Had to reformat the hard drive and now trying to reinstall...
I have my original CD for PSE 4.0 and installed it. That worked fine. I printed out the info from when I upgraded to PSE 5.0 because I upgraded online at Adobe.com. But when I went to my Order History, the download wasn't there. When I called support they said they could no longer support this "old" version of PSE and that I had to come here for help. Which is frustrating because it says right there on the upgrade info:
Sign in to Your Account at the Adobe Store at any time to re-download your purchased software.
Anyway, I've got the serial number for my upgrade to 5.0. Can anyone tell me how to re-download it? Thanks!!
It's absolutely stunning what is out there on the nooks and crannies of the Internet. So I'd recommend that you search there for the upgrade. After all, the upgrade file is useless without the serial number you have, so Adobe wouldn't object to someone posting it on a web site.
Google is the perfect place to start your search. Try to think of terms you'd find on the web site you want - but would not appear on the average web page. That way Google won’t offer to show you 100,001 hits - which can be depressing. Here I'd use "Adobe Photoshop Elements", and "upgrade", and "version 5.0".
Keep Google in mind whenever you are searching for something unusual. People are putting more and more information onto the Internet. That can help you.
In 2001, I typed the name “Monte Payne” into Google. We both were point men in the same Infantry platoon in Vietnam. He triggered a boobytrap and died while walking point.
To my surprise, Google found a plea from his family. 32 years later, they still were trying to find someone who could tell them how and where Monte died.
I wrote them a long letter explaining what happened and how he had died. I also included the address of a U.S. Geologic Service web site that shows a detailed map of the area where he died. (The U.S. Geologic Service hosts hundreds of web pages that show small-scale maps of what was South Vietnam.)
I also gave them the grid coordinates of the location where he probably died. I didn't know the precise location because I was in the hospital when it happened. But because we both had been point men, I found out everything about his death once I got back.
I’ve often thought that if there ever was a contest on the most unusual uses of Google, I’d enter that incident with Monte’s family. I’m one of fewer than 30 people on the planet who could tell his family how Monte died. Without Google, we never could have found one another.

I had to erase my hard drive and reinstall ox snow leopard. when i try to sync my Iphone or Ipad it says that my device was synced with another computer and I will loose my songs on the Iphone or ipad and it will be replaced by the library that is on my computer now. The library is empty since I had to erase the hard drive. Can anyone help?
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone/iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone/iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip. -
I just upgraded My iMac (2009) to Yosemite. It is now crawling. I planning to do a fresh install of the operating system. This requires me to format the hard drive. I have already backed up my data. With regards CS 6 suite and Lightroom is the proper process to deactive the program and then reinstall it from my Adobe account? Any other input would be appreciated.
yes, deactivate before uninstalling.
to reinstall, you only need your serial numbers and the installation files.

Any one have any suggestions?? AppleCare is closed right now
Hmmmm...
When you say OSX, which version do you want to reinstall?
Was the MacBook Air new when you bought it? Did it originally come with Lion? Mountain Lion?
When you say you erased your hard drive, did something go wrong while you were installing Lion?
Were you installing it from a file downloaded from the App Store, or from another source?
When you press and hold "Option" while you boot up, does "Recovery" come up as an option to boot your computer?
If so, you can reinstall Lion from the recovery part of the drive and (hopefully) everything should be fine.
Let me know if you still need a hand with your MacBook and we'll see if we can get you going again. -

Had to replace my hard drive and now I can't update iPhoto.
(Originally posted this question in the MacBook Pro community but it might do better here.)
When I try to through the App Store I get this message: To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.
I submitted this to the App Store help email (or whatever it's called) and was sent an answer that wasn't helpful at all. I replied to the "if this doesn't work..." but haven't heard back. Anyone else have a solution?
I'm running 10.8.2. So I seem to be up to date. And I have been able to update everything else (such as iTunes yestereday). It's only iPhoto that won't let me update and gives me the above message.Yes, it is much better to post here for this issue than the other communities.
iTS email I think you are referring to...
iTunes Store Support
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
If their answer wasn't helpful, mind posting it here so I can verify?
Generally, when you have your HD replaced, you are going to run into this problem. However, I am suspecting about all your other apps being alright. As this issue should also effect iMovie and GB as well, thought maybe you are using them.
There is a good chance you'll have to correspond with iTS on this again, and they may eventually grant credits since it's unlikely pulling adoption plists is going to work here. -
the macbook will not boot to the boot disc, or into startup disk control menu. is there anything else possible that we can do? we are slightly experiencvecd when it comes to these types of repairs. but this is baffling us.
We have tried this and it still goes to the white screen. One time when we were trying to boot from the disc (by holding "c" directly after the boot sound) we got a folder icon with a question mark in it. But it will not boot from the boot disk or go to the boot menu when you hold the option key upon boot.

I had to reformat the hard drive on my old desktop. It is runninf Windows XP. I can't get Internet Explorer to work so I can connect to the internet via wireless. Is there a way I can download firefox from my new desktop onto a flas drive and then install Firefox from the flash drive onto my old desktop? If so, please explain the procedure.
Go to a suitable download page eg: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html]
Download firefox, use the save option rather than install.
Save it directly to the flash drive, or to somewhere on your computer and copy/move it the flash drive.
However if IE is not working possibly you have some sort of setup problem so firefox may not work either. -
I had to get a new hard drive and now iPhoto is gone. Can I get it back?

Thanksreinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first
