Cannot upgrade to LR4 - I have LR3

I purchased LR 3 online from Adobe's website via download on 2/1/11. ( It was $299 then!).
Anyway, I received an email yesterday announcing the LR 4 upgrade availability. After logging in to my account on the Adobe site, I attempted to purchase the upgrade. I selected it & placed it in my cart. When I go to the checkout page I get this:
Notice that the State/Province box gives me nothing but "Select". No matter whether I select PayPal or Credit Card for the payment option and then hit "Review Order", I always get an error stating that I must select a State/Province!!!!
I know this is not necessarily a support forum. I have spent hours on hold to Adobe support/customer service. I tried chat as well, which was a total waste of time. One time I got a live person on the phone & he claimed that I must purchase the boxed version, which would be shipped to me. After explaining to him that I had originally purchased & downloaded LR 3 online last year, giving him my original order number, he did not know what to tell me & transferred me to the "eternal hold' abyss known as "Customer Service". I have yet to reach a live person in that department after hours of hold time & cut-offs on Adobe's end.
I even tried downloading the trial version of LR4 from the website & cannot even do that!
I am really getting fed up with Adobe. LR is great software & I thank the developers for that. Now they need to "develop" some customer service.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Update:
While waiting on a response from Adobe about my problem, I tried again to download the LR4 trial - which was always unsuccessful using IE9. This time I used Google Chrome & was able to download the LR4 trial. I never had any download issues before with IE9 - from Adobe or any other site.
I called and emailed the Adobe rep & let her know I had downloaded & installed the LR4 trial using Chrome, but the checkout issue was still the same - could not make payment.
I received a response the following day stating that I would receive a free upgrade to LR4 in compensation for my trouble.
This was an unexpected surprise! They are to be issuing my LR4 serial number within the next few days.
Thank you, Adobe!

  • Cannot upgrade from LR4 to LR6

    Hello, I am stuck.. I purchased the LR6 upgrade from LR4 and Adobe says that my product key in invalid.  I need help please..

    Hi ssprengel, I have a LR6 product key that does begin with 1160, I purchased the upgrade from adobe.com and paid the $85 upgrade charge.  I am trying to install the new version and I enter the new product key that I was given when I made the purchase, the installation setup then asks for my old product key which I then enter (from my LR4 key) and a warning pops up saying that it is "invalid."  It is not, invalid, I purchased LR4.
    Basically it won't let me move forward without accepting my old LR4 key.. What do I do now?

  • Cannot upgrade, says I already have iMovie installed.

    I get two messages to update iMovie and iPhoto. When I go to update I get a message that says I already have them installed check iMovie is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates.  I'm going round in circles.  I did upgrade it on my iMac but I cannot do it on my MacBook Pro. Retina, which I purchased in 2012.   I get the same message for iPhoto. My question, why can't I upgrade?

    On my MacBook Pro, it is OSx 10.8.3, 2.6GHZ, Inter Cor 17, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    The iMovie I have is iMovie 11 ver 9.08 and the update would take me to 9.0.9
    The iPhoto I have is iPhoto 11 9.4.2 and the update is 9.4.3
    As I said I try to upgrade these and get they are already installed, choose software update from the apple menu.
    Can you help?

  • I'm using a 15" Macbook Pro running OSX6.8 and cannot upgrade. I have a subscription to Adobe CC but none of these work on this so I was on with Adobe for 5 hours trying to install and launch Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Muse, and Acrobat Pro from CS

    I'm using a 15" Macbook Pro running OSX6.8 and cannot upgrade. I have a subscription to Adobe CC but none of these work on this so I was on with Adobe for 5 hours trying to install and launch Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Muse, and Acrobat Pro from CS6. Well, InDesign is the only one that works and I have a ton of work due! I don't have a serial number for Photoshop or Illustrator except for CS3, and they don't work. InDesign gave me no problems. Illustrator says it can't work on this machine. Photoshop needs a serial number. I'm stumped and getting anxious and freaked out. Can anyone help? Adobe Chat is down right now.

    if you have a cc subscription, close ps > sign out and then back in to your cc desktop > open ps.
    ai cs6 requires:
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7. Adobe Creative Suite 5, CS5.5, and CS6 applications support Mac OS X v10.8 and v10.9 when installed on Intel-based systems.*

  • Calendar clients  4.03 cannot work offline since we have upgraded to Calendar Server 4.0

    Macintosh Calendar 4.03 cannot work offline since I have upgraded to Calendar Server
    version 4.0. When users attempt to either go offline or login offline,
    they receive module errors:
    <P>
    Module:>CApplicationCorporateTime.cp>,
    Label:20, Service error#(0x1320a)
    <P>
    It looks like versions 4.03 and lower clients (primarily on the Macintosh) are unable to
    properly handle data from the 4.0 Server as it was able to in the 3.5 server.
    <P>
    There have been changes made with the new 4.0 server version as to how a
    password is sent over the network to the client. In order for a customer to
    use an old client version (pre 4.5) with the offline agenda, the following
    parameter needs to be set in the server's /users/unison/misc/unison.ini file:
    <P>
    [ENG]
    pwdreturnonitemget = TRUE
    <P>
    Once all users have been upgraded to client version 4.5x or higher, it is
    highly recommended to remove this parameter or to set it to the
    default value FALSE.
    This parameter becomes active as new client sessions are established. It is
    not necessary to stop and start the server.
    <P>
    The best solution for this issue is to only use Calendar client versions 4.5
    or higher.

  • I have a Mac OSX Version 10.4 and iphoto 6. I cannot upgrade to a later version of iphoto 6 because it requires a 10.5.6 or later. What can I do?

    I have a Mac OSX version 10.4.11 and iphoto 6. I can no longer order cards, prints etc. and cannot upgrade to a newer version of iphoto because I don't meet the system requirements of 10.5.6 or later. What can I do?

    Unless you upgrade the OS and then iPhoto, not a lot, I'm afraid.

    Glenn,
    I tried upgrading to leopard, even bought the software and brought it home but it wouldn't let me. So i went back to apple, gave them the specifications of the machine and been told my machine is simply too old for leopard. This is incredible to me because it really isn't THAT old (i think just a little over 6 years maybe) and yet i'm left out on the curb when it comes to using newer apple products. I understand technology moves on but the mindset that i am supposed to dump a perfectly working machine after a couple of years or face not being able to use any other apple product is counter to what thought apple was about.

  • I cannot upgrade to FFv4.0, even though I am using OSX 10.5.8, I have 2.25GB RAM and 6.24GB disk space. I can't even give feedback via FF3.6...this is crap!

    I cannot upgrade to FFv4.o.
    According to Mozilla website software specs (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/), I have to be running either OSX 10.5 0r 10.6 - I am using 10.5.8. So I assume I have the minimum requirement?
    Under ''recommended'' hardware (not required or minimum) it says I also need 512MB of RAM (I have 2.25GB), and 200MB of disk space (I have 6.24GB).
    I can't even give feedback via FF3.6, which is ridiculous.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
