  • Duh! Forgot to deactivate before vaping :(

    I've just vaped my old Tiger install in favour of a Leopard upgrade (PPC), but I forgot to deactivate CS and After Effects CS2 first. I guess my only recourse is to 'customer services'. Correct?

    Sorry, I meant CS2.
    I didn't know that CS2 wasn't supported under Leopard, but as a non-US resident I'm not getting screwed by Adobe for CS3, so I'll live with it.
    I mainly only use Illustrator anyway. Are there big issues for AI CS2 under Leopard? Should I go back to Tiger?

  • Forgot to deactivate before uninstalling AA3. Can I reactivate it?

    Hi
    The title pretty much sums it all. I've had had to uninstall the software temporarily on my computer, but forgot to proceed to deactivation before proceeding.
    Now I've reinstalled it, but I'm stuck at an activation screen which prompts me to either buy a new licence or quit. I've checked my account, and my licence is still active and valid.
    Is there any way I can get AA3 back on its feet?

    Your problem goes deeper than forgetting to deactivate--Adobe have actually closed the activation servers for Audition 3 and a number of other bits of earlier software.  However, in a strange way this will work to your advantage now!
    Visit this page http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l for instructions on how to download and install a generic version of AA3.0 with a standard serial number.  This should get you going.
    I gather a few people with Audition 3 pre installed have encountered some problems installing the new download (but not many).  If you're unlucky enough to be in this group, the FAQ tells you how to fix the issues:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/5117676#5117676

  • Forgot to deactivate before reformatting hard drive on Mac - help!

    I have a copy of CS3 Design Premium that I need to reinstall on my office machine. The machine's system became corrupted and I performed a complete reinstall. I just want to put my CS3 back on, but it won't let me because it says I need to deactivate the previous copy. But I can't do this, as it doesn't exist. What's the solution?

    Those errors sound like your drive is having serious trouble. It is probably time to look for a replacement for it. I certainly hope everything on that disk is backed up.

  • I forgot to deactivate CS6 before reinstalling the OS

    I reinstalled OS X Lion, but forgot to deactivate CS6 first. Is this going to be a problem? I'm counting on two installs...

    You get 2 activations which allow you to install the software on 2 machine, hence if you have exceeded the activation count then contact Adobe support to get the activation resetted otherwise there shouldn't be any problem.

  • Forgot to deactivate Adobe Acrobat XI Standard

    Tech forgot to deactivate Adobe Acrobat XI Standard before reimaging PC.  Now, how do we get the S/N to be available for downloading back to this PC?

    I assume Acrobat was not part of the image from what you say. As for the SN and install files, use the ones you should have backed up last time you did it. If you downloaded from Adobe, you should be able to log in and get them again from the Adobe site. This time be sure to back them up. If you lost one activation, you will have to call Adobe Support about that issue, explaining what happened.

  • I reformatted my hard drive, but forgot to deactivate CS6 first

    I reformatted my hard drive, but forgot to deactivate CS6 first. I had CS6 installed on two computers. I deactivated CS6 on one computer, then installed CS6 on another computer. I then had issues with the new computer and am reformatting the disk. Problem is, I forgot to deactivate CS6d from the new computer. Will this mess me up?

    Computer reconfiguration or replacement
    You can receive an activation error if your computer has changed recently. You can't solve this problem on your own, if you've done one of the following:
    Changed your computer's configuration, for example, due to a crash:
    Upgraded your computer hardware
    Replaced a hard drive
    Upgraded the Operating System
    Gotten a new computer and old computer is unavailable
    Contact Adobe Support specialists via chat or over the phone on 1-866-772-3623.
    Keep your serial number handy. Look for your serial number on the CD or DVD case, or in the email confirming your purchase. For assistance locating your serial number, see Find a serial number.

  • Before I upgraded to 8.0 I could double click and see all open Apps and then close them. Now when I double click I am not sure what I am seeing or what to do?

    Before I upgraded to 8.0 I could double click and see all open Apps and then close them. Now when I double click I am not sure what I am seeing or what to do?

    The format keeps changing but the basics remain...in the center of the screen are large images of the recent apps which you can close by swiping up and away.

    I just got the iBooks update and that fixed the problem, except the book covers look like they were done in a government printing office.

  • I'm using iphone 4s and after upgrading to ios 6, my facebook app seems to have lsot the 'share' button altogether, which means i cant share anything on my news feed. I cant change my profile or cover pic on fb which i could before the upgrade. Help Pls

    I'm using an iphone 4S with IOS 6. Before the upgrade I was able to share thigns from my news feed on facebook and change pictures (profile, cover) from my phone. After upgrading I cannot share or change pictures or articles. I've tried resetting my phone, deleting and re-installing fb app, but no success. Would appreciate any help, suggestions...Cheers

    I've never been able to share FaceBook posts nor seen the option using the iOS FaceBook app regardless the FaceBook app and iOS version. I can Like and I can Comment, and if I select a link or video to view under iOS 6, I can use the Share option for the link or video, but not for a post.

  • Before we upgraded to IOS 6, we used to be able to share our calendar (my husband and I have the same carrier/acct.); but now we are not able.   Any suggestions on how to share the calendar?

    Before we upgrade to IOS 6, we used to be able to share our calanders.  We are no longer able, any ideas how to synch/share the calendar again?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iTunes and iCloud are different accounts. You can both use the same ID for the store login and share your music etc., and use different ID's to log in to iCloud, thereby keeping your calendars etc separate.

  • I want to hide an application so that it doesn't show up on the iPhone (4S w/ iOS 6.1) or on the Apps screen when I sync my iPhone to the computer.  I used to be able to do this before the upgrade.  Is there a way?

    Before I upgraded to iOS 6, there was a way to hide an application on my phone.  When you did this is only showed up in Featured Apps in the App Store and specifically, would only appear in "Hidden Apps".  Also, the app wouldn't show up at all on my device when I sync to the computer.  I can't figure out how to hide an app anymore.  Can anyone help?  Oh and I'm talking about purchased apps...not the ones that come standard with the iPhone.

    Seems that you can no longer hide them on your phone.  Try doing so in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.

    Yes. Reinstall iTunes. If that is the point at which you stopped trying the support suggestions then it makes sense to me, that you move on to the next suggestion and if reinstalling iTunes is the next suggestion, so be it.
    However ....  I too have issues that arise out of the blue with my iPad being recognized in iTunes and what I always do and it eventually works is to quit iTunes, restart my MacBook, and reboot my iPad.
    Rebooting the iPad is the last thing that I do and only if I have no success with quitting iTunes and restarting the Mac. It may take a few tries to work, but if you are that dead set against reinstalling iTunes, then give it a try.
