Installing elements 4.0 on my (disc drive-less) new mac??

I recently treated myself to a new macbook air, which doesn't have a disc drive, and want to install a photoshop elements 5.0/4.0 macintosh disc.  I'm hoping that I will be able to download directly from adobe (although I realise it's an ancient program) and just use my product key....  alternatively could I use my pc to save the disc to a flash drive and install it that way?
Any help/suggestions appreciated!

that's not available on adobe.com or its affiliate prodesigntools.com.  and, even if it were available via download, i don't think your serial number for a boxed version would work with a downloaded version.
your options are to upgrade to pse 11 or purchase from some third party.

  • TS2565 I have just installed logic pro  Version 9.1.1 to my new mac book , purchased in 2012 December. I am now being told my version of logic is not compatible with my version of OS X. Help!!!

    I have just installed logic pro  Version 9.1.1 to my new mac book , purchased in 2012 December. I am now being told my version of logic is not compatible with my version of OS X. Help!!! What can I do. I tried upgrding the logic pro software but this didn't help. It still won't open.
    Many thanks

    How did you install Logic onto your new Mac Book?
    From the App store or from the DVD boxed set?
    If it was downloaded from the App store then it should already be v9.1.8... and if it isn't you need to call Apple to help you sort this out.
    If it was originally from the DVD boxed set then you must update using software updates....
    If software updates cannot find Logic to update it then you either have...
    Renamed the Logic Pro app in which case rename it back to Logic Pro
    or
    The Logic Pro App is not in the applications folder which is where it needs to be to be updated... so move it back there.

  • Installing photoshop elements on imac with no disc drive

    I purchased Adobe Photoshop elements 9 a year or so ago.  I still have the installation disc and all the packaging that came with it.  Unfortunately my imac crashed and I had to purchase a new imac.  I would like to install this program on my new computer but there is no disc drive on it.  Also there are no instructions included that direct installation without using the disc.  How can I get this installed on my imac so that I can use it again?

    You can download the trial version of the software from the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

  • I want to install a second disc drive in my mac pro - which ones?

    I have always had all-in-ones. I now have a mac pro, and I love it. I have many disc drives of varying sorts lying around my place, most from older windows towers, but one cd-rw drive from a round base imac. Since I could never do these types of expansion on my old macs, I have no clue what will hook up in my empty drive bay.
    This drive from the apple is a... sony cd-r/rw drive unit crx170E/. can I put it in my mac pro's second slot?
    If so or if not, can someone briefly explain the types of cd-r connections that would/would not work so i understand the concepts?

    Oh alright. Here is the same drive someone put up for sale, just in case I was speaking wrong.

    Do I need to do anything special? or will in function right as soon as I get it installed?

  • How to re-install Elements 10 onto iMac without hard drive?

    I originally bought Elements 10 on a disk, which I loaded onto my macbook. I have now bought an iMac, and the file transfer of the elements 10 from the MAcbook to the iMac didn't work. Adobe support tell me to re-install Elements 10 into the iMac. But the iMac doesn't have a hard drive and the adobe products page has my serial number of Elements 10, but it doesn't give me a download option because it was originally bought as a disk, not as software - so how do I reinsall elements 10 into my iMac?

  • Installing final cut express with  a disc drive

    I have 2 copies of final cut express 4, however my laptop was stolen. I know have a new laptop but it is a mac book pro without a disc drive. How do install my copy of final cut express? I don't want to (and can't afford) to buy it again when I already own 2 copies and all the used software coupons.
    Can I download it? where and how?

    Get an external DVD drive. Apple sells one:

    You can probably find something cheaper, if you look around.

  • Can you install leopard from an external usb disc drive?

    I don't know if the disc drive is fast enough for leopard or something. It's taking forever to open the installer, and when I restarted into the installer it just booted back to my desktop. I have an external disc drive I want to try. Can you install leopard from and external disc drive?

    ****, I just tried it and when I restarted it didn't go into the installer. I think my disc drive in my old mac mini might be too slow. It takes forever to recognize the disc and just to double click on it and it up. And when I tried to install it the first time from the internal drive it just booted right into my desktop again.

  • HT3986 How would I go about installing Windows 7/8 without a disk drive on my Mac Book Pro?

    My Mac Book Pro doesn't have a disk drive. Is it still possible to install windows via bootcamp?

    Hi sth30,
    If you are trying to install Windows under Boot Camp on a Mac without an internal optical drive, you may be able to use a compatible external disk drive, or create an ISO on a USB drive using either that external drive or another Mac. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • External Disc Drive disappeared from Mac Mini Devices

    Hi Forum,
    my External USB2 Drive has disappeared from the devices list on my Mac Mini. When i was with the Mini i turned it off and on, Mini and CD Drive, unplugged and replugged the Drive, but i didnt appear. Ive had to come away for a few days and access the Mini remotely. It still doesnt show.
    Is there anyway to make it find it? scan USB ports? look at what is connected? Remotely or when home?
    Odd as its not done this before. And im still on OSX 10.8...

    From your description I am assuming you have not instgalled any new USB, Bluetooth, Firewire, devices, drivers, hubs, etc.? If my assumption is correct then the logical place to start is with the drive and its connections...
    Unplug and replug all USB connections. Surprisingly this may cure a number of different problems.
    Try another USB cable.
    Boot into Safe mode by holding down the Shift key after a cold boot. If the drive mounts normally then it is likley another USB device drive or device that is the problem.
    If you are connecting through a hub, connect directly to the computer. If the drive mounts normally then your hub has probably gone bad.
    If possible connect the drive to another Mac. Does it mount normally? If so then the USB port in your Mac may have gone bad. That requires a new logic board to fix.
    Reset the SMC.
