Completely erase disc hard mac and set up in the new laptop.
Hello.
I'm hoping to completely erase my old mac and set up as a new to give to a family member. I tried going to disk utilities and erasure, but the options are grayed out and I can't seem to clear. Any help on this would be much appreciated!
Thank you
Freya

I need to reinstall Adobe Acrobat 11.0 I bought in 2014. I lost my hard drive and need to install the new hard drive. No idea what I'm doing! Thank you!

Hello everyone, I had to order a laptop for school. But it is still not there, so I had to install windows 7 and office 2010 on my old computer at home to do my school work. When my laptop is here, can I reinstall XP on my old computer and put my copy of windows 7 on the new laptop? Or is the product key now linked to my old computer?
If you have purchased commercial versions, then you're OK.
If you have bought OEM Windows 7 and activated, then the license is locked to the old PC (although you might try to discuss your case with MS)

I have 12 items on my old XP computer and need to install the new laptop of Win8
Where can I download install and what are the steps of the migration? The new computer is a laptop and does not have enough storage. That's why I'll be reorganizing all my photos folders and their migration to an external drive if it will have to rebuild the catalog.
You can download PSEv.12

I recently completed a 1 h 20 min film that took me a long time to do. IV ' e he has burned down and deleted.
I've copied and changed then burned about 5 cassettes VHS, some of them on a long hour and 3 1 hours. long. These projects are carried out, and I would like to continue with a new project, perhaps 3 h. long.

If so, uninstall, use the Adobe cleaning tool (Yes, it works for Premiere Elements):

Hi all. I am new and on a free trial right now.
How can I manage the preferences that LR do not take up space on my MAC hard drive and works only on the external hard drive?
Monthly payment included cloud storage?
Peut I manage backups? And how?

Hi amireos,
Yes, you can create your workflow where you can keep all your images on the external hard drive and the Lightroom catalog file as well.
If you start with Lightroom and then use the Destination location as external hard drive when you import your image of the external source such as a camera or SD.
If you already have your Images on the Mac HD drive, then play all your Image on the external hard drive first and then import images directly from there.
Finally, you can change the location of the Lightroom Catalog as well.
Default location: folder on the Mac Drive HD, there is folder called Lightroom that you can move on the external drive too (however catalog Lightroom can't memory space as its only import previews of the images is not the real image and full)
Once you move the file catalog Lightroom external hard disk, then you need to browse the catalog file when you launch Lightroom only once.
See thread: LR catalog moving on external hard drive
Let us know if it helps.
Kind regards

never had a disc of windows vista with the new laptop and no option to make a recovery disk, and I need to format my laptop to factory / clean, help!
How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

After installation > go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.
Save all data, because it will be lost during a clean installation.
See you soon.

It flashes inconsistently gray and the dock has transformed money! I tried to restore Mac OS and then also the same!
OS El CapitanThis can help:
Reboot safe mode (it is a slow process):
-stop of the mac
-Start up the mac in shift, press and hold until you see appear it to progress bar, so you can let go
-When everything started, connect
-Once connected, stop the mac once again, nothing else is necessary.
-restart normally.

Hello
You cannot transfer the operating system from one hard disk to another. But you can use the backup utility to backup data and restore it on the new hard drive.

Hello, my parents computer came RAM volume0 has failed and not be able to start. We went and brought a new hard drive, and its always say the same thing. Any ideas?
A message on the RAID 0 volume failed is a recognizable error message, but the news is not good.
RAID, by its nature, requires 2 or more drives. RAID = redundant Bay of independent (or inexpensive) disks
RAID 0 is the worst of the different RAID choices. It increases the performance of hard disk by spreading or striping, data on two disks so that he can read and write more quickly. Unfortunately, such a picture offers no protection of data - in fact, it increases the chances of loss of data since the failure of a disk in the array results in the loss of all data on both drives. RAID 0 configurations are standard on high-end and PCs graphics games and provide a performance gain measurable, albeit modest for games, graphics applications and other programs intense from the hard drive.
In view of the foregoing, the best course of action for you and your parents is to take the computer to a local computer professional - not a type of place BigBoxStoreUSA or GeekSquad.

Original title: recovery of original windows 8
When I bought the new device, it was loaded with windows 8 but a few days before my hard drive has been corrupted and replaced it with the new hard drive but could not get the real Windows back 8.
Please help me to get my windows genuine 8 back so I could get additional updates downloaded.
Hello Vishal,
Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.
If you purchased a computer with installed OEM Windows 8 on it, there could be a sticker on the Tower, or in the back (in the case of a laptop) with the product key to this topic. If there is no sticker, he can be preinstalled on your system BIOS.
See the suggestions posted by Andre Da Costa replied on March 7, 2013.
In addition to this, see:
Product key lost or misplaced (certificate of authenticity) for Windows
If the problem persists, you can contact the manufacturer of the hardware for the same thing and check.
Hope this information was useful.
