Laptop died and I can't deactivate LR. How can I install on new laptop?

Lightroom doesn’t have a formal activation process like Photoshop, although Adobe may be tracking something since they do want you to log in during the registration process. I’m not sure.
In general your license allows you to install it on up to two computers as long as you’re only ever using one at a time, so just download and install the latest update for LR on your new laptop and enter the serial number(s) or login to CC, whichever licensing model of LR you have. CC does have a two-computer limit, but if you install on a third computer you’ll be asked to deactivate the other two and then only ever login to CC on the other computer that you want to license and it’ll be fine.
You can get the latest update to whatever LR series you have from the Adobe Updates page:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates
You will need to find your serial number(s). If you registered LR with Adobe then they should be available online after logging in to adobe.com and a few clicks into Manage account.

My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it. I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to my new iTunes account. It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one! Help!

My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it. I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to iTunes. It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one!
How can I get my new iTunes account to allow me to Sync my iTouch? The only option it gives me is to "transfer purchases" from my iTouch to iTunes, but that is only about 25% of my iTunes library-most of it is CDs I have uploaded. How can I Sync without losing all my music from my iTouch???
Also, I have lectures and photos, etc. on my iTouch that I don't want to lose.
I've tried a few of the iPod copy programs-the free ones and the ones you have to pay for, but I can't find one that will work for ALL my content on an iTouch.
Right now, I can't get anything from my iTouch to iTunes, and I can't update my iTouch with my new iTunes purchases, so I'm stuck! Help!

Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer. I can't figure out why it won't let me do that.
The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos. I can't see videos, music, or anything else. What's going on?

My old laptop died and even with my sync key I can't get my bookmarks onto my new laptop

Ok, so I had my old laptop synced up with my iphone. I downloaded firefox beta onto my new laptop and went to set up my sync account> Since I cannot enter those number codes on the app (or at least I couldn't figure out how to), I just put in my sync key. I thought that would transfer my bookmarks, but nothing happened. Any suggestions?

This is an extract from one of our senior participant; hope he doesn't mind me reproducing it here
Syncing with new computer
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

Photoshop 10 on laptop that died. How to re-install on new laptop.

Do I have to call Adobe support to have them change my license off the dead hard drive so I can re-install it on my new laptop? Or can I just do the install? I have my product number.

You're allowed two activated installations, so you should be able to just do the install. If you have trouble, go here and scroll down to "still need help" and there's a place to start a chat session:

Hey there 79usma79!
I have a couple of articles for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are seeing with iTunes on Windows XP. The first is a general troubleshooting article, which can be found right here:
iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
This article can help you find out if there are any conflicts between your copy of Windows XP and iTunes, and can tell you what to do if there are. Before going down the troubleshooting route though, you should take a look at this article, which can help you back up your entire iTunes library to an external hard drive, so if this issue is recurring, you will be able to restore from that backup and will not have to worry about losing your playlists or music again:
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

You can download them again onto your new computer. You won't lose anything App wise. However, if you have music on your iPod and no backup of your library, you are going to need some software like Pod to PC to copy the music from your iPod to iTunes.

The iPod sees the new computer as a new iTunes library. You can only sync with one iTunes library. However, you can manage music among disfferent computers. See:

If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.

Bring it into an Apple Store for a free diagnosis and quote for cost of repair/replacement of parts.
If the costs are $500 or over, consider using the money toward a new or "newer" (used) Mac.
