Bought PSE 12, installed, broke computer, new computer cannot reinstall

I am fed up...it's a simple problem and there seems to be nothing but circular logic. I bought PSE 12 (actually upgraded since I have had 9,10 and11 as well) I installed it and had no problem on my old macbook pro. Then I killed my laptop and have a new one. I cannot get the program to reinstall. A few days ago before I gave up in frustration I was told to install the trial and then put in my code to open the full one...that led to some jibberish about needing to update the system. Could I figure all of this out if I had hours to spend running in circles? yes, but I don't .Is there not some straightforward way to install a program I own on a new laptop I own? Like steps 1,2 and 3? Help. I am trying to do a minor project for a friend and am stumped...not to mention aggravated...

Could you please elaborate the exact issue that you are facing with PSE 12?
Do you get any error on Install or launch?
Which serial number error do you get?
Please share the error screenshot, if possible.

New computer - cannot reinstall CS2

I got a new computer, and cannot install CS2 Windows. It is an upgrade. I have Photoshop 5 and Illustrator 8 on the machine, however the installer keeps telling me it cannot find Photoshop and therefore will not install. I contacted Adobe, who told me that since CS2 is "old" they will not help me reinstall it unless I pay $99. Quite frankly I am completely upset since I've been using several Adobe products for years.
Anyway, can anyone tell me how to get CS2 to install? I am on Windows XP Pro.

I don't remember the technical requirement for installing CS2 but I do remember a bug that would keep the installer from seeing an earlier version if you tried to validate the install by simply inserting the CD. It wouldn't work on a DVD drive.
That said how did you get it installed on your old computer? If you didn't need to call then there's a bug in the CS2 installer that fails the verification if trying to do it by inserting a CD into a DVD drive. If that's the case, use a CD drive. Depending on your O/S you could also try installing PS 5 (but I wouldn't do that with Vista.

PSE 9: photos on to newer PC.

I put my old H/D into a newer PC as a slave drive, then copied my photos from it and brought them into PSE 9 installed on the newer H/D. All the photos are there but the version sets are exploded and none of my sub-categories are present. Can I import my (organised) catalogue from back-up DVDs I made earlier? Should I delete all the photos now in PSE 9 on the newer H/D first?
Old system was XP; newer is using Vista.
TIA, Thomas

How do I uninstall PSE completely so I can install on a new computer?

How do I uninstall PSE completely so I can install on a new computer?

First go to Editor>Help>Deactivate. That's really the only thing you have to do if you've used both of your two installations already. If you want to uninstall PSE, then do it via Control Panel in Windows, or on a Mac use the uninstaller in the PSE folder in Applications.
If you have a version of PSE prior to PSE 8, no need to deactivate unless you bought a serial number for the trial via the Buy It Now button in PSE. Otherwise there's no activation on earlier versions.

PSE 5 When installing on a new computer, old tags are lost

We have just purchased and installed PSE 5.0 on a new computer (runing Windows 7). Only a small percentage of the tags added to photos on the former computer were transferred with the new install. I assume the tags attached in PSE should be written to the actual image files and show up under Properties --> Tags on the image file. And then when the new install of Photoshop imports these photos, the tag information should be recognized and imported. But as I said, this happened with a small percentage of photos (less than 10%). When I look at the majority of photos in their Windows folder, they do not have any tags attached in Properties. Yet, they were all tagged within PSE on the old computer. What happened and what to do?
Thanks.

I guess I just figured this out myself after a little more searching. I wasn't aware that we need to click on "Write Tag and Properties Info to Photos" under file.

I can't find my serial numbers and I never registered it on the website! I need to re-install on a new computer! What do I do?

I bought a new computer and cant find my codes for my CS6. I got it through financial aid through school and I never registered the product on the adobe website. I need it installed on my new computer ASAP! Im failing school because of this issue!

You're blaming others for your messy bookkeeping? That's gross! Contact edu support by mail or web chat and have your credentials handy, but otherwise there is nothing anyone can do.

Install Photoshop CS2, new compute, Windows 8.1?

Install Photoshop CS2, which I bought several years ago, on a new computer with Windows 8.1? Adobe uploaded me a version that doesn't require activation, but it doesn't work!

Thanks, Ned. Adobe sent me a link to download a version of CS2 that they say doesn't need activation. I clicked on the link and used their new code to load and authenticate. The App is sitting there, but when I click on it, the box says something is wrong with my username, password or activation and the app will now close. I don't know how to try to download with compatibiity mode. Any clues?

PSE 10 install on second computer

I bought PSE 10 last year and installed it on my own and my husband's computers - I understand that two computers is the maximum - from the Adobe website. Recently, he had to restore his computer to factory default and lost the program. Where can I get a PSE 10 download now so he can resume using it; there is no download for it here on the Adobe site.

actually, the two concurrent installs/activations limit is for one user (eg, one user's home pc and laptop). it's not intended to be used by two different people.
that said, if one person needed to deactivate an installation in order to re-install and that was impossible because of a crash, they would need to contact adobe support for an activation reset: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
also, if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
and activate with your serial.
if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps. the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

Uninstall diskless PS Elements 7 and install on a new computer.

How do I uninstall a diskless version of Photoshop Elements 7 and reinstall on a new computer. Not being too computer savvy, I need detailed instructions please.

Download the installer from here:
Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
All you need to do on your old machine is to deactivate using Help --> Deactivate in teh menu. That's all that matters, the rest takes care of itself when you install on your new machine and enter the serial... just be warned, though. "New machine" implies Windows 7/ Windows 8, which is not compatible with PSE7. You will have to upgrade to PSE 11 in that case.

I am trying to install my creative cloud programs onto my new computer. When I go to the website and log in, it shows that I have a creative cloud membership, but says I have no products. Not sure how I get the program downloaded. Any ideas?

you can install and use on up to two computers at any one time with your single-user license so you need not sign out from your old computer's cc app.
but if you no longer want cc on your old computer, open your desktop cc app and sign out, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
to install on your new computer go here and download the cc desktop app using your adobe id, Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Free Adobe CC trial

I have Adobe 5.0, original disk, 6.0 upgrade, original disk, and Adobe CS2. I'd like to install in my new computer with Win.8.1. Can you help?

I have Adobe 5.0, original disk, 6.0 upgrade, original disk, and Adobe CS2. I'd like to install in my new computer with Win.8.1. Can you help?

Forget about all the versions you already have (5.0 through to CS2). They will no longer work and the serial numbers are redundant.
Download the non-activation version of CS2 form the link provided by kglad and use the new non-activation serial number provided at that link. Your existing serial number(s) will no longer work.
Note: there is no guarantee that CS2 will run well on Win 8.1. Try it and see.

Unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8

unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8
states this app unable to run on this PC

Hello jgrn76,
It sounds like you are getting an error stating that the iTunes installer cannot be run on your computer. I would try downloading the 64 bit version of iTunes from here:
iTunes 11.1.3 for Windows (64-bit)
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1615
If issues persist when trying to install it, I would try running through the steps in the article named:
Issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1926
Otherwise, would you mind elaborating a bit on what the error message says, word for word?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling
