Reinstall after new hard drive

I tried to open CS5 and get the message that I have uninstall adobe and reinstall - error message 6. When I go to the uninstall adobe folder and click on in it it tells me "The alias “Uninstall Adobe Photoshop CS5” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found."
I tried to drag across the original uninstall folder from the disc but when I did so got the message 'do you want to replace a more updated version alreadly on your computer?"
Help I'm completely confused and braindead with a baby

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

I reinstalled a new Hard Drive but cannot get the DVD tray to open to install the Mac OS? How do I open the Tray?

I reinstall a new Hard drive. But I cannot open the DVD tray to install the OS? All I get the the ? in the folder when the computer turns on?

Hi copa1226:
Sometimes the best solutions are the manual ones. There is a mechanical fail safe built in to these devices, I have had to use this method several times myself, so ....
..... Try this:
1) Power off your mac pro.
2) With your finger, pull down the metal bezel on the affected drive.
3) You should now see the front plastic bezel on the affected drive, it is usually black or grey.
4) Look for a small pinhole somewhere on the front. It will have a very small diameter, about 0.5mm.
5) Yes it's there, all cd/dvd drives have one! Note: a small flashlight comes in handy here.
6) Straighten out a standard paperclip for about 2 -3 inches.
7) Insert the paperclip in the small hole and push, you will have some resistance, and then the drive tray will slowly push out about 0.5 inches or more.
8) Grab the tray and pull it out !!
9) You are done!
10) If you do this gently you won't hurt the drive. Boot up and the tray should automatically slide back in. You are good to go.

How to reinstall Microsoft Office for Mac after new hard drive?

Recently I had a problem with my Macbook Pro, and unfortunately had to purchase a new hard drive and have it installed. This also led to the loss of data and other things, such as Microsoft Office for Mac. I know this is an Apple community, but I get better answers here than at the Microsoft communities so I'm hoping someone can help find out how to reinstall Microsoft Office 2013. I logged onto my Microsft account and it says that there is no record of me purchasing Microsoft Office on that account but I know thats the account that it was purchased on, so i cannot get my product key to reinstall it as directed. Someone please help!!!!

Try calling MS support and explaining the situation, maybe they will issue a new key.

Need help with Macbook reinstall on new hard drive!

Hey Everyone!
So my old MacBook A1181 was damaged a bit in a fall from a shelf. I followed all the directions on PowermacMedic (bless them!) and put in a new LCD screen, as the old one was cracked. Cleaned a lot of cat hair out of machine while I was at it.
I also replaced the hard drive with a new one, because the old one had a question-mark-over-a-folder icon. I'm very proud of myself, as there are only four screws left over. LOL!
So now it's time to reinstall the Tiger system. The optical drive is not working, so I researched on how to make an external hard drive bootable, put the Tiger Installation on that and connected it via FireWire to the old MacBook.
Turned it on and pressed Alt/Option at the same time. Great...up popped the Tiger Installation information. I've clicked on Install, etc., and am at the point where I need to choose a destination drive. Except there is none listed.
I've gone to Disk Utility, and I can see the new drive there, but just the icon as the major piece of hardware...there's no sub-icon for it underneath, like there usually is.
So, any ideas on how to make my new hard drive readable so I can choose it from the Tiger Installer?
Any help would be much appreciated. I've never even attempted to do something like this before, and I don't want to give up just yet!
Jenny

Do this:
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. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. 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 Options 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.
After the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X.

Restoring data after new hard drive installed

I just got my MacBook Pro laptop back from Best Buy after having a new hard drive installed. I did not have them restore my files, as I have backed up files on my external hard drive- WD My Passport for Mac. I never originally did anything to the external drive in terms of setting it up, partitioning it, or anything. I just plugged it into my laptop and assumed it was doing the backing up. Also, now that I have my laptop back, I wanted to see if the external hard drive did what I hoped it was doing- backing up my files. I have have now plugged My Passport in hoping to restore my laptop and have discovered that I can't open some files from my iWorks files, as it appears that I may now have to reinstall that app. I guess I was assuming this app would have been saved to My Passport. In order to fully restore my files myself (trying to be more computer independent) what should I do? I have been reading some of the other questions people have asked that seem to be related to what I'm trying to do and read about partitioning My Passport. Should I go in now and make the one partition under the Volume Scheme on My Passport and then switch the name and the partition scheme from Apple Partition Map to GUID Partition Table? The message I'm getting is telling me that partitioning this disk in this way will delete all the data on this disk, so I cancelled and reset everything back the way it was, concerned I would lose all my data. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can download iWorks from the App Store. Since you purchased it previously it should be a free download.
Repartitioning or reformatting a disk will erase all the data on it.
If you are already testing your iWork files it sounds like you have restored or can restore the files. Other than iWorks, what did not get restored?

IMac taking long time to boot after new hard drive installed. Help?

I recently had a new hard drive installed on my iMac (running Snow Leopard). After the intall all was well, but I couldn't get my screensaver to work. Erroneously thinking it was missing, I reinstalled it and ended up with two screen saver folders in the system files. Now when I turn on the Mac, I get a white screen for several seconds (close to a minute) before the system shows me the Apple logo and then boots. I'm concerned about this. Did my copying the screen saver cause the problem? Should I reinstall my system software? I was planning to upgrade to Mountain Lion anyway. Will that fix the problem? Any suggestions appreciated.

Restart in Safe Boot Mode (hold the left Shift key as soon as you restart your computer and hold it until the Apple logo appears). Once it gets to the desktop you can restart normally. Safe Mode serves a number of purposes and one of them is to delete/trim temporary files that might be causing boot problems. There's no guarantee this will improve your startup time but it will do no harm and I have seen computers restart more quickly after a Safe Boot.

Upgrading hard drive... need help on how to prepare current CS6 for reinstall on new hard drive

I'm about to upgrade my hard drive to a larger one and will need to reinstall my CS6 Web/Design Suite... I've seen many people having issues with activation and licensing after they reformat their computers or buy a new one and try to install the programs on the new "system". How should I go about preparing my Adobe software on the current hard drive so I won't have any issues resintalling on the new hard drive? I will be installing CS6 Student/Teacher version on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit...
Thanks for the help!

Thanks!
I wondered if that was all I needed, but when I built my new system and installed PS CS4 I kept getting errors. So, I went back to the old system and deactivated it and still got errors. Uninstalled it deactivated and still got errors on the new system. When I talked to Adobe they just kept telling me the key was invalid (even though I had been running that same program and key for the last 4 years without problems lol) and it was not a burnt copy or pirated. I had the orginal box with the original DVD case and serial number on the case... A friend of mine had upgraded their rig and went to a Suite so he gave me his CS4. But, needless to say (as it is said all over these forums apparently) Adobe was of no help at all so I had to buy a new version. I'm not looking to go through all of that BS again, haha.
So as long as I deactivate the Suite (or do I need to deactivate each program separately?) I should be able to reformat (or upgrade hard drives) and reinstall CS6 as many times as I want? (I usually do a reformat like once a year to keep my computers clean and free of junk that may have been downloaded by other household members...)

OS X Lion Version 10.7.5 and after new hard drive I have lost iPhoto, iMovie, etc.

I have the OS X Lion version 10.7.5 and after a new hard drive I have lost iPhoto, iMovie, Garage Band etc. I have tried the re-install of the OS X Lion and checking the app store under 'purchases' but none of these options were successful.
When I click on iPhoto in the App Store, it says that it cannot update because version 10.9 is required (I tried to transfer iPhoto from my brothers computer but he has a newer laptop which means I cant open it whcih is why it says 'update' but have deleted it now). When I go to iMovie on the App Store, it says I need to pay but the only reason I dont want to do that is that it origionally came on the computer and after paying Apple to install a new hard drive I dont want to have to pay for all the apps that origionally come on it.
Can someone please help

Then you will need the Original System Reinstall DVD discs that came with the system to reinstall the iLife suite of apps then you can update them from the Mac app store or through Software Update.
Those discs came in the box the computer came in. Hopefully you still have the box and those discs.

How to restore music on computer after new hard drive installed?

had new hard drive installed and am not able to retrieve/find music that was backed up on my computer before new hard drive was installed. Only music that was in the "cloud" was able to be retrieved. Any idea where it could be?
Thanks!

Did you reinstalled iTunes ? It looks like you had a newer version of iTunes with the corresponding database, and now your iTunes seem to be an older version. If you are a little patient, you might easily fix this with iTunes 10.5 which should come out very very soon since iOS 5 has been annonced for tomorrow.

System restore on DV6 not working after new hard drive installed (Vista 32-bit)

Hi there,
I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment laptop (DV6 1210sa) and recently on start up I have been receiving a message saying that the hard drive is at imminent risk of failure. I therefore burned the restore CDs and bought a new hard drive: (A Toshiba 2.5 inch 80gb SATA hard drive 5400 RPM). The first part of the restore completes successfully then the HP screen appears after a restart and then goes to install windows, but before this begins I receive a message saying “Windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer.” I then have to restart and get the same message. Is this drive somehow incompatible? Is there something I’m missing?
Thanks in advance

Here are the factory specs for your HP Pavilion dv6-1210sa Entertainment Notebook Computer. Based on the specs, the original hard drive was 250GB. This could be a factor in your issue. It could also be that the drive is an advanced format (AF) drive. Please provide the model of the drive for our review.
Please send KUDOs

After new hard drive, Leopard installed, cannot log in - Help Please!

The local Apple store installed a new hard drive and Leopard on my G5 desktop yesterday. I attempted to restore my applications and documents, using Time Machine from my external G-Drive but am getting the message "you may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item (Turbo Tax Premier 2007)". I also tried to install the application iWork which I purchased and it too would not let me because it was asking for a password. I typed my old password and user name that I had given to the Apple store (they asked me for it) but it was not accepted or recognized. Should I return to the Apple store and let them do this for me, or is there a reason my password and user name is not being recognized? Also, I do not have the Leopard DVD that they installed from to make any changes or reset the password (I have the original Leopard that I purchased when it became available but hesitate to use it since it caused my Mail App to become corupt which was the reason I went to the Apple Store in the first place as my other Leopard applications and system seemed to be working ok - but when they attempted to reinstall the OS, that's when they called me and said I needed a new hard drive since the attempted installation failed.) Sorry about rambling on, but wanted to give you as much info as possible about my situation and would appreciate any suggestions and help.
Will I have to reinstall all my applications such as Quicken, TurboTax, iLife, ect or should they be restored from my G-Drive? I'm worried about loosing my "documents" as they were created using the older "Appleworks" application; that's why I purchased iWork, to transfer them to.
Thanks again.
Charles

Just thought I'd refresh my recent post to see if any of you current viewers might have a suggestion as how to fix my problem with the "log in". I really appreciate any ideas on this subject.
Thanks,

Time Capsule after new hard drive installed.

I am new to this and consider myself a novice Mac person.
I just installed a 500gb Seagate hard drive and reinstalled my MAC OS on my Macbook.
I restored my old info onto the new hard-drive.
Do I need to reset the time capsule to do back-ups?
Will it automatically back-up wirelessly off the new hard-drive?
Should I reset the time capsule?

If you used Time Machine to restore your entire system, you shouldn't have to do anything special.
If not, you might have to set TM up again.
But do be aware that the first backup will be a full one, since everything on your new drive is +*new to that drive.+*
If there isn't enough room on your TC for a new, full backup, you might consider either erasing the TC's internal disk or deleting the sparse bundle. Otherwise, it will take Time Machine a very long time to make room.
I'd strongly advise you to connect to the TC via an Ethernet cable until the first backup is done; it will be much faster than WIFI.
