How do I deactivate a second copy of Photoshop from a dead computer?

How do I deactivate Photoshop CS5 in a defunct computer? My Sony Viao desktop (XP) died without hope of resuscitation. My second copy is in a small laptop that I use continually for tethering while photo shooting. I now have a brand new ASUS, but can't put Photoshop CS5 in it without deactivating the Viao copy of Photoshop CS5. How can I do this? I use Photoshop CS5 all the time and really need it.

How can i buy a second copy of Lion from the App store?

I have a number of Macs at home. one is a 8 core Nehalem running 10.6.8 I tried a number of time to buy a copy of Lion to install and it will not let me, it says I have already installed it (i have but on another computer) I talked to the Genius' at the local Apple store and he told me I could buy it for $69 on a USB stick and install it. I pointed out to him that if the app store was working correctly I could get it for $29, at that point he had no more genius answers other than "call Apple"
I know i can take my download from the first purchase and install on my second system and everything will work, but I want to stay legal and buy the second copy(for $29.99)any suggestions other than "Call Apple" ?

When you say "Authorized" you mean in the sense of Itunes Store Authorized? if so the system in Question is authorized it is my primary Workstation and was waiting until iCloud came out to update to Lion. My MBP , and 2006 MP are all running Lion and are part of the 5 systems "authorized". I did not run into this issue with either the MBP or the MP when i installed and I bought two copies at the same time on my the first day Lion was available.
Do you know the mechanism with which the App Store tracks purchases on different computers prior to iCloud coming out?
once again thanks for your response

How can I download my copy of photoshop from a new computer?

Hi, I'm trying to download my copy of photoshop and I'm entangled by menu options.
It was once downloaded on an old computer, but I have no access to that computer anymore--long story, the program isn't in use.
Is it even possible? Thanks in advance, -Allen

If you bought it from Adobe, your download link is still available on the Adobe site. Go to the My Adobe or My Orders link.
If not, did you not see the link Pierre posted above? I realize the forum font is kind of microscopic...

My macbook pro logic board died. I had all my music on an external drive. How do I get my iTunes library, playlists etc. from my dead computer onto my new one?

My logic board died on my old macbook pro. I have a new one, but I want to get my iTunes library off my old hard drive and put it on my new one. I had set up my old MBP to store all my iTunes music on an external drive, so I have the music. The iTunes program was on the old MBP hard drive.How do I essentially recreate my previous iTunes library, playlists, etc on my new laptop?

You will need the iTunes Library.itl file which generally lives in ~/Music/iTunes/. You can recover this from the backups you were making before the HDD died. Otherwise, you cannot recreate the library.

Can I install a second copy of photoshop elements 2.0 on my partners laptop? and can she use it also?

Can I install a second copy of photoshop elements 2.0 on my partners laptop? and can she use it also?

Wow, Thanks for the answer,
As some software has multiple user limitations, i wanted to check that out, in case your only meant to install on only one computer,
so its okay for my partner to use it to?
And also, is it alright to make money from using photoshop elements 2.0?
Do you recommend any free up dates to elements 2.0?
Thanks

Hold down the option key while starting iTunes.
It's up to you but sometimes it helps to provide more details as to why you want to do this. What I told you may not necessarily be the best answer in all situations.

How do I deactivate CS2 Premium software when I no longer have computer?

How can I deactivate the license for CS2 Premium software for a computer I no longer have, so I can install on my current computer?

Deactivation is no longer available for CS2 or earlier since Adobe decommissioned the CS2 activation server a couple of years ago.
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
On your new computer, download the new non-activation CS2 from the above link and enter the new serial number provided at that link. Your existing CS2 serial number will no longer work.
PS This will only work for Windows. CS2 will not install or run on modern Macs since the PowerPC code it is written in is incompatible with Intel processors.

How can I stop other people copying my images from my web site.

I use dreamweaver CS3 for the mac

both are a waste of time. Fornication with a leaky condom.
Pointless and not
worth the effort. Or worse!
the obfuscation JavaScript will get the site to not be
listed in any search
engines because they can't "see" the page or any links on it.
You would be
"protecting" the images but no one would find them.
And all of those obfuscation JS things can be reverse
engineered. In most
cases- it's not worth it to prove it can be broken other than
to prove it
can be done. The images are nothing special in almost any
site using one of
those $29.95 applications.
Have you done the basics? Turned off directory browsing or
put a default
index page in every folder? A few years ago i ran across a
site with one of
those block right click scripts on it. Dumb curiosity- opened
a picture, and
looked around the directory. All open directories. A block
right click
script and every folder on the site was open.

Nuff said. The blocking script made me curious enough to poke
around the
directories.

My computer that had Adobe Photoshop CS6 on it was hit by lightening and cannot be repaired. I want to get a copy of Photoshop for my new computer. I have an open case, but I cannot get Adobe to respond to it. I have sent the serial# and a copy of the license. Every time I try the chat function to get help, I get dropped with the message "chat is no longer available." I WANT MY PHOTOSHOP!

This is a user forum, not a channel to address Adobe. As your fellow users and volunteers, we'll be happy to help you if we can.
You can download the CS6 trial version just like anybody else.
Once you download it, you can install it, input your serial number, register it and apply all necessary updates.
An alternative, if you know how to access your Adobe account, under My Products you'll find your Photoshop CS6 registration, next to which you should find a link to download CS6 if you originally bought it as a download

I need to move my copy of CS6 from my old computer to a new one. Do I need my license reset?

You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines, so there is nothing you need to do other than install (not move) the software on the new machine, unless you already have it activated on two machines.
If you do not plan to use the old machine again or would simply prefer to remove the software from it, or you would like to retain an activation for another machine at some point, it is best that you deactivate it beforehand. To deactivate open one of the applications and choose Help -> Deactivate. Once you deactivate it there is nothing else you need to do unless you want to uninstall it as well to gain more drive space.
