Laptop crashed, moved HDD to another PC to use CS5 but it gives me a Configuration Error. Error:6

Hi, My laptop containing Adobe CS5 recently crashed. I do not have the serial as this was activated at my school and they only do it once for everyone. What I did was to take the HDD out and put it onto my PC and try to use the application from there, a method which worked before on other applications, but when I wanted to load up dreamweaver and any other applications in the suite it failed to load and popped out the following message:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Configuration Error
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please uninstall and reinstall the product.
If this problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of the screen.
Error:6
http://www.adobe.com/support/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Can anyone help me out? I don't have the serials nor the CD to reinstall so I'm practically stuck and I cant afford to buy the thing again.

Adobe applications simply don't work that way. Installation puts software and configuration information not only in application-specific directories under \program files\, but also in system directories. As such, Adobe application installations are not portable.
Unfortunately, in order to re-install your software, you will need to go back to your “school” for installation media and serial number information since the software was licensed through them and not directly via Adobe.

  • CS4 Install not working. Laptop crashed. New download link sent yesterday. Downloaded, but install will not work on new laptop. Help?

    Laptop crashing. Purchased new. Had 30 day free trial of CS4. Activated and used that.
    My serial # would not work when prompted for it.
    Yesterday, chat session helped me to download the software again. Download took 3 hours so chat session ended before install could be completed.
    Today I rand the install.
    The first time the session ended with a "failed to install" and a list of programs (all of them).
    Second and subsequent attempts result in getting to the "Cancel/Install" screen. Message says "Preparing to install" but nothing happens for a significant amount of time.
    Please advise. How do I complete the install? I do need to use this software very, very soon.
    Thank you!

    DAnderson which operating system are you using on this laptop?  Did you transfer/migrate/copy over your files, folders, and applications to this new computer?

  • I am desperate to transfer a file from my mac laptop to my ipad.I was told to use iphoto ,but it scrambles up the order I want the pictures ,how can I move the pictures to the sequence I want?Any help is greatly appreciated :)

    I am desperate to get my photos onto my ipad for a presentation tomorrow.The photos are from different times and dates.When I put the photos onto iphoto they all come out in a completely different order to what I want.How can I arrange this so that the pictures are in the correct order.Thank you for assistance .Delia

    Learn how things work
    files have no order at all  --  the program that views them sets the order  --  in iPhoto you can do this with a number of sorts on the photo data or manually  --  in a file viewer like the finder or windows explorer there are a number of sorts on the file data (not the photo data) that you control - so in the finder you can sort by alpha file name, date or file creation or last modification, size of file, etc
    So having the file sdisplay in your selected order first off involves understanding the difference between file data and photo data, then making a decision how you want them to display in the file system (and verifying that the file system you plan to use supports this) and then use the iPhoto export to create files that will match the sort you want if iPhoto supports this
    the most common way is to display the files in alpha file names order at the destination - so you need to export the files so their file names are in alpha sort order using the sequential numbering option of export

  • IP Configuration Error - IP address in use by another device

    My parents' have set up a wirless netwrok in their home but are experiencing a IP configuration error.
    They have Cable Broadband going into a cable modem. The modem is connected to a DLINK router via ethernet. The router has an ethernet connection to one computer (PC running Windows 2000) and an ethernet connection to a NETGEAR Wall-Plugged Ethernet Bridge XE102 which provides a wireless connection for an iMac G5 in another room.
    The PC and the iMac are able to connect to the Internet without any problems. However, my PowerBook can see the NETGEAR network but it can access the Internet through it. The following error message keeps popping up:
    IP Configuration Error
    192.168.0.100 in use by 00:13:46:6d:26:11, DHCP SErver 192.168.0.1.
    I read some previous posts that indicated it may be a problem with an IP address being assigned to a printer (and they do have an HP PSC connected by USB to the PC).
    I can't seem to figure out how to free up the IP address. I checked the router settings and it is configured to assign more than just two or three.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advanced.

    Have you tried resetting your router and reseting your cable modem this should Asign all new IP address to all of the Computers on the network.
    To reset your modem unplug it and leave it out for about 3 min and then replug it and the router should either have a reset button on it or from your computer you should be able to reset it.
    I think your going to need to change your IP address but try resetting everything first.

    My laptop crashed completely and I need to authorize a new laptop to enable it sync with itunes. I have 5 computers authorized so I am unable to add another one so I need to unauthorize the bad laptop that is no longer working. How do I authorize new Laptop?

    You can only deauthorize everything to do that. Click on Account under Quick Links. You can deauthorize all five there. But you can only do this once a year.

  • The hard drive on our laptop crashed was able to transfer all for 2 users files etc to another mac. got it fixed 80,000 photos were transferred back but iphoto library for 1 user is empty now. can this iphoto library be recovered?

    The hard drive on our laptop crashed and we took it to the apple store and they said we can transfer all files photos and videos over to another mac laptop via a special cable.  We did that and everything for the two users transferred over to the other laptop fine including 80,000 photos.  We got the laptop fixed and my husband transferred everything back to our laptop.  In his profile (he’s the administrator) his iPhoto library has all 7900 of his photos in it as well as all his events and albums that he created prior to it crashing. It’s organized exactly how he had it; however, in my profile, my iPhoto library is empty.  I had over 9,000 photos in it and like 65 events and a couple of albums and it’s completely empty yet when he transferred everything back to our mac, he it showed that 80,000 photos were transferred as well.  Do you know where all those photos could possibly be stored?

    Yes you can move the book but not by exporting
    The book is just entries in the iPhoto database so the only way to transfer it is ot transfer the entire library it is in - you can make a "mini" library containing only one book to make the transfer easier - see Old Toad's tutorial #9 - http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No._9.html
    You also can save a PDF of the book and transfer that but you can not edit pr process it

  • Old laptop crashed, tried syncing it into new one but half my songs disappeared. No I got a new ipod and another new laptop. How do i get back my lost songs and make sure it all ends up on my new ipod?

    I had a laptop that had over 2,000 songs in my library but it crashed and my ipod could only hold a little over 1000. Later, when I got my new laptop, I synced my ipod to it only to have all my songs disappear. I did the itunes media folder thing and only got about half of my songs back (some from CDs, some from the itunes store and some from amazon downloads). I hadto get a newhard drive for my laptop and now i have a new ipod. So how can I getback my old songs and then get ALL of my songs tranfered to my new ipod?

    Hello Chris,
    Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
    Thanks for answering so fast.
    Bye.

    What Should I Do?
    Message was edited by: TigerMegz

    +I tried various troubleshooting steps and each time when plugging the iPod in Itunes it starts up and it takes maybe 1 minute trying to recognize it when the computer crashes and reboots automatically going to the black screen and doing a file dump.+
    I'm curious about this point. Is there any flash of a blue screen at any point here? (That's a more familiar sort of thing to be seeing prior to the system doing a restart after a serious error.)

  • I have my IPad 2 synced to Itunes. My Laptop crashes. No data available on the HDD. Bought a new HDD installed Itunes. Is their any way to do a restore to itunes from my IPad?

    I have my IPad 2 synced to itunes on my corporate laptop. The laptop crashed and I needed to send the laptop away. IT re-immaged the laptop. I loaded Itunes, and my question to anyone is is their a way to restore a Itunes lib back to a PC from a IPad

    It has always been very basic to alway maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • Laptop crash, now trying to install CS3 on another computer

    Hi there.  I had Creative Suite 3 registered on a laptop and desktop.  Well, my laptop crashed and died, and now I'd like to put that registration of CS3 on a new computer.  However, it won't let me install it because it was never deactivated or uninstalled on that old laptop. Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Thanks for any advice you may have.

    Installation has nothing at all to do with registration or activation.
    So, please back up and tell us exactly where the problem is. Is the software installing but failing to activate?

  • Laptop crashed and how to transfer music from ipod back to laptop and won't transfer new purchases to ipod?

    My laptop crashed about 2 days ago. I got it fixed and had to reinstall it. I had to reinstall itunes all over again. How do I transfer all my songs from my ipod including the ones that were from hardcopies and by hardcopies I mean cds I bought in real life and is on a disc. All of the songs are still on my ipod so how do I upload all of the songs and videos (purchases, music/songs from hardcopies/cds uploaded not bought from itunes, etc...?) How would I upload all of that back to itunes on my laptop? Another question is for some reason when I hook up my ipod to my laptop, I recently bought 23 songs about a day ago and it won't upload those purchases to my ipod, is it because I have all the hardcopies and downloads on my ipod that the itunes library doesnt have? Also, how would I sync my newest purchases to my ipod efficiently without deleting any of the hardcopies I uploaded before my laptop crashed?

    phonefans is a spammer, ignore his posts.
    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • HT1386 How many different computers can I sync my iPod with?  My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer.

    How many different computers can I sync my iPod with?  My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer when I sync my iPod.

    You can sync with onee at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
