Installation after laptop hard drive failure and replacement laptop with Mac instead of Windows
I have a disk with two licenses for Lightroom 4.
A license is on your Windows 7 Desktop and the other license on a laptop HP Windows
The portable hard drive is dead.
one) can I re install from the disc with the same serial number on a new laptop?
(b) it was suggested to replace my laptop with a Mac laptop. Will I have problems installing on a Mac and/or Exchange catalogs with the existing Windows desktop
(c) if I buy Lightroom 5 upgrade, can I only go to one or the other computer (laptop or desktop)?
Thanks for any help or suggestion
Hi RStyle1,
Answers are below:
(a) Yes, you can use the same disc and serial number to install on a new laptop, if you get an activation error message, you need to contact Adobe technical support.
(b) the same serial number works on Windows and Mac.
(c) you can always use Lightroom 4 If you upgrade to version 5, it is up to you to use both versions on machines at your disposal.
Thank you!

I can't save Acrobat 8 standard after a hard drive failure and keep getting an error every time I try and use it. Is that what I can do to get rid of the message. The message reads "a problem has been experienced while trying to send information on the internet.
Hi philh76405255,
I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Please refer to the following solution: -.
(1) find the file acrobat.exe on your computer. Right-click on the program and click "troubleshoot compatibility". Set the compatibility of the operating system installed on your computer.

hard drive failure and replacement of the laptop pavilion dv6-1000
It seems that the hard drive has failed in the laptop. When I run a test gives me a message 3f0 and hard drive does not exist. Tried to start the repair system and the operating system not found. Would fix with the image of the system. No found boot device. Conclusion: new hard drive required. The laptop drive is a seagate momentus 320 GB 5400,6. Do I have to replace it with a new seagate or can I use a Western Digital with the same 320 GB, 5400 rpm? Thank you in advance.
Hello:
WD should be fine and if you want to use a disc 7 200 RPM faster seek time (at a small cost of battery life between charges) you can go with this too.

I have a Pavilion ^ notebook PC series - it's a G6-1b39wm, the product number is lw363ua #aba.
The hard drive was a total loss. I bought and installed a new hard drive and reinstalled Windows.
However, I have no drivers - ethernet, WiFi etc... - and they are no longer available on the HP Web site.
I feel as if I could at least get the driver installed ethernet, Windows could help me to find and install the other drivers.
All I have for the ethernet is that it has integrated 10/100 Ethernet LAN.
ANY help would be appreciated deeply deeply.

Error msg "the serial number you entered is valid, but cannot find a product calling on this computer" appears. Impossible to reinstall CS5.5 on Macbook pro after the hard drive crashed and was changed.
Hello
Thank you for your response. I've finally managed to connect with a support staff through the online chat portal & advises him to download CS3 web premium. Tried to find it, but this option is not available in scrolling to the bottom of the box. Ultimately, the staff had to help me to unlock the CS5.5 update manually from its end. He indicated that, in my case, the situation could not be resolved through this method, and I'd still have to contact support via the portal chat staff to help unlock my CS5.5 If this problem occur again should I need to reinstall it on a new computer laptop.

After a hard drive failure I buy adobe acrobat?
I buy acrobat after a hard drive failure?
Lol you can probably download Acrobat through the following page (depends on the version - download and Installation Help) and use your serial number for it to activate it. You should be able to find your serial number through your Adobe account online. You can also find a download for Acrobat there if you bought through Adobe download.

After a hard drive crash and recover most of my files on an external hard drive which eventually became my only internal, but because I live on an island in South America and there's hardly anyone on the island I live who can help other that a friend, I took a trip to Miami to visit the genius bar and they did a new install of Capitan which I don't really like by the way. In any case, I though I had lost all my iPhoto library, but I managed to find my photos. Only now I have two libraries... the iPhoto with images from my Photos on Capitan and 8 years. Is it possible to consolidate them in a library? And can I still use RAW to be able to edit photos? aIso, y at - it a tutorial for the Photos?
In the future more facts and less editorial help here
SO now, we know all about how you feel but nothing on your system or your problem
What version of El Captain do you have (10.11.3 is the current version with Photos 1.3)
You cannot merge libraries without third party software - Photos of power can merge pictures libraries
You can migrate iPhoto libraries to libraries of Photos by dragging Photos icon in the Dock
When you first launched the Photos it has migrated the last used for Photos iPhoto library
I hope this will help, but to get specific answers, you need to provide real information and not feelings

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

Hard drive failure and question graphic
Hello
I use Vista 64 bit. When I start my PC I get an error stating "detected hard disk failure. Please back up your data immediately. ». Then when I press on enter, vista starts booting. However, as soon as this happens my screen freaks out and becomes all pixelated and torn. The colors are mostly purple, red and blue. I have no idea what is the problem. I tried to reformat my hard drive, but it does not solve the problem. Also, I sometimes get an error blue solid screen telling me to contact the manufacturer. Unfortunately, the warranty has expired and I decided to try to fix it myself (mostly because the manufacturer said I was on my own).
I only had the laptop for a year and worked a lot, until recently. I don't think I have a virus but I tried to install the new display drivers before this happened. I thought that this could be the problem, but I rolled back drivers, and after the reformat, nothing has changed.
Hope I gave enough info, I really don't want to dropping $ 1,500 per year for a laptop a habit... Help, please!
Jon
Your hard drive has failed or you have other components of the motherboard not too. You must replace dead components, do not try and reinstall anything. And it's a perfect example of why the couple of hundred dollars costs for an extended warranty on a laptop are a good thing. Here you have a laptop mostly newish which can have a dead motherboard and it will be very expensive to replace. You can buy a new portable hard drive, reinstall Windows and hope it is everything that was wrong with the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Hello
Because you replaced the hard drive, your windows product code can not be validated. I suggest you to change the product key by using the product key. Follow the steps mentioned below.
Method 1:
I suggest you to update your product key. Click on the link below.
Update your Windows product key
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/help/genuine/product-key?displaylang=en
Use the new product key and check if the problem persists.
Method 2:
If method 1 does not work then, I suggest you to make a phone on the system activation. Click on the link below.

Genuine Windows clean install
Hello
I had a problem with my laptop Acer Extensa 5230th. It was not started and so I took for Matech computers. They diagnosed as having a mechanical drive problem. So they replaced the drive and installed a more recent version of windows vista on. Note: I haven't bought a new copy of vista family premium, he said he was going to reinstall vista. It had windows Vista Home Basic, it has installed vista Home premium and said that he had validated by call from windows, but I'm suspicious because I don't think you can use a base of windows key to validate Home premium! It means that he has put on an illegal version on windows or used the genuine key that came with the laptop.In addition, on computers of brands, if this happens again, how is a technician for legally to reinstall the original windows that it came with the new hard drive? How to install windows vista basic on the new hard drive by using the original key to make it genuine? What windows installation disc would you require? or is it easier to just buy a new copy of windows? I heard that many technicians, prefer to install illegal versions of cracking of windows instead of the customer to buy the new installation of windows.Kind regardsLewisHere are some utilities which displays product key Vista Matech used to activate Windows:

Windows Update does not work after the hard drive has been replaced
Hello
I have the same problem, replaced in my Toshiba HD, rebuild from Sysimage, Windows Update does not work. A ran "fix the problem with the Microsoft Windows Update is not working.
Problem still exist.
The message that I got while trying to update: "Windows Update cannot currently check updates,
because the service is not running. "You may need to restart you computer.
Stop and then restart the service, still no luck.I ran Windows troubleshooting. He finds two problems with Windows Update components, it corrects.
The problem still exists.The other post:
Another interesting fact:
After the reconstruction the new disk, user account control does not recognize Windows programs.
for example: execution of Perfmon.exe, the Publisher is unknown! However, when I download the program Windows FixIt, Publisher is recognized as Microsoft Windows. It seems that user account control does not recognize the Windows programs that had found the new HD, but acknowledges those who is downloaded from the internet.
I guess there is a problem with the license, Windows was preinstalled on the Toshiba and replace the hard drive could have caused a few conflicts of licensing.Separated from the:
The same problem. Cloned old HD on a larger hard drive. Everything worked perfectly except NO indexing and update WITHOUT windows - the two recurring problems that seem to appear on the forums after a change of hard disk.
INDEXING resolved with change to "Intel rapid storage technology." Google what I put in quotes, choose the Download Center and get the specific to your OP and the controller software.
UPDATES have been a little more frustrating. The microsoft .fixes and convenience stores were without help.
Go to control panel / system and Maintenance / administration tools
Select Services
Stop the Background Intelligent Transfer Service
Stop Windows Update
In 'My Computer' go to Windows / Software Distribution
Right-click "DataStore" folder. Rename it to Datastore.old
Rename the folder 'Download' Download.old
Return to Services and restart the Background Intelligent Transfer Service and Windows Update.
Look for the updates. It will take some time because you deleted the database.
I hope this helps!
