Acrobat 9.0 serial not working for Acrobat XI update (Mac)

The subject line says it all. When I try to run my newly downloaded XI update, it requests a serial number for a qualifying product. I have Acrobat 9.0.0 Pro installed, and when I try to run XI, I get a window reading: "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."
Then I manually input the serial (correctly--I've triple checked), select Acrobat Professional 9.0 for Mac in the pull down menu and click "Next." I get an error message saying, "This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another."
What the heck?

  • Serial not working for Acobat X

    Hi, I've just installed a new version of CS5. I was using the trial version for a few weeks and I realised that Acrobat Pro was not installed.
    Not to worry I thought.
    Today, I bought the serial for Design Premium CS5 and rang Adobe to confirm that we would recieve Acrobat X serial upon purchasing the serials.
    They said we would.
    Indeed, I did get two serials. However, one was for CS5 Design Premium (which worked!) and the other was for Acobat 9 Pro which does not work with my installed trial version of Acrobat X.
    Can someone from the Customer Support team please help as I currently have a trial version of Acrobat X that's still asking for a serial.
    Ta
    Adrian

    Creative Suite currently ships with Acrobat 9 - *not* Acrobat X.
    Because of the way the license manager operates, you always get two serial numbers - one for CS, and one for Acrobat - but serials for Acrobat 9 will not of course work for Acrobat X, trial or no trial.
    Acrobat X Pro will be included in the next dot release of CS5, details of which will be sent automatically to customers with a support subscription plan. At this time we cannot give any more information on dates, prices or upgrade paths.

  • Photoshop CS4 serial not working for 64 bit

    Ok heres the story, ive been using my copy for about 8 months straight without any problems, yesterday I start up photoshop as I do every day and BLAM, it tells me the serial Ive been using is no longer valid.
    When i try to re enter the serial it gives me a big fat red cross.
    The weird thing is that the 32bit version seems to work just fine.
    I already tried re installing the program, used the CS4 cleaning utility and whatnot, but still the same problem, 64 bit asks for serial, 32bit works, I have 8 gigs of ram in my rig and hate to let it all go to waste by using the 32 bit, so if anyone has any clue about my problem, please share.
    Cheers

    Sounds like a specific part of the licensing service does not launch. Have you checked your event viewer and your Services panel?

  • SL server share mounting not working for 10.7.4 Mac Mini

    I'm running about seven Macs on a network with a 10.6.8 Mac Mini server.
    The older Macs (PPCs and 10.4.11) mount the share immediately.
    Newer Macs recently have had a problem.
    My 10.6.8 MBP can mount the share, from a dock icon, but it can take minutes.
    Another Mac Mini (10.7.4) now refuses to mount the share manually. It can't make contact with the server share. I've tried via Ethernet and WiFi. It just hangs with Connect to Server.
    And yet, it has no problem with the iCal server running on the server.
    Another older MB and 10.6.8, mounts the share immediately.
    Has anyone had newer hardware with 10.7.4 develop server connection problems?

    Hi iToaster,
    These were all good tips, and I tried or investigated them.
    As it turns out, I noticed my SL Mac server needed a Java and securtiy update.
    After installing, mount time on my Lion and SL client Macs was near normal, not minutes. (Again, my older Macs had mounted the server share quickly and normally, when the newer ones did not.)
    My suspicion is that a modern OS sensed that the Java and security updates were not in place and took extra time to check the share mount in some manner.
    Thank you for your time, experitse and ideas, iToaster!

  • BFG 8800GTX NOT working for me in my mac pro.

    Well Da**it guys. I can NOT get the BFG 8800GTX to work in my mac pro.
    The machine will boot but you do not hear the apple chime.
    After that it just sits there and makes the cd rom drive click and the hard drives click and spinup as well.
    It is NOT a power problem. I even tried an external 550 watt PS and that will not work either.
    I even tried the other pcie slots and its a no go...well not sure what to do now. Sigh

    Are you trying to get this card to run on your Mac Pro with Bootcamp, or OS X? A PC video card will NOT work under OS X as they are not compatible with the Mac's EFI firmware.
    There have been people who have gotten PC video cards to work under Bootcamp, but I believe you still need to have a Mac compatible video card installed, just to get the machine to boot.
    If you're trying to get this thing to work with Bootcamp, you may want to post in the Bootcamp forum.

  • Bluetooth not working for file transfer between Macs

    I just got a MacBook Pro, with OS 10.6.1. My desktop is the iMac 2.66Ghz Intel with 10.5.8. I cannot get Bluetooth file transfers to work between the two.
    I've got file sharing turned on for both machines. I've got all the frakkin' folders I need to transfer added to the file sharing list and all are set to "read & write" permission for every user I see in the list. Both machines can discover and seemingly connect to each other in Bluetooth.
    However, I cannot send files between them; the connection just times out. I turned off the firewall on both machines. I've got file-sharing allowed on both machines. But the Macbook insists on only seeing the "public" folder on my iMac, but won't accept any files from it, and vice versa. I can't see anything on my iMac (and vice versa); I can't browse, I can't send.
    I don't want to use the Migration -- I don't want to transfer everything under the sun to the laptop (and why in the WORLD Migration doesn't allow one to pick & choose what you want to migrate is beyond me), just specific files. Using my regular wireless connection, it's going to take over 6 hours. I want to get Bluetooth working -- it's irritating enough that the Firewire ports between my two Macs aren't the same type, so I can't use my existing firewire cable to do it, but this issue with Bluetooth is driving me up the wall.
    Any suggestions? I've tried searching this forum, but can't seem to find anything that would fit my specific problem, and all the KB docs I've found, I've followed. HELP!

    HI Chris,
    Sharing files using Bluetooth
    To share files using Bluetooth, you first need to make sure Bluetooth is turned on, and then use Bluetooth File Exchange to send a file.
    To turn on Bluetooth:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Bluetooth.
    Select the On checkbox. To allow other Bluetooth enabled devices to “discover” your computer and send files, also select the Discoverable checkbox.
    Select “Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar” so you can quickly send files and perform other actions using the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar.
    To send files using Bluetooth:
    Choose Send File from the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar.
    If the Bluetooth menu isn’t visible, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Bluetooth, and select “Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar.”
    In the window that appears, select the file you want to send and click Send.
    Select the device you want to send the file to and click Send.
    If you don’t see the device you want to send the file to, make sure the device has Bluetooth turned on and is discoverable.
    You do not need File Sharing turned on for Bluetooth technology.
    Another way to share files between two Macs is How to use Firewire Target Disk Mode

  • "Use this mailbox for" not working for Spam on one mac but fine on another

    I have Mail running on my Macbook Pro using IMAP. I have a business email account and a personal email account both with the same mail provider. When I create the account it creates a folder under the IMAP folders for Sent, Trash and Spam. I highlight each of these and use the "Use this mailbox for" command to set them for Sent, Trash and Junk respectively. This moves the folders up under the Mailboxes section at the top of mail. Everything is great.
    Now, exactly the same on my brand new iMac. When I get to the part about "Use this mailbox for", Sent and Trash work exactly the same as on the Macbook Pro but Spam stubbornly refuses to change and I am left with an extra folder under the IMAP folders.
    I am using the same version of OS X, the same version of mail and exactly the same setting in mail preferences. I don't understand why I can't get the Spam folder to be used as Junk? ANyone out there got any ideas?

    I have the same problem on my new MBP with Snow Leopard. I have multiple gmail accounts in Mail with IMAP. I can set the Sent/Drafts/Trash mailboxes to be used by Mail. But when I do the same with the Spam mailbox nothing happens at all.
    This is really annoying as I now have to go through all of my Spam mailboxes manually to check if there is a false positive. This seems to be a bug in Apple Mail? I also tried to set up all my accounts again but it didn't help, same problem.

    Best,

    you cannot use your pc license to install on a mac.  you would need a separate license (and serial number) for that.
    adobe allows platform swaps, but only with the latest (xi) version, Order product | Platform, language swap
    your option to use acrobat on a mac are to upgrade to acrobat pro xi and change platforms, use a windows emulator (parallels/boot camp etc) on your mac or swap with a third party.

  • I purchased Adobe photoshop elements II and Adobe premiere elements II. They are both on one disc. My computer crasded and I had to reload Windows. I only have one serial number and it only works with photoshop II. The same serial number will not work for

    I purchased Adobe photoshop elements II and Adobe premiere elements II. They are both on one disc. My computer crasded and I had to reload Windows. I only have one serial number and it only works with photoshop II. The same serial number will not work for Premiere. I dont have any other serial numbers. What do I do???

    Static_Unit
    I am getting a bit concerned about what is happening in your situation. Yesterday you posted your question in at least two different forums, one of them being here in the Premiere Elements Forum.
    Don't Have Serial Number for Premiere, Only Photoshop?
    Wherever you posted, the reply was to contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat. It is the only one who can sort out this matter for you.
    In the thread cited above I offered to help you with the difficulties that you were having visualizing the Adobe Chat in its web page. I was waiting for your follow up on that in the above thread. Instead, I find your same question in a new Adobe Premiere Elements Forum thread this afternoon with no refer the prior threads or prior recommendations given you.
    I will also mention again...when you buy the Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements bundled in one packaging and with installation files for each on the same installation disc, each program has its own serial number. The Photoshop Elements serial number does not work for Premiere Elements and vice versa. The serial numbers are on labels on a box which houses the installation disc envelope(s). So, if you purchased both programs and found the Photoshop Elements serial number, then the Premiere Elements serial number should be in a label right underneath the label with the serial number for Photoshop Elements. I recall writing this in your yesterday's thread on this matter.
    The moderator will no doubt be along shortly to close or delete this thread. So, just in case, please bookmark your yesterday's thread cited above so that we can continue this communication which is trying to help you.
    Thanks.

  • Form Designed in LiveCycle will not work for End User

    Please Help!
    I am a newbie to Adobe LiveCycle but recognized the utility in the program, so decided to give it a while to try and streamline some of my employer's forms.  After spending too much time learning how to design a form (much to the dislike of my boss), I am finally going to have to ask for some help.  So here's the deal:
    I've designed a dynamic pdf in LiveCycle with two master pages and two repeating flowed subforms.  The first repeating subform is basically an expanding table intended to be used as a photographer's log where they can log each photo taken with the camera.  The expanding table has some code with a button at the top for the end user to enter the number of photos on the photo roll, click submit, and table expands to however many instances of rows are needed for each photo that was taken.  The second subform is basically an image field and text fields used as photo captions/photo compilation pages.  When the end user clicks submit on the first subform to expand the table, I also have javascript in that click event to also create same amouint of instances of the second subform (the photo compilation page(s)).  Each text field for the photo caption on the second subform is populated by the data entered into the photo log table cells.  I was able to find a script to correctly populate those fields for each instance of the table.  Wish I had the form here, but it's at work at the moment.
    My problem is this: I've scratched and clawed to get all of the forms expanding correctly and the scripts populating each instance of the fields correctly and everything works great in LiveCycle preview.  I then saved the form as PDF for use by my field crew personnel (whom all use, at the very least, Adobe Pro 9, but most Pro X).  I sent the new form to them and they move it to their desktop, open it with Adobe Pro, and populate all of the fields and everything works swimmingly.  However, once they save it, it gets all jumbled and they can't even print it.  We even thought we found a workaround by entering all data and printing to PDF, but even that has turned out to not work.  I checked to make sure that I designed and saved the form in LiveCycle for use with the Adobe Pro versions, but still not working for my end users.
    Anyone have any thoughts on my long explanation??  Please HELLLLPPPP!

    The error(s) occur when trying to save the document.  I want each user to tell the first page how many rows they will need in the photo log table, so they would enter however many photos were taken in the box: "Number of Photos on Roll:"  ---> Then click the "Submit" cmd button.  That should expand the table.  Once it expands, it should also add the same amount of instances of the photo compilation page (2nd Page) as there are rows in 1st page table.  Then the user will populate each cell of the table on page 1 with data.  The data entered into the page 1 table cells will populate the text fields (photo caption) in Page 2 once the user clicks on the "Populate Captions!" cmd button in the lower left corner of the table on Page 1. 
    The problem is in the distributing of the form to the user so they can save the form after populating the data.  I did a test run this morning and for some reason it did do the "print to PDF" correctly for 5 photos on the roll (though this has not been happening every time and especially for a large number of pages, ie. 80 photos).  However, after entering the data for 5 rows on page 1 and then populating the 5 photo compilation pages, I saved a copy as "Save As PDF" and closed the document.  Then re-opened the copy in Acrobat Pro X.  The new copy:
    -had 5 additional rows added to Page 1
    -Duplicates of some of the fields
    -Only retained the 1st instance of the Second Page (Photo w/ Caption) and not all fields were populated
    Again, this all works fine in the LiveCycle Preview but not anywhere else.  I do not have this set up to be linked to an external data source (YET) but there is javascript in the cmd buttons.  I also do not want to distribute this form to end users and then collect the data back from them.  I want them to be able to save a copy of my LiveCycle designed form, open in Adobe Pro, populate the data and save as many copies as needed for form production.

  • "Include Header Row in Subsequent Pages" is not working for table

    Hi,
    I'm using version 8.1.2.3337.1.509884.
    The pagnation feature "Include Header Row in Subsequent Pages" is not working for any table in my design. ( the check-box can not be checked no matter how many times I clicking it)
    I put such table already in a flow bodypage.
    Any similar issue reported?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hi Raghu,
    Appologies that I uploaded a wrong version of xdp file yesterday.
    Here is the correct one.
    https://acrobat.com/#d=jr0XffvBZWXd0cVhL0OQ3A
    I totally understand that I have to check the checkbox "Include Header Row in Subsequent Pages".
    My problem is that, although I can see that checkbox, and it's not grey-out, I can not tick it. See below screenshot, with the red-cycle mark.
    You can try with above file.
    Just wondering why such weird behavior happened.

    I have an event in my calendar that was sent by someone that does not work for the company anymore and I am reminded 2 times a week. How do I delete it?

    Tap on the event to open the event. Click the 'Edit' button in the event bubble, then press the 'Delete Event' button at the bottom of the Edit pop-up. It's a little different for events that come through Microsoft Exchange, you tap the event to bring up bubble and click the 'Details' button, and then press 'Decline' to remove the event.

  • IPhone 6 External Mic not working for Siri/Dictation

    I am finding that the external mic on my iPhone 6 works for phone calls and voice memos, but does not work for Siri/Dictation.  When I plug in the earbuds, they work for everything (including Siri/Dictation).
    Was chatting to Apple support who had me reset all settings.  I thought that worked, but realized that after a reset, Siri is off and I was talking to "Voice control" (which works).  When I turned Siri back on, it does not work.
    I have two questions for the community to see if you can help:
    1- I have been assuming this must be a software problem since the mic does work for non-Siri access.  But is that true?  Is there a hardware component that Siri depends on which could be faulty here?
    2- If it is software, what action should I try to address it?  I have done a reset all settings already and that did not help.

    Hi, everyone.  I talked to Apple Genius at Apple Store last week, she said it should be a software issue and I needed to reset my iphone 6 plus as a new device and I can not use the backup restore from my iCloud, it was because the microphone bug or glitch can be in the backup also. Ok, followed her advice, erased all contents and set my iphone as a new device , the microphone worked for an hour, but went bad again.  I used "voice memo" app from Apple to test the microphone. It is the best tool since it doesn't involve any provider's network and it doesn't need another person's phone to listen and test.  If you can hear your voice recording clearly, then the mic works.  I tested it 3-4 times a day for a few days now, half of the time the mic doesn't work.  So, set as a new device isn't working. The issue is intermittent and it comes and goes as it likes, so very annoying. I carry my Apple EarPods with me in these past few days ust in case I need to make important phone calls.  Will need to go back to Apple Genius this weekend for sure.  Will give update after the weekend.
