Trying to install app disc on my New 2nd hand iMac july 2010 MC511B/A

When trying to install app disc on my new 2nd hand july 2010 MC511B/A get a message box showing OS X utilities, when choosing reinstall OS X get T&C's and then 2 options Recovery&Old Mac, Recovery option says locked, Old Mac option asks me to sign in on my @Apple ID, I do then nothing! tried just loading the 'Install discs (Applications & OS X) but no joy, though not sure if uninstall done correctly:(any idea's?

Well, running on a 2006 model.  I did not have a startup disc.  Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006.  Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set.  And, since then I think I popped it up to lion. 
All I have on a disc is snow leopard.  And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive.  I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now.  We'll see what they tell me .  I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff.  So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc.  we'll see if they can recover.  If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system.  Just not sure at this point.

    I own cs4.  My original computer die.  So I trying to install cs 4 on my new computer.  Please HELP~!!!!!

    After many hours on the phone and chat with adobe it appears that since I now have windows 8 on the brand new computer, i cannot use my current cs4.  I was told adobe does not offer upgrades from cs4 any longer but that an authorized adobe reseller would.  I am having a hard time finding out how to locate and verify that and I need to get back on Photoshop soon as mI have  a deadline - thanks

  • I am trying to install my CS4 Suite onto new PC with Windows 8.  It installed Photoshop but nothing else.  It is asking me to "Install with 'setup.exe'"  Which i dont think is on there.  Is there a way around this?  Thanks in advance.

    Run the cleaner tool and reinstall with sufficient user privileges and security stuff turned off. Your install went wrong because you didn't consider this.

    I am trying to install Photoshop Elements on my new Windows 8 computer (I recently upgraded my windows 7 computer where Photoshop was working fine on before).  It says the serial number is invalid.  Do older versionsnot work on Windows8, or do I need to uninstall it from my old computer first?

    You are allowed to have two activated installations.  If you happened to have one on this Windows 8 machine before, it is possible that the activation used for it was never deactivated (did you deactivate it before you upgraded Windows?).  Talk to Adobe support thru chat.  They might be able to resolve this with you:

  • I m trying to install microsoft xp on my new Mac

    I m trying to install microsoft xp on my new Mac, however after completing the xp installation it now say i need to have windows 7 instead of xp and hence i m not able to use my Mac OS now . Please let me know if I can use xp or in worst case scenario if I need to reinstall window please let me know how to do that now ?

    boot from mac os dvd, go until top meny appears, select disk utility from there, repair HD in whole, quit disk utilities, run startup disk, select OS X to boot from, quit, quit installer
    it will reboot in mac os x, go utilities - bootcamp assistant, remove bootcamp partition, reboot
    select one of VM solutions:
    VMWare or Parallels - commercial
    VirtualBox - free
    Use it.
    I personally don't like other variants like Wine etc

    I take that to mean you never deactivated the 2 old machines.  So you're stuck.  You need to contact customer care via online Chat.

  • Photoshop cs4 access denied when trying to install from disc in Windows 7 64bit.

    Photoshop cs4 access denied when trying to install from disc in Windows 7 64bit. I tried it in
    safe mode and it starts to install but get an error there as well.
    What do I do?

    So when you put the disk in it won't run correctly? When the disk is inserted you should have a window pop up with 2 options. 1 to install and the other to see what is on the disk. Choose to explore or open the disk. Go to the CS4 folder where the photoshop .exe file is (that will run the setup), right click on the .exe file and choose run as Admin and it should start. See if it will install. If not then read below.
    I am not sure how far you got in the install before so chances are you will have to run the CS4 cleanup utility. 2 levels to run at but don't use 1 or 2 just type in the number 3.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
    You may need to run the windows installer cleanup utility too

    Before you try to reinstall the software ensure that adobe reader is not installed. If it is remove it. It has caused issues in the past with vista and CS4 installs.
    Also turn off windows Defender and any anti-virus software. You can keep UAC on in Windows 7.
    During the CS4 install at 90 percent it will almost stop and may take 5 to 10 mins to finish. This is normal. What a pain huh......
    After install is finished, reboot
    After reboot, go to the CS4 64 bit or 32 bit icon (depends on 32 or 64 bit Windows 7) in start area, right click on CS4 64 bit (if you have windows 7 64 bit) and choose properties, compatibility tab and then check run as Admin at the bottom area. Hit apply, ok to close out.
    Now start CS4 and run the updater.

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • I am trying to install Illustrator CS3 onto my new MBAir.

    I am trying to install Illustrator CS3 onto my new MBAir. I have the CDROM for CS3 and want to download onto the Air. Tried copying the files via TimeMachine share but didn't work. Do I need to buy an external USB to download or is there another option?

    Adobe applications typically place files in all sorts of locations, so trying to install Illustrator from a TM backup or copying from another system is very difficult since you probably can't get all the files. You'll need either an external CD/DVD drive or another computer with a drive you can access, either for Remote Disk:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287
    or if it's a Mac to make a disk image of the Illustrator installer CD which you can then copy to the MBA and run.

  • When trying to install apps from App Store only have a cloud nothing else to click on and get move to another app

    When trying to Install app can only click cloud no other options to click on

    Nope that's not it, I always use that particular ID, but the @me.com portion of the Apple ID is missing when trying to download from the App Store on the Phone.
    It is grayed out inside the App Store app so I can't change it there and I already changed it in the settings.
    The entire Apple ID is fine in the Settings so I don't get why the App Store ID is different and missing information.

  • When trying to install apps from app store it does not prompt an apple id and after 15 minutes says "cannot connect to itunes store"

    When trying to install apps from app store it does not prompt an apple id and after 15 minutes says "cannot connect to itunes store".

    Your Apple ID may be greyed out because of restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Changes>Accounts. If you set that restriction, your ID will be greyed out. Nobody can make changes to the account without entering the passcode to change disable the restriction.
    Maybe something in here will help, even though this is not exactly what you are experiencing.
