If you mean you are getting a warning about having too many activations, you need to contact activation support:

There's usually a place in that window where you can start a chat session and get it straightened out right then.

Hello,
the way is written there Activation & deactivation help >>> (see there only to understand the procedure) Common activation problems >>> "Activation limit reached for [product]. This serial number has already been activated on 2 computers." "Maximum activations exceeded."
>>> How to deactivate or sign out >>> A single license for Adobe software lets you install the applications on two computers—for example, at home and at the office. However, you can use the software on only one computer at any given time.
If you want to install the software on a third computer, deactivate the software on the computer on which you will no longer use the software. Then, activate the software on the new computer.

I need help activating serial number on a new computer after deactivation from an old computer

I deactivated and checked the box for remove entire product from my old computer and now the serial number is saying it is not valid when I try to use it on my new computer even after registering it, any ideas?

I am beginning to think that this is the issue - i have downloaded the CC version - why are they not the same serial number. ALSO Adobe is really hard to navigate - i can't even find the stand alone version to download.
The CC version doesn't use a serial number. Is activated with your Adobe ID and password. And it's all tied to your account being paid current. Other than that, the programs are the same. You have been provided the link to the standalone installation in the comment above this one.

Syncing with a new computer, with access to the old one

Hi
I think the answer to this question is somewhere in the reems of discussions here, but I can't seem to find it.
I have a Mac and an Airbook, but I am about to lose access to the Mac. I have sync'd my iPhone and iPad to the Mac, and now need to sync them to my Airbook instead.
In simple terms, how do I do this without losing any of my photos/music/books etc?
Any help gratefully recieved
Thanks
Liz

Activate photoshop in new computer without deactivating in the old one?

Hello,
My old computer is dead and I need to activate photoshop in my new computer without having deactivated in the old one. Do anybody know how to do it?

You are allowed to have two activated installations, so if you only ever had the one then there is nothing to keep you from activating a new installation. If you would like to free up the inaccessible activation then you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.
For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

My playlist didn't show up on new laptop after copying from the old laptop

What can I do when my playlists didn't show up on new laptop after copying from the old one?

I just simply copy only the whole iTunes music folder to my external hard drive, that's it and it goes good. That way if you just copy the whole iTunes folder it also carries along with it all it's subfolders. If subfolders aren't carried over you may end up with a library with missing album arwork. Album artwork, iTunes media folder, itunes previous libraries, itunes XML folders etc., etc. You get the picture.
Yes.
This is much better way than changing the media folder location.
Keep everything in the same iTunes folder.
However, when I do it this simple way as compared to the Apple way it doesn't save my play counts or ratings.
Since it is exactly the same library, everything should be the same.
Then just go to external drive click on iTunes folder and then in iTunes add folder to library and all your songs load up. This isn't moving the library but just backing it up.
You don't need to add anything.
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder you copied to the external.
You can delete then /Music/iTunes/ folder as this same folder was copied to the external and this is now your iTunes library.
You can also do this top make a backup of the iTunes library (thoug you should be making a backup (Time Machine or some other backup program) of yoru entire computer.

My ipod is not recognized on a new computer after old one crashed. I have painstakenly restored all songs and playlists. I deautorized all, and the reauthorized new computer. It won't sync.

My ipod is now recognized on a new computer after old one crashed. I installed itunes on the new computer, and have painstakenly restored all songs and playlists. I also purchased several new songs from the itunes stores. Now my ipod will not sync with the new computer. I deauthorized all computers, then reauthorozed the new one. My ipod still won't sync.

...after running diagnostics through itunes, itunes says "device not found" Seems there are a lot of others having this problem,and it seems to be related to new version of itunes. Apple should do something to fix this.
