  • Photoshop Elements 10 on Windows PC. Re-installing Elements and it says my serial number is invalid. I have used this for the last 2 yrs. with no issues. What do I do?

  • Says my serial number is invalid, but I have a valid license?

    I have my serial on my account, and it still won't let me active my products in the Master Collection. I have a master collection key.

    What type of license is the key for: individual, student/teacher, government, team, enterprise, promotional, bundled, what?
    Where did you get the software installer from, a link in your purchases area or a download elsewhere on Adobe's site or from ProDesignTools?  
    Is there anything that was done out of the ordinary, originally, to get your software to work?
    In other words might the key be for a different type of license than the installer you're trying to use.

  • I keep getting an error message when trying to connect to sync on my Android saying the user name and password are invalid.

    I am using Firefox 4.0 Beta 7 on both my Android as well as my laptop. I am trying to set up the sync feature and keep getting the error message on my Android saying that the username or password are invalid. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I have tried changing my password. I continue to get this error message.

    Can you try again with Firefox 4.0b8 (desktop) and 4.0b3 (Android)? We have changed the way that Sync setup works, and it no longer requires entering the password and sync key by hand.
    For details, see: http://blog.mozilla.com/services/2010/12/22/easy-setup-for-firefox-sync/

  • The" location svc. " on my iPhone 4S is disabled w/out me knowing ,now I have no GPS,but everything else works fine. it all happened after the latest update from Apple . The phone asks me to put a 4digit code (I don't have) to unlock the restriction on it

    Please help !
       It's been almost a month that the LOCATION SERVICE on my iphne 4S has been turned off and there's a restriction on it . Which requires a 4 digit code that I don't have and no one seeme to be able to help me on this .
    It all happened after I got the latest Apple iphone updates installed .  Just a note here, except for some photos and camera, especially the the flash for taking pictures having the mind of it's own ( wont flash most of the time even when you turn on the flash ) , ALL OTHER FUNCTIONC SEEM TO BE WORKING OK .
    I've tried backing up the phone on my computer and restoring it SEVERAL TIMES w/no success . The Apple store tried TWICE and cleared everything in my phone and we started it w/the factory settings,BUT BECAUSE I NEED TO HAVE ALL MY CONTACTS AND OTHER PERSONAL INFO'S, I HAVE TO RESTORE IT TO MY OWN  SETINGS .
    The problem is that when I restore the phone, it restores all my previous setting which PUTS EVERYTHING BACK IN TO MY PHONE THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE THE BACK UP AND KEEPS ASKING FOR THE 4 DIGIT PASS CODE AGAIN . I have no control of pick and choose what should be backed up .
    I HAVE TRIED EVERY POSSIBLE CODES THAT I COULD THINK OF AND IT KEEPS LOKING ME OUT ONE HOUR AT A TIME .
    Any one  out there can help me w/this I would be greatful to you .

  • I have a nano 4th generation 8gb i have tried resetting it, i get the apple logo come up but nothing else happens.  It will work in my docking station  but as soon as i take it out it will not respond.  any ideas, do i need a new battery?

    It definitely sounds like your Nano needs a new battery at this point.  You can have Apple replace it for a flat fee, send it into a third party service center to be replaced for much less, or you can purchase a new battery online and swap it out yourself if you feel up to it.

  • My 2009 iMac gets stuck on the grey Apple logo when booting up.  It boots correctly when in safe mode. I have tried erasing the HD and re-installing from a USB installer. It says the install is complete, but after restarting it gets stuck on the Apple log

    My late 2009 27" iMac gets stuck on the grey Apple logo when booting up.  It boots correctly when in safe mode. I have tried erasing the HD and re-installing from a USB installer. It says the install is complete, but after restarting it gets stuck on the Apple logo again.  This could possibly be an HD failure, but then why does Safe Mode still work and the USB install not work?  Any ideas?

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • My iphone 3g stays on the apple logo for about 4 minutes then flashes white and goes back to the apple screen, it repeats untill battery is flat,  every now and then im lucky enough to get it to turn on but not very often and then it freezes and repeats??

    hello my name is kirstie, i updated to firmware 4.2.1 .....my iphone 3g stays on the apple logo for about 4 minutes then flashes white and goes back to the apple screen, it repeats untill battery is flat,  every now and then im lucky enough to get it to turn on but not very often and then it freezes and repeats the same problem?? (if i turn the phone off my pressing the two buttons it wont keep rebooting, its only when i leave it after turning it on)
    I have reset the phone, full firmware restore, even downgraded back from firmware 4.2.1 to .3.1.3 official by using dfu mode and still doesnt fix.
    (i correctly got out of dfu mode after the downgrade)
    i can enter dfu mode and recovery, and update through itunes with no problem, but it doesnt fix the problem,
    i have searched and found no answer to this problem, every option availible to try that i know of i have tried and failed. i dont care about preserving my content i just want a fix. i have a good understanding how to operate software on a computer and shouldnt be too confused by any advice given, so plz even if the answer is very complex i wish to try anything, please help me to get my iphone working.

    Anyone have any suggestions? or is everyone else just as clueless as me !

  • How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? Because of the update on apple ID, when I try to delete icloud account I have to put in the password, and it says username or password is invalid (because no longer apple ID).

    How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? When I try to delete icloud account (in settings-icloud-delete account) I have to put in the password for the apple ID of my old email address, which is no longer my apple ID, and it says username or password is invalid (I'm guessing because that is no longer my apple ID).

    You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
    If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.

    Dear support @Apple,
    I have tried to log in App Store with my Apple ID 3 times but never possible.
    I have tried to change password 2 times.
    It was successful.But soon after change of my password, I could not log in App store.
    It says always incorrect user name or password. But I input correct ! Because just I successfully changed my password through secret question.
    Third time when I tried to change password, the page did not open!
    So I checked my connection by netstat , and I trace the IP address ; 17.154.66.17 this is apple IP, but when I trace , it did not show the route. I will copy

    To post this question, I tried thierd time to change password, and before I tried to log in to App store, I logged in this community, and I could !
    Then I could finally log in App store also.
    But still I feel something is wrong with my connection.
    Why the trace route does not show to the apple site ?

  • Do not seem to be able to backup iPad via iTunes on to my PC. Message after connecting is "iTunes was unable to load class information from Sync Services, Reconnect or try later"  Have tried that but get the same result. Can anyone assist?

    Do not seem to be able to backup iPad via iTunes on to my PC.
    Message after connecting is "iTunes was unable to load class information from Sync Services, Reconnect or try later" 
    Have tried that but get the same result.
    Remedies I've tried are:
    wait and try again
    reboot
    reload iTunes
    NB hp is a relatively new machine and has previously backed up quite happily.
    Can anyone assist?

    RHoodnkt-
    Try rebooting the iPad.  Hold down both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  It takes a minute or two to restart.
    Also be sure your iPad battery is not completely discharged.

  • I am using iPhone 5 and tried to Erase All Contents and Settings but it is just showing an apple sign on the screen and nothing is happening now for about 3 days now. All it does is eat up my battery and still show apple sign after charging! Help!!!!

    Hi DaVince Vince,
    I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear what issues you were having that led up to the attempted Erase All, and/or exactly what behavior you are seeing now (restarting, not responding at all, etc). If you are seeing an Apple Logo screen and your iPhone does not appear to be starting correctly, you may find the following articles helpful:
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Regards,
    - Brenden

  • TS1559 I have 4s. After I updated ios7.0.3 my wifi is geyed out. I expected after ios7.0.4 update wifi will work again, but does not. It annoying, because I have to use my data... Does anyone know when it will be fixed or does anyone have the same problem

    I have 4s. After I updated ios7.0.3 my wifi is geyed out. I expected after ios7.0.4 update wifi will work again, but does not. It annoying, because I have to use my data... Does anyone know when it will be fixed or does anyone have the same problem?

    I have the same problem.  After the upgrade, my wifi is greyed out, and the battery won't hold a charge long. I reset all the settings, tried all the things suggested by Apple, but it didn't work.  I took the phone to Verizon, but they said they can't fix it, go to Apple
    I made an appointment at the Genius bar, where the staff was incredibly rude and dismissive. A representative told me that the wi-fi is broken and I would need to buy a new phone for $200, because mine is out of warranty. I'm due for an upgrade in a few months, so I'm not going to pay $200 for another 4S now.  I'm also not going to buy any more Apple products.  Their upgrade caused this problem, and they are not standing behind their producet.

    iOS 4.3.5 is not the same as iOS 5. iOS 5 with the new features you list has not been released.
