  • Im changing my PC to a new one, how can I transfer Adobe Creative Suit from my old PC to my new PC?

    Im changing my PC to a new one, how can I transfer Adobe Creative Suit from my old PC to my new PC? I bought it online, so the serial is on my profile.

    You need to install the software on the new machine the same way you installed it on the old machine.  You are allowed to have two activated installations if you would like to retain the original installation as a backup.  If not, then you should deactivate it (Help -> Deactivate in any program),
    If you have a download link in your account online you can use that or you can download thru the page linked below...

  • Did a new install of Windows 7 and Adobe, but CS won't activate.

    Have Adobe Creative Sweet Premium from a couple years ago. Did a new install of Windows 7 and Adobe, but CS won't activate. Probably did not de-activate the old product. I paid for it though and have the install disks and serial numbers.
    The adobe.com/go/activate website is less useful. Been on live chat for 20 min. It says an agent is available but no one responds. Help?

    Mylenium,
    That was a good start. Need one more helpful hint. I just found the Adobe DVDs. It is actually Creative Suite 5 Design Standard. It would be nice to put on a box without a DVD player.  Can you please provide me with a download link for CS5 DS?
    I think if I can download it I can handle validating it from there. Thank you!

  • How can I print out CC invoices ? I receive a link in an email from Adobe but I am not allowed to view my invoices ???

    I receive a personal link in an email from Adobe telling me that my account has been charged, but I am not allowed to view my invoices ???

    Go to adobe.com. If you're not already logged in with your adobe id, log in. Under your name you should see a small button that says "manage account." Click it. Next select "Plans & Products." Under the Plans section, click "Manage Plan." On the new page, on the right is a "Billing History" section (it may take a second or to two to load to invoice info). Click the small print icon all the way to the right. You'll get a PDF form that you can download or print. Good luck.

  • Hi I've just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion now Quarkxpress 6.5, Adobe creative suite CS2, Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional and Microsoft Office 2004 will nolonger open. Can anyone please advise me what I can do to get these programs running.

    Hi I've just upgraded my MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Now my installed programs:- Quarkxpress 6.5 - Adobe creative suite CS2 - Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional and Microsoft Office 2004 will not open - I get a banner saying not supported by power mac. Can anyone please help me I really need these programs for my work. Thank you!

    hi tuggerose
    i think it is bad new for you. if it's any consilation i went through the same thing when i loaded mountain lion when it first came out. i think the problem is that mountain lion is a pure 64bit operating system and the software you have is 32bit. earlier os's were able to emulate 32bit but the new system does not. the answer is new software. i did it and it cost me a load of money and much angst so your not alone.

  • Need to undo the "use for new links" option...???

    Hello- Probably an easy answer to this one- I'm just not seeing it.....My first link I made on the page I clicked "use this for new links". Now I don't want to use that format for new links anymore. Do I always have to remember which link was the first one I created and change that one? Do all of the link have to have the same effect? How do I undo the "use for new links" option?
    Thanks!
    Holly

    That's how I thought it should work- there must be something wrong then because after I click "use for new" once, the options are greyed out for any link made after that. Only the original one lets me change it, then all the others follow suit with the changes made to the one. Didn't seem right. Think I should reload iLife?

    I have used Illustrator CS3 on my two try or three previous computers. Now I try to install Illustrator CS3 on a my new (4 weeks old) computer. Adobe does not allow me, but demands me to proof myself being an owner of Illustrator CS2 or older. I don't manage to speak English on phone, bad hearing, to fast spoken, odd expressions.What can I do? Is there a possibility to write a complain?

  • FCP Suite and Adobe Reader

    After the upgrade from the FCP Production Suite to the FCP Studio Suite the
    Adobe Reader (7.0.5) does not recognize newly made embedded QuickTime movies anymore.
    It says "not a supported file type" whereas movies made before are played without problems.
    Does someone know what could have happended?
    Hans van der Meer

    Thanks for the reply because I now understand Adobe apparently has it own specific quicktime needs.
    I am producing my pdf's with TeX that embeds a link to the .mov file. But I guess the embedding is not much of a problem, because obviously Adobe Reader examines the file at the moment its opening is requested (it even asks for locating a file if the one in the pdf cannot be found).
    The strange thing is, that I just found out that Compressor has an option to build movies for quicktime6 and I thought that would solve the problem. Alas no. I thought quicktime6 was the one when I made my working movies, but I may err here and it was qt5 (versions are coming in such rapid succession one is inclined to loose track of them).
    It could be that Adobe Reader needs quicktime5 and no later. If that is the case I must for the moment abandon the track of embedding a movie in my pdf.
    Is there someone out there who knows about this?

  • Downloading Suite via Adobe site

    Hi there,
    I'm planning to download and activate my Creative Suite via the website.
    I find it's easier and less hassle then getting a CD shipped. However I had a few questions.
    If my Mac happens to brick, will I be able to re-download my version and re-install it on a different computer for free?
    What if this happens in 2 years from now, when Adobe will release CS7 or 8 -- how do I get the same version as I have now, to keep it free? (I am assuming if I want to download the newest version, the current Key I will purchase won't work for the newer versions, and I will be forced to upgrade to the newest versions for an extra cost). Is this correct? If so - what is a way around this?
    Thanks!

    There are two answers to your question. It depends on what mode for acquiring Creative Suite you're using:
    1. If you're buying what Adobe calls a perpetual license for the Creative Suite (which is the method that has been used in the past), you would need to BACK UP YOUR DOWNLOADED COPY of Creative Suite 6. Use Time Machine or backup onto a DVD so you keep a copy. If you buy Creative Suite 6 (the current version), you could download another trial copy if you lost your backup, but when a new version is being sold (e.g., CS7 or CS8), the older version will not be available to be downloaded.
    The serial number you'll get would allow you to activate a trial copy. However, when a newer version of Creative Suite comes out, it will NOT WORK with the newer version of Creative Suite. And you would not get any newer version of Creative Suite without paying for the UPGRADE.
    2. If you buy a subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud, you can always download an updated version of the Creative Suite, and you could download CS7 when it becomes available, as long as you keep your subscription current.

  • Using the Links panel | Visual Design CS4 | Adobe TV

    Customize the Links panel to suit your needs. Add the categories you want and then sort the links by category.

    Excellent video. I am always watching Scale factor at links panel whenever scaling images because sometimes can happen to forget to hold Shift while scaling images. Two different scaling percentages means something wrong and image is distorted.

  • I had to set up a new email ID, because I no longer had access to my old email address and Adobe was forcing me to change password, but I could not access the verification email. Now I cannot read my books under my new ID, even though I got Adobe support

    I had to set up a new email ID, because I no longer had access to my old email address and Adobe was forcing me to change password, but I could not access the verification email. Now I cannot read my books under my new ID, even though I got Adobe support to set up my new ID.

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.
