Can't activate on mac 10.7 Lion-Error communicating with server

I followed help to remove former install and manually install; tried to sign in and activate get same error as when I also tried "don't authorize andactivate" which was: Error communicating with AdobeID server. Try again later. E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY"
I'm getting VERY frustrated with this new LION OS on this mac. I can't use OVERDRIVE media-it won't work, I can't use ADOBE, it won't work. I'm about to take it back to where I bo't couple days ago and go back to iPhone which overdrive ALWAYS works and forget all else!
If ANYONE knows ANY solution, since it seems one can never talk to a LIVE person at ADOBE to get help, I'd sure appreicate it.

The way that it is supposed to go, is that when you Launch ADE for the first time, there is a system dialog that supposed to come up and ask you for your login password, so that ADE can get access to the keychain to add the "Digital Editions" password entry.
If you cancel out of that dialog, or don't enter in the password, then you will get the "E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY" error.
Make sure that when you launch ADE that this dialog doesn't come up behind ADE (minimize ADE).

MacBook pro does not start. How can I back to Mac OS X Lion?

I have a MacBook Pro. On my MacBook i made three partition, then I installed window 8. After that I started windos and try to delete third partition by Administrator tool from windows operating system. After that my MacBook does not start. How can I back to Mac OS X Lion?
After that I again install windows 8 from a DVD. Windows start well, but I can not start Mac OS system, may be it was 10.6. Sever times I tried to install OS X Lion 10.7 thought DVD, I could not. On MacBook I have a lot of important data.
What can I do. I want to a complete suggestion. Please help me to solve the problem.
My MacBook Pro model no. A1286.

You installed Windows improperly the result of which was to wipe out the bootloader for OS X. You can give this a try:
Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
"OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select the OS X disk icon from which you want to boot.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
If you are still unable to boot from the OS X volume then you will need to reinstall OS X:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
This will destroy the Windows bootloader so you cannot boot into Windows. The solution is to remove all the partitions on the drive except the OS X partition, then expand the OS X partition to take up the entire drive.
Use Boot Camp Assistant in the Utilities folder to create a Windows partition on which you can install Windows. You cannot have any other partitions on the drive besides these two.
Now given all the above you may be able to install a third-party bootloader that would work with the setup you now have: Boot Runner 1.4.

Can't activate FaceTime after installing Mountain Lion

After installing Mountain Lion, I opened Facetime and attempted to activate it using my Apple ID, this was what I got:
"The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later."
I created a new Apple ID and tried again; same thing. I contacted Apple Support for help. After hours of instructions, reboots of my MacBook, reinstalling Mountain Lion, and a lot of patience later., the outcome was the same. It just couldn't be activated.
Today, I tried to activate Game Center, know what? Similar problem. This was the error message I've got:
"The requested operation couldn't be completed due to an error communicating with the server."
Any idea?

This usually caused by a customised hosts file.
These need to be the only entries in your /etc/hosts file:-
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1       localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0     localhost
Remove anything below these entries, then try and reconnect with GC. Once GC starts properly you can put the extra entries back in your hosts file, GC should start normally afterwards.

Can I buy a Mac Pro in the U.S., with a German keyboard?

can I buy a Mac Pro in the U.S., with a German keyboard?

The Mac Pro Tower is NOT a laptop computer. It weighs 65 lbs, and holds four full-size Hard Drives. It uses a detachable keyboard.
US English
Western Spanish
French
Japanese
... are readily available at the Apple Online Store, in wired and wireless.
For German, you would have to call them and make special arrangements, or pick one up an additional keyboard when you get back home.
This thing won't fit in your suitcase. Are you sure you want to pay to ship it home again? I would be tempted to sell it when you are leaving, and buy a new one at Home.
A laptop would be a better choice. These are also available with the same four choices of languages (in all models) through the online store.
You can make all the German characters and accents with the USEnglish keyboard, but some are two keystrokes.

Okay, folks, after a 3 1/2 hour phone call with a (very patient) telephone support person at Blackberry, here's what I learned.
You can check your USB drivers this way:
Plug in your phone into your USB drive. Assuming your Blackberry is "seen" by your computer...
Go into the Device Manager on your computer (control panel)
Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers item on the bottom of the list
Right-click on BlackBerry Smartphone and choose Properties
Click on the Driver tab
Click on the Driver Details button
You should see one driver. I saw two. The one the BlackBerry likes is the RimUsb one.
So here's what NOT to do: We tossed the entire driver that was the "extra". This effectively made using my mouse and keyboard impossible, as they are USB, and sent my poor husband into the basement to find a million-year-old keyboard (and then a mouse) with the old fashioned kind of connectors (PS2). Bleh. Don't do that.
Here's what I did that worked (not saything this will work for you -- this modifies the Registry so better do a system backup with that backup and restore if you're nervous about this sort of thing):
From the start menu, choose run, and type regedit to get into the Registry editor.
Follow this file path: Computer, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, Class
Click on: {36FCE60-C465-11CF-8056-4445535400000}
If there's an item on the right called "UpperFilters", delete it. (see pictures)
Hope this helps someone.

Can't re-install Mac OS X Lion

I am not able to start my Macbook Air – I get the grey screen and revolving circle. So …
I am trying to re-install Mac OS X Lion via the Command-R utility on start up.
I am asked for my Apple ID and on entering it I get the message: “This Apple ID has not yet been used with App Store. Please review your account information”
I then press Review and nothing happens.
I have logged into my Apple ID on another comuter and have tried to update bits of information so that perhaps it can believe that it's active but to no avail.
(I would use my Time Machine to restore but I am currently abroad and don't have my Time Machine backup drive)
Please advise.

I can't get the mac app store. There's no software update availiable and it seems i can't upgrade to Mac OS X Lion without that.

There's no mac app store availiable to download for me.
I want to upgrade to Mac OS X Lion, but without that mac app store it seems to be impossible.
I did all software updates but never got that mac app store. So what can I do now?

THis is because you have two OS X upgrade steps. First, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard ($29 us, disk only, no download).
Once you've upgraded to Snow Leopard, and run Software Update to get to 10.6.8 then you'll have the Mac App Store and can take the second OS X upgrade step to Lion 10.7.2.

I can't download the Mac OS X Lion, has another way I can install it on my white macbook?

I Can install it for free Lion recently bought my macbook. However I can't download it via the App Store. I wonder if there is another way for me to install the Lion?
Thank's!!

If you sign in to the App Store and under Purchases, Lion shows a greyed out 'Installed' button to the right, you can redownload it by signing into the App Store, press and hold your OPTION key and click on 'Purchases' along the top of the App Store menu. You should see to the right of Mac OS X Lion the button ungreyed and saying 'Install'. Click 'Install' to redownload. After the download finishes, an installer window will come up for you to install.
