Got notice that I have only 5 days to activate Photoshop 5. Facts: new macbookPro 10.9.4 about 2 months ago (my old mac's logic board failed).
URGENT HELP NEEDED: got notice that I have only 5 days to activate Photoshop 5. How can I continue using? I have an exhibit to print, deadline is one week from today (27 July 14).
FACTS: my old MBP had a failed logic board about 6 weeks ago. Bought a new one with 10.9.4
WHAT is Activation? etc. What do I need to do that is simple and effective to keep my PS 5 rolling?
HOW/WHERE do I find answers in this forum? Will they be emailed to me?
heartfelt thanks for your excellent answers.
Have you gone to the Photoshop Help menu and selected Help > Activate... You need an internet connection to do this. All you have to do is follow the steps.
What is activation? Photoshop used to be unlocked with a serial number only. However software pirates simply passed the numbers around to unlock multiple copies without paying for the license.
As of Photoshop CS3, activation requires a connection to a remote server that validates the machine it was installed on on order to launch Photoshop. You are allowed to activate on two computers. Any change in hardware means you have re-activate.
We are basically volunteers not Adobe employees. If you cannot activate your copy as instructed, call customer service and they can help you by resetting the activations.
Unless you signed up for email notifications, it's best to recheck the forums to see if anyone answered your question.

I updated from windows xp to windows 7 and can not get into my itunes account. I get the notice that I am only allowed 5 devices and this isn't a new device just an updated one. How do I get to my itunes?
Take a look at Apple's document for authorizations -> iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization.
You can deauthorize all computers from iTunes. All you have to do is click iTunes Store, click your account name in the upper right corner of iTunes, then deauthorize all. -
Both Photoshop and Lightroom exhibit the same error. Sometimes this happens 3 times in one day or perhaps every third day. When I open either package I get a message saying that I have 00 days left in the trial and to continue I need to purchase a licence or start a trail. If I click on purchase a Licence the once I log in with Adobe ID I can get started. I have contacted Adobe chat support 6 times. They suggest deleting an opm.db file and assure me that this will sort the problem and within 24 hours back to square one
Here it happens only with photoshop cc 2014. i just deleped opm.db i will check again tomorrow.

Why is it that when I text pictures, the recipient does not receive them. I've noticed that I have a camera roll which is where I choose pics from, but nothing in Photo Stream. Can someone please let me know what the issue might be? Thank you!
Some phones can only send and recieve SMS messages. If the recipients phone doesn't support MMS they won't be able to recieve a text with a photo.
To get your photos in Photo Stream, you'll need to setup iCloud. Check out this Apple article for more info -> iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ -
I recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard on my MacBook and I noticed that I have more capacity on the Macintosh HD than before the upgrade. I checked my files and applications and they are still on my computer and nothing appears to be missing. Before the upgrade I had around 111 GB capacity with around 10.50 GB available on the Mac HD but now after the upgrade I have 119 GB capacity and 20.92 GB available. Can capacity on the HD change after an OS upgrade?
No, but the upgrade removed unneeded PowerPC code and changed the way free space is determined.

I have an iMac. I noticed that I have both versions 8 and 9 of Adobe Reader. Can I remove version 8 ?
Yes.
If you double click on a PDF and your system uses 8 to open it, you may have to repair (Help>Repair... in Reader) the 9 installation or you could change your file associations to use 9 to open PDF files.
If 9 opens them already, just remove 8 and you're good to go. -
I used to have a itunes account and made a new one which is this one but i noticed that i have 1.00 on my account now and the one from before. is their a way i can merge both my balances to buy the new angry birds game!??
Hi Jacob...
A $1.00 credit or an authorization hold ...
The $1.00 charge is just an "authorization hold" > iTunes Store & Mac App Store: About credit-card authorization holds that will be credited back to your account usually within 24 to 48 hours.
is their a way i can merge both my balances to buy the new angry birds game!??
If it's a $1 credit from a redeemed iTunes gift card, sorry, but Apple's policy states that Apple ID accounts cannot be merged > Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID -

Help! My CS3 does not open. It tells me that I have 12 days left in my trial period. What do I do?
Must I first deactivate the Vista machine? I've already stored it.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
