Re Install Illustrator on a new Leopard Disk

I have two hard drives one with Tiger which I use every day and one, which I have just installed Leopard on, and which I didn't transfer the apps to but just my personal settings. I use Photoshop Illustrator, Bridge and After Effects. The disks are both on the same computer Tiger in bay 1 and Leopard in Bay 4.
I tried to re-install Illustrator but it comes up with an error. It advises calling Adobe customer support but I thought I'd ask here.
Do I have to de activate it on the Tiger disk before I re install on the Leopard disc or have some install files come over when I migrated that are messing up a re install.
I do like to have both disks on the go as I test out Leopard and find out whether it's ok to move to full time. It's not as if I am using them on other computers, it's the same machine.
I do have a G5 with the apps installed on there. This is my second installation allowed in the license agreement
Any help would be greatly appreciated
All the best
Rich

I guess you could look at it that way. But it's on the same machine, I can't use the Tiger disc at the same time as I use the Leopard disc can I. All I am trying to do is upgrade my Tiger disc to Leopard and my way of doing it is to duplicate my system so if things go pear shaped I can always go back. Adobe doesn't allow me to do this and I am cross about it. With the money I pay and have paid over the years, I expect a little more respect, rather than the contempt Adobe dishes out to their customers.
So I assume the only way to do this is to uninstall on the Tiger disc and then re install to the Leopard one.

    Old computer died and I am trying to install Illustrator CS5 on new computer.
    Last version I had before CS5 was/is Illustrator 10,which has been installed on new computer.
    CS5 install says I need CS2,3 or 4 before installing 5, but old computer went directly from 10 to CS5.
    How can I repeat this 10 to CS5 install?

    It does not seem likely that CS6 was upgraded from version 10.  You might want to check your purchase history in your Adobe account to see if there is some missing link in the chain of purchases you made.
    You can always try contacting Adobe support thru chat to see if they can find information or otherwise assist you in this matter.

  • Installing FF to a new hard disk, how to transfer passwords from the old installation?

    I have FF installed to Win2k on a hard disk. I have installed Win7 on a new hard disk and I want to move passwords from the old installation to the new one.
    It would be great if I could move all the links I get when I click the http://........ field also.

    You can retrieve these from your old Profile. See [[Profiles]] which explains what they contain, and [[Managing Profiles]] for an explanation of how to move your data to the new profile.

  • New Leopard Disk Arrived, Failed Disk Integrity

    I just wanted to post my recent experience with my Leopard install attempt. I bought my iMac back in about June, so it's relatively new.
    Received Leopard today, 01/19/08 and put the DVD in. I removed all USB connections besides mouse and keyboard prior to install. During the install, I chose the optional Archive and Install, keep user preferences.
    The next step was the disk integrity check. This checked failed about 70% of the way through, and prompted me to restart to try install again after verifying the disk was clean of debris/scratches. I did notice a scratch, but it didn't look that bad. I restarted the install, this time skipping the disk integrity check, and attempted to continue installation. With 23 minutes left of install, install failed on "EpsonPrinterDrivers" package, and asked me to restart install again. I cleaned the disk this time, though the scratch remained. I attempted the install again, and still got the same Epson error with 23 minutes remaining.
    I contacted Apple Customer Care, and was on hold for about 10 minutes. I explained to support that I initially received the Disk Integrity failed message. He immediately said it is a bad disk. He said to please hold while he prepares to dispatch a new disk to me.
    He returned from hold, and said the new disk is on the way and to allow 5 business days. I asked if I could just go to my local Apple Store Retail to exchange it, but he said that once I arrived at the store, they would just put me on the phone with Apple Customer Care, and have to wait for the arrival of the replacement like I am now.
    I asked what I was to do with this non-working disk, and he said to just keep it, as they don't want them back.
    Just thought I would share my experience for those who might encounter a similar issue.

    No answer needed.

  • Need to install clean OS on new hard disk for MacBook air

    I have just installed a new hard disk on my MacBook air. How do I format and install OS?
    What OS to install?
    How to format?
    The origin hard disk is dead!

    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

  • How can I install Illustrator on a new computer?

    I have a creative cloud membership for Illustrator.  I have it installed on 2 computers but got a new laptop.  I read that it needs to be uninstalled on one of the computers in order to put on a new one.  I uninstalled it but get a "sign in failed" message when I try to download on my new computer. It gives me the option to sign out of all other devices, but I want to stay signed in on one of the original installed devices. What do I need to do?

  • Installing Make Command without Snow Leopard disk

    I need to have the make command again, and it's not part of the default Snow Leopard install it seems. I've found solutions to re-acquire 'make' if I had the disk, but I no longer do.
    Can someone tell me how to get 'make' installed without the disk? Is there a download somewhere?

    Hi There
    Make along with GCC and other developer tools can be downloaded from http://developer.apple.com/ they all come bundled together in an install package with Xcode.
    Hope this helps

  • I purchased Illustrator on Ap 24, 2012 and would like to install it on a new computer... how do I do that?

    I need to know how to install illustrator on a new computer after installing it previously on another computer.

    Nina,
    Just install it as you did on the old computer, same serial number, same procedure.
    You can have it installed on two computers at the same time, but you may wish to deactivate and uninstall it on the old one if you have stopped using it, so you are free to install again.

  • Installing Windows without Leopard Disk

    Just wondering if there was any way I could install windows without the leopard disk. I'm at work right now and was hoping to install windows vista but my leopard disk is at home.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If you have a copy of Windows Vista with you, you can use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition and install Vista on it. The only point is you cannot install the necessary drivers at this time since you do not have the Leopard DVD.

  • Can't install Illustrator from Creative Suite (serial number not recognized)

    Years ago, I bought the first Creative Suite (upgrade). Illustrator was working fine on my old computer. Since then, I've upgraded Photoshop and Dreamweaver individually (I didn't upgrade Creative Suite).
    Now I need to install Illustrator on my new computer, but the installation fails:
    (1) I tried to install Illustrator separately (from the Illustrator setup.exe file on the disks) and I input the only serial number I have (which is for Creative Suite) and get a "this isn't an Illustrator serial number".
    (2) I tried to install Creative Suite but it prompts me for the location of Photoshop ... an OLDER version of Photoshop. I've got Photoshop CS5, but the installation correctly says that isn't an earlier version.
    I believe I purchased my first Photoshop in 1997-ish. Do I really have to start from the beginning and install EVERY VERSION of Photoshop that I ever bought/upgraded in order to install Illustrator from the CS upgrade disk?
    I tried looking for an Adobe phone number, but no joy.

    > Which versions of which software do you have exactly?
    Have, or installed?
    I have Photoshop LE, Photoshop 4.1 (I think it was -- the first version with layers), Photoshop 5.5, Photoshop 6, Creative Suite, Photoshop CS2, and Photoshop CS5.
    After I purchased Creative Suite, I just wanted to upgrade the individual programs rather than the whole Creative Suite. However, I believe I purchased upgrades all along the way.
    For Dreamweaver (though not the issue here), I started with the Macromedia programs, so the upgrade line started 'way back at Macromedia (and the installation of Adobe DW upgrades requires live tech support; unfortunately, as I can no longer find a phone number for Adobe, I guess I'd better hope nothing ever happens).
    Anyway, does that help? You can see why I don't want to reinstall all those versions just to install Illustrator.
    (And thanks for your help.)

  • I dont have my leopard disk, where can i find bootcamp drivers for vista?

    i just bought a used macbook pro. the man i bought it from didnt have his leopard disk. i installed vista 32 last night succesfuly but none of the features work because i dont have the leopard disk to download the oppropriate drivers. does anybody know where i can download the bootcamp drivers for vista 32 without having to buy the leopard disk?

    i just bought a used macbook pro. the man i bought it from didnt have his leopard disk.
    Hopefully, he gave you a $130 discount off the price, since you're going to have to buy a new Leopard disk. You should never have a machine without a system disk for it, since you'd be unable to recover without one if something went wrong. I don't know if you'll need it for those bootcamp drivers, but you will need it sooner or later.
    (Technically, what he did is illegal... if he didn't give you the disk, he should not have given you a machine with the system installed. You're also in a bad legal position, by using a system that you do not own a copy of.)
