How to install cs4 on new computer without disks?

Originally purchased CS4 in 2009 by download, not disk, and want to move it to a new computer (Windows 7). Can't find a file on Adobe.com to download, install, and activate. Adobe website says no chat or phone support for a product that old. Help, please?

Download the trial version from http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
Ensure that you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page before clicking the download link otherwise the link will not work.
When you launch the trial, enter your serial number to license it.

How to changing onto a new machine without original disks

My imac is unstable, constantly freezes - I want to use my macbook pro. I have Indesign CS4, probably upgraded from pageMaker 6.5 Plus. I have the serial number for that but can't find one for InDesign. I have tried to copy from Time machine disk onto macbook but get error message about the licence code 150:30. I have deactivated the copy on the iMac. Please help,

I'd agree with Bob. There's no problem installing CS4. You can download a clean install from here:
Other downloads
You may need to clean off the stuff from Time Machine with the Adobe Cleaner here:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
But if you have no serial number, and no proof of purchase, you're still out of luck.

How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod?

Hey Guys
I need a bit of help.
My old computer died, it was running Windows XP. I've got myself a new computer running Windows 7.
I have a copy of my iTunes folders from my old computer (taken 2 days before it died)
How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod touch?
I've imported all the folders (music, apps etc) into the new computer's iTunes, but when I sync my iPod
I receive a window asking if i want to sync i need to erase and replace with the iTunes library on the computer.
I particularly don't want to do this.
My wife also uses my iTunes for her iPhone.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup. Then restore the iPod from that backup and sync as necessary.

The ipod is not a backup device. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The ony exception is itunes purchases.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Transfer CS4 to new computer

Download the CS4 trial, input your legitimate serial number when installing it.

HOw to transfer Itunes to new computer so that existing Ipods linked to that account are recognized on new PC

Old PC Windows XP. Now Purchasing a new PC(Windows 7). Will need to transfer existing Itunes account/music/apps to the new PC. Once done, will existing Ipods be recognized on the new PC so that syncing and transfers are not an issue. I know that when I connect our Ipods to our second PC Iwe have limited options when it comes to syncing/transferring.

As long as you are syncing to the same library you were before then it should be a relatively seamless transition. To move the entire library:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

How to sync iPhone to new computer without erasing? (iTunes 11.0.5)

I recently purchased a new computer (MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.5) and I've tried everything to sync my iPhone (3GS) to iTunes (11.0.5) without having to erase everything and I haven't had any success.
There must be someone out there who has been able to sync their phone to the new iTunes without having to erase all the content on their phone.
Any help?

Hi,
Option 1:
     If you have purchased a new Mac from an Local Apple store, I'd advise you to bring in your old computer along with your new one in, and have them assist you on transferring. (Assuming your computer doesn't not even power up)
Option 2:
     If your computer can be powered up (seeing the Apple Logo), and your hard drive is fine, then you can connect the two computers by using a Firewire cable, and then transfer the music files by drag and drop.
     http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
Option 3:
     There are 3rd party software that you may purchase used to extract music from your iPhone, but it will have to be done at your own risk. You may Google for extracting music from iPhone for a start.

How to transfer license to new computer?

Hi. I have Photoshop Elements 7 and Adobe Premiere Elements 7 installed on my computer. I have bought a new computer. I won't be using the programs on my old one.
My question is how to transfer the license from the old computer to the new one? Any advice is much appreciated.
Angel

Angel,
You just need to uninstall PSE7 and PRE 7 from your old computer, this will delete the licensing information from the machine and then use the same serial keys to install PSE and PRE on your new machine. Works for me.

HT3819 computers in 2 different countries, how to transfer library to new computer

Hi does anyone know if it is possible to transfer my library from a computer in Australia to my new computer in Uk??

Hi...
Purchases made from one country cannot be used in another.
And be aware for iTunes purchases, your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

HT4527 my old laptop is dead how do I sync to new computer without losing everything

I am trying to sync my ipod classic to a new computer my old one is dead, but it wants to erase everything how do I do this without losing all my music?

I think you were saying your computer was very slow when I first clicked on this thread... If so start at the beginning, otherwise skip to the last paragraph.
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

How do I sync to new computer without losing all of my music?

My old computer finally crashed and I had all of my music on there. The songs are all lost. Most of it was from CDs I had (100s of CDs) that I no longer own due to a house fire a few months back. The only versions I have of them are on my iPhone 4S so I don't have any way to back them up because in order to sync to a new computer you lose everything and get whats on the new one conputer.
I have no idea how to save the ~1300 songs that I have from all those old mix CDs and stuff because I need to get my phone set up with this new computer and sync new music.
Is there anyway to guarentee I will not lose my entire library?

This might help

I don't want to lose my bookmarks and system I've set up, how do I sync a new computer without losing my old sync information?

I have a very extensive bookmark system already in place with the old sync. I just got a new laptop and need all of those bookmarks to transfer and sync to the new laptop. The website tells me that it doesn't recognize my account name, and I don't want to lose all my old information. I am scared that the procedure they mention if you have an old account, will not sync my bookmarks. How should I proceed?

Note that you have to update ALL of your devices to use Firefox 29 in order to use the new Sync. Once you update your Sync account to the new version using the [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]] link then your bookmarks ,etc will be transferred over.
Thank you Ed for putting that in. It's always recommended to back up all of your personal information e.g. bookmarks, passwords in case something goes wrong.
