Upgrading with new computer

I've been with Photoshop since version 2.5.1. I've upgraded both by receiving CDs and downloads from the Adobe website. I plan on buying a new computer and upgrading to PS CS6. How many of my older versions will I have to install to be able to buy an "upgrade"?

I didn't actually understand the issue. For upgrading to PS CS6, you just need the previous version i.e. CS5.
What exactly are you trying to convey?

Question about installing logic 9 upgrade on new computer

Hello!
I just purchased a new mac pro (woo hoo... finally) and the logic 9 upgrade pack. I own Logic 8 but I'm not sure if I should install it before installing the logic 9 upgrade.
Will I miss out on any parts of the logic 8 sound library, loops, effects, etc by only installing logic 9? I have my S# and am aware installing Logic 8 is not needed, just curious if there are any advantages or disadvantages of installing.
Thanks

Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities

What if sync with new computer does not work. logical connection to old with WindowsXP, 32 bit version of iTunes. New is Windows7 with 64bit version

What if sync with new computer does not work?
logical connection to old with WindowsXP, 32 bit version of iTunes.
New is Windows7 with 64bit version

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to...

Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to recognize our iPods (it doesn't even recognize them when they're plugged in).
Hubby wiped my harddrive for me, so now I need to get everything back in proper places. I'm using windows XP and installed iTunes once again (I believe it's version 8). I also installed all of my iTunes songs. Now I need to know where to go from here. We have 3 iPods and I need to get them all synched once again. I know how to create different libraries for each of us, but I can't figure out how to get our songs back into our iTunes libraries. When I open iTunes and plug in an iPod, iTunes doesn't even show that an iPod is plugged in.
What do I do now to get each of our iPods synched with our own libraries?
TIA
Brandy

Thanks Zevoneer. The "Restart ipod service" worked and itunes is now recognizing my ipod! Hooray!
Okay, now how do I synch all of our ipods with our individual libraries (I don't want all of my kids' songs and vice versa)? We each have hundreds of songs on our ipods that we don't want to lose.
Thanks again!

Our old computer crashed which had all the kids ipod touch library on it. Now when I connect ipods to new computer it says I have to erase all the app, etc to sync with new computer. Is there anyway to sync to the new computer w/out losing all data?

Our old computer crashed which had all the kids ipod touch library on it. Now when I try to connect them to new computer it says I need to erase all data, apps, etc. to sync with new computer. It is saying that it can only be connected to one library at a time. Is their anyway around this without having ot erase all their stuff?

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

Cannot sync ipad Air with new computer running windows 8

With new computer (HP Envy 27) running with windows 8, I have the latest iTunes installed, and successfully transferred my itunes library (books, music, TV programs, podcasts etc) to the new computer. I've tried multiple times to sync my iPad Air with no success. Only the Podcasts and Apps have been synched. No TV programs, and only a few music albums and books came across, despite the fact I selected the albums and books to synch individually. Can anyone help please?

Since you are able to sync some content and not all, I would first unsync (uncheck the box and hit apply) for a category (lets say books), then go back and re-sync (check the box again) and select just one item that did not sync before. If it syncs then you know it's not the content.
If it doesn't sync, then you will have to do a little more testing to see what it is, like trying to sync from a new library or new user.
Also, verify in itunes what's on the iPad by showing the sidebar and clicking the arrow next to the iPad on that sidebar. You can see what has made it onto the iPad. If its on the iPad there, but not showing up in the proper place on the iPad's screen (like books in iBooks) then you will need to troubleshoot the device up to maybe even restoring it as new.

Music, photos, and apps lost after upgrading on new computer

Someone please help! I just upgraded 3G to 3.1.3 on new computer and lost all my music, photos, and apps. Is there anyway I can get them back. I backed up my phone before the upgrade, the phone was wiped clean, then retored to original settings, then it restored to back up, but I lost all the above in the process. Thanks Sheila

By design, the iPhone syncs iTunes-managed media content (music, videos, apps, photos) with _one and only one_ computer. That content was erased from the phone. The backup won't help - iTunes content is not backed up. You need to sync to the computer you synced to +prior to+ upgrading (the 'old computer'). Or, move your iTunes library, etc., from the old computer to the new computer and sync to that.

Activat CS2 upgrade to new computer

Hi
I have CS, CS2 & Photoshop 4. All with serial numbers registered for me.
I bought the first CS full version several years ago and then purchased CS2 and Photoshop 4 as upgrades.
Last year the computer that I had all this software on died! I bought a new computer and started to install the software on my new computer.
CS went on without any problems. I then installed the CS2 upgrade and it said that I had a 30-day trial period? Which I thought was strange as I had the retail packaging for the CS2 and serial number. From what I remember I downloaded the CS2 first of all and then bought the package in the box with its serial no. to use it. A few years later I purchased the Photoshop 4 upgrade and have been using it since.
When I installed the CS2 it told me I had to activate it which I tried to do but it told me that activation for this software is now unavailable. I tried to phone Adobe directly but I did not get very far as the said they no longer supported it. I have not attempted to install the Photoshop 4 because I don't think I can install it without the CS2 installed.
Every time I try to open CS2 it just say's that my 30-day trial period is over. The CS still works fine.
I have purchased all the above software in retail packaging from the correct channels, i.e. not copies of anybody else's! I am simply trying to install software that I have purchased onto my new computer and I have all the correct packaging and serial numbers, which are registered with Adobe for me to use.
Can anybody help?
Thanks,
Adrian.

I have CS, CS2 & Photoshop 4.
Do you mean Photoshop 4 or Photoshop CS4?
I have not attempted to install the Photoshop 4 because I don't think I can install it without the CS2 installed.
You don't need a prior version installed in order to install an upgrade. Just install the upgrade (even on a computer which has never previously had any Adobe software installed), enter the upgrade serial number and then enter the serial number from the earlier qualifying version (even if that was an upgrade).
But which Photoshop 4?

Upgrading to new Computer!! Can I move!?

Ok so finally upgrading to a newer faster computer (YAY)! But my dilemma is I cant find this discs for my creative suite 3, being that I have moved twice in the last year and half, I CAN"T FIND THEM ANYWHERE!!!! So can I even just move them as programs? I have being some google searching and finding a lot of different programs, some for moving everything including programs and some for just data. Now I know I need to move actual programs not just data. If this route is possible is there one better than the other? Also are there any other options I have other than re-purchasing the program????
Any help with my problem would be great!! Thanks in advance.

You need to re-install the program from the disks. The disks also have your serial number on them. Considering the cost of the program or the cost of upgrading to CS4 I would have thought you might take better care of the disks. You can call customer service and see if they can provide you with new disks or allow you to download the software. Years ago Adobe made these disks available at nominal cost for older versions. These days its hit or miss, I gather mostly miss.
Not everyone's life runs straight and smooth and sometimes you get thrown curve balls and something's become a little more important than discs at certain times but thanks for the useful part of your reply!
