How to activate CS3 after HDD crash? Error 159:18, reinstalling did not help.

I am unable to re-activate CS3 after a hard drive crash, despite complete re-installation of the software.
I have: MacBook Pro 2008, OSX 10.6.8, CS3 Master Collection.
I had a hard drive crash and had to restore from Time Machine. On previous occasions when that happened, I have been able to re-open and activate CS3 with no problem. This time I got "we are unable to activate Adobe CS3 MC" message, error code 159:18. I contacted Adobe by Chat, they recommended uninstalling and then re-installing CS3 from my original disks or http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs3-product-downloads.html
. I did that, but I got the exact same message and error code. After that, Adobe Chat could not help and pointed me here.
CS3 has worked fine for six years on this same laptop, even after several HDD crashes and restores from Time Machine. It does not appear to be simply a Time Machine-caused error. (Furthermore, if I startup my laptop from a cloned bootable backup external drive, CS3 still opens.)
Could it be a hard disk problem, the same one that has caused previous crashes?

do not use time machine to install adobe programs.
uninstall everything installed using time machine, clean (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then properly install using the installation files.

How do I remove the license from a broken machine (HDD crashed) to use it on a new machine?

How do I remove the license for PSE from a broken machine (HDD crashed) to use it on a new machine?

You cannot remove the license from a broken machine.
Install and activate the software on new machine. Adobe provide the license to use the software on 2 computers, if you exceed then you are prompted with message wherein you can de-activate/remove the license from old machines.

My HDD crashed in my old PC and I built a new system. iTunes won't let me sync the music from my ipod back into the new version of iTunes I had to download. How do I fix?

Syncing music via iTunes is only one way: from iTunes to your iPod. If you need to copy the music from your iPod back to your PC, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

It should be like the very first time you synced your phone with I-Tunes. It will notice you haven't synced before and just copy everything from your phone into I-Tunes. It shouldn't delete anything from the phone, at least it never has for me. It just puts a copy of everything into I-Tunes and even if you delete an app for example from your phone and you decide you want it back later, you can just go back into I-Tunes and copy it back over. Hope this helps.

HDD crash requiring complete reload on new drive, now can't install ID CS5.5 (can't activate)

I've been using a Vista system for the past couple years and had ID CS5.5 installed. A few days ago, my HDD crashed and will not boot. It's gone. So I've installed a new drive, installed Windows 7, and am in the process of reloading my programs. I've had no problem until attempting to load ID CS5.5, which is a full retail version I purchased directly from Adobe by phone about a year ago. It accepts the serial number, but when I select "Next", I get another prompt saying although the serial number is valid, it needs a serial number from a previous version....which I don't have since I didn't have a pervious version....and my copy of CS5.5 is NOT an upgrade version.
I contacted Adobe customer service and got someone in India who obviously didn't understand the issue, and continually pushed to purchase the most recent version....which I DO NOT want to do. All I want to do is use the same CS5.5 I've been using. I ended up having to terminate the conversation.
I then contacted the person who builds my systems, and he said he'd had the same problem several times with Adobe activation involving customer computer crashes. He went on to tell me that I first have to de-activate from the old system, then re-activate on the replacement system. But in my case, the HDD is fried and I'm not able to de-activate my ID CS5.5.
So I'm in a catch-22. I have a perfectly good CS5.5 that I've paid for and now can't use. I feel like I'm being punished because my computer crashed...which wasn't my fault, and it's not like I'm trying to load CS5.5 on a second system. It's simply a replacement system due to the crash.
What can I do?
Thanks
Denny

Thanks Dov. I hadn't accessed my Adobe account for quite a while, so just did and was reminded that my CS5.5 is in fact an upgrade to CS2 that I'd purchased a long time ago and forgot about it. My fault. I loaded CS5.5 as a trial, so was able to enter the serial number for CS2 as the previous version, and it activated.
But I agree, the person I spoke to should not treat any customer in that manner. Must be working on commission sales...and they were going to charge me for their "Expert help and advice".

HDD crashed,lost everything. How do I get back all previous purchased apps?

My comp HDD crashed and I cannot retrieve anything at all...bought a new HDD and installed Itunes. When I sync my ipod touch, there was an error ang forced me to restore. Now all my songs and applications are gone. I dun mind the songs but I want the applications that I paid for. Is there a way to get it back?

When you purchase an App, your download history for that item is stored in your account. When you try to download it again on your iPod/iTunes, it will notify you with "You have already purchased this item. To download it again for free, select OK." There are no additional charges in regards to the App store.

Recovering Library from HDD crash

I have CDs and other music in my library which is synced to both iPod & iPad. The laptop on which I kept my library had a HDD crash. How do I recover the non-purchased music into my "new" iTunes library?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

HDD Crashed, can't find my disk

We'll my old MB Late 2007 HDD crashed a year and a half or so ago, and I still haven't found my disk to re-install Leopard. I want to toss in a new HDD, switch my new RAM from my MBP to my old MB when I upgrade my RAM, and use it as a dedicated computer for my TV. How would I go about re-installing Leopard? I can only upgrade to Snow Leopard , right?

Contact Apple using expresslane.apple.com if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. They can get you the install DVD you will need for your MacBook's software.
Be aware that the RAM from your MacBook Pro may have different specs from the MacBook. RAM is cheap, you need 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM.
The Late 2007 MacBook can run Mac OS X 10.7.4 (Lion) assuming it has sufficient RAM and hard drive space.
Best of luck.

De-activate and re-activate after HDD failure

Hi, as above computer has a fatal HDD failure, so I can't access Photoshop Elements 11,
how do I de-activate and re-activate on the new HDD install? Thanks in advance, Herman

Your PSE license is for up to two computers, so if you only had it installed once, prior, just install and activate it again. If this new computer would be the third computer, then you’ll need to contact Adobe Activation Support via chat to deactivate your old computer on their server.

HDD crash. Need help Importing Events and Projects

So recently my HDD crashed which had all of my footage/clips/Events/Projects on it. Luckily I had backed everything up (using copy and paste). Only problem is, when I open iMovie, none of my Projects or Events are listed. I realize that somewhere i movie just "points" to the location of the files. How can I re-associate iMovie with the files in the new location?

So, I think I answered my own question and decided to post it here for those of you that may have a similar question. I went to import a new movie and, though it would not let me choose which subdirectory (folder) I wanted to save into, iMovie would let me choose which drive I wanted to save to. I selected my new Files drive and notice that it created a new iMovie Events folder. I thought....hmm, maybe if I just drag my original iMovie Events folder and iMovie projects folder into the root directory of the drive it will recognize them.... I closed iMovie, dragged the files from a subfolder into the new location, opened iMovie, and whalah! it worked!

Apple iBook HDD crashed

Finally, my Apple iBook G4 HDD crashed to my dismay.
*Any website to guide us on how to replace the HDD? What HDD model to use? SATA? *
went to a hardware shop and was told that ibook G4 HDD is difficult to replace, hence a nominal fees be charged. total estimated cost could be S$250 or US$166.
really loved the apple/ itune as a music centre. music very pleasing as compared to it's rival.
look forward to your help.. TIA

Odd--it worked for me just now. They may have been down for a while or something.
The higher the RPM in a drive, the faster it is supposed to be. I installed the 5400 RPM Western Digital 120 GB drive in my iBook G4. Later I wished that I had installed the WD 250 GB drive, as the 120 is half full already with digitized vinyl. Now you can get a capacity up to 320 GB's from Western Digital.
You can pick whatever capacity and brand you think will best suit your needs. Most will be 5400 RPM. There may be some 7200RPM ones as well--I haven't really looked lately. ANY Parallel ATA notebook drive will work in your iBook. The Seagate you mentioned would be fine, and Seagate offers a 5 year warranty. I recommend looking at Newegg and OWC (Other World Computing) for drives, and not just at ifixit. Often Newegg and OWC have drive specials, and you can get a better deal on the one you like.
Again, post back for further tips, or search for tips posted by cornelius and spudnuty in this forum. In particular, Richard (spudnuty) recommends that you do NOT unplug the power button from its socket on the logic boar, but instead undo some tape and then use 3M blue tape to tape stuff up out of the way instead. I concur. It is not necessary to unplug this cable as ifixit tells you to in order to change out the hard drive, and there is a great risk that if you try, the socket will get ripped off of the logic board. Then you are really screwed.
You also want to use high quality tools and always use exactly the right size and type of screwdriver on these tiny screws.
If any more questions, do post back.
Good luck!
