How to re-activate CS4 & Acrobat Pro after crash?

After a disk replacement and and subsequent restore from Apple's Time Machine, CS4 components require reactivation. Keying in the serial number gives error: 150:30. I tried all the solutions offerred bij Adobe Support, to no avail. Is my only option de-installation and re-installation of the CS3/CS4 suite? I've no media, so I have to the download a demo version. Will my original serial number work? I am using Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8.2) on an iMac.

You need to uninstall and then re-install CS4. Time Machine re-installations just like transfers from one computer system to another don't always work.

    How do I transfer my Acrobat Pro 10 from one computer which dies to my new one.  I have serial number and am original buyer. Thx Jim

    if you need to reset your activation count, contact adobe support: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
    if you need the installation program and if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    and activate with your serial.
    if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

  • Adobe CS3 Suite -- How to Get InDesign and Acrobat Pro to Install?

    I uninstalled and deactivated my Adobe CS3 Design Premium from my 1st gen Macbook (2006) and installed it on my 3rd gen Macbook Air (2011). When I installed CS3 using the original discs, InDesign and Acrobat did not install properly. How to fix?
    My questions:
    1. Got any ideas how to install InDesign and Acrobat Pro without uninstalling the whole CS3, running the cleaner tool, and reinstalling everything again? I tried to rerun the installer just for InDesign and Acrobat Pro but I got the same result -- no install.
    2. Installing CS3 takes forever -- at least several hours. Is it because I'm sending it over my wireless network? (I'm "sharing" the DVD drive on my other Macbook because my Air doesn't have one.)
    Thanks so much!!
    (More background, in case it's useful -- before installing CS3, I had run the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to clean up the mess I made when I tried to migrate CS3 using Mac's migration assistant. I learned, thanks to this forum, that I couldn't use the Migration Assistant tomove CS3. I also found that the unistaller didn't transfer, so I manually deleted folders and then used the cleaner. It worked wel enough to allow me to install everything but InDesign and Acrobat Pro.)

    Thanks Jeff (and Manish). I'm all for better reliability and a quicker installation.
    This may seem like a dumb question, but how do I properly copy the CS3 install files onto a USB? Drag and drop everythng from the CD? Can I not just copy the files onto my desktop and install from there? That is what I thought Manish suggested, to install from the desktop.
    I had tried this method. After copying the install files to the desktop, here's what happened: I clicked the setup application and it opened, but it immediately detected that I had CS3 installed and wouldn't let me go any further. Perhaps that was due to other problems resulting from use of the Migration Assistant.
    Previously, when I used the install disk on the shared drive, I was able to open the setup and install the couple of CS3 programs that weren't installed the first time around. That installation attempt failed and led me here to my original post.
    Many thanks!

    how do i activate my iphone 4 after upgrading to ioS 5.1

    I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, but I'll try to answer!    You can either connect to iTunes and set up and activate there, or you can also use the setup assistant to set up your iPhone.  As far as carrier activation, you'll have to follow the protocol that your carrier uses.  Either switch SIM card, or call the number they use to allow device activation.  Is that what you were wanting to know?

    If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier.  The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

    I Just downloaded Acrobat Pro after trial and now I can't open any files, when I click on icon I get this message: the last time you opened Acrobat, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows.  Do you want to try to reopen its window again? If you choose not to reopen windows, you may have to open and position the window yourself.  There are 2 options: Don't Reopen or Reopen  Either choice leads to a window that pops upend says please wait while we launch Acrobat and then window just closes quickly.

    Hi mbt6833,
    You may goto control panel and then go to program and features.
    Select the Acrobat pro and chose the option change from the top. Fallow the onscreen instruction a windows will pop up where you need to choose repair.
