Installing Photoshop on a new laptop question

I am not sure how Creative Cloud works differently then the desktop version when it comes to changing computers. I know on the desktop version we needed to deactivate in order to install on a new computer. I am buying a new laptop and have the basic photoshop creative cloud subscription. Do I simply unintall on the old laptop or do I still have to somehow deactivate the program on the old laptop before I install on my new one.

You don't need to have access to the system to activate on a new system with CC.
You can install on as many systems as you like. I have 5 systems at any given time between home, work/testing machines. You can activate and use CC simultaneously on two of those systems at a time. (e.g. retouching on one system and running batch actions/scripts on another)
Roaming activation lets you log into any of the your systems to start using them. When you log and encounter that you're signed in and activated on two other systems, you will be asked if you want to deactivate the other systems so you can sign-in and start using the current system immediately. This eliminates lost activations from dead systems or systems you don't have ready access to.
Cross platform licenses and roaming activation are both new features of Creative Cloud which hopefully adds a level of convenience not available before.

Problems installing Photoshop CS6 on New Laptop

My old laptop had a hard drive crash and is dead. I bought a new laptop yesterday (windows 8.1) and downloaded cs6, which I had installed on the old laptop. When I enter my serial number, a message says that no version of photoshop was found on my computer (which is true, it's a new computer). How do I get up and running again with cs6 on my new laptop. Thanks!

Have you tried pressing the return key? Which Mac laptop are you using? What are the settings you see under Resolution in the Display preference pane?

Installing a used photoshop to a new laptop

my previous laptop broke and I want to download my photoshop onto my new laptop so I can still use it. What do I do?

Ava,
Installation rules will let you install the software on two computers. If you have only installed it once, you should be able to install it on the other computer. If you have already installed the software twice and you don't have access to your previous computer or you upgraded your computer's hardware, replace a hard drive, upgraded your operating system, or reformatted your drive before deactivating your software, you can ask Adobe Support to help you deactivate the software from the machine. Just have your serial number or Adobe ID ready, and then contact support. Then you can install the software from the links above and enter your serial number to re-activate the software.
If you need to find your serial number, sign in to your Adobe account. On the Manage Accounts page that appears, all of your registered products and their serial numbers are listed in the Plans & Products section. For more information on locating serial numbers, or on registering a serial number, please see Find a serial number.

How do I transfer my photoshop to a new laptop with no disc drive?

I need to transfer my CS6 upgrade and, I assume, my original CS5 Windows versions of Photoshop to my new laptop that has no disc drive. This feature takeaway is increasingly common in new laptops, so I thought this would be an easy search, but I got nothing. Anyone out there know a practical way that doesn't involve ripping a disc? If ripping a disc is my only option, then what is the easiest and cheapest way to do that?

I find it hard to believe that your new laptop has no disk drive. I can not believe it boots off some network device. It is quit normal to download or copy Photoshop installation files to a Laptops internal hard disk or ssd using an external DVD or network shared. Then install Photoshop from the copied or downloaded installation files. I haven't installed Photoshop from CD or DVD in many years. Normally you do not need to copy prior versions of Photoshop to do an upgrade. You will need to be able to enter your upgrade eligible version of Photoshop serial number.
I think the idea of network computers without disk drives went out vogue many years ago it was a concept that never took off.

How do I install Photoshop on my new computer?

My old computer broke and I bought a new laptop. When I tried to install Photoshop on my new computer, I got an error message because it had been registered to my old computer. Can you help me with the installation on my new computer?

You need to contact Adobe Customer Support to reset your activation count.

When ever i try to install photoshop cc on my laptop i keep getting this error "We've encountered the following issues installer failed to initialize. Please download adobe support advisor to detect the problem."

start at the top and work your way down applying applicable fixes until your problem is resolved.
if cc (win): https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-application-failed.html
if, your error is:
"Installer failed to initialize. File not found." or "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to missing files."
first, rename OOBE Folder to OOBE.old.
to find OOBE:
64 bit win OS: Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
32 bit win OS: Program Files \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
mac os: HD>library>application support>adobe>caps
mac os: USER>library>application support>adobe>OOB
if that fails or isn't the exact error you see, uninstall, clean (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and reinstall.
if you're using a dvd to install:
copy the disc contents to a desktop directory and install from that directory.
if you're using a mac:
1. Try to Create a new user account in Mac with Administrator Priviledges.
2. Login to the New user, Navigate to Mac HD> Application> Utilities> Adobe Installer folder, Locate products like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Air and un-install them
3. Navigate to User Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
4. Navigate to Mac HD> Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
5. Start the installation again.
if everything applicable above fails, check your installation logs:

Lightroom 5 - Re-installing existing licence to new laptop

Hi there
I recently had an accident with my laptop. It is now dead. I want to re-install Lightroom 5 which I purchased as a download, I have the licence number. I have attempted downloading via free trial, as per forum suggestions but this forced me to download Creative Cloud and would not accept my licence number, says it is not applicable that I already have it. My understanding is that you can install the program onto two computers, as long as they both belong to the same person. I have spent a couple of hours fiddling around and am getting frustrated, can someone offer some advise please. thanks in advance

This seems to be a fairly frequent problem, it seems to be hard to find the non-CC version for download and the CC version won't work with a non CC license key.
So, here's what I believe you need to do:
Uninstall the CC version you've downloaded and installed.
Go to here http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
That should take you to the country-specific download page. I know it says updates but if you click on the Windows or Mac version of LR it's actually the whole program
Download and follow the instructions for installation and then enter your serial number when asked to.
Stand-alone LR does not need de-activating, you can install it on your new laptop with the old number without any problems. I've done it myself in the past as I've moved on to newer PCs. CC and pre-CC Photoshop does need de-activation but not non CC LR.
Good luck!

Here is a copy of the error
This means : Installation failed.
Verification of the Adobe Software failed
The product you want to install is no valid Adobe product and seems to be falsified.

Since I updated my phone and installed itunes on my new laptop, none of the songs I purchased from itunes will work. NOT HAPPY.

Since I last updated my phone and installed itunes on my new laptop, all the songs I purchased (and spent alot of money on) wont play on my phone or itunes on my laptop.

thanks for the reply
it looks as though i have to download them all again because next to each song on both my phone and laptop there is a cloud with a red arrow.
i installed the itunes, then plugged my phone in and followed all the instructions- the itunes on my laptop shows all the songs but still has the cloud symbol

Can't install itunes on my new laptop w/ Windows 8 64bit

So, I am trying to install the newest version of itunes on my Dell with Intel i3 Windows 8- 64 bit system. I had itunes on my old laptop (running Windows Vista) and it worked just fine, but when I tried to install it on my new dell, I get as far as downloading (itunes64setup.exe) and after it is done downloading and I try to install it, it gives me a pop up that says something along the lines of "this app can not be installed on your system- contact software manufacturer for the correct version for your system" I spent several hours on the phone yesterday with an apple rep and they weren't able to resolve it either. They had my delete the itunes that I had just downloaded, turn off my internet protection and try downloading the same one again. It downloads, it just won't install afterwards. When that did not work either, she had me try installing the standard 32 bit version, still nothing. Then she had me install the older itunes 9.2 to see if that would install and then I could just update it afterwards, but that would not install either after downloading. I tried restarting my computer and then downloading it again, same issue. I've been using the newest version of Firefox, but I tried downloading and installing it in IE. Same issue. Tried IE w/out internet protection, same issue. As a last resort I saved the itunes installation from my old laptop on a flash drive and tried to install it on my new laptop from the flash drive and it almost seemed like it would work, it started the installation wizard, but after a minute it stopped and said that it was a 32bit version and that I needed the 64 bit version for my system. That is actually the farthest I had gotten with any of my tries. It would not even get to the installation box with any of the other tries!!! If any one knows a solution for this, I would be so greatful!!! I tried the tips from past discussions and it did not resolve it. HELP!!!

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

I have used the same CS5.5 software for almost 2 years. I tried installing it on my new laptop and the installer is saying that my serial # is invalid. How do I fix this?

I had Adobe CS5.5 Master Collection downloaded onto my old computer for almost a year. I uninstalled CS5.5 from my old computer and tried installing it on my new laptop, but the installer says that my serial # is not valid. How do I fix this? I have never run into this problem before, and I really need my software back up and running, because I have a sizeable project due in 3 days. Any help is appreciated!
