Relocation of store bought XP to regain an new APPLE help paralles desktop HP machine.
After many improvements, disks, memory, video and operating system (for XP), I am retired this old HP Pavilion 9800. New machine is an iMac from Apple. I bought 'Paralles' intending to install XP as an additional OS, so I can continue to use my old and comfortable programs. Before starting I need some clarification Re: XP. As I said, I bought stand-alone store, installed XP on the HP, activated and registered. I still have the original packaging and "Product Key". I understand that it can me installed on a single computer, and that's fine. So, what is the best process to make this transition as painless as possible?
I don't know if it's possible, but I think I might just install XP with the original on the iMac first disk, and then after that all settings/configurations are complete and the transferred data I could find a procedure to turn off the HP and activate/register the iMac.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Hello
Yes, you can install Windows XP on your iMac PC. Subsequently, activate the product key on the iMac PC since you are no longer using the product key on the HP computer.
For the installation of Windows XP, you can follow this link.
Install Windows XP or Windows Vista on your Mac
For activation of Windows XP, you can follow these links:

Computer is running (a bit) on Windows 2000. I'd really like to come back in Vista. Machine bought came with virtually NO cd just a little but highly recommended to 'restore' cd I've completed this step, but obviously, they are not intended for this use - tried to start a 'restoration' by loading "disk 1" of my cd 4 - but find this one .dll after another is either missing, or does not contain the correct data. ".
I have the activation code for Vista - which means that I would really like to be able to install without having to pay as much as I already have the 25 digit key. Impossible to find anywhere on the site Microsoft that seems just... all I see is upgraded to various service packs.

The only people who can provide your recovery cd is the manufacturer of PC

I bought photoshop elements 13 in the Apple store installed en.
Adope photoshop elements 13 bought in the app store and install it on my new macbook pro
Who's going to the right.
When I try to open it, I click on the app and I get a window:
Please do not run this application from this application package. On the other hand, it please launch adobe photoshop elements 13 & 13 of your application folder adobe creative elements.
I don't know what to do now, because I can only click on the application.
I restart my macbook pro, but it does not help.
What is the problem and what to do?
You will need to re - install. Your download should always be available in the Mac App Store under "purchases".
Apple has had problems with expired security certificates that affect all applications downloaded from the Mac App Store. By Apple, we are told that all certificates have now been renewed in the future; If this error should not happen again. However, some people are still having problems. Here's a solution, has reported on Community Forums Adobe, who has worked for several users. Give it a try by following each step:
- Send the application of items in the basket
- Click on the trash in the dock, and then empty the trash
- Go to the App Store and disconnect
- Restart your Mac
- Back on the App Store and sign in again with your ID
- Go to your purchases and download and install the application item editor once again.

CS2 free version colors do not appear even as my store bought version cs2 - tried everything
I use a new version of windows on a new computer 8.1 - I was running win xp on an old comp when I went to install my old version of cs2 photoshop that I was forced to download a free cs2 version because mine is not supported more. I did a compatibility check as well on Windows 8 VS CS2 on several different websites and they all come in saying that it works very well. It appeared, but now I have a problem. Outside the registry screen will not go away (I registered successfully, it is always - I chose not register then, he always comes back), I have some color issues. First - know I'm not a techie by any means so I hope my terminology and description makes sense.
I have an old web project that I completed in CS2 on my win xp OS and software purchased in-store. It is perfect - I like. now, when I open files even on the new computer in victory with the cs2 version 8 free - blue colors are all purple. in cs2 right before opening jpg files - thumbnails appear ok until I click on the file once - which then shows the thumbnail in 'space' with the purple colors adobe - and Yes, the files of all them will open in photoshop with the evil purple colors as well. outside of photoshop, windows 8 and all the partners see the software these files correctly - even online, the site looks normal - the way I did originally it - asking some friends what they see, the feedback seems to be OK. If I draw something in bad purple hue and publish on the web, it appears on the web in the correct blue, I wanted in the first place.
in adobe, I don't see a lot of color settings and tried all - literally - different combinations (not really knowing what I'm doing). I even had some options set to maintain the embedded color profile with the image when opening which I thought was the solution: he opens all purple. so now I wonder whatever it is that I create, I have to ftp everything that I do on my site and view in a browser to make sure it's okay - it's obviously an ultimate waste of time and I can't go on like this.
I tried to get help on this through resources not adobe and had only answers to go into the color settings and other responses in a bad mood I should be upgrading to a newer version (I'm a starving artist and I'm already 'borrow' this new computer). I really want to run my store bought software as well - I don't want to run a free version, but it would not approve the serial number, saying: these servers are down.
so is this a problem of windows 8? It seems clear that the issue is in litigation of photoshop because the images are very well everywhere else, and photoshop has tons of color settings (I used the default values in my store bought cs2 and the free cs2 - originally, I have never changed a thing - never touched options at all.)
any help would be great - wish I could show a screenshot but no matter what, but when I capture in photoshop and then view outside of photoshop - color formats are very good...
It's a broken screen profile. Photoshop is one of the few applications that actually use the profile (color management).
Recalibrate, or if you do not have a stud, use sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1. Go to control panel > color management > devices:
Restart Photoshop so that he can pick up the new profile at startup.

Is there a way to download a store bought 12 elements from the internet?
My new iMAC doesn't have a DVD drive and I would like to install a new store bought 12 elements. I can only find trial versions to download on the internet. Thank you!
You can download trial versions and use the serial number of your purchase to activate the test of full use. There is no difference between trial and full use of the versions with the exception of the time restriction (that disappears when you activate the software).

I have a subscription to CC Photoshop and Lightroom. I bought a new Apple MacBook Pro last week. I had Adobe shadow my computer to download both programs on my computer. Downloads succeeded, but now my problem is that nothing has been transferred? I have photos and user presets on my old computer in lightroom, but nothing transferred. Also, it is show on this computer I have 5 Lightroom, but team support pulled up to my account today and downloaded lightroom cc if it still means something. I am a new photographer and green not computer savvy. I am totally confused with no further assistance from Adobe.
It's pretty normal. All your images are always on your old computer and you transfer those to your new computer. Just transfer them as well as your catalog file and opens in Lightroom on the new computer. For presets, you need to transfer files, preferences and presets that are hidden in folders hidden on the Mac. Therefore, with the Mac, when I update the machines, I'm usually just restore from a backup on the new computer (very easy with Time Machine backups) or directly from the old machine (a little harder). This will give all files and settings and the software installed on the old machine immediately and you can just continue. Is not something that Adobe can really help you with either said by the way, but you might have someone from the Apple Store help you with that, if you are not comfortable with moving files to a new computer.
Cc of Lightroom is simply a version update of Lightroom 5. CC requires a monthly subscription that pay you apparently. You did not use the software you pay for if you use 5 Lightroom on the old machine.

I'm sorry, but that 'rare' mean in this sentence? If you are having problems with a charger and the phone, he came up with that is still under warranty, the unit would be under warranty. It will have to be reviewed by Apple, they make determinations. If you have purchased separately the charger, then it must be aged less than 1 year, and the review itself would apply. I hope that's what you're referring to.
