I purchased and downloaded Lightroom 5.5. After installing it, I was prompted for the serial number. When I entered it an error message appeared saying it was an upgrade serial number and I need to enter my original purchase number. This was my original purchase, not an upgrade. Now what do I do?

It sounds like you bought an upgrade from Adobe. How much did you pay? The upgrade is about $80, and the non-upgrade is about $150. If you bought an upgrade version and had no previous version, you would see what you're seeing.
If that is the case and I were you, I'd call Adobe, and arrange for a refund and to order the correct version.

  • I just purchased Adobe Lightroom 5 and can't activate it after installing it on my computer because the product box doesn't contain a 24 digit S/N serial number but an 8 digit PN number. Does anyone have a solution?

    I just purchased Adobe Lightroom 5 and can't activate it after installing it on my computer because the product box doesn't contain a 24 digit S/N serial number but an 8 digit PNB number. I contacted the vendor and they told me to seek help via the Adobe help lines. Does anyone have a solution?

    Unfortunately, the "find your serial number quickly" link does not work because I don't have any number on my Lightroom cdrom box with 24 digits... All I have is an 8 digit PN number... :-/

  • I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder.

    I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder."
    I have tried a few things but iTunes closes right after i click okay. Anyone know anything?

    Look in your Home > Music folder.  There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl  You want to guide iTunes to that file.  If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.

    A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

  • HT1725 In a download of an entire album, one song download was interrupted.  I have followed the instructions for resuming the download, but each time I attempt to resume the download the same error message appears saying the download was interrupted. Ans

    While downloading an album in from the Store, one song was interrupted.  I have followed the instructions from apple about resuming the download, but every time I do so the same error message appears saying the download was interrupted.  I am having no connection problems, have rebooted my computer, downloaded the lates version of iTunes, etc., yet nothing changes.  Has anyone else experienced this, and are there any workarounds.  Sadly the problem hit on one of the best songs of the album.

    I had the same problem so (assuming under the Purchased items in the Store you have a song stuck at 'Downloading'):
    I went to Music, then Artists.
    From there I chose the album.
    The song that failed to download had the cloud symbol next to it.
    I clicked the cloud symbol and the song completed the download for me.
    (Please note this was in iTunes for Windows - I expect it to be similar in iTunes for Apple)

    If you get a network timed out error, try disabling the security software on the computer during the download and install.
    You can also try a direct download andinstall by:

    macbook froze while online. hard shutdown. when it restarted, an error message appeared saying finder shut down unexpectedly containing a message box with a long list of technical jibberish.  after clicking OK that it would send an error report to Apple, the same error message box appeared again and again every time OK was clicked.  Now the macbook will not turn on at all

    If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
    If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.

  • When trying to add music to a slide show from my PC to TV through Apple Tv the photos are fine but I get an error message that says the music cannot be downloaded.

    When trying to add music to a slide show from my PC to TV through Apple Tv the photos are fine but I get an error message that says the music cannot be downloaded.

    Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive.  If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
    You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
    Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
    -Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
    -Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down.  You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
    -Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes.  Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked.  You can close Preferences now.
    -Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library.  iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
    Shouldn't have any more problems...

  • When I tried to download the new version of firefox I get an error message that says "you computer must be restarted to complete an earlier upgrade" when I restart it says the same thing. I cannot use firefox at all at the moment.

    When I tried to download the new version of firefox I get an error message that says "your computer must be restarted to complete an earlier upgrade" when I restart it says the same thing. I cannot use firefox at all at the moment. When I try to uninstall in the control panel, the same message pops up.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • Bunch of ERRORS after installing SAP BPC 5.1 for the first time

    Hi guys
    Our basis guy is installing SAP BPC 5.1 for the first time. After the installation, I can get into SAP BPC - Administration screen but I get a lot of errors when I try to do some changes. Some of them are -
    1. Whenever I try getting into the SAP BPC administration I get the following error. But when I click OK it gets me to the administration screen but after that Hell breaks loose
        Error on uncompressing file: Error : ActiveX component can't create object.
    2. Create dimensions -
        Split File Error
    3. Delete dimensions -
       OLAPConnect Error - The Database with ID = 'ApShell' doesn't exist in the collection
    4. BPC for Excel (I am logging in as a system admin)
        The dimension information file cannot be created. There may be a network or security issue.
        Error Message: InitCatalog:Either the user does not have access to the ApShell database, or the database does not exist.
    I am sure I will get a lot of errors once I start playing with the configuration.
    Please comment.
    Thanks,
    Ameya Kulkarni

    Hi Ameya Kulkarni,
    I sorry I wrong type something,
    1. Whenever I try getting into the SAP BPC administration I get the following error. But when I click OK it gets me to the administration screen but after that Hell breaks loose
    Error on uncompressing file: Error : ActiveX component can't create object.
    ==>
    You should do this step such as:
    1. copy file "XceedZip.dll" into the directory SAP BPC
    2. register that file into the register window using sintaks: "regsvr32"
    3. If the successfully message box appears, You should open the MS.Excel or SAP BPC administration
    2. Create dimensions -
    Split File Error
    ==>
    You should check the database your application in MS.SQL first please.Perhaps, It's does not open and retrieve data.
    3. Delete dimensions -
    OLAPConnect Error - The Database with ID = 'ApShell' doesn't exist in the collection
    ==>
    You should check the database your application in MS.SQL first please.Perhaps, It's does not open and retrieve data.
    4. BPC for Excel (I am logging in as a system admin)
    The dimension information file cannot be created. There may be a network or security issue.
    Error Message: InitCatalog:Either the user does not have access to the ApShell database, or the database does not exist.
    ==>
    You must solve the problem no.2&3 because you should add new user through SAP BPC Administration for the application.
    I wish My Suggestion can help you.

  • I received a gift card and when I redeemed it an error message said that I had some itunes files missing and that I needed to reinstall itunes.  Will I still have all my credits when I download itunes?

    I received an online gift card for Father's Day.  When I tried to redeem the gift then I received a error message saying I had some itune files missing and I needed to reinstall/download itunes.  Will I still have my previous purchase credits after downloading and reistalling itunes? 

    You will, because the credited funds are on your iTunes account, not the application. When you reinstall iTunes just configure it with your old iTunes account and your credits will be there waiting for you.
