Cannot activate CS6 on i-mac after deactivating license on Windows

I have 1 Adobe Design CS6 license with 2 keys: one for Windows and one for Mac
Tried to install and activate on Mac but it says "this key is not valid"
Next steps: opened adobe indesign on the Windowsmachine and chose in the menu "Help-deactivate", so deactivation of the license should be ok.
Then i tried again to activate license on Mac but still "this key is not valid"
Why is that? Anybody?

Time Capsule backup cannot be seen on new MAC after resetting Time Capsule and changing password.

I have backed up my MAC to Time Capsule with Time Machine, erased HDD and clean installed OX Yosemite. After installation I have to reconfigure Wi Fi, so I reset my Time Capsule changed password. Now I cannot see my previous back up on reinstalled MAC. Neither on TM nor on the Manual search. In finder appeared new disk. I am pretty sure that old files are still there. Can anybody suggest how to retrieve them.

This sounds like classic Yosemite.
What you did is fine.. there is no way to delete the backups via the reset button.
What I would suggest is a new clean setup of the TC again.. use a full factory reset.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Redo the setup from the airport utility in the Yosemite computer..
Do not use the recommend names.. use really short names.. no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
eg TCgenx and TCwifi for basestation and wireless names.
You can also setup wireless password as before but I strongly recommend 8-20 character pure alphanumeric mixed case and numbers.. no characters outside of that.
Then mount the TC manually in finder.
Go, Connect to server.
Type in the TC IP address if at all possible.. it is more likely to be reliable than using name.
SMB://10.0.1.1 (replace with your IP but it should be static.. that is default)
Or
SMB://TCgenx.local (use whatever name you have given it.. plus the domain which is always local)
when asked for the disk password supply it and save in the keychain. Then open the disk in finder and you should see your sparsebundle in there.. from migrate assistant you should now be able to see your backup.

Cannot activate CS6 because I did not activate it within required 7 day period [was: Please help]

I recently bought Creative Suit-CS6, however, I didn't install/activate it within the required 7 day period. This is preventing me from being a able activate it. Any suggestions?

First launch means exactly that: after installation, when you first launch the product to use it for the first time.
Most people install and activate at the same time so there's no issue with 7 days.
The 7 day period is just a grace period really. For example, you might have installed the software with no internet connection. So Adobe allows up to a week for activation and you can use the software in that time.
I've been trying a numerous amount of times to activate my software through entering the product code (as instructed) but it is stating that it's unreconizible or invalid.
Your real issue seems to be that your serial number is being rejected. Are you really entering the correct serial number? The serial number is not the product code.

If you are definitely entering the correct number then contact Adobe to sort it out

Cannot activate my Macbook air wifi after updating the Yosemite 10.10.1

after downloading the update OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 the wifi dim out, no way to activate the WIFI

Weirdly, as I spelled out my query, read through some of the other Yosemite-Bluetooth related posts and switched my device on and off, my speaker started working...
Well, I am happy now. Thanks to whatever magic hand got this sorted.

Apple TV, cannot activate on network, but works after

Our environment is a school. We have a Sonicwall firewall and Lightspeed for content filtering. We just purchased 50 Apple TVs.
When we first turn on the Apple TV, we join it to our wireless network. Then it gets stuck on setting date and time. It gets stuck on setting date and time no matter of we are wireless or wired.
So, I broke out my Verizon MiFi and joined the TV to the Mifi. Once on my Mifi, the TV works perfectly, sets up and rocks and rolls.
Then we take it off of the Mifi and join it bac to our network and it works perfectly.
So, we only have to use the Mifi for the first boot up and initial time sync. After that, it works on our network just fine.
Of course, I'm thinking the firewall is blocking something, but I don't know what to look for. What ports does the initial activation use that it doesn't use after that? Nothing is blocked outbound, but I'm guessing there is some return traffic that never makes it to the TV in that initial activation so I need to know what it is.
Ideas? Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks
Cliff

This might help:
Apple TV (2nd gen.) saw my wireless network but did not accept my password (gave a network error message). It fixed instantly doing this:
Made a note of the Apple TV's MAC address. Get it by pressing Menu on the remote, then Settings > General > About. It's called "WiFi address."
Use your browser on a network connected computer to go to your router settings (usually 192.168.1.1).
Under "Wireless > Wireless MAC Filter" (or something similar) do these steps:
Enable Wireless MAC filter
Enable "Permit PCs listed below to access the wireless network"
Enter the Apple TV's MAC address
Click "Save Setting"
When I did this the network connection immediately started working.
Note: These instructions are based on a Cisco Wireless-N Broadband, model WRT160Nv2, firmware v2.0.02.

Cannot send fax from my mac after upgrading to yosemite

I used to be able to send a fax from my Macbook Pro by using Preview and then printing the PDF to the fax capability on my Laserjet colorMFP M475dn.
After installing OS X Yosemite:
a dialog told me that "Some of the software for the printer is missing."
When I clicked the button to install, it then said "You need to install software to use this printer... If the software isn't available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer"
Then I downloaded .dmg files for both the laserjet and officejet (I also have a photosmart I use for scanning)
I deleted the printers and tried to re-add them
When I re-add the laserjet, fax does not show up on the Printer list.
How do I get the fax driver to install on OS X Yosemite?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

My apologies for keeping you informed about reset printing system.
i have attached the screen which tells where the Use option is.
also on the screen where it displays the list of printers wait for few seconds and see if it detects the Fax. It took approx 20sec for me.

Cannot launch PSE 6 for Mac after installation - HELP!!!

I just installed PSE 6.0 for Mac on my new iMac (I'm using OS X 10.5.8), and it installed successfully (at least it appeared to). My first problem was that it did not allow me to register the serial number. That's probably no big deal, but then when I went to start the application, the main window came up, but it did not let me do anything, not even EXIT (it was grayed-out). I shutdown and restarted, but this didn't change anything. I thought PSE 6.0 for Mac would work with OS X 10.5.8? Not sure what's going on here. And why aren't there any error messages telling me what's wrong??? I'm on hold right now to Adobe, but nobody is answering. Very frustrating ...

I just did a 'verify permissions' and it returned 117 messages that said "permissions differ on ... ". Then I did a 'permissions repair', but it did not seem to repair anything because the same "permissions differ on ... " messages came back. It also said "Permissions repair complete", so I don't really know what that means (successful or not??). Below are two examples of the 'error' messages:
1) Permissions differ on "System/Library/Frameworks/CoreVideo.framework/Versions/A/CodeResources", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r-- .
2) Permissions differ on "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DotMacSyncManager.framework/Versions/A/Resources/DotMac SyncHelper.app/Contents/_CodeSignature/CodeResources", should be ?--------- , they are -rw-r--r-- .
What does the permission "l" mean in #1?
Most of the returned messages are similar to #2 ( ... should be ? ---- ...). Not sure if this is okay.

Cannot activate 3.5 transfer structures after BI system copy

We have just completed our first BI system copy (database-specific) from our BI-Production to BI-QA system to refresh database. Have followed the Homogenous System Copy Procedure provided by SAP for Netweaver 7.0, DB2 for LUW. Have been able to reactivate all 7.0 content, but 3.5 transfer structures cannot be activated because the transfer structure tables are not in the ERP QA source system. All 3.5 transfer structures were working prior to the BI system copy. Can anyone provide some guidance. Have issued an OSS Note with SAP, but that can take some time to get resolution. Is there any other resolution than converting 3.5 to 7.0 as this is half of our data?
Thanks for your response!

See SAP Note 493422. Works like a charm.

I am a new user of Mac after many years of Windows my question is What am I doing wrong:

I am busy working when the rainbow wheel comes up as would the spinning mouse on windows, I then have to wait for the rainbow to disappear ie the program to catch up before I can continue. It is brand new machine and shouldnt yet be bogged down.
I have to say at this point in time I am not sure that I have made the right move.
I have installed Mac Office as that is what I have used for many years, so firstly I thought there was a confliction with mail and Outlook as window users know that has been an issue with windows in the passed so I have uninstalled Outlook so as not to duplicate. I have cleaned the calender and contact with downloaded Mac Apps. I am now at a loss what to do next because this isnt a spedy machine. Its a 2.9 HGz Quad core i5 so no light weight my old Dell is a Quad and still has enough speed to keep up with me and is 4 years old. So y only thought left there must be another confliction. Please advise as I am not completly in the know as I would have been with the Windows

As to any conflict between 2 different program that do the same thing and are installed on the same computer at the same time there simply isn't any unless both programs are running at the same time and trying to access the same file at the same time. That is except for AV software that runs all the time.
So having MS Office Outlook installed and Mac "Mac Mail" there shouldn't be any conflict at all. Even if you were to run them at the same time. They are both just Mail and contact programs, in the case of Outlook. They would both just go out to your Email account servers and download the available mail on those servers. One doesn't interact with the other. They just interact with your email account servers, which may cause a conflict on the server but not on the computer.
On my Windows computers I have 2 CAD programs installed, Autocad and Visual Cadd, and run them both at the same time. No conflicts between them as long as I have different CAD drawings open in each. If I try to open the same drawing in each program the program will popup a warning that the files is in use by another program and it willl be opened for Viewing Only or not opened it at all.

CS6 - cannot activate my product after changing my PC config - I did deactivate it on my previous configuration - "serial number is invalid"

I recently changed my desktop PC configuration and unfortunately I cannot activate my CS6 Web&Design serial number on it - I receive "serial number is invalid" message when trying to activate it. I do have an active installation on my laptop, but I don't want to remove it and I should be able to have two computers activated to my serial number. I did deactivate the product on my old desktop PC, so it's no longer tied to it and one activation should be free.
Any help or should I wait for tomorrow and use the chat?

First check if the installation media that you have is correct or not, check which product and version it says on the title bar of the Serial number window.
Download the correct installer according to the language and the Operating system.
Download CS6 products
Second the language, try changing the language in the End User license agreement windows at the beginning of the installation to either English(North America) or International English.
The language option is on the top left corner of the EULA window.
Hope that helps!

Cannot open PDF's after expiration of CS6 trial on Mac

We tried the CS6 trial. Now that it has expeired I cannot use Acrobat on my Mac. Every pdf I try to open takes me to the page asking if I want to license CS6 and will not open the PDF.

If trial period has expired then uninstall CS6. You can install Adobe Reader (a free product) to view the PDF.
