Installing LR5 on second computer that is a Macbook Pro; 1st computer is desktop PC

I recently purchased a Macbook Pro to use for my photography work because of its exceptional display. The Macbook Pro will be my second computer for working with Lightroom 5.6 and Photoshop CS5. My first computer is a desktop PC operating Windows 7. Is it possible to extend my license to two computers with different operating systems?
Many thanks,
John

Dave thanks for the response and info to my question concerning Lightroom
and two different operating systems. I was almost sure that there would be
complicating issues concerning a multiple operating system installation.
Doesn't sound to complicated though. I'll give it a try as soon as I
purchase an external DVD drive for the Macbook. I tried to contact Adobe
concerning this question, but their response system is so convoluted that
it would probably be easier to mount an expedition to Mars than have
someone from that company respond to a simple question.
Thanks again,
John

Install Snow Leopard from CD that came with MacBook Pro to different Mac

I need to re-install Snow Leopard on an older MacBook of mine I want to clean out for my wife.
The problem is the Snow Leopard CD (family pack) I purchased months ago is scratched, damaged I believe by an iMac at my business. I want to see if it is possible to install 10.6 from the CD's I recently got with my new MacBook pro. I tried to use them in the MacBook (Intel) I'm trying to hand off to my wife but after I selected the language option I got an error message stating I couldn't install that disc on the computer. It already runs 10.6 so I know it's not an OS issue. Is my MacBook detecting that the installation CD is not the same one that came with it?
Sorry for the wordy post and thanks in advance for any help.

From what i can tell, the media contains only the necessary files to install to that model-specific hardware.
This is both for licensing & technical reasons. Licensing because that disc is licensed for use only with that specific Mac (not model, literally just that Mac) & technical because pre- & post-install scripts & other installer features on grey system discs are designed just for that model.
Curious. I know i've used system restore discs from one machine on another due to the fact that we used to - for reasons unknown to me - allow users to keep their restore discs, at which point they subsequently lost them.
Perhaps it's just older models that allowed it?
No matter. Thanks for the clarification.

Question: How do you install CC on second computer?

Question: Bought CC. Installed it on my computer at work. It works nicely. I was promised when I signed up that each license could be installed on a second computer. When I log in on my home office computer, all I can see is trial versions of individual programs — not CC (as promised). How should I proceed? Retro-compatibility with CS6 is *challenging*.

Install Lightroom on second computer?

How do I contact Adobe to get a second copy of Lightroom to install on a second computer? It says you can do this with one license, but they don't say how to contact Adobe to get the second copy. I tried using my serial number when the trial was over and it does not work.
thanks

Hi,
I just bought LR2 through the online store. I have installed it on my desk top and my lap top. I used the same ser. # for both installs and had no problem at all. I also installed pse7 from disc on both machines with no problem. I dont have the reason why it is not working for you. you should be able to do what you want. The only thing I can think of is if you had one machine running the program while you were trying to install the other one the install may have been stopped because you can only use one machine at a time.
Good luck
Randy

Trouble installing Captivate on second computer

Captivate was installed on my second computer (have a work computer at office and second at telework site)
When I launch Captivate it pops upt box "sign in required", but it asks for a certificate.
If I hit 'yes' or 'view certificate' it goes in long wait mode, then tells me I'm not connected to internet.
So I never get opportunity to put in my username/password/license code

Screen shots
If I select Yes
Timer wheel spins for about a minute then
If I select View Certificate I get
My telework computer is a virtual clone of my office desktop.
I'm not an administrator for the machine. But the admin who installed it was also unable to put in the license info.
It's been several months since it was purchased and installed on my telework computer.
Hope this helps.

This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.
The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr SiRem GEARAspiWDN.

Can I install windows 7 on a second internal drive on a macbook pro 2011?

Can I install windows 7 on a second internal drive on a macbook pro 2011? I have 2 500 gb. SSD drives in my 2011 MacBook Pro. My plan was to install windows 7 on the 2nd drive. I'm new at owning Macs so I have had Windows on main drive using bootcamp but I wanted to speed up my 17" Mac so I maxed out the memory and added the SSD drives. Thinking I could put the 2 operating systems on seperate drives I bought to 2 SSD's. Is there any way to do this. So far I have drawn a blank. Any ideas?

Yes. Just install Windows onto it without using the Boot Camp Assistant to partition it.

Can I install both mac os and Windows 7 on MacBook Pro?

Can I install both mac os and Windows 7 on MacBook Pro?
I saw Windows XP picture on this website. And I would like to try mac os while using Windows 7.
And does Windows 7 on MacBook Pro support high quality game experience? Im sick and tired of reducing to low quality graphics to play some nice games such as GTA 4 and new released games. Hope I can play games with high quality.

If you have a brand new MacBook Pro or have installed Lion on an older one, you can only instal Windows 7 on Boot Camp (for some reason you can't use Vista or earlier). If you have a Windows 7 CD and a license, it's pretty easy to do via Boot Camp. See here for instructions: http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macos
If you install via Boot Camp, Windows 7 will run as fast as your computer is. Generally, MacBook Pros are very fast laptops, so you should be pretty good. That being said, just like any laptop, if it's a cheaper MacBook Pro, you won't have access to as capable graphics processing as more high-end machines. So if it's a newer game with crazy impressive graphics, you will likely not be able to tap into the highest settings on the game on any laptop.

Within the last hour, I noticed that my older MacBook Pro, while I was playing it in iTunes, lost contrast on the screen. I am sorry, but I did not take exact notes on this event. Around the same time, I did do a back up, uploaded software, etc.

I'm using two MacPros simultaniously, the old one for iTunes, and the new one for the other things. My new one has no problems, so am wondering if there is an easy way to correct the older MacPro's contrast problems. The computer is over three years old, and I'm wondering also if this failure is an aging sign. (I also have other problems, such as a noisy DVD drive, which is part of the reason I bought a new MacBook Pro.)

Is the older MBP a pre-Unibody model from early 2008? If so, it could be having this problem:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2377
If so, you would be entitled to a free repair.
The lost contrast could be considered distorted video.
Do you have an external monitor? If the external shows the same lost contrast, the graphics chip is likely the culprit. If the external is OK, then you probably have an issue with the built in display or possibly with its connections.
You may also want to check in Universal Access to see if the contrast bar is set in its normal position (all the way to the left).
Apple has a special test they can run to diagnose the NVIDIA issue, so if you have access to an Apple Store, make an appointment at the genius bar to have it run.
Good luck!

I can't install my old logic 8 on my new macbook pro. It says it does not support powerpc applications anymore. what do i need to do?? this is ridiculous!!!

I can't install my old logic 8 on my new macbook pro. It says it does not support powerpc applications anymore. what do i need to do?? this is ridiculous!!!

Logic 8 will probably run on your new machine but the installation program contains some older PPC code for pre Intel Macs. This was not a problem as all OSX versions contained the "Rosetta" PPC emulation, that is, up until Lion when all PPC emulation was dropped.
There are ways to do this however, try searching Google for: Installing Logic 8 under Lion or Mountain Lion.

How to know Apple Id associated with that perticular device (Macbook Pro)?

Hi experts there...!
How to know Apple Id associated with that perticular device (Macbook Pro)?
How to change the Apple Id associated with the particular device?
Okay now the scene is that one of my friend gave me macbook pro as a gift, now we both dont know how to change the associated Apple Id with this Macbook pro. He has his apple id and password which works perfectly with this macbook. But we want to change associated apple id with this macbook. After changing the apple id will it be possible to update mountain lion or to reinstall online completly? Does this process completely disconect from previous apple id and connect with new apple id?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your friend's Mac didn't come with DVDs, he has to call Apple in order to deauthorize his Apple ID from the Mac > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After that, you will be able to register the MacBook Pro with your Apple ID, and you will be able to install OS X, iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand for free. After doing that, you can erase the hard drive and reinstall OS X, so everything from his Apple ID will be removed

How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro/?

How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro?

You have several options.
1, Use a Virtual Machine like Vmware, Parallels etc... to Create a Virtual Windows Installation and Run your program in there. A Virtual MAchine will runn in a Window on your Desktop and share your Mac's resources RAM HD space processor. Your MAc desktop will still be available while you run Windows install.

2. Install Windows on a partition using Bootcamp. It will run a full installation of Windows you can boot into, and run your programs. The Mac desktop will not available until your reboot the computer and start in OSx instead of Windows.

3. Use Wine / Winebottler to run the Application without the need for a complete Windows installation.

Help! Installing 10.6 on my 10.5.8 Macbook Pro Grey Screen

I tried to install 10.6 on my 10.5.8 Macbook Pro. It installed just fine, I restarted, it goes through the apple logo and asks me to pick a language. I pick english, it goes to the grey screen and stops there forever. I'd be happy just to go back to 10.5.8, I just don't want to lose all my stuff. Please help!
Also, all the function buttons work (volume, adjust screen brightness, etc). Just nothing else will.

To the best of my knowledge the only legal way to get 10.6 is on a DVD.
Most of the downloads, in addition to being illegal, are usually pack with malware.
My suggestion would be to use your 10.5 disk to erase the disk and that get a generic copy of the 10.6 DVD and install from there.
