I bought Lightroom 3 or 4, can't remember which, as an online download. I then upgraded to 5 with a CD. I registered the upgrade on my Adobe account and that's where the serial number is. I just bought a new iMac and am trying to install Lightroom. The system is asking for my original serial number which I don't have. The point is. If I have the upgrade registered with my Adobe account, shouldn't that be proof that an earlier version was on my computer??? I'm really stuck. Need some advice! Thanks

Hi John,
Thanks for your response, but if you read my first mail, it's the original serial number that I don't have. I bought the original LR as download and have misplaced the serial number. Is there any way to find it???

What is the best CD and DVD to use with my new iMac Intel?

Guys, please help. I am not great on the computers and need a bit of help and advice. Just brought a brand new iMac Intel G5. This is to replace my older but much loved iMac G4, which is very simple to use. Have had nothing but trouble with the new one which was especially brought to copy CD's and DVD's and to have a good play with. After much head scratching have just been told by Apple help desk that the new intels may not like CD-R. These disks worked fine on my old Mac, brought a new pack (100). I can copy information and burn to these disks using Disk Utility. BUT they can only be read on the Intel iMac, not on my old mac or PC at work. This is only simple word and pdf files, nothing complicated. Copying and burning DVD's even more of a nightmare. What makes and formats do you recommend that I use? I can copy to DVD+R. Your advise would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Townie1978

Thats the full spec of my iMac Intel duo core, plus added memory. As per the sellers website. The bit about the superdrive is pure fantasy. Have tried to copy and burn to DVD -R, +R and -RW all go through the motions and keep you in suspense. Then you put the disc in another player and disc not recognised. Really, really upset by this.

How do I install a program from a dvd on my new imac

How do I install a new program from a dvd on my new iMac?

Buy an external USB optical drive like the Apple USB SuperDrive.
Use another Mac with an optical drive by using Target Disk Mode.
Borrow a Mac with an optical drive and clone the DVD to a USB flash drive.

I "have" to buy a remote just to watch a DVD from my new iMac?

I can't even play a DVD on my new computer? I tried to look up "Front Row" tutorial on Apple's site. Well, I get over 230 topics, none of which relate to the "Front Row Application". This is pretty upsetting if I have to buy extra equipment just to watch a movie. The movie opens in Front Row, but none of my keys or mouse work at all. Man, my pc was trouble free at things like this.

You can reintsall applications from your install disk.
To reinstall applications that came with your Mac:
Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc and double-click the package that installs bundled software or additional software. A package has an icon that looks like an opened box.
Follow the onscreen instructions. If you see a pane with a Customize button, click Customize and select the application you want to install. If you see a pane that lets you choose what to install, click the disclosure triangle beside Applications and select the application you want to install.
If you can’t find the application you’re looking for, you may need to reinstall Mac OS X. Your documents and user settings will remain.
Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc and double-click the Install Mac OS X icon. In the pane where you select the destination disk, select your current Mac OS X disk, and click Options. Select “Archive and Install” and “Preserve Users and Network Settings.”
Regarding a remote. You need to see if your iMac has an IR Receiver. Open the System Profiler (Applications/Utilities). Select USB under Contents on the left. If it doesn't say: USB Bus / IR Receiver, then you can't use a remote stick with your iMac regardless.

No DVD drive in new iMac ???

So I have just completely upgraded my 15 years of home movies on DVD over the last year.
I converted video, old DVDs and used imovie to make great copies for all the family.
I just learned that if I get a new imac from Dec 2012, they have no DVD drive ?
What ?
If its true, then I need to buy into some device that can play and burn them for the next years.
Yep, Apple have a vision, but I cannot see it and I am 50.
In 180 months , when I am 65, I wont care about the visons of Apple.
But i will care about the memories on the discs and as Apple dont let on why they restrict the continuation or stop the use or anyone else using aformat that quite honestly is massively serviceable today and will be for some years.
Glad I dint chucj out the old dell and also, I will going fire her up to play my movies and memories. Steve Jobs is pictured on some of those DVDs, guess the new guys wanted to move on pretty fast from that era too !
Hmmm, now where is the off button, I need to do some exercise and get real again !
see ya

My girlfriend told me the new iMacs came out today.. and she told they were really thin and being the apple ***** that I am I immediately started thinking about getting rid of my iMac 2010 27 inch quad core.. nothing wrong with it but I love the thinness of the new one.
Then I saw this.. no DVD drive? R u serious? On a home computer?
I can give my perspective on what that means for me.
It means that all the DVDs of old shows I have been buying and watching in the kitchen with dinner, I wont be able to watch anymore. I can get all these DVDs at my local store, for much much cheaper.
Im not a tight wad, I have an iPhone 5, Macbook Retina 15, iPad 3, Apple TV, iPod etc.. I love Apple but cmon guys..
I cant pay $250 eveytime I want to watch a 10 year old series.. when I can buy a hard copy for $60.
Especially when the digital copy you can only watch on your mac or Apple tv, and the other you can watch on everything - without using your precious and expensive internet bandwidth. I thought going digital, and having more limited playing devices, meant cheaper product costs for us, since we are footing the bill for everything required to play.
Sorry, but I have just paid nearly $240 to watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm" on Apple.. and its great.. but I could have bought it for a 3rd of that price.. and then given it to someone when finished.
This might seem irrelevant to the discussion, but its a very real aspect of what the new iMac is saying to me.
Sorry Apple, but I upgrade nearly every 1-3 years all my different Apple products (Phone every year, macs every 2-3 years) but you cant tell me to kill off DVDs so i can buy all the digital content, which is so limited, and 3 times the price.
Actually I was up when the iPad got announced first.. I just bought my iPad 3 in July.. And I see today they released one, already twice as powerful, and real 4G on it! Not impressed the iPad 3 only came out in May didnt it? And we were told it was 4G!
I am NOT one of those people that complain when a new model comes out, I understand and appreciate this. Its technology it moves on or it doesnt sell. I had my iMac 2010 and didnt blink when 2011, 12 etc came out.
I had my iPad 2 and didnt care when iPad 2 or 3 came out.. fair calls.. Same when I had my old MBP, or Macbook and they got updated after time.. again this is completely reasonable in my eyes at least.
But this move today.. I dont know.. a bit too strong for my liking, and a bit too soon as well.. Hopefully its not a new direction cause quick updates will kill the resale market which is why so many of us are able to upgrade all the time also..
what do you guys think?

How do I burn a DVD on my new iMac to play on external DVD player

I have a new iMac at work (3.5 GHz Intel Core i7), running on OS X Yosemite, and I'm trying to figure out how to burn a DVD that can be played on an external DVD player. I have a disc burner connected, but just noticed that iDVD (the way I used to burn video files) is no longer part of my installed applications.
Thanks for any help.
JC

If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Softwareor eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
If you're creating a slideshow in iPhoto and want to add it to an iDVD project export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

How do I burn a DVD on my new iMac? It does not have iDVD

I have a new iMac that I can't get to burn a DVD that can be read in our DVD player. I have the videos in iMovie but the iMac doesn't have iDVD.

The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to destribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That has worked for some, but is not guaranteed to work for all.
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with Lion. You have to buy iLife 11 from online Apple Store in order to get iDVD. You are strongly recommended to do so soon as it will not be available for much longer.

Burn dvd/cd on new imac

I have the new imac and i´m goig to buy the apple external cd/dvd drive. Do i need to buy any software to copy and burn cd´s or dvd´s?

Hi ruiceu,
you can burn cd's and dvd's without any other software.
All what you need is the Disk Utility from your application-folder or the Finder.

I keep getting an error trying to burn DVD on brand new imac! Error code 0x8002006B

I have a brand new imac and the very first time I tried to burn a dvd I got error code 0x8002006B. I have had this computer only a few weeks. How does this problem get fixed? spend too much money to have a faulty computer!

OS X is not Windows and there is no need to "delete and reinstall" frequently
If you're non tech person or (like me) a bit lazy to perform tasks manually, get Onyx -> http://www.titanium.free.fr/ and clean up your system ocasionally.
For deleting applications use a tool like App Cleaner -> http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/25276/appcleaner
Run "Permissions Repair" and a clean up before and after each major update; e.g. 10.6.5 -> 10.6.7.
Update to 10.6.8 too, as 10.6.7 is a bit sluggish.
I've never delete, format or reinstall since 2008 and performed just a system disk swap from the old MacBook to the new one when my 2011 MacBook Pro arrived.
That was like eating a pie.
Open old one, pull disk. Open new one and changed disk's. Startup and waiting 3 minutes for completing hardware detection. Performed all necesary updates. Cleaned system, doing a permissions repair, reboot and my system runs as designed and expected.
Needless to mention that I have NO issues and everything on my new MBPro runs fine, fast and smooth.

Where is the disc insertion to play my DVDs on this new Yosemite??

I am in shock that I cannot find where to insert a DVD or other software disc in my new Yosemite Mac! Can this be real?

I don't know if all BluRays are Mac compatible though. I've ordered parts and gear for home and work from Other World Computing (macsales) for over a decade and never had a bad experience. OWC are very Mac friendly and Mac knowledgeable. They're based out of IL
Here is a list of externals that should all play well (pun intended) with mac, if not you can ask them.

Copying a DVD on an new iMac

First, forgive me for sounding like a complete novice. I recently purchased (Christmas 09) an iMac with the latest version of snow leopard, iLife, iWorks, etc.(was a PC user for last 15 years). My son has a DVD that was made for him by another parent of one of his High School basketball games. He needs to send a copy of this DVD to all of the colleges that he applies to. The DVD when it is inserted into the iMac automatically opens and displays a nice menu. Thinking I could figure it out, I inserted the DVD, right clicked on it and saw the commands "copy disk" and "burn disk". I copied the DVD, ejected it, inserted a blank DVD and hit burn disk. It copied and appears to be an exact copy (same folders, same files, etc). But when the copy is inserted into the iMac, it does not open and will not play in the system. With all this software it seems to me that there must be a quick and easy way to copy the DVD so that it will play in computers and home DVD players.
I would appreciate any assistance with step by step instructions on how to accomplish this goal.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Charlie

Sorry, you can't copy a DVD that way. DVDs are in a special format and what you did was create a DATA DVD.
See http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/making_dvdcopies.html for a way to do it with Disk Utility (in your Utilities Folder).

Why does dvd on my new iMac keep giving me the notice, DVD player closed unexpectedly whenever I try to open it or load a dvd?

I have had my imac a couple of days and when i went to play a dvd for my OU course I could hear the disc spinning then it stopped and told me "DVD player stopped unexpectedly"
Its my first Apple product other than my iPad 3 so I'm a little bit lost at how to fix it -.-

You coud try this reset
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.
Sometimes it helps, also make sure the DVD is impeccably clean.

How to transfer vhs home movies to dvd with my new IMac

I'm looking for suggestions from people who have been successful with any product that is not too difficult to use that will help me get my old home movies (vhs) to dvd and hopefully be able to do some editing in iMovie.

I have done lots of this.
You need, an Analog to Digital converter, iMovie, and iDVD. (You don't need a DVD player, just a VCR.)
VCR -> ADVC300 -> Mac. (DVDs come out of the Mac.)
To get your VHS video into iMovie, look at the Grassvally ADVC300. Audio and Video go in, FireWire comes out. It also comes with a nice Macintosh application that works flawlessly with iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11 (I have used it a few times with iMovie 09 and 11).
The program that comes with the ADVC300 has some nice filters that can improve video and audio of the source material. The ADVC300 will take Audio and Video from any source (VCR, Tivo, Satellite Receiver) and convert it to FireWire (iMovie will treat it like a camera).
http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc300
For maximum quality here is my procedure: ADVC300 > iMovie 06 > iDVD 11
I would use iMovie 06 with iDVD 09/11, why?
iMovie 09/11 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses ALL of the image to form the video.
If your primary workflow is editing DV clips and making DVDs, iMovie '06 is better suited. Your movie will arrive at iDVD in DV format, which is an ideal match for making a DVD: same resolution, same pixels aspect ratio, and original quality.
If you share your movie from iMovie 09/11, it gets re-rendered at 640x480 or less, and then iDVD upscales it back to 720x480. The end result is obviously not as good.
iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11 is a "lossless" combination.

I bought the new iMac Inte, where do i insert de CD?

It came with the Office Mac CD and I have no ideia where do i insert it

There is no DVD drive. You will need to buy an External DVD drive that connects to a USB port. Any brand will work. It does not have to be sold by or have the Apple name on it for it to work.
