Trying to use CS5 on my new MacBook Pro with Maverick -

It's not going well so far.....too many problems.
Can't save preferences because I don't have permission?
What does this mean?
I need to save preferences.
I need all aspects of Photoshop to work correctly.

This is vague in my opinion.
1- I don't know how to "fix" permissions.
2- I don't know where to find "permissions "
3- This does seem like an installation problem, because I never had this problem until I tried to transfer PS to my new computer.
4- This forum isn't enough help.....why doesn't Adobe support Photoshop???????? It's crazy they support Photoshop. I need to work.
Is it really going to take 5 days to fix every little problem I have with Photoshop? There are many.
This is unprofessional.
I would like to SPEAK to somebody who can help me with Adobe Photoshop.....I want to iron out all the issues in one phone call and get back to work.
Can we arrange this?
Thank You.

Steve2606 are you trying to download Creative Suite 3 from Download CS3 products? If so have you tried a different web browser?

New macbook pro with mavericks but time machine back up with Mountain Lion

Due to an incident with a cup of coffee my 2009 Macbook pro was unexpectedly destroyed. However I now have (thanks to Insurance) a new Macbook Pro which runs Maverick. I have a back up of my Mac from Time machine however my latest back up was using Mountain Lion, am I going to be able to re-install this back up onto my new computer? If not how can I get my data out of Time Machine onto my new mac?

You need to erase and format the new HD as OS X Extended (journaled), restore the TM backup onto it, and then reinstall Lion to put on the Recovery HD. Best is to do all of that in an ext HD enclosure, ensure that it boots the MBP, and then put it into the MBP. Once that's done and, if the MBP supports it, upgrade to Mtn Lion, which is what Lion should have been when it shipped.

Startup disk almost full for brand new Macbook Pro with Mavericks

I recently purchased a brand new Macbook Pro Retina that runs on Mavericks. I keep getting a message saying that my start up disk is almost full, even though I have almost no files on the hard drive other than whatever was pre-installed by Apple. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

New MacBook Pro with Mavericks- reformat or not?

Hi folks,
Background: I had a lovely MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard which died on me and so I replaced it last week with this equally lovely late 2013 Retina 15" 2.3GHz i7 MacBook Pro which, obviously, came with Mavericks.
But since I was under pressure to get work out I actually set myself up on this Mac, using Mavericks, thinking to just drag some of my files from the old MacBook Pro's hard drive (already in a caddy) to "stock up" my new computer with files I needed when I discovered the Migration Assistant and, perhaps, ill-advisedly just migrated the lot.
I have used it fine with only three applications of, quite literally, a hundred or so lost to me and two glitches probably due to "confused" preferences, but I know that having done it this way is not ideal. I have the original Mavericks based User (hidden of course) and the migrated one.
Snow Leopard versus Mavericks: I very much like Snow Leopard and I don't actually dislike Mavericks as much as I thought I might. But if I were to have to choose one OS over the other the one which would save me money would possibly win.
My problem with Mavericks is two-fold: 1. I have Photoshop CS (yes, OLD. But I cannot justify buying upgrades and it works well for what I use it for) and cannot now run it, and 2. I MUST be able to run Final Cut Pro (6 but I recently bought 7 finally) on it reliably (and I have never had crashes under Snow Leopard, never EVER, but had already one in just one week with Mavericks, possibly due to the way the application arrived on the machine I realise).
My only problem with Snow Leopard is that it is not as cool as Mavericks but for a video editor that is not the be all and end all of it...
What I would like help with is:
1. Could I even have this new Mac run well enough with ancient Snow Leopard (so that I can rescue Photoshop CS)?
2. If absolutely, categorically now- how do I start over? I mean- uninstall the migrated User and take the machine to factory settings? IS it as simple as reformatting (I ask the "silly" question due to the fact that I have not yet worked with a computer which doesn't have install disks) and then reinstalling the software (yes- I have an external hard drive now)?
3. How to effectively "pick the bones" of the old hard drive (I still have the hard drive in the caddy I can take files from- it has become a sort of "time capsule" of my old MacBook Pro) so that I don't mess up Mavericks but still get things like my old email, iPhotos and some installed applications which I am not sure I can find the download links for (even though I have my purchased serial numbers they are often not associated with the download website and with so many I am concerned that I might lose some).
Thank you so much for reading.

CS3 and newer will run, CS2 or older will not.
You can not run Snow Leopard on your machine (unless you run the Server version in a virtual machine)
Erase your Mac, use Setup Assistant and do the migration correctly, start with an empty Mac (like a new one is)
As for FCP, there are mixed reports, some say it will not install but once installed (?) will run OK, you can but try.

MacBook Pro died, can I restore back up from previous OS to New Macbook Pro with Mavericks on it?

My son's (grad student) MacBook Pro's logic board went out two weeks ago. We have a new one coming tommorrow, which has Mavericks.
His back up from the older computer has the previous operating system - is he going to run into any problems restoring his data with the different operating systems?

You shouldn't. That's the reason for having a backup.
The best way is to use Setup Assistant when you get the new Mac. For details read this from the late Apple Support Communities contributor Pondini:
19. I got a new Mac, or a new or erased internal HD -- now what?

Fcp7 will not load on to my new macbook pro with mavericks

I am trying to move Final Cut Studio from my old macbook pro to my 17" macbook pro i7. It prompts me to add the serial number and then it says that the serial number is invalid. Is there a problem this program and the Mavericks OS?

How are you trying to install FCP? You can't just copy it, Pro Apps need to be installed to work.
When you got your original computer with the pre-installed FCP-7 weren't there discs included?
You would be best served to install from them.
Also, if you are running FCP-X there are specific installation guidelines to have both FCP-7 and FCP-X installed on the same computer:
See this document:
Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, Compressor 4: Installation best practices - Apple Support
about half way down the page.

Also: If you are doing a clean install of FCP-7, then you should use

from Digital Rebellion (free) to remove the traces of your previous attempt to install.

I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers.

I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers. and both are on a stable wireless connection

Logging into itunes store on each machine wth different Apple IDs is OK Autorising each others machines with the other Apple ID is OK. This is completley separate from Home Sharing
For Home Sharing to work you need to
File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share.
You need to select one of the two Apple IDs you are using and ENTER THIS ON BOTH MACHINES WHEN CREATING THE HOME SHARE.
Home sharing will then work

Loading CS5 Master Collection onto new Macbook Pro with no DVD drive

I have a complete, legitimate, registered version of CS5 Master Collection. I also have a new Macbook Pro with no DVD drive. I have lost the disk, but have the box and confirmation email when I registered the product, with the key code. This product cost alot of money and I really need to get it onto my new machine. Can I do this without having the additional cost of a new DVD drive? I already paid for and own the software with keys so it's not like I'm trying to bend anything or do it for free. Any advice would be appreciated thank you.

Download the CS5 Master Collection trial version from
http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
You must follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first otherwise the links will not work.
Launch the trial and enter your serial number to license it.

I can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

i can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software - neihter version 6 or 7 - since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
or http://www.apple.com/contact/
We are just end users here helping other end users.
Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
Good luck!
