Is this a legal copy?
Last year, When I decided to upgrade my Lombard to Tiger, I looked around and found the Tiger CD's on Apple Rescue for a great price. When I wanted to get a second copy for my Wallstreet, Apple Rescue was no longer to be found. My question is: Do I have a legal copy, or was my hard earned cash spent in vain? In other words, should I get another copy of Tiger for the Lombard?
After additional research on Apple Rescue, I find that they were selling unauthorized copies of the Apple software. So I guess this means I must purchase a legal copy. Thanks, Kappy even though the news is not good. I researched Apple Rescue, and the owners were indicted in Massachusetts for selling illegal copies of apple software.

Anyone know how to stop the "activate" box from blocking usage of a perfectly legal copy of Ilisten? I want to help my dyslexic grandson and this box, including the activation code, keeps popping up, keeping me from using the software. I activated the program and did a few profile building sessions, now it pops up each time I start the program, blocking me from using it. Help sure would be appreciated.
JayI looked at your post this morning and did not know enough to respond, other than to find out that links to iListen now go to newer, renamed software. Considering it's been nine hours with no response, I'm suspecting few people here have experience with that software. You could contact the current copmany that used to sell that package and see if they have any archived support info.
BTW: please check you entry for "Mac OS" in your profile. It says iOS, which cannot run on an iMac. iOS is the system for phone and iPads but can't run on Mac computers. Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and see what it says about the OS version. Should look like this:
If the "Processor" line says "Intel," you have a newer Mac than the old modles this forum covers; Intel iMac have their very own forum here:

Where can I buy a LEGAL copy of CS 5.5??
Like so many people, my son uses Adobe only occasionally but he wants to grow his skills. Adobe (with whom I just spent over an hour on the phone) tells me that my 9th grade son is not eligible for the Student version because he intends to sell business card designs with the work product from Adobe. Sooo....I need to find a legal copy of CS 5.5. We thought we had one, long story, but we were scammed.
No way. At this point you can only buy current versions, menaing CS6 or sign up for Creative Cloud. Anything else will bring you back to finding a legit used copy with al lthe risks liek being screwed again...

Trying to clean up my iMac. Noticed that while in finder, I click on Applications and in the list I see another folder called applications that is a duplicator of the original folder. Is this truly a copy that can be deleted?
DO NOT remove either folder. DO NOT mess with any OS X system files either. If you have dupliocates check your files in iPhoto, iTunes and your iMovies libraries. Also check your data files, under ALL circumstances stay away from any OS X systems files or you will probably bork your Mac to the point it will not run.

I have an older G5 and It has been crashing a lot lately. Mostly when I'm using billing software or Vinyl cutting software. It also won't launch safari and occasionally it won't launch mail. The fan starts running faster and I get dos code that comes up on the screen over whatever program I'm running and it says:
System Failure:cpu=0;code 1436778.
This is a copy of the error report that appears after I reboot the comp. When I run the disk utility I don't see any problems pop up.

Is is possible to buy a legal copy of premiere cs5?
My CS5 was clobbered when my computer crashed and I built a new one. I'm unable to document that I ever owned it or previous versions. I don't want the cloud. Is it possible to buy a legal copy of CS5?
I suggest you buy CS6 instead. It is available and is the last perpetual license.

Where can I buy a LEGAL copy of Acrobat X (10)
I need a Legal copy of Acrobat X. Acrobat XI (11) does not function with my Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) Scanner. HP claims that the Scanner is 100% functional and tested with Acrobat XI. I had an download "Trial" version of Acrobat X, and it works flawlessly. All I now need is an Upgrade License for Acrobat X.
PLEASE HELP ME, either Standard or Pro. will make me happy.About your only choice would be an Adobe vendor who still has a copy on their shelves. The possibility of finding such a vendor is not too good.

That offer was for a CD-ROM. However, it's highly likely that that is not a legal copy. You would not be able to download a copy of CS2 from Adobe.

How do I know if the computer I bought has a legal copy of OSX 10.4??
starting to sound as bad as Micro$oft...
Hardly. Every single Mac sold comes with a complete set of disks with whatever is the latest version of the Mac OS at the time, along with gobs of useful software rather than the plethora of trial software and shovelware that comes with PCs. On top of that, many PC manufacturers don't even include a copy of the Windows software loaded on your computer! Your "backup" is on a hidden partition of the hard drive. Oh yeah, that's a really great place for the bundled software you paid for if the hard drive dies.
Purchasing a newer retail copy of OS X is no different than having to buy Vista if you want to move up from the XP version that your PC came with. When you sell the PC, your only obligation is to include all of the software that came with it. You are in no way obligated to include Vista, which you paid extra for after the fact. OS X is no different. That retail disk is yours separately of the Mac you were using it on. You can keep it to use on a different Mac, or sell it alone. -
I am purchasing a hard drive with OSX v 10.5 installed on it. can I make a usb or disk copy of 10.5 Leopard from this hard drive copy
Regards
JayIf the Mac in your signature is what you desire to use 10.5 with, you can't do so, it is too new.
If PowerPC application compatibility is what you desire with that Mac, look at this solution:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295#ROSETTALION
10.5 only was distributed by CD and updates to 10.5 from free online downloads. Why do you want 10.5, and what do you desire to put it on? Is the person sending 10.5 using 10.5 for anything? If he is, he can't sell the drive. -
My legal copy will not activate because I used it on a computer which crashed, I got a new hard etc.
I have a legal coopy of Elements 9. I installed it on an older computer which crashed. A new hard drive was installed and I re-intalled Elements. Shortly afterward, the motherboard and processor had to be replaced and a new hard drive was also installed. Then I bought a new computer. So I now have NO installed copies of Elements. But when I tried to install it on my new computer, it tells me to deactivate my older installations. Impossible, of course. But I can I convince Adobe that I am not running any additional copies?
You have to contact Adobe directly via a chat session or phone call for activation issues. They deal with this situation all the time, and will just deactivate your other copies.
PSE can be installed on up to two computers and so it is likely the third activation that is being prevented. When you talk to Adobe they may ask you a few pointed questions to determine if you are using a pirated copy—where many people would be trying to use the same serial number, so be ready for that.
You can also assume that Adobe has IP-address (and location) information for each attempted activation and if they see a large geographic distribution of attempts they may assume the serial number has been compromised. If you have purchased your PSE11 from a legitimate reseller then you probably have nothing to worry about, but if you got it off Amazon Marketplace (not Amazon, themselves) then it may have been an unahtorized copy that Adobe eventually figured out about, and they have blacklisted the serial number.
Hopefully you just installed it a couple times, already, and that is the only problem and Adobe deactivate those other installs. -
Hi,
Anyone tried this website http://www.ipodblockbusters.com/? Is this legal? I would like to be able to download movies, but I want it to be legal. Any reply would appreciated.
Thanks,
ApplePiWell let's see "Jarhead" which is on their front page doesn't release until March 7th 2006 on DVD, sooooooo....I would have to come to the conclusion that it was 99.9 percent illegal.
I find this a bit disturbing and is listed in their "Terms": Especially item one that states you must own a copy of the movie you download and purchase from them. This site is a typical ripoff that places you in a position of being sued by the movie industry.

there is no easy way to post this or forward without sending the entire page link and nobody will touch those if something like a preview doesn't show up, just looks like a bunch of unsafe links to most people, you need to have a share button on this if you really want us to share itHeres the link to "Take action" http://mzl.la/1CgTnKg.
