Can't deactivate PS CS6 on old computer - how can I I install it on new machine

Hi -
I have had Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4 since mid-2012..
The hard drive failed on the machine they were installed/activated on, so I cannot
de-activate them. How then can I install them on my new replacement machine?
Thank you!

I forgot to add that your allowed two installs on two of your own computers, so you can go ahead and install
on your new computer and it should still activate unless you already used up your two activations.

I downloaded photoshop extended two years ago on my old computer, how can I download it again to my new computer? I already purchased it as well.

I downloaded photoshop extended two years ago on my old computer, how can I download it again to my new computer? I already purchased it as well.

Download it from exactly the same place you downloaded it previously. If you purchased it from Adobe, you link is still available. If you don't have the email confirmation of your purchase, then log into Adobe.com and go to your account page to look at your Orders.

Broke my old computer, how can i get my old account on to new computer?

My old computer was destroyed before I could retrieve any information off of it. I was given a computer that already had itunes installed, but now I can't use this new computer as my primary account and cannot sync my ipod with this new computer without first dlelting all of my ipod information. How can I get this cuurent itunes account back to "virgin" and how can I make this my one-and-only syncable itunes account? Thank you so much for any help you can offer!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use this to put eveything back.

I bought a used iMac with cs6 already installed. If I want to use cs6 on another computer, how would I load/install it (I can't seem to find any serial number)?

sorry th title is so long. Wondering if I can use cs6 on another computer besides my 2009 iMac. Thanks.

Transfer of software to another owner is usually handled by Adobe.
So if you do not have a serial number its not yours to use.

HT204053 My wife currently has two different apple accounts as we changed our email address plus got a new computer. I believe that all of her info is under her old email address plus on the old computer. how can we merge the two accounts

My wife currently has two different Itunes account as one is on the old computer with our old email address, Instead of changing the email address on the old account we created a new itunes account with her new gmail address. I just updated the new update for her iphone however I cannot get her contacts etc moved to the new phone as I believe they are all on her old account. It says I need as well to authorize this computer for the itunes store as well but in her account it says one computer authorized (old one) but cannot figure our how to get the new computer authorized as well.

You should be able to authorise the account via the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes (if you are using iTunes 11 on a PC then control-B should get the menus to show)
e.g.

I have an old hard drive from a ruined computer attached to my new one but i cant find my old bookmarks which i want to install on the new machine. help please!

my old computer was running vista, and i had hundreds of bookmarks in many folders, but i cant find these when exploring the old drive. I presume i cant use the import facility as i wouldnt be able to access the firefox browser itself on the old drive, but i was hoping the bookmarks would be stored somewhere accessible

thanks for the suggestions weather15 - the firefox help site you directed me to explains what ought to happen but i cant make it work. I shut my firefox browser on my new machine and attach the hard drive from my old machine. I can explore the contents of that drive but when i search it for the suggested folder " %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\" nothing is found. when i try and open firefox from the old drive, the browser opens that is the new version that i have on my new computer with no saved bookmarks! Am I doing everything right?

I can synx my ipad to a diffrent computer, how can i sync it if it doesnt do it on its own

i Cant sync my ipad to a "new" computer, if it doesnt sync on its own how can i make it?

You can only sync with one computer. If you are moving to a new computer backup your iTunes media folder and transfer to the new machine.

Lost old computer how can I sync with new?

The computer I used to sync my iPhone has stopped working and I really would like to sync my phone so is there any way to sync my phone to another computer without losing everything?

Whatever you bought/downloaded from iTunes Store can be re-downloaded from there to your new computer and synced to your iPhone, or iPod. Just sign into your iTunes account.
As far as music that didn't come from iTunes Store there are non-Apple programs to move music from your iPhone to iTunes on your new computer. I'm using PodWorks (not cheap,~ $8); another is Senuti. There are many others & some good ones are free.
I agree that you should be using a backup. But that's not the question you asked, just something we all need to do. Saves a lot of headaches.

Can't deactivate software on a crashed computer and can't reach support

My computer bit the dust, harddrive sudden death. I have reinstalled CS5 on my new computer. But because I had the software on my laptop and my desktop, it won't activate. Adobe thinks I have it on two computers already, and technically, I do. But I can't de-activate it on the dead desktop. And I can't get hold of any support whatsoever. Currently I have been on hold sitting for over 45 minutes. I look for chat support, and the Adobe site tells you what chat support is but there is no chat support button anywhere. No email options. I am screwed! Any ideas?

I did not deactivate a photoshop cs6 before there was a new hard drive installed with a Win7 Pro fresh install too. How can I activate photoshop on the new hardware if I can't deactivate it on the old hardware that is no longer available? Any help will be

I did not deactivate a photoshop cs6 before there was a new "C" hard drive installed on my computer and a Win7 Pro fresh install too. How can I activate photoshop on the new hardware if I can't deactivate it on the old hardware that is no longer available? Any help will be appreciated.

If it's the same machine (same CPU) there should not be any need to activate. The actiovation is tied to your CPU.

In this complicated case, I think it's important that you get your work in.
The Photography Plan includes Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC. Open an account with them and for $10 a month you can be back in business which I think nets you more than $10. It's what I do. You can do this immediately. You get two seats and they can be either Mac or PC.
In your spare time you can sort out the license issue and cancel the plan later on if this is fixed.
If you don't want to go there, then you will have to call Customer Service by phone and hope they can fix this.

Deactivate photoshop elements from old computer.

I am wanting to deactivate adobe photoshop elements from my old computer, how do I do this?

If you can access your old laptop & the application over it, you can deactivate your app by lauching it and then selecting "Deactivate" from Help menu. Please make sure you're connected to net for a successful deactivation from the server, which is related to the activation count.
Wait for a successful deactivation msg to come for a few seconds & you're done then
For more details, pease do folow the link Nikhil Bise has shared in his post above.
Thanks.

How can I copy bookmarks from my old computer to my new computer, both with Windows XP Pro?

Transferring bookmarks from old computer to new computer, both with Windows XP Pro?
Thanks for your h4elp.
Also, can I create a file of bookmarks in MS Word or Open Office so that I can save them?

You can export your bookmarks to an HTML file on your old computer, and them import that file on your new computer. The HTML file also is your backup, and if you open it into Word, you could save it as a DOC file if you prefer.
For more information, check out these articles:

Hello how can i transfer photo for my old computer to the new one

hello how can i transfer photo for my old computer to the new one

If your computers are connected to the same network, you can turn on Sharing to allow you to see the contents of one from the other and do transfers. If there is no network, you can use "target disk mode" explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13842
Otherwise, you will need to use external storage such as a USB flash drive.

How can I access my itunes account, old computer crashed?

My computer has crashed and have recently purchased a new one, all my movies, books, music was on the account on this computer, how can I access it again?
I have all my downloads, movies, books, music, so how can I acces that itunes account if my computer has crashed and now have a new computer?

The easiest way to get back missing items? Restore your whole hard drive with all your irreplaceable things like photos in about 20 minutes from the backup clone you make on a regular basis.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; only apps, books (not audiobooks), music, and t.v. shows (not movies). Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
I am a bit confused by your use of the word "account". You may have an "account" on the iTunes Store. What you have on a computer is your user account, part of which is the iTunes folder which usually houses a collection of files that make up what you see when you open the iTunes application. When you open iTunes it does not normally open an account to your files, it just opens the ones on your computer. If your old computer died and you can not longer use the hard drive (which is not necessarily true but we would have to know more about the situation in detail) then not only your media but your playlists, ratings, etc. are also gone (unless you have a backup). As indicated above, iTunes Store will let you download some things again, if they are still there and you are running iTunes 10.3 or greater. Things like movies are gone unless you have a backup copy elsewhere. The iTunes store does not contain playlists, etc, nor your ratings since all you are doing is downloading brand new copies again.
