Installing Ps CS 6 With No DVD Drive?

I'm hoping someone can help! I have Photoshop CS six on a CD that I purchased. I have it installed on my iMac. I just purchased a MacBook Pro and would like to install it on that the problem is there's not a CD DVD drive. So I figured I would go to Adobe and download the trial and then put in my product key. There is no trial for CS6 anymore. So how can I get this on my MacBook Pro? Thank you so much for anyone that can help!!!

Don't forget to Deactivate it on the iMac if your not going to be using it anymore

Install Windows on iMac with no DVD drive

I have a modified iMac. It has a solid state drive in leui of the superdrive. The SSD is a OWC drive.
How can I install Windows? I have tried modifying plist files, and kexts to allow me to use my MBA's USB superdrive, with no luck. I have also modified the bootcamp assistant to allow me to create a Windows 7 USB Installer from an ISO. However, when I initiate the installation, the computer restarts, and I get an error "No bootable device -- insert boot disc and press any key" I get this even though I created an installer with the BC assistant. I've tried doing this with thumb drives and external USB drives.
Can anybody help me out with a method of getting Windows installed? My computer is a 27" 2011 iMac. I cannot put the DVD drive back in because not only was it broken, but also because I then wouldn't be able to install Windows on the SSD.
Thanks.

You might have better li=uck of an answer if you post over in the Boot Camp forum where the Windows gurus hang out.

How to install leopard on G5 with Broken DVD drive?

The DVD drive on my Dual 2.7 GHz PowerPC G5 went bad. I have a MacBook Pro running Leopard with a good internal DVD drive. Can I put the leopard install disc in my MacBook Pro then put the Macbook Pro in Target Disc mode, connect it via firewire to my G5 and install Leopard on my G5 that way?

Most Macs equipped with Firewire 400 or 800 are capable of booting into Target Disk Mode (toggle under Sys Prefs-> Startup disk OR hold T when starting the computer).
When plugging a target disk mode running mac into another mac via firewire, the mac's drives (all hard drives and all optical drives - if media is inserted) will show up on the recipient mac. Therefore, use the good computer with good optical drive to put the disc media in, then start it in target disk mode. Finally plug it into the G5 with firewire cable (prefer 800 if your MBP has that). You will then see the drives and DVD, you can even restart the G5 holding down 'C' and it will boot from the CD drive of the other mac (it will try its own first - if available).

How to Install Leopard on G4 with no DVD Drive

I have a G4 Quicksilver Dual 1GHZ and the internal optical drive is dead and I need to install OSX Leopard on the Computer
I also have a MacPro early 2008 Dual 2.8Ghz.
for the life of me I can't figure out a way to install Leopard onto the old G4.
I have tried the following
- Connected the G4 to the MacPro in FW Target Mode and installed Leopard via the Mac Pro.. the G4 won't boot from it, I guess Leopard installs only the necessary files to boot the MacPro and not the G4?
- Tried using the Optical drive from the MacPro conected to the G4 in Target mode, but the G4 doesn't see the install DVD in the MacPRo drive.
- Tried partitioning the G4 connected to the Mac Pro in Target mode, and did a "restore" of the Leopard DVD to the G4 hard drive. For some reason, the G4 still won't boot from it!
I'm now at a complete loss of what to do.

Well, some hardware problems won't show up until it heats up enough, or until a certain spot in RAM is needed, or certain multitaskung things are taking place.
One way we used to test CPUs & RAM on macs was to create a huge DMG while pplaying iTunes & running Power Fractal.
Do you have AHT for that G4?
Boot off your Apple Hardware Test Disc , then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Your model would have a separate AHT CD.
Here's the list and downloads for AHT for some G4 models if you don't find yours, some G4s only have it on the Original Install Disc...

Install Windows 8 on macbook pro with external dvd drive

Purchase new superdrive, takes 2-3 weeks for shipping at my city.
It can't be done. If your computer has an internal optical drive, working or not, that is the drive you must use. Only computers such as the Macbook Pro Retina/Macbook Air that have no internal optical drive can install Windows from an external drive.

Install DVD onto MacBook Pro 13" with NO DVD Drive

My son has a MacBook Pro 13" with no DVD drive.. He received iLife ON DVD.. What is the simplest way to get the contents of that dvd installed onto his macbook?
Is there a way to download the ilife and just type in a serial # etc. from the DVD?

You cannot download iLife from the Internet for free.
Instead, you have two options to install iLife:
1. Get an external DVD drive and use it to install iLife, or;
2. If you have got another PC or Mac, use Remote Disc > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Note that your son's MacBook Pro already comes with iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand, which are iLife apps. However, he needs the DVD to install iDVD and iWeb, in case he needs them

How to buy and install mac os x 10.6 in a late 2007 mac book with no dvd drive?

i want to buy snow leopard for mac book with no dvd drive, but the only choice in app store is dvd copy, no digital copy!

You'd have to have someone with a DVD drive make a Disk Image of the DVD, have them Restore that .dmg to a Flash drive that's big enough, the boot the MB using alt key to choose to boot from the USB Flash drive.

To install Tiger, some Macs need internal DVD drive, or CD version of Tiger

Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
Some Macs while they have Firewire, don't support Target Disk Mode, nor Firewire booting. These Macs if they came with no DVD drive, and only a CD drive or CD-RW drive (as opposed to combo or superdrive), can only install Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4) if you:
1. Install a compatible internal DVD drive from which supports http://www.patchburn.de/ or other firmware that supports Mac OS X booting.
2. Find the original retail CD version of Mac OS X 10.4 that was available for a limited time called the Media Exchange Program CD.
These Macs include the Blue and White G3 desktop (non-iMac), and the PCI PowerMac G4 described below:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58418
The iMac G3 with built-in Firewire, iBook G3 with built-in Firewire, and AGP PowerMac G4 with built-in Firewire at least support Firewire booting and Target Disk Mode which would allow them to use an external optical DVD drive that supports Mac OS X booting.
If they didn't have an internal DVD drive.
Port #4 in this image below is a Firewire port:
Notes: Macs released on or after April 26, 2005 need to install Tiger from the discs that came with them, or a newer retail release except Intel Macs. Retail release of Tiger is a black disc with a white X logo and does not say Upgrade or Update.
Intel Macs could only install Tiger from the discs that came with them.
Macs released on or after October 26, 2007 can't install Tiger.

What happens if the firmware isn't updated?
The display may stop working, even for OS 9. It is not easy to fix.
I just installed 10.2 on one of them and it seems to be working. Should I uninstall it and upgrade the firmware and start over?
Check the "Boot ROM version" with System profiler. If the firmware is updated it will be 4.1.9
It is not necessary to remove OSX to install the updates if OS 9 is still on the hard drive. If not, and the OS 9 drivers are there, OS 9 can be installed without affecting OSX.
The update won't install if it is not needed.

How to install iLife on an iBook without DVD drive

Some time ago I bought iLife 8 only to find it was on a single DVD which I could not use on my twin-USB iBook with only a CD drive. Now a friend has suggested that the DVD could perhaps be copied to 6 Cds and loaded that way. Toast has a spanning facility to spread a big file over multiple disks. Or could my iBook be hooked to a big Mac with a DVD drive, and the program transferred by Target Disk Mode. Does anyone know if either of these techniques would work?

Of the two, target mode would be far more efficient (and less risky -- in terms of software data corruption). I have in the past installed OS X on a machine with a poor DVD drive, so iLife should be no problem.

Problem installing OSX 10.4 from Firewire DVD drive

Hi, I'd be very grateful if anyone can help... I've been trying to install OSX 10.4 from DVD loaded in an external Firewire Lacie DVD drive and haven't been successful yet. I have tried instructing startup from the DVD in System Preferences, holding Option on startup and selecting the DVD and also holding 't' on startup, which I was informed forced startup from an external Firewire device (this resulted in a large Firewire logo floating round the screen but after 10 minutes or so hadn't progressed into full startup). Having read some bits of info found on Apple support I can see there is some issue about installing OSX 10.4 from a DVD drive other than an internal Apple drive (although I can't see any explanation why). Could someone please let me know if there is another way of doing this? – I mainly want to get 10.4 installed because I want to get a new ipod which requires 10.4 rather than 10.3. Thanks very much, Sam

Some external DVD drives support startup. Some do not.
Holding down the T key at startup makes the Mac go into FireWire Target Disk Mode. It will not help you start up from the DVD drive.
If you have another Mac with FireWire and a DVD drive, you can use FireWire Target Disk Mode to mount your Mac's hard drive on the other Mac's desktop. Then, you can use that other Mac to startup from the DVD and run the installer, pointing to your Mac's hard drive for the installation.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
I don't know of any other way, if the external DVD drive does not support start up.

Help with my DVD drive?

hp pavilion dv9650us dvd player will read regular dvd's but won't read regular home made dvd windows vista is my OSH
Hi my Dvd player was working fine until I did some driver updates, then I noticed my DVD and audio wasn't working. I went back and reinstalled the old drivers for my audio and now it works and my DVD player will read and play regular DVD's you purchase but won't read my DVD's I make at home when I do my video progjects.   Is there a problem with my DVD driver reading the disc and is it something that can be fixed with a software update?

Most likely it is the driver since it was working.  Was the reinstall of the old drivers an install, or a Restore back to an earlier date? I would have done the Restore thereby getting the actual drivers and settings I had before the update. You can still try this if it hasn't be too long ago.
If I have been helpful, a Kudo is always appreciated.

Scary "rattling / vibrating" noise with iMac DVD drive

I have an iMac for 2 months now and experience problems with the DVD drive. With some DVDs (not all, but still too many for my taste) it spins around quite fast and makes a scary sound as if the DVD is vibrating (rrrrrrr) inside the iMac's superdrive. I am a bit affraid it will damage my DVDs. When I try to burn a DVD with iDVD or Toast the DVD is ejected by the system with a HW error.
I called the Apple help desk and was asked to burn a DVD with finder. That went ok. Next DVD with iDVD failed. I was asked to install iDVD again, because they thought it could be a software issue. The next DVD I could burn without problems, so the case was closed. Later burning some DVDs failed again, but at the moment the majority succeeds. And reading some already written discs makes sometimes a scary noise, but I can still read them.
I am not sure if I should call apple again, because it not always fails. It is very disappointing to be having these problems with my first Apple. Didn't expect that at all. Every time I insert a DVD now, I wonder what will happen. But it would be a pity to have to add an external dvd reader/writer to the beautiful integrated iMac.
Anybody a suggestion, or is it better to call Apple again?

I also have this problem with my 2.4ghz, 24" iMac. It started a few months back and it didn't seem to affect the media I stuck into it and for about 75% of the time the vibration was minimal. Now some DVD media are getting stuck in the drive and it takes a lot of tries with the eject button before enough of the DVD or CD shows itself to pull it out ... otherwise it gets sucked back in and I am back trying again.
What has just freaked me out is that some of the discs I have just burnt, when inserted, ask whether I want to write them i.e thinks they are blank ... when they go perfectly on my powerbook or my wife's G5 iMac. I just thought I would check out the support forums for a lead, but doesn't seem like a regular fault so its off to the repair shop under warranty (up to a week wait around here).
So can't help that much iDijkman ... I suppose get it fixed while you still have some warranty.

How do i install a new printer with no dvd?

how do i install a new printer with no dvd?

Hook it up and see if it works. If it is one of the more common printer brands/models, it could very well have it's drivers installed, depending on how your OS was installed. If not, you can always go to the support site for your printer and download the drivers, if necessary.
What kind of printer do you have? What OS and how was it installed?

Need advice with internal DVD Drive

Hello, my dvd drive reads CD's but not DVD's (Movie or Data). It makes a clicking sound then ejects the DVD which made me think it was a hardware failure, but when I put in a CD,it is fine. I've deleted the dvd.plist and ran permmission fixer. Any ideas, or should I just get a new drive.

Go here and scream at Apple for refusing to address this ongoing issue. Explain the issue(s) you are having. -
http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
People keep starting new discussion threads on this same old problem. If you have the money to go out and spend around $20 (US) on a DVD lens cleaner, please post your result here.
I posted the following response yesterday in a similar thread:
I realize this isn't a forum for venting, but I'm really getting sick of this ongoing issue. Where is Apple in all of this? Read on, if you want to see how far back this goes.
I have an older G5, purchased in November 2003, with a Pioneer Stupordrive which exhibits the same awful behavior. I've been following these G5 Superdrive discussion threads for nearly a year, and I've tried most of the suggestions offered. None have worked for me, and it appears that there are a large number of Mac owners with similar DVD drive problems.
My Stupordrive used to mount and play ALL DVDs. That lasted for about 1-1/2 years from purchase. Now it plays some retail DVD movies, but not others. It burns DVDs just fine, but won't read them (see below). Sometimes it ejects them, other times it just sits there trying to mount with the "unfomatted floppy" sound until I manually eject via the eject key (takes two tries). I have used various brands for burning, including the over-priced DVD-R's (4x) from the Apple store. No problems with burning or reading CDs. I will try Verbatim, but seriously doubt it will make any difference. The worst part of this is that I have about 25Gb of unreachable DATA on DVDs.
This problem seems to be prevalent, and is independent of OS version, purchase date, or configuration. Before I go out and spend money (even $40) on a new drive, I want to be sure it will not behave the same way because of some fundamental flaw in the G5 architecture or the OS.
I have an ancient Micron PC that's six years old with its original DVD player. Guess what; it mounts and plays/reads every DVD I put in it, including those I burned on the Mac.
Can anyone suggest a drive that will work on the G5 and last for more than a year or so?
