Transfer /reinstalling cs2 to a new computer (without disc)

Hi, I've just purchased a newer, faster computer, mainly because the harddrive on the old one is dying. How can I transfer/ reinstall my CS2 from the old one to the new one?

  • Want to transfer songs and pics to new computer without old one

    My old computer, somethings really wrong with the drivers, and it doesn't recognize my ipod or any usb device (we have given up trying to fix it, we've tried like everything, including reinstalling windows, therefore deleting all of my songs and itunes and everything. But the problem persists, and I can't even charge my ipod because its not recognized.)
    So I bought a new laptop, and I want to transfer the songs to my new computer. Is that possible without using my old computer? and how do I do it? All the songs that I want to transfer are already on my ipod (at least I think that are, i can still listen to all of my songs on my ipod if I charge it with someone else's computer...and none of them are from the itunes store). What steps do I need to take to transfer them and is there a risk of all of my songs being deleted for some reason during transfer?
    Help me please! and if you can't help me, is there any way I could email a tech support person who could?

    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However 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
    iRepo Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    There are various programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more:
    iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
    CopyPodPhoto Windows only
    Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
    Finally, If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod

  • How do I transfer my playlists to a new computer without transferring all my music from the external hard drive?

    I would like to transfer my itunes to a new computer but only see instructions to transfer all my music over including the playlists.  All my music is currently stored on an external hard drive because it is a very large library of over 30GB so don't really want the music taking space on my laptop but want to have the playlists transferred over and be able to access my music library on the new computer through the external hard drive.  Any idea how to do this?

    As Chris says... but if the media is on an external drive as above then you also need to make sure the external drive has the same drive letter on the system you are moving to or iTunes won't be able to find the files.
    You might also find this topic useful: Make a split library portable.

  • Computer stolen, is it possible to reinstall Lightroom on my new computer without buying it again?

    my new macbook pro was stolen.  i have had to repurchase a new computer and I need to re-install lightroom.  is there a way for adobe to allow me to install lightroom on my new computer without having to repurchase it?
    thank you.

    You probably have the trial of the Creative Cloud version installed (this version cannot be activated with the perpetual license key). Uninstall the one presently on your computer this will not affect your existing catalog, preferences and other personal files. Then download LR 5.6 from the link below, install and insert your serial number and it should work fine.

    Carbon Copy Cloner -or-
    You could remove the HD and put it in an External Enclosure -or-
    Maybe try using Apple's Migration Assistant -and finally-
    Once you have the new computer set up you may want to use Time Machine

  • How can I transfer a profile to my new computer without overwriting the existing profile?

    I have a new Window 7 computer and have started using TB. I now want to transfer my messages from my old (Window XP) and do not want to overwrite the data in the new computer. Is there a way to transfer the old data and add it to the new profile?

    For downloads of CS3 see THIS thread.
    For your serial number, if Photoshop is still running on your old machine;
    Start Photoshop. Goto Help > System Info. Buried in amongst all the stuff in there will be your serial number. Read through it carefully.
    If Photoshop is not installed / running on your old machine, then you are indeed pretty much hosed.
    This is always assuming software that old will run successfully on a new machine, of course.

  • Reinstalling Acrobat Pro 9 on new computer without disc

    My organization is purchasing new computers next year. We have two old computers that currently have Acrobat 9 Pro installed on them. I do not have a disc or install download information as this installation occurred quite some time ago before I worked here. I'm wondering if it's possible to reinstall Acrobat 9 Pro on the new computers when we get them, then update them to Acrobat XI Pro - or somehow wind up with Acrobat XI Pro on both new computers without having to purchase brand new copies (which I believe are significantly more expensive than just the update - we're a non-profit, so money is tight). If this is indeed possible, how would I go about doing it?
    Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi SGPL,
    You can download Acrobat 9 from the direct download links available at : http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    And then use the serial number to activate it.
    But make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.

  • My computer crashed, I have no access to the hard drive.  How do I transfer my itunes to my new computer without messing up my ipod?

    My computer crashed, I have no access to the hard drive.  I have a new computer, I want to install i-tunes so I can purchase more music, but I'm afraid to attach my i-pod to the computer, because I want the music already on it saved.  How do I transfer the music on my i-pod to my new computer?  I don't have access to the old computer at all, just the i-pod.
    I'm not real computer "savy", so easy to follow instuctions would be helpful.
    Thanks,

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - To transfer other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup

  • How can I transfer my iphone to a new computer without losing my apps

    Hi,
    so here's my story:
    I share a computer with another family member (computer 1) and we each have our own iphones with different apple ID's on computer 1.  I recently got a new computer though and downloaded itunes onto it (computer 2). I've already started adding music to computer 2 and now I want to move my iphone to computer 2. How can I do that so that I do not lose all my apps? I guess it would be okay to lose the pictures and music because I already have a way to recover those.  But I wouldn't mind if anyone has a way to salvage everything. Also, it should be noted that I do not prefer to keep computer 1's library.
    Second question: If I were to copy computer 1's library to computer 2, would I be able to keep the existing music from computer 2, or would it just replace the whole library with the copy of computer 1's?
    Third question: Computer 2 claims that there is now a backup of my iphone on it, but still won't let me sync the phone. If I were to go ahead and say, "yes, sync the phone and erase the content," would computer 2 allow me to restore the phone or not? (because it's still synced to computer 1)
    Thanks in advance everyone!
    Sincerely, the dark night

  • Download to new computer without disc

    I need to transfer my standard 9 to a new computer but do not have the disc. How can I do this?

    Try Adobe Acrobat X (10) Pro, Reader, and Suite Direct Download Links | ProDesignTools. Please make a backup of the download so you don't have to look for it again -- it may not be there. Whenever you purchase download software, you should backup the download on a CD or backup HD for the future.

  • How can I transfer my bookmarks to a new computer without syncing, since the old computer is trashed and cannot connect?

    That's it. I need my bookmarks. But that computer is never going to connect to the internet again. Remember when we didn't assume interconnectivity of every damn thing? This is how the cyclons are going to win.
    Any help out there?

    Assuming that old PC still boots up, see this: <br />
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
    If it won't boot up, you might be able to install the old hard drive into a USB hard drive enclosure and connect the old drive as an external drive.

  • How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

    How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

    When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
    have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
    remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
    Good luck & happy computing!
