Lightroom disk install failure

I'm trying to install my Lightroom 2 disk on a third computer. It's the replacement computer for an old one that "died." The installation fails - encounters an error that causes failure. How do I tell it that my first installation is no longer in existence? (assuming that this is the problem - the disk looks fine and has worked in the past. And I know, I need a newer version.....)I'm on Mac 10.7.3. I already have installed Lightroom 1 on this computer. Must I upgrade to Lightroom 4 now? I was hoping to stay cheap right now.

Installers don't care for activations. One has nothing to do with the other. Since you didn't provide the exact error, we cannot advise beyond that, but it may simply be an compatibilty issue with newer versions of OSX.

Lightroom disk install

lightroom 5 will not install from disk on older mac mini, os10.9?

Not sure what might be wrong, unless, maybe the computer only has a CD drive and you're trying to install from a DVD. I don't know what sort of media LR comes in since I didn't get a disc with the latest version.
You might just as well download and install the LR 5.3 update DMG from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates instead of installing from a physical disk that probably has 5.0.

My iMac is from early 2009. Should I have a new hard disk installed to prevent disk failure?

My iMac is from early 2009. Should I have a new hard disk installed to prevent disk failure?

Having a good backup strategy is the best way to prevent data loss.
see > http://www.macworld.com/article/1156643/how_i_back_up_frakes.html
That way if and when your internal hard disk ever does fail or you just what to upgrade your Mac to a larger hard drive, you have a good backup on a external hard drive to recover from.
Personally I use Carbon Copy Cloner and keep current bootable backups on several external hard drives. That way I can either boot up and run or restore from them in case something ever happens to my internal hard drive.

Han,
You should be able to install CC on a second computer, licensing rules allow you to install on two computers.
Please first try signing out and back in: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

Premiere Elements 10 install failure on Mac osx 10

I have a copy of Adobe Premiere Elements 10, the five disk set, and keep having the same failure trying to install it on my Mac. I have gone through all the product requirements and made sure that my computer satisfies them, but I still find an install failure at 51%, Exit code 7, each time.
What can I do?

I had the exact same problem installing Premiere Elements 10 on a Mac from DVD. Exit code 7 when it reached 51% installation. I followed the link to "updated installation instructions" provided in this forum by Adobe Employee Jeff Wright. It works.
The instructions in a nutshell: DON'T USE THE DVD. Instead, download a trial version. When you install use the serial number provided with your DVD.
I find this to be extremely aggravating. I spent a lot of time trying using the Adobe Support Advisor application trying to sort through the error codes. Then I spent time trying to get through to Adobe Support (never did get through). Finally I tried the forum and found the answer here.
I find Adobe to be grossly inadequate in two ways. First, they put out a product that just wasn't tested. The DVD won't install on a Mac. It is as if they did not test their product. Second, their support is awful. This is a known problem with a known solution. When the fault occurs, the Adobe Support Advisor application should point the customer to the "updated installation instructions". Instead it points to faults that are unrelated so the customer is led on a wild goose chase.
I hope the product will be better than my experience so far.

Photoshop CS5 Install failure, but on just one instance of SL (the one I

HI, I know this is a strange place to post this, but Adobe Support suggests talking to Apple, as I have an install failure of Photoshop CS5, the install app won't even initialize, and it's just on one instance of SL. I can install fine on other machines, and other bootable drives, but not on the one inside an imac (late 2008 vintage). Baffling, as the problem must be tied to this one instance...my production one. I tried other users on the machine, but no luck...same problem. I checked permissions, ran Disk Warrior, all of that, still no luck. Anyone have any other suggestions besides using Gimp:) thx,
coocoo

I can see what's going on with the installer... first it's supposed to create a temp application dir in the user account, Adobe/OOBE/blabla... then kick off the activation and then the installer. Before it get's to the activation part, it blows and deletes the dir it started. As I successfully can install on another boot drive, I tried to cobble together the installation that way, by just copying files over, and got there - pretty much. I just can't activate with my serial number as I am supposed to be able to do...probably intentionally made so - but PS is running in trial mode on my production machine, and full mode on a test machine - ha! If I could just reverse the situation I would be golden. Anyway, I have another call in to Adobe...

RE: Install Failure

We have successfully installed the Forte 2.F.2.0 version on the NT
server 4.0. We have less number of services runnning on the NT server
and the NT server should be BDC instead of PDC for the better
performance. The installation on the NT server 4.0 has few other bugs
like, in the process of installation it will through a error message
saying that 'No program manager found' and it won't configure the
program icons properly.

Has anyone else had a problem with installations?
I have an NT4 Server (service pack2).
I launch the setup.exe and the splash screen comes up,
a temp directory is decompressed, and then it's all over.
No Forte.
I've successfully installed on other NT station machines,
it seems InstallShield is getting some sort of 'red light'.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Matthew,
firrst of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
unfortunately you do not give us any information about your system. Please fill in your system's details in "My public profile" in the right sidebar of this page. We need to know as much as possible about your system in order to help (especially: exact type of Mac you use, current system version, RAM, 3rd-party cards)!
Before you start please confirm you have the retail full install DVD! You cannot use hardware specific disks that shipped with another computer.
Repair permissions cannot do it's duty without a bootable system installed. Therefore an empty partition is always grayed out.
Did you upgrade your firmware before you reformated: Mac OS X: Chart of Available Firmware Updates?
Make sure you format your disk as "Apple Extended (Journalled)".

Disk Boot Failure [solved]

I'm installing arch on a rebuilt system, but I cannot get it to boot. I have pared the system down to a a SCSI card, a video card, a single hard drive, an IDE CD, a SCSI tape drive, and a floppy. I have tried my standard installation partitioning scheme, and the automatic version.
No matter what I do, while the system seems to install correctly, when I reboot I get a Disk Boot Failure.
I've zeroed the drive, I've tried an fdisk /mbr, I've run a Maxtor burn-in test which came back fine. I'm convinced it isn't the drive. The standard menu.lst uses root (0,0) and the kernel in /dev/discs/disc0/part3 after an automatic installation. I mounted the /boot partition set up by the auto install, and the grub directory and files are there.
What am I missing?

I think it's solved.
Everybody who was mentioning the BIOS got me looking in there, but I found nothing out of the ordinary. I decided to try to install Windows 2K to see if that would boot, which it did flawlessly. I reinstalled arch, and go the disk failure. Back to the BIOS.
This is an IDE hard drive; the only thing SCSI is the tape drive.
What I found was that the access on the hard drive was set to Auto, which I had seen before but didn't think to be a problem. I tried changing that to LBA (which is what I thought Auto would do on a drive like this), and suddenly arch comes up just fine.
I have a couple of RocketRaid cards that I'm installing, and will be playing around with the SCSI as well. I'm going to play with things a bit more, but unless I can make it fail with some other tweaking, that BIOS setting appears to have been the problem.
Thanks to everyone for their help!

Problems with 1st Boot (media test failure, disk boot failure)

I have the K7N2G motherboard.
I hooked up everything in my system and on my first boot I get this error:
PXE-E61: Media Test Failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting NVIDIA Boot Agent
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
So, I figure I'll start from scratch and just start with the floppy drive, cpu, and ram hooked up and I get the same error. Here are my specs:
MSI K7N2G
Athlon 2400
Kingston PC3500 RAM
Volcano 7 Fan/Heatsink
Seagate Barracuda V SATA 80 GB
Verbatim CDRW 52/24/52
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This happens if:
- The hard drive is not installed
- An Operating System is not installed
- The BIOS cant detect the hard drive, maybe:
= The wrong jumpers are set on the hard-drive
= The cable is not polarised and pin 1 is on the wrong pin
- The hard-drive has not been set-up in the BIOS
Try something like the above

DISK BOOT FAILURE: PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM DISK....

Hi
I have exhausted two full days on the following problem so I would greatly appreciate some help. The problem I am experiencing is that the disk will not boot on its own. I receive the "DISK BOOT FAILURE: PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM DISK...." error when starting up. I have run chkdsk, i have run Western Digital Diagnostics for Dos (quick test) and no problems come up with the drive. I have also jumpered pins 5 and 6 to force the drive to run at SATA-I speeds. Now here's the curious part: The disk boots up and functions absolutely perfectly IF and ONLY IF, the bios is set to boot from my IDE drive. Now on the IDE drive I have a boot.ini file set up to allow me to boot the SATA drive instead. Using this work around (i.e. boot from IDE, select SATA drive from boot menu) the drive seems to work just fine. However if i change the bios back to boot from the SATA drive (and therefore use its own boot.ini) I receive the error again and the boot will not continue.
Here is my set up:
MSI K8T Neo2-F v2.0 motherboard (with latest BIOS).
Athlon 64 X2 4200+ dual core CPU
1024GB DDR 400 RAM
1 Western Digital 120GB IDE HD running on primary master.
1 Pioneer DVD-108 DVD-RW running on secondary master.
1 Western Digital 250GB (WD2500KS) running on SATA1.
Nividia GeForce 6800 running on AGP.
M-Audio Audiophile 2496 PCI
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS PCI
Originally the system was as above without the new WD2500KS drive. I then bought the new SATA drive and installed windows to it with the intention of clearing windows from the original IDE and making it a storage drive. The above workaround is how I completed installation of Windows XP and installed my other programs, otherwise when rebooting during installation the disk would fail again.
Another issue is that Windows will NOT designate the SATA as drive C. When disconnecting the IDE, the SATA will become "c:" but as soon as the IDE is plugged back in, it immediately claims "c:" again and the SATA becomes "d:". This is ascertained from running the Recovery Console and using 'map' for example. It is important that I get this to "c:" as I have programs which appear to look for files by an absolute path and will not find them on "d:".
I have also tried to 'fixmbr' and this is the only time I have seen any curious message. Using the workaround the disk works fine. But when I tried to 'fixmbr', the system warned that the disk had a non-standard boot record (or something to that effect). But in any case, boot seems fine so long as we're not booting it directly.
Finally, I should confirm that the BIOS is set to run the SATA in IDE mode and not SATA (although as a sanity check I have run it in RAID and the result is the same).
I have no idea at this stage whether the problem lies with the SATA drive or the motherboard. I have sent a copy of this to WD "for further troubleshooting", and am posting a copy here for any advice on the mobo side of things.
Many thanks

Thank you for your reply. You are right, I've just resolved the problem today and discovered that this was the case.
To close the topic and leave advice for anyone else facing similar difficulties I will sum up the progress since the initial post.
Having tried absolutely everything else, I thought "what happens if i make this sata c:?" so I decided to edit the registry and force a drive letter change to ensure that my SATA was "c:". After having done this the SATA for the first time successfully booted to the boot menu! However when loading up into Windows it kept hanging. So next I thought all I need to do is a repair install now, I disconnected the IDE to leave the SATA only and attempted this. Unfortunatley the repair install also kept hanging. The Microsoft support page detailing how to force the drive letter change does warn that doing so can mess everything up unless the problem occurred in some specific circumstances.
So a new install was in order. I hooked up the IDE again and booted from it, backed up all my files to the IDE, and then disconnected it again. Then booted from a Western Digital diagnostics disk and zero filled the SATA - this was more for my own sanity so as not to worry about dodgy MBR's and what not. Then booted from WINXP CD and formatted and reinstalled fresh.
Install was successful.
Hooked up IDE externally to dump back my backed up files. Then deleted the IDE's partition and formatted it. Powered down, connected the IDE internally again - booted from SATA successfully (now on c:)... the IDE was no longer recognised as a "system" disk in Disk Manager, so I gave it a drive letter and hey presto we're business again!! One SATA system disk on drive c: and one IDE storage drive!
SHORT VERSION: If you are adding an SATA drive to an IDE set up, and want the SATA to be your OS disk, unhook all the IDE's first... if the target drive is not in isolation when installing Windows, all kinds of problems can ensue which are very difficult to correct after the install.

Lightroom 3 install from downloaded version thru Adobe Store

I just bought a MacBook Pro for photo editing. I have the original disk for LR2 which I had installed on a Windows machine; I purchased the LR3 upgrade download from Adobe Store to also run on that Windows machine. This downloaded file is saved on that Windows computer as a .exe file.
When I tried to use it on the new Mac, the Mac OS doesn't recognize it.
I went to the Adobe store to download it again, maybe in Mac version, but the "Win/Mac" English version shows "not applicable"
However, "Mac multiple languages looks like it can be downloaded.
Do I need to install LR2 from the original disk, then down load the upgrade while on the Mac?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
just to the side of this forum thread is a link that answered my question. Basically, on your Mac, go to the Adobe Store and download the full trial version of LR3 for Mac. It shows up as a dmg file. Install it and you put in your SN for your previously purchased LR3 upgrade; another box will then appear asking for your original LR purchase SN, since this is an upgrade. Put those numbers in and BAM! all done. Worked for me!
Thanks for those that responded with help.

Disk SMART Failure

Basic question I'm sure, but want to get it right the first time. I've done my searching and still not clear on the procedure to replace a failed adm in our Xserve RAID. I have a RAID5 setup (upper controller) with (4) 250GB adm's (approx. 20,000 hours each) and (1) 250GB adm as a hot spare. The drives are in position 1 through 4, with the hot spare in position 7. Drive 2 is throwing a SMART failure and making an annoying high pitched whine, so I'd like to proactively replace it prior to failure. I have an extra 250GB adm ready to install, have backed up the data, so how to proceed? Is it as easy as pulling drive 2 and inserting the new adm? Thanks in advance for any advise / experience / reassurances
BPR
RAID admin 1.5 / Firmware 1.5 /1.50f

Yes - just pull the failed/failing drive. Since you
have a hot spare in the chassis, the XServe RAID will
imediately begin rebuilding the array using this
spare.
Hi,
I've a similar issue with a RAID 5 array: the Xserve RAID notified me by email of a disk SMART failure.
In the RAID Admin, the status for that disk is "Warning" (orange).
I also have a spare disk in the array, its status is "OK" (green).
Will the Xserve RAID automatically "replace" the failed drive to the spare one?
If so, how can I check if it's already rebuilding the array in the background?
Thanks.
