What to do about lost disk

I have an old computer with PS CS installed (an upgrade version based on an original PS 7 install). I now have a new computer (instead of, not in addition to the old one!), need to install CS on that, and cannot for the life of me find the PS 7 install disk. I have the CS install disk, and I have the S/Ns for both, but not the PS 7 disk. The CS disk won't install because it can't find an installed product. Is there anything that can be done here that does not involve buying an upgrade right this very minute?

with cs3 you just need to enter the old serial #. i just did a clean install and skipped my 6, 7, cs, cs2 installs and just went to cs3. after installation and before 1st run it asks for either the media or serial from a qualifying product. i entered my cs2 serial (an upgrade) and cs3 install completed and activated cleanly.

    The true amount is the higher of the two, in this case.
    Finder and Disk Utility will often show differing quantity of free space for the following reason.... If Time Machine is turned "on" in Lion, Time Machine will accumulate copies of changed information and store it as "Local Backups". This affords more "restore points" for your Time machine backups than would otherwise be kept if Time machine were to only create restoration points at each syncing to your backup drive. These "local Backups" are purged from the system at each backup sync, and the process of accumulation begins anew.
    The operating system treats these local backup files as "low priority", and will be erased straight away, if ever during normal operation the user needs this disk space. Hence, some reports will not count these files at all in free space calculations, while others recognize the space as at least temporarily in use.
    As well, Local Backups will stop accumulating is the free space drops below 10% of total. This is so that paging operations are completely unhindered by what might be a situation where erasure may be required before virtual memory could issue a write operation.
    You can turn "local Backups" off via a terminal command, but it is hardly necessary. You can stop the accumulation and purge (erase) the files by simply by turing off Time Machine, and then using the "backup now" feature the next time you want to sync to your Time Machine backup drive. You simply will have no additional staged backup points other than the ones you make every time you sync. In other words, it will be just like it was in Snow Leopard, except that you have to "tell" Time Machine to sync, instead of TM doing it automatically just by hooking up the drive. Turning off Time machine doesn't disable TM, it simply turns off Local Backups, and automatic syncing upon backup disk mounting .

  • Selling Damaged MBP - what to do about hard disk?

    I have a 2011 Macbook Pro which has had the VGA failure. A reball failed and I decided to give up on it and sell for spares or repair. It had a disk in it with 10.8.5. I would normally do a re-install for a new user but cannot do that because the machine is not working. I want to sell it with the drive but am not sure what to do to make it safe with regard to my previous data (I guess I will have internet passwords in my browsers)....I need to go in an try to get my bookmarks from chrome and firefox - Im going to use Macdrive to do this...
    Any advice? If they dont have my user log on - is this safe or maybe better to wipe the disk with macdrive?

    >if I wipe the disk does that present a problem for the buyer <
    Well given that the MBP is non operational at the moment, I don't think that's a major issue. They can always install Yosemite if it comes to that but that would still presuppose that they got it running.
    They should also be able to do an Internet restore if they get it up and running:
    Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery - Apple Support
    Just did that with my wife's Mini 2012 and that was awesome!

  • I run OSX10.6.8. Just dwnlded FF8.1 and everytime I go to open it I am asked about the disk image. But if I delete the dmg, the program won't run.

    I just downloaded the 8.1 version. It was a 30+mb file. Previously I ran 4.0. So I drag the new Firefox icon into the Apps folder. It does its merge thing with the old version. Problem is when I click to open FF now, it always throws up this window asking me about the disk image of what I just downloaded. I even tried restarting the computer--but the same message pops up. I checked on your website and it says that I need to "eject" the disk image (i.e. I'm guessing that means the 30+ mb file I just down loaded), so since I don't have an eject option that I can find (except for external harddrives and cd/dvd), I just drug it into the trash. I go to empty the trash and I get a message that that dmg file is "in use" even though FF is completely shut down. So again I'm guessing that means that even though I already merged that dmg file with the old 4.0 version file, if I dump the update file it seems that it's going to mess up the actual revised program file still remaining. I just want to be able to click on the icon in my dock like I've always done and have FF open. I don't want to keep being asked about disk image stuff. Somehow this feels like an easy resolution, but I just can't seem to put my finger on how to resolve it. Thanks for you help.

    Nope---didn't work. I've owned Macs for about 12 years so although I am brain dead on some things, I do have a working knowledge on most things. I only say that to say this--I did try holding down the mouse and choosing empty trash. It asks if I want to permanently delete what's in there. I say yes--and then I get the same identical message again-----'The operation can't be completed because the item "Firefox 8.0.1.dmg" is in use I can then click stop, or continue.' So apparently that complains the same way it does if I click it up on the menu :)))
    As for item owned by---that's not an issue and isn't coming up. User is not a problem either as I am the only user on this system. There is only ONE file in my trash at the moment at that is this dmg file. Nothing Mac. Nothing owned by anyone other than Firefox. The problem seems to be that the dmg file and the original 4.0 FF file are working in tandem with each other--even though I have already drug the new 8.0 globe into the Apps folder and it updated the FF app with the new stuff. If I could force the dmg file to go away, I would do so, but at every turn the system is telling me it can't be done because it seems to think that dmg file is in use---even though everything is shut down and/or ejected. Hey--I'm getting ready to head out and won't be back till evening. I'll check back in this evening. Thank you again for your help.

  • I purchased a used 2008 iMac. And although the previous owner said he deleted all of his information his iCloud account is still the primary. I don't have a clue about what to do about it. I signed him out and logged in with my info, but still no go.

    I purchased a used 2008 iMac. And although the previous owner said he deleted all of his information, his iCloud account is still the primary. I don't have a clue about what to do about it. I signed him out and logged in with my info, but still no go. Is there any way to eliminate his iCloud account and make mine the primary without rebooting it back to factory settings? There was an update, I believe, that I couldn't install because i didn't have his password that is what made me aware that his acct. was still active. I don't know what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
    The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
    How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
    1. If you don't own another Mac
    a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
    2. If you do own another Mac
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    3. Partition and install OS X
    a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the  Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
              OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
              The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
              You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
    In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
    d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
    4. Other issues
    a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

  • Warning about low disk space on drive E

    Hi,
    I'm running Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion Elite HPE. My main drive i s C and there is also D (Factory image) and then the HP(E: ) one which is giving the warning about low disk space. When I look at what there is in drive E there is a folder called "my name"-PC with a lot of "Backup Set" folders/files in it, and then there is a folder called WindowsImageBackup and subfolder "my name"-PC.
    I know I have to clean out these folders but I ma very insecure as to what I can delete.
    I'd be very thankful if you could give me some advice in this matter!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    File History in Windows 7 is an extensive image backup of your drive which will steadily increase over time and needs to be cleared and suggest that you turn the feature off.  It is not very efficient.
    If you wish to delete this  Windows Image Backup file, you should disable  the automatic backup feature of Windows.
    Click on Start button > Control Panel > System and Maintenance> Backup and Restore.
    In the left pane, click on "Turn Off Schedule".
    From there you can delete the backup files on your E drive.
    I also suggest as an alternative, use Macrium Reflect Free every so often as it is more efficient and reliable.  It will make a complete image back up of your entire hard drive to an external hard drive.  Don't forget to create a rescue disk.
    Go to this site and do a Custom Install:
    http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx
    I personally use the Professional Edition which gives me more flexibility and features.

  • Data Protection Manager 2010 Lost disks, trying to add new disks.

    Have some problems with DPM 2010. I run it with a HP server with  HP disk shelf and a HP tape-robot. Had some problems and the RAID on the disk shelf, and the raid got corrupted. Had to  delete it and create a new raid. When starting DPM now I
    get missing disks on all protection groups. I deleted some of the protection groups, and created new ones, and that works well. But it is kind of a lot of protection groups. And DPM is extremely slow. Deleting a protection group takes somewhere between 15-45
    minutes. Adding them back even longer. The screen where I expand computers in the domain to view shares or SQL-servers might have some timeout issues. It takes about 10-15 minutes just to list the content of one computer.Made a protection group from a SQL-server
    and it uses about 10 minutes just formatting for each database.
    I ran DpmSync -ReallocateReplica last night and it was done this morning. Now all protection groups states they will need to be manually backuped. Not really sure what that is about. Installed the latest hotfixes for DPM now, and restarted.
    During the next restart it started running chkdsk automatically. And it is finding incorrect segments and corrupted data basically everywhere. Read somewhere that you should´t use Chkdsk with DPM volumes. But at the time it can`t really break anymore.
    But what I`m really wondering is, what to do when you lose your replicastore drives. And add new ones without having to delete and create new protection groups?
    Ps: I´m Norwegian, so my sentences might be a bit strange.
    Edit: the chkdsk took forever, aborted it and deleted the raid volumes again. created new volumes, removed the old volumes from dpm-pool and added the new one. Ran dpmsync -reallocatereplica then dmpsync -sync. When this was done I openend the DPM 2010 Admin
    Console. All protectiongroups was marked as inconsistent, started consistencycheck on all protectiongroups. Which probably will take the rest of the weekend. I removed the protectiongroup for exchange and fileserver since it would take forever to complete
    a consistencycheck. Kind of stupid that I have to run the consistencycheck and not take a backup, since the disks are empty. Should have been a way to scrap the replica and take a new replica backup.

    Hi,
    After fixing the faulty raid-array and adding the newly created disk into the DPM Storage pool, running DPMSYNC -REALLOCATEREPLICA is the correct thing to do.  That will remake all the volumes required for each of the protected data sources and
    then require a consistency check (CC).
    Since the new volumes are all blank, the CC is basically just performing a new Initial replication by copying the protected data back to the new replica volume.  Don't get hung up on the job type (CC, initial Replication, Recovery Point) as the bottom
    line is DPM is fixing the problem so new synchronizations and recovery points can be made.

    the software update on my mac has been going on for like 3-4 hours and it still looks like it loading... don't know what to do about it?

    Hi, Welcome to the forums,
    Is it the software update checking that you are talking about?
    If its this can you just select 'Cancel' to stop it? or force quit?
    It possible that the computer has lost its connection to the Apple servers and just needs to restart the process.
    Or,
    Is it a particular software update that you are running that has frozen up?

  • Lost Disk space after Reinstalling Leopard

    I upgraded my Mac OS v.10.4.9 to Leopard v.10.5.1 in May and after Leopard was installed I had about 13 GB HD space left. It was lightning quick too. The new OS was v.10.5.1
    Since then I've been downloading regular Security updates as they were prompted until the OS reached v.10.5.5 but the whole thing was gradually getting slower too so I figured I would reinstall Leopard and take it back to v.10.5.1 to see if it was back to the high speed it had when I originally installed Leopard v.10.5.1.
    After I re-installed Leopard last week and it was back to v.10.5.1 it went back to running superfast again, but yesterday I started getting a notice that said I was running low on Startup disk space and I needed to delete some stuff to gain space.
    When I checked available space I have less than 1 GB, about 300MB.
    It seems that by re-installing Leopard it has been written adjacent to the 10.5.5 instead of on top of it, which I thought it would do automatically.
    I found a file named 'Previous systems' on the HD and deleted that but it screwed it up so I had to restore that and now it's back to normal but I've still got less than 1 GB disk space.
    Can anyone tell me how to delete my old operating systems (both the 10.5.5 and the 10.4.9 that I presume is still on there, which I originally upgraded to Leopard.)
    I'm a conservative user of disk space and I deleted all my photos and only gained about 20 MB of new space so I'm pretty sure the problem is the OS's are written adjacent to each other instead of on top of each other.

    Barry,
    Thank you for your help.
    When I deleted the Previous Systems file it was about 7 months after the Leopard installation.
    You are right, I did do an Archive and Install in order to maintain all my info from v10.4.9.
    The problem I encountered after I deleted the Previous Systems file was I then did a Secure Empty Trash and as it was emptying it was showing over 200,000 items and still upticking and that worried me that I had done the wrong thing by deleting the Previous Systems file.
    So I stopped the Emptying process, and did a restart, thinking my HD space may be restored if the file was indeed possible to be deleted.
    When it restarted that time, instead of the usual boot up process, there was a small flashing square box in the centre of a grey background, the small box had a blue earth in it and that went on flashing for maybe 20 minutes.
    It eventually booted up and so I went to the trash, where the now presumably slightly diminished Previous Systems file was, and I dragged that file back into the HD and re-started the machine.
    The world sign again flashed on, but this time for maybe only 10 minutes before it booted OK.
    I checked and I was back to v.10.5.1 bit still with only about 300MB Disk space.
    That's when I deleted all my photos but that only gave me about 20MB so now I'm up to about 320 MB - but as you say that is nowhere near enough.
    But I do notice a definite increase in speed using 10.5.1 compared to 10.5.5. Those Security Updates have dragged it down badly.
    Now that you have explained that the Previous Systems file may be safely deleted then I will try that again and let it run its course this time.
    I'll let you know what happens.
    Thanks again,
    ann

  • Maintenance scripts, whats that all about?

    In this case I do not actually have a problem, but have heard about on other forums recently something about scripts running in the middle of the night, assuming you leave your computer on that somehow magically keep your Mac working properly. I did a search on the apple forums for this but to no avail.
    Anyone know what this is about? Does it actually work, and if so why?
    From my perspective it seems like one could cause more problems by always leaving a pc on, due to power failures or surges etc.
    Thanks in advance for some insight on this, or links where I could learn more.

    Yes, the Keebler elves are busy late at night keeping the computer problem free!
    There are three maintenance scripts that Unix runs on a daily, weekly, and monthly schedule. The scripts are run automatically between 3 and 5 am provided the computer is turned on and not sleeping. The scripts perform certain general maintenance chores such as deleting old log and temporary files, rotating the logs, and updating the lookup database.
    These maintenance activities prevent log files from growing to unwieldy size which also tends to keep the logs from becoming corrupted. This does help keep OS X running smoother, but they hardly keep OS X completely free of problems. Other efforts are needed:
    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior. DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption. However, DW is not yet compatible with Intel Macs. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 is Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility called Macaroni that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
    OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk 6 (Shareware)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. SuperDuper (Commercial)
    6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - not universal binary.)
    7. LaCie SilverKeeper (Freeware - not universal binary)
    8. RsynchX 2.1 and PsyncX 2.2.1 (Freeware)

    Hi tinashah817,
    Was this book downloaded using iBooks, or from another application? If it was from iBooks you will need to install that application to delete it.
    See this article about managing your iBooks library on your iPhone -
    iBooks: Tips for managing your iBooks library and storage on iOS devices
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5544
    Once the book has been deleted from the iPhone you can uninstall the iBooks application if you so desire.
