PSE 11 WN Install DVD?

Howdy,
I insert my PSE 11 WN install DVD (WN 7 Pr0 64 OS).
Auto play window opens and I click on "open folder to view files".
Can't find a file with which to start or "run" the DVD so I may install PSE 11.
No help found in the box "getting started" pamphlet nor online at ADOBE.
What have I over looked?
Pete

Oops on my part. Inadvertently was trying to use the MAC OS DVD instead of the WN DVD.

PSE 12 installed halfway

Hello,
The first installation PSE 12 from DVD started and stopped in the middle, saying something like "shared devices not found".
I started windows again - same result. Now the installation-program tries to uninstall - and stopps, because uninstall is not complete.
So: somewhere are still files that have to be deleted manually? Or in the registry?
Or is it a problem that PSE10 is installed? Or my Internet-Security Bitdefender? I can turn the Internet-Security off: same result, tries to uninstall but cannot find PSE 12.
My environment: Win 7 prof.
Thanks for help.
Regards Ernst

Thank you,
"fix it" worked and I could try to install again PSE12. But again: it stoppes with the error "shared technologies". Okay, once again, "fix it" and this time a clean restart with windows, disabling most services. Same result.
Adobe Support Adviser did not help either.
Actual state: Photoshop Elements Editor is installed and works - except RAW-Format, there are no plug-ins installed.
Elements Organizer was not installed and cannot be installed without uninstalling the Editor - and starting the same procedure again....
There are just two things that I did not try:
a) open a new user account on win 7
b) copy the installation DVD on a harddisk for installing
Any suggestions or forget it and wait for PSE 13?
Thanks and Regards Ernst/Aschi Haas

Is it possible to boot to a Windows 7 install DVD from an external USB drive on current iMacs?

On the iMac I'm currently using, a mid-2007 24-inch, it's impossible to boot into a Windows install DVD from an external drive: I can hold down option on boot, and all my hard drives come up, but if the Windows disc is in my external DVD drive, it won't show up. I'll soon be upgrading to a late 2012 iMac, and I'd like to be able to install Windows 7 for a boot camp partition. Since that iMac has no built in drive, I'd like to know if using an external DVD drive will work on that model. I'd like to do that, seems easier than messing around with disk images. But we'll see...

You can use an external optical drive to install Windows without any problem with a Late 2012 iMac.
The reason that you couldn't install Windows from an external optical drive on the 2007 iMac is that it has got an internal SuperDrive, so Apple only allows you to use it to install Windows on your iMac

Grey screen won't allow me to install Leopard from install DVD

I'm trying to do a fresh installation of Leopard on my Mac Pro. I have used the Leopard install DVD previously to install to this machine when Leopard was first released and I had no problem then. Now, the machine boots and I can hear it reading from the DVD. On screen is the apple sign and the rotating symbol underneath it. After a while I hear the hard disks power down and then up again and shortly after that, the screen fills with a dark screen from top to bottom and a message says that I need to restart the machine by holding down the power button. It never gets past that point. I can boot with no problem to the current installation on hard disk, but can't do a new installation.
I've tried this with all peripherals detached. I've even tried taking out all the hard disks just ot see what happens, and I get the same problem. I've verified/repaired the hard disks and also run a repair on the security rights. No success.
I have also tried the original Tiger install disk that came with the machine and that does the same thing, so I'm beginning to assume that this is some sort of hardware issue. I've checked the console logs, and the last thing that seems to be there is a message saying:
14/04/2009 09:55:41 [0x0-0x1e01e].com.apple.systempreferences[230] Could not interpret boot device as either network or disk
The hardware diagnostics tests report no problems.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

Where can I get an eMac install DVD from?

I've just been given an eMac that was destined for the skip. It came with no install DVD's and the administrator password is unknown. Whoever cleaned it out before parting company with it put in an administrators name as "apple" but didn't clear the password which is asked for in order to make changes & take over the computer. I wanted it as a spare & to play old games on that I can't bear to part with since getting my MacBook Pro intel i5 laptop (now updated with OS 10.7 Lion on it.) I've done a bit of research to try to find how to 'hack' into the system and change the administrator password but it seems I need the install disk to do a clean install again. As this eMac is running Mac OS 10.4 I should be able to wirelessly connect it to my established system once I gain control of it & use it as storage/back up etc. I'd be grateful for any suggestions of either where I can get a disk from or how to change the root password. Is there anyone out there who can help? I'm not a very techy pro though have had macs for many years so know my way around one fairly well. Thanks

It will be difficult to find the original Install/Restore disc, and then it may have an OS lower than Tiger 10.4
Here's severtal methods to reset the password without the install disc:
1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
2. wait for terminal show
3. release keys
4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
5. press enter
6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
7. press enter
8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
9. press enter
This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
   1. Reboot
   2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
   3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
          * mount -uw /
          * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
          * shutdown -h now
   4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!

Hi guys I'm really in need of some help. I have an IMac I3 for a while now I've been having a problem of my machine refusing it shut down , it goes to a blue screen with a spinning wheel but doesn't shut down. And now won't boot from install DvD

Please some one help me ...
A) my mac won't shut down with external HD connected (if it's been used)
B) there are disk permissions that can't be fixed SUID stuff ..
C) I have now verified the Mac HD and it tells me it's corrupt in bold red writing and to start up from install DVD
D) it won't boot from DVD so I cannot run the repair , initially the machine was spitting it out on start up , now it appears to be attempting to boot off DVD , well it sounds like it is .... BUT it's hanging with the Mac Logo and a wheel ... For um .... 30min now...
E) weirdly when OSX is booted off the hard drive , it won't recognise the Install DvD or the applications one... It just spits them out....
I had an old PPC 17" and it was a beaut .... Never had a single problem with it ...
I bought this one December 2010 and it's been nothing but issues for a computer in excess of £1000 I'm extremely disappointed ... And weirdly the shutting down issue started when it was a week out of warrantee ... I feel conned and am almost at the point of throwing it at a wall and buying a PC

Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
It says ;
Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
Continuing...
And stops ...
Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

If I do a clean install on my MacBook Pro will I be able to re-install apps (FCP, Aperture, MS Office etc.) from a Time Machine backup, or will I need the original install DVDs with authorization codes?

I have two questions...
1) If I do a clean install on my MacBook Pro will I be able to re-install apps (FCP, Aperture, MS Office etc.) from a Time Machine backup, or will I need the original install DVDs with authorization codes? (because I don't have them)
2) Has anyone ever seen anything like this before on their computers?
The Apple Genius' were stumped by my laptop issues and said they'd never seen anything like it before and recommended I did a clean install. Below you can see my trash bin, and if you look at the "Empty" button it reads "N201" and then there's the "N39" to the left of it. You can also see these numbers over by the folder area--"SD5, SD6, SD7." But that's not all...
When I right click on items I see the numbers again. Instead of "Open with" I get "N152" and there's an "N35" and "LB1" towards the bottom.
I have no idea what's going on so I'm just going to do a clean install on my machine but I don't want to lose my apps. I don't have the original install DVDs for them anymore. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks!

You don't lose them. You can always redownload them from the app store after you log back in with your Apple ID.
"Buy, download, and even redownload.
You can install apps on every Mac you use and even download them again. This is especially convenient when you buy a new Mac and want to load it with apps you already own."

Is it possible to make a copy of the Leopard install DVD?

Is it possible to make a copy of the Leopard install DVD? If so, is there a special way this has to be done? I just found out that we needed to use the Leopard install DVD to recover a complete backup from Time Machine after a recent hard drive failure. We have the family pack of Leopard, so I would like to keep the original at home and send a copy when my daughter goes off to college in case she needs to recover again. Her machine was originally a Tiger MacBook, so those install disks will not work. If it is not possible to copy the DVD, is there a way to create a bootable utility to do a time machine recovery?

This half-solved my problem. I have had no problems creating a backup copy for my intel based computers, but non-intel based computers are problematic; a G5 powermac tower and a G4 Powerbook. Both with super drives for single density burning. Both have Leopard running, installed from an install disc purchased from Apple. However, neither will mount the copy, but intel based computers will. have burnt/burned with both toast 9 and Disc Utility. Discs won't mount and are "spit out" by the drive.

Install DVD number of uses?

I just received my Install DVD in the mail from Apple, as I just got the $10 upgrade as my MacBook is relatively new, and I was wondering, will it work to install it on more than just one Mac? I don't think its a family pack. Just wondering if I can put it on my other Mac as well, a G4.

You should not sell the disks that came with a Mac. They are used for more than installing software. They usually have diagnostics on them and they should be given with a machine that is sold or given as a gift. The money you got would not be worth it when you have a prolem that can only be solved by running the diagnostic on the original disks.

Backup of Leopard Install DVD with disk utility

I'm in the process of saving a disk image from the Leopard Install DVD, but I'd like to be sure I did it right by selecting the Leopard Install partition on the sidebar in Disk Utility, rather than the drive itself. I did so because when I tried it with the drive itself it offered a default name as the name of my dvd drive "Matshita" rather than anything specific to the disk.
I'd also like to be sure the windows drivers are there, so before I waste an hour burning and tossing the result, the question is do I select the drive or the partition to image?

Run the disk utility and select the disk and then select New Image. You will create and image on your desktop.
I used cdr rather than dmg.
I also used Toast8 to burn the image to a DVD
Be sure you are using a dual-layer DVD and your burner supports it.
I successfully burned a backup this way, and yes, it does contain the Windows drivers as well as Leopard.

How do I create a start-up disk image without restarting from the Install DVD?

(I know this is not MacBook Pro question per se, but I can't find a software discussion this applies to.)
Situation:
My MBP is running, but it's acting up and Onyx tells me that the start-up volume needs repair and directs me to use Disk Utility.
But to repair a volume using Disk Utility, you must restart from the original Install DVD (or some other start-up volume).
But although the MBP will read my old Leopard Install DVD and the Install DVD that came with my MBP, it refuses to restart from either of them. (Trying to do so gets as far as the Apple logo on a gray screen and then hangs there; all disk activity ceases.)
Question:
How can I (is it even possible to) create a start-up volume on my external FW drive without starting my MBP from a DVD?
In other words, is there a way to either:
a) create a disk image from the Install DVD on my external FW drive and then designate that disk image as my start-up drive?
OR
b) create a disk image on my MBP's internal drive that I can then use to run a System Install on my external drive?
(BTW, I know I can create disk images using Disk Utility, but it offers many options for type, compression, etc., that are beyond me. )
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

OS X Lion includes a new feature called Lion Recovery that includes all of the tools you need to reinstall Lion, repair your disk, and even restore from a Time Machine backup without the need for optical discs.
Restart your Mac holding down the Command-R to enter the Recovery HD.
From there you can use Disk Utilty.

How can I tell if an install DVD is a family pack or a single-user?

I'm now running Tiger, and want to install Leopard. I can't go to Snow Leopard because my processor is powerPC -- not Intel.
I have purchased a new Leopard install DVD from a seller on Ebay. I paid for a family pack. It does not say "family pack" anywhere on the package, which is sealed in clear plastic. I asked the seller why it didn't show "family pack" anywhere visible on the package. He "guaranteed" that it is a family pack, not a single user license.
I've looked at a family pack DVD for Tiger and for Snow Leopard. Both show "family pack" on the exterior of the package, but I don't see anything on the face of the DVD.
Is there anyway that I can confirm whether the seller is being truthful? If I open the package, and it doesn't show anything on the face of the DVD . . . . how can I tell if it really is a family pack?
Thanks for your help.

My Leopard came pre-installed, so I don't have a retail package to examine. However, doing a google image search for family packs, I couldn't find any obvious difference on the outside or inside between the two. Here, for example, is someone who says he bought a family pack and photos of the inside of the box including the DVD:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertnelson/2211524221/
Notice, no "family pack" to be seen anywhere.
The only difference, as I understand it, between the family pack and the single-user pack is the number of license you pay for. If you paid (a third-party) for a family pack license, then I feel you can in good conscience install the OS on up to five computers in your house or that otherwise meet the terms of use for a family pack. The OS will not seek out duplicate serial numbers on your network or anything like that (even single-user installs rely on the honor system) so you will be fine.

My Leopard install DVD is getting caught in a loop

I'm having a problem with my Leopard install DVD. I'm running Leopard 10.5.7, and I wanted to use Disk Utility, so I inserted the intall DVD, double clicked the icon, and pressed enter to restart using the disk.
What happened next was the computer restarted, gave me the chime, went to a gray screen with no apple logo or spinning gear, then restarted and looped this same sequence repeatedly. I've checked the surface of the install DVD and it seems undamaged, so my only conclusion is that something software related is happening. Anyone else run into this?
The install DVD is version 10.5.1.

Okay, so I used Disk Utility on the internal drive to verify and then repair permissions (long list). Then I attempted to verify the disk and got a message saying Disk First Aid Failed and the following info in the history: Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Performing live verification.
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking Extended Attributes file.

Checking volume information.
Invalid volume file count
(It should be 956726 instead of 956732)
Invalid volume directory count
(It should be 233009 instead of 233003)
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
After that, I put the install disk in and restarted holding the shift key. Got the gray screen for a long time (DVD seemed to be doing something), and then the computer restarted. This time I held down the option key, got the Startup Manager and selected the install disk. And away we went with the gray screen loop again. I let it try to restart from the install disk 6 times before holding down the eject button and ejecting the install disk which allowed the 'puter to boot from from the internal drive.
And that's where I stand.
