Issues related to the:
1. is it a good idea to install on this particular computer?

Thx a lot.

I would like to take some time to check out OWC; When I upgraded my MBP to a SSD, I bought a "kit" including an external enclosure. When I arrived, I have temprarily installed the SSD in the enclosure, plugged on the MBP, formatted and then made a clone of my system using CarbonCopyCloner. Then I swapped both drives according to their directions and video and was ready to go as the operating system is already installed.

Download CS5.5 on new macbook, old macbook to death
Last month my macbook pro with adobe creative suite 5.5 design premium student and teacher edition on it died without warning. I bought adobe creative suite 5.5 in June 2012 and it was installed on my old mac. I bought a new macbook pro with OS X Yosemite since then and I need to re-download the creative suite on it. I have a backup of the contents of my old macbook in an online backup program. I also have the original mail order with the order #, serial number and the same account information. Unfortunately, I can't find my original CD program.
Option 1. Cannot find the download links for CS5.5: when I log into my account, I used to buy the software there is no order history as it should be says ' we found no orders for your account. In the section products - approved product info is there with its name, version, serial number, date of the platform and record (19 June 2012). BUT I don't see a download link... How can I redownload my product?
Option 2. Is it possible or easier somehow to find backup of my old portable adobe creative suite program files and copy them to the new macbook? I think that an installer would be necessary, which would be wrong in my backup?
Thanks in advance!

Migration without CD: old Macbook Pro for the new Macbook Pro
I'm about to buy a new MacBook Pro and have AA Xl Pro on my 'old' Macbook but no CD and can't find my purchase info. Yikes! How can I do this? Thank you...
You are allowed to have two machines with facilities enabled, then you can leave the original as a backup if you wish. You don't want to think about the migration/transfer anything between machines for Adobe products... they must be installed using installation files. You can download the files at the link below.
Acrobat XI, X - http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
You will need your serial number. If you have registered the software when you initially installed then you might find that available in your account Adobe online.

Upgrade to the new operating system on the old MacBook Pro
I have an old MacBook Pro (13 "mid-2009). I can't upgrade to macOS Sierra because it is not supported. However, it has currently Mountain Lion installed on it, and I wonder what is the best route to find/install El Capitan now that it has been removed from the App store since the release of macOS Sierra.
Thanks for any help.

Hello, I have an old macbook in bad condition, I have been editing on final cut pro (6.0.6)
If I buy a newer computer (macbook)... with a NEW version of final cut... If I transfer all my info from my hard drive to the new computer, and if this newer computer has a new version of final cut pro, it will always show my "timeline" I have... to remember all my files?
If not... If I buy the same old version of final cut (6.0.6) and any transfer to another computer, my files will appear exactly as they did when I just changed my project?
Thank you for your help, if you need more information to answer this question correctly, please ask.

I need to install Chrome Remote Desktop on my old Macbook so I can use it on a trip. Remote Desktop chrome requires that I have to first download Google Chrome.

Internal SSD 256Go - Macbook Pro end of 2013 - has not detected
I bought the macbook pro 13 - end 2013 model Retina display early 2014. It was working fine until 2 days ago. Suddenly, "?" appears at startup (startup). I took the laptop to the authorized Center Apple in India where they mentioned it is a hard drive problem and must be replaced and provided a quote from 45000 + 3000(service charges) for replacement. This seems to be 45% of the actual costs for laptop (in what SSD - 256GB was also part of the total costs). I don't see that it's reasonable price because it is 45% of the cost of the laptop. It's very bad service from apple that I wasn't expecting and force me to buy a mobile best on the market to 45% of the cost of the laptop. Any hard disk cannot cost 45% of the overall costs of mobile.
Please suggest alternative solutions to ensure the functioning of the laptop.
Your service issue is not with Apple as such, but with the store you are dealing with.
The only option I can suggest id to buy a third-party SSD and install it yourself. The cost may be less than what you were quoted.

iPhone 6 not supported with old MacBook (10.6.8)
It's too bad that Apple "forces" of its customers to change their old Mac platforms, although it still works like a charm.
I have an old Macbook running 10.6.8 (latest version OSX supported them for this MB). All Apple applications are up to date including iTune.
I used to use this MacBook old (but still good enough) for light work such as the management of the iPhone. I used it for backup/restore/music/etc.. with my previous iPhone 5.
I changed my old iphone to a new iphone 5 6.
Unfortunately the iPhone 6 is not recognized by this version of iTune/Mac OS x.
So I can't restore my original backup (iPhone 5), and I can't save it no more.
So now, I see two options.
I buy a new Mac, but I don't have the budget for it, and in any case, I could not restoring my previous iPhone 5!
I rebuild my old legacy PC running Windows 7, which the windows of iTune version will support my iPhone 6.
Why this stupid decision to sell?
Forgive me Steve, wherever you are, but your company makes big mistakes. Stop innovation, lock platforms, loyal force customers to buy new platforms, and above all, you have lost the excellent advanced application such as an exhibition or the original "iPhoto"... really too many big mistakes.
I'm really disappointed
Hello, yves
Did Apple also 'force' to upgrade your iPhone without researching the software requirements of the Mac?
