How deactivate Web premium CS4 when I can't get into my old computer (crashed)?

Hi,
At Adobe's website it says:
"What happens if my computer is stolen or damaged and cannot be repaired?
If your computer is stolen, damaged beyond repair or the hard drive is completely re-imaged, the activation will be lost. In either case you can install and start using the Adobe product on your new computer, which will automatically detect the problem if you already had two computers activated. The activation process will guide you through the new activation, even if the prior computer is no longer available."
My computer has crashed but Adobe has not detected this, so I can't install my program on my new computer. What do I do?
Thank you for answering! :-)

There was no problem installing it on my new computor, but it says that i have to deactivate my earlier installation (within 30 days) since i have already installed it on two compters (i need to have the program on both my lap top and my stationary computer)

  • HT202213 I'm trying to set up "Home sharing" but i can not get into my old computer because of a virus. The old has Vista and an older version of iTunes. The new has Windows 7. Also this is my sons computer however I have made a new user account for me. H

    I Have 2 issues;
    1.  I can't transfer my iTunes library from my old computer which I can't get into due to a virus. I'm trying to transfer my iTunes folder to my sons computer in which I now have a user account. Old is Vista and new is Windows 7. Therefore home sharing is impossible, right?  Wrong?
    2.  I found my purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4S. I can't seem to download them. There is no button to tap "download".  Also, I'm unable to sync to iTunes because my phones default is to sync to my old computer which will not open!

    Contact Apple customer support, they can reset your authorizations.

  • How to recover Itunes purchases when you can't de-authorize your old computer?

    Ok, My HP laptop just recently died on me. Luckily I managed to store  alot of my files/music, etc... before  it finally went.(it was 4 years old and the hard drive was just done) I just  bought a Macbook pro yesterday and while I was setting it up  started sorting out my music first, upon this  I tried  to reinstall my  itunes purchases but it  says that I have to deauthorize them on my old computer... That's impossible for me. How do I go about getting them back?

    Perhaps you would give the exact message as I have never heard of that one before.

  • I made a new apple ID because I can't get into my old account but my new account won't open for the app store what should I do?

    I made a new appli ID because i couldnt get into my old one but now my new one won't open in the app store, does anyone know what to do?

    well, you can reset your password for your old Apple id , you need to to visit
    https://iforgot.apple.com
    you need to enter your apple id and you will see two options verify your date of birth OR Email Authentcation (That mean you have to option to option to reset your apple id and password either you can verify your date of birth and security questions, If you forgot your security question you can simply select Email option, you will recive one email from apple just click on the link and enter your new Password)

  • Just updated iPhone iOS and it is asking for the wrong AppleID. How do I change it if I can't get into the iPhone?

    I just updated the iPhone iOS. I get the Hello Screen. It asks me to choose a WiFi. Then it takes me to a login but it has the WRONG AppleID listed. I changed the AppleID months ago. I do not have the password for the old ID, and I have no access to that email account to reset it. What the heck do I do? I can't get past this step.

    UPDATE: Problem solved! Just got off the phone with Apple support. It only took all of about 10 minutes tops to fix, which was great. I think it was relatively painless because I never changed my password. Even when I changed email addresses/Apple IDs, my password never changed. So if there was an old password that you no longer remembered associated with the old Apple ID, I imagine that could be trickier.
    These were the steps:
    Settings --> Messages --> Send & Recieve --> tap old Apple ID --> Sign Out
    Settings --> Facetime --> Send & Recieve --> tap old Apple ID --> Sign Out
    Settings --> Messages --> Send & Recieve --> log-in with current Apple ID
    Settings --> Facetime --> Send & Recieve --> log-in with current Apple ID
    Settings --> iTunes & App Store --> he had me verify that it was showing my current Apple ID, which it was, so we didn't need to mess with anything there
    Settings --> iCloud --> it was still showing the old Apple ID and wouldn't let me change it (it was grayed out), so he had me scroll down and Delete Account. This is where I think I needed to enter my password, but fortunately it was the same as always, so no problem there.
    -- Select "Keep data on my iPhone" or something like that
    Then:
    Settings --> iCloud --> log-in with your current Apple ID/iCloud account.
    -- Select "Merge" so it syncs everything up.
    All done!
    Good luck to anyone else who has this very annoying little issue! Hope it's as relatively painless to fix as it was for me.

  • My old itunes account is connected to a defunct email account so I can't merge itunes libraries because I can't get into the old account,it used to be my mom's

    What can I do,I don't want to lose my libraries,both of them. The old ipod I had is dead,I have a new classic And want both libraries but I cannot access my old email,because it was my mom's account and I can't remember her old password and neither can she this account was made a long,long time ago,tried to get into the account to update it but forgot that password and it's all locked up now.So is there another way to verify my old email address? besides sending it an email I can't access? This is frustrating as anything.

    Forgot iPhone passcode can be done:
    1.Press down the Home and Power buttons on your iPhone until it shuts off.
    2.Connect it to your computer with the USB cable.
    3.Press and hold down the Home button.
    4.Hold it down until iTunes says your device is entering recovery mode.
    Then you can restore using iTunes.

  • How to delete mail account if I can't get into Mail?

    I hope someone can help me here...
    On my new Mac Mini, I had Mail up and running, but now, when I start Mail, I get the spinning beachball. I'm pretty sure it's the settings for one of my email accounts (Demon) - my .mac account seems ok.
    So I'd like to get to the preference settings for my Demon account, which might be causing the problems, but once I go into mail - I just get the beachball! So a catch-22 problem.
    Is there a way of deleting the Demon account from outside of Mail? Should I reinstall Mac OS if that would help?
    Thanks
    Alasdair

    ...because it downloaded mail on loading Mail, but not from the Demon account.
    HOWEVER, I have now found the Sys Pref Mail panel and deleted both .Mac and Demon accounts there (D'oh! Should have remembered it was there). When I set up the .Mac/Cloud email account again - same thing happens. Mail freezes with the spinning beachball.
    Mail works fine on my wife's account in the Mac (using Mail and .Mac account).
    I'm now reinstalling Mac OS. and if that fails will try using Opera or Postbox instead.

  • Help! I accidentally added a new library and can't get into my old one!

    So we recieved this Passport (a hard drive, like a USB Mass Storage) with a TON of music on it. So I was going through the music, manually clicking-and-dragging each music file I wanted into a folder on the desktop. The folder was underneath iTunes.
    As I was dragging a Justin Timberlake song, I accidentally dragged it into the iTunes icon. A window popped up and said something along the lines of: "This something cannot support something and iTunes will need to create a new library. Yes. No." So I pressed yes and continued dragging music files into the folder on my desktop.
    Later, as I was transfering the music in the folder to iTunes, I finished and pressed sync. Yet, when I looked on my iPod after the sync, none of the music showed up. So I checked my library and it was a completely new library, with none of my old songs on it--- just the new ones!
    So as I frantically fumbled around iTunes for a few hectic hours, all I accomplished was getting all of my old music into the new library, and finding my old library.
    During that time, I had pressed iTunes help at one point and it had told me that if there are two libraries in iTunes, you can only view the other libraries songs and videos. So when I go to my old library, the songs (titles, album names, and artists) are faded out (grey-colored instead of black)!
    So now I have all my new songs and old songs in the second library and also all the new songs and old songs in a playlist. The only way I can even VIEW my OLD library is by connecting my iPod and viewing the old library while it's faded.
    How do I combine them? How do I get rid of the old library and just use the new one? HELP!!!

    Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ (or C:\Username\Music\iTunes\ in Vista). Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

  • PS CS4 64-bit (in Web Premium CS4) on Win 7 PC.  I did a duplicate file check on my hdd and deleted dup files. Now I get "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall.."

    PS CS4 64-bit (in Web Premium CS4) on Win 7 PC.  I did a duplicate file check on my hdd and deleted dup files. Now when I try to run PS 64-bit I get "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application." When I do this, it seems to install correctly until the very end, then it says "Installation Complete With Errors", and when I try to run I get the same 'component missing message'. What can I do? PS 32 bit runs fine. Some of the other applications ib Web Premium say the shortcut has been changed or removed. I appreciate your help...Thank you

    Best advice I can think of is to uninstall and run the Clean Script from here.

  • Web Premium CS4 and Offline Files Issue

    My system: Multiple notebooks, laptops running Windows 7 Ultimate, all on a Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 network.
    I have My Documents, My Pictures, and My videos folders rehomed to the server via group policy, and when I unplug from the network these folders are available to the disconnected laptop/pc via offline files (and the offline file cache).
    My issue: When I install Web Premium CS4 on any machine, if my laptop/pc is disconnected from the network, the offline folders disappear, although the offline file management snap-in tab shows the cache is stored, and when I plug back in to the network, the folders will soon appear. When the folders are visible, the offline status shows "Always available offline".
    When I uninstall CS4, the trouble does not get fixed, but a barebones install from a disk image prior to CS4 installation fixes the problem, making me think adobe somehow changes network/registry settings to accomodate their own cache, or maybe something to do with the Adobe Bridge (just guessing). This happens on both 64 bit and 32 bit versions of Win 7.
    I have duplicated this issue on 3 different laptops, all with the same result. I opened a case with Adobe, but my case was immediately closed saying it was a Microsoft/network issue. In fact, I would guess the person who worked the case dismissed this out of hand, the case got closed so quickly.
    Is there someone out there that has run into this issue?
    Thank you,
    Bob

    Was this issue ever resolved? We are in the process of deploying design premium to around 1000 faculty members, and are experiencing the same issue. I wont know till the end of the day whether i can say 100% that its a CS 4 issue but im running a test on 3 laptops with slightly different configs.
    All laptops are win7 enterprise, with folder redirection enabled, same symptoms are occuring.
    As a test, i have been testing the offline files at different stages in the laptop bundle deployment to see where it starts to fail. I sync mydocs, undock laptop and then login to check offline files. I then wipe the CSC clean and move on to next step in deployment, and repeat check.
    We are at the last step in deployment, adobe design premium CS4, and there have been no failures with offline files so far. After it finishes deploying ill report on my findings.
    We have a ticket open with microsoft and  our sysadmin has been working with them for a few days to resolve the issue, and so far they have been baffled, escalating the ticket to a debug team. We have not yet mentioned that we suspect CS4 to be the issue, as they would probabily pass the buck and blame adobe, (similar to the OP saying adobe is blaming microsoft); we want them to fully investigate first.
    Sincerely,

  • Installing Web Premium CS4 Student Edition on Laptop After Windows 7 Upgrade Question

    I hope that this hasn't been asked before but my question is the following: I want to upgrade my laptop computer from Windows XP to Windows 7.  But I hear that all programs get uninstalled after installing Windows 7 on a Windows XP machine.  I would have to reinstall all programs again to use Web Premium CS4.  But my student edition says that I can only install the program on two computers.  Does this mean that I can install the program only two times or can I still install on the same laptop after changing the OS (I installed CS4 on two computers, my laptop and desktop)?  I would very much like to continue using Web Premium CS4 on my laptop but am worried that I won't be able to install it since I installed CS4 on my laptop and desktop (two installs already).  Let me know if I can install on the same laptop after upgrading to Windows 7.  Thanks in advance for the help.

    The issue is not installation...it's activation. Deactivate the software first. (Help > Deactivate from any application).
    Back up all of your data, preferences, etc because as you note, this will be a clean install of Windows. Be aware that this is only recommeneded method for upgrading a Windows installation. NEVER do an in place Windows (or, IMO, Mac OSX) upgrade.
