Adobe Illustrator CS2 was installed on my computer where I work. When that computer failed and the company replaced it, I tried to re-install the software on my new machine. It loaded, but I can't get an authorization number  to activate it. Is there any

Can I activate Adobe Illustrator CS2 on my new computer?

Short answer: download a non-activation version of CS2 from Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
Longer answer: Adobe shut down the activation server for CS2 (and earlier versions) a couple of years ago. For CS2 owners, they've made available a non-activation version of CS2 at the above link.
Download the non-activation version and use the new non-activation serial number provided there. Your existing CS2 serial number will no longer work.

    My computer failed and the main drive had to be formatted but all my music was on a separate internal hard drive. So I downloaded the latest iTunes , problem is it has found all my songs but seems to not recognize half of the album data, half of the artists, all of the dates and all ratings data.
    I had a large part of it backed up on DVD's but it does not want to recognise them either?
    Any tips?

  • I ripped a new CD to iTunes and backed up to the cloud. The songs are already on my iPhone 4S, but I can't get them on my iPad. I already connected the iPad to my laptop and selected "Sync with the iPad over Wi-Fi". On the iPad I forced a Sync. Help!

  • I have been transfeing my DVD footage to I movie using handbreak and the spinning wheel of death has arrived and locked up I movie as I tried to import footage.  The message says, "Optimizing movies, processing event DVD" but I can't get out of it.

    I have been transfeing my DVD footage to I movie using handbreak and the spinning wheel of death has arrived and locked up I movie as I tried to import footage.  The message says, "Optimizing movies, processing event DVD" but I can't get out of it.

    Yes I held them down till the apple logo appears, then spinning wheel and repeated boot up process. I only knew it was going round in circles because the charging sound kept repeating every so many seconds.
    I am downloading iOS.5.0.1 now to do a complete factory restore. I hope this works. I have been looking online for hours for fixes and I have very little batter on it as its been spinning for hours now.
    Why do things like this happen? I am sat there watching tv and one minute the settings folder is there then its not! How does that happen? It just disappear? I hadn't moved it to another folder or deleted it, it just.... went!

    MY computer crashed and I had to reload the operating system. I had purchased the export PDF. However, I had not back up since my purchase and it is my understanding that this software is not stored on my computer. The export no longer works, it just keeps circling and the message acts like it is doing it but it circles and never completes. Msg says "uploading file to adobe exportPDF online"  

    Hi lisa99vano,
    I'm sorry that your computer crashed. That's the worst. But, it shouldn't have affected ExportPDF, since that is an online service (provided you're using a supported web browser, and there's no firewall or proxy preventing ExportPDF from uploading). First, please make sure that you're using a supported web browser: http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/
    Next, I think we should consider the file that you're trying to convert. How big is it? Had you tried converting it before the crash? Does it contain both text and graphics? Do other files convert without issue?
    I look forward to hearing back from you with some specifics about the file.
    Best,
    Sara

    Why repeat the question in the description area? That provides no more information than just leaving the description area blank.
    Yes you can edit documents in Pages. What can you not figure out that you want to do? Have you transfered a document to the iPad and opened it in Pages and tried to edit it?

    Can I get a new download for the special features?

    andrewfromcarmel,
    I experienced a similar issue with 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.
    Several questions:
    1. What version of iTunes are you using?
    2. Is your iTunes library located on a network drive or a local drive?
    3. What error are you getting during the download?
    4. Do you have the ability to try and download the extras file on a different computer?
    Regards,

  • The tab order on new event creation needs changed.  Can I get some +1's?

    Can I get some +1's here that the Apple iCal Product Manager can use as Customer Feedback?
    The Tab Order on creating new event pretty much doesn't reflect reality in creating events, and it would be better if it were changed ASAP. If it's not already in Snow Leopard, it should be in the _soonest point release after_ Snow Leopard release.
    Right? +1 if you agree.
    ------- Background --------
    When creating a new event, the tab order between fields is:
    . Event name
    . Location
    . AM/PM of Start time
    . Minute of End time
    . AM/PM of End time
    . Note
    In many (most) cases, the start hour is wrong:
    . If the event is being created from the Month view, the default Start hour is the top of the current hour. This has a low probability of being correct (1:24 worst case, 1:12 best case).
    . If the event is being created from either the week or day, but is being started within the start/end time of an already-existing event, the user must click outside an existing event to create the new one - e.g. at a "wrong" start time - then correct the start time. (Attempting to click within an event and drag start-to-finish time simply causes the existing event to move, or an error dialog to be raised if you aren't the event owner.) (This need arises when you have multiple calendars, some of which containing "events" which are placeholders, or notices, vs. real events.)
    Most commonly, I find myself needing the following Tab order:
    . Event name
    . Location
    . Start hour
    . Start AM/PM
    . End hour
    . End minute (to allow for changing the 1-hour meeting default)
    . Note
    iCal can use its current logic to deduce end AM/PM: It currently defaults to a 1-hour meeting, so when Start AM/PM is set, it can simply set Ending hour/minute/AM-PM to 1 hour later, then leave End AM/PM alone as the user sets Ending hour/minute.
    Can I get a witness?
    (Note that the system preference for permitting "Full Keyboard Access" does not resolve this issue. It simply adds all fields to the tab order, which is just as aggravating.)

    I still hate the tab order.
    Doesn't anybody else?
