Missing install disk on new MacBook Pro 15"

I just received a new MacBook Pro 15" from CDW.  There were no install/operating system disk's with the computer.  In the past my other mac's have come with the install disks.
Is this a new procedure for Apple?
I searched for discussions and on the internet but can not find a concise answer for this.

Look under the Apple menu for your OS X version, if it's 10.6.x then your missing your disks and you need to get them, either from CRW or Apple using your serial number.
If it's 10.7 then it's Lion and it doesn't come with disks, a recovery partition that requires a strong reliable fast internet connection to download and reinstall it.

  • Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

    Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

    In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
    Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
    I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
    Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
    You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
    Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
    Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
    You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
    Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
    After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
    The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
    i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

  • HT4796 Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection?  The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

    Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection?  The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

    I wouldn't recommend installing through a network connection.
    For a Virtual Machine:
    If you have the Win 7 media (DVD), use an app like PowerISO or MagicISO to make an ISO file of the install disc and use that.
    For BootCamp:
    Use the original install media and BootCamp Assistant, to install from your DVD Drive.

  • Adobe CS4 Indesign plugins missing when installed on brand new MacBook Pro. How can I get these missing plugins? Indd. files will not open

    Please Help!
    Adobe Chat doesnt deal with old products
    Apple Genius Bar says to talk to Adobe.
    HAD a 2008 MacBook Pro with Adobe CS4 installed
    now have a brand new MacBook Pro (and used my time machine to back up from my old mac) and when trying to open InDesign files - gives a list of plugins that are missing and will not open the document.
    I'm a graphic designer- so this is not an option..
    Please Help!

    You can install Adobe Programs ONLY from the originals installer which is provided from Adobe. Time Machine (which is a form of migration) will not result in working Adobe programs. As Bob said, use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, which is also working for CS versions, to wipe out everything from Adobe and start with a clean installing.
    I am not sure, if CS4 is running on Maverick, at least it is not supported officially, your are here alone. It might be so that you have to upgrade your software to a later version.

  • Can't do a fresh install on my new MacBook Pro

    I just got a new MacBook Pro and after setting it up, transferring no files, I decide that I actually would have liked to restore Leopard from my Time Machine back up. I try to do this via the Migration Assistant, but it's not working properly and it's taking up way more space on my HD than it should.
    So I decide to try and reinstall Leopard and start over. Only I can't. When I insert the Leopard installation DVD and double click on "Install Leopard", it restarts, but it's just stuck on a grey screen. If I hold down alt while booting I'm asked to choice between my Macintosh HD and the installation DVD, but when I choose the DVD, it starts spinning, but stops after a while and the computer is frozen. I can't delete what's on my HD from Disk Utility either.
    How do I get rid of what's on my HD and get a chance to install a fresh Leopard?
    This is driving me crazy, hope you can help me!
    Thanks

    Thanks a lot both. The thing was that I couldn't find any DVDs that belonged to my new computer, so I just used my old Leopard DVD thinking that it didn't matter which one I used anyway. When you said it did
    matter, however, I looked a little closer and found two DVDs in my new computer's box. I'm doing a clean installation as we speak.
    Thank you for your help!

  • How do I install on my new macbook pro retina without a cd drive?

    I got Photoshop Elements 10 for Christmas and now I just finally got my new Macbook Pro retina that doesn't have a cd/dvd drive so now I don't know how to install it?? Help please!!

    Either Copy the content of the DVD on a USB drive and then install or Download the trial from Adobe.com website and use the serial number on the Box to serialize it.

  • Install Windows on new MacBook Pro?

    Do I have any option other than additional hardware to install Windows on a new MacBook Pro?
    Option one:
    Get my hands on an older Mac with DVD drive.
    Option two:
    Buy an external DVD drive.

    The MacBook Air has never had an internal superdrive, Apple provides a download driver thru Boot Camp Assistant in additon to Windows Support Software, for USB-DVD.
    So yes,DVD;  or flash drive(?)

  • LP8 won't install on my new macbook pro (ver 10.8.4).

    I purchased LP8 a couple years ago, installed it on my desktop, then purchased and installed the upgrade to LP9 when that came out. (My desktop is the only computer that I've installed LP on).
    I just bought a new Macbook Pro running OS X (ver. 10.8.4), however, when I tried installing LP8, the macbook wouldn't install b/c the program was too old and is therefore incompatible.
    I don't have to purchase an entire new set of LP in order to get it on my new laptop, do I? I still have plenty of those LP ugrade coupons left, so I don't want to re-purchase the DAW.
    Thanks...

    Sorry, but when Logic Pro 8 was released (2007) 10.5 was the most current OS X version. We are now at 10.8 and that OS doesn't support some of the old applications anymore. 6 years have passed since.

  • Trying to install PS4 on new MacBook Pro. I have already installed PS 3 extended.  When PS4 asked for my PS3  serial number will not accept # on back of my PS3 case?

    I have PS3 and PS4 installed on Mac 27", but when I try to install PS4 on my new MacBook Pro will not accept Serial # on my PS3 Extended case.  Even though I have PS3 Extended installed!!  Tried Serial # with and without dash, but neither works.  Had both installed also on my MacBook Air OK but I wiped intend installed new OS.  Not clear why PS4 not accept PS3 Serial # despite the fact that PS3 Extended already installed with the correct Serial #.

    Photoshop 3 and Photoshop 4 for the Mac were released in the 1990s before Mac OSX and will only run natively on the Classic Mac OS (OS 9.x or older). They may run under emulation in "Classic Mode" on a PPC Mac up until OSX 10.4. They will not run on any Mac with an Intel processor nor with OSX 10.5 or newer. Same with Photoshop 5 and Photoshop 6.
    Photoshop 7 came with both Classic and OSX versions, but will only run on a PPC-based Mac, or an Intel Mac up to OSX 10.6.x with the Rosetta emulator
    Now, to clarify the naming of versions;
    Photoshop CS = "Photoshop 8.x"
    Photoshop CS2 = "Photoshop 9.x"
    PS CS and CS2 came as OSX versions only and will only run on a PPC-based Mac, or an Intel Mac up to OSX 10.6.x with the Rosetta emulator
    Photoshop CS3 = "Photoshop 10.x"
    Photoshop CS4 = "Photoshop 11.x"
    PS CS3 and CS3 came as OSX versions but run on either a PPC-based Mac up to OSX10.6.x with the Rosetta emulator or an Intel-based Mac, at least up to Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.x (the latest I have tried personally)
    As for upgrades, you can go back about (3) revisions to use the old SN for an install; e.g. a PS 7 SN can be upgraded to PS CS3 (10.x) but not to PS CS4 (11.x). So, there is no way PS 3 could be upgraded directly to PS CS4 (11.x)

  • Can't install CS4 on new MacBook Pro

    I'm trying to install CS4 on a brand-new MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.6.3. The Setup doesn't even start. I get an error message: "Setup cannot be opened because of a problem." It says that Setup won't work with this version of Mac OS X.
    In the Terminal details, there is the following error:
    Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/asneu.framework/Versions/A/asneu
    Referenced from: Users/...
    Reason: image not found
    I get the same error whether I double-click on the Setup.app or do Open Package Contents > Contents > MacOS > Setup.exe.
    I have researched this error and found that other people have had the issue when the setup process is 90% through, but I can't even get mine to start. I've tried using the CleanScript app from Adobe, but since I don't have another version of Creative Suite on this brand-spankin-new computer, there's nothing to clean or uninstall. I've also tried creating another admin login to install from that, but to no avail.
    Any help out there?

    the error says library not found. Somehow the install program does not execute properly. It might be a problem of the disc. If you have a second computer or an external Drive try to install from there and see if the same error occurs. If it does, then it must be the CDs. If not then we have to investigate further.

  • Logic Studio 9 Not installing on a new MacBook Pro

    I just purchased a new MacBook Pro (Retina) running the Mountain Lion (10.8.3). When I try to run the installer i'm being told that I can't run the installer because Power PC Applications are no longer supported even through the discs indicate it is a Universal App.
    Any idea what gives?? I was able to install it on another MacBook Pro I got last year.

    Last time I checked Pacifist, it allows the user to extract the component parts out of a package.
    Have they now updated it to allow for Pacifist to actually run the Installer Script, too (in such a way as to duplicate the action of the original Installer script)?
    I think that you will find that it has done so for some time, but it certainly does now:

  • Leopard Install on Brand New MacBook Pro?

    Hey guy's, I got my first Mac today. A lovely brand new Macbook Pro. I got a copy of Leopard in the box and have run an upgrade.
    Was this right? As the computer is new with nothing on it and I have nothing to import of another Mac onto it should I just do a complete erase and install?
    What's the best option?

    wow thanks for the very fast reply! I'll stick with it then and see how it goes. I love the thing though. It's very sexy!! Bit peed that they bumped the 7200rpm drive up to 200GB today but never mind, not fussed by the CPU as it'll only use the battery more and this thing is fast enough!
    Will the upgrade convert all the OS into the full 64bit?
