Help with adobe activation licensing and expirations and.... everything else

I went to buy cs5. Because I was buying many for my boss who works at a government funded school, we tried using volume licensing with cdw.
Our cdw manager was a total moron and kept giving us the wrong quote. Finally we got the right one and bought it, only to find out it was a bunch of licenses and we wanted the box product for at least a few of them. We have some computers without internet....
So we were either gonna buy 1 box product or return them all.
As usual the moron gave us more retarted quotes with products we didnt even mention!!
Well we decided it was too shady and stopped using cdw. We went to the apple store to buy a few box products.
We bought 2 student and teacher editions.
then we opened one to find out you arent suppose to buy 2 education editions. Why? who knows. to make my life harder.
Well we tried installing 1 only to find that you need to give in a promo code with a picture and information.... basically adobe wants my soul in exchange for this stupid thing which is now getting on my nerves. We needed it working a week ago!
It also says that the student copies will expire... is this true? it will stop working?
Now I feel like I should just go return both student copies to the apple store and buy 2 official versions with no stupid hassles. But who knows if they will take them back now that one has been opened!
I'm pissed and hate the whole licensing thing.
I dont know what to do but I need adobe working now!
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!!!

You will need to speak with Customer Service. This is a User to User forum. No official Adobe presence here. For what its worth I used to get excellent service from PC/Mac/Gov Connection.

Help with Adobe Premiere Pro and AME CS6

Hi all,
First off, i would like to state that i'm pretty inexperienced in video editing, so please keep that in mind when answering or questioning something.I will try to explain my question to the best of my abilities, but please answer in a 'simple' manner, and don't shoot me when i miss something obvious.
I came across a 'performance?'-issue (slow exporting) for which i don't really know how to find the solution. I've been struggling with it for a while.
Your (any) help or insight is greatly appreciated!
My system:
Windows 7 Professional - 64 bit (Service Pack 1)
RAM 20 GB
Intel Core I73770 (dual quad core)
Direct x 11.0
Nvidia NVS 310
Adobe premiere pro CS6 (upgrading to adobe CC is unfortunately not an option)
Adobe media encoder CS6
They asked me to edit some video's on a regular basis, nothing complicated, just a 'training'-video. Length of video is about 2 hours edited.
File info:
Source file is 1920x1080 (1,0), 25fps, Upper, 2:11:10:24, 48000Hz, Stereo
There is one audio channel (left is standard mic, right is a shotgun mic) which is split to two audio channels, edited in aodbe audition (basic noise reduction)
I've been running into export times of over 12 hours (exported to mp4), which i'm guessing is a bit much.. . The slowness is also occuring with other export settings.
I came across a possible solution (in short: changing the Video Rendering and Playback in the project settings of APP) but that field is inactive for me...? what's up?
"Use Preview Files" works in CS5.5 but is "Useless" in CS6
I don't really know what to do from here, to figure out the solution. Any suggestions on fixing or troubleshooting the extremely long export times??
Thx in advance.

There is an issue with Adobe Audition CC and OS 10.8.4. Audition will not open?

Apparently there is a problem with Adobe Audition CC and 10.8.4. Audition worked in 10.7 with no problem but after installing 10.8.4 it no longer opens.

might want to ask, did you clone ML with 10.8.3 before upgrading to 10.8.4? sometimes there are issues, and there are with .4 so having a clone of your system prior to update is important. Same for how long to keep a clone of 10.7.5 or even 10.6.8.
if you practice keeping boot drive small it is easy to make a system restore image 50-150GB and keep it somewhere.
CCC clones not just the system but the recovery partition.
keeping all your data and media off the boot drive helps in other ways, like managing maintenance and performance.

Barbara Brundage, can you help with PS Elements 11 and Epson R2000 printer issue?

Seeking help with PS Elements 11 which does not work with Epson r2000 printer. Epson tech support could not fix, said it is PS e11 problem. Receive prompt on PS e11 screen when I try to print stating "not compatible or settings are not correct. Have set PS to manage color and printer manages color to off. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

Hi,
Sincerely appreciate your help. Running Windows 7 on a Dell XPS420. System has been very stable for years. Before purchasing the Epson r2000, I owned an r1800 which was an excellent printer but after seven years started to exhibit paper feed problems. The r1800 worked with all applications and I was well satisfied with the saturation, contrast, etc. printing mostly 8x10 and 11x17 prints.
Thank you for the information about the # of installs for PS E11, will try uninstall/reinstall this morning.
Will let you know how things go.
Richard

Issues with Adobe PSE 12 and Premier Elements 12 plus DiskWarrior 4.4

Since upgrading to the final version of OS X 10.10 Yoesemite I have issues with Adobe PSE 12 and Premier Elements 12 plus DiskWarrior 4.4. I don't recall their being any issues while I went through the Beta testing process. The Adobe products (PSE and PE) give me a configuration message "error 16" and it tells me to uninstall and reinstall. I have done this a few times/ It seems to go through the whole install process until the startup where it crashes. I downloaded PSE 11 and at least it starts up but I haven't used it to do anything. Also DiskWarrior 4.4 does not load up from the hard drive anymore (error message) and when I boot it up from disk is doesn't give me the option of correcting permission when repairing files and folders.
At lease all of otheother software including Photoshop Lightroom 5.6 seem to be working.
Very sad

Barbara,
Yes, I accessed the "updates" menu from the Help pull-down menu. I also accessed the updates using the Mac Terminal application with results shown in my original post. Regardless of whether I used the Help menu or the Mac Terminal app, the AAM tool still responded with:
Update Failed
   Updates could not be applied
   The error log file may help you in identifying the problem. The, try updating again. If the problems persist, contact customer support for further assistance.
The error log file read as follows:
   Photoshop Camera Raw 8.5
   There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1I210
   Looking at the the output of the Mac Terminal app, it shows:
   ... hdiutil: attach failed - no mountable file systems
   Is this relevant?
Regarding your follow-up message pointing to:
Update 12.1 installation errors | Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements,
the files referenced in this link are present, are correctly named, and they are in the correct locations, so it would appear that these issues are not related to the ACR 8.5 update problem
Thanks

Help with CF9 Standard Install and Mac OS Server (Snow Leopard Server)

Hello,
I recently purchased a mac mini server (with snow leopard server) and will be using it to host my CF9 applications. This install is WAY different than the install needed on a windows machine. I tried to install it once and somehow hosed up Apache and now I can't even get it to start up (apache). So I am having the colo company to do a full restore of the server and I took notes on the Mac Server install and below is the questions I have.
1.) Since Snow Leopard Server comes with Apache webserver, it is what CF wants to use. This is fine, I just need to know where these things are...
It is asking for the Configuration Directory: I'm guessing it is /private/etc/apache2 ? Right or Wrong???
2.) It is asking for Directory and file name of server binary: It currently defaults to /usr/sbin/httpd is this right or should I point it to another directory?
3.) It is asking for Directory and file name of server script: It currently defaults to /usr/sbin/apachectl is this right or should I point it to another directory?
It also wants the location where I can place the CFIDE. Can I place this anywhere I wish or is there a preferred location to point this to?
and finally, I have CF9 Standard, so on the mac server should I install it as a server configuration (self contained instance) or Enterprise Multiserver config. I was reading online that its better to install as an Enterprise Multiserver setup, but I don't know if this will work for me since I'm useing the standard edition.
Please Help ANYONE, if you have mac os experience and installing CF9 onto a mac server
Thanks

I have been getting this exact same problem. CF installer is somehow writing some invalid information into the httpd.conf file. I was able to replace the httpd.conf file with the default one, and was able to go through the webconnector process again and (sometimes randomly) it works. I also spent about 4 hours on the line with adobe CF support and made no progress beyond what I'll post here .
To answer your questions about file locations:
/private/etc/apache2/ for the httpd.conf files
/usr/sbin/ for both the apachectl and the httpd binaries
Although I'm able to get past where you are, and it seems to work correctly, Immediately upon adding a new site via server admin it all breaks. Coldfusion then will only work if I manually go to a cfm document. For example: http://example.com/ will give me the raw text from the (default index) index.cfm file. But typing http://example.com/index.cfm works.
I am lost here as well. After 4 hours on the phone with adobe support I would have hoped it would be an easy fix. I've completely nuked and reinstalled the server from scratch with the exact same results both times.
Does anyone have the slightest clue about what may be going on here?

I bought the Adobe Exportpdf license and cannot find the link how to use it

I bought the Adobe Exportpdf license and cannot find the link how to use it

Hi Pedro,
To use the ExportPDF service, simply visit http://exportpdf.acrobat.com and click 'Sign in' at the top right corner. Enter your Adobe ID (email address) credentials to log into the service. As ExportPDF is web-based, you simply utilize the tool through your web browser. After you're logged in, you should see the ExportPDF interface, with a button saying 'Select PDF file..' to get the process started.
You may also access ExportPDF via Adobe Reader by choosing File > Save as Word or Excel Online.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

Communication problem with Adobe 9.0 and HP Printer when I scan

I'm having a problem getting a .pdf file to come up when I scan from a HP 5610 All-in-one printer. Have uninstalled and reinstalled HP software three times but when I scan and want a pdf file it won't communicate with Adobe 9.0 reader for some reason. Is there a setting in Adobe reader that's a problem?
Thanks.

Thanks...found out that an HP5610xi All-in-One will not completely communicate with Adobe 9.0 Had to go to Adobe 6.0

Need help with my iPhone 5 and my Macbook Pro.

Need help with my iPhone 5 and my Macbook Pro. I was purchased some music on itunes at my mac. Some reason I deleted those music from both on Mac and iPhone 5. Today, I went to my iPhone iTunes store inside of iCloud to redownload my puchased. But those song won't able to sync back to my iTunes library on my Mac. Can anyone help me with that ??....
iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.1

You've posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be related to. You'll get better support responses by posting to either the iTunes for Mac or iTunes for Windows forum. Which ever is more appropriate for your situation.

Need help with a activation code for Adobe Acrobat X Standard for my PC,, Don't have older version serial numbers, threw programs away, only have Adobe Acrobat X Standard, need a code to unlock program?

Need help with a activation code for Adobe Acrobat X Standard for my PC, Don't have older Version of Adobe Acrobat 9, 8 or 7.

You don't need to install the older version, you only need the serial number from your original purchase. If you don't have them to hand, did you register? If so, they should be in your Adobe account. If not you really need to contact Adobe, though it isn't clear they will be able to do anything without some proof of purchase etc.

Any problems with Adobe CS5.5 and the Maverick system?

Has anyone had any problems with Adobe CS5.5 and the new Maverick OS? I don't want to install if there are issues. Thanks!

First thing I would suggest is to upgrade your server OS to a newer version if possible. Secondly try removing the apps out of the allowable apps list and instead change it so that you allow the apps that are within the specific application folder, ex: Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5
I had similar problems with CS5 apps and by adding the apps by allowable folder instead it corrected my problem. Granted, if you have savvy users, there is the potential to open a can of worms here but it was the only way I could get it to work for "standard" non-admin user types.

Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS

Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS. Animation I was working on that had been performing in browser fine suddenly stopped working, and was not related to any action I had done at that point. Also was working in it today and program stopped responding to key board short cut commands.

I am having a whole slew of odd interface problems with a fresh 2014.1.1 on a fresh macbook pro with latest Yosemite. Program locks up, cursor selections don't show, things disappear. I have a mac mini also and the program runs fine on it. Is there possibly something related to the solid state hard drive in new macs?

Are there any known issues with Adobe Photoshop CS5 and OS X Yosemite 10.10? I heard I would need an older Java version to start it.

You'll need to reinstall Photoshop CS5 after installing the MacOS 10.10 update -- for some reason the OS updater stomps on some of the Photoshop files.

Help with menus, sub menus and such.....

Hello
I have spent ages getting to this point and after checking everything over and over and over yet again I cannot figure out what is happening with the menus at the top of my page.
The first menu "Garrett Smith" operates fine. The sub menus appear directly under it as they should when it is moused over.
It is the second menu "Work" in which I am having a problem. When you mouseover "Work", "View by Discipline" should open directly underneath. Once "View by Discipline" is clicked the four submenus should then open, again directly underneath "Work" and "View by Discipline". Then once "Print", "Printmaking", "Illustration" or "Photography" is moused over the test menus should in turn pop up to the side of them lining up with the top of each, depending on which one is moused over.
I have checked my CSS, javascript and everything else over and over. I imagine it is something simple that I am simply overlooking as I have been searching though all of this for the better part of the day so it is all blending together.
Here is the link to the site if you need to see my attempts thus far:
http://garrettsmithprintdesign.com/
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Garrett,
   I'm not as familiar with a jquery script, but in many of the drop-downs I've created, the submenu is built as a nested sub-set of it's parent... for instance instead of this:
<li class="printbutton"><a href="#">Print</a></li>
<li class="printmakingbutton"><a href="#">Printmaking</a></li>
<li class="illustrationbutton"><a href="#">Illustration</a></li>
<li class="photographybutton"><a href="#">Photography</a></li>
                </ul>
          </li>
          </ul>
<div id="print">
<ul id="printmenu">
<li><a href="#">test</a></li>
<li><a href="#">test</a></li>
<li><a href="#">test</a></li>
<li><a href="#">test</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
You may have something that looks more like this:
<li class="printbutton"><a href="#">Print</a>
<ul>
   <li><a href="#">test</a></li>
   <li><a href="#">test</a></li>
   <li><a href="#">test</a></li>
   <li><a href="#">test</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="printmakingbutton"><a href="#">Printmaking</a></li>
<li class="illustrationbutton"><a href="#">Illustration</a></li>
<li class="photographybutton"><a href="#">Photography</a></li>
</ul>           </li>           </ul>
This is just an example - NOT the solution, but I think this will put you more on track if you experiment a bit along these lines. Note that closing "<li> tag for the "print" link is AFTER the nested "<ul> tags of it's submenu.
Also, if this is still problematic, note that there are tons of free samples on the web (as well as many you can purchase). Also, I've found Dreamweaver's "Spry menu system" isn't a bad place to start - it does have a few bugs, but it begins with a very basic double-drop down menu that you can fairly easily customize by editing the css...
Hope that helps,
Jesse
