PC Crashed and can't activate reinstalled photoshop

My PC Crashed and a new hard drive was needed. I reinstalled Photoshop Elements 8 on the PC but now I can't activate the product without deactivating the programme on the redundant hard drive. How do I fix this?

I did not have the Purchased option under my quick links for some unknown reason. Contacted itunes support who kindly granted me a one time re-download of my purchased music. And it was through available downloads that I was able to retrieve them and the Purchase option is now there under the quick links!  If you do not have another ipod, phone, ipad etc. with your music etc., you must back up your files.

  • I had to replace my hard drive and can't get my Photoshop CS2  9.0.2 to activate.  I have tried both the phone and the website and have both the serial number

    I had to replace my hard drive and can't get my Photoshop CS2  9.0.2 to activate.  I have tried both the phone and the website and have both the serial numbers.  I can't find a number that works to speak to a live person at Adobe.  I need to reduce the pixel size TODAY on some photos and need the program.  Is there another way to reduce pixels if I can't get my Photoshop running today?

    Where do I get the specially assigned serial number?????  I don't want to have to purchase anything since I already bought the CS2 and I don't need a newer version.
    Follow the prompts at the link provided by Ned.
    Everything's there including your new CS2 non-activation download file and your new non-activation serial number.
    It's free for existing owners of CS and CS2. Nothing more to purchase.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. 
    If for some reason you have failed to do this, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchass from the ipod. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

    It should be like the very first time you synced your phone with I-Tunes. It will notice you haven't synced before and just copy everything from your phone into I-Tunes. It shouldn't delete anything from the phone, at least it never has for me. It just puts a copy of everything into I-Tunes and even if you delete an app for example from your phone and you decide you want it back later, you can just go back into I-Tunes and copy it back over. Hope this helps.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • My desktop crashed and I had to reinstall itunes how do I transfer all the apps and their information, music, and contacts from my iphone to the itunes software?

    My desktop crashed and I had to reinstall itunes software.  My iphone has all my apps with their data, contacts, photos, videos & music.  How can I import all of the information and data on my iphone into itunes?  I downloaded one app that is a to-do-list but it indicates that if I sync with my iphone I will lose all data on my iphone and it will be replaced with the data on itunes.  I do not want to lose my data!  I have a lot of information and I cannot understand why Apple would not have a way to restore my data from my iphone to my itunes.  PLEASE HELP!

  • HT1296 my computer crashed and I had to reinstall itunes and now I cannot sync my ipod with my computer

    My computer crashed and I had to reinstall iTunes.  Now I cannot sync my iPod with my computer.  Any suggestions?

    Was this issue ever resolved?
    Ditto for me!  I am so upset because about 15 years, I've had the same old Toshiba Gigabeat MP3 player which worked perfectly fine until the day Gigabeat (the software) upgraded to a Vista-compatibility program which made the MP3 go haywired!!  I couldn't get the MP3 player (again) to work as normal prior to the update.  Then, two years later, the business no longer supports MP3 players, nor does it invest in software patches!  Now I have a failed equipment ... though it still plays, but just won't let me work the controls to choose or select tracks!  I can only operate the on/off button on the Toshiba Gigabeat MP3 player! AND, concidentally, the battery seems to shorten (lessen)!  Interesting...
    Then, I decided okay, I had enough...I can't play over 5.000 songs just to return to start; I decided to purchase the Apple iPod Classic 160 GB Silver!  I've had it only since March 2012.  It worked wonderfully at first.  It took me months to put all the music from my CDs to this magical device.  And, then, all of a sudden, my computer CRASHED (ironically in JUNE 2012!!) and lost all on the hard drive ... perhaps it is not ironic afterall.
    Here's a tall quesion to Apple manufacturer, are they preparing us to confiscate our equipment?  It sure seems that way to me! 
    No support from Toshiba (which, by the way, are currently investing in so-called "green energy in nuclear projects" in the state of Texas), nor is there any support by Apple ... Interesting!  Sorry for babbling.  But I'm tired of big money making corporations putting on the bluffer masks on the public!  Something just ain't right!  Hold tight to your vinyls, tape decks, cassettes, 8-tracks and CDs...  This may be just another whim to making big time money!

  • My computer crashed and I want to reinstall LR also want to share with my wife's computer.  Will my reinstall be considered the second and how do I do it???

    My computer crashed and I need to reinstall LR.  How do I do it.  Also want to share with my wife's computer.  Will this reinstall be considered the second account.  Need help in how to do this...

    OK, I can tell I'm annoying you, for that I apologize.  I am not a pro at this.  I purchase LR 3 yrs ago and used it up until my computer crashed.  It was the one I told you about.  It may have been something before 5 and I believe it is.  I just went back and checked  an this is what I found....  Purchased Apr. 23, 2013  My serial number is not being recognized.  Is there anything I can do.... I appreciate your patience

    What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system was it running on and will it be running on?
    On how many computers do you already have this same purchased activated serial number? Assuming just the computer that crashed?
    If just that one crashed computer, then just install the program from your installation files or installation disc.
    But, make sure your installation files or installation disc for the crashed computer will be supported by the new computer.
    If you already have the same purchased activated serial number on two computers (crashed and another one), then you will need to deactivate
    this purchased activated serial number for the other non crashed computer before trying to install on the new computer.
    We can give you more details on Deactivation once we know the program version.
    Adobe allows the purchased activated serial number on no more than 2 of your computers. And you cannot use them at the same time.
    Please review. If any questions or need clarification, please ask.
    Thank you.
    ATR
    Add On...If more sorting out is required, then Adobe will need to do it since it is the only one to take care of activation issues. We are not Adobe.
    Rather user to user forum.

  • How do I deactivate a license from a computer that crashed and can no longer be accessed?

    How do I deactivate a license from a computer that crashed and can no longer be accessed? I cannot use the software on my new computer because of too many users.

    Will you please provide a specific telephone number or chat link? I seem to be in a loop, that gets me back to the same place:
    I click on your above link ...
    Then Deactivation and sign-out problems
    Then Error "Activation limit reached" or "Sign in failed" | Adobe products
    Then Can't access your previous computer?
    Then "Don't have access to the previous computer on which you installed the application?Contact us. Be sure to have any purchase-related information ready."
    "Contact Us" takes me back to "Need help?", which eventually directs me to this forum in the first place.
    Thanks you.
