that came with Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements 10 pre-installed to Windows 8. When the installation was complete, the software was gone. The system did not come with the installation discs. I have the product serial numbers because I registered the software. How can I get my software back? Can I download from Adobe using the serial numbers?
Thank you!
Ryan

if you follow all 7 steps, you can dl a trial via one of the links on this page: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a dl problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps. typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem.

Re-install without disc? itunes won't recognize!

I am in the process of restoring my ipods (3 in the family: iPod 2nd gen, 2nd gen mini, and 5th gen w/video). iTunes shows no longer will recognize any of them, only shows up in Windows XP (downloaded update, lost connection somehow).
My real problem is that while I'm trying to restore them, not one of us can locate our installation software/disks that came with them. Is there a site I can download them from or any other way to get them going again? Know where I can buy them if not download-able?
Dell Windows XP

With iTunes 7, you should be able to download the program from Apple's website, connect your iPod, register it, etc. (if this is a new iPod).
Here's where you download iTunes 7: iTunes 7.0.2 installers
Also, in the latest version of iTunes, the way you restore an iPod is through iTunes.
Be sure not to connect multiple iPods to the computer at one time, and try out the possible solutions in these articles:
iPod is recognized by Windows but not iTunes
iTunes 7 doesn't recognize iPod
Also, this could be caused by drive letter confusion on your computer. Try assigning each iPod a different drive letter. See the "Change drive letter" section of this Knowledge base article:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive
I hope that helps you.

Looking to run windows on my MBPro through Bootcamp or Parallels, but would like to use a downloaded Windows 7, is it possible to install without the Windows Disc?

Looking to run windows on my MBPro through Bootcamp or Parallels, but would like to use a downloaded Windows 7, is it possible to install without the Windows Disc?
Need to set up a workstation on my MBPro that will only run on Windows. Im willing to use Bootcamp or Parallels to see what works best. Need to get this set up this week to enable working from home on my MB - rural and hoping to buy Windows 7 online - am I able to get windows working through either bootcamp or Parallels without the actual Windows disc? Bootcamp set up guide calls for a disc.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, the answer to your question is yes, it IS possible to install Windows in Parallels without a disc, using an .iso image file.
Boot Camp since OS X 10.8 also installs Windows without a disc: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4889551?tstart=0
Parallels has complete documentation, series of forums, and a knowledgebase. You can also download the current release of Parallels 9 and try it for free for a few weeks before you decide to purchase it.
The Parallels Desktop for Mac product page: http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/
The Desktop for Mac forums: http://forum.parallels.com/forumdisplay.php?58-Parallels-Desktop-for-Mac
Documentation: http://www.parallels.com/support/desktop-virtualization/desktop/#c12970
The Knowledgebase for Desktop for Mac: http://kb.parallels.com
The primary difference between a Boot Camp installation and a Parallels installation is that in the Boot Camp installation, you're installing Windows into a separate partition on your internal mass storage device (hard drive or SSD) and then rebooting your Mac directly into Windows.
In Parallels, you're always running OS X on the Mac and Parallels is running a Windows virtual machine.
Not to get too technical here, but it is also possible for Parallels to run an installed Windows Boot Camp partition as a virtual machine. If you're evaluating system performance with a trial copy, that might be the way to go, because you only have to install Windows once on Boot Camp as a dual-boot system, then install Parallels Desktop and run the Boot Camp partition as the virtual machine.
There is a performance difference between the two, with the Boot Camp Windows installation being faster, but without the convenience of running both Mac and Windows applications simultaneously offered by Parallels. Sometimes that convenience outweighs a performance hit.
I can't give you more Mavericks and Parallels 9 specifics, because I'm currently running Windows 7 with Parallels 7 on OS X 10.8.5. Parallels 7 will not run on OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
I've been using Parallels (to run a few old rarely-used WIndows applications with features that would require a steep learning curve and major expense to purchase and learn a similar Mac app) occasionally since Parallels 3 and Windows XP. With each new release of OS X, each new release of Parallels, and each new Windows release, there are ALWAYS 'early adopter' bugs that get worked out over time.

How to install lexmark printer x1195 without disc

how to install lexmark printer x1195 without disc

I checked their site and it looks like Lexmark does not have Mac drivers for that printer for anything Mac OS newer than 10.3. However. if you Google Lexmark x1195 Mac driver, there are some third-party sites claiming to have solutions for Mac and Lion.
In my experience, Lexmark has been hit or miss with Mac support. Some models work with Macs--some don't. If you go shopping for another printer, you might wish to steer away from them.

Any way to install Leopard drivers without disc?

My MacBook Pro is currently running the Leopard OS, but I made the mistake of leaving the discs at home - nearly 3000 miles away, in a sealed storage box. Yes, I made a stupid mistake in packing it away. I'm trying to get Boot Camp set up, and to get the necessary drivers, I need the install disc.
My question is - is there any way I can get the drivers installed without using the Leopard install disc? Is there a download somewhere that can help me with that? Or am I totally out of luck?

Sadly, I've been through this too..although, my Mac OS X DVDs were a mere two miles from home. That being said...two miles feels like 3000 when it's -5 degrees fahrenheit outside.
The most recommended alternative I'm aware of is to grab them through the world of BitTorrent.
In my case, I ended up downloading individual drivers from the hardware vendors sites...the downside to this is that you'll be missing a lot of the valuable Apple software that's part of the Boot Camp software installer. That got the basics working (video, chipset & networking, etc.) until I remembered to bring the DVD home from work to install actual Boot Camp software.

Lion Clean Install - No Disc Required - Recovery Partition Solution

There is a way to run a Lion clean install without unpacking the installation onto a new disc or thumb drive. It can be accomplished via a slightly longer, two-step upgrade process, which requires wiping your hard drive after you've upgraded to Lion. You must be able to connect to the internet for this option to work, as it will require downloading the install package again.
As always, be sure to back up your data before performing any sort of wipe of your hard drive.
STEP 1 - Initial Upgrade
Perform a normal Lion upgrade through the App Store. This will install Lion on top of your current configuration. It will also create a Recovery Partition, which is a new feature of the Lion OS. It is this Recovery Partition that you will use to perform the clean install.
STEP 2 - Wipe and Clean Install
Restart your computer into Recovery mode. This can be done by either holding down CMD-r during boot up, or holding down the Option key during bootup and selecting to boot from the Recovery partition.
Select the Disk Utility option from the main menu. Here you can select the main partition, click on the Erase tab at the top, and completely erase the partition. Once you've done this, quit Disk Utility Option, and you will return to the main menu.
Select the Lion Installation option. It will ask you to connect to the internet if you have not done so already (if wireless, you can do this via the Wi-Fi icon in the top right corner). It will also ask you to input your Apple ID login and password in order to verify that you've already purchased the software. The installation will take as long as it requires to download the package again. Once downloaded and installed, Lion will walk you through initial set up.
This solution worked for me, but I make no guarantees that it will work for others.

I've created a boot disk (several actually) following the methods outlined in this guide.
http://www.eggfreckles.net/tech/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/
I've also saved the installer dmg in several backup locations so it can be burned again fresh or transfered to bootable USB thumb drives.
The Lion install disk boots up and operates just like the Recovery Partition (Disk Utiltiy and all) with one giant benefit, you don't have to log into the MacAppStore with all it's complications or require a lenghtly internet download to install Lion.
So you won't see this annoying screen and have to wait a few hours if the servers are overloaded.
The boot disk also installs considerably faster. Two giant benefits actually.
Also once Lion is installed, Bootcamp can be used to partition the drive, then the Recovery Partiton > Disk Utiltiy used to change the BOOTCAMP partition to HFS+ journaled and then 10.6 can be installed or cloned from a external drive onto the BOOTCAMP partition.
Dual boot Snow/Lion is possible with a large enough boot drive.

Reinstall iPhoto without discs?

How do I reinstall iPhoto without discs?

Was it installed on your Mac when you got it?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Anyone out there have a mac osx 10.3 install & restart discs?

Anyone out there have a mac osx 10.3 install & restart discs?

Some Powerbook G4s actually would only work with the Gray discs that came with them.
Without knowing the age of the Powerbook G4
http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6413
It is impossible to know if system specific 10.3 installer is needed, or if a retail 10.4 is needed.
Know these dates:
Macs that were released between 10/24/2003 and 12/17/2003 (xx343...xx350 serial numbers, where x can be any letter or number) could only install 10.3.2, or 10.3.5 retail as is labelled on the disc, and the prebundled installer disc that came with them. All retail discs for 10.3 looked like: and did not say upgrade, dropin, or OEM.
Macs that were released between 12/17/2003 and 8/12/2004 with serial numbers xx351...xx432 could only install 10.3.5 retail as is labelled on the disc and the prebundled 10.3 installer disc that came with them.
Macs released with serial numbers xx433 to xx516 could only use the 10.3 installer disc that shipped with them to install 10.3, and for retail release could use 10.4, or 10.5 depending on their configuration stated in this user tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2541
This is all covered in my tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2831
Please do NOT post your serial number on the forum, as it is public.

I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard. Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solveby myself? (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard. Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solve by myself- a person with limited problem solving abilities. (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the size and RAM installed.
"Yesterday I couldn't update the maps on my Garmin because it said the OS I had wouldn't work"
What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

The OSs will get more resource hungry the higher you go.

How to do a clean install without loosing anything

Hi all,
I (foolishly) installed Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard as an update to my existing 10.5.8 Leopard install last year. Ever since I've had a host of small but annoying problems, that no one else seems to be complaining about. (For example in the finder half the time when I right click on a file the pop-up menu disappears after half a second and I have to click and hold to keep it open so I can make a selection.)
I'm starting to wonder if some of the problems I'm having are caused by the upgrade install, instead of a fresh install.
So I'd like to do a clean install of the OS, but it's been so long since I've done that I've forgotten how that works. How can I do a clean install without loosing all my data? Do I have to pull all my data off the hard drive, wipe it clean and start from scratch like you do on a PC, or is there an easier way? (I hope there is an easier way.) If someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

I'm starting to wonder if some of the problems I'm having are caused by the upgrade install, instead of a fresh install.
I did an upgrade install on my old MacBook Pro, and it worked just fine. The key is that the system has to be in good working order when the update is applied... if there are minor problems, those problems can be magnified by an upgrade.
Of course, this may not be your problem... have you checked all your software and hardware for compatibility with Snow Leopard? One site that you can use, though it's by no means comprehensive, is:
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
So I'd like to do a clean install of the OS, but it's been so long since I've done that I've forgotten how that works. How can I do a clean install without loosing all my data?
Unfortunately, there's no easy way to do a true clean reinstall. In a nutshell, here's what you need to do:
1) Back up all your data. Make sure you've got application serial numbers stored somewhere!
2) Now back up all your data in another place. If you don't have two copies, you won't have any backups after the next step... the backup from step 1 becomes the original, and a poorly-timed drive failure would ruin you.
3) Reboot from the Mac OS X install disk (SL disk in this case)
4) Erase the hard drive with Disk Utility
5) Install the system
6) Update everything to the current version via Software Update
7) Install any apps you need
8) Update those apps if necessary
9) Reconfigure anything that needs it (network settings, appearance preferences, etc)
10) Copy +only documents+, no settings files, from your backup, preferably manually rather than with Migration Assistant (which can sometimes copy more than you might want it to).
That's about it! For assistance with any of those items, just say the word.
