I just bought Photoshop on Ebay and I am wondering how to tell if the installation CD is authentic/legitimate.
How do I tell if my software is an authentic Adobe product?

It's not the software that you need to be concerned with, but the serial number.
Unless, of course, it is a pirated/cracked copy, and they've loaded some malware in there with everything else.
Other questions and points for the OP:
- What version of Photoshop is it supposed to be? Newer versions (CS6/CC/CC2014) do not have a legitimate a disk version (at least, I don't think CS6 has one). They are download only.
- Even if it is a legit version, if it has ever been used and registered, the original owner will need to transfer the license to you through Adobe for you to legally own it.

Hi! I just bought a new iPhone and I was wondering how i can make sure all my pictures and music will be transfered from my old iPhone to my new one?
Pictures are held in the iPhone backup. If you backup the old device just prior to the activation of the new one, then restore from that backup, the photos will be there. Music is in iTunes on the computer and when you do the restore, it will download the music from iTunes to the device during the restore. Make sure any music purchased on the iPhone that has not been transfered to iTunes on the computer is done before beginning the restore.

I just bought a new desktop and will be taking my old one to the apple store tomorrow to have the data transferred. Does the transfer include the transfer of programs or just data?
They will simply use Migration Assistant to transfer your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences. This is something you could do yourself. You would need a Firewire cable to connect between your old computer and your new one. Migration Assistant is installed in the Utilities folder of your new computer.
See Transferring files between two computers using FireWire and How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac. -
I just bought a 5S Iphone and will be retiring my Iphone 4. The music copied from Itunes to my new phone, but the apps did not. How do I get the apps to copy to my new Iphone?
The same way they were put on the previous iPhone, sync them.
Alternatively, read the article from which the question was posted and follow the explicit instructions provided. -

Tunes: 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. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases. -

Try restarting all devices including portable iOS ones and your router.
Check Airplay is not disabled in AppleTVs settings.

I just bought an iPhone 4s and synched it yesterday. I backed up the old phone (a 3GS), then restored all those files to the 4S. It generally worked well, except all SMS messages after October 20 were not there. How do I get the newest messages from the old phone on the new phone? (I wouldn't mind getting ALL the SMS messages...)
Thanks for any help.
Arthur in VABasics from the manual are restrt, reset, restore.

I just bought my apple tv and it says that it can't set the date and time? How do i fix this?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
A number of users have encountered this problem, for existing users the problem has largely been resolved by restarting the Apple TV. However since you are a new user it would be wise to check that your settings are correct to begin with. Ensure the router allows access over port 123 (TCP) and that you are using the DNS settings provided by the ISP and not your own. -
I have multiple users on my Mac and I was wondering how you tell the system to retain all the user names so they don't have to enter their email addresses every time ???
Email addresses into what?
Each user should have their own account and password to log in. Each is independent of the other. So for Mail each has their own Mail account if they set one up in Mail.
That's the way it should be set up. Are you using a single account and allowing multiple users to use that one single account? If so then in Mail at least you could set up individual mail accounts. But everything else in the system is shared. -
I bought the bundle with adobe photoshop elements 12 and adobe premiere elements 12 for my new MacBook Air. I was told that not having a CD drive wouldn't be a problem for the download, but I can't figure out how to download them without being able to use the CDs from the package. I was told I can download Photoshop and enter the product key but its not working for me since I have no idea what I should be doing, please help!
Thanks!Hi,
Please download Photoshop & Premiere Elements Trial from this LINK:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads.html

Thanks -

Restore your media from your backup that you keep of your media and other important files.

I just bought an iMac G5 with iSight. How do I wipe the hard drive and set it up as a new iMac
Boot from your Mac OS X installer DVD. After selecting a language, choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
When Disk Utility launches, use the "Zero Out Data" option under the Erase tab. Erase the entire disk, not only the free space.
One pass of zeros is secure enough for normal use. One pass will take a couple of hours, so plan some time.
