Is it possible to backup (ie clone) Adobe installer DVDs?

Being from the old school (got my first Mac in 1986) I like to have copies of everything whenever possible. However, I've heard that lately the Adobe installers cannot be duplicated. Is this correct? If not, how is the duplication (ie backup due to paranoia) accomplished. Can Toast be used or would it be better to use Carbon Copy Cloner? I ask because I've been having issues lately with the odd DVD and since I'm going to put out the $$$ for a brand new CS Suite (I'm using older versions at present) I'd like to make sure I won't have problems. Any input will be appreciated.

Thanks for your response, Marian. I don't remember where I heard it actually; it was quite a while ago. It might have been on an internet software list or it could have been a co-worker. I didn't really think it was the case but wanted to check, just in case. As for the EULA, I was fairly certain I remembered reading about making a backup but as I said, my software is rather old, so I wasn't sure if the policy had changed in the past 2-3 years.
Is it possible to do the backup to an external hard drive rather than a DVD (and have it work if needed later) or must it be done so that it's all alone on a DVD? Also, as in my original question, is there a preference between Toast and CCC?

    You need to buy PSE13. But you can continue with PSE9 if you download and install the free DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will work with yoir existing software(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Backup Data/Options - Adobe Elements Organizer 8

    I recently own Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 and have some question regarding the backup option of the organizer.
    Is it possible to backup your personal settings/catalogus without backing up the photos?
         Since when I click the backup button the complete selected Catalogus is backed up including the photos.
         However, for me this unnecessary since I already back up my photocollection automatically.
         Backing up the photos via Adobe would mean another backup which in my case is unnecessary AND harddisk consumption.
    Furthermore, I know there is an option by which you can add  data such as meta, tags (except the album information for which I know this can not be stored in the photo properties) to a photo.
         Does this also include - stacked photo information - what I mean or try to explain is - I have stacked e.g. 4 photos. When I reinstall PSE8 and add the photos to the catalogus again (without the backup option) does it recognize/knows that the photos have been/are part of a stacked collection?
    Or can this kind of information only be restored with the build in backup function.
    In short can I backup a catalogus containing stacked / album information without the use of the backup function or the necessity to backup the actual photos too?
    Kind regards

    The File->Backup Catalog command creates backups of the catalog file and all photos.
    You can back-up your catalog "manually" by making a copy of the catalog file (*.pse8db) on a different physical disk.
    Stack and album information is never stored in the photo files; it exists only in the catalog file.
    When I reinstall PSE8 and add the photos to the catalogus again (without
    the backup option) does it recognize/knows that the photos have
    been/are part of a stacked collection?
    If you have to reinstall PSE8 on the same hard disk (assuming it hasn't been formatted), your catalog should not be affected in any way. There is no need for you (and in fact, it is a very bad idea) to add the photos to the catalog again. Which brings up the question ... why are you even considering re-installing PSE8? What problem does this solve? Normally you wouldn't reinstall PSE8, and it doesn't solve some problems that people think it will solve.

  • Replacing HDD from startup disk without backup or clone

    Hi,
    My HDD died recently and I am about to replace it, however all the info I have found says I need to backup or clone my current drive to an external drive etc. Is it possible to install Mac OS on a brand new HDD from the startup disk without a backup or clone?
    Thanks

    Yes, if you have the original OS X disks that came with the system or a retail version of OS X you can install as if it's a new system. You do not have to install from a backup or clone.

  • Is it possible to backup my iPhone without getting into the phone?

    I have a white iPhone 5c 16GB. It's my second time owning one, and the current one I have is from Asurion insurance company. I have heard those have been refurbished, so when I received my current phone I felt like it had already been old. iPhones don't have long life spans, for one. I would drop it a couple times and the edge of the screen would pop out but i would just push it back in using some force. Another problem it had is that it would die even when it had about 30% of battery left. Earlier today, it did the same. Trying to get my charger, the phone accidentally fell off of the bed while it was dead. As usual i check for cracks or the screen popping out and that didn't happen. I charged it and when i tried going on my phone I was only able to use half of the screen. The other half was covered in those lines that appear when the screen is damaged. My immediate reaction was to plug it into my laptop to backup the phone before more damage happened to the phone but I had procrastinated on updating itunes. It took about two hours for iTunes to completely download. Meanwhile the screen had just completely failed on me showing only the colorful lines, but i was still receiving calls and the phone could still vibrate, i just couldn't see or check anything at all. Once i was going to back it up, itunes said my phone was in recovery mode and that i had to restore my phone. I have precious photos that i want to keep when i get a new phone. Is it possible to backup the phone without using itunes and just using icloud? its saying my phone is connected yet im unable to see any proof of that other than the sound my laptop makes when i plug it back in. Also, if that doesn't work or is not possible, will i be able to just stick my sim card into a new phone and will i be able to keep my data?

    That's what I figured. When i go on icloud it shows the bar of the storage, and since i havent purchased extra, i only have the free 5gb. in icloud the bar shows the amount ive used and it says "backup" on the bar. It's not a link it's just a label. Does that mean it's backed up automatically on icloud?

  • Is it possible to backup all purchased media in iTunes to an external hard?

    I have a large media content that I purchased through iTunes that is only stored on my Mac Book Pro. I have not backed-up any of it yet because of the number of CDs/DVDs it takes. Is it possible to backup all of this purchased media onto an existing external hard drive or even a thumb/flash drive that I have instead of using a ton of CDs/DVDs that I will probably lose or misplace?

    Absolutely. Just drag the files themselves from your home folder (usually Users/yourname/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music - at work at the moment, I believe that is the specific path) onto your external drive.
    I have a smart playlist created which lists all files containing "Purchased" or "Protected" to help me isolate the files I need to back up periodically. This might also assist you as well.

  • Is it possible to insert images in Adobe 9 Standard?

    It appears that it is not possible to insert images in Adobe 9 Standard.  There is no TouchUp Object Tool in the Advanced Editing Toolbar in the standard version.  Only a TouchUp Text Tool.  Is this not a basic function being able to add or change an image in a document?  The tutorials all show this as a capability but they are also demonstrating in the Pro version of Acrobat.  Is there a work around or have I been suckered into buying a product that doesn't quite meet my needs? 

    The Touch-Up Object tool is not available in Standard.
    Adobe Acrobat is not meant to be a word processing program; it is meant to be a cross-platform method for document exchange. Changes are best made in the source program. While the answer to your question would not have been obvious from this list, it is a good reference for the difference between Acrobat products: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html .
    If for some reason it is not possible to edit the source file and create the pdf again, you can insert your image as a form button and then flatten it. A lot more work, but post if you want help with this.
    --For other folks reading this thread, Adobe offers trials of its programs. Consider testing before buying.

  • I have a Airport Time Capsule 2T, I would like to know if it is possible to backup all my apple divides (iMac, iPhone and iPad)?

    I have a Airport Time Capsule 2T, I would like to know if it is possible to backup all my apple divides (iMac, iPhone and iPad)?

    The iMac can back up to the Time Capsule, but iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad back up to either iTunes on your Mac....or....to iCloud.
    If the iPhone and iPad back up to iTunes on your Mac, then when the iMac backs up the iOS backups are sent to the Time Capsule as well.  So, the iPhone and iPad back up indirectly to the Time Capsule.
    The iPhone and iPad cannot back up directly to the Time Capsule.
    For more information on iOS backups, see this Apple support document:
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

  • Possible to backup an iphone4 without upgrading to ios7?

    Is it possible to backup and restore an iphone4 without installing the ios7 upgrade?

    Your right, it may already have ios7 installed. It's a gamble. Verizon was getting the phone from their warehouse, so there is a good chance it may still have ios6. If it does in fact have ios6 (which I am hoping for) would transferring my data from my current iphone4 with ios7 to my new iphone4 with ios6 affect the ios? How would I transfer the data...icloud, itunes? As you can tell I basically use my phone for...well...phone calls!

  • Is it possible to import xml into Adobe Muse to populate content similar to InDesign?

    Is it possible to import xml into Adobe Muse to populate content similar to InDesign?

    The only way I see this would be possible is through using JS that you can insert using the Object -> Insert HTML option, you may grab the XML to HTML code from here - http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_to_html.asp
    In order to test this out, simply download the sample XML file from the following location - http://www.w3schools.com/xml/cd_catalog.xml and save it somewhere locally. Now add this file to your Muse project using File -> Add Files for Upload option, it would then appear within the Assets panel.
    Add the code to your page and update the path referencing the file cd_catalog.xml to assets/cd_catalog.xml. Now on previewing the page in browser, you should see the populated HTML from the XML.
    Thanks,

  • Is it possible to backup the N95 firmware

    Nope, there's no going back and no legal way to backup a phone's firmware.

    Hi, I am working with CS6 Design Standard for Mac, I bought from Adobe a DVD with the Software. I installed it already on my mac book. Soon I wanna buy a second computer for my work. When I bought the software I was told that it is possible to install the software on a second computer. But I also read lately that I will only be allowed to work with one computer. I want to work on both of my computers without de/installing and de/activating the software every time. Is this possible? Thank you!!

    You should be able to install the products on two computers as long as they are not running at same. Also the platform should be MAC.
    You may download the product from

  • TS3992 Is it possible to backup documents and photos from my imac to iCloud?

    I thought it was possible to backup data to the icloud services previously but I can't see how to do this. Is it really only designed for backup of iOS devices and not from a mac? Thanks

    It will only back up data on iOS devices, not computers.  If you want a cloud-based service to back up files and photos you might consider a service like Dropbox, Google Drive, Skydrive, etc.
