Reinstall apps on new mac

Being new to apple, having purchased my iMac the other day, I foolishly did not uptick the box for having the login via the cloud, then compounded it
by allowing the system to autofilll the passwords, I could not find them again and after many hours going mad formatted the hard drive and reinstalled Yosemite.
Obviously the apps (iPhoto,iMovie,Garage Band, Pages,Numbers and Keynote have gone is there anyway I can download these from Apple fox or do I have to pay for them after paying a small fortune for the system

A new Mac comes with 90 days of free tech support from AppleCare.

Best.

I bought a Mac PowerBook in 2008. It came with InDesign CS3. I did not use it. My computer was stolen in 2014. I had backed up the hard drive. I reinstalled on my new Mac laptop. I want to use the CS3 now. It will not download or install. What do I do?

Reinstall OSX on New Mac Pro

Hi,
I have a new Mac Pro and I want to rebuild it. I have a bootable USB Key that I made with the 10.9 installer from the App Store. This installer works as a bootable image for the old Mac Pro's and for MacBook pro's, but I can't get a new Mac Pro to boot from it. I think the issue might be that it is a different 10.9 revision that the new Mac Pro requires. Has anyone successfully done this yet on the new Mac Pro?
Thanks
Dave

You would need to do a full Internet Recovery like so:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. 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. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

Reinstalling CS4 on new mac

Hi, I am having several problems reinstalling CS4 Design premium on my new mac with Mountain Lion. Time machine backup reinstall didnt work I kept getting licensing no longer works 150:30 error. So I contacted Adobe and they told me I had to reinstall from the original disks which I tried to do. However, I keep getting a Adobe Air error where it prompts me to download the new version and then the installation hangs and it tells me this version is not compatible with CS4 and I have to contact the vendor to get an older version.
I went back to Adobe and they sent me Air2.7 which has now helped - although I still get the error it comepletes some installation. I now have dreamweaver and acrobat pro working. However, I would really like to get flash and fireworks working. However, when I try and install on the setup menu I cannot scroll down the setup menu and cannot view any of the lower options in the menu. It just won't let me view them cannot tab or arrow down and no scroll bar - Any ideas ?
I have also tried uninstalling everyything and doing a full reinstall - running clean up tool in between but then I have the air problem again ! It seems if I have air installed already I go to a different setup menu screen where I have to choose which options I want to install and am unable to choose anything lower down the menu and there is no choose all option.
Any ideas how to get CS4 installed on a Mac with mountain lion successfully ? Any ideas how to view the whole of the setup menu - no option to pull the box bigger on maximise it as far as I can see.
Thanks

Franniehhk the behavior you are currently experiencing is fully expected when trying to restore from a Time Machine backup. To attempt to recover from this action you can try running the uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers followed by using the CS Cleaner tool. From your original post it appears you have already done this however.
This leaves one last option. Format, reinstall your OS, and then restore only your documents and settings from the Time Machine back up. You should then be able to install the software successfully from your installation files.
Adobe Creative applications are not designed to be copied from one computer to another which is basically what the Time Machine restore is doing. This is why the applications are not behaving properly on your new Macintosh.

Need to reinstall OS on new Mac Book air

I purchased a new mac book air and migration assistant overwrote the whole hard drive. I want to red o migration assistant and select only some applications. How do i reinstall mavericks and all the applications to the original state? Computer came with no disks??

What you are trying to do is erase the storage and reinstall Mac OS X. To do that, restart the MBA and hold the Command and R keys. That will restart you on the recovery hard drive partition, what Apple now uses instead of an install DVD.
From the menu bar, select Utilities, then Disk Utility. Highlight the internal storage name in the left side bar, usually Macintosh HD, and then select Erase in the button bar top center of the main window pane.
After the storage is erased, Quit Disk Utility and from the Utilities on the menu bar select Install Mac OS X. That will download the Mavericks installer and reinstall the operating system. This will take some time as the installer is about 5.1 GB...you need a good internet connection because this is downloaded from Apple's servers. Also, be sure you are plugged into a wall outlet and not running on battery power. You do not want the machine to shutdown during this.
After you have reinstalled, you are at the out-of-the-box form of the MBA and will have to resetup all of your information from scratch.

Did i need to reinstall os to new MAC?

some one tell me new MAC os is clone software..not stable
and he tell me i need to reinstall os X to new MAC
then the new MAC will become stable ??
SO??did i need to do that?

Hi chill2k;
It has been my experience that the factory install of the operating system by Apple is generally good and it is an extremely rare occurrence when a reinstall is required.
Anyone that will not accept that fact doesn't deserve to had time wasted on them. Forget about them. There is better things to do in this life.

How do I deactivate my existing photoshop on an old mac and reinstall into my new Mac?

how do I deactivate photoshop cs% from my old Mac and reinstall it into my new Mac? thanks! guy

You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines so there is no requirement to deactivate on the old one... but you can.
If you do not have the discs for CS5 and need to download it, then you can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

How to copy apps to new Mac Pro?

Is there an easy way to copy the applications from my G4 to my new Mac Pro? It would be nice if at least some of them can be moved over along with the user licenses.

If they are Universal Binary and can be just dragged to /Applications you are probably fine, but if they use an installer, then only migrate your home account folder and install fresh. Good to collect and keep all your software downloads and updates in one place.
PPC and Intel are different operating systems and support libraries, at least with Tiger, and can cause anything from sluggish weird performance to downright nasty.

How do I install apps on new mac laptop

Just purchased a MacBook Air. I do not know how to transfer my Apps onto my Mac. Help?

There is no officially supported way to install apps without using the AppStore. This is the way the iPhone is designed to work.
If that does not work for you or whomever will be using the device, then maybe an iPhone is not the right solution for that person.

Cannot launch any Studio 8 apps on new Mac

I've just migrated from my old Mac Powerbook to a new MacBook
Pro (intel based) and have discovered that I cannot even launch any
of my Macromedia Studio 8 apps. I might see them appear in the dock
for a second after clicking to launch them, but that's it - no
error messages or anything else. I've just downloaded the latest
updater for Dreamweaver to see if that would resolve my problems,
but it does exactly the same thing. I've also just tried to
reinstall Studio 8 from the original disks - ditto.
According to Adobe's info about intel-based Macs these apps
should work, even if slowly. Probably not all that relevant, but
all of my Adobe CS apps seem fine after transferring the activation
over (other than Version Cue, as expected).
I urgently need to resolve this. Any help or points in the
right direction would be very much appreciated.

Hi,
I am having the same problem on my intel mac-mini. I was
wondering if you had got it sorted?

Reinstalling apps from the mac app store?

I am having a terrible time loading xcode 4.1
It fails everytime and when I visit the app store it says "installed"
I would love to re down load it.
Worked fine until Lion

Hi Winston,
I've also made a copy of the Applications, Library, System and Users folders from the first drive to a third internal drive, just in case.
The Mac App Store is probably seeing the Apps on your 3rd Drive hence they are already installed.
In addition I have some iWork and iLife apps that came from a disc and not the Mac App store, I understand instead of reinstalling from the discs I can download them from the Mac App store, can you tell me how I do this please.
The other Apps from the disc will have to be purchased from MAS if you want them linked to the store. Apps installed from discs aren't recognized by MAS. Hope this helps.

Remove iLife Apps from New Mac Hardware with OSX 10.8

I have a new iMac that came preinstalled with OSX 10.8 and the Macintosh iLife apps (iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand). I do not want the iLife apps as I do not use them but there no longer seems to be a way to clean install the OS without these applications. I tried trashing the apps but the App Store keeps trying to update them, so clearly something remains.
How do I get rid of these applications completely and have the App Store recognize that they are gone?

The reason macjack and tzikowski recommend doing the migration when the computer is booted for the first time is due to how Migration Assistant works. MA doesn't copy Applications & files, it copies Applications & accounts. If you've already logged into your computer, when you use Migration Assistant it will copy your account from your old computer to the new one. Most people have a preferred account name and have already set up their new computer with it so when MA is run and the old account is copied, it has to be renamed. This can be disturbing or disappointing and yes, you can simply delete the first account you made and change the name of the migrated one but the short name isn't changed, just the long name.
But when you boot the computer for the first time you can migrate before any account is created so the old account is copied to the new computer and your account name remains the same. This is the only difference between Migration Assistant and what's called Setup Assistant in the first boot utility.
