I think I installed a pirated copy of CS5.1 Extended and now my purchased Elements 10 don't work!

So yeah, that's right. I admitted to a crime. Wanna fight about it?
I didn't know that it wasn't a legitimate copy. So now my purchased copies for Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premier Elements 10 don't work! I tried restoring to a previous point, using a forced uninstall program that cleans the registry. I uninstalled my Elements copies, and when I reinstall them they don't show up in the start menu. I tried using the Adobe cleaner tool. I really do not want to use my restore DVD's for this laptop.
Help!
I can provide the Serial Numbers, and the codes on the DVD's put on the clear ring of the DVD, a copy of the purchase...etc.

Windows 7 64 bit home premium, ASUS A53 Core i5 processor, NVIDIA 610M
Actually it is relevant, because there is an activation program that generates a serial number.

  • I installed Firefox5 and now mt plug ins don't work. I want to go back to FF4 - how can i do this?

    I use property bee and the valuations tool bar all the time. When I upgrade to Firefox 5 I did not realise that these would no longer work. I need these so i want to go back to the previous version of firefox - it worked just fine! how can i do this?

    If they worked in Firefox 4, there's a really good chance they will still work in Firefox 5.
    Extensions for Firefox include a list of compatible Firefox versions. You can ''ignore'' add-on version restrictions by (what else) installing an add-on. Then you can test whether the add-ons important to you actually work in Firefox 5.
    [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter :: Add-ons for Firefox]
    Please report back on your results.
    Oh, and due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended.

  • Installed OSX 10.6.8 on iMac and now I have two icons in my dock for time machine and can't access either one.  I don't think it is backing up to time capsule either.  Anyone else have this issue?

    I installed OSX 10.6.8 on iMac and now I have two icons for time machine in my dock.  When I try to access either one the wheel goes round and round.  I seem to have lost all back ups that were on Time Capsule.  Not sure how to check or what to do.  Thanks.

    See what happens if you select the TM icon in your menubar, and select Enter Time Machine there.
    If that doesn't help, try the things in #E4 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting

  • I installed iTunes 10.5.3.3 and now my DVD player won't work.

    I installed iTunes 10.5.3.3 and now my DVD player won't work and has this error:
    This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
    Any ideas why iTunes renders my DVD drive unusable?  I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and when reinstalling I had my device manager open and saw during the installation how my DVD player went from accessible to not being able to start.
    Why is this happening? 
    Here is my computer information:
    Dell
    Latitude D630
    Intel Core  Duo CPU T770 @2.40 Hz
    4.00 GB RAM
    32-bit Operating System
    Thank you,
    Kelly

    There's a few different possibilities with a code 10, Kelly. To narrow in on the likeliest culprits it would help to have a closer look at your system.
    Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
    In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
    ... and click "Next".
    When you get through to the final screen:
    ... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

  • I installed Lion and now my MS office will not work, is there a way to revert back my original software?

    I installed Lion and now my MS office will not work, is there a way to revert back my original software?

    Back to Snow Leopard from Lion install method
    Read and print out these instructions, your computer is going to be offline and you wil be cutoff from help until your machine is restored.
    Clear the Desktop, Downloads and Trash of anything you wish to keep by placing their files in the respective Documents, Music, Pictures, Movie folders.
    If you have a TimeMachine drive, update it and disconnect for the duration of this restore time. It will be your second backup system and will have to be wiped and setup again after successfully going back to Snow Leopard if it was connected to the OS X 10.7 boot drive. If it wasn't, then leave it disconnected without updating to Lion.
    Backup ALL your Users folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music etc) manually (drag and drop methods) to a (not TimeMachine) external powered drive (HFS+ journaled formatted in Disk Utility) and disconnect, your going to be wiping the entire disk of ALL DATA. (warning, everything will be gone and not recovered)
    Here we go!
    Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk that comes with your computer and second screen in just STOP.
    Look at the Utilities Menu for Disk Utility.
    On the left is the name of your hard drive maker, click it and Erase (format HFS+ Journaled), give it the same name as before, and click Erase...
    This should wipe the drive of ALL partitions (GUID, OS X and 10.7 Recovery, Windows if present)
    When it's done, quit and install OS X 10.6. Then install all your programs from fresh sources and validate/update.
    When you setup a first account, use the same user name as before, this way you can simply drag and drop the content of your previous Users folders from the external drive right back into the new Users folders and everything should work peachy. Links in iTunes to music, playlists and iPhoto links especially.
    Update OS X to 10.6.8 using the Combo Update for best results.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    (Note: If your original machine had 10.5 and you want the free iLife that comes with the disks with the computer, then you'll have to install 10.5 first using the same c boot/erase/format methods as above, then update to 10.6 via the disk, then Combo Update 10.6.8)
    Final step optional but highly receommended.
    A lot of people use a Carbon Copy Clone of their boot drive to a HFS+Journaled external drive as a "hold the option key" bootable backup in case something goes wrong with their boot drive or need to restore to a previous OS X version..  (in addition to TimeMachine drive for more immediate backups.)
    It's not advised to have a Bootable Clone and a TimeMachine partition on the same external drive, as two drives gives hardware protection in case one fails.

  • Installed itunes update 10.5.0.142 and now get the error message "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" when trying to burn playlist to disc.

    Installed itunes update 10.5.0.142 and now get the error message "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" when trying to burn playlist to disc.  Windows 7

    Hello queenabs,
    It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting the error, "disc burner or software not found."  I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
    I recommend starting with the steps in this article:
    iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
    If you are still having trouble with burning a disc after following the steps in that article, I recommend following the steps in this article:

  • Hi, i think i erased the utility folder of my macbook and now every time i try to open it the computer just freezes...? help!

    hi, i think i erased the utility folder of my macbook and now every time i try to open it the computer just freezes...? help!

    Hi
    This sounds like a job for Disk Utility ... but that's located in the Utilities folder ....
    Fortunately, there's a spare copy of Disk Utility on the setup disks you should have received with your computer.  You need to boot the computer from the setup disk, then find Disk Utility. Inside Disk Utility, "mount" your hard drive and run Repair Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Good luck

  • I just installed Maverick to my imacG5 and now my Office 2004 doesn't work??

    I just installed Maverick to my imacG5 and now my Office 2004 doesn't work?? Where do I go from here??
    Thanks.

    You have given us inaccurate info about your iMac.
    The G5 iMac is all white and runs a IBM Power PC (non-Intel)  CPU that cannot run any OS X version above OS X 10.5.8.
    OS X 10.6- 10.9 all run on much newer Intel CPU iMacs that have aluminum enclosures.
    Typically, mid-2007 models and later.
    The iMac model you described can't possibly run OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
    Please download, install and run Etrecheck.
    Etrecheck is a small, unobstrusive app that compiles a snapshot of your entire Mac hardware system and all installed software.
    http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
    Copy/paste and post its report here in another reply thread so that we have a complete profile of your Mac's hardware and installed software so we have accurate information about IMac to help both you and us begin to troubleshoot and solve the performance and technical issues with your Mac running OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
    Thank You.

    As an overworked professional, I simply have to consider the very viable options out there. Never thought I'd be seriously considering a Cubase product.
    It's a Steinberg product, not a Cubase product.. in case you haven't been paying attention Steinberg developed the virtual instrument for use in it's programs way back in Cubase 3.55.. the plethora of virtual instruments and the advent of low-latency drivers can be directly traced to Steinberg/Cubase development.. Logic also borrowed Cubase's arrange page format back in the 1980's. Cubase has borrowed from Logic to be sure but Steinberg has long been an innovator for many of the things we take for granted today. It was Logic/Emagic who licensed the VST technology and ASIO low latency format to use in Logic 4.xx. It was Apple who adapted VST to it's own AU format. Also, Cubase and Nuendo have undergone a lot more innovation over the past three years, Yamaha has been good as a parent company. Cubase is not Nuendo's little brother by the way, they are very close, same exact audio engine, same robustness, they can exchange files, the only difference being Cubase doesn't have some of the high end post features that Nuendo has. I use both Cubase and Logic and occasionally Nuendo at the University here.. I know both programs fairly well, believe me, both Cubase 6 and 7 can hold their own with any DAW out there, they just don't come with a bunch of ready made loops and preset instruments.
    LogicX will never be able to use 32-bit instruments without a third party solution, nor will it ever include the Bridge. At least according to the people I know.

    I recently installed a trail version of a software and now to install the full version i have to delete the trail completely from my mac. How do I do that?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If the new version has an uninstaller run it first. Othewise with Mac OS drag the app to the trash and empty the trash. Do an install if a dialog box asks if you want to replace or keep files with similar names choose replace.

    What is a error message and what do you see when it appears?
    Haven't much problem with Airs around here, since they have a SSD they tend to be more reliable.
    Perhaps it was a bad update, have you ran through this list of possible fixes?
    Do as many as possible, starting with #1. Until the problem is resolved.
    Use the boot 10.6 USB instead of the disk of course.

    I own photoshop cs5 extended but now have win8.  can i upgrade to cc at reduced price to cc or do i need to purchase it at full price? I don't need cloud but will use the pc for install.

    There is no such thing as a "pay once, use forever CC". It's strictly a subscription model that you can use as long as you pay for it. Your CS5 will give you a discount for the first year.
