Trouble re-installing lightroom 5 after Mac crashed

Help, I desperately need my Lightroom 5, but no matter how I try to re-install it - from link adobe sent or from disc - all I get is "An error occurred when attempting to change modules".  This is the first thing you see after entering the serial numbers. It looks different and nothing works. I have talked to chat at least 3 times and they finally admitted they know nothing. Can't talk to anyone by phone. So much for support for Lightroom.

Why can't you talk to anyone on the phone?
There are a number of possible causes for this. Not sure what happened with the Mac crash, but my first guess is that user permissions are currently messed up as a result. Try creating a new user account and see if you can launch Lightroom there.

  • I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one?

    I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one? There are only a few of the contacts I had, so there must be a location where the rest are, but not sure where to look. And once I find them (with your help), how do I get them into the address book?

    If you copy abook.mab or history.mab into a profile folder, they will show up as Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses. But if the mab files have names other than abook or history, they can only be imported to TB with the use of [https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook].

  • Has anyone had trouble installing Lightroom 2 on MAC version 10.8.5?

    I'm trying to re-install Lightroom 2 on my MAC but it doesn't show up anywhere in the applications.  The adobe help desk said that it may or may not work due to the version.  Does anyone know anything about it or how to fix it so I can install it?

    How far do you get through the installer?  If I remember rightly, LR2 was released before application signing was added to the OS.
    Try skipping the cd and going straight to 2.7 for a start

  • Error Installing Lightroom 4 onto Mac

    I'm trying install lightroom 4 onto my Mac operating on Mac OS X 10.6.8. At the end of the installation, an error keeps occuring that is causing the installation to fail. There is no error code or anything. Help?

    At the top it says, "There were errors with the installation. You may want to try installing again." I tried again and it came up with the same error. In the middle in huge letters it says, "The Installation failed." And under that, it says, "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    That's all I've got.

  • Lost profile and all mail folders after mac crash

    disaster! my mac crashed. when i restarted and opened thunderbird, i was prompted to create an account. ii spent a lot of time on mozilla support--determined that my address book was in tact and tried several things according to other posts including moving the profile. nothing worked. i finally set up a new account, hoping to import the old folders. but now its a mess. i cannot find anything that resembles the old folders, i dont have a back up (i know), and im in over my head.
    does anyone have suggestions of how untangle this. or know of support available in nyc. the folders contain years of business emails--i would happily hire someone at this point.

    If you are being asked to create a new account you have lost your profile not just the mail folders. Read this article on how to attempt to recover it.

  • Creative Cloud install on PC after Mac?

    I purchased a license fromAcademicsuperstore for Creative Cloud and installed it on my Mac. I understand that I can install on two computers, so I now want to install it on my PC desktop. The file that I used to initiate the install on the Mac is a .dmg file, so I tried to download the PC equivalent, and I was told that my license code had already been used. What do I do?
    Thanks
