My MacBook Pro has died. How do I un-install my Lightroom, to then be able to re-install it on another Mac?

Ned, I think you misunderstand me and the use of the term "honour system". I thought the last sentence in my post reinforced the first.
The term is used elsewhere on the Adobe's forums but, at the end of the day, it's not my concept, it's Adobe's.
Re: How can I deactivate LR 4.1?
I'm not disagreeing with you. Perhaps it's just the terminology being used that's causing confusion. We've had this discussion before how many times can i install LR5?
I agree with your post but there is no activation mechanism in Lightroom so there's no need to call Adobe to deactivate Lightroom.
All I'm saying is that there is no technical limitation to installing Lightroom on more than two computers. It's effectively an honour system, just like Adobe software used to be pre- the activation mechanism which now polices the two activations limit.
If users install Lightroom in more than two computers then they are in breach of the EULA.
Agreed, clause 2.1.3 of the EULA permits a maximum of two installations at the same time. The Lightroom software does nothing to stop more. That's up to the user to abide by the EULA.
This point is made in the Lightroom forum regularly.

My mac pro has died, how can I see my emails on my macbook

My Mac Pro has died. I intend to get it repaired, obviously, but I need to see my emails from the many years of emails archived on its undamaged hard drive. I have removed the hard drive and connected it to my macbook using a USB carrier. I can find myself under the users, but the library file where the mail folder is kept remains hidden, so I can't copy it across.
What can I do to get my emails useable again immediately?
I posted this before but on a Macbook discussion and got no useful reply.
It surely is possible to do this isn't it?

In Finder select Go, then hold the option key.
You will now see Library. Select it and navigate to Mail.
emails are in V2 Folder
See eric's suggestion to "check ’Show Library Folder’"

To keep it seperate from the Mail already on this Mac, I would set up another user account (->System Preferences->Users & Accounts), and then log into the new account. Quit Mail, Delete ~/Library/Mail in the new account and copy Mail from the other Mac.
Delete these files to force a re-index:
Open Mail

What I can do to rescue my MacBook?

If you enabled FileVault when you upgraded, it will take a few hours for the conversion process to finish, and during that time performance will be reduced. Otherwise see below.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Macbook pro has no sound feedback after yosemite install

Got Yosemite installed and for some reason there was no sound when increasing/decreasing the volume through the keys or the slider. I tried to hear a youtube video but it was not working, I am using chrome so could see that there was sound on the video as there was an icon on the web page tab. I re-started and went to the system preferences>sound and found that by default in the general section, the sound feedback is disabled. I did not test the sound after the re-start so i dont know if there were two issues, but enabled the sound feedback and now I can hear the volume when moving the slider, also the music is playing fine through the internal speakers.

1. System Preference > Sound > Output
   Internal Speakers selected?
2. Try Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
   Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
3. If there is red light visible in the headphone port plug the head phone into and out of the port
    couple of times to flip the microswitch inside. Sound may be stuck in digital mode.
4. Reinstalling iTunes may help sometimes.
Best.

My Mac Pro has died can I get my Mail onto my Macbook Air?

My Macbook Pro has died and before I send it for repair I would like to get all my Mails off it onto my Macbook Air. I have both the syatem disc and a Time Machine backup.
Is there a utility to do this or anything I need to look out for or make invisible files visible (and if so how on Mavericks).
I have been very much against putting much on iCloud, I am beginning to have second thoughts now...

If your email Provider uses POP, that setup is geared toward ONE computer fetching the emails off the Mail Server, reading them, and storing them locally (on your Mac). The Server deletes them after a while (but you can specify how long before it does that delete).
If your email Provider uses IMAP, that is geared toward one OR MORE computers reading emails, but the Master Copy continues to be stored on the Server. This makes it easy to use Multiple devices, and "Copying" is completey optional. But your Server mailbox can get really BIG unless you prune un-needed old emails and especially attachments.
iCloud, AOL, and Yahoo are some of the popular services that can be configured to use IMAP.
iCloud (possibly others as well) is set to transfer your messages encrypted. I am not sure whether they are stored encrypted.

My MacBook Pro has downloaded my old emails twice into my Outlook folder. Why? How do I stop this from recalling all the old emails?

My MacBook Pro has downloaded all my previous emails (several months worth) and reloaded them into my Inbox twice! Why is this happening? How do I get it to stop from happening again?
Thanks!

Since this is an Outlook question, you should ask over on the Microsoft Office for Mac forums.

HT1661 My mid-2009 MacBook Pro has just died via a painful (for me) hard drive failure. I backed up a good percentage of files recently but not enough to keep me happy. I need to access the dead drive on the MBP via a 2008 iMac. Best options?

My mid-2009 MacBook Pro has just died via a painful (for me) hard drive failure. I backed up a good percentage of files recently but not enough to keep me happy. I need to access the dead drive on the MBP via a 2008 iMac. Best options?
I have ordered a 800 firewire to 800 firewire cable and am hoping to use the target mode option to copy files from the MBP.
Is this possible?
Hope so!
Any advice and or help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Neil

Thanks Ogelthorpe.
Just bought an enclosure to try that also.
Hoping the MBP isn't really dead but just feigning death
Fingers crossed.

The only way to get it back is a hard reset or let the battery die and then plug in the charger. The brightness is up and the power stays on while screen is black.
This is the second macbook pro i have owned in the past two weeks. I am ready to return it for good if this is a chronic issue. Please help if you have had this same issue.

Try a SMC reset:

Try a NVRAM/PRAM reset:

If no joy, take it back, and take full advantage of your warranty!

Not very helpful. Micron / Crucial makes maybe 2000 RAM types. If all you have is the RAM and the label you may be thin on luck.
Reading the manual +*that came with the mac*+ is one resource, regrettably rarely used before posting here.

Macbook Pro has adware. Keep getting annoying pop-ups. How do I clean my laptop

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed. However see tis also:
