Serialnumber disabled after switching to Mac from Win and back to Win.

Hello,
i first bought CS6 for Windows, than i switched to Mac.
I bought a new notebook today and wanted to install CS6 on Windows again, but the serialnumber is disabled.
Unfortunately, i didnt deactivate the serialnumber on my old PC and Mac. I just deleted it.
There is no chance to reinstall, because i sold them.
I was looking for some contact mail or whatever but there is only the chat, which is offline now.
Is there any contact mail or number for germany?
What is the problem with this company? I payed money for this and there is no chance to activate this in time?!

You could contact Adobe thru chat (it does work and is not offline) and ask them to reset your activations.

I switched to mac from PC and I'm not thinking it was a great idea....

I made the switch. I tiptoed into the mac world and bought a G5 Dual 2.0 w/ 2.5 RAM, etc... with Leopard 10.5.6 and all I get are kernal drops, loud fans in sleep mode, crashes, and circles of death. I really bought this G5 to do my Pro Tools and record music. I am a staff songwriter and I need this system to run without having to take it to the store every two days. My old Dell laptop still runs error free. I have taken to G5 to the Mac store where I bought it twice now (the first one had a bad logic board so they built me another one exactly the same)-and boy is it ever the same - *****! I've heard for years how Mac is more stable than PC and I want to believe it!! My foray into Mac has thus far been way less than desireable. If I can't get the MacStore where I bought it to get it running correctly, how am I supposed to. Maybe I am doing something wrong but I'm new at Mac and don't know but it shouldn't be this difficult - PC wasn't.

I'd suggest also using the Console app that's in /Applications/Utilities/ to check for any log files related to the kernel panics. The panic logs are accessible under /Library/Logs/PanicReporter and are named with a timestamp.
If you want to post some of these logs here, we might be able to help decipher them.
Did you install Leopard over the existing install, or did you do a clean install (erase the disk, then install the OS)? If you installed over the existing OS, and either it had corrupt files or disk errors, you may have made things worse.
Do you have any hardware connected to the computer other than a mouse, keyboard, and monitor?

I have made the switch to MAC from PC and I use Sony cameras/video recorders. I used the Sony PMB program to store all photos and videos. Now I need to transfer my photos and videos over to my MAC and I do not know how to do this as PMB is not supported

I need to transfer all my photos and videos from my old PC stored in the SONY PMB program to my new fabulous MAC desktop. I do not know how I can do this. Plus for future photos/videos, how can I upload them from Sony products ?
Please help me
PS I just purchased the computer yesterday so it has the most current operating system

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Do you know where the actual photo files are located on your laptop? If so, you can transfer them to the Mac over a LAN or by saving them to an external HDD, thumb drive or burning them to a disk. Then you can import the photos to the iPhoto app that came on your new Mac.
It would be the same process for the videos, however, it would depend what type of video files they are, as to which Mac app might allow you to view them.
BTW, since your Mac is new you need to Accept the iLife apps; iPhoto, GarageBand and iMovie into your Mac App Store/iTunes account. Open the MAS, sign into you account, go to the Purchased pane and accept the apps.

Switched to MAC from Windows

Help. I switched to MAC from Windows XP. I understand that you have to restore the settings so IPOD nano however by doing this it appears that I lose everything. How can I save all music that is saved to my NANO so I do not lose it?

If you moved all your data from your PC to your Mac, especially the music library for iTunes, then all you need to do is load your music into the Mac version of iTunes, re-create your playlists, and then connect the nano. The fact that the nano will be erased when you re-format it for Mac isn't a problem, providing you've already loaded your music into the Mac's iTunes. Once you reformat, you just sync with iTunes and all the music is put back on the nano.

Is there a setting on the iphone that will allow ical entries on the iphone to sink to my other computers
Thank-you

Welcome to the Apple community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Why have many of my add-ons and extensions been disabled after switching to firefox 6

Many of my add-ons and extensions have been disabled after switching to Firefox 6.
None of the Java extensions can be used;
my Microsoft frame is disabled;
my media player is gone;
and my google toolbar with all of my important bookmarks is missing.
How can Firefox 6 be considered an "upgrade"?
How can I '''retrieve Firefox 4 or 5'?''--there's no point in using a browser that limits so many necessary add-on sites!

Hi, mhaoo7--
Tried your plugins updating suggestion; no go.
Then tried updating to FF7.
This time the Yahoo! toolbar was no longer compatible with FF.
Scoured sites discussing problems with versions 6 & 7
and decided to retire to version 3.6.19.
Now both Google and Yahoo! toolbars are re-installed and
working....Only deficit may be that FF no longer supports or
soon will not support this version.
I have stashed all of my necessary bookmarks on Google's toolbar;
I like its drop-down menu as it doesn't change the page/window I'm
in the process of using;
I don't want to see that menu listed separately in a new window (too chaotic).
Same for the Google dictionary and Thesaurus, which are straightforward
and easy to use, again requiring nothing more complicated than a drop-down menu
to search for words and concepts.
--I checked Firefox 6 and 7's Dictionary/Thesaurus options but unfortunately
found none.
So if Firefox continues to upgrade with diminished returns, I'll likely have to go
to Google Chrome.
Would rather not do that.
Maybe I can keep FF 3.6.19 without incurring nasty repercussions.
Hope so.
Have enjoyed being with Firefox for a few years.
Thank you for your attention.

I just switched to Lion from SL, and am regretting it deeply, is there anyway to switch back to SL but still keep lion on your hard drive until you want it again?

I just switched to Lion from SL, and am regretting it deeply, is there anyway to switch back to SL but still keep lion on your hard drive until you want it again?
I hate to have paid for it and have it go away. Help please!

Start by creating a second partition on your hard drive:
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
Install Snow Leopard on the new partition:
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Be sure to choose your new partition as the target destination.
Download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 update. Any additional updates can be installed using Software Update.

Hey chukrking,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article provides relevant troubleshooting information for your issue:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147
USB printers and Bonjour-enabled network printers
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
1. Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
2. Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
3. Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
4. Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
5. Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
1. Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
2. If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
3. Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Operating system: how to switch CS6, LR from Win to Mac?

i have bought both cs6 and Lightroom in window environment , recently I plan to switch to Mac system. Please advice how to proceed with the migration. Thank you

CS6 for Windows requires a platform swap: Order product | Platform, language swap
You'll be issued a new Mac serial number and you won't be able to use your Windows serial number any more.
The serial number for Lightroom is multi-platform. Just download the Mac installer onto your Mac and enter your existing serial number.

Teacher switching to Mac from PC--but worried about difficulty transferring Microsoft Office files?

Hey everyone,
I'm a high school English teacher, and recently my PC at home died after only two years. I'm really wanting to switch over to Apple products, but I'm not sure about the combination of machines to buy and I'm concerned about how easily my 3,000+ Microsoft Office-based files I use every day at work will be transferred to a Mac. I'd really appreciate any advice you may have about your experience using both types of machines!
Issue #1: The first thing I'm unsure about is what combination of machines to buy from Apple. I absolutely am getting an iPad, for the portability and because I love my Iphone but want a larger interface on which to use my educational apps. However, I'm really torn between getting a Mac Pro desktop or the much smaller, much more expensive, but much more portable Macbook Pro laptop. My husband is a gamer (he loves Starcraft!) and his only criteria for our new machine is that it will play his games. Both the Mac Pro and Macbook Pro have the capabilities to play the graphics-heavy game, but I don't know if I want to go back to a desktop computer after having the easy of a laptop at home for two years. Any profession swear one way or the other? Please give me your reasons for your preference! I'd love to hear.
Issue #2: The other thing I'm nervous about is transferring all of the 3,000+ files from my school PC to a Macbook or Mac so I can work on them at home and not have to haul the PC to and from school. I've transferred what I could to Google Drive, but I'm not keen on switch over to Drive completely because it doesn't give me the flexibility that working with Word does. I'd like to know how the transition from PC to Mac is when it comes to Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Excel files, since I'll be creating them on the PC at school and continuing work on the Macbook or Mac Pro at home. Is it difficult transition? Please let me know...again, I appreciate your responses.
Thanks very much,
Mrs. Tripp

I think you should purchase the MacBook Pro, because as you stated you are accustomed to using a laptop, or if you would like a desk-top consider the iMac over the Mac Pro (To much for your needs). Both computers can handle your requirements regarding the MS Office files you would need to purchase the Mac version of MS Office.
Starcraft will work on a Mac, another option you have with a Mac, it is possible to run Windows via BootCamp or a software solution like Parallels Desktop and VMWare.

ServiceLayer.exe 100 % after switch off cable from...

Hi all
I have problem with Nokia PC Suite.
WinXP S2
Nokia PC Suite 6.84.10.3 cz
non-nokia cable ca42usb
Nokia 3220
After i switch off cable from my USB port servicelayer.exe take me 100 % of PC process. I must CTRL+ALT+DEL and shutdown this process.
I try all. Close Nokia PC Suite, install new driver for cable, off my Nokia.
Thanks. Steve

It's a bug in PC suite 6.84.
Hopefully it will be fixed in 6.85 when it is released.
6.83 works fine and is far more stable and reliable than 6.84.

Serialnumber disabled after switching to Mac from Win and back to Win.
