Missing Installation Software

A Macbook Pro was just purchased for me but I've just noticed it did not come with installation software. What should I do?

Hi M,
Apple no longer ships OS install discs with Macs. Make sure you maintain a current bootable backup (like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper!) and/or a Time Machine backup. If issues occur, you can restore from one or the other.

    I had all my software, including my ‘Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium’ removed from my MacPro (OSX 10.10.2) by a Computer technician after I had inadvertently installed some malware.
    Now I can’t reinstall my CS4 because the installer software wants me to identify the product from which I am upgrading, but mine isn’t on the list. The old product from which I am upgrading is called ‘Adobe Design Collection’. Furthermore, it has 4 serial numbers (one each for Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat and Illustrator), not just one, as the installer requires.
    I know this can be done, as I have had it working for a long time. Am I doing something wrong now?

    Contact support be web chat and have them generate a working temporary serial/ challenge code for the install.

  • Windows 2000 not supported by Zen Sleek installation softwar

    I have Windows XP at home and MS 2000 at work. I was successful with the Zen Sleek installation software at home, but cannot get the sfotware to install on my work copmputer which is running Windows 2000. What's the deal? The requirements are listed as Windows 98/2000/ME/XP, but at the beginning of the installation, it stops with the message that the application will not run on this operating system.
    And are there any other pitfalls to trying to run the Zen Sleek with two different operating systems? I was hoping to get my Zen Sleek to act as my MS Outlook calendar and contacts carrier when I want to travel light.

    On your Windows XP computer if the Sleek is recognized as an MTP Device or you see the words MTP anywhere when it first got detected, or everytime when you connect it and a window appears with the words MTP on it, then this means that the Sleek will ONLY work on Windows XP. The software might say that it will work with 2000/98/Me, but it comes down to if the Sleek will work with those OS's.
    So if you see the words MTP anywhere, then it wont work with anything but Windows XP.

    Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.

  • My IMac will not load installation software for Mobile Internet USB Plug

    Hi, I have a new IMac(Leopard), and have recently loaded a new USB Mobile Internet Plug (SFR France) on to the machine in order to access the internet/mobileme.We live on a boat in France so being "connected" is so important to us.
    The installation software is in the USB plug, it loaded successfully, connected and worked well for a period of time.
    The IMac then seemed to "forget" the application, and did not open correctly and I had to "force quit" to continue.
    I then removed the application and any bits I could find in other folders, and tried to re-install by inserting the plug again. The Icon to install only flashed on the desk top and disappeared so I could not perform this task.
    I even tried to "restore" from Time Machine (and my external hard drive), the icon to install appeared on the desktop and I installed the application, but when I clicked onto the "connection icon" it jammed again and did not load.
    I checked the status of the installation device by loading the program successfully on the Macbook Pro I have, and even loaded it onto a Dell PC and even had it checked at SFR, and all ok. So it appears the problem is with the IMac.
    Any advice suggestions would be greatly appreciated, it is so frustrating!

    I have had similar problems with both Sprint and Verizon units (Novatel u727 & u760). Solved both by going to provider sites and downloading SW.

  • Printer Installer software closes immediately at "Applying updates"

    I have a Photosmart 2575, running Windows 7 X64 and the printer Installer software closes immediately at "Applying updates" right after clicking OK to accept EULA. I have had problems with driver removal and installation every time I've had to do this, which is fairly regularly because I start getting an error regarding the HP software when trying to scan something. I've had the same problem on 4 different computers and 3 operating systems.
    I started by uninstalling all HP software. I then ran Revo Uninstaller to remove and traces of HP software. I then ran a Level 4 uninstall. (rebooting countless times during this process and after).  I tried installing the driver manually as well to no avail. I also tried the automated utility that jsut kept trying to download and isntall the 300mb+ file over and over after failing. This has been an ongoing problem and still no changes have been made to the installer or software in just under 3 years.

    Based on the thousands of posts around the internet with this issue, I figured I would post the solution that worked for me as there are so many others with the same problem.
    Launch the installation and follow the steps untll the License agreement step.
    Click the 2nd link - Internet Connection Usage Settings
    Mark both of the options as No, Thanks and approve.
    Accept the License Agreement and proceed.

  • Downloading ox x installation software, downloading ox x installation software

    Evidently,  the new Mac Pros don't come with an installation CD.    I am trying to install a second instance of os x on a second hard drive as a backkup and also install bootcamp to use windows.
    Without an installation cd, the mac is telling me to download the installation software.   My internet is very slow and it says it will take 22 hours
    to download the installation software.    With the Mac,  there doesn't seem to be any way to pause and resume the download.   If I want to
    pause,  I have to cancel and then start from scratch.   
    Is there anyway to get the downloads as a file with the capability of pausing and resuming?

    If your computer came with Mountain Lion or you are installing from the Recovery, you can't resume or pause the download.
    If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion, you can pause and resume the download if you download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Open App Store > Purchases and download Mountain Lion, and you can also pause or resume the download there
