Transferring Ps CS6 Extended License to New Computer... Kind of a weird situation.

I was able to download Photoshop for free through school (Pratt) and never had to enter a serial key. I know, I don't understand how it worked either.
It was downloadable on their website for some reason. They have since taken down the download.
I am running a 2011 MacBook Pro and am upgrading tomorrow to a MacBook Pro Retina.
I would like to be able to use Photoshop on my new computer (as I am still in school), but the serial number provided in System Info is only 20 digits as opposed to 24.
I know that you can enter your serial number on your My Adobe page, to be able to use the license on a new computer. But it doesn't accept my 20 digit serial number.

All Adobe serial numbers are 24 digits.
The number shown by all installed Adobe applications on your computer are deliberately truncated to deter software piracy.

I upgraded my iMac and need to switch license to new computer without access to old computer?

I recently upgraded my iMac and had Photoshop CS6 migrated to my new computer. I'm unable to use photoshop now since I wasn't able to uninstall the software on the old computer. How can I switch my license from one computer to the next without access to the old computer or the access code?

If you bought it from Adobe, your serial number should be under the Adobe ID you used to buy it. Even if you did not get it from Adobe, if it was registered with Adobe, the serial number would be under "My Products" including the serial number of the product you upgraded from.
You can download the CS6 installer from here: Download CS6 products

Downloading Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended License with no internet connection

My office needs to purchase four (4) Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Licenses for four separate/independent computers. These computers in no way can access the internet to download.
I am told by resellers that CD disks are not available for the download, is this correct?
Also, the resellers are telling me that I can purchase a media kit for the download. My question is can 1 media kit complete all four downloads or would I be required to purchase 4 media kits. We are receiving different responses from the resellers we have contacted.
Appreciate your time,

You can download and burn the trial of Photoshop CS6 to disc or you can purchase one physical copy of the software. The installer does not count how many times you install. The serial number you receive with your purchase is what allows you to license and utilize your software.

I have just transferred my itunes account to a new computer and when i try to sync , I get a 'this ipod is synced with another itunes library ,do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this itunes library.will answering 'yes' erase what i currently have on my ipod.i'd like to get an ipad 3, if i cant sort out my account ,I'll get the galaxy note 10.1 !

"I have just transferred my itunes account to a new computer and when i try to sync , I get a 'this ipod is synced with another itunes library ,do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this itunes library"
Correct.
"will answering 'yes' erase what i currently have on my ipod"
Yes.
If you copied everything from your old computer to your new one, as you should always do, then the content will be put right back when you sync.
"i'd like to get an ipad 3, if i cant sort out my account ,I'll get the galaxy note 10.1 !"
OK. We are all itunes users like you. You threat of buying a different device means nothing here.

I've downloaded two adobe cs6 files to a new computer. How do I activate photoshop with these files?

I've downloaded two adobe cs6 files to a new computer. How do I activate photoshop with these files?

i said the 2nd file name you listed in message 6 was incorrect, not the file name in message 8.
but if the file name message 8 is correct, both names in message 6 are incorrect. or you just might have a typo for the first file name.
in any case, make sure both file names are exactly the same but have different (a 7z and an exe) extensions, put both in the same directory and then click the exe.

Transfer cs6 that was purchased from volume licenser to new computer

Installing CS6 Extended on a New MAC i've purchased.

I think I already know the answer to my question, but I recently I ventured into a MAC system and have already installed CS6 extended on 2 seperate windows based machines at home , Can I install this version on my Mac also ?If not how do I set about purchasing a MAC os version from Adobe ?

There are two things working against your first diea...
1) You are only allowed to install/activate on two machines, so adding it to a third won't work without deactivating one of the others.
2) PC software versions cannot be installed on Macs, and vice versa.
If you want to purchase a new license for CS^ for a Mac you should be able to find whatever CS6 you are talking about at the page linked below...

How do I move PS CS6 from old to new computer?

I am getting a new computer specifically for photo editing. I have Photoshop Extended CS6 Student Teacher Ed, Windows 7. I would like to know how to move my software to the new computer without purchasing it again. I do still have my product code, redemption code, and serial number.
Thank you

You may have CS6 activated on two computers at any one time. Load it onto your new computer using the discs or from here: Download CS6 products. Now enter your serial number. Now go to Help>Deactivate on your old system to free up that activation.
And here is the latest update for CS6: Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop 13.0.1.3 update for CS6. Apply this after installing.

Can I activate Adobe with same license on new computer if old computer crashed?

My work computer, which had Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium installed on it, recently crashed. I now have a new computer so I am trying to figure out if I can deactivate the license from the old computer and use it for the new one. I've tried calling Adobe but keep getting put on hold. Thanks for any help!

You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines, so there is no need to wait to talk to anyone to get the new machine working. You can still get the crashed machine deactivated if you like by contacting Adobe Support by chat or phoine.

I HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRING MY ITUNES/IPOD TO A NEW COMPUTER WHICH HAS ALL WORKED EXCEPT MY OLD LIBRARY, PLAYLISTS ETC SHOW UNDER MY IPOD ON THE NEW COMPUTER BUT NOTHING IS IN THE NEW LIBRARY - HOW DO I GET IT THERE?

How do you get everything off the ipod into Library on new laptop & free up the space that was used when transferring (using ipod as hard drive to move over to new computer)? Also when try to sync music a box pops up saying are you sure as everything on the ipod will be removed & replaced with the items in the library but at the moment there's nothing in the library so don't want to lose everything?! Thanks for your help

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Problem with serial number while reinstalling CS6 Design Standard on new computer

I have a new Computer (Windows 8) and am now trying to install my Adobe Design Standard CS 6.
I bought that suite and installed it sucessfully on my old computer in Jan 13 as an Upgrade to Adobe Design Standard CS 5.5 (which was also an Upgrade Version from another Adobe Product).
When beginning the installation on my new computer today , I was asked for my serial number. The serial number for my Adobe Design Standard CS6 was accepted, however, that is only an Upgrade Version.
As the Product I'm upgrading from I chose the option Adobe Design Standard CS5.5 and gave my serial number for that product.
Then I got the message: 'Diese Seriennummer gilt nicht für ein kompatibles Produkt. Geben Sie eine andere Seriennummer ein', which means translated: This serial number is not valid for a compatible Produkt. Give another serial number.
I don't know why my Adobe Design Standard CS6 should not be compatible to my Adobe Design Standard CS 5.5 and I don't have another serial number.
Could you help me with this problem?
Regards
Eva

I transferred all my music to my new computer, went to sync my iphone and the music library won't sync. It's like it's leaving the old library on and trying to add a duplicate one, keeps saying there isn't enough room. Help please?

Everything from my old computer is still in the music portion of my phone, I don't know how but it hasn't synced that part. I went through and edited the new library and there are fewer songs, it's telling my I don't have enough room on my phone. This is impossible when it is less music than I am currently holding. How do I get it to delete the old information and put on the new library?

How exactly was the music transferred to the new computer?
The correct way is to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. If it was transferred properly there are no issues with syncing to the iOS device.
