New computer w/o disk drive

I'm using a atudent copy of photoshop CS5 extended, which used a CD-Rom to install. I just recieved a new laptop that doesn't have a disc drive. Is there a way to download the software online and then input my product code/serial number?

Is your existing serial number for Windows or Mac?
Is your new laptop a Windows or a Mac?
If the serial is for a Mac and the new laptop is Windows (or vice versa) then you cannot re-install CS5 on the new laptop. You cannot use a Windows serial on a Mac and vice versa.
If they're both Windows or both Macs then you can re-install CS5 Extended.

  • HT1349 I had to get a new computer as my hard drive went and lost everything. How do I get my itunes library back?

    I had to get a needed to get a new computer as my hard drive died. How do I geatr my ituens library of songs back?

    The easy way is from the backup you make of your computer so in case something happens you don't lose anything.
    You can download some media files purchased from Apple:
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.
    This will not reconstruct your library as it was.  It just puts the media back.  You will have to do playlists, ratings, etc.  If you have music from another source you will have to get it from there again.

  • Switching iTunes (older version) from an old latptop with mechanical issues to iTunes on a new computer.  The hard drive, issue free, was placed in external drive enclosure.  How do I recover iTunes?

    I'm trying to moves iTunes (older version) from an old latptop with mechanical issues (non working screen, keyboard, and battery) to iTunes on a new computer.  The hard drive, issue free, was placed in external drive enclosure.  This was a cost effective way instead of dumping lots of money in an outdated old laptop while I can invest it into a new laptop.  How do I recover iTunes?
    I'm switching from a 3G phone to a blank 4GS in the process.  I would like to have everything that was on my 3G phone and iTunes on my new phone and computer.
    Thanks

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

    I have a new computer and my old drive has my UNSAVED bookmarks on it and I want to import them, how do I do it when the bookmarks are not SAVED?

    You can backup the bookmarks on the old computer and create a JSON or HTML backup and restore or import this file in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks).
    You can use an USB stick to transfer the saved bookmarks file to the new computer.<br />
    You can also copy the places.sqlite file from that computer to have the bookmarks and the history.

    Still not working. I need step by step instructions... I'm trying to follow the ones on the link as best I can but after I install the Adobe Download Assistant, log into Adobe and then click on the file 1 hyperlink and begin download for CS3 Adobe Illustrator, it downloads to my desktop. Then when I open it it says the following- see screen shot saying "setup" cant be opened because it is from an unidentified developer."
    Additionally, Creative Suite is not feautred on this screen after I have signed int Adobe with my ID. See screen shot below.

  • New computer build -- Photoshop scratch drive options

    It’s been years since I built my last Photoshop computer, so I’m researching what I want to include in my next build.
    I may use this computer for some video editing, but for the most part it will be dedicated to Photoshop.  I’m running CS5.  I’ll be stitching RAW images, & routinely editing 500+ MB files.  The configuration I’m closing in on is as follows:
    Windows 7, 64 bit
    Intel i5 2500K processor
    16 GB’s of RAM
    One of the soon-to-be released motherboards utilizing the Z68 Express chipset
    My question is about the Photoshop scratch drive, & what’s the best current technology.  On my old computer, I originally had a two-drive RAID 0 array, but when the Promise RAID controller started having problems, I reverted back to a single Raptor drive.  I see three or four possibilities for scratch on my new computer:
    1) Use a SSD as my scratch drive.  The question I have is about reliability in this application given the large number of sequential read & write operations required of a scratch drive.
    2) Build a RAID 0 array with mechanical drives.  Which ones?  I’ve read that the top-rated fast WD Caviar Black drives have problems in a RAID 0 configuration.
    3) Just go with a single drive – Anandtech tests show a single WD Caviar Black drive is almost as fast as single VelociRaptor when the data is sequential reads & writes.
    4) The new Z68 motherboards will support the Intel Smart Response Technology that can make the SSD become the "Cache of the HDD" to boost up the HDD access speed.  The idea is to use a small cheap SSD as the cache.  This has yet to be proven in a Photoshop environment, & it may run into the same reliability issues I’m asking about in item #1 above.
    Can anyone with PS scratch-performance knowledge enlighten me on the current state of affairs?
    Thanks,
    --Alan

    It's my opinion that you want to do all you can to keep Photoshop from having to go to the scratch drive, and when it must it's going to be painfully slow no matter what hardware you have.  This is based on the theory that RAM access is orders of magnitude faster than disk (even SSD) and the observation that Photoshop sometimes writes horrendously large datasets to the scratch drive.
    You're doing the right thing, going to 16 GB (24 GB might even be better).  I have 16 GB and for all "normal" work I find Photoshop to be very fast and not go virtual, even after long editing sessions.  In testing, however, I've been able to force Photoshop to go virtual by doing things like:
    1.  Processing a 1 gigapixel image (e.g., 32767 x 32767 pixels).
    2.  Stitching fairly huge (substantial portion of a gigapixel when finished) panoramas.
    In my case I've chosen to use a single mechanical 1 TB hard drive for scratch, and I've watched Photoshop in case 2 above (panos) actually write more than 200 gigabytes of data to the drive.
    I recommend paying a bit more for top quality enterprise class disk drives (e.g., Western Digital RE4), instead of consumer models.  They're fast, are built for hard use and much higher reliability, and have additional features (like vibration reduction).
    Also keep in mind that a RAID setup effecitvely adds the on-drive RAM caches together, so for example a RAID 0 C: drive, made from 2 RE4 drives each of which sports 64 MB on-drive cache) now delivers 2 x SATA 2 transfer rates with 128 MB on-drive cache.  This, along with enabling of Windows 7's highest throughput caching (which is not on by default) means that drive C: access will always be surprisingly quick.
    FYI, I recently purchased a powerful dual quad core workstation that implements the above on the cheap...   I've described how in these threads.  Depending on your budget, possibly worth considering in lieu of a new build...

  • How do I upload songs onto my new computer from external hard drive

    Hello!  I purchased a new computer and I am trying to upload my Itunes libraries onto it.  I was able to download all the files/songs/apps from my old winodws XP computer to an external hardrive.  I can open the exterenal hard drive on the new computer (Windows 7) but I do not know how to upload all info on the hard-drive into Itunes.  I found a way to click one folder at a time an upload one song at a time but that would require 4 or 5 clicks per song and it would take forever to do it this way.  Is there a way to transfer everything (files/folders/playlists/apps etc) all at one time?  I have reaad posts about authorizing new computers etc but have no idea what that means or how to do it.  I am new to Itunes so if you could walk me through the steps I would appreciate it greatly.  I have 5 Iipods sharing music on one computer so I really don't want to have to start my library from scratch.  Thank you for your help. 

    Normally all you need do is copy the entire iTunes folder from the music folder in your profile on the old computer into the music folder in your profile on the new one. If the library and media folders were split into separate locations then it is much the same, but the media folder should be restored to the same absolute path it previously occupied.
