I have an older version of Photoshop CS.  It was working perfectly and now it says I need to reactivate it.  How do I do that?

All of a sudden my Photoshop will not work.  I have used it for years and am happy with it.  There is no longer phone support for activation and the website referred to in the phone message at Adobe is no longer valid.  Suggestions?

Due to the activation servers for CS and CS2 being taken down, you will no longer be able to activate your copy.
However Adobe has provided a non-activation version of CS2 for you free of charge.
Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products   Use the serial number next to the download link, not your original one.

  • I have an older version of Photoshop...3.5... I bought a new computer and it will not load. Can I get another of the same version? or do I have to buy a new one?

    I have an older version of Photoshop...3.5.  I bought a new computer and what I have will not load. I love this version. Can I get a new cd that will load into Windows 7? or do I have to buy a complete new program?

    No CD, but you can download the installation files if you have the serial number, and the previous install has been deactivated
    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
    or
    Download Adobe CS5.5 Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant / Manager) | ProDesignTools
    If you are unable to deactivate the earlier installation, you wil need  to phone customer support and ask them to reset your activations.

  • I have an older version of photoshop and now it its asking me for and unlock code.

    I have an older version of photoshop and now it is asking me for an unlock code to view my pictures.. I did that years ago when I first started using it and have not had a problem. I am trying to get pics onto a flas drive or online photoshop and it is not letting me. Any one have any suggestions?

    Photoshop files and any image files are stored on your hard drive, not in the program. You can get to the files on your file manager just by searching.
    As for the "unlock code" that would most likely be the serial number. What version of Photoshop are you running? You would have to find the package it came in. If by chance you registered your copy with Adobe, it should be under your account.

    Hey terremo,
    Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like the iMac is successfully turning on, however video is not displayed. These symptoms can usually be isolated further by the troubleshooting steps in this article:

  • I have an old ipod. It worked great until about 2 months ago and now it says I need to restore my ipod but I can't unless I format it, but everytime I try, it says the format could not be completed. Is there anything else I can do to get it to work again?

    No app is required.                                               
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • When i tried to download iOS8 on my iPad Mini it told me that I needed to connect my iPad to iTunes, I have done that and now it says I need to restore my iPad. How can I get my iPad working without losing everything on my iPad?

    When i tried to download iOS8 on my iPad Mini it told me that I needed to connect my iPad to iTunes, I have done that and now it says I need to restore my iPad. How can I get my iPad working without losing everything on my iPad? I don't want to lose my apps and photos!
    Help would be much appreciated!

    If you are getting the connect to iTunes screen then it's too late to take a new backup and/or copy anything off it. Prior to starting the update did you take a backup, either to the cloud and/or to your computer's iTunes ? If not then have you recently taken a backup that might have your photos and apps content/settings in it ?
    As long as the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the App Store app (and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes), and if the apps store their content on a server/cloud service then you might be able to get their content back from that - if they store their content on the device then you will need to have a backup.
    For our photos you could try doing a search for programs that claim to be able to recover content from a device - I haven't used any so I can't suggest one.

  • I tried to upgrade the new version for i pad mini but when downloading it just went off and told me to connect it to i tunes, so i did and now it says i need to restore it. Does that mean I will lose everything in my i pad?

    I tried to upgrade the new version for i pad mini but when downloading it just went off and told me to connect it to i tunes, so i did and now it says i need to restore it. Does that mean I will lose everything in my i pad?

    In other words, the upgrade process did not go altogether well and the device has lost all its contents. When you plug it in, they will be restored from the backup.

  • I have an older version of flash player in my new computer and I can't uninstall it it is system 32 and I have system 64 I am not much of a computer person and need help I keep getting pop ups saying there is a bad image

    I have an older version of flash player that seems to be in my computer_16_0_0_305.exe and it says bad image
    I could not uninstall it and put a new one in. I keep getting this pop up 2 and 3 times.

    Hi,
    The Flash Player installer is a universal installer for both 32 and 64-bit systems.  On a 64-bit OS, it installs both versions, on a 32-bit OS, it installs only the 32-bit version.  I'm confused by why you think you only have the 32-bit version.  Please provide more information, including screenshots (How to post a screenshot in the forum) so that we may further troubleshoot your situation.
    Thank you.

  • I have a Thunderboldt 27" display which was working perfect and one day it didn't read anymore usb or any device attached to it. I have tried to many things with no success, including a clean mountain lion install... Is there any way I could reset the TB?

    I would like to know if there is a way to reset to factory settings a thunderbolt display?
    My display was working perfect until one day it didn't recognize anymore no one device attached to it and neither the sound and the camera work.
    I have done on my macbook pro late 2011 a mountain lion clean install and the problem persist!
    I would appreciate if any one could help me to resolve this problem!

    Thank you for your answer, I have done that and it was working for a while but after I shutdown and powered on again the problem came again... Perhaps is the conector cable, i will take the monitor to the technichians!....

  • This should not be this hard.  I have an older version of Photoshop with legitimate serial number.

    I just want to activate my copy of on my laptop.
    I was instructed to delete my version and download the version that needs no activation.
    NOW I cannot do that I am without my software program.
      My laptop is also an older version of design, but want to learn and use my Photoshop now.  How can I proceed.

    Windows 7
    and Photoshop CS  about 7 years old.
    Now learning photography and loaded my original software onto my laptop  (4 years old), and it would not activate.
    No phone activation allowed anymore.  Even though I have the case with all the legitimate serial numbers.
    The system left me up in the air, did what it suggested and did a delete of the older version.
    Now cannot get the version that needs no activation to accept my request to download.  What to do??
    PHEW as I said it should not be this hard.

  • I had to restart my computer and was asked to upgrade to 6.0.2. I now have no past history or old bookmarks. I needed the history and bookmarks for a project I was working on and now they are gone. I'm #?*! pissed. How do I get them back?

    I restarted my computer. After it rebooted I was asked to update firefox I did and it updated to 3.0 or something and it said update complete but it is out of date would you like to update to 6.0.2. I did and it updated again. When I got back online, I had no history or old bookmarks. History and bookmarks are there in the toolbar but when I click on them there is nothing from past history and no past bookmarks. I need them back

    Hey hey Christ1
    I think we are getting closer to this thing being solved...
    The Update --
    I have all my Mail in One of my accounts (work)....but not all the Mail in the other account (aka my Music account).....
    Both I've set up again..using your advice...and changed both now to IMAP..
    Originally after refreshing my laptop, when I set up Thunderbird....I used the POP settings.....and that's when I messed it up.....
    but using IMAP now....I've gotten more of my old emails .....in my INBOX.....not all.....but most....YIPPIE
    My SENT emails....in my Music account.....have all disappeared.......I've looked in both sent folders...in POP...and IMAP....and nothing is there...
    However my sent folder of my work account...I have SOME of the sent emails...
    Address books....Collected and Personal folders.....I have NO Email Addresses at all.
    Sooo now even though I am getting confident we will solve it.....I still have 4 accounts....aka...2 Work (POP and IMAP).....2 Music (POP and IMAP) until you tell me to delete or change one from each.....
    BOTH IMAP accounts.....do not show new messages...when they come in....however the POP shows it.....I did read that If I deleted the POP to change to IMAP I will not be able to get emails.....sooo not sure what to do about that issue now....
    Is there an "automatic" backup feature for Thunderbird...?? All this could have been soo prevented if I did that....sheesh...
    anyway..thanks so far.... :)

  • I have an HP 3050A wireless printer that was working fine and now all of a sudden it doesn't print.

    My HP 3050A wireless printer has stopped printing. I have restarted both my computer and the printer and it still didn't work. I deleted the printer from my printer list and then restarted everything again and now it doesn't even find the printer. What am I doing wrong? My computer is a new Mac. Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    Can you see the wireless light on the printer as Solid blue or is the lighe blinking?
    If the light blinks, it means that the printer has disconnected from the network.
    In order to reconfigure it - temporary connect the printer with USB, launch the HP Setup Assistsant (Located under Applications > Hewlett-Packard > Device Utilities) and follow the steps to reconfigure the wireless connection.

  • I restored my iphone and now it says it needs a sim card and i do not have one

    I restore my iphone 4 and i do not have the sim card, after i restored it, it made everything restart like when you first get the phone like when your setting it up and it keeps asking for my sim card but i dont have it, how can i skip this?

    If it's an unlocked phone, any SIM will do. It doesn't even have to be tied to an active line of service. It just has to be a valid SIM.  If it's carrier locked, it must be from the correct carrier.
