Re-Installing Creative Cloud after hard drive crash

I recently had a hard drive crash and had to install a new hard drive.  My old data was backed up on a slave disk but I can't get it to run again.  I can't even uninstall the previous suite because the Control Panel - Add / Remove program window will not show the slave disk  with the applications.  If I install it again I don't want to use up the "second" download that comes with the purchase of the license.  Where do I go from here?

Hi allegrophoto,
If you did not deactivate your software before the crash, you can contact Adobe customer support (http://helpx.adobe.com/contact/) to enable your activation count. You can then install it again. I am not sure what you mean by "second download".
Thanks,
Preran

  • Can I install Snow Leopard over Lion to install old software after hard drive crashed?

    My hard drive crashed and I lost everything.  I have a new hard drive, but when the repair shop installed my operating system, they installed Lion and I no longer have my prior updates.  My computer had been updated a few times.  I have a lot of software that only can be installed up to 10.7 such as Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, Office Mac 2011, etc.  I was wondering if I installed Snow Leopard over Lion, would I lose Lion?  Should I install Snow Leopard and then Lion again?  I don't want to damage my like new computer and I don't want to have to go out and buy all new software.  Is there a solution?  Thanks in advance!

    Sounds complicated!  If I repartition the drive and install Snow Leopard onto the blank volume, will Lion still be there?  Or, will the computer basically have two operating systems that I have to go back and forth from.  Is this something a novice like myself can do?

  • How do I unactivate after hard drive crash?

    Just purchased an upgrade to CS6 Photoshop from CS3 Photoshop but hard drive crashed before I could uninstall it. How do I deactivate after hard drive crash? Do I need to or can I just load my full CS3 copy and then upgrade it to my new CS6?

    You can just install CS6 directly.  You will be prompted to enter your qualifying serial number from CS3 during the install process.

  • After hard drive crash, Pages app brought over, and upgrade to snow leopard installed, Pages would not launch.  Re-downloaded the 3.0.3 update and Pages launched, but will not open any documents or start new document.

    After a hard-drive crash, Pages application was brought over from the old hard drive, and upgraded to snow leopard.  However, Pages would not launch.  I do not have the disks and the computer was given to me by my son with iWork 08 installed, so I do not have the ability to re-install using Purchases.  I re-installed the update 3.0.3, which I already had, but thought it worth a try.  That enabled Pages to launch, but it will not open a new or old document.  I can see in preview the document, but it will not open.  Any suggestions besides repurchasing Pages.  I've just put out a lot of money for a new hard drive and retrieval of apps and docs from the old hard drive and would like not to have to put more money in it. 
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    You can not simply drag over Pages, particularly if it was perhaps damaged in a crash.
    As it was only Pages '08 it may be time to upgrade to Pages '09 from the App Store. It is not that expensive and will allow you to install it on any Mac sharing the same Apple I.D. and protect you from a repeat of this problem.
    There are free alternatives to Pages if you are hard strapped, it depends on what you are using Pages for, it is not the only option by far.

  • Syncing iPhone with Outlook 2007 after hard drive crash.

    I recently had a hard drive crash.  We were able to retrieve the .pst files for Outlook 2007 and I sync my iPhone with Outlook for contacts, calendar and such for business.  The iPhone of course, was not affected.  I downloaded iTunes on the new hard drive, and backed up the phone.  (I sync music and apps on my husband's laptop.) 
    Now, in trying to sync, though, I get a lot of nebulous messages that really don't explain what the outcome will be. 
    Box says:
    The information on the iPhone "Susan's iPhone" is synced with another user account.  Do you want to sync this iPhone with the information from this user account instead?
    (Choices:  "Merge Info mergest th einformation on this iPhone with the information from this user account.  OR "Replace Info" replaces the information on this iPhone with the information from this user account.  )
    My best guess would be 'Merge info" but then, will I end up with double everything?  I have many hundreds of contacts and years of calendars.
    It seems with Apple I'm always cleaning up one mess after another.  Today when installing iTunes, it corrupted my Outlook and I had to repair Outlook. So it would be a nightmare to have double of everything on my phone and on my computer. 
    Does anyone have a clue as to what to expect? 

    On a PC with Windows or with Paralels iTunes 8.2 has an option for Outlook which works with Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 (if it works - see my post on a case where it doesn't ...)

  • Time Machine after hard drive crash

    Recently, my MacBook's hard drive crashed. Fortunately, I had most of my data backed up via Time Machine. So, once Apple installed a new hard drive, I "restored all" with Time Machine. Now when I launch Time Machine, my archive only goes back a few days, to when I initially "restored all" -- before, my archives went back to November. Where did all of my backups go? How can I get them to show up in Time Machine?

    when TM does the first backup after a full system restore it sometimes does a complete (or nearly complete) backup. This happened to me once. this creates a big space demand to accommodate that backup and if there is not enough space TM will start deleting old backups to create space. To check this open TM drive in finder, go to Backups.backupdb->computer-name folder. all available backups will be listed there chronologically. how far back does it go?

  • Deactivation of product after hard drive crashes

    My hard drive crashed and I didn't have a chance to de-activate my Adobe photoshop Elements2.0
    after installing a new hard drive, installing windows 8.1, I began to re-install the software. I installed
    Photoshop2.0, upon installations I opened the software and proceeded to register it with the company.
    It told me that it was already registered, do I need to de-activate this serial number? if so how do I do
    this? How can I keep this software working as a valid part of my photo editing?
    Thank you. dan

  • How to install Creative Cloud on any drive other than my System drive...

    You are now chatting with 'Bhagawan'
    Bhagawan: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
    Bhagawan: Hi Steve
    Steve: It appears CC installs on my system drive without asking me. The way I manage my system - this is not acceptable. So, how do I install on the drive I install all my other apps?
    Bhagawan: I understand that you want to install Creative Cloud desktop app. Am I correct?
    Steve: On a particular drive - not my system drive.
    Steve: CC, Photoshop, etc.
    Bhagawan: I will be glad to check and help you with this issue.
    Bhagawan: Steve, creative cloud desktop app can be install only on C drive, but other apps you select for other drive.
    Steve: My C: drive is dedicated to my OS only.
    Steve: It is a special drive that will not work for very long if software companies put their programs on it till it fills up and then everything stops.
    Steve: Didn't Adobe think of this?
    Steve: I have one computer that only has a few MBs left of C:. What do I do on that computer?
    Steve: "left on C:"
    Bhagawan: Give me a minute.
    Bhagawan: Thank you.
    Bhagawan: Steve, I'm really sorry, creative cloud desktop app will be installed on C Drive, since the operating system is installed, but other Creative Cloud apps can be installed other Drive and depends on file size.

    I had the same problem and finally solved it.
    It is "funny" that CC doesn't ask you where to install apps. Or better to say, it asks you but doesn't care. In Creative Cloud desktop app/Preferences there is option to choose where you want apps to be installed, but they are still installed in C:/Program Files/....
    How to install apps on secondary drive in just 3 steps:
    1. Go to page Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links – Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools and download all apps that you will need.
    2. Once downloaded, install it. During installation you will be asked where you want app to be installed (just like in any other "normal" installation)
    3. Be happy
    Hope I helped

  • After hard drive crash I needed to authorise my pc again. itunes tells me iphone cannot sync as pc not authorised. when I try to authorise the pc, itunes tells me pc is already authorised... what can i do?

    After a recent hard drive crash I needed to authorise my pc again. I first de-authorised all previous computers (there was no other option)
    Then I authorised the pc with the new hard drive.
    then I tried to sync
    Then itunes tells me iphone cannot sync as pc not authorised.
    when I try to authorise the pc, itunes tells me pc is already authorised...
    I have been playing this game 10 times now ... "cannot sync because pc not authorised" and then "cannot authorise as already authorised"
    what can i do?
    thanks

    yes, a few times. the number of authorised computers decreases and increases from zero to one and vice versa accordingly. yet I am still being told that it cannot sync.

  • Recovering backed up iPhoto contents after hard drive crash

    Our hard drive crashed two weeks ago, but we had used apple's Backup program, to back up everything on our external hard drive. Now we have the new hard drive installed, and I tried to recover our iPhoto library. When I opened up iPhoto for the first time, it said that I needed to upgrade, so I did. Now, I can see all of my original albums listed, but when all that appears in the right window is a square with a dotted line along it. When I double click that frame, I get a black box with an exclamation point in in.
    In trying to restore things, I dragged the folders from my house icon on the external hard drive, into the new house icon. For example, I dragged our Pictures file into the new house icon, and apparently replaced the one that was there.
    Please help. It will be tragic if we can't recover our photos.

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.
