How do I activate previously store bought CS6 Student version on a new computer without optical drive?

I have a store bought student version of CS6, which I have had on my old computer for the last 2 years. I now bought a new computer without an optical drive and I tried downloading the software from Adobe. When I entered the previously assigned serial number it said "The serial number you entered is invalid. Please try again. If the problem persists, contact Customer Support" well....there is no real customer support that I can find, so any help would be appreciated.

if you can't solve the problem using the above, contact adobe support -

You can get cs6 from here, it just needs your serial number when you install it.

Hi elizabethann317!
I have an article here that can tell you what media you can and cannot transfer from phone to computer, and can provide you with some links to steps for completing these types of syncs:

How do I get my old iPhone 4g to work with a new computer without losing all data on it?

I bought a new MacBook Pro with Retna display to replace a dead gateway running Windows XP. My iPhone 4 was always connected to the old gateway and I synced to the iTunes on it. Now I have my new MacBook up and running and have logged into its new iTunes and synced my new iTunes to my Apple ID and to the apple store. Everything looks good in the new iTunes. Problem is now when I connect my old iPhone to the new computer it's iTunes warns of my iPhone data about to be erased. How can I prevent losing all my stuff. I don't want to lose all my text messages on the iPhone. What can I do to prevent losing everything from my phone?

Ok thanks again for your reply, link to Apple article, and concern for my questions. That is very refreshing to have people willing to share their knowledge like you.
So why do you suppose we get this awful warning when we connect our iPhone to a new computer that all data on the phone will be deleted if we continue? Furthermore why don't we get a further explanation as to what to do sat that point?
I can not stand warnings like this that make me feel like I have done something wrong, that somehow I may be violating my terms of service. All that legalize is not customer friendly. Apple has always impressed my more that any company with excellent personal customer service but this is not good the way they scare you when you honestly are trying to move to a new computer with your old iPhone.

How to install Photoshop (already owned and NOT CC) on new computer without CD drive?????

First off, I am going to say that I think it is ridiculous that you can get NO phone support from adobe if you aren't a CC member???? So existing CS6 and LR5 users have to just use the forum?? Honestly, that is the worst customer service possible. I don't need to upgrade to CC because I already bought the programs before CC even came out!
I just got a new computer and it has no CD drive, so I have no way to install photoshop via the disk that I have. Do I just need to get a disk drive because there is no CS6 download? I just need to download it so I can put in my serial number which I have on my box.

HT1296 How can I sync the content on my iPad 1 to my new computer without losing anything?

My old computer (a PC) is crashed and is no longer usable. I hadn't synced my iPad to that computer in several months. Now, I have a Mac Air and when I plug my iPad 1 into it, I get a message that states the iPad is synced with another iTunes library. I'm given the option to Erase and Sync, but that will mean that I'll lose what's currently on my iPad. Is there a way to avoid that?

This will work with all purchased content on the iPad.
If you have synced photos on the iPad that you want to transfer to the Mac, you will need a third party app like Photo Transfer - or an application like TouchCopy, that will transfer everything into the new iTunes library - if you care to check that out.
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your MBA and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new MBA, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

You can always download apps again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID. This will explain how to download past purchases if needed.

Transferring a Previously Purchased Product to a New Computer without Disk Drive

I've recently upgraded computers from an iMac to a Macbook Pro with Retina (which has no disk drive). I need to transfer my Adobe Photoshop CS5 to my new computer - but have no way of installing it since there is no disk drive. Where can I find a download of Photoshop CS5 so I can complete my transfer?

Yeah I do expect some of that as well but I had this program running happily on my last laptop and it is all the same OS (Win 7) and all but just no disk drive to load it from. If I was moving to a new OS then I could see it but this is just a fact of downloading a file. I tried to copy over the program from my back-up drive but it will not accept it. Its a planned obsolescence I suppose but a program from a reputable company that is still working on current OS systems should be supported or at least available for download. They just want our money.

How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
Good luck & happy computing!

There are no keys, there is no trial version of OSX (ML or Mavericks) and Mavericks is free

I just bought a new computer without a disc drive. How can I download my CS3?

Still not working. I need step by step instructions... I'm trying to follow the ones on the link as best I can but after I install the Adobe Download Assistant, log into Adobe and then click on the file 1 hyperlink and begin download for CS3 Adobe Illustrator, it downloads to my desktop. Then when I open it it says the following- see screen shot saying "setup" cant be opened because it is from an unidentified developer."
Additionally, Creative Suite is not feautred on this screen after I have signed int Adobe with my ID. See screen shot below.

Per Adobe website, a download for Acrobat 9 for Mac is "not available." What alternative does Adobe offer to those who have bought and paid for Acrobat and now have computers without optical drive to install that previously purchased software? Buy a PC? Buy an external CD drive? Is the answer really "too bad"?
