I currently have CS5 Premium disks I can't get reinstalled because they say no longer supported??

HELP!!!  :-)
I currently have CS5 Premium and when I went to reinstall on my new laptop after my old one fried it says invalid serial number.
I just literally spent the last 2 1/2 hours on chat with adobe technical to find they say its no longer supported and i have to upgrade for tons of money??
I originally got the disks through college bookstore for a lot less than what the upgrade is.
Is there anyway to install and make the disks I have work??
Thanks!!

Going through the same thing myself - finding that chat support requires patience.
One thing I found was a page where you can enter either your original coupon code OR  the email of the original installation (which I used) I then got a list of serial numbers associated with my email.
It came back with a bunch of different serial numbers.
They have changed the serial number format !!
It now has 5 characters and after that 6 groups of 5 numbers.
I found I have one of these !?
Now if I can just get an authorization I can hopefully install CS3 on my new computer.
try this link.

  • I have an apple ID and password but my ipad is broken and they say they can't get in because they don't have my i cloud password.  I never set one up and don't know what one is

    My I pad broke after only a few months and now they won't mend it as they say they can't get in as my i cloud password not working.  I never even set one up?  I have an apple id and password but that's not enough for them to get in.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    It's your Apple ID and password they want.

  • Firefox will not open, and I can't uninstall/reinstall because it says "close Firefox first"

    After running Ccleaner today (and it asked me to "close Firefox or the internet cache will not be cleared", but Firefox was closed or so I think), I can't open Firefox at all; double-clicking the Firefox icon on the desktop does nothing, and no other way works. I thought of doing an uninstall/reinstall but it says "close Firefox first" - but for me it is truly closed.

    See if you can Force Quit things holding CMD+Option+esc keys.

  • I'm a Neanderthal when it comes to this.... I have an ipad2 and I can't get Facebook bc it says my iOS isnt up to date/I need a newer one.  Problem is in general settings there's no update software button

    theres no update in settings.... I go to iTunes n it doesn't have updates either.....how the **** do I update my software n my iOS to current standards. 

    If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • I can't load firefox because it says "Profile Missing- Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." Can't delete either. Help?

    I have a Mac and I can't open firefox because it says "Profile Missing-Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." Then I tried to delete it by moving it to trash and it says it cannot be moved to the trash.

    Create a new profile to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • I currently have the Mac OS X v10.5.8 and want to get the new operating system but I don't know how to do it. I don't have the Mac App Store and can't get it because of my version. What do I do?

    I currently have the Mac OS X v10.5.8 and want to get the new operating system but I don't know how to do it. I don't have the Mac App Store and can't get it because of my version. What do I do?

    The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
    If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=10.6+snow+leopard&_sacat=0&_odkw=mac+os+10.6 &_osacat=0
    Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.  The price is still $29. You must have at least a model 2,1 MacBook.
    Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

    Hi,
    I'm trying to change email address on my Apple ID since the email registered for the account has been hacked and I can't access it anymore. The email I want to change to is connected to another Apple ID I created about 4 years ago, though I successfully changed the email on that account as well. So the email I would like to use for my main Apple ID shouldn't be "locked" anymore.
    Though, when trying to change the email on my Apple ID I get an error message (in Swedish, so this is a direct translate from google): "This e-mail address is your email address for notification. It can not be used as the Apple ID or primary email. Choose a different address."
    I'm not really sure what this means or how I can fix this.
    It means exactly what it says... The email Address is in Use. You cannot re-use it.

  • Have a current movie on my computer and can't get it into ITunes so I can put on my IPad

    Have a current movie on my computer and can't get it into ITunes so I can put on my IPAd.  I tried dragging from desktop and nothing happens, also tried adding file or folder to library and nothing happens.

    Convert your movie to quicktime or another format iTunes can play.
    If you can add it and play it in iTunes, it will also work on the iPad.

  • I have cs5 on my pc, can i buy cs6 for mac separately and keep both?

    I have cs5 on my pc, can i buy cs6 for mac separately and keep both?
    I have cs5 installed and activated on PC A and PC B.
    If I buy CS6, can I use that on my MAC C and MAC D while still being able to use the cs5 on my PC A and PC B, since mac and pc are two different platforms?
    Thank You!

    No. That would be against the letters and the legal spirit of the EULA and that aside it's not possible for technical reasons. Either you make a platform swap, in which case you will lose your PC licenses of course,  or you buy a second CS6 license for your Mac(s) and keep your CS5 on the PCs.

  • I lost my emac G4 installation disk, how can i get my admin password back?

    I lost my emac G4 installation disk, how can i get my admin password back?

    Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
    1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
    2. wait for terminal show
    3. release keys
    4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
    5. press enter
    6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
    7. press enter
    8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
    9. press enter
    This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
    Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
    http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
    Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
    To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
       1. Reboot
       2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
       3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
              * mount -uw /
              * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
              * shutdown -h now
       4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!

  • MacBook Pro. Was Streaming radio. When came back to computer it appeared to have shut off. Now can't get it to respond in any way.

    MacBook Pro. Was Streaming radio. When came back to computer it appeared to have shut off. Now can't get it to respond in any way. Now that you can't remove the battery, I don't know how to get it to quit, although it doesn't appear to be making any noise, so might have quit on it's own.  Any ideas? Thanks!

    I honestly don't remember what it came with though I do remember having two drives so long ago.  Since then I've had to replace them with newer, faster ones, and just didn't really need a second drive.  I don't copy cds, I just need something to read DVDS (which the current one doesn't seem to want to do) and occasionally burn something.
    I bought the MacPro becuase I am a tireless multitasker, having super memory eating programs on at all times.  Right now I am working in Photoshop while watching a movie, with two P2P programs open, two chat programs and surfing the internet, with two monitors active so I can see everything.. I can't imagine the average pc doing this wthout blowing up   Mac Pros are the ultimate computer for those that like to do a lot at once.
    The speed and memory capacity of the Mac Pro make it the best computer hands down to handle a mind that can't be satisfied with doing just one thing at a time!
    And six years after buying it, it can still eat the average pc for breakfast  How's that for great?

    i have an iphone 3gs and i can't load facebook because it says i need os 4.3 or higher but i have 4.2.1

    If you're using an iPhone 3G, you can't use the current version of that application.
    If you're using an iPhone 3GS, connect it to iTunes on a computer and update it.
