Transfer PS CS5 to New PC With Only Upgrade Disc

I've always upgraded my Photoshops every couple versions, leaving a long line of upgrades. I can't even remember what my originally purchased "full Photoshop" was anymore.
Anyways, I'm on CS5 Extended now, for which I have the Upgrade disc and serial number (also registered at Adobe.com).
I want to move it to a newer computer in the future, but as I only have the CS5 upgrade disc, I don't see how I can.
It seems the only way is to find the old, old PS software and my 2-3 upgrade discs in between, and keep stepping it up until I can put CS5 Extended in.
Anyone else have this issue?

The days of having to have a previous version installed prior to installing an upgrade are gone.
The upgrade disc contains the full code for the software.
If you enter an upgrade serial number during installation, the installer will ask you to also enter the serial number for a previous qualifying version: CS2, CS3 or CS4 (doesn't even have to be the serial number for the full version - an upgrade serial number will do). Due to Adobe's 3-version-back policy, any version earlier than CS2 will not qualify and won't be accepted.
So, deactivate CS5 Extended on your old PC (if you're not using it any more).
Then insert your CS5 Extended Upgrade disc in the new PC and have the serial number for CS2, CS3 or CS4 handy.
Once the two serials are accepted, the full version of CS5 Extended will be installed.

Set up new iPhone 5 with iCloud restore, then iTunes created new library with only content already on phone. How do I find and sync everything in original library?

My daughter got a new iPhone 5 and we set it up using the option to restore her iPhone 4 backup from iCloud. This worked great and everything on the old phone showed up on the new phone. Because we were traveling, we weren't able to sync the iPhone 5 with iTunes at that time.
She purchased new apps and music on the iPhone 5. When we returned home she synced with iTunes, and it seems to have created a new library, with only the content currently on the phone. I don't know if it prompted her to do this on the first sync or not - she doesn't remember.
So in iTunes, the library now only shows the music on the phone. A sync isn't doing much now because when choosing the phone in iTunes and selecting each content type across the top (Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows) the box is unchecked to sync that content. When I check the box to "Sync Music", iTunes gives a warning:
Are you sure you want to sync music? all existing songs and playlists on the iPhone Becca's iPhone will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library.
Same goes for apps, except that warning also mentions that the apps and their data will be erased and replaced.
At some point she was also getting a message that this iPhone was associated with another library, but I'm not sure how she had triggered that. She says she canceled out of that. I can see all of the music
How do we get iTunes to see the "old" library of songs, videos and apps without losing the ones she's purchased already on the iPhone? The music files themselves are still on the computer, and include music both purchased from iTunes as well as music ripped from CDs. Thanks for any advice!

How can i create a new user with only read rights ?

How can i create a new user with only read rights ?

You are asking about a Database User I hope.
You can look into the Oracle 8i Documentation and find various privillages listed.
In particular, you may find:
Chapter 27 Privileges, Roles, and Security Policies
an intresting chapter.
You may want to do this with the various tools included with 8i - including the
Oracle DBA Studio - expand the Security node and you can create USERS and ROLES.
Or use SQL*Plus. To create a
user / password named John / Smith, you would login to SQL*Plus as System/manager (or other) and type in:
Create user John identified by Smith;
Grant CONNECT to John;
Grant SELECT ANY TABLE to John;
commit;
There is much more you can do
depending on your needs.
Please read the documentation.

Map with 500 pdfs. How to make a new file with only the first pages, new file with second pages etc.

Hi,
A client confronted me with the next question:
I have a map with 500 pdf's in it.
Is it possible to make a new file with only the first page of each pdf?
After that to make a new file with only the second page of each pdf?
And after that the third?
Etc.
Is that possible with an action?
Or are there scripts for?
I couldn't find them.
I use an iMac with Acrobat XI.
Any help is very welcome.
Thanks in advance.

You can extract each page from each pdf as a seperate page. Once this is done you can select the pages tocombine.
You would have to write custom a custom JavaScript and programatically code the names to combine if the extracted file pages habvestandars naming that could be programed. There maybe some security coding you will have to do because of Adobe restrictions but this all documented in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.

How do yo transfer licenses to a new computer without having the discs

how do yo transfer licenses to a new computer without having the discs?

What version of Acrobat and what type of license do you currently have? Volume or Retail?

Upgraded hardware, and went from XP to Win7 - how do I transfer/install CS5 onto new SSD hard drive?

I recently upgraded all my computer internals; new mobo, Samsung SSD (solid state drive), CPU and ram. Also went from XP Pro to Win 7 Pro, with Win 7 Pro now residing on the new solid state drive. I still have the old 1TB Serial ATA hard drive connected as a storage device, and this is where CS5 resides. But of course, my CS5 applications are now unusable.
Can someone please give me some guidance as to how to transfer the CS5 installation from the old HD (XP Pro) to the new SSD (Win 7 Pro)? I started doing some research, and read about first "deactivating" CS5, but I cannot open any of my CS5 applications to "deactivate". So I am stumped. I am reticent to attempt a new install from my CS5 disks until I learn the proper process..........
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

In IPhoto or IPad, when I edit a photo in an existing album, the photo is removed and placed in a new album with only edited photos. How do I keep it in or get it back to its original album?

When using IPhoto for IPad, can I move photos from one album to another? For instance, when I edit a photo in an existing album, the photo is removed and placed in a new album with other edited photos. How do I keep it in or move it back to its original album?

That will depend on the kind of album your photo is in.
Most albums in iPhoto are created automatic by the way you are using and editing your photos, see: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/1.1/#blnkb9b1e2a
When you edit your photo, the edited copy is added to the automatic "edited" album and the view switches to he edited album. But the photo should stay in its original album - do you see something different? Only if you want the edited photo in the camera roll and the photo strea as well, you have to save the edited copy to the camera roll again after editing, otherwise the camera roll will show the original and not the edted version.

How to transfer Garage Band to new computer with all selfmade stuff

I just got myself a new macbook pro with of course garage band preinstalled.
I transfered all my .band projects from my old macbook and the loops i made too.
i put the loops in the same directory as they were on my old macbook hd/library/audio/apple loops/user loops/ but garage band didn't find them so i manually mooved them into the loop browser in garage band.
only problem: i have to mark them all as favorites again and whenever i open an old .band project for the first time gb has to search for each one again.
can you tell me how to do it better next time?
but now to the more important and current problem:
where do i find my selfmade software instruments on my old macbook and where do i have to put them on my new one?
and is there anything else i might need from my old gb that i didn't think of?
thanks,
paul

The best way would have been to use the Migration Assistant - it would have moved your whole user folder and your personal stuff over to the new computer.
About the instruments: There could be two Instrument Library folders, under HD/Library/Application Support/GarageBand and User/Library/Application Support/GarageBand (depending on whether you made the instruments available to all users.) If the other GB is a standard installation of the same version, you can just replace the folders on the new computer with the ones from the old machine, and all your instruments should be there. (The "if" refers to the fact that by doing this you lose all custom instruments you might have made on the new computer.)

How can I install after a hard drive failure with only upgrade disk?

I've been using Photoshop since 1998 but my HDD recently suffered a complete failure and I've had to change the drive. Unfortunately, I don't have my original Photoshop disk, only a CS2 and CS5 upgrade disk (with both serial numbers). Is there any way round this problem? Many thanks in advance for any replies.

Welcome to the forum.
My upgrade path started with Ps version 2.5. That was the last full version, that I had. All the rest were upgrades from there, though to CS 2.
When I went to install CS 2, I was asked for the CS version. I had both the upgrade disc and the S/N (my S/N's went through a couple of iterations, over the decades). In my case, the CS version disc was inserted, found and the installation went smoothly.
Now, while I have CS 5 (and 5.5 and 6), I never installed CS 5, it was just part of the upgrade path, to get me to CS 6 at the end. With my CS 5 S/N, CS 6 installed fine.
That was what worked for me, and I hope will work for you too. Keep that CS 2 disc handy, as you might need to insert that into the multi-drive, at a point in the CS 5 installation.
The one worry that I would have, with an HDD failure, would be Activation, as you probably did not Deactivate Ps, before that failure. For that, should you be up against your allowed Activations, you will likely want to call Adobe Customer Support, and explain your problem. They should be able to reset the Activations, and help you.
Good luck,

New HD and can't clean install with SL upgrade disc

I am really stuck here...
My '07 white MacBook HD died last week. It originally came with Tiger, I bought Leopard when it came out, and also bought the Snow Leopard upgrade disc.
When I got the MacBook back today, I thought I'd try a clean install of SL - but it wouldn't install, telling me I needed 10.5 or later in order to install SL. So I then tried installing Leopard, but the disc verification failed multiple times (it only has minor scratches on it!).
I then tried the Leopard install disc that came with my '09 MacBook Pro - but of course it must check the hardware, as it said it could not be installed on the MacBook.
So I then installed Tiger from the original MacBook discs, thinking I could upgrade Tiger to SL (had seen mention of this) - but again, I got the message stating I needed 10.5 or later.
I've seen a YouTube video of someone doing a clean install of SL - but the person had a new Unibody Macbook - and I think the SL must do a hardware check and if it's an older MacBook that wouldn't have originally come with Leopard installed, it doesn't let you do a clean install of SL.
Very frustrating I can't get SL installed on a new HD, even though I do own Leopard!

hi
actually you should be able to install SL over a Tiger install. i posted here recently with my (positive) experiences and here's an excerpt:
+1. Used the install disks that came with my MBP to put a fresh Tiger on an external FW drive. Updated install to 10.4.11 and installed SL over that. Started to install 3rd party SW one by one – NO ISSUES+
+2. Did a fresh install of SL on an external FW drive and migrated settings, programs, etc. from my MBP – NO ISSUES+
+3. Then I took the plunge and just “upgraded” my 10.5.8 on the internal drive using the SL install disk – NO ISSUES+
+I want to point out that during all 3 installs above I had 2 external FW disks and 1 external FW optical drive (used that for the SL disk) connected to my MBP !+
+Obviously, I took the “usual” precautions (make a bootable clone plus regular TM backup) before I upgraded my internal drive.+
maybe i am lucky that i have 2 external FW drives to juggle with. but if you have one (or get one) this ought to work.

Can I have a new number with an upgrade? 6 weeks left on contract

Hi everyone, My contract end date is 1st September but I am eligible for an upgrade. I want to stay with EE and Ideally id like a new number but would I have to pay up until the 1st September to get a new number?

Only if you upgrade early you have to pay off all of you contract not just up to the upgrade date but to your minimum term.
You can upgrade for free 45 days before the end of your contract.
You do not have to keep your number.

How do I reload Lightroom to a new computer with out a disc drive

I need to reload lightroom to a new computer with not disc drive

He did use the term "disc" not "disk". For me the C version is optical media and the K version is a hard-drive.
To answer the original question, you can download the latest LR 5.6 update and then enter your serial number. The LR updates, along with most other Adobe updates, are available here:

Snow Leopard disc on new MB Pro an upgrade disc or full version disc?

I've been wishing to buy a 13" MacBook Pro since my brother got his. He's got one with Leopard but I want mine with Snow Leopard already installed. Since I live in Puerto Rico, we don't have Apple Stores and they don't ship here either, I depend on Best Buy for my Apple needs. I've been calling them to find out if they have that laptop with SL and today some BB employee told me that they didn't have them with SL installed but that the computer comes with a SL disc so I can make the upgrade myself. Is this true, I didn't know Apple was doing that? If is true, is this SL disc an upgrade disc or a full version disc? Can I use that SL disc to install SL on a new, empty hard drive? If anyone has some experience with this please help.

I just got a new Mac Pro and it came with a Snow Leopard disk that was absolutely identical, inside and out, to the SL disk I bought when it first came out.
I didn't try an erase and install, I cloned from a hard drive backup (as we discussed elsewhere), but you can't see any difference between the disks, I have no doubt it's a full disk.
I had heard that Apple only made a single disk this time. I'm assuming the price of SL made separate disks unattractive.

Can I set up a new account with only a gift card?

My sister just got her first ipod and a gift card to the itunes store. It appears she needs to set up an itunes account in order to use the gift card. In the process it is looking for a credit card or paypal info - neither of which she has. Is it possible for her to set up the account only with the gift card as the method of payment?
Thanks!
