Can't deactivate or uninstall CS3 from old PC to put on new PC

Hi, I want to deactivate my CS3 master collection from my old PC and install it to my new PC but, I can't because I had previously tried to uninstall it (unsuccessfully). After clicking the uninstall button from the uninstall program window there was no uninstall window to guide me through the process. I waited for something to happen for about 90 minutes, but nothing happened. Now, after trying the uninstall, it won't let me open any of the programs and it still won't let me uninstall them from my old computer. I've already tried to install my CS3 master collection to my new computer but, it won't let me open any of the programs due to licensing issues. Every time I try to access any of the programs on my old PC, I get a dialogue box that states "licensing for this product has stopped working." To sum it up, I can't deactivate from any of the programs on my old PC since licensing issues (brought on from the unsuccessful uninstall) won't grant me access, and it still won't uninstall from my old computer. Help!

first, try re-installing on your old computer (over your current installation).
if you're lucky you'll be able to open a cs3 program > click help > click deactivate.
then open your win control panel and uninstall your cs3 from your old computer.
then uninstall, clean and reinstall cs3 from you new computer per - Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

I want to remove Creative Cloud from old computer and put on new computer

I want to remove creative cloud from my old computer and install it on my new computer. How do I do this with ending my subscription?

Thanks for trying to help.
I’m still unsure of what to do.
I bought a new computer and I want to both uninstall adobe from my old computer
and do an install into my new computer without canceling my adobe plan and
with having adobe only on one computer … not two of them.
Do I just drag the adobe products from the applications folder into trash in my
old computer? Does that uninstall them.
Then just install on the new computer.
Thanks.

you just need your serial number and the installation files.
if you don't have your serial number, it can be recovered from your old computer if it's a pc using Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer.…

Have 2004 eMac...screen goes black without notice. Getting a reconditioned 2005 eMac. Can I have the HD swapped from old eMac to reconditioned one without problems??? Black screen is called "collapse to black" and occurs 4-5 daily

Have 2004 eMac...screen goes black without notice. Black screen is called "collapse to black" and occurs 4-5 daily. From what I understand, this is due to bad capicators????? Found a reconditioned 2005 eMac on line. Can I have the HD swapped from old eMac to reconditioned eMac without problems???...with regards to software applications. Old eMac is running 10.4.11 and reconditioned on runs 10.5. Suggestions, tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Might want to make sure both units are not affected. This is the range of serial number from the now-defunct Apple Repair Extention Program for USB 2.0 eMacs:
G8412xxxxxx- G8520xxxxxx
YM412xxxxxx - YM520xxxxxx
VM440xxxxxx - VM516xxxxxx
A "collapse" is more indicative of a video cabling issue, but the bad caps produced such a wide range of problems that it's hard to sort through them.
If the old eMac is a USB 2.0, which a 2004 unit should be, the HD should exchange with the new one. As the last of the eMacs shipped with Tiger, the new computer should have no probelms with a 10.4 boot volume on the old drive. You can upgrade to Leopard one you have hte new disk in place.
NOTE: Takeapart and reassembly on the USB 2.0 must be done "just so" or you can permanently damage the power switch. Instructions for the USB 1.1 takeapart are slightly different , and the power swtich damage is usually caused by people using the older instructions on a newer eMac.
If you are not up to the takepart nor can you find a local computer tech who knows these. consider taking the drive out of the dead computer(won't make much difference if you damage that one as it's dead), buy an external Firewire enclosure, and put the old drive on it and use it to move data to the new computer. Then you can leave the external attached as a backup drive.
Is the new one a 1.42Ghz model? They have been practically trouble-free around here. We have one and it's been rock solid since we bought it as a refurb in Jan 2006. The 1.42G has the advantage of a Core Image-enabled video chipset, the ATI 9600.
And all USB 2.0 eMacs can, with modern memory modules, support up to 2G of RAM.

Can I merge ical from old, non cloud Mac with new one?

Can I merge ical from old, non cloud Mac with new one?
I cannot sync from old G5 so if I backup that iCal, can I merge it with new iCal on my new Mac without losing new Mac calenday details?
Thanks.
Jeff

Jeff,
First, iCloud: How to back up iCloud data.
Next, use iCal>File>Export>Export...for the calendar that you want to use for the export. Move the .ics file to your new computer, and double click the file. You will be offered a choice of creating a new calendar in iCloud, or importing to an existing calendar. Make the appropriate choice for your circumstances.

Call Apple and make a appointment.

Balance transfer from old recon a/c to new recon a/c

Hello
We have changed the vendor''s reconciliation account.....now we have to transfer the balance of open items....from old recon a/c to new one..........
....what is the best way to do this.......
regards

It says:
A balance sheet eadjustment distributes
receivables and payables in customer and vendor reconciliation accounts,
Account Determination
For each account, you can specify an adjustment account to post the readjustment to. Otherwise, the system posts the readjustment to the original account.
To distinguish readjustment postings from other postings, you should create separate adjustment accounts and have the readjustments posted to them.
Since reconciliation accounts cannot be posted to directly, you have to specify adjustment accounts for them.
Since readjustments are posted without tax, the accounts posted to cannot be relevant to tax.
Adjustment accounts are determined when calculating the distribution.
Can you please check the configuration in OBBW.
Define Adjustment Accounts for Changed Reconciliation Accoun
In this activity you define the numbers of the accounts for the automatic transfer postings which are made if the reconciliation accounts are changed. Postings are made to these accounts to sort the open items.
Sorting open items is necessary to be able to display the receivables and the payables according to the legal requirements for creating balance sheets.
Activities
1. Enter the required accounts.
2. Make sure that the accounts you enter are created.

How can I transfer the music in my old Ipod classic to a new Ipod, not only the Itunes purchases?

How can I transfer the music in my old Ipod classic to a new Ipod (not only the Itunes purchases)?

You'll need to copy the music from the old iPod back to iTunes first before you can transfer it to your new iPod. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another?

Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another computer?

Yes. You have to deactivate it on one computer and then you can install it and activate it on another. Technically, your license allows you to have Photoshop CS6 installed and activated on two computers, you just can't use both at the same time.

How to transfer ring tones from old PC itunes library to new PC itunes library

I have upgraded my computer and am in the process of importing the music, apps, audiobooks, etc from my old computer & iTunes library to my new computer. I am using the HomeShare feature to do the import and it has worked flawlessly for everything except ringtones. When I access my ringtones in the old library, the "Import" button does NOT appear in the lower right hand corner like it does for music, apps, etc. So, how then do I transfer my ringtone library from the old iTunes library to the new one??? Thanks for any and all help.

Unfortunately iTunes won't let you just "Copy" and "Paste" out of the library. However, you can drag and drop files from your library into a USB drive and then drag and drop them from the USB drive into the new library.
This is not the best way to do it,
As dieselvdub noted, just copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
Then is is an exact duplicate of the old library (same ratings, artwork, playlists, date added, # plays, etc.), not just a new library with all content

How can I transfer my pictures off an old iPod touch to my new computer if it doesn't recognized the device??

- Does the iPod work?
- If you have a PC, it just has to appear in My Computer to get pohtos saved to the iPod. Those are in iPod's Saved Photos) album into a computer
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- If the photos were synced to the computer you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or Phone view to get to to a computer.
