Used Migration Assistant, couldn't open CC programs, uninstalled, now cannot install because CC won't let me login.

It doesn't seem to be an issue with the account I'm using, no special characters in his profile. The account I'm logged into does not have any special characters either.
Now I have a Mac that I cannot install any Adobe CC program on. The CC window is blank, I've uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times. I've seen other mentions of this with no answer. Everyone says delete files and check profile for special characters. Please help.

Mac migration and time machine do not work with Adobe programs due to hidden registration information

  • I used migration assistant to move all my programs to my new Macbook Pro - Now CC won't run

    I used migration assistant to move all my programs to my new Macbook Pro - The programs would run but I had to enter my license key each time - I tried downloading and reinstalling CC but always get message to contact support.  Any thoughts on next step?

    Adobe programs need to be installed, migration/transfer does not usually work.  Try using the Cleaner tool uninstall whatever you currently have on the machine and then reinstall.

    You'll need to erase the drive by booting up holding command-option-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
    Use Disk Utility to erase the disk and then Internet Recovery. That will take a while.

    Used Migration Assistant to import PC files. It created second user account that won't sync with iPad.  How do I merge accounts?

    It's next to impossible to fully merge two accounts on a Mac easily.
    This being said, though, please take a look at "The Great Pondini's" site where this specific issue is addressed.  There should be information here you can use to get things sorted out.

  • Program windows too large after using migration assistant

    This seems like a silly question. I just got my MacBook for Christmas and I used Migration Assistant to transfer everything from my iMac to the MacBook. It worked great except that the sizes of the program windows remained the same as well, and they are too big on this 13" screen for me to access things that are way down on the bottom of the window. I can't get a hold of the corner tab that allows you to resize the window manually because it is off the bottom of the screen. I did try minimizing/moving the task bar from the bottom of the screen, but the windows are still too big. I discovered the problem in iTunes, but I suspect it is universal. I'd appreciate any help you can offer! Thanks.

    I was having problems with my photo booth, when i'd open it up i could only see half of the pics that I had already taken. I couldn't delete them or anything. After reading what you wrote it had dawned on me, maybe it could have been the screen resolution. I followed your steps and now I can delete the pics I didn't want & I can also see the full photo booth thingy [:
    even thou I didn't ask a question, you answered mine & thank you very much [:

  • Used migration assistant to move office 2008 and now i cannot open it

    I had an old MacBook from 2008, and now have a new MacBook Air. Was told to use migration assistant to move my applications. I did this and now when I go to open any programme from Microsoft Office 2008, it takes me to Microsoft Office Setup Assistant, over and over and over... Its saying that I don't need to register...
    Any advice or help?

    I migrated Office 2011 and other than forcing me to enter the license code again (all 2 million letters of it) everything went OK.
    Note that when I tried to open Parallels desktop 6 it wouldn't open and said that it wasn't compatible with Mountain Lion and the icon had a sort of greyed out look. I upgraded to 8 and it started working. I wonder if there is any issue with Office 2008 and Mountain Lion? Probably not but it's a possibility.
    You can buy an external superdrive too from Apple. I bought one for my 2010 Air. But CD sharing from another computer should work. I bring it with me when I travel to watch DVDs.

  • File permissions screwed up after using Migration Assistant

    Hi All, just got a new iMac and am having some problems... hoping someone here can help... especially since Apple support is closed on this Labor Day holiday!
    So, i just got a new iMac, with Snow Leopard. It will be replacing my Mac Mini, with Leopard.
    I used migration assistant to successfully move over all my files and docs and applications from the mini to the iMac. Took 7 hours but I was happy to see that everything transferred over safely!
    Now, prior to the migration, I had the same username and password on both machines (eg. BVsmurfette). However, when I ran the migration assistant program, it prompted me to change one of them b/c it said I couldn't use the same usernames. So, I made the mac mini username = bvsmurfettemini.
    Once the migration was complete, I noticed that instead of putting all my files into the user name on my iMac (ie. BVsmurfette), it created a separate user folder called bvsmurfette mini.
    Thinking it would be silly to have to go into a separate user folder each time I wanted to access my files, I thought, ok, i'll just move all those files into the bvsmurfette folder. so, i dragged everything over from bvsmurfettemini, into bvsmurfette.
    However - now i've noticed that all the file permissions are screwed up!
    bvsmurfette doesn't have read/write access to any of the folders or files. bvsmufettemini does.
    so - i clicked on each parent folder (eg. documents, music, pictures, movies, eetc), and clicked on "get info" and changed the permissions/sharing so that bvsmurfette was the owner, and clicked the "apply to all enclosed items" option. I thought this would automatically change the permissions/sharing of every single file and sub-folder within each parent folder.
    To my surprise - it didn't work. The sub-folders and files within each parent still have their old permission settings. Argh! Can anyone please help? I refuse to believe that the only way around this is to manually click on every single file (which i have thousands and thousands of) and reset the permission settings...
    Thanks so much in advance for any help and advice.

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions..
    Open the Disk Utility application. (Applications/Utilities) and repair disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Cannot use Creative Cloud in new Mac after using Migration Assistant

    I used Migration Assistant to set up my new Mac (new computer is a Retina MacBookPro; so was old computer). I could not open any of my CC apps. When I open Creative Cloud Desktop App it is completely blank (no tabs for Apps, Fonts, Files, etc. -- No means of installing or updating apps). I uninstalled Creative Cloud and reinstalled (several times) but got the same results. I have also deleted all the Application Folders for CC apps that cam ever with Migration Assistant.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Just used Migration Assistant and can't access files, get message

    I just used Migration Assistant to move files (per directions on screen) from my older iMac to new G4 running 10.4.1. It seems as though everything has transferred, but when I try to open folders that have migrated, I get a window that says, "The folder could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges".
    Is there a way to obtain these privileges? Not sure how to proceed. If not, should I scrap everything and just drag and drop files? I had hoped to preserve all of my settings, address books, older email (using macmail program), etc...
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hello christine:
    Do you really mean OS X 10.4.1? The current level is now OS X 10.4.11.
    Try running permission repair from disk utility. If that does not work, I think I would do an archive and install on the G4:

    Than would install a pristine OS X (which would need to be updated while preserving your files, programs, and settings.
