Lightroom 5 upgrade: need to re-install LR2 first?

I own a copy of Lightroom 2. I have just moved from pc to iMac and wish to upgrade to Lightroom 5 with no carry-over of photo files. Will I have to load Lightroom 2 onto the iMac before uploading Lightroom 5 Upgrade or does it come as a complete package?

Lightroom 5 is a complete standalone install. No need to install LR2 on the PC first.
When you enter your LR5 serial number, you will be asked to enter the serial number from an earlier qualifying version.
Enter your LR2 serial number and the LR5 install will complete.

I have my serial number for 9 Standard. It is not installed on my new computer. Can I still upgrade to latest without installing 9 first as long as I have serial number?

Yes, so long as it was a retail copy of Acrobat Standard.

Reinstalling CS6 upgrade needs 5.5 installed first?

If I need to reinstall CS6, is it essential that I have CS5.5 installed on the PC, or can I just enter my licence number when/if prompted?
I have progressed through a number of upgrades to arrive at CS6. I don't want to repeat these installations if I can just supply the previous version's licence number.

you don't need to install cs5.5 before installing your cs6 upgrade.

SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013 Upgrade - Need to Goto SharePoint 2010 First?

All,
I've seen some posts that say one can go from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013 - without upgrading to SharePoint 2010. Other posts say otherwise.
Therefore, what is indeed the answer. Ideally I'm looking to stand-up a new SharePoint 2010 or SharePoint 2013 farm then likely do a detach then upgrade of the SharePoint 2007 content databases to SharePoint 2010 or 2013.
Thanks

If you want to do a standard SharePoint upgrade, yes you must go to SharePoint 2010 prior to 2013. If you want to use a 3rd part/in-house custom application content migration upgrade, then you can go straight from SharePoint 20xx to 2013.

Purchased Lightroom 6 upgrade, shows as CC

I have the Creative Cloud for a year. I will probably not renew it again. I have the standalone version of Lightroom 5.7 on my computer which is separate from CC. I then purchased Lightroom 6 upgrade. When I installed it, I was asked for my Adobe account information which I gave and logged in.
When I start Lightroom, it shows Lightroom CC. I want Lightroom 6 standalone so it will be mine forever. How can I get this situation changed?

Did it! uninstalled Lightroom CC using the current account that is associated with CC. Then uninstalled Lightroom. Created a NEW Adobe account. Logged into it. Then reinstalled Lightroom, and it prompted me for the serial number. It works like a charm!

You can go strait to SL, all you need is a retail SL DVD available from Apple for $20. The US online store has them at:

I'm trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard but my macbook keeps ejecting the disc. It started to install the first time and said it needed to restart to finish, restarted but ejected the disc. It ejects every time now.

I'm trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard but my macbook keeps ejecting the disc. It started to install the first time and said it needed to restart to finish, restarted but ejected the disc. It ejects every time now. I've also installed the 10.5.8 combo update but that didn't help it. I've tried restarting the macbook with the disc in, holding c, all that. Why won't this work?!

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

What version of iPhoto are you using? 9.6 is the current version.
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Tried to use Iphoto and was told I needed upgrade. Try to install upgrade . Upgrade should take an hour if photo library is large. It's now close to three hours and still upgrading. Can't use Iphoto and don't want to stop if still upgrading...3hours??

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

Upgrade HDD to SSD (Do i need to re-install?)

I just bought an SSD (Samsung 470 series is the one thats best with MBP right?) and i want to replace it with the stock HDD that came with my 2011 MBP 13".
What if i upgrade RAM from 4GB to 8GB and transfer from HDD to SSD by carbon copy cloner. Do i need to re-install Lion then?
Is TRIM automatically enabled if i transfer from HDD to SSD?

Upgrading the RAM is fine by itself. Just know you only have two slots, and thus need matching pairs of 4GB modules to increase the RAM from 4GB to 8GB. If you have $900, OtherWorld Computing has 16GB of RAM (two 8GB modules) for sale. (no compensation)
Use the online Crucial checker and MacTracker to make sure your getting the correct specs of the RAM (and the amount of modules) before purchasing.
What you need to do is use the free to use (donations accepted) Carbon Copy Cloner on the HDD while it's still in the machine, clone to a external powered drive and hold option to boot from it, test it out that it works.
Then make the HDD to SSD switch and option boot from the clone again, format the SSD HFS+ Journaled and use CCC to clone it onto the SSD.
OtherWorld Computing and iFixit has videos, pictures, instructions and tools needed.
When you clone, it clones the OS X partition only, not both your OS X partition and the Lion Recovery Partition, which in your case is unnecessary to have if you have a "hold option" bootable clone. (should keep two at times)
If you need to download Lion installer again, simply use MacAppStore and hold option and click on Purchases, either in Lion or Snow Leopard and then make a couple of " hold c" bootable DVD's from these instructions.
http://www.eggfreckles.net/notes/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/
These DVD's made from these instructions contain the full OS X Lion, not a Recovery Lion disk or the Lion Recovery Partition which Apple provides a download for and requires a lengthily Internet connection to download Lion before it's installed.
Far as setting the TRIM, I don't know about that. Hopefully someone else will answer.
If not ask Dave (Bmer) over here:
http://macosg.com/
He replaced his hard drive with a OCZ Vertex, the fastest SSD's on the planet and also his Superdrive with a 7,200 RPM 750GB drive for storage (note: you can't boot from a Lion/Snow/Windows DVD from a external optical drive) so he would know best what to do.
Also OCZ just came out with a 480 gb or so very fast SSD, the Vertex 3 series, just as fast as the smaller SSD's but with more storage capacity, so that would be worth checking into. (smaller SSD's are faster, larger older ones are just a bit faster than a regular hard drive)
Also check out your Mac model's SATA number using the fre MacTracker and System Profiler, this way you can by the right SSD for the price and know your bus speed limitation accessing the SSD.
Good luck.

Do I need to re-install Adobe software when upgrading from XP 32-bit to XP 64-bit?

I have CS5 applications, and older Premiere/related (Audition2) software. I'm thinking for the CS5 applications, since they use 64-bit, I may need to re-install them after upgrading OS and RAM. Is this what I should do and is there a process I should follow?

XP64 is long dead. What you are trying to do is utterly pointless, especailly since neither After Effects, Premiere Pro nor the 64bit version of Adobe Media encoder will run. Likewise, Photoshop 64bit will not/ may not be able to use hardware acceleration. Upgrade to Win 64 and get CS6/ Creative Cloud or just leave things as they are now. Everything else is a waste of time and money.

If i upgrade osx will i need to re-install applications such as Photoshop

Hi I have a 4 year old macbook pro running OSX 10.5.8
It's now starting to run quite slow so I was thinking about upgrading to SnowLeopard and then Lion.
I understand that I have to backup my current data which I have now done.
I understand that I need to download SnowLeopard to then install it, but I'm worried I will need my original disks for some of my software; iWork '09, Adobe illustrator and Photoshop, which I'm not sure where my original disks are anymore.
Will I need to re-install these any of this software if I do an upgrade of osx?

No. However, you need to make sure your apps will run under Lion if you decide to go that route:

Also, although Apple states you need SL to upgrade to Lion, fact is if you purchase the Lion USB key from Apple, you can go directly to Lion. Make sure your computer meets the requirements:
