Computer crashed, trying to register on new computer

My computer recently crashed which had I think CS5. (Cant remember if it was 5.5 or 5.) I have gotten a new computer now and am trying to install the program on my new Mac. I have logged into my adobe account but it does not show any products registered. I originally installed adobe from a disk but have since lost the disk. I have the serial number, but it says it has already been registered. Is there any way to help me install this onto my new computer?

You can only register a product once. That is not the same as activating a product, which is what you will use the serial number for. As long as you have the serial number you should be able to download the installation files and use the serial number to activate. You will have to figure out whether it is for CS5 or CS5.5 though.

If you get any message regarding your activations being used up you can contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.

My old computer crashed so I got a new computer and installed Itunes but some songs are grayed out

What actions, if any, did you take to transfer your iTunes Library from your old computer to your new one? Unless you do so, the only songs that will automatically be available to you are your previous iTunes Store purchases - and even then this is dependent on both where you are (not all regional versions of the Store provide this facility) and whether the songs you've purchased are still available from the Store.
As leofanti points out, iTunes Match is not a backup service for your library.

HT1473 my computer crashed and i have a new computer with new itunes, i am trying to get my music from my old iphone 4 into the library but as soon as i unplug the phone it no longer appears in the library

my computer crashed so i have a new itunes and i am trying to put my music from my old phone into itunes, it doesnt transfer only shows up when my phone is plugged in?

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You shouldcopy everything from your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one. This one of the main reasons it has laways been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer.

My old computer crashed, so I bought a new computer. How can I get my IPOD music in the new computer

my old computer crashed. I bought a new one. I installed Itunes, with a new account. I cannot get my music from my ipod touch to the new computer. It is all music I had downloaded from cd's I have purchased through the years. Every time I try to authorize the new computer, it wants a credit card number for the ITunes store. I don't want to buy more music now, I just want to be able to get my songs in my new computer. This is driving me crazy. any help, since the phone support is not available when I am. Thanks.

The music sync is one wa - copmputer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer. Use your backup to put everything back

Computer crashed can i sync to new computer without losing contacts that are on my phone

My computer crashed so i bought a new one. I have all the contacts on my iPhone 4, but i am afraid if i try to sync it to the new computer it will erase all the data. Can someone please verify this for me.

Use your backup copy of your old computer to put everything on your new one.

Computer crashed, put hard drive in new computer, can't get all songs?

Here is the story. Had 700+ itunes songs on hard drive. That computer crashed. Bought a new computer and pulled out the hard drive from the crashed one and put it into the new computer. Got it working but itunes only recognizes 178 of the 700+ itunes songs. Cannot get the library to open in anything other than Internet Explorer. Can someone please provide some guidance on what I might be able to do to fix this issue? Thanks!

What a nightmare!
How did you get the 178 songs into iTunes? Have you tried adding the missing ones?
What do you mean by this?

Old computer crashed, copy from ipod to new computer?

My old computer crashed and I want to know if there is an easy way (or any way) to copy music from my ipod classic to my new computer?

For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc) use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

Old computer crashed and want music in new computer

Hey all! I have a problem with getting access to all my old music. My old desktop computer crashed so I cannot access my iTunes from it anymore. I downloaded iTunes on my new computer, but I cannot retrieve my music from my old iTunes. The only help topics on this website that I found even slightly related to my problem tell me to go onto my old iTunes and use my iPod as a "disk" of sorts. However, this is not an option for me. The majority of my music was not bought on iTunes, either, so I'm not able to get access to it by activating this computer. Any help you could offer would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

If for some reason you have failed to do the basics and maintain a backup copy of your computer - not good - then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countires:

IPhone says it's looking for my old dead computer when trying to sync to new computer. How do I get my phone to recognize my new computer?

My old computer died, long live the computer! Thought I'd be slick and sync my iphone with all 2000+ songs to my new computer. Loaded up iTunes, no problem, downloaded all the songs I've purchased, but when it came to syncing, it said the phone was looking for my old computer. How do I get the phone to recognize the new computer?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Computer crash -- Moving iPod music to new computer

My old computer crashed and I had to reformat the harddrive. How do I move the 3200 songs back from my iPod to iTunes?
Thanks

If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.

Need my product key after computer crashed to re-install in new computer.

I bought CS5 Design Master Collection 4 years ago. My computer just crashed and lost my key number to re-install. I have called an Adobe Contact number just to hear a machine back and forth with many options that do not fit my problem. Is there any number I can call to speak with a real person?

My computer crashed. I bought a new Mac Book Air, but my Photoshop CS4 won't download. It keeps wanting a serial number from my last product. I put it in, but it isn't taken. I am frustrated and furious! What can I do?

Bateman777 I reviewed your account and it appears the full version Photoshop software title you purchased was Photoshop CS3. As Kglad suggested please make sure to utilize your previous full version serial number. You can find details on how to locate your registered serial numbers at Find your serial number quickly.
