My computer doesn't have a cd drive.

I just go the new macbook pro, but it doesn't have a cd drive. I already own the Lightroom software on a disk. How do I install my Lightroom?

Download Lightroom from Adobe (the trial is really the full version but simply needs a serial number to run fully) and use your serial from the disc package. Alternatively if you have very slow internet you can share the CD drive from another Mac that has a CD drive and mount the CD on your MBP. Go to your control panel on the Mac with the drive, select sharing and enable DVD or CD sharing. It will show up as a drive on other machines on your local network. You shouldn't have to do this as the download is much simpler and faster in general.

  • How can I transfer the songs from a CD to iTunes if my computer doesn't have a CD drive?

    I have iTunes installed in my personal computer and that's the only computer where I connect my ipod touch (5th generation) and where I have all my music. But the problem is that this personal computer doesn't have a CD drive. I was thinking about installing iTunes on another computer (that does have a CD drive) and transfering the songs from the CD here and then connect my ipod to transfer the album. But will my ipod synce in this new computer and make a security copy and delete all my previous songs (from my personal computer)? And also, will I be able to transfer the album from my ipod to the iTunes library in my personal computer? Or is there any other solution for this? Thank you.

      Or is there any other solution for this?
    Be careful, the method you describe will indeed delete the contents of your iPod. 
    Instead, after you rip your CD on the other computer, copy the resulting song files to a flash drive.  Then copy them from the flash drive to your main computer, and add them to your iTunes library.

    is your cs6 a upgrade?
    if so, after entering your cs6 serial number you will be prompted to select the qualifying product from a dropdown.  select the product you own and enter its serial number.
    after entering each serial number at the correct time installation will proceed.
    if no, what files (names and extensions) did you download and what are the file sizes shown on your hd?

  • How do I download photoshop from a cd if my computer doesn't have a cd drive

    I bought both Lightroom and Photoshop last year. Due to recent computer issues I had to upgrade so that I could work on my photos easier. The only problem with this is that my computer doesn't have a disc drive and I don't know how to download my products.

    why not purchase a usb cd or dvd external drive? would imagine they are cheap enough, think you would need dvd for photoshop to install. many computers today dont have cd or dvd drives as it seems cloud software or downloadable installs are the current and the future - personally would prefer a usb flash drive with the software on but it seems now they are not such secure devices and can seemingly be empty yet have nasties that install or do things when inserted.

    Recently purchased a new PC with Windows 8 and doesn't have a disc drive. How do I install my Adobe PSE9 from my old computer to my new computer?
    Thanks!

    You do not install it from the older machine to the newer one.  You just install it on the newer one, and if you prefer to you can deactivate it on the older one, though you are not required to since you are allowed to have the software activated on two machines.
    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

    How can I load eLearning Suite 2.5 that I purchased over a year ago on my new computer that doesn't have a disk drive?

    if you follow all 7 steps (listed here, http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html) you can dl a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-captivate-5-and-elearning-suite-2-now-shipping.html/commen t-page-1
    and activate with your serial.
    if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

So I bought an external one and I went through the process to downloading it and putting in my serial number but when it was downloading it only got to 5% before it told me that I needed to insert the disc. How can I download the product if it tells me that I need to insert it when I already have it inserted? Please help me.
