Reinstalling cs5 on new hard drive same computer

Do I have to de-authorize my copy of CS5 from my old hard drive when I upgrade to a newer hard drive? I will be using same system, just updating hard drive with a clean install of OSX10.

Hi dovephotographynyc,
Yes, you would be able to activate it on the same machine. There wouldn't any problem doing that.
Kindly revert in case you face any trouble with activation.
Thanks,
Atul Saini

I recently had to replace my hard drive and lost my iTunes library. When I try to transfer the content from my iPod to iTunes on the new hard drive (same computer), it would only let me transfer iTunes store purchases. How can I complete the transfer of all the content on the iPod back onto the computer?

Got a new hard drive now computer wont update my ipod

I had to get a new hard drive and have managed to get all of my old music back into itunes but my computer does not read my ipod and has not updated the new music that I have purchased thru itunes or music I have downloaded from a disc since installing the new hard drive. I have re-installed my ipod software from the disc with no results.... HELP!!! My Mini now has no music on it because I reformatted it when prompted to do so when reinstalling the software... I am so frustrated, please advise???

I have to admit that your reply seems as though it would work, but I am not sure exactly what your reply means, can you respond to me like I am an idiot and spell it out for me??? I am having a great laugh at myself right now, but if you tell me exactly what to do, I am sure I can figure it out. I did put the disc that came with my mini, I even uninstalled itunes all together and reinstalled it but that did nothing to help the cause... still getting the same response that my software is not "installed properly"

How can I reinstall iphoto on new hard drive?

Original purchase came with iphoto installed. After hard drive crash new hard drive does not have iphoto app. Anyone have any idea how to reinstall without having to purchase? Had to install original OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard

reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced = probably your case
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

Hey there,
after exchanging a broken secondary hard drive without a proper deinstallation/deactivation of my cs5 production premium, i have trouble now with the new installion on a new hard drive in Windows.
First thing i tried was deleting all CS5-related entries from the registry, but that didn't help.

Hello,
I have an activated and legitimate copy of Aperture 2.1.2 (with serial number).
I will be installing a new hard drive into my Mac Pro at the weekend and doing a clean install of Leopard.
1) do I just download the trial version of Aperture and then enter my serial number to get the fully operational software?
2) how do I rebuild my library / projects so that my pictures / tags etc. are recovered? I have been maintaining a Vault of my pictures. Do I just switch the external hardrive that that Vault is stored on and 'ask' Aperture to rebuild my library?
Sorry of my terminology is less than correct / technically accurate!
And thank you for your time,
Adam

No, your reasoning is right on target. My comment about cloning was addressed more to the discussion with Wes, but I had sensed you were probably wanting a clean install. I did the same thing to create a boot volume where I freshly installed every pro application (for me that is Final Cut Studio apps, Photoshop CS3 and Aperture, plus some others) and got them up and running before adding still other applications. My other Leopard boot volumes were based upon having upgraded Tiger to Leopard, and when I got Aperture 2, I wanted to start fresh. I must say that with the boot volume that I had created by an upgrade of a clone of a Tiger boot volume, that Final Cut Pro and Photoshop had worked fine, and I still use that Leopard boot sometimes.

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.

How do i reinstall yosemite on new hard drive without a disk?

I bought a used imac late 2009 as mine died and needed far to much to be repaired. It came with yosemite installed. I used carbon copy cloner were I had an external hard drive with a recent backup image. I connected a usb external device and boot from my external backup. I copied the image I had back to the new iMac internal HD. I thought it would have been as simple as that. NOOOOOOO! that failed and now I am completely messed up. Purchased software says my serials are no longer good. I can't do any work. Office 2011 and outlook won't even read my email. Adobe software hangs and won't allow the OnOne software I purchased work. I bought the latest version of OnOne 9 Suite and it fails to install stating to contact the vendor. (of course no one is there to help). I have several photo sessions I need to edit. I am under pressure. I tried for hours to work around and try to resolve my issue. I safe booted and used time machine. It was chugging all night for 9 hours and in the end it said an error occurred and failed to restore my computer. I have now had 1.5 hours of sleep and truly frustrated and had enough. I dug out my PC laptop and posting to this forum. I gather at this point just say **** it and format and start over. Documents are saved and photos are on a raid device. SO I am not concerned about my work. I am concerned about getting the reinstalled software reinstalled because many of them when I tried to launch stated it was not compatible with Yosemite and to download a compatible version. Of course the vendors want money to get the latest greatest. I don't need the latest greatest because the version I had did exactly what I needed and I do not need anything more. My email in outlook is a concern. My livelihood, meaning how I make a living, is primarily based on email communications. My business purchases are in email. My billing and receipts and sales are in email. The last time I had a catastrophic failure with outlook and hours and hours of trying to recover from backups, I ended up asking my clients to forward me their copies and just started over with Outlook. iMail can't handle the 10,000 emails I deal with weekly and the deluge of email accounts I manage. I could not find any other email client that offers what I need... Calendar, appointment collaboration, organization etc etc. All this does not change the fact I am still stuck. I was told in a pop up this iMac is not registered on my Apple ID account. I can't even find where my broken one is registered, remove it and add in this used one. From what I can read, the solution is to bite the ******* bullet, again, and format and start over. Well, with the downloads of MAC OS X I don't have a hard copy on disc to boot from and just do that. With all the issues with Yosemite, I am not even 100% positive I want to go there and just be happy with Maverick and ignore the lies from Apple just how much better Yosemite is as it is not and just a license to print money with all the cash I need to spend to get my purchased software up to speed. Ok, I have ranted enough. I still believe that MAC is better than WINDOWS. Considering to buy a WINDOWS PC had crossed my mind and when it crossed I pushed it in from of the MAC truck and lost that consideration. I am a Microsoft engineer and know all the reasons why not to buy Windows. I need help from the community. I can't afford to pay a Apple support guy that says just reboot and hold down this key and when it fails to help he says he will have someone call be back that is smarter than he is. I am out the cash and never get that call. Your suggestions, recommendations and "How To's" are very much appreciated. Thank you for reading my query and my rant. -Brian

Thank you to all that helped. I did get the CD from Apple Care and managed to rebuild from scratch. In conclusion, there should be a better way to help recover from a complete disaster. I lost the original computer and hard drive. I had a Clone Copy of the hard drive I regularly updated. I used Time Machine. I thought I had all my bases covered in the event of a disaster. Even the cloned hard drive is stored is a fire safe guaranteed not to exceed room temperature even if the safe was in a fire 2700 degrees for over 25 minutes. (Enough time to have a fire department put water on the fire) The safe cost me a lot of money. The time Machine external hard drive is a RAID striped system with 5 HDD with a failover of 3 complete HDD failures simultaneously. Because of piracy, software installs will go to extraordinary lengths from having a license copy of the software cloned from one computer to another. I get it. People steal. Software companies deserve a pay cheque just as much as I do. I did what I did because of all the money and time I spend in setting up, installing and configuring my licensed software I wanted a fast resolution to recovery. As I learned from this experience it is simply not possible. If your HD changes, there are several disc sectors that are used for licensing that is not recovered in a carbon copy. Carbon Copy to me I thought was old school Bit Copy if you remember. Not so. Changing a motherboard or whole computer even if it is to a same make and model has issues too. It's called an ESN. Electronic Serial Number. This number that is specific to every motherboard made is used in licensing software. I searched the net looking for a way to PAY to have a fail safe system for recovery. I only found systems that are available or for very high sensitive information servers and is priced way out of reach for an average consumer. Meaning, that a complete disaster in your city will not loose billable or liable information about you. You can rest assure that after the zombie apocalypse you will still get your cell bill, hydro bill, mortgage payment schedules and your criminal record will remain intact. We can thank Hitler for teaching us that error when he destroyed the records of the cities he overthrew. It leaves me with an argument about accountability. Why is it when I buy software, I own nothing. It is a licensed agreement to use the software but I never own it. The developer sides with the fact they own the intellectual property and can not just sell it once and loose it. Agreed! It's the legal departments of the companies that want a piece of that pie too. So they remove any accountability of that licensed agreement that would hold them accountable the end user does in fact own nothing. When the software or product breaks down, their system they use that writes information to parts of your HDD that you can not back up and to be used against you because they don't trust you, there is plenty of small print that states they can not be held liable for their decisions. No matter what happens, their fault or not, with or without prejudice, they are not accountable, whatsoever. Being that I had no choice but beg and plead the people I paid money to for permission to use their software, on ways to help myself in a disaster, get copies back, to put me in the same state I was in before the disaster happened without getting further ahead of the game, I was simply told its not my problem or responsibility. When I asked about accountability? I am told read the fine print and when you are done, pay me to get the old copies back, to get the bootable medium you need and all along they way, let me ram a few more policies down your throat and say, your working software you had is no longer supported and you need to buy the updated version.
Can someone explain to me how I am a better person for all this. How about at least explain why I should not cave in like most other people I know and seek out pirated copies instead of paying for them. It's certainly not for support. I go none and what I was offered I had to pay for on top of paying for the license agreement.
My personal argument came to this head. I asked why do companies and people want to rip off each other. Was it greed? Was it economy? Was it the state of technology is changing so fast everyone is eventing on how to deal with this by the seat of their pants? Here is my conclusion: People generally are followers and not leaders. People that are leaders, thinkers and risk takers are generally outcasts, different and unusual people. Einstein said there is a very thin line between genius and insanity. He never said if they crossed that line or not or what happens. I think, the ones that do cross the line are more than we would like to consider acceptable. We coerced by their insane thinking, there leadership and their ideas. We elect them and let them form governments. We allow them to invent things and then tell us we can't live without it. I know most of you agree and some of you will say it has been going on for a long time. It's true. But like I said we are mostly followers. Thus it has been accepted as a way of life. Right? Wrong! The masses are getting fed up. They are being tired of being ripped off. Need to test this??? Just go a mall and on it's busiest night stand in the middle and shout at the top of your lungs "FREE 10" TABLETS, RIGHT OVER THERE" and point at some poor unsuspecting store. Watch what happens People love the word free. Because they are tired of not getting value for that they pay for. Free Software, Free Games, Free this and that. People download by the millions. Why, they no longer see the value of one person making money and getting value for that hard earned money. They are tired of paying for it and getting nothing. The know this intimately. Themselves are ripped off every day by government, insurance companies, banks, energy resources and yes even software companies. We have learned from the best, well at least the most insane. Here is a thought to leave you with as I seek to ponder about this experience and how I thought I had done the right thing for myself... get my value for my dollar: Have we been here before? YES, many times. The most recent one like this were the fat bubble burst was WWII. What happened in that war was not so much about the atrocities of the murdered and killed, the real story was the living, the survivors. The playing field was leveled. It no longer mattered just how rich you were, how new of a car your drove or what job you had made you different from everyone else. There was one objective. Survive. Live to see another day. After the war the survivors were not liberated. We had a great depression. Overcoming the loss of that war and the rebuilding that needed to be done when no one was willing to pay to have it done. We had to put our differences aside. Our culture, our creed, our resolve had no bearing. We were all in the same leveled playing field of life. My pondering is leaving me one tough question... What happened to us. How did we become so greedy and so racist with each other that we threw out accountability. Not only did we through it out, we all said ion way way or another that it was acceptable. Our problems may very well be different from each other but what has not changed we all feel we deserve respect and should hold each other accountable for our decisions. What happened to that very resolve that government bodies, religious leaders and factions, manufacturing and developing companies all feel this resolve does not apply to them. What happened?
LOL: Funny how a 12 cent CD could have been offered in the first place with a little knowledge being shared could have misdirected what I just said to the focus of this group. Wow.
Thank you people for helping me with my issues. I truly appreciate it. Thank you to those of you that put up with my rant. More thanks to those who read it. My sincerest apologies to those I reminded just how life *****. To the rest of you... click the home button on the browser. I hope it lands you on Google, Wiki or God forbid, Bing, were you can start a new quest in life.

White Screen- New Hard Drive Same issue

I had a white screen. The MacBook Pro would do nothing. The only way I could get it to work was by pressing option when powering on but even then I tried everything reinstalling Lion. When I tried to reinstall lion it would pop up with an error message. It would not even let me choose a location. I ordered a new harddrive and I am still having the same issue. White Screen when I turn the computer on unless I press the option and power button and Still an error message when I try to reinstall lion. ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME!!! THANK YOU!!

If you want to preserve the data on the boot drive, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot from the Recovery partition or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

Reinstalling OSX on new hard drive without reinstalling other programs?

Hi,
I've been having numerous problems with Logic Pro for a while, especially with core audio overload messages with more than a few tracks of VSL (large samples).
I was advised to run Onyx, which told me my main system drive needed repair. I ran Disk Utility from the Boot disc, but this could not repair the drive.
I then tried Diskwarrior with a similar result - DW reported that it had set up the new directory but could not remove the old one due to a disk problem. When I look at the system directory it looks the same though.
I still have the problems with Logic, so I guess it's time to replace the system hard drive. I'd be grateful for help with how to go about it, in particular with avoiding reinstalling Logic and all the plugins I've installed with it if possible as this would be a massive pain.
I have a second internal drive for audio which has a reasonable amount of space on it which can be used. This is a new drive as the old hard disk also became damaged - is there any event which could have led to both disks being damaged? Or is it just coincidence?
Any help gratefully received. I'm going nuts trying to fix this problem.
Thanks
Jamie

Hi Jamie,
Two possibilities I see for what you want...
1. I've used that DiskWarrior Alias to actually clone the whole works to another drive using Tri-Backup...
http://www.tri-edre.com/english/tribackup.html
Though it may work to use...
Carbon copy cloner...
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
SuperDuper...
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/
But that may wipe things off the other drive if you don't know how to avoid it.
2. Install OSX fresh on the other Drive, then 1st time it boots up see if Migration Assistant can pull all your stuff over from the 1st Drive.

New hard drive, same iPod, but difficulty transferring music! HELP!!!

OK, my computer's hard drive recently crashed and I had to install a new one.I reinstalled my operating system and iTunes. My iPod, still had the 700 songs on it, so I thought I could just place the songs on the iPod back into iTunes.
Well, I guess this method is called "syncing." Either way, I authorized my computer and had the music "synced" The only music to transfer over, however, were my iTunes purchased songs. My entire music library (built from hundreds of CDs) would not transfer.
So question 1: Can I retransfer ALL my music to iTunes?
And the second half of this problem is that when I download new music from iTunes and my CDs and try to place them in my iPod, the music won't transfer over. IT just gives me an option to "sync."
How can I get my iTunes music updated into my iPod????!
Why is this so difficult?

The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved also it was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location described. Also it won't transfer playlists or videos as far as I know. However if you're interested it's 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. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. Relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
