I downloaded a trial version and it deleted ALL of my Adobe software. Help!!

I downloaded a trial version of the new CS because my (purchased) CS6 wouldn't open some files from a friend. It WIPED OUT ALL of my Adobe software - EVEN on my Time Machine backups that go back 3 years. The application icon is greyed out and has a circle with a line through it. A client in 2008 purchased CS6 with 5 keys and I bought one of the key codes. NO, I don't have that key. I back up my computer every 2 weeks, why would I ever think I couldn't access MY software? It's been fine for the last seven years...until I downloaded the new trial version. I am soooooooo angry - and screwed. I have 100's of files that I can't open! HELP!!

While I do not know what you can do beyond downloading and reinstalling, it is not at all clear from your explanation what software version you are talking about. You talk as if CS6 was purchased 6 or 7 years ago, but CS6 wasn't released/sold until 2012.
If you registered the software then you might be able to find the serial number(s) you will need thru your Adobe account online, and that may help you identify which versions you own. Aside from registering your software, you should keep your own records of your serial numbers because they are your only way of activating applications.

I am getting the 'invalid personalization information' error when I start my photoshop cs8. I cannot find my original disk to re-install, but do have the serial number. Can I download a trial version and then enter my serial number?

If it is the first CS version then you will need to check out the following. I believe it applies to CS as well even though it specifies CS2....

I have deactivated my CS6 on my old computer and now when I have downloaded a trial version and enter the serial number it says not valid? I have only used my license on one computer before? Does anyone know the problem?

Hi ardror
What Product you're trying to download ?
Try Using another Browser...

I just got an iPhone 4s and when I tried to sync it with iTunes it said to uninstall and download the 64bit version. I uninstalled all ove my apple software before I could get it to install at all. Still doesnt work. Doesnt even recognize my phone.

I just bought an iPhone 4s yesterday and it wouldn't connect to the iTunes 10.6.3 I had already on my laptop for my husbands 3gs and my brother in laws iPhone 4. Neither of them ever had a problem syncing with itunes. When I tried I was told to uninstall itunes and reinstall a 64bit version. Took several attempts but I finally got it. Then it said that I needed to upgrade my apple mobile device support and for me to uninstall itunes again and reinstall it. I have done all of this several times and still cannot get it to work right. I have uninstalled every Apple software listed on my computer and had to reinstall it all. Help!!!!!!!

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Can someone help me... I try downloading photoshop trial version and it is saying "You are running an operating system that Photoshop no longer supports. Refer to the system requirements for a full list of supported platforms"

Basically, i can not find the "system requirements" so if someone could guide me to this or maybe tell me the solution to this problem, that would be great!
Thanks in advance

The easiest way to find system requirements is to search Google. In this case the search terms would be "Photoshop System Requirements"

Downloaded CS5 Trial version, photoshop doesn't work

I just downloaded the trial version of CS5. All the applications open and work except photoshop. When you open it it states "Some of the application components are missing from the application directory, please reinstall the application". If I un-install it, how do I reinstall it from the download.
I had CS2 installed and working just fine, then all of a sudden it would no longer open correctly. I uninstaled it and reinstalled several times before deciding to try CS5.

The reinstall process is the same as install and is described here :-

Did you run the installer and see any errors?

This is the website.

IF you know the exact file name of the download, you can search for it in the spotlight.
(This icon) in the upper right corner.
If you don't know the exact file name, you may have to redownload it so you can see it.
I would also try doing a reboot after you change your desktop background to what you want.

Cannot download aperture when using trial version and all photo work will be lost if delete trial version

App Store will not download aperture when using trial version and all 30 days of photo work will be lost if delete trial version to be able to purchase Aperture download version??? any ideas?

Your Aperture library is not deleted when you delete Aperture from the Applications folder. Neither are your settings BTW.
Do make certain your library is backed up!

I downloaded a trial version of IWork (even though I already had it on my MacBook) and after downloading I only had the trial version- did not have the full version anymore. I tried deleting the trial version and ended up deleting all of IWork. Help!

So after downloading this trial version, my own versions became trial. I deleted them and it ended up deleting all of my Iwork completly. I dont have the original disks as they have been long lost! How can I retrieve the lost Iwork files instead of having to pay for the system again??? PLease help!

I have the adobe cloud 9.99/ month photography package i downloaded lightroom 5.4, it told me it was a trial version, and i'm now at the end of the trial and it won't let me download the full version and i don't have a serial number

i have the adobe cloud 9.99/ month photography package i downloaded lightroom 5.4, it told me it was a trial version, and i'm now at the end of the trial and it won't let me download the full version and i don't have a serial number. also, when i click buy, i get an error message saying, "application not found."

There are two different LR’s, one with a serial-number licensing and one with a CC-signin license.
You should uninstall the serial-number LR you have installed, then
Quit the CC Desktop application,
Restart the CC Desktop application—this will rescan what you have installed and not see LR,
LR will now be on the CC Desktiop apps list, so install that.

I have just downloaded a trial version of Photoshop Elements onto my Mac Book Pro (10.9.4) and attempted to use Elements on an existing Photoshop file. I did not see the Elements option in my filter menu and need assistance

I have just downloaded a trial version of Photoshop Elements onto my Mac Book Pro (10.9.4). The installation to my hard drive went fine so I attempted to use Elements on an existing Photoshop file. I did not see the Elements option in my filter menu and am uncertain as to how to "add" the Elemnts to my existing filter choices. Please advise.

I'm sorry but it's very hard to understand what you mean. What filter menu? In which program? Do you mean you're trying to use PSE as an external editor with some other asset management program? Which one?

I downloaded a trial version and it deleted ALL of my Adobe software. Help!!
