Activation Problems Continue

Day 5 and I still have a pretty dead desktop ornament. The following phone numbers may be of help to the many thousands like me. It takes about two hours to get into the 60 minute que at the Iphone Activation Support line clearly indicating the problems and software bugs are still a major problem for many.
877-800-3701
877-777-4189
800-331-0500
888-898-7685
877-419-4500

Possible solution: Call the activation line and have them cancel your activation.
When the phone reverts and allows you to reactivate, reactivate WITHOUT porting a number. Just let it assign you whatever number it wants to.
At this point, it should activate within the hour - usually within minutes.
After you're activated, with your new number, call AT&T Customer Service and ask for the 'porting department'... have them port your old number to your new number.
That's how I got mine activated.
Good luck.

Anyone any advice on how to stop my mail "activity" from continuously caching? is this a problem? I have had inbox issues recently that are not resolved yet but I am not sure if they are related.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Can you help me with FontExplorer font activation problems?

Anyone know how to solve a font activation problem I am having with FontExplorer 4.2? I am on a new mac with new fonts, I am using Maverick with Adobe CS6. With my new mac I bought the latest version of FontExporer Pro X 4.2. This program is having trouble with font activation in all my Adoble suite apps including Indesign. Here is what I am seeing:
1. The font activates, but the Adobe app does not recognize that it is active. If I go back to Font Explorer and deactivate manually, then re-activate manually. The adobe app might then recognize it. Sometimes it still doesn't. But this does not stay permanently, as soon as I do a restart I have to go through this process again. I see this more often with the User system fonts, but a few times with my regular fonts.
2. Other times, such as in Indesign, I go to open the file and the file stalls and doesn’t progress while it is trying to activate the fonts.
3. Another time I have seen after an illustrator file is opened the fonts aren't recognized as being opened and the text goes blank on the page.
4. In all adobe apps, if I go to use "replace font" on the missing fonts (even though they are turned on) the "replace font" menu only shows the basic system fonts, it won't show me the other fonts turned on.
I have seen these issues with both formerly created files and fresh new files.
I have tried the following based on feedback from Font Explorer staff:
Refresh your Spotlight database
1. Quit all applications other than FontExplorer X
2. Choose Tools > Refresh Spotlight Database
Clean your font caches
1. Quit all applications other than FontExplorer X 2. Choose Tools > Clean Application Font Caches (check all available checkboxes)
3. Choose Tools > Clean System Font Caches (requires restart)
Still after trying this multiple times, the errors continue and even get more random.
I have also tried this based on their feedback:
go to FONTEXPLORER X PRO -> PREFERENCES -> ADVANCED and make sure that "Automatically deactivate fonts which have not been activated by the system" is NOT set to never.
Then click on TOOLS and clean all font caches. Then reboot the system.
The auto-activation is using a new Apple technology (called Core Text), which unfortunately does not work correctly with some of the Adobe and Quark applications when keeping the fonts permanently activated. We are currently working on an update, and the next version of FontExplorer X Pro will fix this issue.
This has also not work. Can anyone help me?

Here is the official work-around for this problem.
1. Locate "FontExplorer X Pro.app" in Applications
2. Right-click on "FontExplorer X Pro.app" and select "Show Package Contents"
3. Navigate to /Contents/Helpers/
4. Double-click "FontExplorerXLauncher-3.app" or right-click and "Open" to launch it manually. This is needed only once, afterwards the plugins will work normally.
Please make sure you open the version with the "-3" suffix, the other one does not fix the problem.

Error in Remote Web Access - "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again. If the problem continues, contact the person who manages your server."

I have set up the RWA and I can log in to the web console with my server account. However when I click on any of the shared folders I get this error:
An unexpected error occurred. Please try again. If the problem continues, contact the person who manages your server.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this?

I had this very same issue with one of our customer's servers that was running Windows Server Essentials. I ended up calling Microsoft about the issue. I hope this helps someone. This originally appeared on my blog: http://techspeeder.com/2014/01/14/remote-web-access-error-an-unexpected-error-occurred/
Troubleshooting Steps:
1. We were getting unexpected errors while accessing shared folders remotely
2. The tech found IIS handlers were missing
3. She went to IIS > server level ( parent level) and added managed handler mapping :
Name: svc-Integrated-4.0
Request path: *.svc
Executable: System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceHttpHandlerFactory, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35
4. Added script mapping:
Name: svc-ISAPI-4.0_64bit
Request path: *.svc
Executable: windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll
Name: svc-ISAPI-4.0_32bit
Request path: *.svc
Executable: windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework32\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll
5. Ran IISreset.
6. We were able to access resources in Remote access, then.

Activation cannot continue

I purchased a new copy of PS CS2 and after install, I activate it and it says information was sent. Then a few seconds later I receive an error message:
"An error has been detected and activation cannot continue. Please restart your computer and reinstall application."
I have reinstalled at least six time, even once via SAFE MODE. I have installed via two different CD rom drives, I have followed all the suggested fixes and nothing seems to work.
I then installed on my laptop, and I receive the same error message.
I can, on both computers, open ImageReady CS2 and use it; it seems to be affecting only PS CS2.
Compaq desktop:
Processor is a P4 3.4 Ghz
ATI X600 Video board
3gb RAM
Windows XP SP2
Viewsonic Digital Monitor
HP Laptop:
AMD 2.0 Ghz processor
ATI express 200 grapics board
2gb RAM
HELP! Please...

Douglas,
Curiously enough, I received a personal e-mail today from an e-bay seller of PS CS2, who reported that his customer was having the exact problem as you've stated here. He had seen my posts in the forum here and wrote me to ask for help regarding what might be causing this problem. Whether or not he's your seller, I don't know, but the timing of the e-mail vs. your post here seems more than coincidental. I didn't keep his e-mail but did reply to him and only recall his name being Nick.
While you believe the CD you purchased was a new retail product, this person contacting me asked if he should have uninstalled PS CS2 from his PC and was the CD needed for that task. I told him of how a license transfer via Adobe is required if he registered the software and, if activated on one or more PCs, then a Transfer Activation would be required from the affected PCs. This would ensure the activations are freed up for use by his buyer. If he didn't register PS CS2, then the buyer would be able to, yet that means nothing if the buyer doesn't also have both activations available to use.
Normally when both activations have been used, the error message that would be seen during a new install is that the limits of the license have been exceeded...something to that effect. An error message as you've seen is far less obvious as being related to this issue with no remaining activations left, yet I'm still very suspicious that is the root cause of the problem.
As others have suggested, you'd be wise to contact Adobe promptly to learn if the serial number you have is valid and whether it has already had 1 or more activations applied against it. If so, then you should demand a refund from your e-bay seller or a license transfer and full activation transfer.

Daryl

Factory reset and activation problems

I bought a used Ipad 2 Model A1396 from my sister, and I used a factory restore.
The activation process says "could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable", but this continues for ever.
I tried connecting to Itunes, with different iOS versions.
I used different networks to see if that was the problem.
I waited some days to see if there was a problem with the service (and now I know how to check Apple services).
I even went to the apple store (in Argentina), but they told me that it might be a problem with the previous user that is locked.
I went to my sister's house (previous owner) and used her itunes, to see if that could help.
I read different posts, that gave solutions as "trying another network", "take out the 3G card", or install a different version of the iOS. I tried every one of those.
I still get the same "activation" problem.
Any ideas? Could anyone help?
Thanks in advanced

Norton Activation Problem - SOLUTION

As was suggested by others here on the forum, if you have the activation errors so many of are having with the new NSS, the best way to get it fixed is have a Norton Tech go into your machine and via "Safe Mode" remove the specific files causing this problem
Step by step:
1) go to http://www.norton.com
2) click on "Support" at top of page.
3) click on "Product Help" "Norton Security for Windows"
4) near top of page at right, click on "Contact Us"
5) click on "Chat Now" Explain you have Comcast's Norton Security Suite and you are unable to activate it.
The support person will with your permission take over your computer, put it in safe mode, remove the bad files, reboot and double check to make sure NSS is happy. It took about 15 minutes with me. All is well now.

Sorry for the trouble. I'm Harry from Norton Support team. Please try to use the correct link as provided here: http://www.nortonactivate.com/Campaign/fm1301 for the redemption. In meantime, you can download a 30 day trial of Norton AntiVirus from our web site:http://us.norton.com/downloads-trial-norton-antivirus Once you get the Product key, you can simply complete the activation and continue to use it for 1 year. Thanks!HarryNorton Support

I have a user on an iMac 10.6 connected to our domain. She uses Outlook web access for email on our exchange server. Last week she received the following message which is randomly preventing her from sending emails. She claims no attachment was involved in the original email when this all started. I have not been able to look at her account as she is out of the office but maybe someone else dealt with this issue. I realize this may not be Mac related but thought I'd give it a try. She did say it occurred once over two days while working on a PC but it continued over the past weekend.
If an internal user tries to send a message with infected attachment using Outlook Web Access, it may report the following error message: The action could not be completed because of a conflict with the original item. The conflict may have occurred when an existing item was updated on another computer or device. Open the item again and try making your changes. If the problem continues, contact technical support for your organization.
This is because F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange has detected a virus in the attachment. If the user tries to send the message again, the message will be sent but without the attachment. At the same time a blank message with an attachment named "Attachment_information.txt" will remain in the user's Drafts folder. The "Attachment_information.txt" will contain information about the virus detected in the message.

PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!

DC Activation Problem in CBS

Hello,
I am facing DC Activation problems in CBS.
- We have two DC utils and config. The config DC uses utils DC and everything is working fine locally
- Today we are migrating these local projects in NWDI.
- I created new DCs in NWDI and copied the SRC folder. Did all required steps for migration, built locally and it works fine.
- I then checked in utils and activated the same in NWDI, its working fine.
- I then defined the dependency from the active workspace and everything is still fine.
- Now I checkin the src of config DC and build the same. Here the problem arises. The Build Fails
- Checked SDN and can see lot of people facing this problem but there is no solution.
Any pointers to solve this problem will be helpful
Regards,
Shubham

Problem Solved.
I removed the utils DC from my client. Also deleted the folder from the workspace. After this I created the project from the Dev Config perspective again. I was surprised to see there is no component in my utils DC and thats why the problem was there.
I again copied all the src folder in the workspace and refreshed the DC. Now it locked all the source in the activity. I checked it in and repeated the above excercise. This time all the source code was there.
I deleted the dependency in the config dc and created again from active workspace(although now I realize it was not required) and checkedin and activated.
Hurray!!! It got activated.

Photoshop CS2 Activation Problem

Hello
I'm trying to install Photoshop CS2 for a client, but when I launch the application I get the error: "An error has been detected and activation cannot continue. Please restart your computer and reinstall the application"
I've already done the obvious thing to reboot and re-install the application with the same error. I tried deleting temporary files to no avail. Is there any other solution I should try before I re-image the machine?
I've uploaded a screen shot of the error here: http://tinyurl.com/6rew36
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm getting this same error message "An error has been detected with a required application library ...". I have used my CS2 for the last 3 years with no issues. I've un-installed and re-installed 4 times to no avail. Is there really no fix? That seems pretty incredible that no one has found a solution.
Anybody been able to resolve? Is it as simple as disabling the firewall & antivirus?
Thanks for the help,
Wes.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Activation problem 194:100

What the ihell is going on?
I have been burdened with activation issues for weeks - see my previous thread. I have had no response here from Adobe about how to fix it. Please don't say this is a 'user to user' forum. It isn't a 'U2U' forum when Adobe state this is the first place we should look!
Now, no CC program will run owing to something called 'Activation problem 194:100'.
Yes, I have logged out. Yes, I have rebooted. Yes, I have deactivated 'more than 2 machines'. Why should I have to repeatedly click to 'deactivate 2 previous activations' when there has NEVER been more than one activation?
Adobe not only make me look a laughing stock in the classroom but this constant issue that has been going on for weeks now subliminally tells students Adobe software is useless!
When will I be able to use CC again? I am paying for it remember!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Rajshree,
Welcome to Adobe Forum.
CC has only EVER been activated on ONE PC.
If you look at http://forums.adobe.com/message/6198690#6198690 you'll see (like many other users) I have to constantly sign in and reactivate. It is probably this that is causing the multiple activations.
However, to reiterate, CC is only running on ONE computer. It has not at any time been activated on more than the same PC. One activation - one PC.
So, the suggestion of waiting a few hours (if the prog won't activate / run) is less than adequate. Like everyone else, I pay to have it running 24 hours a day - every day.

Flash MX Professional 2004 Activation Problems

I am having trouble activating Flash MX Professional 2004. I have had the product for many years, but it is asking again to be reactivated, probably because I have moved the vmWare virtual machine on which it is installed to a new host computer.
I have learned that the old Macromedia activation servers are no longer available, and have tried using the information provided by http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/macromedia-legacy-activation-error.html. But that only activates me to a non-professional version. I need to use features in the Professional version.
Is there a serial number available for Flash MX Professional 2004?

OK, I have got my problem sorted.
After a second call to UK customer service, I was e-mailed a serial number that they said was for Flash MX 2004 Professional. However, it didn't work with my version! My version is 7.2, and the original serial number of my product starts PFD700. The serial number given by Adobe is PFD800-00466-08280-86965. Maybe the 800 means its for a later version, don't know, but my version does not accept this as a valid serial number.
A third call to try to get a PFD700 serial number got me a brick wall again, they insisted that was the only serial number for MX 2004 Pro they had. At this point I followed sinious's suggestion and asked to talk to a supervisor. They were on the phone, and I was promised a call back. I'm still waiting.
So I hunted a bit harder with Google and eventually found a site that gave me a serial number. The use of that unlocked the Professional features of my version, and I'm up and running again.
Thanks for your contributions guys, you've both helped. I agree with sinious's critism of moccamaximum, and wouldn't normally go to sites of dubious provenance for help. But after being exhausted by my efforts to get help from Adobe - who to be fair nearly got there in the end - I went hunting and found something that solved my problem. After all, Adobe themselves are publishing activation-free serial numbers.
I've given the serial number I got from Adobe, it may help others who experience activation problems in the future.
But I'll follow sinious's advice and not give out the serial number or details of the website I got it from. It wasn't very hard to find.
