Problem installing CS2 Premium (please help)

I bought a copy of CS2 a couple of years ago ("free" support has now expired). I installed it on my desktop and laptop (both running XP). Worked fine.
Last year, I upgraded the laptop and wanted to de-register (or whatever the Adobe term is for deleting that machine from their database) and install it on the new database. The de-registration appeared to work, but the installation on the new machine didn't. All of the Adobe software (not the Macromedia stuff) would start and stop, due to the inappropriate registration. I called customer service, and was informed that my "free" support had expired, but that someone "might be able to help" for $50/hour. I declined and have just used the software on the desktop.
Last weekend, the desktop machine died and I replaced it. Now, as far as I can tell, I have no way of de-registering either installation (the funky version on the old laptop or the one on the dead desktop), and no way to keep using a software package that cost me a couple of thousand dollars.
Really frustrating.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Problems installing ...please help..running out of time

Iam trying to install 9ias application server 1.0.2.0 on win NT, and iam getting the error..
THE SPECIFIED KEY VALUE WAS NOT FOUND WHILE TRYING TO GET VALUE.
Please help.

We may need more information on the circumstances associated with the user's
machine and their install session, but here's a few tips to share:
1. Ensure that the user is logged in as Administrator or equivalent and has
write access to the registry.
2. If running from a network drive mapping, make sure the drive mapping is
permanent or persistent so after login it will be remapped if your system
requires a reboot during install.
3. Make sure the user is launching the install from the iSetup.EXE located
in the root of Disk 1 and not from any other SETUP.EXE. The sole exception
to this is for silent installs, which is covered in Chapter 6 of the install
guide.
4. If OUI displays an error message, don't panic. Most OUI dialogs have a
help button with some useful information, and other errors will be written
to the InstallActions.log file, located in the C:\Program
Files\Oracle\Inveltory\logs directory. When an error is displayed, don't
click OK before you have had a chance to open this log file and review the
last few lines in the log.
Looking in the log file will be particularly useful for this error because
the OUI script appears to be looking for a registry entry that is not
present on the user's machine. Most likely, the user didn't launch
iSetup.EXE from the CD root.
Thanks,
Bij

HUGE problem installing FCP 7 -- Please HELP

I know that the people in this forum are ridiculously smart -- I REALLY need some help!
For the past six days I have been trying to install FCP 7. I had a version of Final Cut Studio 2 and I wanted to upgrade to FCP 3. So I put the install discs in and it automatically made me skip over installing FCP 7. I am attaching a screen shot below. You'll notice that for FCP is says "SKIP" under actions. I thought that this was due to an issue with Installer reading my old serial from FCS 2, because I never had to enter the serial number for FCS 3.
OK, so I downloaded FCS Remover and got rid of Final Cut Studio. I put in my install disc and I did have to enter the serial number. It went through fine BUT I got that SAME EXACT screen with FCP amid others being told to "skip." I do not have the option to change this.
Is there anyone else out there that can help me with this?

Both Final Cut and Compressor are unable to be checked....Most of my projects were saved in FCP 6. My partner tried to give me a project in FCP which is why I tried to upgrade. Right now I can't even access FCP 6. I might try to wipe my hard drive clean and reboot from a Time Machine backup that had FCS 2.
I might try to bring this to the Apple Store. My Macbook Pro is under warranty, though I'm not sure if they would know anything about Pro Apps
Wow, this whole ordeal has really been a nightmare.

Problem installing on iMac - please help

I have been having nothing but problems with this Leopard install on my iMac (though it seems to be working on my Macbook Pro). Here's what happened:
- The iMac install was going just fine. I selected the hard drive (no yellow exclamation or anything like that) and it began to install. After about 2 minutes it kicked me out and said there was an error.
- ok. So I rebooted and tried it again. From this time on, whenever I tried to install Leopard on the hard drive there was a yellow exclamation, and I got the infamous "Can't install OS X on this volume without changing installation settings" (basically erasing the disk)
- Then I tried Leopard Disk Utility. When I tried to verify the disk, it gave me an error saying the disk has the incorrect number of extended attributes (should be 0 instead of 238) and it needs to be repaired. But it wouldn't let me repair it, even if I rebooted off the DVD.
- Next, I went back to Tiger's Disk Utility and verified the disk and repaired permissions. There seemed to be an error that was corrected, so I thought that would do the trick. Wrong! By the way, I checked the partitions and the disk is formatted with a GUID partition.
- Even after the repair and verification with Tiger, I still get the same problems. When I go to install Leopard, it doesn't work and I get the same errors if I run Leopard Disk Utility.
I can't afford to lose my settings, etc. Does anyone know how I might be able to get this to work?

I have tried everything but I can't connect my iphone to my laptop. It says that apple mobile device failed to be installed. I have read everything on the internet and did everything but still am facing the same problem. Can you please help me.

Again without stating the trouble shooting steps you have taken, its hard to direct you with any information.
Try a different port on the computer.
Does the iphone beep when u plug it up. ?
Plug iphone into computer and give it 3 to 4 minutes to see if it connects and is running slow.,
Delete the apple mobile device from your computer.
Upgrade itunes to newest version.
Is you USB cord defective ?
Any USB 3.0 on your system ? .
Delete or Disable any antivirus program on your computer ?
I will tell u the problem is your computer not the phone.
We could do this for hours.

Upgrade to the latest patch and the problem shoudl go away - this issue was fixed I think in 6.0.8.13+
You can also try setting Keey Cursor position to Yes on the item.

Hello I forgot my Security question of my Apple ID ? I don't kow what should I do and how to solve this problem ? could you please help ?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Please Help to solve...

Hi Ahmed,
In iTunes, go to the Store in the left menu, select iTunes Store, wehn it opens, make sure you are on the home screen (icon of a house in the menu bar) and from the righthand side, select Account.
Next you will see all of your account information. Just a little don, you will find: Apple ID overview, there it says, Authorised computers; click on the button to deauthorise.
And you should be done.
Grtz, Carl.

This is an annoying problem for many people. Most likely your dock connector (on the bottom where you plug in your phone) is dirty or screwed up and is probably just coincidence that it happened after you updated. Some people have had success cleaning the port with a dry clean tooth brush. There is a long discussion going on at the thread I linked below. Good luck...

I still don't know which version of OSX you have but assuming it's 10.7 or 10.8 .....
You need to press command-R (at the sound of the chime) to get into recovery, try that, if it does not work try command-option-R for Internet Recovery.

How do I install the iOS 4.3 on my iPhone 3GS ? I've tried direct links but they it says safari cannot install this ? Please help !

You can not install anything but the current version of iOS. If you have a 3Gs, then you can install 6.0.1 by plugging it into your computer running iTunes (10.7 or higher). If you have a 3G, 4.2.1 is the end of the line.
