My serial code is brand new and it says that it is used already

I just bought Lightroom and I tried to install it on my laptop and the CD wasn't working with my computer, it is a worn CD drive.  So i downloaded the trial version of Lightroom online and thought I could just use the serial code then to activate the software.  The problem is, the code says that it has been used already because I already tried with my CD.  How do I activate my software license?

cd or no cd would make no difference.
are you seeing an invalid serial number message?  are you seeing an excess activation count message?  something else?
attaching a screenshot of the message would remove the ambiguity.

  • I try to register my new iPhone5 and its says that S/N is already registered with another AppleID! What can I do?

    I try to register my new iPhone5 and its says that S/N is already registered with another AppleID!
    (Maybe someone mispelled his own S/N and typed mine instead??)
    What can I do?
    Thanks!

    To be precise: this iPhone was bought from the Apple Store by someone else, so is it possible that Apple has registered it automatically under that AppleID?
    In this case, how can it be "transferred" to my Apple ID?
    Thanks.

  • HT4913 i am trying to get my computer and my wifes computer on my itunes match.  i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please

    i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please explain.  is this going to screw my wifes account up? 

    If you both have seperate iTunes Store accounts then basically, yes, it is going "screw up" your wife's account.
    iTunes Match is designed as a single-user service which is associated with one and only one iTunes Store account ID. If you have subscribed on your account and want to activate the service on another computer that is already signed in with an account the present account must be signed out and then iTunes signed into your account. This means the other computer will have complete access to your account and will only be able to make purchases on your account. iTM is not designed to be signed in and out at will. If she has apps purchased with her iTunes Store account they will not be able to be updated.

  • Can not update iPod Nano, brand new and error says there is not enough room

    I just purchased my son a 1 gig nano. After registering and setting up options for updates. I got a message saying that it could not update because there wasn't enough room. I was trying to download less than 100 songs and all of them have been downloaded from iTunes. I have already completed the "5R's" as suggested in the troubleshooting section and it still will not update. iTunes recognizes his iPod, all software has been updated, I've reset and restarted. Very frustrated and my 11 year old is very devestated. Could someone please help?
    Thank you

    There's not an actual limit number to the ammount of songs that any iPod can hold. It's all size dependant. You might have simply downloaded a lot of large songs. When you're in iTunes check at the bottom of the screen to see how many megs or gig they actually take up. And keep in mind a 1 gig iPod isn't actually 1 gig. There is always a bit of space used up by system files and whatnot.

  • Did anyone else get a brand new mac book pro that came with items already in the favorites tab?

    just bought a brand new mac book pro went online and noticed that there were already items saved to favorites, strange things about pumpkin cheesecake.

    You could have purchased a refurbished computer.
    Take it back and voice your concern and where ever you purchased it from will probably swap it out for you

  • I was trying to sign into apple with my existing user name (just downloaded 07 on my phone)and it says that my email is already being used, don't know what to do?

    I have an apple id that doesn't include my email, when trying to download on my phone (new system 07) it wants user name to include email address, i typed that in and it says it is already being used, not sure what to do?

    Is there a "I forgot my password" option anywhere? If so, I would enter your email address and then click that option. That way, they'll email you your password and you can use that to access the account and see what's going on.

  • Brand new and sealed replacement battery has 3 cycles already...

    Hi all,
    I have had my MacBook Pro since April 2007 and noticed diminished battery performance lately. I used iStat Pro which notified (via System Profiler) that it has completed 395 cycles. Upon further investigation I found out they are only supposed to do 300 hence why I was being fed back that the battery health was 33% and that Snow Leopard suggested I replace the battery.
    As I type this I am giving my new battery it first full charge, however have noticed it has 3 cycles already? Why is this and is it normal?
    Regards, Gordon

    Upon further investigation I found out they are only supposed to do 300.....
    No exactly. The Apple statement referring to "300" cycles says:
    Battery Lifespan: For Apple notebooks with removable batteries — such as previous generation MacBook and MacBook Pro computers — a properly maintained battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 300 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs.
    Like yours, many have lasted longer--some much longer.
    I would not worry about the cycle count on a new battery. Mine had two after being replaced by an AASP who wanted to test the new battery in my computer before returning it. If anything, your battery may have been tested subsequent to manufacture but before shipping, probably a good thing.
    The Apple article referencing 300 cycles is here:

    This article explains what constitutes a "cycle."

    I bought a brand new Mac 27" desktop that came loaded with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the hard drive, 1Tb, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new one as I had extended warranty with them. They recycled the drive immediately (like a fool I didn't ask for it back to get the data off it.) But luckily I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it worked great except I downloaded it to the desktop and not the original location so it got squirrely. I also have an external 1.5Tb drive that I wanted to make bootable so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3 . I then went ahead and installed it on the newly installed drive too.
    I think that because I have a new drive Adobe thinks I have a news computer. I bought the 27" Mac brand new from Ebay and it came loaded with software, including CS6. I have a serial number for CS6 but Adobe said it wasn't valid. (I have owned CS2, CS4 and now CS6 which came preloaded onto the Mac by the seller who told me that the software was registered to the Mac???
    I am going to re-download the backup but this time to the original location (I still don't think it will work with Adobe. What can I do about this?

  • I have a brand new Mac Pro Tower that continually kicks me off the internet and sometimes starts up not connecting to the internet?

    My brand new Mac Pro Tower that I spent a small fortune on sometimes boots up and does not connect to the internet when every other computer in my office does and other times it just kicks me straight off. My question is, is there a problem with the wi fi on these machines?

    Brand new nMP Mac Pro 6,1 Late 2013.... and it is defective - the older silver tower might be easier to find parts but at least it is not 65 lbs and is something that can be taken in - which I think you really need to do.
    When you run etrecheck from www.etresoft.com it can show what is installed, drivers and might help point to something on software side.
    Grant is the go-to person here I think among others for networking issues.
    Airport Express and signal strength, channel it is trying to use, whether the Network control panel settings are "correct" or need to be changed (even the order, what it is trying to look for and use).
    If you move it to another spot or put another computer over in that general vicinity...? behaves the same.
    I recall reading where the MacBook Pro model in 2012? and switched to a new chipset and some very long (huge) threads in their forum - which means also there was no real solution given.
    No, should not be. And other than network tests would be booting into Apple DiagnosticsTest mode - pulls down from Apple servers.

    Hi mgarcia3,
    If you are having an issue with
    As someone who uses my iPhone almost constantly I can certainly understand how you would be upset to have it not be able to even turn on. Let's see if we can get you back up and running.
    I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
    Be sure to note the last step -
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • My ipod shuffle is brand new and will not connect to itunes

    my ipod shuffle will not connect to itunes and it is brand new and i have used other ipods on this computer.

    When you take this one back, be sure to have your USB docking cable checked, to make sure it is not  the thing that is defective.
    Also, make sure you have USB cable plug completely inserted into the headphones jack.  The fit is sometimes tighter than expected, especially when the shuffle is new.  This is apparently enough of an" issue" that Apple has a tech support doc about it
