De-activate and re-activate after HDD failure

Hi, as above computer has a fatal HDD failure, so I can't access Photoshop Elements 11,
how do I de-activate and re-activate on the new HDD install? Thanks in advance, Herman

Your PSE license is for up to two computers, so if you only had it installed once, prior, just install and activate it again. If this new computer would be the third computer, then you’ll need to contact Adobe Activation Support via chat to deactivate your old computer on their server.

Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade

Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade.
What happen: My laptop was working fine, no blue screen issue, no funny business at all. I bought a new SSD Intel 120 GB and thought it would be a good idea to replace the HDD. I shutdown and disconnected the power adapter, waited a couple of minutes and removed the battery. I opened up the back case and replaced the HDD. And put all the screws back and put the battery back in.
Problem: The very first time I turned the power on, nothing happens besides a black screen. I pressed the dvd drive it works and opens up and closes. I waited for about 30 mins and still has blac screen. When I mean black screen, no bios menu, no logo, just a black screen with the fan sound on.
I have tried these:
1. Unplugged everything - battery, adapter, and pressed the power on button for about 60 seconds, nothing, the laptop turns on with the LED display on for both on and battery LED's. But nothing but black screen, no sound of windows loading just the fan and black screen.
2. I tried putting back my old 2.5" and nothing but black screen.
Thoughts and suggestions?
Solved!

How to restore a Macbook Pro after hdd failure?

Hi!
My girlfriend posted a question about her MB Pro mid 2012 which apparently had a HDD failure; she was instructed to take a TimeMachine backup and switch a new HDD/SDD to replace it. Well, I started the TimeMachine copy, but unfortunately the computer crashed; now the computer starts, but keeps spinning the rainbow wheel while trying to log in. Any advice on how to proceed? Can the data be recovered? Can I do it somehow and if I wanted to change the SDD which she bought, how do I boot the computer without TimeMachine backup? Can it be done?
Normally this woudn't be such a huge problem, but unfortunately she needs to read for an exam AND write an academic text. Of course I could lend her my MB but unfortunately I have to do the same....
Solutions? Sorry couldn't find answers so I thought it easiest to just ask plain out straight.

So as a continuation, since she keeps asking, can I go ahead and just download the Yosemite from Apple Store and install it on the new SSD or will it fudge up the laptop again? The things I heard had something to do with kext or TRIM or something like that. Now keep in mind I'm no nerd, so I'm not up to full speed on how SSD and Yosemite work together.
It depends upon the SSD. Here are a couple of excerpts by a trusted colleague of mine in a conversation regarding SSDs and other storage devices. (I do not have an SSD)
Also read this:

Bottom line is if the SSD does not need trim, then install Yosemite. If it does, do not install Yosemite.
Ciao.

Op System restore after HDD failure and replacement

Hi,
     I have an old dv9000 laptop with XPPro factory installed SP2, since upgraded to SP3. The hard drive failed (80Gig Seagate). I checked with the bios setup test, it said "fail" and I checked by booting from the CD drive the windows install disk. It said, no hard drive found. SO I bought a larger 1T byte drive (same mfr Seagate, same rpm 5400) and installed it. I have a network backup drive (Seagate Black armor) and I was able to restore the last backup. The cd drive booted the recovery disk for that program, the hdd light flickered and it seemed to be doing something for 3 hours, then said it was complete.
     But the new drive will not boot. I read on this forum and the common recommendation was to use the System Recovery disks that came with the laptop. I dug through the boxes in the garage and found the system recovery disks and my 14 cd's made for system restore. :-) pays to keep junk sometimes. But I tried the system recovery disk and it will not boot up in the cd drive. I get a blank screen with the cursor in the upper left blinking. I went back to try the Seagate recovery disk, and now, it will not boot up either. I tried removing the new HDD. and with or without a cd in the drive it gives the message "No Op sysytem found." SO I think something has affected the CDdrive. But interestingly with the cursor blinking <cntrl><alt><delete> will reboot the machine, so maybe some part of the op system gets loaded.
    It's an old machine, old op system. I shopped Hp store and only Windows8 available now. SO I'm either forced to the bleeding edge with all the new bugs and learning curve or I try to get this old machine going. Other things I've tied, hard reset, restore bios defaults.
    Any thoughts you may have will be appreciated.
This question was solved.

Hello,
            The laptop is back up and running with the new hard drive, Yay! and a new cd drive.
             Here's what it took, for anybody who ever has the same problem:
             The CD drive was bad. The nearest local supplier on the list that hp parts support gave me had a suitable replacement. I installed that, and the system restore disk booted and ran immediately. I decided to check and see if the windows install disk would run and restore the sytem since I believed I had already restored the whole C: partition. It booted up but did not find the hard drive. It gave an eror message that said no drive found. I went back to the hp system restore disk and ran that. It took several hours reformatted the disk (deleting anything I'd already put on) and rebooted itself many times. Eventualy it came up with a windows desktop. It was as the factory installed 5+ years ago. I installed the Seagate back up software and ran that. It seemed to have more options running in windows than it did running directly from the cd boot. One of the options was to restore the MBR. I had to look up what that was, Master Boot Record. I figured it should be restored. The full C: restore from backup process took another few hours, but it finished and gave an operation successfull message.
             Then I rebooted and got the windows logon screen, logged in and got my desktop as it was at the time of the backup. Success.
             In the future I'll look for that MBR restore, maybe it was there and I missed it the first time. I have a slight nagging worry that maybe something else caused both drives to fail at almost the same time. But, I'm not going to fuss with it. I'm hoping the machine runs well for a while longer.
              Thanks to those who tried to help.

Moving Photoshop Elements and Organizer to a new PC (after HDD failure)

Hi all,
My PC died recently, and suddenly. Thankfully I had a drive backing everything up so I have a complete mirror of my harddrive on an external drive. I have now bought a new PC and have installed PSE9 (with PE9 and Organizer) onto it.
I would like to be able to rebuild all my catalogs and albums, and have all my keywords etc, in my new installation, using the files I have in my back-up drive. There are thousands of photos, going back about 10 years, and it took about three solid weeks to tag them all and fix their dates etc. Can someone please tell me which files I need to copy over into my new installation, and where they should go? The drive names on my new machine will probably be different to the ones I used on my old machine, but beneath that all files are in the same folder structure as they were on my old (now dead) machine. The dead machine ran Vista, and I'm now on Win7.
Please let me know if there's any further information I need to provide.
Thanks in advance.
DNL

Where I am not clear is why a full drive backup (that includes a copy of the catalog, using a 3rd party drive backup tool) led to a situation where the catalog info could not be completely restored to a new PC.
Let's have a look at the result of the complete restoration of a drive.
- Case one : There has been a mirror copy on the second drive
- case two : you have a clone of your disk (I supose it's uptodate at the time of crash...)
In both cases:
The media files are all identical.
The catalogs are identical.
But... there is a difference.
A cloning utility is also able to restore the original drive serial number used by Windows to recognize the different drives.
In the mirrored drive, the serial number is different from the original one.
the catalog contains for each media file:
- the full path : root folder/subfolder 1/sub-subfolder... file name with extension.
- the identification of the drive (serial number plus drive letter)
When the Organizer reads the data in the catalog and wants to access a file via the operating system, it will find all files in the clone, and all files in the the mirrored version will be missing. Then you need to reconnect as mentionned in a previous post. And that's a lot of painful work
So, assuming your mirrored version is strictly ok, the catalog is fooled by the change of drive serial number. You can either have Windows to assign the old serial number or use an sqlite management software to edit that information in the database : catalog.psexxdb.
What I don't know is if the background processes in charge of the accessory jobs of the Organizer (watched folders, face recognition, autoanalysis...) will be correctly restored in a crash situation. So you might lose some information or have to wait for the Organizer to rebuild some of the missing information.
My suggestion to backup also the catalog was to avoid a situation where the user has a syncing software in charge of the media folders only. You are right that the catalog was also backed up in the case of the original poster.

Network card no longer detected after hdd failure

So yeah, my laptop's hdd crashed, I cloned it to another.
It no longer detects my pcmcia card, model GCS2220.
I tried chrooting the install from livecd and reinstalling kernel, still nothing.
Odd thing is, before I chroot the card works fine, after chrooting ifconfig fails to work with eth0.

Did you bind (mount -bind olddir newdir) /dev and mount /sys and /proc (I mean that's the place wherefrom ifconfig gets its information ) from the livecd's environment into ur chrooted environment ??

Visual Studio 2013 Community "Re install" Issues after HDD failure

Hello,
I had a recent failure in my HDD where all my apps were installed (not the OS) and had to replace and re install a lot of apps. But VS 2013 has been given me a hard time. when I try to re install it it only gives me the option to Repair Uninstall or Modify.
I have tried all three with no avail. The errors I am getting are : Fatal Error during installation.
I have also tried to clean up reg keys and temp files. I have also tried previous answers such as re downloading the ISO and installing as admin. I have cleared my Temp folder as well.
From what I can deduce it looks like it's missing reg keys and doesn't know what to do... Here are some logs : Logs1 and Logs2
Please help

Need to find Serial No of AP9 after HDD failure

Hi Adobe,

How do I get iLife and iWork back after HD failure

While I was backing up my HD with Time Capsule the other day, it started to fail (yes, irony abounds).
Cloning didn't work and so I have a repair shop trying to recover my data. I did get a new HD and clean install of Lion (which is what I was using before the failure), but I don't have a complete Time Capsule backup.
What I do have is an older drag-and-drop copy of my User folder and almost all of my apps, but some of them, most notably iWork and iLife, do not drag-and-drop sucessfully.
I tried to go to the App Store, but it seems that there's no record of me buying iWork via the App Store (I can't remember how I bought it) and I can't seem to figure out a way to get iLife back.
What am I doing wrong?
Also, alas, my AppleCare has expired, so the Genius Bar isn't an option.
Thanks!

But of course, my point never was that Apple should "give it away for free." But if disaster strikes, then I don't see a problem with Apple offering re-downloads of AAC files that...
1. the customer has already paid for, and...
2. to a customer that can be positively identified (i.e. can login to the iTunes Store with the same credentials used to purchase the material originally), and...
3. to one of the customer's "authorized" computers.
This just seems like a complete no-brainer of a customer goodwill policy.

How long to rebuild iPhoto Library after HDD failure?

The hard drive on my Macbook Pro died. It was replaced under warrantee (great service Apple)!
I restored from a Time Machine backup. When I started iPhoto, the spinning wheel started - it ran like that for 2 days before I stopped it.
I checked inside the photo library manually, it seems like all of the pictures are there. I have about 8 GB of pictures. How long should something like this take?
Message was edited by: begin2see

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
It should open in a moment.
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Custom method to activate and de-activate custom fields.

Hi All,
I have appended 3 fields on sap std structire incl_eew_pd_item_csf_sc.
The requirement is by default the 3 fields will be not active.The custome fileds will only be changebale if G/L
account of thr item is maintained in table ztable.so i need to develop one custome method & custom class.
If g/l account is not maintained in the dedicated ztable ,these fileds will be de-activated & not ready for enduser.
In case of cost distribution on line item level, the three custom fields will be activated if at least one account assignment line of the item contains a G/L listed in ztable
what code should i write in the method?
Please give any suggestion.
Regards,
Oorvi

Hi,
Correct me if my understanding is wrong.
You have some custom fields shown in the screen which were added to the standard structure.
You want to control the display of those custom fields using the entry in ztable.
If that is the case, depending on the entry in the ztable u can use
   LOOP AT SCREEN
          IF screen-name EQ 'XXXX'.
                disable the field
                Modify screen.
          ENDIF.
   ENDLOOP.
-> U can create an implicit enhancement to create ur custom code.

Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

All iPhones sold in Japan are sold carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked by the carrier. If you unlocked it, it was by unauthorized means (hacked), and support cannot be given to you in this forum.
Hacked iPhones are subject to countermeasures by Apple, particularly when updating the firmware. It is likely permanently re-locked or permanently disabled.

You didn't buy an 'unlocked' iPhone 3GS - you bought a 'hacked' one.
Updating to iOS 5 removed the hack and the unofficial unlock.
All you can do is try to find out which network the phone is locked to and ask them if they can unlock it properly.
Otherwise, sell it or throw it away and buy an officially unlocked phone from an official source.
