Will I be able to reinstall and activate cs4 on an upgraded Macbook pro?
CS4 question: i'm upgrading my macbook pro with a Crucial 512gb solid state hd and 8gb of memory. The drive is an mx100. I'm told by Adobe chat to deactivate the license before uninstalling the software before the upgrade is done. Then to install from my original discs and activate the previous license on the new drive. Do you see anything i may have missed in these instructions that might cause it not to work? Would this new hard drive and memory make cs4 incompatible to run on this upgraded Mac? So scared I'll have to subscribe to the cloud! Thanks for any help you can give to alleviate my fears.
First off be sure you have updated to 10.10.1
I have helped someone else install Photoshop CS4 on Yosemite, so it does work.
As a precaution, run a permission repair on your boot volume from Disk Utility.
I would go for a fresh installer instead of the discs. Get it here:

If I bought a season pass on Apple TV (2nd Gen), will I be able to download the episodes onto my iMac or MacBook Pro?
Yes. After you purchase the season pass go to iTunes and pull down Store > Check for Available downloads.

After months of failed attempts, I finally got mountain lion loaded on my macbook pro. Shortly thereafter I received an email saying my id had been used to access icloud. During the setup process, I unchecked the icloud box so I am not sure whether this is normal or has someone else using icloud with my id. I am pretty sure that I did not select iclout for set up.
Don't worry I've sorted it! I just had to turn off Reminders as well in iCloud. Calendar then worked fine, even when I turned Calendar and Reminders back on.

Will we be able to talk and surf with the iPhone 6?
Does anyone know if we will finally be able to talk and use the web etc on the iPhone 6?
The devices also include support for Voice over LTE (VoLTE) which allows users to make higher-quality phone calls over LTE. VoLTE will also allow users on CDMA networks like Verizon to use voice and data simultaneously for the first time.

I have saved photos in Iphoto and have burned them to a disk. I want to send the disk to a friend who is a PC user and doesn't have IPhoto. She has Picassa. Will she be able to open and edit the photos from my disk on her PC in Picassa?
Thanks. That's a great relief. Do you know if the photos will be correctly formated or will they change in Picassa?

I ordered the disk to update to Snow Leopard. Did that so I could get the App Store. Did that so I could download Lion. After I installed Lion my MacBook is super sluggish. Takes like 6 seconds just to open a drop-down menu in Finder.
I have been backing up. Will LaCie D2 QUADRA with firewire restore my apps back onto my MacBook Pro if wipe my drive using the USB Lion OS stick (which I think I'll have to buy even though I downloaded the new OS online)? I have been plugging my laptop into the Lacie drive set on "auto" and it's been working great.
One Genius said yes "you will get everything back" but my Mac buddy says "say goodbye to most of your apps". Then a guy at the university I asked "do you have a disk image". And I said "what the **** is a disk image?".
Is the problem that I installed an OS on top of new OS without wiping the drive? Or, is my MacBook Pro too old? Do I need to buy a new one?
15-inch, Late 2008

Any help?SA will indeed transfer accounts, files and apps at first start. Can do so even faster if you clone the internal HDD onto the external (just split into a partition large enough to contain it) and then use it as the source. Probably faster than Time Machine too. The safest and quickest way to do a disk image or clone is using CarbonCopyCloner (free), and it will preserve the Lion Recovery Partition too.
Since you'll have to re--download the Lion installer again, note that you can concoct your very own Lion Installer USB Stick with it prior to reinstalling and not have to pay for the Apple-branded version. See Kappy's tutorial: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3786371?tstart=0
As for the sluggishness, I believe that a great part of the cause is that you only have 2GB RAM. Don't know if your Mac can take more but try at least to get to 4GB, if not 8GB. Should attempt this before messing with the reinstall, as this may get you what you want. -
If I upgrade to Mountain Lion on my iMac will I be able to open my Photoshop CS4 in order to resize
If I upgrade to Mountain Lion on my iMac will I be able to opwn my Photoshop CS4 in order to resize and adjust RGB of photos of my artwork? I use the Photoshop for very little else at this point in time.
Thank youHi Veraforvictory,
There are no known issues affecting compatability with OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and Photoshop CS4. As always, make sure you back up your hard drive before you update your operating system, but there should be no problem using Photoshop CS4 when you upgrade!

FaceTime is included in Lion. The App Store version is for 10.6. If you deleted it, restore it from a backup, or reinstall the Mac OS.

I am running my first backup on Time Machine using a Seagate external hard drive with a thunderbolt adapter and cable. I have a MacBook Pro 2011. It is backing up 11GB, and is telling me it will take approx two days. Is this normal?

I'm a first timer on this (or any) help site. I just installed Time Capsule. The first backup looks like it will take two days at the present speed. Can I close MacBook Pro and have first back up continue, and can I unplug tomorrow and plug in at work without affecting the backup?
Hi Oneinspirit,
Time Machine backups can be paused by choosing "Stop Backing Up" from the Time Machine icon on the right hand side of your menu bar ( ). Once you're ready to resume the backup, you can choose "Back Up Now" from the same icon.
Start a backup: Click the Time Machine icon in the menu bar, then choose Back Up Now.
Pause a backup: Click the Time Machine icon in the menu bar, then choose Stop Backing Up.
OS X Yosemite: Start, pause, and resume a Time Machine backup
