My computer was formatted, I lost Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, etc and I don't have my license code.

Windows 7 PC.
License (CS6) bought and installed. My work computer was reformatted by the I.T department and I sub-sequentially lost all my programs. I don't have the license code. Is there any way of retrieving the license and re-downloading?
Please help as I urgently need to use Illustrator and Photoshop for work purposes.

Hazel,
Installation rules will let you install the software on two computers. 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.

i have ipod 4th gen, just updated ios 6, after all... i lost all of my photos, and i don't have any idea what to do to get my photos back, i have thousands photos at my ipod, pleeeaasseee... help me....

I updated to ios 6 on my iPod touch earlier and had the same issue. I think iCloud has been backing mine up though. I freaked out because all 500 of my photos were gone and my stupid self didnt do a back up... But then they all reappeared :..) Maybe i just got lucky? Good luck though..

Hi mike7373,
I just checked your account; you have two subscriptions to Acrobat Pro (one purchased on October 1, and another purchased today). As no serial number is required to use your subscription, you should be able to download and install Acrobat, and then sign in and use it. If you're getting a specific error when you try to install or sign in to Acrobat, please let us know, and we'll get it sorted out.
Ad for you having multiple subscriptions, I would suggest that you Contact Customer Care and ask that you have one canceled/refunded (unless, of course, you need both of them).
Best,
Sara

My iPod was stolen today around 12 o'clock today and I don't have a device that can help me tract it so please app can you locate my iPod please. Where I had it last before someone stole it from me was somewhere around Compton but not there. Email or call

Apple hi my ipo was stolen today and I had it or 4 to 5 years I jut or new music on it and I didn't sync it to my conputer in a long time so I won't have slot of things please if you can lock it and tell them the their to cally number or activation location for my because I don't have a backup new device that can help me sorry if there are slot of mistakes back connection oh and if you could report in in for me a lock it or what not. Also if you can save my things then delete it from that device so they don't do anything that I can't take back thank you and please help me. Oh and the iPod is a 4th generation iPod if they are trying to sell it with a purple case it crashes alot and I have cloud on it. My personal info and pics are in it and they are probably gonna blakmail me eventhough I don't know them please report this in for me.

If you have a iCloud account set up you may be able to disable it, I'm not entirely sure about the earlier iPods. Even a poor thief will have already changed your settings. You can report it as stolen and change all passwords associated with this iPod to prevent a thief from accessing your accounts, computer, etc. As for the blackmail stuff, be careful what you have on your devices! Nothing is that secure. Good luck.

HT204053 I tried to gift someone something but the credit card I was on my account wasn't any good and I don't have access to a credit card... Problem is now it won't let me do anything like DL FREE apps n stuff until I enter a valid credit card but I don

Now I'm screwed cuz I don't have a valid CC to use and I can't do a **** thing until iTunes or AppStore gets me to enter a valid CC... Problem is I could just create a new account but I have about $100 loaded onto this account I'm currently using... Is there anything I can do at this point? Besides go spend money on a prepaid credit card which I don't have money for and enter that info in??? Please help!! I can't even download FREE apps right now or ANYTHING basically cuz of this **** gift thing I was trying to send! This is what I get for being nice I guess! I figured since I had close to $100 in my iTunes/AppStore account it would take the money for the gift from that but noooooo it tried to use the credit card I had on file!! Ugh

You can't use your account's balance for gifting, you can only use a credit card - your balance can only be used to buy content for yourself. Until you pay what you owe iTunes then you won't be able to download any items from the store on that account.
If you haven't got a valid credit card then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they can cancel the gift or take what you owe them from your balance: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Help !! I lost my only admin account and I don't have the root

Hello evrybody
I bought a MacBook and I was very happy with it. But I played whith the netinfo and I changed my only admin account's short name then it turned into a standard account.
I did not active the root account and I have the two CDs , but when i boot frome the CD I only have one option which is updating the system.
Anybody can help me ??

Hi Saudi.
OOOPS!
If your daily cron job hasn't run since you modified the netinfo DB, you can reload from the "dump" of it taken each day.
Boot your system single-user (Apple-S) at startup. Type mount -uw / and then ls -l /var/backups/local.nidump. Check the date. Is it a copy of the unmodified DB?
If so, Follow the instructions here to reload the DB from the dump.
Good luck,
John

My computer was formatted and I need to download Photoshop CC again

my computer was formatted and I need to download Photoshop CC again
what 've to do?

It's as easy as csuebele says. Just keep in mind; you can only have two active installations of Photoshop CC at a time. So if you didn't deactivate your PS installation before you formatted your computer (Help/Sign out) you have used up one of your installations and if you try to install PS on a second computer it wont work. In that case you need to contact Adobe and have them deactivate the first installation for you...

I installed a new SSD drive in my computer and now Adobe Creative Suite Web Premium says I don't have a license. I have license. It was very expensive. I am disabled now, and I need this software working.

I installed a new SSD drive in my computer and now Adobe Creative Suite Web Premium says I don't have a license. I have license. It was very expensive. I am disabled now, and I need this software working. Adobe Acrobat has been a primary tool for accommodating memory problems after a brain injury. (A car ran me down while I was out getting exercise.) I installed the SSD because I needed my management of PDF files to run faster. I called tech support for help when the software first stopped working, but they needed me to give them a number from my original disks. Because of my disability, I've been having someone come in to clean, and the shelves where I kept my software packages were cleared. I've been hunting for them ever since, but I can't look for them myself for very long at a time. Today I finally found them, but now I can't seem to contact tech support. What happened? I don't want to delete my old files because I need the setup to remain unchanged, because I don't do well with changes. I think all I should need is to have someone located the license file on drive E: and move it to wherever it is needed on the SSD drive, but I don't know what to look for.

Tech support is not normally available on weekends. You should contact them as soon as the weekend passes and pick up where you left off with them.

My computer was formatted but I need to access my old content on my itunes backups. Is there any way I can acquire these iTunes backup files ever again?

My computer was formatted but I need to access my old content on my itunes backups. Is there any way I can acquire these iTunes backup files ever again?
I tried recovery software but had no luck!

You reformatted the drive in your computer. The backup files you want to access were overwritten when you re-formatted the drive. They are gone. There may be data recovery services that can get them back. Search google if you want. This has absolutely nothing to do with using an iPhone at this point. You deleted files on your computer...

Saving as .eps format compatible with Adobe Illustrator CS6 or earlier versions

saving as .eps format compatible with Adobe Illustrator CS6 or earlier versions??
does this mean cs6 or newer, or cs6 and older versions?

Don't use EPS anymore. It has been replaced by PDF or AI with PDF compatibility. If you use PDF use either a PDF/X-4 or a PDF without flattening transparency, so you will be able to use layers in other applications.
If you need to use a file in an older version you should save it as AI file in the version you want to open it. But it can happen, when you use some effects it can cause a flattening or rasterizing of a file or parts of it. So keep ALWAYS the file in the version you have created it.

My Adobe Illustrator is CS6 and it corrupts the file if I save it using accents

My Adobe Illustrator is CS6 and it corrupts the file if I save it using accents. How do I fix this?
I mean, if I save a file called "crachá" I'm using an accent on "a" so it showed as "á" but if I do this Illustrator says the following error:
"The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different foulder"
and when I try to open it says:
"The file "Crachá.ai" is in an unknown format and cannot be opened."
So, my solution is to create a new file and call it "Cracha", without the accent. But it never happened before. How can I fix this legitimately?
Thanks.

As for the resolution problem: upsampling an image doesn't improve its quality, because there's simply not enough information there.
As for the warning you get: it's most likely caused by RGB color mode or by placed RGB content that interacts with other content in the file (e.g. because you applied transparency)
In English it's this one:
As far as I see it there's no alternative to learning the basics of printing, color management and transparency. This is nothing that can be done by some forum posts.
Printing:
http://rufus.deuchler.net/2011/06/adobe-publishes-a-new-creative-suite-555-printing-guide. html
You need to understand what's happening on conversion of RGB to CMYK color space, which will happen when printing to offset presses. When you print on office printers, something else happens and all kinds of color may come out, because these machines sometimes do their own color correction and everything depends on how you set up the machine.
Provided you check the PDF in Acrobat: you need to set up color management there as well. This might lead to the differences (greenish) you're seeing.
Find a good book on color management and read the manual:
Creative Suite * Understanding color management (there's more about the subject)
As for transparency:
http://partners.adobe.com/public/asn/en/print_resource_center/Transparency-DesignGuide.pdf
http://partners.adobe.com/public/asn/en/print_resource_center/TXPGuide.pdf
Before sending files to a print service provider you need to get information on how they need the file. Most providers won't accept PDFs generated with "No color conversion". Or they won't guarantee for the output.
What you see on your monitor won't necessarily match the printed result unless your system is correctly calibrated and color management set up. And even then there might be differences.
Can't you contact this former colleague, pay him an amount of money and let him teach you the tools of the trade?

Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

Install Adobe illustrator cc 2014 and I have no desktop icons when I save my work to my desktop

I have installed Adobe illustrator cc 2014 and I have no desktop icons when I save my work to my desk top. I have a white square and the file name and thats it. What is wrong? I have no other illustrator programs on my computer.

Is it possible to load my Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop CS2 on my wife's new iMac version 10.7?

Greetings All,
Is it possible to load my Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop CS2 on my wife's new iMac version 10.7? So far, no luck. Message says: "won't support programs for Power PC"
Apparently it's time to dole out a chunk of change and upgrade. Your advice, comments, suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
George

George:
Always an excellent idea to have a backup somewhere. Make sure you purchase an external drive that is big enough that you can create a few partitions. That way you can have a partition for the "clone" and then maybe two more partitions: one for your files as a backup and one for your wife's. And you can move the external around between your computer and your wife's, as long as they are both Macs.
And for cloning, I suggest and recommend Carbon Copy Cloner:

My computer was formatted, I lost Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, etc and I don't have my license code.
