Reinstalling from backup - Windows

My hard drive was replaced, but I had a backup so I copied the adobe files from the following folders: Program files, Program files 86X, Users (desktop).
I can see the files there, including the installation instructions and my reciept from adobe with my key code.
I can't find the exe file I need to relinstall the program so I can use it. Is there another place I need get additional files from back up?
First, I tried logging on to my account at adobe to re-download the software, but for some reason it doesn't show up under my online account??? I know that will take forever to contact them, so any help you can provide will be appreciated.

what software are you seeking?

  • Itunes Library reinstalled from backup disk- but doesnt work without DISK

    i recently cleaned up some bugs on my computer.
    I also installed Avast antivirus.
    I turned off the computer- a couple days later when I turned it on-my itunes library was empty.
    I reinstalled the library from my backup disk
    now lots of songs onthe library have exclamation points- when I click on them it says- we need to find them- then I put the disk back in and all is well.
    I bought I new Ipod - 7.0 all good- and it sync-ed great- all songs on the Ipod work
    ideally I would like to erase the itunes library and import everything from the Ipod so that I dont have to carry the backup disk everywhere. How do I do that? or another solution? thanks.

    Sounds good. Will this work for the iPhone apps, too? When I copy the whole iTunes folder, will the recopy correctly in the new iTunes?
    Yes...
    *Fast backup for iTunes library (Windows Only)*
    Grab SyncToy 2.0, a free tool from MS. Copy your entire iTunes library & any other media folders onto another hard drive or network share. After making your initial backup copy use SyncToy to periodically synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the changed files will be copied saving lots of time.

  • Had to switch MacBooks Now I'm getting error messages when I reinstall from backup

    Had to switch MacBooks Now when I reinstall my adobe products onto the new computer I get an Error message (error #6) when I try and reinstall the programs (drag and drop) from my time machine backup onto my new computer. Im running what I believe is the adobe design suite CS 5.1 (It was purchased on disk in mid 2011) and the new computer does not have a disk drive to reinstall it that way

    Restoring from Time Machine backups never works. It usually breaks the licensing mechanism.
    Uninstall CS5, download CS5 from Download and Installation Help
    Install then enter your serial number.

  • Podcast subs: reinstalling from backups or importing from second computer

    My Vista Home Premium notebook crashed a few days. Fortunately, before reinstalling of Windows and all my programs, including iTunes, my neighborhood computer shop was able to first retrieve all my data to an external hard drive, including the iTunes sub-folder (under "Program Files") and all its files.
    First question: is there a way to reinstall the podcasts to which I subscribed, perhaps by copying some or all of the files in the backed-up iTunes folders, thereby avoiding the need to search out and re-subscribe to each of the numerous podcasts to which I had subscribed?
    Second question: Since I've also subscribed to the same podcasts on my second, desktop PC running Windows 2000, is there a way of exporting the Podcast subscriptions to my Vista notebook? The iTunes Export command only exports the individual podcast files, not the podcast subscriptions.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    I'm having a similar problem to this.
    I wiped a load of episodes of a BBC Radio Podcast I've been keeping since 2004. Finally, after 6 months of searching, I have been able to get the episodes again. No matter what I do though, these episodes end up in the Music list and do not appear under the relevant programme's podcast heading.
    I have changed all the available parameters to match the information of the files listed under Podcasts. In the case of the most recent batch, 2006's episodess, the information for the files I acquired was already correct- it had never been altered. Yet these still always end up in Music.
    It didn't used to be like this on older versions of iTunes. Is there anything I can do to get around this? It's extremely annoying.

  • Ipod touch 5g taking a long time to restore from backup

    I have recently used find my iphone to erase my iPod Touch 5th  Generation and have made a very recent backup of this device. I have plugged the device into itunes and clicked restore from backup (Windows Vista Home Basic 32 bit). It proceeded in restoring my iPod to the backup and the estimated time had gone up to nearly 8 hours. The status bar is gradually moved up, but what can I do to make it faster as I have waited nearly 6 hours for this and it is ver stressful =(
    P.S I am currently using an iPod Touch 5th Generation running the latest version of iOS 7 of iOS 7.1.2

    Thanks for your reply. My iPod Touch has finished its restore, yet not all the apps were installed onto the iPod. This is not a problem because most of my apps I did not want/need. My photos and music was installed/synced as well. It took a very long time for this process to happen. Thank You for your support. How can I award you points?

    FCE 4.0.1 won't open when I click the icon in the Dock or in the Applications icon of FCE. It had been working well but I had trouble when I trashed the reference Scratch disk to a project and I was asked to get it back. I checked all my drives through verify in Disk Utility and a couple needed repair - eventually were given the OK. I then Shut Down and rebooted, I then trashed the FCE App and reinstalled from the Install discs and , finally, I tried opening a FCE project. None of these caused the FCE App to open with Browser, Viewer, Canvas,. Time Line. All that happens is the the first FCE window, the one that says FCE registered to...and the other that says loading AE Effects, Video Effects does show but then nothing except my Desktop with it's various folders and files I also downloaded the Plug In Tom Wolsky suggested to a recent query.
    All I can think of is to backup everything to HDs and take this iMac in for a service.It is only six months old - I reckon it will be poor driving by it's proud but unskilled driver!

    Don't panic . . . . . yet!
    You may not have trashed FCE properly.
    Deleting the application icon is useless as there are a number of files hidden elsewhere which may be corrupt.
    Download this free app to uninstall FCE completely and then reinstall it.

  • How do I retrieve bookmarks and passwords from a Windows backup, after OS re-install?I have a full Windows backup of my machine, pre re-installl

    I had to reinstall Vista 7 OS. I have a full Windows backup of my machine, prior to the re-installation. How do I retrieve the bookmarks and passwords from the backup? I understand they're stored in various files a ".default" folder in C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\mozilla\firefox\profiles. When I try restoring the folder, the files get skipped... When I try browsing for the individual files, I don't see them!

    Many thanks for your responses... After a little scouting on the web, I have found THE solution... This is all due to the way Windows 7 Backup works, and will NOT let restore apps...
    ("File restore in Windows7 is not designed to restore back applications. This is because the application state is spread across potentially multiple folders, files & registry. Windows7 file backup is not aware of where all the state is spread to be able to restore the entire application accurately as such information is internal to the application. Restoring application partially might corrupt the application and render the application unusable. So we do not allow restoring applications from file backup.
    In case files under C:\Program Files etc. are chosen for restoring, we block restoring files from backup to such locations as it might cause the applications to not function.'')
    What one has to do when restoring is to NOT attempt to restore to the original location, but to select the radio button which allows you to type a path where you want the files restored and type in the path of the original location!!! Then select copy and replace...A little quirky (and tedious), but it works!

  • How can i copy my data files from a windows backup to mac mini

    I recently purchased a mac mini and waiting on its arrival.  I am converting from WinXP and my current system is not working at the moment (started smelling smoke one day and the video hasn't displayed since from the PC - so its been shut down).  I can easily fix whatever the issue is with the PC - however - my question is.  I perform periodic backup of my data files to an external drive with Windows Backup, can I restore my files from the Windows Backup to the Mac Mini?  If I don't have to fix the PC - I can save that cost and buy an CD drive for the Mini (or something else).
    I haven't investigated the real problem on the PC - I just know its hardware related (not OS).
    My last backup was atleast 1 month ago - so I know I might lose a couple of things....but not very much.  If its "simplier" for the migration process to fix the PC - then that is the answer but if I can extract from the external 1TB Seagate.  I think I only have 50GB of data (itunes / pictures / etc)
    Thanks

    Can I back up computer with time machine on lion then reinstall snow leopard and restore from backup safely?

    If your machine came with Snow Leopard or earlier and you have your install disks, yes, you can reinstall SL. However, you will need to erase the entire hard drive so you will lose all your files. Also note that there are some apps (such as Mail) which can't be downgraded "automatically" such as with a restore from Time Machine. Here is some info on TM:

    Mac OSX 10.6.8 running Photoshop CS5. My hard drive went belly up. Installed a new one and then tried to install Photoshop from my backup. I get an error message 6 telling me to uninstall Photoshop and then reinstall from the original software. But I bought from Adobe online. How do I go about this?

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?
