PS CS5 - moving to new PC

Hi,
I'm building a new PC and will be deactivating CS5 on WinXp and installing it on Win7 x64, clean install. I have my PS CS5 full install disk (not an upgrade).
Is there a web page that describes how to copy all of my customizations from the old PC to the new one? I have searched and can't find it.
I'd like to move my Prefs, Workspaces, Actions, Scripts, Web Galleries, etc.
Should I install PS on the new PC using my PS CS5 disk (not extended), or should I download and install the trial version? I notice the trial version is extended, but my serial number is not for extended. I don't see a download for the non-extended version. Is there an advantage to doing it one way versus the other?
Thanks very much for any help.
John

Assuming you are using the same OS, there are choices as to where you can store things. I personally find it easier to find things if I store them with the product than in the awful messy Documents and Settings tree in Windows XP. Yes, I agree that data and programs should be separate, but in my opinion Documents and Settings is such a mess that I'd rather store things with the product. Plus all of my computers are single user. So you might find plugins and actions in two different places or in one or the other.

Did it install correctly? Accept the serial number OK? Activate OK?

Apple provides repeat downloads as a convenience, not a substitute for your computers being the primary source of file transfers. All your iTunes information such as playlists, ratings, etc. are in a file on your computer, not in the Apple Store. Typically when you move computers you copy the whole iTunes folder and everything it contains to the new computer. Moving media files can be done with a drive, or by Home Sharing. You can also redownload media but let's say somebody desiced Apple may no longer sell a certain album; it cannot be downloaded again but if you already have it on a computer you can move your copy of the file.

I want to download and install cs5 on a new macbook air. (I already have it installed on my iMac)

I just got a new mac book air. I want to download and install photoshop cs5 on the new laptop. I already have purchased it and have it installed on my iMac desktop.
I tried moving my copy of PShop CS4 from my old mac book, but got an error code 150:30. So I thought downloading CS5 from adobe would be easier.

Transfering will not work due to the way the software is tied in with the machine when it is installed. You need to install it.
You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

How to Move Adobe CS5 to a new computer; 1 licence

How to Move Adobe CS5 to a new computer? We have license for 1 computer. Afraid if I uninstall on original, that I won't be able to re-download the Suite onto the new computer and lose access altogether... What is the process to migrate software & the license?

How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I am using Photoshop CS5 on a new iMac with a wireless keyboard. I used to be able to hit F11 to perform a custom sharpening action but now the F11 key is the volume control key and I have tried everything to disable or switch the volume key. I have also tried assigning other function keys to initiate the action. Is there a simple solution to this? What am I missing?

Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

You can direct download and install the updates here: Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows
The updater for CS5 is well...outdated.

We have CS5 installed on a workstation, we have the products registered with Adobe. We are going to be replacing this workstation and reinstalling CS5 on a new workstation. Do I need to unregister the product to be able to install it on the new workstation. If so, how do I do this?
Thanks

you should deactivate (help>deactivate) that installation on the old workstation. then download and install on your new work station using your serial number. (ie, make sure you can find your serial number - if you need help with this, let us know.)

My desktop was stolen and my laptop hard drive failed, now I cannot activate cs5 on a new computer, what are my options?

Someone robbed my apartment and made off with my imac. I filed a report with the police and insurance bought me a new one. Around the same time the laptop I use crashed. I has installed cs5 on both of these computers. I was able to activate cs5 on my new desktop, I'm guessing because I backed up my account on an external hard drive, but since the laptop crashed and was fixed I'm unable to activate cs5 again (the message claims I've activated cs5 on too many computers).The hard drive in the laptop was replaced. How can I reinstall cs5 on my laptop?

Your key cannot work in CC, it's newer version, and would require a new purchase.
