Target drive install on a mac computer without deactivating photoshop/lightroom

Can I do a target drive install on a mac computer without deactivating photoshop/lightroom on my older computer? I would like transfer all programs over without re-downloading and re-installing. Thanks!

I would recommend you only transfer your documents and settings to the new computer.  You will then want to install the software from your installation media.  Adobe software is not designed to be copied from one computer to another and it is likely you will face difficulties after trying to move the software over in this fashion.

  • Installing BootCamp Driver on a non mac computer for debugging purpose

    Hello, is it possible to install BootCamp Driver on a non mac computer in order to debug a software that is very slow on a Windows XP/BootCamp with MacBook Pro (I can't use the Mac computer for a long time, then I must test on my computer : a PC, not a Mac) : is it possible ? I tried to install Bootcamp 2.1 on a Windows XP SP2 on a PC, but the software quit after a while without any message.
    Thanks for help, Patrice.

    Hi Patrice and welcome to Discussions,
    I admit I never in 20+ years tried to do what you try to accomplish but I would assume that a Windows driver would only install if the appropriate hardware device is present.
    So, I don't think you can do this.

  • I need to install software on a computer without a dvd drive.  Where can I find the download for the student edition?

    I need to install software on a computer without a dvd drive.  Where can I find the download for the student edition?

    Perhaps you can copy it using a different computer, from the disk to a USB key.
    However, external DVD drives are cheap and in my view essential.

  • Disk Warrior refuses to install on any mac computer

    Have tried getting help from alsoft... no luck.
    Anyone know how to install disk warrior on my hard drive without getting the stupid corrupted prefs file warning?
    first, there is no pref file... second... how can it be corrupted if it doesn't exist? I get the same error trying to install it on any computer ( which obviously doesn't have a pref file setup yet for disk warrior).
    Is this a built in bug in that disk warrior always gives the same installation warning no matter which mac I install it on?
    I paid $136 for Disk Warrior, can't return it and it will not install on an imac, ibook running either panther or leopard.
    Anyone know of a good fire sale for this piece of crap software? Sorry I even bought it.
    How can I force disk warrior to install on any mac computer?

    It says there is a corrupted prefs file for Disk Warrior. Funny since there was no previous install and no such file exists... please explain how that could be?
    After paying $136 I do have a right to rant for poorly designed software that won't install since it means I'm out a lot of money for something that won't work. That is unless Alsoft wants to provide a refund... they didn't respond after I asked for a refund to return the software so I'll take that as a, "NO!" Buyer beware!
    I do live in Canada. We are still paying more for software than in the US. I have version 4.1 and it is for intel and power pc (neither installation worked for a week).
    As stated, after trying a week later and ejecting the CD before installing into my utilities folder.... suddenly the installation worked. Maybe they should have a line that says eject CD first before installing if that is an issue?
    Still no idea why it wouldn't install but obviously other people are going to run into similar problems at some point in time. For a product that has a lot of hype about it being so great, obviously there are some bugs to work out.

    I have downloaded e-books from Leserskring on my computer. I would like to download it to my Samsung Tablet as well. It says I cannot as it was already installed by another user. I contact Leserskring and they said I installed it on my computer without creating an Adobe ID and cannot change the "authorization information" on my Adobe Digital Editions.  If I do it now on my computer, after installing my books, I will loose all my books. Is this true or how can I correct it.

    If you downloaded Flash Player from the standard location http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ then you WILL have the option to decline the bundled install:
    If you download the installer from Mike's link above (which is posted several dozen times in this forum every day), then you will not get any bundled software.

  • Had a new hard drive installed on my Mac. Now how to get ALL my music/photos from iPhone to Mac?

    I had a hard drive crash on my Mac laptop over Xmas, and had a new one installed.  The iCloud contains all my purchased music, but I need to sync from my existing iPhone to get all the songs I previously had uploaded to my library from CDs.  (Don't want to do that again if I can avoid it!)  My iTunes library (actually on iCloud now) is about 600 songs short.  Is there a way to do this?  Every time I attempt to sync, I get a warning that all my songs on the iPhone will be wiped and replaced with what's in the library.  That's exactly the opposite of what I want to do.

    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can purchase third party programs to retrieve the other music, at your risk.

  • Can 7.1 and 8 be installed on the same computer without conflict?

    I wrote a program in Labview 8.0 and want to run it on a computer that already has 7.1 (this computer has a lot of programs that we don't want to have to upgrade).  Saving as a previous edition created 5 pages worth of compatability errors.  Is it possible to simply install 8.0 in addition to 7.1 on the same computer without either program interfering with the other?  We use a DAQ card and GPIB.

    As Blair said, yes you can have multiple versions installed.
    You simply have to remember 2 important things:
    1.  Keep backups of the appropriate versions of vi's.
    2.  Remember to right-click on the vi and select Open With > select appropriate LV version.
    Instead of 2 (above), you can always start LV first and open the vi's from within it.

  • Installing itunes on a computer without internet

    Is there a way that someone can put itunes on a computer without downloading it straight from the internet? Can they download it on another computer and save it to a disk or something then set it up on the other computer without internet?

    Can they download it on another computer and save it to a disk or something then set it up on the other computer without internet?
    Yes you can. when you download, choose Save rather than run. Then copy the installer file (either an iTunesSetup.exe or an iTunes64setup.exe) to your portable media and carry it to the other PC.
    The primary issues on iTunes for Windows are making sure you get the 32-bit or the 64-bit installer. Usually the iTunes for Windows download page automatically detects which kind of operating system the downloading-computer has ... but if you're trying to download (say) a 64-bit iTunes64setup.exe installer file on a 32-bit PC, that can be a disadvantage.
    Here's a link to a page with a direct download for a 64-bit iTunes64Setup.exe installer file (in case you need to get a 64-bit on a 32-bit PC):
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL925
    To download a 32-bit on a 64-bit PC go to the standard page and get the option that doesn't mention 64-bit (you'll know you've gotten the 32-bit one if the file is called iTunesSetup.exe).

  • Migrated my CS6 to a new computer without deactivating

    I screwed up. I migrated my purchased CS6 from my old Mac Pro 1.1 to my newer Mac Pro 4.1 without deactivating it. The old computer is gone.
    I noticed that I am now getting notices about a trial period of Creative Cloud? I think it's because it now detects that I'm using more than 2 computers ( my laptop, my old Mac Pro, and my new Mac Pro.)
    Can I go back on deactivate my CS6 on my old Mac Pro online?

    You might be having a problem due to migration.  Adobe software needs to be installed, transferring doesn't work.
    As far as deactivation goes, you will have to contact Adobe support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.

    I have formatted one of my computers, without deactivating Adobe CS4 Design Premium. I have a license for 2 computers and still am keeping it a one of them, but am now unable to install it in the computer that I formatted, probably due to limit of activations. How can I solve this issue?

  • Activate photoshop in new computer without deactivating in the old one?

    Hello,
    My old computer is dead and I need to activate photoshop in my new computer without having deactivated in the old one. Do anybody know how to do it?

    You are allowed to have two activated installations, so if you only ever had the one then there is nothing to keep you from activating a new installation.  If you would like to free up the inaccessible activation then you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.
