Deauthorize CS6 Master Collection from a hard drive that has crashed

The hard drive in my MacBook Pro has crashed and I have ghotten a replacement drive and installed it.
I need to re-install my Creative Suite 6 Master Collection on the new hard drive, but I cannot activate it since it is activated on my crashed drive.
What's the best way to get this fixed? Is there a website I can visit to deauthorize the old copy so I can re-authorize the new install on my new hard drive?
Thank you for your help.
I'm running CS6 on a MacBook Pro running Yosemite OS X 10.10.

You need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations (you are allowed to have two machines with activated installations).

  • Can I recover data from a hard drive that has crashed?

    My computer had frozen up so I had to restart it by holding down the power button. After I had done this, I kept getting a recurring kernel panic error. I had taken my MacBook the Apple Store and the tech who looked at it said that my hard drive was no longer good and that I would either have to replace it or purchase a new laptop. Regardless of whether I replace my hard drive or just purchase a new laptop, would there be any way to get my data that I lost off my old hard drive. I have some stuff backed up, but not recent data.
    I appreciate any advice. Thanks

    You could try putting the old hard drive into an external hard drive case since it sounds like the drive isn't completely dead.

  • If I salvage firefox's passwords file from a hard drive that has crashed, will it work on a different hard drive?

    nvm this, double post.

    You need both files - '''signons.sqlite''' and '''key3.db''' - which work together. The first has the encrypted data and the second contains the encryption keys for the first. Neither can be used without the matching file.

  • How do I transfer pictures from a hard drive that has an older version of iPhoto?

    My old mac broke, so they removed the hard drive and put it in a case for me, and I bought a new MacBook Pro. I thought it would be as simple as plugging in my old hard drive so I could see all my old photos, but when I try to do so, it says that the version is not supported on this computer. It tells me to update the latest version of iPhoto, but when I go to do that, it says I already have it. I have tried with a different hard drive as well that I used as my back up disk and it does the same thing.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Its so many years of my life, my wedding, my son's photos since birthday that I'm scared I cannot retrieve!
    Thank you!
    Leah

    Before you proceed, make a backup copy of your iPhoto library, if you do not have a current backup.
    Which version of iPhoto do you have?  You may need an upgrade to a major new release, and not just an update.
    With Yosemite you need to run iPhoto 9.6. A new computer should have iPhoto 9.6 installed. Is that what you are seeing in your Applications folder?
    If you are having iPhoto 9.6 installed, double click it in the Applications folder to launch it, while holding down the alt/options key to select your iPhoto library.
    When iPhoto launches, it should you prompt, that the iPhoto Library needs upgrading to a new format. Click upgrade, and let it run. It may need some time to finish.
    Which was your previous iPhoto version? If it was iPhoto 7 or older, you need to run the iPhoto Library upgrader first. Download, and install it from here:   iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader
    After you installed it, don't forget to run it. It will be installed in Applications > Utilities.

  • How do I retrieve my iphoto library from the Time Machine back-up drive, when the original iphoto library was on a separate external hard drive that has crashed?

    I recently backed up my iMAC and Simpletech external hard-drive to a 1 TB WD Passport  external hard drive, using Time Machine's back-up utility.  Today, I tried to access my iphoto library from the back-up drive, but received a message saying "the iPhoto library is a Time Machine back up, and so cannot be used as the main library.  Relaunch iPHoto with options key held down to choose another library."  Since my Simpletech died on me, what other iPhoto library is it expecting me to access?  I know approximately 169 GB were backed up, and my iPhoto library is roughly 54 GB.

    Thanks.  I will try going through TM.  Since my Simpletech is on the way out, I'll be plugging in a new external hard drive (other than the back-up drive) and trying to restore the library to the new drive.  Any advice or warning if this is NOT the right thing to do?
    Meanwhile, that is a great tip to do an alternate back-up using a different means.  It's been tough to figure out how to "preserve access" to digital images and files for posterity, knowing the hardware will always fail/obsolesce sooner or later, and that "clouds" are only as good as their consistent and reliable accessibility.  Upping the odds with redundancy will help dull the edge of my "access anxiety", though logically, it can never relieve it.  Will look into

    Hello 88feederups, It seems your only recourse is to press the F-7 key to continue, and see if the system will boot to the desktop.
    If you manage to get to the desktop, I would suggest trying to back up your important data, and make sure you have a version of Windows XP. You should also consider locating a new hard drive.
    The failed Smart Test can be a precusor to the hard drive failing completely, if not already.
    Here  is the link for the specifications for your system and it shows the system shipped with a 160 GB Ultra DMA hard drive.
    This is an IDE ATA type hard drive and not the newer Sata type.

  • Zzxc: Is it possible to restore my favorites from a hard drive that has been pullled out of my computer due to a virus?

    I was in a chat with a support representative a few moments ago and I am trying to restore my favorites. Still having some issues with that problem. Can someone get back to me to help me resolve this issue?

    Firefox can't handle the raw "favorites" data. You need to get that data into IE and then '''Export in HTML''' format, so you can '''Import''' that data into Firefox.
    In IE:
    File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file
    ''then in Firefox:''
    Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file

  • Downloading CS6 Master Collection from Google Drive

    I copied cs6 master collection to my Google drive because my computer needed to be wiped clean. I go back to download it back onto my computer and it won't download all of the files in order for it to be re-installed. What do I do?

    Just download the installation files and use those.

    Hi, I just installed CS6 master collection from order history and when I try to enter Serial Number it tells me that: Serial number you provided is valid, but qualifying product can not be found on this computer. Then it gives me options under drop down menu but Master Collection CS6 is the only one not appearing in a drop down menu.

    Your CS6 must have been purchased as an upgrade.  What it is asking you to select/provide is the name/serial number of the previous version you purchased that qualifies you to install and activate the CS6 upgrade version... this would be likely be one of CS3 thru CS5.5.

  • I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

    I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

    In the Mac side of things, backups usually come in two flavors: clones or incrementals.
    A bootable clone is a bit-for-bit copy of all essential files in the startup volume. If using the Lions, clones can be made using CarbonCopyCloner or just plain old Disk Utility. These backups represent the safest protection of your info, but take the longest to do. Recovery is an inverse process: you copy the clone back into the internal drive.
    Incremental backups start with a complete backup of the startup volume and only copy whatever changed from the previous run. OS X includes the fully integrated Time Machine backup utility to do this. It is extremely easy to do and takes the least amount of time. Recovery is another matter altogether since you have to start with a freshly installed instance of the OS and have to apply all intervening backups to bring the result to the latest saved version.
    As for where the backup takes place, the recommended media is an external dedicated drive or drives connected via the fastest interface available on your Mac: Thunderbolt, USB3, Firewire, or USB2. Network-based backups, wired or wireless, are attractive but may not offer the same performance and hence take longer. Also important to note that the entire drive need not be completely dedicated to a single backup. The Mac's EFI firmware infrastructure allows for an unlimited number of partitions on a hard drive and each can be used for either type of backups.
    Holler if you need specifics on how to do each. This was just an executive summary.

  • I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs?

    I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs. in order to start rebuilding my music collection?

    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but it is not something I've personally tested.
    When you get it all working, make a backup!

  • Buying a copy of CS6 Master Collection from someone

    Hello,
    I found an ad on craigslist for a person selling a copy of CS6 Master Collection. I was going to meet with them but then saw you can only download to 2 computers and cannot use simultaneously. When I expressed that concern to the seller he claimed he has the pro edition and that it is not the case. He claims he gets 3 downloads and that I would be the last download and it would register directly to me. Is that the case? I read online that you would have to do a license transfer if you buy used from someone. I am very scared to get ripped off, I am a student and do not have a bunch of extra money to spend but need this software for my schooling. What should I do?

    If it smells fishy... it's fishy.. and this smells more than fishy.  A single user license allows for only two activated installations.  The software is registered to one person, the owner.  If the plan for the seller is to retain the software and use of it while pretending to sell you a portion of that license.... walk away and don't look back.
    If you sell a license there is a formal transfer that must take place.
