Trouble activating photoshop 8 that came with creative suite 1

I cannot activate photoshop 8 on my new computer. On line activation says call, phone number says phone activation no longer supported. Chat says I need to seek help on the forum.
How do I activate my creative suite before my 30-day period (23 remaining) expires?

You will not be able to activate your CS1 as there is no longer an activation server supporting it.  See the following if you would be happy with using CS2 instead...

  • I can't download the software that came with my ipod

    I'm having trouble downloading the software that came with my photo ipod 20G even though i have windows 2000 professional. It comes up with a message when the cd starts loading saying that i need a higher form of windows. I think it might have something to do with the SP4 business but I don't even know what that means, let alone how to find out whether or not I have it. And if i don't, does anyone know how i could and would it be as difficult as changing to windows XP. (My mum said it cost her $1300 changing it at work)
    Thanks

    You can download the software here...

    But, I am not sure how that helps since you need the admin password...

    I just purchased a camera packaged with Adobe photoshop Elements 11. I have a mac book air- which does not have a cd drive. The package did not come with a code or anything that would provide me with another way to install photoshop that came with my camera. Is there any other way i can install this on my camera without using the provided cd or buying the software again?

    That doesn't help the user with the serial code though.
    There has to be some kind of code somewhere within the package. The disk itself does not contain one. You can look here for help with finding your serial number:

  • TS2198 ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working, then disappeared from the computer, from the desktop where I have been using it for the past two years, without trouble, then from the list of applications. . .

    ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working. When I pulled the icon from the desktop, it then disappeared from the computer.I have been using it from the desktop for the past two years, without trouble. It has uninstalled itself, without my intervention and has eradicated all traces of it, including all my entries from the computer memory. There is no program in the applications list. Can you say why this may have happened please?

    I opened one of the .calendar folders. There was a folder named Events which had either one or some files ending .ics. I opened several of these, which put up a dialogue window showing some parameters with data strings attached as follows :-

  • Where can I go to download the original drivers & mediasource that came with my Zen Xt

    I keep getting errors when trying to transfer all my songs from my Zen Xtra to my PC when using both Mediasource 5, Sync Manager and Nomad Explorer. Creative say it is because I'm still running on the original firmware and would need to upgrade. However - doing so will delete all my songs!
    It worked fine when I transferred using my original drivers and organiser that came with the player however I have lost the disc (!!!). Does anyone know where I can download them? There is only updated software on the creative downloads page.
    My Vision M comes tomorrow and I can't get my songs off my Zen for it!
    Thanks very much for helping.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • Droid RAZR HD won't charge with either cable that came with the new phone.

    My RAZR HD will not charge using either of the USB charging cords that came with the phone and I have tried several different USB/wall type adapters.  I have to use a generic charger (not a USB cord, just a straight outlet to phone type).  The data cable that connects the phone to my laptop works so it doesn't seem like it is a connection problem.  Is anyone else having this trouble?

    Thank you for the reply.  After much trial and error I finally discovered
    that the USB/outlet adapter cannot be plugged into any type of outlet
    adapter (like converting two outlets to 4 or 6 in a wall outlet), extension
    cord, or power strip/bar to function.  It must be plugged directly into the
    wall socket (or computer) in order to charge.

  • I have a mac pro 2007 model. It appears I have a corrupted sector on my the hadrive tha has my operating system. If I use the install disk that came with is (Tiger) can I still get my lion back.

    I have mac pro 2007 model given to me, I updated it to lion about six months ago, and I do not have a time machine.
    Lion stopped loading before I get to the login screen,
    I tried all the tips, doing a option/shift/v. I noticed several fsk_dsk errors that it could not fix on my boot drive.
    Restore would not work either. The only physical copy I have is the install disk that came with the mac. I think it is Tiger.
    If I put this operating system on will I be abel to upgrade it to lion, and if so will I have to pay again?

    The Lion Recovery Partition has its own index. Your Macintosh HD partition is the one with the troubles.
    If Disk Utility cannot fix it, you may need to apply different Utilities, such as Disk Warrior.
    Some readers suggest that the best disk repair is to erase the drive and restore it from your Backups.
    This might be a good time to consider getting a new drive to have on hand. This would allow you flexibility in copying, fixing, and (if needed) replacing the drive with the problems.

  • If you dont have the sim card that came with the iphone and you resync it how do you get it to turn back on .?

    if you dont have the sim card that came with the iphone and you resync it how do you get it to turn back on .?

    You have been syncing the iPhone with iTunes on your computer without a SIM card inserted in the iPhone for how long?
    If the iPhone says connect to computer, this means there is a problem with your iPhone that requires restoring the iPhone with iTunes. As already provided, not having a SIM card inserted in an iPhone does not prevent or shouldn't prevent syncing the iPhone with iTunes. Depending on the iPhone model, it is required in order to restore the iPhone with iTunes.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3406
    To re-activate an iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS that displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen:
    Insert a SIM card from the carrier with which you used your phone. Note: If you are using the same carrier, you can use the activated SIM card from your new device to do this. If your device is unlocked by your carrier, you can use any SIM card.
    Connect the iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
    iTunes will then activate the device. You can remove the SIM card at this point and use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.

  • I just replaced my hard drive and am trying to install the Snow Leppard OS on my Mac mini using the DVD's that came with the unit. Is there a step by step procedure that will guide me through this process?

    I just replaced my hard drive due to failure in my Mac mini. I am trying to load the Snow Leppard OS from the DVD's that came with the unit. Is there a step-by-step procedure somewhere that would help me? This is my first problem with my first Mac. I thought getting to the hard drive and changing it would be the hard part but I made it through that with little trouble. My lack of software experience on the Mac is really slowing me down. I believe I'm not making the right choices in the Disk Utility program.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Prep the new drive:
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Upon completion quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X. When the installation has completed you can proceed to restore your data from your backups. If you have an existing backup from Time Machine or another hard drive then upon completing the Setup Assistant you will have an option to restore from another Mac, a TM backup, or another drive. Use the appropriate option.

  • Not possible to start applications that came with X-FI Plati

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with all the Creative software that came with my new X-FI Platinum (that i bought today). Whenever i start an application (like audio console or THX console) i get an error message that no compatible audio devices are found on my system. I've installed my X-FI with the CD that came with the product, and also tried to update my Audio card to the latest available drivers.. i even tried th new X-Fi drivers from Windows update
    Before this card a used an Audigy 2 SZ (which worked perfect btw, but i want to move to Vista soon so that why i bought the X-FI), which i de-installed properly and removed all software before installing the X-Fi.
    Could it be that there are leftovers somewhere that conflict with the X-Fi Creative software suite?.
    I hope someone can help me out.
    To summ up what system i have:
    Intel Core 2 duo @ 2.4ghz (E6600)
    Asus P5W DH deluxe MB/ Bios 707
    2048Mb Mem
    nvidia 8800GTS
    Aegea PhysX card
    WinXp sp2
    Directx 9c (june 2007)
    Thanks, Ramses

    Ok.. apparently the driver which i downloaded from Creative was somehow not compatible with the applications.. i removed all apps and driver and sweeped my system with driver cleaner.. also de-installed the F-XI from hardware manager.. reinstalled all apps + driver from the installation CD and now it works.. Creative apparently uploaded a driver to my region (europe/netherlands)which is not suitable for the X-FI platinum.

  • Keeps asking me for serial number when starting up program and when entered it tells me it's not a valid serial number, but it's the one that came with my software

    I purchased CS6 Design and Web Premium through the Department of Education Australia just over a year ago and now I can no longer access my software. It keeps asking me for my serial number, but when I enter the serial number that came with the product it tells me it is invalid???

    Check with the school to make sure the licensing should still be valid.  Some school make arrangements only for temporary licensing.
    You can also try checking with Adobe Support thru chat.
    For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

  • OS X 10.4 on a 2008 mac book pro that came with 10.5.5

    Beginning to think about moving from my eMac.
    Now that Marathon has moved along,
    the only thing I want to bring along is Photoshop 7.0
    which runs on OS X 10.4.11 at the latest.
    Currently, I have a firewire hard disk with a 10.4.11 and 10.5.8 volume.
    I boot into 10.4.11 when I want to use Photoshop.
    I might inherit a 2008 mac book pro that came with 10.5.5 installed.
    Any way to get it to boot into a 10.4.11 volume?
    never hurts to ask
    If so, which Tiger disk do I need to scrounge up?
    My Tiger disk is PPC only.

    Previous version of OSX cannot be installed.
    Best.
