Installing CS3 on a Computer that is pre-installed with CS4

I purchased a laptop that is licensed to pre-load CS4 Master suite. I receive no cd or serial number or anything. I called Adobe to make sure that this was legal and was told that Adobe does do this with big sellers. Anyway I received the first laptop and did a migration and because I have other CS versions on my computer the license for the CS4 disappeared. I sent the computer back and I now have another. I am teaching at two different schools and still need my CS3. Adobe advised me to not install CS3 because they share some folders or something. Is there a way to install CS3 without ruining CS4?

never heard of preinstalled Adobe software
to install CS3 you must uninstall CS4 then install CS3 then reinstall CS4.
CS3 and CS4 both coexist together.

The computer that I original used with my ipod touch is dead, so I am now synching and backing up to a new computer. I had to restore the software to this ipod. I can drop and drag my tunes back into the ipod, but not my apps.

The computer that I originally used with my ipod touch is dead, so I am now synching with another computer. I had to restore the software of the ipod, I am able to drop and drag my tunes back to the ipod but not my purchased apps. I have no problem doing this with other ipods that I have synced and backed up to this computer.

Computer that was originally synced with Apple TV has crashed

the computer that was originally synced with apple tv has crashed, but the photos and music that was loaded, i don't want to lose them. Is there a way to recover it to my other computer or its just stuck on apple tv until deleted.
In itunes also my apple tv only shows wo tabs, Summary and photos, what happen to the rest of the tabs ?

There is no option of getting content off the AppleTV, it is not a back up storage device. Sorry.
Since you did not make backups, only real option is to void your warranty and open the ATV, remove drive, connect to computer, copy off.
As for only two tabs, it is because you have setup your new computer (drive) as a steaming computer not a computer to sync with. If you change to make it a syncing computer (like you use to have) the ATV will erase all content right then as you can only sync with ONE computer and it is looking for your old one.

Pixel Bender did not install with CS4 on Win7 64. Downloaded toolkit, message "installer failed to initialize"

Pixel Bender did not install with CS4 on Win7 64. Downloaded toolkit, message "installer failed to initialize"
What should I try next?
Thank you, and happy Holidays!

What I had installed was CS4 Desin Premium on Win7 64 bit. Pixel bender seems to be installed, but nothing happens when I launch and it doesn't show in Photoshop 32 or 64...
Thanks

New iPod + account not showing up on a computer that was previously used with a DIFFERENT iPod and account

I'm very new to all things Apple, but not a computer/tech newbie...it's just that all my experience and knowledge has been aquired with Windows and Android. I received an iPod Touch 5th gen as a Xmas gift, and I'm (mostly) enjoying it...but I've hit the following problem:
About a year ago, a friend used iTunes on my computer (WinXP Pro) using HIS account/Apple ID, and connected HIS iPod to my PC to "sync" (I'm not sure what he was trying to accomplish, but my computer and his iPod were definitely conected via cable). He no longer needs to use my computer to access iTunes.
So, now I want to use MY iPod and iTunes account with the same computer that he used. My friend and I "authorized" my computer using my Apple ID, DE-authorized it using his, we signed him out, signed me in, (not necessarily n that order, heheh). BUT... in my iTunes library still show HIS apps, HIS books, and his iTunes-U courses. None of my apps/books/courses etc. appear in iTunes on my computer. (They ARE all on my iPod). I tried un-installing iTunes and re-installing the latest version, and that did not solve the problem.
I have heard or read, somewhere, that if I connect my iPod to a compter that has someone else's iTunes account on it, my iPod could be un-intentionally "sync'd" to that persons account, and I would lose my apps/music/etc and wind up with the other persons "stuff" on my device (I'm sure there are some subtleties to that that I'm clueless about). My hunch is that the solution lies somewhere in connecting MY new iPod to my computer, but I'm afraid of losing what I've already put on my iPod and/or messing up my friend's devices.
I appreciated you taking the time to read this; I'm hopeful the solution is simple...thanks!

Hi lllaass, thanks for your reply. Here are my results, and related follow-up questions, so far:
lllaass wrote:
- Make sure your computer is authorized for your iTunes account.
OK, done, AND DE-authorized for his account (tried this even before I posted).
lllaass wrote:
- You said your friend no longer uses your computer. Therefore just delete his media *apps, music etc) for the computer
When I highlight one of his apps (for example) and select DELETE, a pop-up window opens, warning me that the app will ALSO be deleted from any device "which syncronizes with your iTunes library". How can I be certain that this is not affecting his stuff? Is that ONLY possible if he connects one of his devices to my computer via cable? Is there NO chance that it happens via wi-fi (we share the same wi-fi connection regularly), or even via the cloud?
lllaass wrote:
- Redownlod your media to your iTunes library.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I followed the instructions in the link above (computer authorized, signed in under my account, & "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" enabled in iTunes preferences by going to iTunes > Preferences under the Store tab). However, none of MY "purchases" (all free apps, books, etc, so far) show up in the library...only my friend's. For what it's worth, when I try to open any of his books, a pop-up opens telling me that the book "can't be viewed using this computer. You can view this book using iBooks on your iOS device".
Illaass wrote:
-Then just sync to as necessary to your iPod.
- However, yo may have to backup the iPod to your computer and restore from that backup if the iPod sees the computer/library as a new iTunes library. The instructions are here:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
With iTunes 11 you may have to do a Control+B to show the Menu bar and a Control+S to show the Sidebar.
I have not tried these steps, given the status of the situation being unchanged so far.
Thanks again Illaass, hopefully there is another approach to try.

Why can't I buy a movie that I pre-ordered, with the iTunes card already redeemed?

See, I bought an iTunes card the other day and redeemed it that same day. After doing so, I pre-ordered a movie that was expected to be released on the 18th of March(today). So I tried to purchase the movie I pre-ordered with the credit I redeemed from the iTunes card, but it is asking for my billing information. So I clicked on the link where it says "To redeem code, click here", and it asked me to enter a code. My concern is why can't I buy that movie I pre-ordered with I the money I have in my iTunes account?

You didn't purchase the movie, you pre-ordered it. So the code works to put in the pre-order for the movie. So it's on hold, so to speak. Then when the movie comes out (and only then) are you actually billed, so you have to enter the code again in case you or someone else who has access to your computer used some -- perhaps too much of the credit in the meantime.
If I use a regular credit card and pre-order something, oftentimes there is some kind of perk or extra included along with it for me in return for pre-ordering. Like an extra feature for example. I don't actually get billed until I actually get the movie and so it's kinda like that.
Did you lose the code?
If you did, I'm sorry, but you could call Apple & hopefully they will make things right.
You could go here to get the ball rolling > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

HT1218 i have a windows 8 computer that is not connecting with my time capsule wifi. my other macs and windows 7 systems do connect. is this a firmware update glitch? any suggestions?

I have a windows 8 computer that is connecting poorly via wifi and my Apple time capsule to the internet. My IMac an another windows 7 based computer are connecting fine. This started 6 days ago. And, the windows 8 machine connects well via a hard Cat-5 connection to the time capsule (I'm using that now) and worked well on a wireless netgrear system over the weekend.
I'm thinking an automatic firmware update may have caused this or perhaps i need the time capsule to use something other than a default address. Those are just guesses, but I could sure use some help. Thank you.

It is hard to figure where the issue is..
Certainly if windows updated the wireless driver that can mess things up no end..
What update happened 6days ago?
What TC do you have.. ?? If it is flat one and you updated to 7.6.4 do a factory reset and reconfigure.
If that doesn't work roll the firmware back to 7.6.1 or even 7.5.2 as these are generally superior to windows.
There is no update for TC gen5 yet.

I don't want to have firefox 4. I want to go back to firefox 3. How do I do that? I have a program that I use on my computer that is not compatibale with firefox 4 and is with firefox 3.

I use a program called Digital Persona Personal. It stopped working when Firefox updated from 3 to 4. I have tried everything to get it to work. I went to the website of Digital Persona and asked for help but they said that there is no fix for this and they no longer work with clientele like us only business's now. I really need to use this program as I have a very bad memory problem and don't remember usernames and passwords very well. That is why I have a computer with a fingerprint reader. So, you see I really need your help in going back to Firefox 3.

You're welcome

HT1296 Is there a way to import photos from an iPad to a computer, that were originally synced with iTunes?

I recently had to reformat my computer, and unbeknowst to me, i only made a short cut to my directory, not a full copy.
Now my only copies of rather important images are on my ipad, however I am unable to download them as they were synced using iTunes originally. I've tried everything i could think of, including viewing hidden folders.
I really need these photos, I even tried sending them to myself via photostream, but I can only view. not save.
Please, if anyone has any advice I'd be forever greatful.

There are third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy them back via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer e.g. their resolution may have changed, colourse may look different etc

How do I change the computer that my Ipad2 syncs with?

Photoshop not installed with CS4...

Hi, I just installed CS4, and everything was installed except Photoshop.
I've searched my computer for it without any luck.
If no one knows what to do, can someone post the Tech Support number please?

I'm running Snow Leopard on a Mac Pro and I had the same problem... Also, other items appear to not have been installed too... like Flash, Ilustrator and one other item... I noticed that my Student Edition (Master Collection) had a copyright date of 2008 so maybe this is part of the problem....
Is it possible to get new installers from Adobe?
Is there one place to go within CS4 to get everything updated?
Oh, I noticed that AfterEffects does not launch... I'm thinking that it just needs to be updated to something beyond the .0 release to work with Snow--thoughts?
If I choose to re-install on the same computer by first uninstalling.... do I need to deactivate the serial number?
Also, can I install CS4 on my MacBook Pro using the same license? I would never be using both simultaneously. I think Apple allows this with Final Cut Studio.
Thanks,
Robert

Dreamweaver didn't install with CS4 programs (web premium)?

I recently installed CS4 web premium, and noticed that dreamweaver was not an option to install on the initial installation, and it was not loaded onto my computer at all. The only sign of it is a DW alias that is an uninstall but there is not DW to remove?
Has anyone had tis problem? Should I uninstall everything and retry?
Thanks for your help!!

Thank you so much David! I didn't even remember I had downloaded the trial version a while back. I was able to follow the Cleanscript instructions after uninstalling CS4. Then it worked perfectly to reinstall
Thanks again! I had tried contacting customer service via phone and support portal, and was not helped much at all.

CS6 installed with CS4

I have been using cs4 for a few years. Just received CS6.
Asked rep whether best to uninstall cs4 before installing cs6. He recommended not to uninstall 4, because cs6 would recognize the older program and could actually use some of my older settings (such as Dreamweaver preferences, sites, etc) for the cs6. Said to have my cs4 SN ready to verify.
When did the cs6, it was a clean install but no reference at all to my older cs4.
Now, I have both cs6 and cs4 on computer.
Just talked with support and they said there was no problem with having both versions. Also, if didn't want to have both, I could do a total uninstall of cs4 and that would NOT cause any problems with the cs6.
I guess my question is to verify that there is no problem with having both versions. AND that there would be no problems to the cs6 if I do do an unstall of the old cs4.
Also, wondering if any practical advice on best way for me to proceed. I have Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium; and CS4 Web Premium.
Main programs I use are Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Flash.
Appreciate any help, suggestions, etc.
Thanks!
Keith

Many people keep both on. CS 4 for old projects and CS 6 for new. Many people have more than two versions on their system so they can work with other people that only have one version to work with.

My computer that has iTunes on it crashed and I plugged my iPod Touch into it after it had crashed. Now it says it needs to be connected to iTunes.

After my computer with iTunes on crashed I plugged my iPod Touch into the computer. It then said that it needs to be connected to iTunes but i can't connect it as the computer deleted iTunes and doesn't work. Please help.

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
