I need to de-authorize my old computer - had to buy a new one today because the old one got wet...I can't see the old screen - but can't use the new one until I can deauthorize the old one...is this a catch 22?
How do I de-authrorize an old computer? I can't access it because it got wet...I can't activate the new one until I deauthroize the old one...seems like a chicken and egg thing...?
Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

cannot connect my ipad with my laptop
Thanks, this helped. THere was a new version of iTunes I downloaded to my PC and now the iPad is recognized.
The problem now is that I get the message that I cannot backup my iPad as my PC is not authorised, even though when I click to authorize it says my PC is already authorized.
I will click through the forum to see if there is an answert to this. -
I have to install Photoshop CS4 extended on a new computer from a disk because my old computer had a hard drive crash. There is no serial number on the back of the case. How can I obtain a usable serial number?
Find your serial number quickly
You can activate software without following up and registering it... at least that was the case in the past. The serial number is normally located on the disc case or a box inside the main box. If you did not purchase the disc from Adobe then it is possible you would have dealt with a redemption code, in which case it would have been up to you to keep a record of the serial number, especially if you did not follow up and register the software. -
My old computer had itunes and downloaded songs that I put on my ipod. Well, my old computer got replaced years ago without saving hard drive info or passwords and my iPod burnt out years ago and will not activate. I now have a new computer and iPod and I have an iTunes account on my iPhone5. How can I get access to my old songs on new computer? Are they lost for good? I have no info about my old computer and old account.

I have purchased an new computer with the Windows 8.1 OS. The old computer had Windows Vista and is just about to quit working altogether. I wish to uninstall it on that computer and deactivate it; so that I may install the software that I purchased (some years ago, but hardly used) on my new computer. Is that allowed and do I have the right idea about doing it? I have the serial number
and all that with the software.Download CS3 products

I bought the photoshop install online and I put it on my laptop. But now I have a new and better computer for photo and video but I can not figure out how to reinstall my photoshop on this new computer. When I bought it, they said I would be able to install it on 2 different computers. PS they are both PC computers.

Photoshop cs6 with OS X Yosemite, I open a new layer and i paint on it but if I use cmd Z it does not undo fluently the most of the time.
Grab the plug-in posted here: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-menus-turn-white-mac.html

No sound for incoming calls but it works using speaker and earpiece. I can't hear anything but the other party can hear me clearly. I was told it's hardware problem. Would anyone please help me? Thanks
This is an annoying problem for many people. Most likely your dock connector (on the bottom where you plug in your phone) is dirty or screwed up and is probably just coincidence that it happened after you updated. Some people have had success cleaning the port with a dry clean tooth brush. There is a long discussion going on at the thread I linked below. Good luck...
