How to tranfer CS4 to a new Computer?

I need to know how to deactivate my CS4 from one of my two old computers and reinstall it on my new windows 8. Any advise would be apprecieated.

Hi Brian2596,
Open the product you want to deactivate and choose Help > Deactivate.
Depending on the product, when prompted, click Deactivate, Suspend Activation or Deactivate Permanently.
Deactivate, Suspend Activation: Deactivates the software but retains the licensing information. You can use this option if this is a temporary deactivation, and you're planning to activate on this computer again.
Deactivate permanently: Deactivates the software and removes the licensing information from your computer. You'll need to enter the serial number again if you want to use the software on this computer.
Please refer the Video Tutuorial : http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-support-report/install-activate-and-deactivate-your-adobe-pr oduct/
Note : CS4 products have not been tested and supported on Windows 8. There might be compatibility issues.

Downloaded CS3, Computer Died, How do I get Photoshop on new computer?

Morning,
I bought Photoshop CS3 (single-user license) about a year ago and downloaded it directly from the Adobe site onto my computer. All was well in the world. Then last week my computer's motherboard died and it's looking like I have to get a new computer. However, I'm unsure how I can get Photoshop (either the original CS3 or upgrade to CS4) on my new computer. I have the seriel number of my original purchase and the credit card receipt but not sure what to do next. It doesn't look like I can just upgrade to CS4 since CS3 won't be on the new computer??? Or will it install the entire program and CS3 doesn't need to be on there as long as I provide the seriel number???
I really appreciate any help!

Exactly that. The update installer only checks the two serials. There is no requirement for any CS3 component to actually be present on the system. For the rest - as Buko said, you should be perfectly able to use your old drive on a new mobo, assuming you do not plan on formatting it or foregoing it in favor of new harddisks. If you do, it would still be smart to at least once plug in the old drive to deactivate PS, so you don't have to bother with calling phone support to do it for you. Reinstalling CS3 on the new system should be no problem, if you have the source files for the installer, but since you seem to plan to go with CS4, I guess it won't be necessary to start any discussions about backup DVDs or not. Still, make sure to always create backups in some form. You never know what happens tomorrow. even without hardware failures, there may be occasions that require a re-install.

Hey kevyg3,
I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:

I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer. I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4. They are both registered in my name. I need help doing a download.

I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer. I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4. They are both registered in my name. I need help doing a download. I was able to get part way through cs4, it showed up in my downloads but never got as far in the process as to ask for serial numbers. I tried with cs2 and I got an error message that some bit of information was incorrect. I currently have both downloaded on two other lap tops I own. One is operational and one is dead. I cannot access the dead one to remove the program. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

For CS2 you will need to download a special new version

MMy old MacBook pro died, got a new Mac, can I use my cs4 with my new computer? Do I need to buy a new license?

Using Time Machine, or any other such program, to transfer Adobe software from one machine to another works probably less than five percent of the time. Uninstall from your new machine. Run the cleaner tool (do a search for Cleaner Tool on this site if you don't know what it is). Then reinstall properly from original media or downloads.

Installing CS4 on a new computer.

I am trying to install CS4 onto a new imac I recently purchased. When I open the program it asks for the serial number for the CS4 product which I enter and get the green check mark. It then asks for an "Upgrade Check" this requires me to enter the product and serial number for which my version of CS4 was an upgraded version. I do not have the packaging or anything for the CS2 software this was an upgrade from, however it is still installed on my old computer. Is there anyway for me to be able to verify the serial number to install CS4 on my new computer. I have attached a screen shot of the second prompt screen. Please HELP!!

Hi dillonpope7,
You need to contact customer service to unlock the serial number.
You can even reach our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6

You're allowed two activations, so you may be okay. If not, you will need to contact activation support:

How to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library computer crash without wiping out "library" on ipod touch

how to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library lost in computer crash, without erasing ipod touch

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:
