Had to buy a new computer and not able to download my ITunes purchases
I had to buy a new computer and I am not able to download my old purchases. I didnt back up my purchases on my old laptop. What can I do to download my old purchases? Thank you
+I didnt back up my purchases on my old laptop.+
Woops, big mistake not backing up, since you only get ONE download from the store; no more downloads will be coming to your new PC.
Do you at least have your purchases on an ipod? You could authroize the new PC, then do itunes menu > file > transfer purchases from ipod.

I recently had to buy a new computer and want to transfer my playlists to my new computer
I recently had to buy a new computer and want to move my playlists from my old one. The playlists include both purchased tracks and tracks uploaded from my cd collection. My old os is Windows XP and my new os is Windows 8 if that is of any relevance to a possible solution. I do not have an external hard drive but do have a memory stick if it is possible to load the individual playlists onto it.
Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar

Is there anyway to merge the 2 accounts so i dont loose all my data when updating my phone?
There was no reason to start a new account.
You can certainly use your old account on any computer/device.
You cannot merge accounts. -
Due to divorce, all my music is on my iTunes and iPod. I have had to buy a new laptop and want to transfer the library to the new computer before deauthorizing the old one. I dont want to have to use an external drive every time I want to listen to my music. How can I do this and have the same basic iTunes setup as before? HELP!
You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ -
my old system crashed and the disk with my itunes library was lost. I've loaded iTunes on my new computer. How can I recreate my songs? Can they be loaded to the computer disk from my iPod nano?
Important: The first time you connect iPod nano to a computer that it’s not synced with, a message asks if you want to sync songs automatically. If you accept, all songs, audiobooks, and other content are erased from iPod nano and replaced with songs and other items from that computer.You can prevent iPod nano from syncing when you connect it to a computer other than the one you usually sync with.
Turn off automatic syncing for iPod nano:
In the iTunes Summary tab, deselect “Open iTunes when this iPod is connected,” and then click Apply.
If you turn off automatic syncing, you can still sync by clicking the Sync button.
Transferring purchased content to another computer
Content that you purchase in iTunes on one computer can be transferred from iPod nano to an iTunes library on another computer. The other computer must be authorized to play content from your iTunes Store account.
Authorize another computer:
Open iTunes on the other computer and choose Store > Authorize This Computer.mm
Transfer purchased content to another computer:
1 Open iTunes on the other computer and choose Store > Authorize This Computer.
2 Connect iPod nano to the newly authorized computer.
3 In iTunes, choose File > Transfer Purchases from iPod.

I can load CS3, but it won't let me register it and I can load CS5 upgrade, but when I open CS5 it shows fault and closes. What can I do to get these programs to work on my new computer?
Registration has always been optional, so there is no point in trying. Those pages on the Adobe site are long gone. CS5 crashing is another matter, but without some crash logs and more detailed system information nobody can realyl know. This could be a mundane permissions issue on some files, could be a crash with the hardware acceleration stuff but just the same could be the activation system failing. Impossible to tell based on your limited information.

I cannot locate my earlier light room 3 serial number so how can I obtain it?
If you still have access to the computer LR was installed on you can find both the LR3 & LR4 serial numbers here:
OS X
Registration data (serial number) is in //Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Lightroom 4.0 Registration
Windows 7 Vista
Registration data (serial number) is located in the C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Lightroom\Lightroom 4.0 Registration.lrreg file.
Lightroom 4 reads the Lightroom 3.0, 2.0, or 1.0 registration registry entry when it validates upgrade serial numbers. If you install an upgrade version of Lightroom 4 and it does not find a file for either Lightroom 3.0, 2.0, or 1.0, it prompts you to enter the previous version serial number.
This are plain text files which can be opened in Window's Notepad or it's equivalent in OS X. -
help please.... I HAD TO BUY A NEW COMPUTER, OLD ONCE CRASHED. OF COURSE I LOST EVERYTHING. I'M NOW TRYING TO INSTALL FROM MY OLD DISC PHOTOSHOP CS ... IT WILL NOT LET ME ACTIVATE!!!! I CAN'T FIND A PHONE NUMBER WHERE I CAN TALK TO ANYONE!!! WHAT DO I DO?????? I'M JUST THANKFUL I SAVED ALL MY PICS ON A DISC BUT I REALLY NEED MY PHOTOSHOP, IT'S OLD, BUT STILL WORKS! CAN ANYONE HELP ME?
Adobe shut down the activation server for CS2 and earlier a couple of years ago. In its place, they made available a new non-activation version of CS2. As an existing CS owner, you're entitled to download it.
Download and install the non-activation CS2 from Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
Use the new non-activation serial number on that page. Your existing serial number will no longer work.
PS I presume you're using Windows. The CS2 version will not install or run on modern Intel-based Macs. -
I buyed a new computer and photoshop was not working anymore, I reinstalled it but it does not accept my serial number@

i have a 2nd gen shuffle. i had to get a new computer and downloaded V11. my itunes works but i CANNOT sync to my shuffle. any ideas????
The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar by default. To show the sidebar, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
With the sidebar visible on the left side of the iTunes window, when you connect the shuffle, does it appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?
Since this is a 2nd gen shuffle, are you using the original USB cable that came with the shuffle, with the mini-dock at the shuffle end? A USB cable that is for the 3rd or 4th gen shuffle will not work; the connector is different. -
Recently bought a new computer and all my music appears in iTunes as well as on my computer in a saved folder. When I try to play the music in iTunes I get an error that reads"the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Hope you can help me solve this issue.
Thanks,
ShellybooThis happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

I had to get a new computer and I can not move my new music to my ipod because it says I can only have one itunes library. I would have to erase my ipod to use this new itunes library. Any ideas?
Copy or move the entire iTunes media folder from the old computer or the backp of the old computer to the new computer.

I had to get a new computer - how do I re-download acrobat, which I have purchased and have the serial number for
When you buy software to download it's VITAL to archive what you download, preferably to a CD/DVD. I write the serial number on the disk for completeness.
That said, you may be able to log on to My Adobe and see if they have a record of your purchase, and it's recent enough to still have a download. If it's the CURRENT version you can just download the demo. -
I just had to buy a new computer because my "vintage" Mac died. After migrating my backup drive over to my New mac book my Adobe CS no longer works. I get a 150:30 error code HELP!
You need to reinstall it properly, not use migration.

I have a new computer and I can't access my Itunes account. The message says I can't have more than 5 computers on this account and I don't. What can I do?
First of all you should really post this in Itunes forums cause you might get more hits on it.. Anyway.. You can only authorize up to 5 comps on one itunes account.. This does not include iOS devices. Those you can have 10.
So to fix this issue, open itunes, hit store on the left side, click log in (or your e-mail address if you are already logged in) in the top right hard corner of the page. One you log into your account you will see a a little area where it says you authorized 5 out of 5 comps. Below it should be a button to clear all those out. Itunes will de-authorize all computers on the account then you need to go back Store tab in the menu bar and select authorize this computer.
Remember it will deauthorize all your computers, so you need to re-authorize any other computers you have.
