Trying to download Photoshop CS6 on a new HP convertible laptop with Windows 8.1

Hi,
I purchased Photoshop CS6 a couple years back before CC was released. I just had to get a new computer because Best Buy majorly screwed up a simple repair on mine, and they junked my old computer and gave me a new one. It's a convertible HP running Windows 8.1. I'm trying to download and install CS6, but it isn't working. I've spent quite a few hours trying to figure this out, but nothing I'm doing seems to be working. This is what I've tried:
     -First I downloaded the files from this page Download CS6 products and it looked like it started the setup and then the window went away and I couldn't find anything to get the process going again. I tried this twice, wasting 2-3 hours waiting for the files to download.
     -Then I found this page Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps where it said if I download the Creative Cloud for desktop thing I would be able to download a previous version of Photoshop. Well, all that happened with this is that I now have a 30-day free trial of CC and the       only previous versions of programs available to download are Edge Animate and Gaming SDK. So yet another dead end.
I know it might probably be easier to just give in and go with CC but there's no way I can afford paying a subscription (I'm a recent college grad with student loans just starting to come due this month, living with my parents, and getting paid minimum wage). And I'm too stubborn to give up because I paid for CS6 and I should be able to use it. Because of that I can't/won't concede, and I'm asking you guys for help since apparently I'm not allowed to talk to customer service. I don't mean that I don't think you guys will be helpful, it's just incredibly irritating that I can't talk to customer support about this problem. So if you guys can't help me I'll be forced to find some other program that will suit my needs. So if anyone has any ideas that will help me download Photoshop CS6, please let me know and I will be eternally grateful!!
Thanks a million,
StoopidStephi

First thing to do is get the CC off your system.  Then try the direct download option linked below...
You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

    After 6 tries to load Photoshop CS6 on my new laptop, I keep getting the following message after I enter my valid serial number: "Serial number you provided is valid but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."  What I'm, trying to do is download the qualifying product which I purchased just a year ago?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I contacted Adobe support Chat and they confirmed the serial number and gave me a response code number to enter. Once that was entered the product downloaded immediately. The whole process took 10 minutes.  Thank you for your response. I'm all good now.

    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • I am on a mac trying to download ff install to a flashdrive for a friend with windows - his browser is inop, so he needs to install ff to access the net.

    friends wireless internet connection is OK but after updating explorer to 8 his browser went dead. Now he has a good wireless connection but no browser to act as interface. If I could download firefox install program to a flash drive and copy to his workstation the problem would be solved.
    My problem is; Mozilla download page sees my mac and only allows me to download a mac version. A choice before downloading a version might be nice. How can he access the net without a browser.

    Thanks T... Believe this will help my friend. Friends helping friends; I think that's a good thing :) Good God - Good forum. Blessings to all!

  • I cannot download Photoshop CS6 from the cloud

    I had a beta version of Photoshop CS6 on my Macbook (OS X 10.7.4) and forgot to uninstall it before downloading Photoshop CS6 through the Adobe Application Manager. When I tried to download Photoshop CS6 I received an error message in the Adobe Application Manager that read "A beta version of this product exists on the computer. Please quit and uninstall that version before continuing."
    I clicked 'Cancel' then quit the Application manager and uninstalled the beta version that I had. I also used spotlight to find any other files that went with the beta verision I had and then trashed all of the files, emptied the trash and restarted my computer.
    After doing all of that I've tried numerous times to download Photoshop CS6 but I keep getting the error message that I still have a beta version of Photoshop CS6 installed.
    I've searched my computer and cannot find any files that pertain to that beta application.
    I don't know what else to do and I REALLY need Photoshop CS6 asap.
    I'm not having any issues downloading the other CS6 applications through the App Manager, only Photoshop, which is the most iportnat program I need.

    Nevermind!
    I just found out about the 'Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool' and downloaded it and ran the tool. Thankfully it found a driver for Photoshop CS6 (beta) that was stilled installed on my computer. I was able to uninstall the driver and trash it. Right now Photoshop seems to be downloading successfully from the App manager. Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't run into any other issues!
    If anyone else is running into a similar issue that I was having download the 'Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool' and run it on your computer.
