PSE6 and a new imac

(The imac is only 3 months old and yes with Snow Leopard newly installed a few days ago also...)
I just bought and received my copy of PSE6 tonight and have had no luck installing it.  It started out slowly (the progress bar seemed to be running through mud!) and when it got to about 90% done it just stopped.  To get to this point must have taken 20 minutes.  Did everyone else have such a long time installing this program?  I haven't installed all that many programs into my new imac but of the ones that I HAVE installed...none ever took more than a few minutes.
I finally stopped the process and removed the disc from my computer.  I want to try this again tomorrow when I get home from work but sure would like to know if it's me (I'm not exactly a newbie here, really!) or if its a compatibility issue.  Any and all help would be appreciated!
Yes, I tried this installation as Admin.  Also, this was not a download but from a disc.  I tried looking for help online through normal channels but I don't seem to have any luck finding anyone else with this problem.
Thanks in advance!
Randy

I purchased a new IMAC 24" in early August with OS X v 10.5.  I painlessly installed OS X 10.6 (SL) with no problems.  Once SL was successfully installed, I subsequently installed PSE6.  It also installed painlessly in less than 15 minutes.  I did get an error message ("application cannot be located") when attempting to install updates from a manual update check from within PSE6.  However, a friend encounters the same error when checking for PSE6 updates when running on OS X v 10.5, thus I would not conclude this as a SL issue, but rather maybe more general Adobe issue.  Good luck.

  • I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac.  Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

    I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac.  Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

    Yes you can copy the content to your new machine and use Home Sharing to keep the content identical
    Connect the two machines via an ethernet cable it is 3 times faster than Wifi. Turn wifi off on one machine to enforce ethernet connection
    In System Preferences, Sharing turn on File Sharing
    Then
    Copy the music/itunes folder from the Macbook pro to the music/ folder on the imac
    Both machines should now have the same library
    Disconnect H the ethernet cable
    Set up Home Sharing and under Settings at the bottom of the Home Sharing page. Select to transfer new purchases.
    Do the same on the other machine.
    Then when you r machines are connected by wifi and each time you start itunes it will transfer your new purchases

  • I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and a new imac. Could someone tell me where the preference is to have a file open in its original file format. Right now my illustrator eps are opening in preview.

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and a new Imac. Could someone tell me where the preference is to change file to open in original program instead of preview?

    Right-click on one of the files and choose 'get info'. in the info box. Change the 'open with' setting to your correct application. Check the 'always open with' option before OK-ing the change, then click the 'change all' button before closing the info window.

  • I am using migration assistant with my old MacBook and a new iMac but I'm just getting a swirling bar and spinning wheel. No signs of any progress after an hour. Drive is about 250 gbs.

    The old MacBook says "the other mac is ready" and the new iMac says "successfully connected to other Mac. They are connected via Ethernet. Shouldn't there be some sort of indication of progress?   It just looks like they're stuck.
    Thanks!

    You should also be able to access your docs (even without the Pages app on your iMac) by logging into iCloud.com and using the Pages for iCloud beta app via your browser.
    (By the way your iPad uses iOS and not OS X)

  • I am trying to transfer files from my MacBook Pro to my iMac using migration Assstance and they cannot find one another.  My MacBook Pro uses Migration Assistance 1.0.6 and my new iMac uses 10.5.3.  What can I do to allow sharing?

    How does one transfer Files from an old MacBook Pro to a new iMac?

    10.5.3 is at least part of the problem.  You need to apply the latest updates to that mac.
    See How do I set up a new Mac from an old one, its backups, or a PC?  Select the appropriate link and follow the instructions carefully.

  • How do I get my legitimate songs from iPod to iTunes? Old computer died and have new iMac but same apple id?!!

    HELP ME!    
    I won't lie, iTunes confuses the **** out of me. I thought I had it sussed though, clearly I was wrong...
    Okay, got a new iMac when my last pc finally died. Synced my ipod to it no worries at all, never lost a song. I assumed it was because I had home sharing or because I'd authorised my new computer using my old apple id?
    Now I have a problem though. This is the first time I've actually had a good look at what happens when I connect the ipod to itunes. It will let me add new music that I've burned from my cds. However, it won't let me save any of the previously burned music on this ipod to the itunes library, even though I used itunes and the same apple id to do it originally on my old pc. I want to do this so I can transfer some of the music to my iphone which has less memory (we have an ipod playlist and iphone playlist because of the memory available).
    Is there a setting I've got wrong or is this because itunes legitimately believes I'm trying to infringe a copyright? I thought my apple id would mean they knew everything I'd done under that id before? Do I have to burn the cds all over again?
    Pls ask me to clarify anything if I've not provided the right info.
    Thanks

    A lot of content is available to down load from the purchased are of Itunes Store on all devices and computers.
    If you do not use iTunes Match, I don't then the computer is your source of your own non purcased content. This you can share with 5 Computers and 5 Devices.
    That is why it is important to keep a backup of this data so it can be restored to that computer or mover to a new one and you can resync it to your devices

  • Buy Leopard vs Tiger for IMAC G 5 or simple give in and buy new IMac??

    After reviewing this topic, I am still confused as to what to do. The Leopard OS looks complicated to load and I am not at all savy about Mac's and trouble shooting problems!! Is the Tiger a better way to go for a simple Mac user like me? I am even thinking about a new IMac with updated software and Leopard. My IMac works great but the Panther OS and ILife are probably getting outdated (but still meets all my needs still, though Turbo Tax will now not run on it.). Any suggestions or advice? Dazed and confused!

    Hi Stephen,
    I agree with MGW that you seem to be looking for confirmation or approval that it would be a good idea to buy a new Mac. I have a feeling that if you install Leopard into your old Mac, it may run slower that on a stronger Mac which would have more RAM and power. Leopard would also take up more space from your current 80 HD. Furthermore, by purchasing a new iMac, you will be able to benefit from a SuperDrive instead of a ComboDrive, a bigger HD, and more RAM can't hurt.
    Anyway, I'm cheering for you! Good luck with your decision! I never regretted my move from an old Quick Silver G4 tower (CD-R) to my current MacPro. It took me many years to get the courage and the money to finally go for it and NO REGRETS!
    Best wishes...
    Rio.

  • Resolution Problems with 30-inch Apple Display and my new iMac

    I'm not very good at computers, so I could use some help. I just bought a new iMac 24-inch, 3.06 Duo and I have an Apple 30-inch display I had connected to my MacBook Pro. Now I can't get a resolution better than 1280x800 and the cinema screen flickers a bit. I bought a mini-DVI to Dvi Adaptor. What else am I doing wrong? The display is enormous on the cinema display and I need to use that for my photography. Help anyone, please?

    i'm not sure if you area sking this... but it seems like the info about the iMac is not to do with the problem, but your problem is with the 30 inch screen and the macbookPro?
    If you are asking about a macbookPro plugging into the 30 inch screen, these should be able to run full resolution from what i remember,
    you need to check that you are NOT trying to run mirrored desktop as this will limit the resolution to the maximum possible of the smaller display (your macbookpro) which will mean you can only go up to 1280x800 but if you uncheck the 'mirror display' option you should be able to set independent settings for each screen.

  • Two ipods and a new iMac

    Hi,
    I have two iPods: an older 40-gig click wheel and a newer 80-gig video iPod. I just got an iMac running OSX. I'd like to transfer all the music from my 40-gig iPod and some of the video from my 80-gig iPod to the library in iTunes on my iMac. Is this possible? If it is, what's the easiest way?
    Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

    iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):

    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

  • Why does MS Word 14.2.3 run so slow on MacBook Pro and brand new iMac?

    Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, MS Word runs very slowly on both my 2007 MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM and a brand new iMac with 16GB RAM.
    I have trimmed fonts  in the systems and removed font conflicts and duplicates.
    Keyboard entries are delayed by seconds and typing a document becomes a nightmare.
    Any suggestions?
    I have repaired permissions and verified both disks.
    Also run Cocktail to clean out junk files. Still no luck.

    Word is up to version 14.3.1. Try updating and see if that helps. The newest version may be more ML friendly. I certainly have no complaints about the speed of MS Word.
    p.s. Just checked for updates - there is now a 14.3.2 version.

    Does the LED Cinema Display (27-Inch) work with the new iMac (late 2012) as a second monitor, and if so, which cable do I need?

    It will work.  Plug its Mini DisplayPort plug into the computer's Thunderbolt port.  No adapters needed.

  • My time machine backup was created on iMac with Mountain Lion and my new iMac has Mavericks installed, will I be able to restore a backup from time machine to new imac and all applications work ok

    time machine backup to new iMac

    Yes, however it's always wise to update your apps to ensure you have the most up-to-date version. Use Setup Assistant to migrate your data, apps and settings to the new iMac, simply follow the on-screen directions. If the new machine has already arrived and you have already run Setup Assistant, connect the TM backup to the new machine and run Migration Assistant (a cousin of Setup Assistant) and follow the on-screen directions. You can find Migration Assistant in Applications - Utilities - Migrations Assistant or you can use the keyboard shortcut of Command + Spacebar and type "Migration Assistant".

  • ARD 2 and Brand New iMac

    I just received my brand new iMac in my classroom. I used a copy of Remote Desktop that I had from my previous machine. I installed ARD 2 and now the computer will no longer boot up. I am stuck at a white (grayish) screen and can't do anything. Any advice?

  • Final Cut and the New iMac

    Does anyone know how well Final Cut will work on the dual core iMac? I can't afford the Power Mac and I am hoping to hear that the new iMac will run Final just fine. How much extra RAM should I get?
    Am I right or just hopeful?

    I am sure that you know what I mean David and Patrick even though your attitude, should it happen to you, would probably be more sanguine.
    I suspect that you, like me, could write a cheque for any amount and never notice it. Many Mac users though are students or otherwise on low budgets and the purchase of a computer is probably their largest expense after a house and car.
    When I bought one of my cars three years ago it was due to be "upgraded" in six months and I was given a 25% discount. I realise that cars and computers are completely different but this analogy is as pertinent as Patrick's wheel trims.
    The ethical thing to do would be to announce the new model a couple of months before it was due and in the interim sell off the outgoing models with either a 10% discount or something free thrown in as a sweetener.
    Apple would have lost a little cash in the short term but the goodwill engendered would have accounted for much higher profits in the future.
    Anyway, it's obvious that we hold differing opinions and will never completely agree on this one.
    Ian.
