Reinstalling CS3 on Mac after reformatting hard drive

I have CS3, and I had to reformat the hard drive on my Macbook Air. When I tried to open a CS3 application, I was told to reinstall. But when I click the installer it tells me there's a problem and I have to contact Adobe. Well... hah...just try contacting Adobe!
I can't de-activate the CS3 on the computer because I can't open it!
Hope somebody can help!
Thanks!

Hi DDanski,
Please try to download and re-install the CS3 product from the link below.

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.

After reformatting hard drive, iPod syncs very slowly with iTunes

A couple of months ago I had to reformat my computer's hard drive. I keep all my music files on an external hard drive. After reformatting, the man who did this for me reloaded iTunes for me and imported all my music back into my iTunes library.
It seems that since that time, when I sync my iPod to the iTunes library, it takes many times longer than it used to. Maybe something else happened to my iPod or iTunes and the reformat is just a conincidence, but it really does seem to take three or four times longer to sync.
I have iTunes 7.4.1.2 and my iPod is an older one, a 40G with dock connector
Also, I recently bought some audiobooks to put on my iPod. I only had about 600megs available so the iPod would not sync. I then removed several Gigs from my iTunes library. When I click on the "music" icon under "library" it shows that I have only a little over 29G used which should leave well over 5 plus Gigs available for the new music. But when I try to sync the iPod, it gives me the message that I have only approx. 600 megs available. What's up. I never have had this problem before and I have had the iPod for several years.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
Dennis

I actually learned yesterday that Apple didn't put USB 2.0 in their Macs until G5... something I was VERY irritated to find out. Turns out they were betting that Fire Wire would take off instead of USB 2.0, so they only equipped their machines with USB 1.1. So as a result, my iPod is unacceptably slow. Other nagging problems like this are convincing me that I'll have to get a new Mac Pro in the coming year, but for the meantime I think I'll be buying a USB 2.0 PCI card.
Thanks for your response.

How can I install Lion back on my mac, after the hard drive was replaced?

I had my hard drive replaced, by warranty. Guys in service centre installed 10.6.7 , but as my mac is a new one, and was eligible for free install of Lion. Unfortunately I didn't use time machine, so i don't have a back-up on software (I guess it's included in Time Machine). I have tried to download Lion from the Apple store application - it says - The file got somehow corrupted, and didn't run the installation. I have tried to download t once again - AppleStore app said it's installed already - And I couldn't download it again. I've decided to reinstall MacOS from DVD's I got with my mac and to try again. Now AppStore offers me to buy it! But it's supposed to be free, just because I had it installed already, isn't it? I wrote an email in Hardware up-to-date program, hope they'll help, but my mac was bought almost half a year ago.. What else can i do? Can somebody give me any advice, please?

You bought your Mac after Lion came out? Right?
You then upgrade from snow Leopard (10.6.x) to Lion (10.7.x), correct? How did you do the upgrade the first time?
You had to logon to the Apple Mac store and use your purchase date and serial number to get the free upgrade the first time. Just do that again.
Maybe not through the App store? Maybe through Apple Support after logging into your account and viewing your registered products?

Putting music from iPod to PC after reformatting hard drive

I'm new to the world of iPod Nanos and am still learning how things work. I had to reformat my PC due to a computer problem. I saw some place a note about moving music from the Nano to iTunes after reformatting, but I can't find it anywhere.
So my question is this: How do I move the music from my iPod Nano to iTunes so that I can put the files back on my PC?
I didn't do any back ups of music on the iTunes before I formatted because I hadn't thought to do that. I can see the songs in iTunes, but it won't move from the iPod to the iTunes Library.
Thanks for any help you can offer me!

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod, the transfer of purchased content has recently been introduced with iTunes 7. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of these here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions

For more on the new function in iTunes 7 look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

How to reinstall os x/data after replacing hard drive

I'm about to replace my hard drive after the original crashed. I have a macbook pro 17" and I have the original backup cd's, also a time machine backup on external hd.I'm installing a 1tb hdd from the 750gb original.
What is the sequence which I need to follow to restore my OS and data? The original OS is Snow Laopard, the one I ugraded to is Moutain Lion.
Apart from the sequence will the Ext hd have the operating system backed up on it or do I need to load the original OS disc and then the Apps disc or only the Ext hd backup?
As I'm replacing my hard drive do I need to format the new drive in disc utilities still, if so how?
Will I be asked for any passwords?
Any help appreciated.
Martyn.

Install the new HDD in your MBP.
Start the MBP with the Snow Leopard install disk holding down the C key.
Proceed with the installation until you see a menu bar on top of the display.
From the menu bar click on UTILITIES.
From the drop down menu select Disk Utility.
Select Disk Utility>Erase and format the HDD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Proceed to install Snow Leopard. It will probably be 10.6.3.
Open SOFTWARE UPDATE and install 10.6.8.
Then you may install Mt. Lion or Mavericks.
Run Time Machine and install your user data. Refer to this web site for assistance if need be:

Cannot get into iTunes and app store on my mac after new hard drive instillation

i had a new hard drive put into my mac recently, and since then i have not been able to access the app store or iTunes on my mac, which will also not allow me to sync my phone to it anymore as it is now not authorized to do such. I have contacted apple support, reinstalled the OS, and have enabled 2 step verification to verify my mac as a device, yet still will not work, is there any other way to fix this?

Can't connect to the iTunes Store
OS X: "Cannot connect" or "Cannot connect to the App Store. An internet connection is required"

Reinstall Acrobat Pro 9 after a hard drive crash?

So I am sitting here looking at the disk I have and the serial number. I cannot remember where we bought this and I am not sure I even have that documentation anymore. All I can recall is that it was 2 licenses per disk. I do know we did not buy it thru the adobe website.
Can I re-install on the new hard drive or am I going to have problems activating because there is obviously no way to deactivate the old one since the hard drive crashed?

If you have only installed once, then you still have one activation left. If you have no activations left, then you have to contact Adobe and explain that you lost the harddrive so that they can reset your activation count.

How do i set up my mac after a hard drive replacmemt

how do i set up my mac book pro after replacing the harddrive

Well if your machine came with Lion, your going to have to copy someone's Lion Recovery Partition to a USB thumb drive.
If your machine came with or was upgraded to Snow Leopard then your going to have to follow the
Restoring OS X - 10.6 "fresh install method"
Everything for either methods is here, including formatting your new drive:

Trying to restore my Mac OS after a hard drive failure and my password is no longer recognized, however I can log in by double clicking on the Lion Icon? How can I reset my password

I am trying to restore my Mac OS after a hard drive failure and my password is no longer recognized, however I can log in by double clicking on the Lion Icon? How can I reset my password

First, make sure caps lock is not on.
Another reason why your password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. At the login screen, you can cycle through the available layouts by pressing the key combinationcommand-space or command-option-space. See this support article.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

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.

Reinstalled itunes on new hard drive after old hard drive died and now counts as a new computer

After my hard drive died, I reinstalled iTunes on the new one. It counted as a new computer instalation but its the same computer. How can I have it not count as a new computer?

I have a feeling that the apps will be transferred to iTunes before they are removed from the iPhone. (This forces them to go through an authorisation check before they go back on the phone. This in turn means if you give away or sell your iPhone full of Apps, they will be removed. This in turn helps the programmers get paid adequately.)
If you have a backup of your old hard drive, you can simply drag the App files into the window of the new iTunes. They are in the Mobile Applications sub-folder of the iTunes folder.

Reinstalled CS3 on Mac 10.6.8 after major crash. ID doc created in CS3 v5 won't open

Problem solved. It helps to use CS5 to open a CS5 document. When you use the right key, the door opens. Lesson: Don't store installation discs of inactive versions with installation discs of current versions.

I am reinstalling Photoshop Elements 7 on my computer after my hard drive died.

I am reinstalling Photoshop Elements 7 on my computer after my hard drive died. I found a download page on adobe's website for the software and installed. Install went fine but when I entered the serial number I received from my original e-bay purchase the software said it wasn't valid.

No, I am using the serial number from the original e-mail that I received when I bought the software. I don't think I ever registered the serial number, how would I check?
