Installing on macbook pro.

hi, im a student who is trying to install photoshop cs5 extended onto my macbook pro. i have completed an online form and attached a scanned student id card with it, but i am not sure what to do now. i have not put the disk in as the instructions say not to until i obtain a serial number. i have not got one yet, and not sure when i will get one. i filled the form out at least 3 days ago and i am now wondering if i have done the correct thing or is there something else i will have to do to get the serial number. do i put the disk in? what do i do now? thankyou, bec.

Bec jauhianen in regards to how long it will take to receive your serial number I would recommend reviewing the Education FAQ.  It depends on where you purchased the education version for how long it will take.
We did see quite a bit of traffic for students submitting eligibility after the recent holiday so I would be prepared for it talking a bit longer than usual.  As John mentioned you can install the trial while waiting for your serial number.

  • I want to re-install my Pre-Installed Lion Macbook Pro, but I can't get the Lion OS from App Store with my Apple ID. Please help, thanks!

    Hi, I want to do a clean re-installation of my end 2011 Macbook Pro which comes with pre-installed Lion OS. I go through the installation steps and after App Store verified my Apple ID, it prompted me that I did not purchase the Lion OS. I am very surprise to see this message which my pre-installed Lion Macbook Pro should have it. Please help and advise how can I get the OS? All other bundle softwares were in the purchase record except the Lion OS.

    That was my mistake - sorry - it IS Command-R to boot to the Recovery disk, not Command-D: I either just hit the wrong key or am just now coming awake from my nap.
    Let me see if I can just explain it in a few steps - I don't know of any link (but it would make a good User Tip):
    Create an up-to-the minute back-up of your internal hard drive using an external hard drive and Time Machine.
    Boot to your recovery partion - holding down Command-R on boot.
    Use Disk Utility to erase Macintosh HD - use one GUID partition and format as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Unless you're selling the machine, there's no need to do a secure erase (which can take hours).
    After you erase the disk, re-install Lion from the same Recovery partition.
    After installation is complete, reboot, again holding down the Command-R keys to boot into the Recovery Partition.
    Restore your Time Machine back-up. This could take several hours.
    Reboot after restore and you're back in business.
    That should take care of everything - all you need is an Internet connection.
    Call back if I didn't explain things too well - at least I got the Command-R right this time!

  • What is largest solid state drive I can install in MacBook Pro 8,2?  I want to perform a clean install of Mavricks and dump my old hard drive.

    What is largest solid state drive I can install in MacBook Pro 8,2?  I want to perform a clean install of Mavricks and dump my old hard drive.

    If the bank account permits, I suggest getting a 1 TB SSD anyway.  One cannot have too much storage. 
    Unless you are having issues with your current installation, a 'clean' install is not necessary.  It would be more efficient to clone your current drive to the new SSD, test it, and then do the swap.  The installation of Mavericks over Snow Leopard can be done either before or after the cloning process.
    Ciao.

  • OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 can't be installed on MacBook Pro retina late 2013

    OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 can't be installed on MacBook Pro retina late 2013
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 installer is available in the App Store but it can't be downloaded because "OS X Mavericks can't be installed on this computer".
    If the installer of version 10.9 is already in the application folder it can't be updated for the same reason.
    I've seen that they are two versions of the updater that are downloadable from apple's website and one is specific for the MacBook Pro retina late 2013.
    I suspect that the installer in the App Store is not an universal installer. It is stupid because you can't reinstall that Mac is needed.
    I phoned to Apple (AppleCare) and they don't know why this happens.

    Hello,
    Try to boot the 15" MBPr as target when connected to your MBA (if you have the right cables and adapters).
    From the MBA, install on the 15" MBPr's disk, in that order :
    The 10.9.1 update for Mavericks except MBPr
    Download
    and then the 10.9.1 update for Mavericks specific for MBPr
    Download
    The MBPr should be bootable again. I did it for an external HD.
    Hope this helps.
    Best,
    ÉrIC Miclo

  • Will icloud install on macbook pro with os 10.6.8

    Will icloud install on macbook pro with OS 10.6.8?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iCloud is not an application you can download and install independently. It is part of the OS X 10.7.2 operating system. So in essence no you cannot use iCloud with OS X 10.6.8 on your Mac.

  • How download and install on Macbook Pro.  Purchased software and installed on my desktop computer.

    How do I download and install on MacBook Pro.  Installed once on my PC desktop but now have new Macbook Pro with no disc drives.

    What version are you talking about and have you got the serial number?
    If you want to install version 11 then you can download from Adobe website and use your serial number to activate it.  The only problem I can see is that your serial number might be for a windows system and I don't know if it would work on a Mac.  However, it is worth a try.
    You are allowed 2 installations simultaneously so you should be OK in this respect.
    The download link is here:

    Make sure you use the MAC to download it so that you get the correct version for it.

  • HT2470 Can Internet explorer be installed in Macbook pro

    1.Can Internet explorer be installed in Macbook pro?
    2.Can I have dual boot in my Macbook pro - with Mac and Windows ??

    No, unless you install Windows, which you can certainly do. Boot Camp allows you to install any number of different operating systems.
    If you're trying to use a website that refuses to load because it demands Internet Exploder, I suggest enabling the Develop menu in Safari's Preferences, and selecting a User Agent that placates the website.

  • SSD Install Experiences MacBook Pro 2011 i7

    This is a report on the beastie that I installed in my MacBook Pro 2011:
    http://thranblog.info/post/8615912997/ssd-install-experiences-macbook-pro-2011-i 7

    The fan normally runs at about 2000rpms - if they're loud enough to actually hear, you might have a problem. Mine can rev up to about 4000rpms sometimes and I'll hear them then, but it's nothing consistent.
    To see how fast your fans are running, download the free iStat Pro widget. If they're running abnormally fast, you could try a SMC reset to see if that will help.
    I would also uninstall VirusBarrier - your really don't need av software on a Mac but if you feel as if you must have something, try the free ClamXav and/or Sophos for Mac (both recommended by our resident malware/virus guru, Thomas Reed).
    Good luck,

  • Wi-Fi: No Hardware Installed on MacBook Pro 8,2 (15 inch, Late 2011)

    Hi Everyone,
    For the second time now, I have to bring my Macbook Pro 8,2 (macbookpro8,2, 15 inch, late 2011) running Mountain Lion back to the Genius Bar due to a unrecognized Wi-Fi Airport adapter. The computer was purchased in March of 2012.
    The problem started as I was watching 'The Daily Show" online, when suddenly, I lost connection. I clicked on the wi-fi adapter icon on the top menu bar, and saw that no access points were available when there normally were over 20, including mine in the house. I went into the network settings under system preferences and saw that the wi-fi card was off (although it was just on and still showed the full-signal indicator in the menu bar), and attempted to click the button to turn it back on with no response. All other options were either greyed-out or displayed no information. The Hardware tab didn't even display and the mac address suddenly became all zeros.
    I rebooted the computer, only to discover the wi-fi indicator on the menu bar displaying no signal. Upon clicking on the icon, the dreaded "Wi-Fi: No Hardware Installed" was displayed. I tried resetting the SMC and PRAM/NVRAM with no success. I also rand the Hardware Troubleshooter ( Option - D upon bootup ) which neither saw the communications device nor reported finding any problem.
    I brought it to the Genius Bar, and they ended up replacing BOTH the Logic Board, Wi-Fi adapter, and connection cable between the wi-fi adapter and logic board on July 23, 2012.
    Now, it's October 10, 2012, and last night, as I was working through a VPN tunnel on the terminal on one of our remote servers, the SAME THING happened AGAIN! The connection was dropped, same scenario as above, and upon bootup I was greeted with the  "Wi-Fi: No Hardware Installed" message again.
    The hardware magically disappeard with no mention of this in the Console, as far as I can tell. The Console mentions the loss of connection and inability to contact DNS, but nothing relating to hardware.
    For the record, the bluetooth continued to function both times I've had this issue. The first time this happened, I was running Lion and now I'm running Mountain Lion.
    So apparently there is something really wrong with either the physical enclosure causing a short somehow, the quality of the Broadcom chip on this wi-fi device, or there's some type of software/power causing the chip to short out.
    My compouter is as protected as can be - it's in a Speck plastic housing with a keyboard cover, which was purchased after the first incident, I use it on a hard flat plastic laptop tablet at home, and carry it around in a Timbuk2 Laptop bag. It also has never been dropped.
    What's the problem here? Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks and all the best of luck and success solving your own computer problems

    Sorry for the late reply. I had a bad experience with the Apple Store and the 'Genius' Bar where I live. However, in the end, I received my MacBook Pro back from repair and everything is working.
    Like I said in my previous post, the first time the Wi-Fi broke, I was using Lion. The mother (Logic) board was replaced as well as the Wi-Fi card.
    The second time it broke, I was using Mountain Lion. Booting up the Recovery partition and Snow Leopard (new install) did not solve the issue. The Apple Store confirmed that the Wi-Fi card was broken through various testing, which I observed.
    Since the attenna wires for the Wi-Fi run through the display, we decided the next logical step was to replace the Wi-Fi card and the display. The reasoning is that there could have been a short or cross connection in the attenna wiring that was causing the Wi-Fi cards to short-out/burn-out. The Bluetooth continued to work in both cases the Wi-Fi failed, meaning that it was unlikely a cable problem.
    Since the display and wi-fi have been replaced (20121025), I've had no problems. The wi-fi card is working.
    I'm glad the kext file solution has worked for you. I've seen posts on this solution; however, after determining that this was indeed a hardware failure (by using Recovery console, booting from Snow Leopard, and using Hardware Troubleshooter (it didn't even see the Wi-Fi) ), I didn't bother with fiddling with the kext (driver) files. Besides, this hardware is supposed to be designed to work with the OS without any problems whatsoever. Shame on Apple if they don't ship proper drivers for their hardware!

  • Unresponsive keyboard and trackpad on pre-installed yosemite macbook pro mid-2014

    Hi,
    I have a brand new MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014). Shipped with Yosemite pre-installed, the version I have is 10.10.1 . I don't have any software installed except Google Chrome, so it is clean/new OS.
    I noticed sometimes the keyboard and trackpad become completely unresponsive after waking up the laptop from sleep. Happened several times, the last time it happened I could not reset PRAM or SMC as keyboard was unresponsive even after restarting or shutting down so I had to Re-Install OS.
    Right now I have the laptop next to me, again the keyboard and trackpad are unresponsive after wakeup from sleep, and I did SMC reset but did not work. Trying to reset PRAM or go into Recovery mode .. etc, it is not responding to the keyboard, as it is unresponsive at that point as well.
    What should I do ? How can I tell if it is Hardware or Software problem ? I ran the apple test diagnostics test and there was no problem reported. And I am not able to install Mavericks because it is shipped with Yosemite pre-installed so it is not allowing me to downgrade.
    thoughts ?

    I just noticed that I have the following in the system log, both keyboard and trackpad are completely unresponsive even when shutting down/restart/sleep. I cannot even reset PRAM.
    This keeps showing up in the log, not sure what it means.

  • No wi if hardware is installed on MacBook Pro?

    I see wifi logo that has an X on it by saying "no wi-fi hardware is installed after Genius Bar took tests on my MacBook Pro and it said passed. So, again I have the same problem. Does that mean it has to replace new airport card?

    1. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
