• Can not activate CS4 Web Premium after the upgrade Hard Drive Mac OS x 11.3

  I can't access any program now CS4 after upgrade my hard drive to an SSD. I get a small dialog box saying "license for this product has stopped working. Error code 150:30"MacBook Pro, OS X 11.3 (el Capitan). The chat tech support person told me that CS4 is "not compatible" with El Capitan, but I've been using Cs4 for several months now with El Capitan, so it's not true.

  In the past, when I've got a new Mac or upgraded the operating system, I had the opportunity in an Adobe dialog to enter my serial number in, but this is not the case now.

  Nothing has changed since this morning except my newly upgraded hard drive. Except that this time I don't have a way to enter my serial number and reactivate.

  Can anyone help?

• External hard drive will not mount after the update of the Sierra

  Hi, I have an a Segate 1 TB external hard drive that I have with my MacBook Air. After upgrading to Mac OS Sierra, he refused to climb and is therefore invisible in the Finder. Disk utility detects the drive in NTFS initialized and said that all the space has been used. I tried to mount it first through disk utility, but it did nothing. Then I tried via terminal, but he returns "failed to mount. It worked fine before and also works very well on a MacBook Pro running Yosemite. It may be nothing to do with the player, as all files are intact when it is connected to the other Mac. Also, I restarted in Mac utilities and run from there disk utility, and it detected the drive, mounted and fully initialized, with the right amount of space being exhausted.

  I am looking for a solution that does not copy the files off and reformatting if possible, but I'll give it a go, if it comes to that. Thank you very much.

  Most likely your Seagate drivers are not updated.

  NTFS is most likely the culprit here.

  Go to the Seagate site and download and install the latest drivers for your drive and NTFS.

• Hard drive MacBook Air full when using only iclouddrive

  Can anyone help please.  I'm sure that its very simple.  I have a Macbook Air and create books for children.  I saved all the files on my iclouddrive account, thinking that I don't use space on my hard drive!  However, my hard drive is now complete.  I thought by storing all my files on the cloud, the hard drive of my computer would be pretty empty, after all this is why I bought a Macbook Air!  I asked for support to an apple store and they said that some Macbook Air have a bug that duplicates files and I need to check the files are uploaded on my drive to iCloud and then re - install the OS on my MBAir to get rid of the bug

  3 questions: it will work.  Y at - it a simpler way and he will wipe away the files on iCloud drive at the same time or they will be safe until I have access again to my newly cleaned MBAir?

  help most appreciated.

  If you have the Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud drive turned on, then all files that you have stored in iCloud drive to https://www.icloud.com/ will have a local copy on your Mac. It's not a bug, this is how it is designed to work. iCloud Drive is mainly designed for the synchronization of data between devices and is not intended as a storage cloud solution only.

• Not able to see the icon for the external hard drive on my desktop after upgrade to Sierra

  Dear all,

  I am new to Mac and the OS, I have a Macbook Pro... recently, I upgraded the OS to imed, and since after that, whenever I connect my external DRIVE to Seagate drive in my macbook pro, I don't see the icon on my desktop and as a result, I can't access my files on my HARD drive. However when I check in disk utility, it shows the HARD drive it.

  I could help out me here to ask you to please!

  Kind regards

  If it's a NTFS formatted disk, then you must update the Paragon NTFS of Seagate driver (available on their support site).

• Hard drive Mac and PC compatibility

  Hi, I just bought a new MacBook Pro that runs on Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.5. The computer I used before is a Dell XPS 13 10 Windows running. I have a 1 external Toshiba Canvio Slim ii hard drive to keep everything. I know that, so that my hard drive Toshiba be compatible with the new OS X, it must be formatted, but I will be losing all my data (260 GB total). I want to know if this option works for me:

  I bought a LaCie 1 TB hard drive Portable Porsche Design with my new computer. Am I able to format my LaCie hard drive to have read/write on PC and Mac, then after it is formatted successfully, I plug it into my Dell with my Toshiba hard drive computer, drag and drop my data from my hard drive to my drive Toshiba hard LaCie (using my computer Dell Windows), and then have everything on my LaCie hard drive ready to be read or written on my new MacBook Pro (Mac) and on my Dell XPS (PC)?

  If not, what are my other options?

  My main goal is to be able to use one of these hard drives on my Mac and PC without having all my data erased. The trick is to get one of these drives compatible to use for my Mac and PC if I need to turn off the power from one to the other without losing my data. In addition, I want to be able to have all of my data stored on these drives ONE and not both. I want all in one place, rather than in two separate places.

  Thank you

  Windows in your Dell himself player will be in NTFS format. Standard a Mac can read NTFS but cannot format or write on NTFS. I have no idea what format the Lacie will come initially as, but for arguments sake lets say it will be HFS + which is the standard format used by Macs. Like standard Windows can't read or write disks HFS +.

  It is possible to format a hard drive on a Mac (or PC) as a format ExFAT. This format is readable and writable by Mac and PC. It cannot be used as a startup disk either on, or can it be used as a Time Machine backup of Mac disk. ExFAT is however very well to use as a disk transfer.

  It is possible to get additional software for the Mac to put into shape and the read/write to NTFS volumes. See https://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/

  It is possible to get additional software for Windows to allow it to format and write to HFS volumes +. Seehttp://www.mediafour.com/software/macdrive/

  Seagate, a maker of hard drives made a deal with Paragon Software as listed above. This agreement means a disk Seagate comes already formatted in NTFS and includes a copy of 'free' the Paragon on all your Mac software to read and write on this NTFS drive. See http://www.seagate.com/gb/en/support/downloads/item/ntfs-driver-for-mac-os-maste r - dl /

  I'd be a little worried about the above 'free' copy of Paragon Software in that a) is it still news?, and b) is the version of the software up to date so that it still works in El Capitan on a Mac. Older versions of the software will not work in El Capitan.

  A different approach, you might consider using "Migration Wizard" of Apple software to transfer files over a computer network between Macs and Windows PCs. See move your data from a Windows PC to Mac - Apple Support and the Migration of Windows Wizard v1.0.5.7 the concern here is that this tool does not appear to have been updated for Windows 10, it may or may not work so in Windows 10.

• My EliteBook 2760p had a hard drive failure and now, after replacing, it works a lot slower

  Good afternoon!

  I have a serious problem with my EliteBook 2760p!
  About two months ago, my EliteBook had a disk failure hard and after more than two weeks of control and test.
  the hard drive has been replaced, and I received my EliteBook return.
  I immediately saw that the previously installed Windows 7 with Croatian language pack and MS Office starter edition
  has been replaced with an English version of Windows 7 without the starter edition of MS Office.
  I also noticed that my EliteBook was significantly slower than it was before the change of hard disk!
  This situation was unacceptable, and I took my EliteBook serving for additional repairs.
  The gentleman of the function COS ZEL in Zagreb took a week or so more to test and verify everything
  out and then he said that "they are not the error I described, and I can now pick up my EliteBook.

  My EliteBook is always in this State and is considerably slower than it used to be!
  Even more, the screen does not "flip" when I turn. In addition, the buttons at the bottom of the screen,
  do not work.

  I would like to know where I can go do my EliteBook restored to the exact state as I initially have bougth inside
  or be replaced by the new EliteBook under warranty because this state my EliteBook is online is not
  acceptable or feasible.

  Kind regards

• External hard drive is not recognized after Windows Update

  Original title: XP Pro wants to install driver for external hard drive that is Plug-and-Play

  I think that using Windows Update can cause problems (unintentinally or not) for users of Windows XP.

  In a series of accidents with an old computer and reinstall the XP Pro operating system, I discovered that MS Money installing only if it was made before the Windows updates.  (planned obsolescense?) The issue has to do with the removal of the registry AUTORUN file. INF for some new and improved files through Windows Update.  Before the updates, the file exists, and I could install MS money.  After updates, AUTORUN. Missing INF file of the registry.

  Now, I encountered a new problem, and I think that it is also a result of Windows Update.  My external hard drive to IDE, that worked perfectly before on this computer (newer), is no longer recognized and want to reinstall the driver.

  The problem is that it is a Plug-and-Play device, and no driver was needed before updates.  I read somewhere in my many attempts to find a solution that the MS Plug and Play system was replaced by a universal version of this feature (UPNP?)

  It's on a more recent, computer replacement, which came not with a copy of the Windows XP Pro operating system, and I can't just reformat the hard drive and start all over again.

  Someone else has encountered this, and if so, have you found a solution?

  Double Post suite-

  Where is my external hard drive?

  I'm under XP Pro on a Dell Optiplex PC with all the current Windows updates (SP3. Net4, etc..) and last month, I added a USB IDE hard drive. the hard disk enclosure is MASSCOOL, and I used a 250 GB Seagate Barracuda7800. The car worked perfectly until this week. I had the Windows Update critical update automaticlly value and security updates.

  The hard drive has disappeared from "my computer." I tried to plug and unplug in different USB ports, restarted the computer, but continues to receive the "new hardware detected by saying me that new hardware has been detected and that I need to install the necessary driver.

  The problem is that Seagate does not provide any driver for this drive, because it is supposed to be (and was so far) recognized by the Plug-and-Play of Windows XP software. The hard drive enclosure came with a mini CD, but this contains software to use the unit as a back-up, not for storage.

  I can't understand that this change suddenly to believe that something in the Windows updates that have been installed recently changed the command structure, registry files or the drivers themselves.

  I know this is possible, because I've seen what's happened to any program that relied on self. INF file that was originally part of XP. This resulted in programs like Microsoft Money and older versions of MS Office, not being able to be installed by those of us who are not 'technically lit.

  I'm here in left field, or other people have had similar problems? And is anyone know how to solve this dilemma?

• Deleting files on hard drive Mac - LR6 - 10.10.3

  Well gang... I am a newbie to Lightroom... but... I am developing a workflow that allows me to "reject" or simply delete images - both of my LR catalog and permanently delete files from my external hard drive.

  By hitting the DELETE key - I get a dialog box that asks if I want to "Remove" the photo from my LT catalog or "remove disc" which removes the photo of my LT catalog and permanently deletes the photo in my TRASH.

  

  What is happening now:

  After you have selected a photo, I hit the button "remove disc". Lightroom goes the picture to the TRASH, but she LEAVES also my original photo in my folder from the Finder, in a sense duplicate the photo, leaving the original where it was and put a duplicate in the TRASH. It's not good, I want to permanently delete this file.

  With the help of LT6, Mac OSX 10.10.3... I tried to reset privileges (shift-option) with no improvement.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you for the help... Dale

  Looks like you already have a copy of the file on your hard drive and Lightroom is removal of one of them. It is possible that you have imported the images into Lightroom uses the 'Copy', which essentially would have copied your pictures in the pictures folder? Your originals may still reside in their original location. Do a search on your computer to make sure that you do not have duplicates.

• Photo very slow download on iCloud drive, Mac Air 2009, El Capitan

  I hope someone can help... I installed El Capitan on my Mac Air since end 2009 and since improved Air and iPads to iCloud by car. Are my approximately 9000 pictures on Mac Air download at a speed of max 50 per hour. Also I don't see any files or folders in the Finder/iCloud drive. Something clearly happened because my network has significantly slowed down. Is this normal?

  Thanks in advance!

  You synchronize these photos with your iCloud photo library?

  If so, you won't see them in your iCloud drive. The library and iCloud drive are 2 separate areas.

  Don't you have optimize activated? It takes much more time for a large library like yours.

  Your download speed depends on your wifi. It is generally not as fast for most users as the download speed.

• G62: New hard drive does not start after recovery.

  I installed a new hard drive after my old a bi dust.

  I ran the recovery from the discs of HP.

  After formatting the disk and copy files, it won't boot from the disk.

  I changed the boot order and tested the drive in the BIOS.

  What Miss me?

  The new hard drive sometimes requires to prepare first with utility cd from Cyberlink. Download and save the file. Once the download is complete, place a blank cd in your drive and click on the file to create a boot cd. Start with this cd and wait until you get a green check mark indicates the hard disk is ready. Remove the cd, insert the first disc of recovery and restart the laptop.
