I don't have access to my OLD computer to deactivate the Photoshop Elements 9 program

I don't have my OLD computer (I returned it to the manufacturer HP because of defects, after deleting the entire memory. So I can't deactivate the program installation on that OLD computer and the program won't allow me to install it on the NEW computer (it's written that I have reached the limits of 2 installations. I had only installed it on my OlD computer (twice, because of computer defect and resetting). What do I do? And who can help deactivate my OLD computer (without me having to pay $39!!!!)
Thank you.

Only Adobe customer support can resolve activation issues. You can contact them:

If an agent is available, you can initiate an online chat session to resolve activation issues on the spot.

HT4527 how do i sync my ipod with itunes on a new computer, when i don't have access to my old computer?

how do i sync my ipod with i tunes on a new computer when i don't have access to my old computer?

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Saving other data is also described here. How to back up your data and set up as a new device
You can also back up iTunes and restore it on your new computer How to back up your media in iTunes , but the iPhone will be erased anyway during the first sync.

I don't have access to my main computer which has the sync account and I want to sync new computers.

What it says on the tin. The laptop on which I had set up the account was damaged and I currently don't have access to it. The problem with Sync is that because I don't have that computer, I don't have the ability to add new computers to sync, which is what I want to do. I don't want to reset my sync account and delete the data it holds. Need be, I will provide proof that I belong to that account.

If you didn't backup your sync key then you won't be able to access that sync account.<br />
The sync key is only stored on the computer(s) that you sync an never on the sync server in a way that you can access it (may be part of the sync data (passwords) though).

Don't have access to my old computer with original itunes on.

Hi all
I recently requested my 4s to be unlocked by my network provider, they did this and advised I needed to connect to itunes to complete the unlocking.
The problem is I can't do this as I no longer have access to the old computer with itunes on, is there anyway round this?
Thanks in advance
Darren

Completeling the unlock process requires restoring the device via iTunes on the computer.
Do you not have access to any computer with iTunes installed?

Hello, nikkihutchins10.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are attempting to reset your Apple ID password. I would try resetting your password via answering the security questions instead of sending the email. The first article will walk you through that process. If you are still unable to reset your Apple ID password, see the steps in the second article.
If you forgot your Apple ID password
Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
Cheers,
Jason H.

How do I get the password for an old apple id, when I don't have access to that old email address, and it doesn't recognize my birthdate?

How do I get the password for an old apple ID when I dont have access to the email address and it does not recognize my birthdate?

Hi Attila528,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are not able to receive a rescue email to reset your security questions and password:
You'll need to contact iTunes Store support to have your questions and answers reset.
You can find the article with this information here:
Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
After your password, security questions and answers are reset, I'd recommend providing a new rescue email address:
You can edit or delete your rescue email address at My Apple ID. To edit your rescue email address:
Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
All the best,
Jeremy

How can I deactivate a computer in iTunes if I don't have access to it? Computer crashed and now I'm at my limit of 5 and can't add my new computer

I'm trying to upgrade the iOS for my iPad 2 and I can't because it will delete all my purchased apps since the computer I'm using can't be activated. My old desktop has no access to the Internet anymore and my laptop is fried so I don't have the ability to deactivate either of them. iTunes says that I've reached my limit of 5 and I have no idea what the other three are, but I need to activate my new laptop so that I can upgrade the iOS on my iPad. How can I deactivate computers that are either not online or dead?

1. open itunes
2. click "itunes store" on left side
3. click "account" on right side
4. login
5. click "deauthorize all" button
this will obviously deauthorize all computer associated with your account, then you can re-add the ones you need afterwards.
note: i've heard (i dont know this for a fact) that you can only do this once per year.

HT1329 how can i move my music from my ipod to a new computer? i no longer have access to my old computer

i am trying to transfer the music i have on my ipod to a new computer but i no longer have access to the old computer. Is there anyway that this can be done?

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. The exception is purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Deactivate a licence when I don't have access to my previous computer

How can I verify my Apple ID if I don't have access to my old email?

Apple asks me to verify my ID by clicking on the comfirmation email that it just sent, only the email in question doesn't exist anymore. I mean, if I had a magic letter opener that swiped electronic mail in rogue-like fashion, these things would not become problems. Surely Apple didn't expect EVERYONE to keep the same email address for years upon years...
So what it do? Do I pay for Apple telephone support? I'm on hold right now, as a matter of fact. The problem is so miniscule that the nice girl on the phone waived my first fee! Apple, baby, get on it will ya? There are about to be a LOT of unhappy people swinging that little knocking hinge on the front door...hard.

ok... i figured out "A" solution.
Go to https://appleid.apple.com/, choose "Manage your account", enter your old apple id email and password, then edit the verification email to a functional email address. This will send the email verification to your newly chosen apple id. PLEASE NOTE, this email address can NOT be a MobileMe (@me.com or @mac.com) email address OR an address already verified on an existing apple id (some folks added and secondary email address to their MobileMe apple id).
Here's where it gets even more confusing. You've now changed your apple id email. Problem is you need to reset the password you never created (lol). Go back to https://appleid.apple.com/, choose "Reset your password", then enter your newly changed apple id email address and follow the instructions.
Now, log into that email account and open the email to reset your password. Follow those instructions.
Now that you've changed your apple id email address, reset that password you are ready to finally verify your apple id. Open your email account and follow the instruction (link) to verify account. It will ask you for you (new) apple id email and (new) password.
Finally, now that everything is verified, you will now need to go into your iTunes, iPhone, iTouch and anything else associated with the old apple id email and update your log in info. You are now free to resume the services that worked just fine before the self-destruct button was pressed.
I love Apple as a whole but, wow... I feel like I'm at the beginning of MobileMe again.
Good luck and I hope this helps everyone!
ON A POSITIVE NOTE:
I appeared to loose nothing at this time through this process (i.e. music, apps, credits, etc.) except perhaps my cool. :-)

How do I reset my security questions if I forgot the answers and don't have access to my email?

I for got the answers to my security questions. I can't retrieve the answers because I don't have access to my old email account. how do I reset my security questions, if I forgot the answers and don't have access to my email?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I want to delete an iCloud account from my iPhone. It says I have to turn off 'Find my iPhone'. I can't do that because the applied on the iPhone is an old one to which I don't have access anymore. What do I do?

For some reason the iCloud account on my iPhone has reverted to an old Appleid. I now can't get rid of it for the above reason--I can't turn 'Find my iPhone' off since that old appleid is no longer active and I don't have access to the email address since its from an old job. I am in a catch 22. I can't move for

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
