Deactivation option missing from CS3

I'm trying to move an installation from one PC to another.
It's a single-user licence (I think), it has a serial number and has been activated over the net.
So I need (again I think) to Deactivate it on PC #1 before I can activate it on PC #2.
The online help says that under the Help menu I should see a Deactivate option. But I don't.
The options under Help are Photoshop Help, About Photoshop, About Plugin... , Patent and Legal notices, System Info, Photoshop Online, and a whole load of How-to's about using the product.
Can anyone advise how I can deactivate and move this installation?
The product version is 10.0.1 and the OS is WinXP SP2.

I have left it on line for four hours this morning, and the deactivation option is still not visible. The Help menu still looks exactly the same as in my first post. I've attached a screenprint to this post, in case it jogs anyone's memory of something.
A possibly-relevant point is that the PC I am trying to do this on is NOT actually the selfsame PC where the licence was originally installed - it is another of the same make and model, on which I have installed a Ghost image of the original one. The original one was recycled to another user (without the Photoshop software) and I don't know where it is now. Does this licencing function check the MAC address or the Hard Drive or mobo ID or anything like that? The software is fully operational on this ghosted PC so it has not "noticed" anything wrong as far as I can tell.
Do I need to try and hunt down the actual original hardware?
Now you've changed the whole scenario.
Yes, the activation is tied to the hard drive where the software was installed!
Interesting that the ghosted version thinks it's legal!
BTW, it's better to post JPG screen shots via the little camera icon in the message box.

"Deploy" Option Missing from VS

We just finished installing SharePoint 2013 RTM and VS 2012 for development purposes. I also installed the Preview 2 of the Office and SharePoint Dev Tools. The "Deploy" option which was previously present in Visual Studio to deploy SharePoint projects seems
to have disappeared. Oddly, I can however still tell the projects to Debug, which does the equivalent of Deploy + starts the debugger.
This is an extremely annoying issue as it is much faster to Deploy without starting the debugger. If anyone has any solution I'd be very appreciative. Thanks.

MPEG-2 option missing from Adobe Media Encoder (ver7.2.0.43)

Hi all,
Having an issue getting the MPEG-2 option for our Creative Cloud installation, specifically in Media Encoder's presets.
The following steps were recommended on another Adobe forum addressing this issue:
1.Uninstall Adobe Premiere Pro or the Creative Suite.
2.Run the cleanup script found here: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
3.Reinstall Adobe Premiere Pro or the Creative Suite.
4.Launch Adobe Premiere Pro.
5.When prompted for activation during launch, ensure that the computer is online and complete activation.
If the computer cannot be brought online, complete the offline activation during the first launch of the software. Do not choose to activate later.
6.After Activation, close and restart Adobe Premiere Pro.
We have been able to run through steps1 to 4, however the Activation option in #5 does not appear at all (must be activation is included as part of our CC license).
Without the option to deactivate/activate Premiere how can we go about getting the MPEG-2 option to appear?
Thanks again

Hi Jim,

Aperture 3 save PDF to folder as JPEG option missing from PDF services?

I have Aperture 3 downloaded from the App store in a MAC OSX 10.6.7 but the save PDF to folder as jPEG option is missing from the print menu? I do not have discs to re-install Aperture so can I add a workflow directly to the PDF services library and if so where can I get a copy of this workflow?

Hi frank, thanks for the advice, I am very new to Apple and Aperture. I think I am looking at the second print menu, I am basically trying to add text to a phot and have followed this online guide
http://photo.rwboyer.com/2010/02/07/aperture-book-tool-screen-cast-take-two/
I can do everything except the last part which is save PDF to folder as JPEG. My version of aperture does not give me this option and I only have access to the following:
Open PDF in preview
Save as PDF
Save as Post Script
Mail PDF
Save as PDF-X
Save PDF to iPhoto
Save PDF to web receipts folder
Pictures
Edit Menu
There is no option to Save PDF to folder as JPEG and I cannot add this function from the Edit menu? Previous discussions suggest re-installing Aperture 3 but I downloaded this from the App store so do not have discs to reinstall?
Thanks
Mike

Edit option missing from SOME photos

Several of my iPhone pictures on the camera roll do NOT have the edit option available. Most of them do, but several do not. I noticed that the pictures that do not have the edit option anymore are photos that I have already edited at least once in the past. Any idea why the edit option is all of a sudden missing from those photos, but is not missing from others?

HFM icons,explore option and Financial Reporting option missing from Workspace 11.1.2.1

Hi,
We finished installing and configuring hyperion 11.1.2.1. We noticed unusual behavior in Workspace, All the HFM icons are missing from the menu , it is showing some hfm path. Explore option and financial reporting options are also missing from the Preferences and workspace. Can you please advice what could be causing this issue ?
Regards,
Andy

Hi Thanos,
Thanks for the reply. Actually i tried to login to HFM client but it says application not registered. So when i tried to register it from workspace, it gives error. I have already configured all the components but i didn't reconfigure Foundation web server after every component. Is it okay if i do it now when all the components are already configured ? Or do you suggest reconfiguring all the components again followed by Foundation web server ?
Also do you think it will help me get explore option in the workspace ?
Kindly advice. Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Andy

Audio and Video option missing from Export Quicktime Movie Include

Today as I was exporting a clip, I noticed that the Audio and Video option was missing from the Include drop down. I only have the options of Left, Center, Right.
I highlight the sequence, control E (or File>Export>Quicktime Movie) and the Save window comes up. The Settings drop down is the same, the Markers: drop down is the same, but the Include: has the options of Left, Center and Right. I thought the Video and Audio dropdowns were always there. I hate to admit it, but I have not paid attention to them in a while. Getting old I guess.
Sequence settings is 720x480 NTSC DV (3:2)
NTSC - CCIR 601 / DV (720x480)
Lower (Even)
29.97
QT Video Settings
DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
100%
Audio
48 kHz

Did I miss something?
Thanks

Thanks, forgot about that.
For what ever reason it started working correctly a couple of hours later, after I started an SD project. The video came out fine
I had been trying out a couple new applications, so maybe one was causing it. I will see if it happens in the future.

"Preferred Network" option missing from Airport tab

My computer was just joining networks, so I switched my MPB to "By Default, Join: A specific network". Now I find that I've got to tell my computer to join the wireless network at work. Since I'd like my computer to join both my home networks without interaction from me I read the help file to figure out how to do it. The help file said to choose "Preferred Networks" from the "By Default, Join:" popup menu, but the popup menu on my computer only had one choice, "A specific network".
Anyone know what might have happened to the other options in that popup menu?
Thanks,
Chris

Replying to my own post, bad form...
I don't know why "Preferred Networks" was missing from my "By Default, Join:" menu, but I discovered that I could get the option back by creating a new location and migrating my old settings to the new location.

'Subfolder format' option missing from iPhoto '11 (v. 9.2.3)

Hi all,
I am trying to export all 697 events (60,565 pics/videos) in my iPhoto library to an external hard disk. I want to export them in the same folder structure, retaining the event names. I am not so fussed about retaining file names. After researching how to do this on the web, it appears that I should be able to do this easily using iPhoto '11 export options, however, the 'Subfolder format' option is missing from my export options box, even when I have selected multiple events.
Can anyone help me out please?
Thanks,
Sarah

The sub folder feature is available in iPhoto 9.4.3. I don't know about the earlier iPhoto 9 (11) versions. If you installed iPhoto from the iLife 11 disk you will have installed iPhoto 9.0 or 9.1. You can use the following updaters to get to 9.4.3:
1 - update to iPhoto 9.2.1
2 - update to iPhoto 9.3
3 - update to iPhoto 9.3.2
4 - update to iPhoto 9.4
5 - and finally to iPhoto 9.4.3

Options missing from AirPort Utility

I have several Airport Express devices with AirTunes and Printer sharing set up.
I need to turn on the "Share printers over Ethernet WAN port" setting but it is missing from the Airport Utility today. I'm sure I've seen it there before. I can even find it in the "Find a setting" search, i.e. I type "share" and "Share printers over Ethernet WAN port" shows up in the suggestions. When I click on it I'm taken to the tab that the manual says it is on but it just isn't there. Not even greyed out!
Has anyone seen anything like it?

How do you have the AirPort Express (AX) configured?
This setting would only be available if the AX is:
(a) Connected directly via Ethernet to the internet or LAN.
(b) Configured to create a network.
(c) Configured to share a single IP address (distributing IP addresses).
This setting would not be available if the AX is configured to operate as a bridge. In this mode, printing and music streaming services are available through the Ethernet port so there is no need for the option.
This setting also would not be available if the AX is configured to join a wireless network as a client. In this mode the Ethernet port is disabled.

Flash application missing from CS3 Design Premium disk,OSX?

Does anyone know if the Flash application is missing from the CS3 Design Premium disk,OSX? I installed all the programs a while ago and never opened the Flash program. Now, when I do, I can't open the application. There are other folders for Flash, but no application. It seems that it is missing. I tried to reinstall it from the original disk, but the installation is interrupted by a message that asks that the Fireworks CS4 disk be inserted. I had downloaded a trial Fireworks CS4, but do not have a disk. I uninstalled Fireworks ( according to adobe's instructions) and tried to install Flash again, but keep getting the same 'Fireworks CS4 disk be inserted' message. Does anyone know anything about this? Any help would be appreciated!

Yes, you unisntall the whole suite. It only uninstalls the programs, any user data and configuration is unaffected. If you wanan back it up, regardless, check your Users:You:Preferences:Adobe and Users:You:Documents folders and copy the stuff there toi a safe location.
