Unable to deactivate PhotoshopCC because I deleted it due to corruption.

How do I deactivate it so I can reload it on the same computer, a PC running Window7

Chris,
Thank you soooo much for this.  I had tried it a couple of times before but it wouldn’t download, just got an error message that it could not download. It may have been because I tried to do the update a couple of times and message was it could not find the program.  Maybe I should have shut down and started again.  This time it worked!  I use PhotoshopCC every day for about 3 or 4 hours so I am so happy to have it back.
Thanks again
Marj

  • My 16gb Iphone 4 says my storage is full and wont let me download apps etc, but I only have 6 apps, 108 pictures, and 30 songs because I deleted everything due to it, but it still says storage full?

    i've literally tried everything, I would restart it but I have valuble pictures and i can't do a backup because the same problem will happen.

    HI Shelby,
    It sounds like your available free space is not reporting properly. I would start by quitting the Settings app:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting 
    If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works. 
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • HT3275 Why does Time Machine say it's unable to back up because the disk is full -- even tho it's supposed to delete the oldest backups when that happens?

    I'm running OS 10.6.8 on an imac from around 2011.  I back up with Time Machine to an external hard drive that has about 500 GB.  Until now, I've had no problemsm, or at least that's what I thought.  But today I'm getting a message every hour saying "Time machine is unable to back up because the disk is full."  It IS full, but Time Machine is supposed to delete the oldest backups when that happens, and keep deleting them in order.
    Anyway, when I opened up my backup disk I discovered backups from February and most of March, nothing in April and nothing in May.
    I'm a little freaked.
    Does anybody know why that would happen and what to do about it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello, I don't use TM, but...
    Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?

    Can't imagine something not being covered there.

    Every time I sign in, it signs me out immediately. I've tried deleting the opm file and it's unable to do so because "Adobe CC is currently running this file." I've also changed my LAN settings and downloaded something else that was supposed to help me out but nothing seems to fix the problem.

    I think you'll find that the official Adobe advice here is misguided.  First, deleting bits of the program and program data is, as you've noted, perilous and often impossible.  Shame on Adobe for doing such a poor job of coding that such steps are needed.
    The solution I recommend is as follows:
    Restart your Windows machine and boot in "Safe Mode" with networking using the F8 key just as Windows starts.
    Go to the Control Panel and select Programs. Find and Uninstall "Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop". 
    Reinstall it by downloading it from the website  https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
    Restart your machine.
    Only in "Safe Mode" are you likely to be able to accomplish these tasks reliably.

  • Unsolved: unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document

    I'm trying to open a presentation I made some time ago, it is a .key file I used to open without any problems. Now the message appears:
    "Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document".
    I tried the solution described here, but it didn'd work: i change extension to .zip, unzip it and there is no index file. There are only pictures from the presentation in .tiff
    I also sent the file to my friends and they had the same problem opening it. It's very strange, I've successfully opened it before. And the problem is only with THIS file!
    Please help me out!

    Have you tried to create a new Keynote Presentation? Do you have another previously saved Keynote file you can try to open? These will make sure it is a problem with this specific presentation and not the whole program.
    Try to delete the Keynote Preferences. They are located in the folder Macintosh HD>Users>your username>Library>Preferences and titled com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist.
    Your profile shows that you are still on Mc OS 10.6.6, is that true? You might try to update to 10.6.7 as I believe that there was a font issue fixed in this update (I don't know for sure since I am still on 10.5.8).
    Try those and report back and we will see what we can come up with.

  • URGENT - Error "Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document" - and there is no index file (so the usually suggested solution doesn't work)

    Hi there,
    As you see in the heading, I am getting the error "Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document". There has been a number of threads on this and there seems to be a usual work around that works in many cases, by changing the file extension to .zip and then looking for the index file and making some more extension changes...unfortunately, in my case (and it also happened to others), there is no index file, so the usually suggested solution doesn't work...Can someone please help? I am working on a tight deadline and would like to try and recover the file.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Best,
    Just a regular apple user
    PS: any other presentation opens fine in Keynote (09)

  • Unable to deactivate and activate Adobe Creative Suite

    Hi,
    I was unable to deactivate my latest installation of Creative Suite because my hard drive crashed. Now, with a new hard drive, I am unable to activate my copy of the product because I have reached the activation limit.
    I need help with deactivating the copy which was on the spoilt hard drive.
    I have tried many times and failed to contact Adobe via live chat, because I am never able to get through with an available agent. Also, I cannot seem to find any Adobe Customer Care email address, or any number to call (I live in Singapore), or any other portal by which I can reach Adobe.
    I have had this dragging for weeks and I am getting quite impatient about this matter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You have to use the web chat. TRhere is no way around it, as annoying as it may be.

  • Unable to deactivate adobe pro X

    Hello.  I am unable to deactivate adobe pro X because there is no deactivate option under the help menu.

    When you're trying to deactivate the program do you have a active document on screen or are you trying to accomplish the task on the opening splash screen? You have to have a document active in order for "Deactivate" to appear under the Help Menu.

  • Unable to sign in because of a problem communicating with iCloud.

    About 2 weeks ago this error popped-up at random. Since then I have not been able to sign-in to iCloud or download applications from the Apps store.  The same AppleID (and password) works fine on my iPad for iCloud and the App store for iPad.  Obviously I would like to try and upgrade my OS to see if that might fix the problem, but I can't because I can't download anything from the App store.  Please advise.  I haven't installed any software on this computer in ages so there were no changes to the computer prior to the error message popping up.  Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try the following.
    1. Sign out of your account
    (If you are unable to do this because System Preferences has frozen, Force Quit System Preferences and try again)
    2. When prompted, opt to delete, contacts, calendars etc from your Mac.
    (You are only deleting this data from your Mac, not from iCloud, the data will be reinstated when you log back in. If you need to check that the data is in iCloud before deleting it go to iCloud.com and check each section for data)
    3. Having logged out, check that the iCloud accounts along with their data have disappeared from the Mail, Address Book and iCal Applications.
    (If necessary, delete the iCloud accounts from each of these application separately from each Applications Preferences)
    4. At this point it may be worth trying to log into iCloud from the System Preferences iCloud settings again, if this works, all well and good, if it doesn't continue to step 5.
    5. Open your User Library folder in the Finder. (When in the Finder, go to the Go menu, hold down the option key (alt) and choose Library when it appears in the Go menu)
    6. Navigate to Library > Application Support > iCloud and drag the iCloud folder to your desktop. (This action only copies the folder and will provide you with a back up)
    7. Select the iCloud folder again in Library > Application Support and drag it to the trash, enter your administrators password when prompted.
    8. Restart your computer.
    9. You should now be able to enter your ID and Password in system Preferences > iCloud and log into your account. Check the services you wish to use and once you are satisfied it's working as it should, trash the iCloud folder you copied to your desktop earlier.

  • Unable to initialize Photoshop because the preferences file has been removed

    Hello
    After a week without using photoshop, I can no longer open it. As soon as I try this message appears: "Unable to initialize Photoshop because the preferences file has been removed."
    So, I went to look for this preferences file that I've never deleted and I can't find it.
    I tried to reset photoshop with keyboard shortcuts preferences,  it does not work. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the software, it does not work either.
    What else could I do ...?
    Thank you for your help.

    Seems odd that such a problem would crop up on its own.  That kind of sounds like a registry or permissions problem.  What other things did you do with the computer between the time it worked and it didn't?
    And if you're willing to uninstall / reinstall to try to recover operation, it might be prudent to try the Adobe cleaner tool to really be sure you've uninstalled everything...

  • Our computer died the other day. I was therefore unable to deactivate it. How do I reinstall it when I get the new desktop?

    Because our desktop computer died several days ago, I was obviously unable to deactivate Photoshop 6. Once I get the new desktop, how do I go about re-installing it?

    You can activate on up to 2 computers. If you have not used up the second activation, you can go ahead and install/activate on the new one and call Customer Service to release or reset your activations.

  • I am getting disc full messages on my Mac, unable to empty trash because not enough space, how do I proceed or do I need to increase my 4gig of memory

    I am getting disc full messages on my Mac, unable to empty trash because not enough space, how do I proceed or do I need to increase my 4gig of memory in which case how do I go about this process.

    You are confusing RAM (Random Access Memory) with hard drive data storage space.
    Your hard drive storage is getting too full if you can't empty your Mac's main trash.
    Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
    You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER
    With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
    If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    ( as you mentioned, you can't empty this as your hard drive is too full.)
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
    STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

  • HT204085 Unable to sign in because of a problem communicating with iCloud

    After the newest update, my iMac will not let me sign in to iCloud.  This is the error it reads:  Unable to sign in because of a problem communicating with iCloud.  Both my iPhone and iPad are fine, just not on iMac.  Can't find any help! 

    I had the same problem. I've even tried reinstalling osx.
    the solution is to delete
    NetworkInterfaces.plist
    in
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
    then reboot. The file is recreated and iCloud works again.

    I am unable to download apps because my iOs is not up to date. No update shows up in my General settings, how do I update my iPad?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you are updating using wifi, locate your iPad close to your router so you don't get a wifi dropout (can cause update corruption).
