Wiped hard drive now i cant deactivate account. What can i do?

Hey,
I wiped my Mac hard drive after getting a new machine. I didn't think to deactivate my accout from my old machine befor wiping the hard drive. What can i do about this as i want to put Creative Cloud on two new machines?
Thanks for your help.

Hey Dools_dowling,
you need not worry about deactivating the program if you are using the Creative Cloud Subscription.
It automatically deactivates the previous machines if the activation limit is reached & that is the best part of using the subscription.
Thanks

There's no way to "restore" your phone, but, you can login to iCloud.com, using your computer, locate your phone, then erase it.

Installed itunes on ext. hard drive, now I cant import a cd???

I just installed itunes on my external hard drive (connects to my laptop via USB). Now, when I put a CD into my laptop - nothing happens. It does not appear under the source list. If I choose import, then find the disc it shows tracs and will allow me to import one by one but does not attach album info or song names!
Any ideas????
Thanks

Look at these links. May be some assistance.

Backed up itunes to a hard drive, now we cant play any of our music unless harddrive plugged in. And we cant drag any music onto devices! Please help, thanks.

Hi there
Our desktop computer was painfully slow so backed up everything to hard drive (as 1 file) and did factory restore to computer. We have managed to get our photos and documents back to our pc but have struggled with itunes. We now have all our music there in our library but can not play any of it unless the hard drive is plugged in (says cannot locate the file when not plugged in). I manually consolidated files for one album which now means it will play without hard drive but I can't drag that to our iphones & ipods. Please help! Thanks.

*Also...is there any way I can filter out all the tracks with the ! so I can delete the unplaying copies as they're taking up room in my iTunes? I know how to find duplicates, but then I have to go and delete each one individually...*
*Thank you!*

Changed hard drive now I cant move playlist to iphone.

So my hard drive died and I replaced it. Not a problem as I thought I kept everything on my external hard drive. But now when I plug in my iphone 5 in and try to move newly created playlists across, it wont let me, says this phone is locked to my old hard drive and the only option is to wipe my phone and start again. I just want to move new playlist on to my phone.

This is correct.
iphone will sync with one library at a time. Syncing to a new one will indeed erase the current content.
Just put everything on the new hard drive from your backup copy and sync your iphone.

HT204370 I have changed my internal hard drive on my macbook pro. I have put old hard drive into a capsule and have this plugged into my laptop. I can't find the movies on my old hard drive now? Any idea how I can move them to iTunes again? cloud taking H

I have just changed my internal Hard drive on my MacBook pro. I had recently downloaded some movies on iTunes which I want to put into my iTunes library on my new internal hard drive. I have put my old internal hard drive into an external capsule but when I open the icon of the hard drive from the desktop I can't find my movies.
At the moment I have the new movies downloading again from the cloud but it is literally taking hours for even one movie to load.
When I changed the internal hard drive I restored my info from my old external hard drive which hadn't been backed up in a month and hence does not have my latest movies...
I am concerned that I might go over my internet usage limit (flatmate is refusing to change to unlimited package!!!!) by downloading all the movies again from the cloud never mind how long it is taking...
Is there any way to restore all my info and media from the old internal Hard drive in the capsule as well as from the external hard drive?

It means there is no bootable system on the drive. If you still have access to the old drive, then I suggest you boot from it then clone it to the new internal drive. Use OPTION boot to boot from the Recovery HD on the old drive:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Source means the external old drive. Destination means the new internal drive.

OS X Mavericks does not recognize my hard drive as start up disk. What can i do? I own an iMac early 2009

I recently downloaded OX Mavericks and run the installer. But at the moment of choosing the start up disk, it didn't allow me to use my internal drive as start up. Any ideas how to fix this issue?
Your comments are most welmcome. Thank you

Thank you. That's what I thought will need to happen.
One more question. I tried using the Apple install disk that came with the computer. It's an OS 10.5.6 disk. It does not see my 10.6.8 system internal hard drive to repair. All it see's is itself 10.5.6 disk. Do you think I can use a 10.8+ disk utillity since that is a higher system it will see the 10.6.8. Where the 10.5.6 does not?
I don't want to turn the computer off for fear I'll get the question mark again. P-Ram got me going last time but for how long I don't know? It would be nice to be able to turn the computer off for the night and startup as usual to give it a rest and try to reset itself.
Thanks for your help, I know I will eventually need to re-install. But I am in the middle of a project with tight deadlines and all I can do right now is back-up. Trying to migrate to another computer temporarily to finish the job. That's a lot of extra work in the short time also.
Just trying to put a band-aid on it for another couple weeks.

Recover data from wiped hard drive?

Hi everyone.
I’ve searched through the discussions unable to make any concrete conclusions to resolve my dilemma so I hope someone here can help me out if possible.
My Macbook Pro 13 inch (late-2011) running Mavericks had its hard drive recently wiped by an Apple technician after I took it in following problems.
I stupidly didn’t back up any files onto an external hard drive or in TimeMachine when my hard drive was working before. However, from reading these discussions it appears other people with wiped hard drives have been able to recover data with some success. I’d like to know if this is at all possible in my situation?
To put my dilemma into some context, only days ago my Macbook began to freeze up. Eventually I had to force shut down with the power button as the computer became unresponsive.
Afterwards, when I turned on the computer the OS would not load past the grey screen with the apple logo. I attempted to perform a boot in Safe Mode but encountered the same problem. Then the computer would only shut down at this point each time I tried to turn the computer on again. Naturally I took it to my local Apple store and had a ‘Genius’ check it out.
After attempting to load the OS, I stupidly agreed with the Apple technician that the hard drive should be wiped (being less educated then about hard drives than I am now). I’ve been kicking myself ever since then thinking at the time a broken/corrupted hard drive meant that the data was already lost and that it was safe to wipe the hard drive in order to perform an ‘Internet Recovery’.
The Internet Recovery for Mavericks however failed and the Apple technician offered to replace the Hard Drive for a small ransom.
I’ve since tried to turn the Mac on at home and the grey screen still appears this time with a flashing folder with a question mark.
I know I have to go and buy a new hard drive and replace the existing one. But I still would like to know, is the data on the old hard drive able to be recovered or are my files lost forever since the Apple technician ‘wiped’ my hard drive?
I’m willing to download the software and get the hard drive in order to retrieve any data if it is at all possible.
Thank you for any help.
Hayden

Can i install an operating system on a mac with a wiped hard drive?

I recently got a used mac tower from a supplier, and it has a wiped hard drive, the supplier did not reinstall the mac operating system, so I need to know if I may need to pay to have it installed for me or get a CD and license key like windows?

Start with Snow Leopard.
Snow Leopard Purchase
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space

I had to change my hard drive, now i'v tried to reinstall itunes it says i have to restore my iopd touch to factory settings and will loose my files. I have a few films on there and they show up on my purchases.If i restore, will i be able to get my films back ? as at the moment my ipod wont work now untill i restore anyway.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Here's how to:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your ipod to your computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.

Using an external hard drive now my time machine is broken

Hi All,
i have an external hard drive now my time machne has overheated and failed
this works fine with time machine
Is it possible for me to backup my windows pc to this external hard drive???
thanks in advance
Jason

I guess the external drive is hanging off the Mac..
Getting access to the drive from PC should be possible.. you may need to move public directory onto the external drive and then set up permissions to do it.. I have not done it and simply would not do it.
External hdd are cheap enough buy one for the pc.. That is then formatted NTFS which windows is going to natively read.. this will be much easier if the backups are ever required than to use HFS+ formatted disk hanging off the Mac.
You can also get your dead TC fixed.

i just saved my iphoto original library to my external hard drive, now how do i create new space on my hard drive and create a new iphoto library

Trash the copy of the library you just moved. Then Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
But do you want to have two iPhoto Libraries? Why not just use the one on the External?

Files on external hard drive now Inaccessible

Hello,
I am currently using a 2010 13 inch 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook and running OSX Lion (I upgraded in July from Snow Leopard). I have recently come across a problem with my computer recognizing files that are on my external hard drive.
This past Friday (October 7th, 2011), I connected my external hard drive to a PC running Windows XP in order to copy a file over for school. The file that was copied over was a folder containing GIS (Geographical Information Systems) -related files. These files are not usable on Macs because the ArcGIS software is only available on Windows. In the past, these files have of course not been recognizable but it had no influence on my computer's ability to recognize all of the other files on my external hard drive. When I plugged the hard drive back into my Mac this past Sunday (October 9th, 2011), none of the folders or files that were previously there were visible. Instead, the hard drive contained files of the same names as my folders and with the extension ".lnk" Apparently this is some sort of Windows file. The strange thing is, I have connected to PCs running Windows XP before and this has not happened in the past.
To reitterate, my external hard drive was full of folders which had been usable by both Macs and PCs alike, but now they are no longer visible and instead all that is viewable on my external hard drive are files with the extension ".lnk" My Mac has always been able to view these files, but now they no longer appear.
Strangely enough, when I connected my external hard drive to my professor's MacBook Pro (I'm not sure of the specifications) running OSX Leopard, all of my files and folders were visible and useable. The files with the ".lnk" extension remained, but the files and folders that were not visible on my machine were now visible and useable.
Currently, when I plug in and open my external hard drive on my Mac this is what I see. Normally all of these files (except the MediaID.bin file) would appear as normal blue folders, but as you can see, they are no longer accessible. How can I fix this? Is there a way that I can get my Mac to start recognizing the files on my external hard drive again? Or do I have to revert to an older version of OSX? Please help!
Thanks!

.lnk file are alias file on windows. Such alias coudn't be read by Mac OS X.
The strange thing is, that there are folders visible on your professors MacBook.
Open Terminal.app (Applications > Utilities) and type in
ls -la /Volumes/DATA
Hit enter and post the output here.
