Lightroom 5 - from DVD to download for MAC

I am really not happy with my experience thus far. You have designed this site in a way that is a real turn-off for NEW customers. I feel like Marco Pollo or Magellan trying to navigate this maze of pages and all I wanted to do was ask a question. This is customer service prevention.
My question - finally - is that I purchased Lightroom 5 on Amazon and received a DVD in the mail. I am on a Mac that does not have a disk drive. How can I download my purchase using my serial number, etc?
PLEASE send me an actual answer remembering I am new and not an Adobe geek. Do not send me a series of pages I have to navigate and decipher for myself. If you are a robot, contact your supervisor so I get a human response.
Painfully and regrettably yours,
Patrick

  • My up to date iMac can not read the lightroom 5 installation dvd I received for christmas, the dvd player works fine with other dvd's, is there a way to download the program with the dvd's serial number?

    No need to worry about the disk version. You would just have to install an update anyway as soon as it was installed. Download from the link provided below and use the serial number you have to activate.

    Hi, I have just loaded Lightroom 5 from the disc onto my Mac.  every time i try and launch the application, it goes to the registration/licence window.  i have input the data five times already.  When Lr5 launches the update window appears, when i try to do anything the following message comes up: - An error occrred when attempting to change modules.  What do i need to do to fix this?

    Masher please use the uninstaller located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once Photoshop Lightroom is removed then please download Lightroom 5.5 from Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.5 and reinstall.

  • Safari download for mac.

    my internet has been insane lately. so i decide to wipe out my browsers and re downlad them incase its just a corrupted safari. so i trash safari and keep firefox. all is well untill i go to the apple website and find now safari download for mac. am i crazy? there are 2 otions for windows users and no mac. uhhhhhhhhhhh.....help?!?!

    The reason for the lack of a download is mainly due to WebKit. This is the part of OS X that knows how to render a webpage and is used by Safari, Dashboard, Help Viewer, Mail.app etc.
    Each point release of OS X tends to update WebKit and the versions of applications that work with it. So, Apple would have to provide downloads for every variation of Safari that has been released - going back to 10.3 that's probably getting on for 15 different versions. As you can imagine this is just as likely to lead to people trying to install the wrong versions for their systems.
    The same applies to other OS X applications - Mail, iCal, iChat, etc. None of these are available for individual download in the case of accidental deletion.
    The one exception to this that is made is that you can reinstall certain applications from the installation DVD, as mentioned in [this article|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301229].
    For Windows, life is a bit simpler as WebKit is delivered with the Safari application (since there are no dependent applications on Windows that use it).

  • I'm new to Mac and I have a Mac Mini. Could you please tell me how I could paste an URL to a video downloader like "Coolmuster Video Downloader for Mac"? I can copy the url but I could not paste it on the downloader. I appreciate your help to my problem.

    Is this happing because the external is formatted to PC and not mac?
    Yes that is correct.
    Will I need to get a mac external hard drive if I wish to continue to save my documents like this?
    If you no longer use a PC you could format this drive for the Mac. However be aware that formatting a drive will erase all the data on it. So you would need someplace to copy the data off this drive to while you did the re-format and then you could copy the data back.
    You could get another drive, format it for the Mac and copy the data to it. Then re-format the original drive and use it as a backup drive. Always good to have backups.
    Post back with the drive type and size of the current drive, if you are doing backups now and how and if you still need to access this drive from a PC.

  • I have a Samsung Chromebook; which do I download -- for Mac or Windows?

    I have a Samsung Chromebook; which do I download -- for Mac or Windows?

    From what I have read, you can use neither of those option.  Google Chrome OS is a completely different animal and you would need to check on the chrome website for apps that are available for use with it.

  • I cannot import any video into my  Lightroom 5.4 (last version updated) for MAC

    I cannot import any video into my  Lightroom 5.4
    (last version updated) for MAC
    in the beginnig it was  working, just after installation and update... now nomore...
    I use .mp4 files
    Already tried to use a new catalog, clean caches, and reinstalling
    the error says "was not able to import video files"
    thanks

    Arghhh! A big thank-you to hhps-photo, you just solved the myth bothering me for the last 2 months!
    I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 from 4 and could not import any video. But when I downgrade to LR4 it worked again. I've tried so many other solutions suggested in the forum but none worked including cleaning cache, install divix plugin, install 32 bit version etc. Finally - it's because I blocked LR5 connecitons in my firewall !!!
    So simply allowed LR5 internet connection in my firewall settings and LR5 worked like a charm!

    What version of Java do I need to download for Mac OS 10.5.8?

    Since August 2012 updates for Java (and especially Java Runtime Environment, which is what you actually need) must now be downloaded direct from Oracle:

  • I bought the Dreamweaver CS5 for Windows a few years ago. Now I have also a Mac Book pro, where I have to Install the Dreamweaver CS5. I have made the Download for Mac, but I can't Install it. When I push the button, I got an error message.

    CS5 for Windows can only be installed on Windows operating system.
    You would need to purchase CS5 for Mac OS.
    Given that CS5 is now 4 versions back, it's unlikely you'll find a copy.
    You could get DW CC from the Creative Cloud which supports both Win/Mac platforms.

  • Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap). Any ideas?

    Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap and doesn't provide any kind of professional DVD authoring). Any ideas?

    This comes up a lot these days.
    Practically speaking, there are really four options for the Mac platform: Toast (<$100),  Adobe Premier Productiom ($1,600 to buy or $50/month to rent),  find a copy of Final Cut Studio from 3rd  party (+/- $1,000 new) or a boxed edition of iLife to get iDVD ($50 - $90 on Amazon new).
    The other question everyone has is how many OS versions before iDVD or FCS breaks? No one knows, but Apple has said they're no longer supporting these legacy apps. Of course, no one is mandated to upgrade to a new OS unless they buy a new computer. So if it works on a system, stay with it as long as it makes sense.
    Good luck.

  • When attempting to open a hyperlink to a PDF file on the web from a Microsoft WORD for Mac 2011 (14.3.9) document, Safari 7.0 instead displays the file as text?

    When attempting to open a hyperlink to a PDF file on the web from a Microsoft WORD for Mac 2011 (14.3.9) document, Safari 7.0 instead displays the file as text?

    As seen in http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macword/has-the-word- 2011-for-mac-invisible-toolbars/018a3ab6-0570-4ad5-abf8-5b6427fdde3e?msgId=e111b f0a-0e32-4fa3-9536-f349dad8439d
    and it worked for me:
    1. Quit Word
    2. In the Finder's menu bar, select Go > Go to folder and type or paste: ~/Library/Preferences/
    3. Click on Go
    4. Locate the preference file com.microsoft.Word.plist, then Option-drag it to the desktop to create a backup copy
    5. Go to Applications/Utilities and open Terminal
    6. Paste the following bold command at the $ prompt (it's a single line):
         defaults write com.microsoft.Word 14\\Toolbars\\Show_HIToolbar -boolean TRUE
    7. Press Return and then quit with Command Q
    8. Start Word and test. If the fix works, trash the backup file in the Desktop file. Otherwise, restore it.
    In the original source the author also mentions the change in Word 2008

  • What is the best DVD-ripping software for mac?

    what is the best DVD-ripping software for mac?

    Handbrake to copy to avi or mp4(I use it for watching my DVD's on the go, so my battery lasts for a longer time)
    I think MP4 is better quallity.
    To copy a DVD: simply use Toast (maybe withe popcorn, but I don't use it).
    But, be legal! This is a forum, and anyone can see your posts!
