My computer died, trying to download CS5 onto new computer. It is not accepting my serial no.

I had photoshop on my computer which is now completely dead. Plus I have photoshop on one other computer.
I am not able to get my serial no. to be accepted on my download from the following site.
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
here I found 2 files that I was to download. I was told by the forum that I should put these into a single file and click on the exec. file to get it started. This worked. However, I could not find the photoshop cs5 that I am familiar with. Because I wasn't able to get my serial no. to work, I signed up for the trial but it didn't have all the range of tools and the program looked unfamiliar.. So my other question is: which file was I supposed to download in order to get it to work?
in summary:
1.serial no. won't work on the download
2.my new computer doesn't have a dvd writer and Download looks unfamiliar with only a few tools.
If I purchase a DVD writer, would my disc be usable with the serial no.?
thanks in advance for any help!

Thank you for your reply. It is helpful, but not completely so. I was super careful with the download, but not being a computer person,there was not enough information at a beginner level. After spending literally hours with various chat people, I was given a link. It was indistinct and the woman narrating it was vague in her communication. It didn't help or cast light on my issue. In the end I bought a dvd writer. Wish I had done this earlier on as in no time my disc was installed.

If not, what to do?

Hello Nahuali
The music will be there once you sign in with your Apple ID that used for purchases. Check out the article below to know the steps on how to make that happen.

HT1349 I tried to download Itunes onto my computer. It downloaded and the computer restarted, but the application isn't there for me to access, so apparently it didn't download right. Why didn't it take?

I tried to download Itunes onto my computer. It seemed to download, then the computer restarted itself, but the file for itunes isn't there. Why didn't it download right?

After doing some research, I found out that I had accidently hid iPhoto after I paused the download. After going into my apple id account and saw my hidden purchases, I found it. Thank you so much helping me though!

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Trying to download Adobe Flash Player but it will not accept my Mac password. Any ideas?

Where are you trying to get Flash Player from? Downloading is different from installing but many malicious websites offer to supply Flash Player as a means of installing malicious software and gathering personal information (e.g., passwords). You should get Adobe Flash only from Adobe and this link lets you download the full installer (Mac OS X (Intel) DMG) and run it locally. At that point OS X will ask for your password and if you've been using it successfully for other purposes (e.g., changing some items in System Preferences), it should work there too. Note that once Flash Player is installed, a Preference panel is installed too, and in it you can authorize Adobe to update Flash automatically.

Get Error2 message when trying to download iTunes onto my computer

When trying to download iTunes onto my laptop, it keeps giving me an error2 message:
Apple application support was not found.
Apple application support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.
I've tried to uninstall MANY times and installed again, but still get the same message.
Please tell me what to do b/c iTunes does not provide me any directions that are helping me solve this problem.......

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes (similar to those above) and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Application Support won't install normally.

I am having issues with my iTunes on my new MacBook Pro Retina. I called about a month-ago to fix my iTunes on my computer, and now when I buy new movies or music it will not let me play it on my computer nor will it download it onto my computer.

As noted a month ago I called apple to fix my iTunes account. Now when I buy songs or music I cant watch, listen, or even download them onto my computer. It keeps giving me this pop-up when I try.
"This computer is already associated with an Apple ID."
"You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 52 days."
I know this computer is associated with an Apple ID, because it's mine, so why can't I watch, listen or download them onto my computer?
They had me reset alot of crap when I called them, so if anyone knows how to possibly fix this before I call Apple and freak out, please tell me!
Thank you,

Check the required specs for the latest version of iTunes and iOS. What kind of Mac computer do you have and what OS does it have on it. Also, what kind of processor do you have, Intel?

Old computer died, can't activate Lightroom on new computer. Invalid serial number error.

My old computer fried. Obviously, didn't deactivate Lightroom. Installed Lightroom on new computer but can't activate... getting invalid serial number error. Trying to get thru to Adobe is a joke. Help.

Most likely, you downloaded the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom which will not accept your serial number. You need to uninstall it, reboot, then download the standalone version of Lightroom and install that.
