Unable to register Photoshop Album Starter 3.2 via Cable

Hi,
Have tried to register 3.2 just abt all day today. I have a cable connection and have tried while on-line and off-line. Msg is the same: Internet send failed.
I tried the continuous clicking for 10 mins straight, to no avail.
Can't find my disc grandson used to install program so was unable to give the serial # when I called Adobe. It appears that their help centre is in India. Is the # at the end of the license the # I need?
Thanks for your help.

All Adobe Products Included: I have tried to ...Download readers, Install my purchased products, Find my Adobe files I backed up...Register Products, Sign In, Fast Adobe Connect, Adobe Online, Adobe.com and here is the only place I can manage to be and the only Feature of Adobe I can use as far as Adobe goes...I've only been able to use Acrobat 6.0 for the past year all because my Adobe download (resume getR/ Plus) Adobe 9 Reader can not install ,software doesn't work. My Internt connection sees Adobe as a virus or something. I can't create documents, open any thing but the pdf file that I miraculously got from the internet last week. I try to Update to a newer version and just abt ready at 99% the windowsxp pop up warning says it's not a valid win32 program...Isn't that just Adobe-rable? Well I don't care if anyone reads this or not because I've nowhere to go with my Adobe products problems. I tried to insert a code for Adobe photoshop album 2 Starter Edition with the code I got in the email from Adobe Inc. just a few minutes ago...more like an hour...and guess what happen...right nothing. The code did not allow me the option to click the UNLOCK NOW button . ANYBODY Know what's up with that? Oh, one more thing... In my old acrobat 6.01 version,(nice to look at and be able to view all the unallowed properties) the Update option is useless. Nothing seems to work together! And yes, I have the latest Anti-virus software updates installed...the "purchased Full versions of it" I am tired and somewhat weakened by my trials and errors with usage of Adobe....and there is no solution anywhere that doesn't suggest a scan of my drive, to which (ain't goin' there) again.

  • Cannot register my Photoshop Album Starter Edition!

    Hi,
    I'm using your free software Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0, on Windows XP SP2 platform.
    I would like to register it, but each time I try I encounter the following problem:
    in the window "Status", after "Checking for Internet connection" and "Attempting to connect to Internet" dialog boxes, I receive the
    report "Unable to connect to site".
    What's happening? I use the broadband LAN Internet connection, so there can't be any problem with Internet access, even firewall is
    not "guilty" (I tried to switch it off, but the problem with registration persists).
    What should I do?

    If it's any help the thumbs.5.cache (at least in Windows XP) should be in:
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Catalog Folders\My PSE5 Catalog
    where My PSE5 Catalog is whatever your new PSE5 Catalog is called. It's a hidden
    sample folder so you need to enable seeing hidden files and folders to see it. Not sure about the tn.4.cache as a recent discussion here indicated that it's from an older version of Elements (PSE3) and PSE5 shouldn't have one. Renaming wouldn't help and might give problems. If you can't find the thumbs.5.cache it sounds like PSE5 is having trouble building it for some reason and I think I'd be contacting Adobe Tech Support.

    It is a common misconception that Starter Edition 'stores', or copies, your files into it. But the program does not move or copy files at all, rather it scans your system's My Pictures directory, and generates miniature versions of your pictures (called thumbnails) so that you can browse a 'flat' list of thumbnails of your photos, overcoming the inconvenience of having to go into separate folders in Windows Explorer to have to find files.The thumbnails, as well as any tags, and Albums that you create in Starter Edition are all stored in the Photoshop Album catalog file, separate from your pictures, and your pictures remain where you originally copied them to your computer.
    If you use Photoshop Album to subsequently download files from a digital camera or scanner, the default location where the program will create those files would be in the My Pictures>Digital Camera Photos folder. But if you do NOT use Photoshop Album Starter edition to download files from your camera, then you will find that folder empty.
    The thumbnails in the Starter Edition catalog will exist, even if you decide to move or delete the original photos that were added to the program. This will cause files in the Photoshop Album catalog to become 'disconnected' from the original photos. To reconnect the files, you can use the File>Reconnect Missing files command to see if the program can locate the original files in a new location, and once again re-link the catalog thumbnails to the files they once referenced.
    Since Photoshop Album has been discontinued, I recommend that folks find an alternative solution. One alternative that will preserve most of what you've created in Starter Edition is the Photoshop Elements 8 trial. Install that, and it will automatically convert the Photoshop Album catalog to a current format, and the program will not time out, as Starter Edition did. If you want to purchase more Editing power, you can also choose to purchase the full program, but it's not required.
    If you are like many who have come to this forum wondering how you can get to your photos, now that the program has become locked or expired, don't worry; your photos have never been moved by Photoshop Album; they remain wherever you intially put them, on your hard drive. To get to them, you can navigate your file system using Windows Explorer. They are typically in your My Documents>My Pictures folder. Here is a handy How-To that you could refer to to find photos on your system, as well as some other tips for how you can use folders to keep your photos organized: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/maintain/filemgmt.mspx
    Hope those tips help!

  • Unlocked, Registered and Working (Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition v3.0)

    Following several threads in this user-to-user forum, I lodged a bug report with Adobe and to my amazement, was promptly helped out of the sticky situation of not being able to connect to the internet/register Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition v3.0. After providing all my details and Windows version etc, Adobe came back with an unlock code matched to my email address and ... razzamatazz...problem cured. Moral is simple: lodge a bug report providing all information then and subsequently to Adobe, and sit back.

    The same thing happens to me, I've gotten the code and the "unlock now" button won't work. I've tried cut and paste and manually entering. I've tried registering again, and I've deleted the entire program and started over, still can't get the "UNLOCK NOW" to highlight for unlocking. Can't get code to "Enter", what am I doing wrong?

  • Register PS Album Starter 3

    I recently installed Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3, but am unable to register it. I completed the registration form within the software, but have not receive a registration unlocking code via email from Adobe. I even emailed Adobe Info but got no response. Is this software still available to the public? Why can't I register it and why doesn't Adobe respond to my question? I would like to continue to use the software, but can't because it is not registered. Since Adobe will not help, is there a way to get an unlocking code from the internet so I can use the software? Can anyone help me?

  • Registering Photshop Album Starter Edition

    I received a copy of Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 with a new computer and I am unable to register it, I have Windows XP Media Center 2005. I have DSL that normally works fine & I use Mozilla as my browser.
    I fill out the registration form and I then try to submit it . In less than a second, i get 3 windows in succesion the last of which reads "Internet connection failed."
    I have only 10 more chances to use the program
    Thanx david

    First off, there is no PSA 3 or 4. The "final" version of PSA was version 2. The other upgrade path is to Photoshop Elements [4 now, 5 very son]. These are all compatible with what you have now.
    It's hard to encapsulate what you gain with each. With Elements you get very powerful image editing facilities. You get more orgainizing options.
    Adobe posoition their products something like this:
    PSA SE 3 - absolute beginners and inexperienced amateurs
    PSE - more experienced amateurs
    PS CS - very demanding amateurs and pros

  • Re: unlock code to Photoshop album Starter Edition 3

    I too have got problems with the Photoshop Album Starter Edition Album. My photos are locked in there from 2006 onwards and without any warning I am now unable to access them. The on screen message asks me to register with Adobe for an unlock code and when I tried this the reply came back that the product is no longer supported by Adobe. I rang their customer services (UK) and they told me they no longer supported this product and to contact an IT support man!!!!
    Appalled at this. Thanks Adobe - I think not. Anybody else offer me support in overcoming this problem? Thanks.

    Adobe Poor,
    You're not alone in wondering about how to get photos 'out' of Starter Edition. There are a few posts like this in the forum, all of which are based on the false assumption that Starter Edition has exclusive access to the photos that appear to be 'in' the program.

  • Cannot unlock my Photoshop album Starter 3.0

    I have been attempting to unlock my Adobe Photoshop album starter Ed. 3.0
    I just spent forever waiting for assistance from adobe and after I got (Trish) she was of no help what so ever and she hung up on me when I needed to be told that I had to register to post a request for information. She gave me two unlock codes, neither of which worked. Can someone please help me as all my pictures are in this program.
    How do I unlock? I registered and then it says they will send me an unlock code; which they never have. thus my telephone call and waiting forever and then getting hung up on.
    If someone could help me I would appreciate some assistance. Adobe does not respond to e-mails that I have sent.

    There are lots of posts here about unlocking problems. Have you looked through them? There should be some help there.
    > all my pictures are in this program
    No they aren't. It is just cataloging what's on your hard drive.

Which OS and service pack are you using?

  • Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 Photo's Locked in and Can't Get Them Help.

    I have Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0  and I never used it/registered it until today when I wanted to take all my photos and put them to disk and have them Printed off.  I can't do this anymore as their are no codes available and I've done all I can.  Please can anyone help I have over 500 photo's locked inside a bloody product I can't even acess.  is their anyway of getting the photo's off the product and onto disk.
    Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Arthur.

    I had a look in the starter forum.
    The answer is, if you can't get your unlock code from support, don't worry; your photos are not locked into Starter Edition.
    If you use Windows Explorer, you could go into My Documents > My Pictures, and look around, perhaps in an Adobe folder for your photos.

  • Thansfer adobe photoshop album starter 3.2 photos to element 8.0

    I've had adobe photoshop album starter 3.2 since I've had my computer.  All my family photos are stored there.  This morning after uploading photos the program kept closing.  I clicked on the register and an email was sent to me telling me that as of July 2009 I can no longer get a unlock pin to open the program.  I've been using the program with no problems until this morning.  I called adobe and was told I need to upgrade to elements 8.0.  I asked if I purchase the upgrade will my photos load to the new version? I was told yes.  I ordered the disk and in the meantime downloaded the trial version until the new program disk arrives.  Once loaded, the photos didn't load, nor was I able to manually load the photos from 3.2 to 8.0.  I called adobe again and was instructed to now send this message to you.
    Please help me to either "unlock" or instruct me how to obtain the photos from 3.2.  I was very happy with the original version and have hundreds of family photos which I now fear I may loose.  I'm frantic right now and need a solution.  My photos mean the world to me and my family.
    Thank you.
    David J. Tartza

    I need to transfer photos from one computer to another and have been searching in vain exactly where the tag information is stored.  I have used Album starter for at least 5 years and currently have 3.0 on my old PC.  I have downloaded and installed 3.2 on the new PC and was planning on updating to Elements once I get the photos (and tags) migrated.
    <snip>
    If you use Photoshop Album to subsequently download files from a digital  camera or scanner, the default location where the program will create those  files would be in the My Pictures>Digital Camera Photos folder. </snip>
    I have searched all of the Adobe directories and the only files present are the actual photos.  What type of files should I be looking for.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    When setting pref for email client within Adobe PSE, AOL is not listed as an email option. I have reinstalled Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2, and unlocked, reinstalled AOL 10 (desktop) and reset it as the default email client. The default is working, as mailto: links in browsers open up AOL Desktop, and the email app listed at the top of the <START> button is AOL. How can I set it as an email client in Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2? Is there some registry hack? Interference with another app?

    Re 3.2 Photoshop. After I had some repair done to my computer, the photos in my album have the restricted little red square at the bottom of each photo. When I try to open the photo to fix or print a message box comes on that nothing can be done because of overide problem. In fact it closes the photoshop immediately because of this error. Is there anything I can do? - if I search the Browse button I get absolutely no connection or a march. This is most frustrating. I tried calling tech assistance, they could not help me infact hung up on me. What sort of helpfull assistance is that? Should there be any helpfull suggestions, other than uninstalling (Have done that) and reinstalling (done that) nothing seems to work. I cannot even copy those photos to a disk, the photoshop closes down immediately. Help. Donna

  • Need help regarding Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0

    Thanks in advance for helping me.
    When I got a new camera about 4 years ago, it came with this software. I loaded it up, but never used it. I normally just create a new folder on my desktop and click and drag the shots from the computer to the desktop. I do this by just opening up my computer, find the external drive and then click and drag.
    Here is the problem though. My wife decided to download photos from my daughters b-day party. When she plugged in the card reader, this photo album starter automatically opened and started to drag the photos into the program.
    Although this shouldn't be a problem it is a large issue. Since I never used the product, I never registered for it either. So when I just tried to register for it, it told me the program is no longer able to be registered for. And when I hit the register later button, it shuts down the program. Therefore, it will not allow me to grab the photos and save them to a file on my desktop.
    Can anyone tell me a way around this, please?
    Stu
