We wiped our PC. Can't activate reinstalled CS3. No error message. Says "wait a moment" or hours.

We wiped our desktop PC and then reinstalled the programs we still wanted plus Windows 8. We can't seem to activate our CS3 though. I have the number and put it in, but then it goes to a screen that says "wait one moment" and it never progresses. It sits there processing for hours! It's only ever been installed on this same PC before and I don't recall having to reinstall it before. There are no error messages. Any tips appreciated.

Start here:
Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
For anything beyond that one would need proper technical information.

HT4623 can' t sync ipad to pc/ error message says ipad needs to be updated to itunes 11.1/ its new / i just downloaded iso7

i can't sync ipad to pc/ error message says i need to update to itunes 11.1....i have tried can't seem to/ ipad is 3 months old has iso 7.2 its as updated as know how to update

Do as it says. In order for iOS 7 to PC sync to work right, you need to have iTunes v11.1.1 on the PC.
So download it ON THE PC and update:

I can't print from iPhoto. Error message says no themes. This is a recent problem.

A recent error message says I can't print because I have no themes available. What is a theme and why do I need it. I just want to print. I now have to go to Preview to print my photos.

The iPhoto themes are located in the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder. Verify that the iPhoto folder contains these items:
If you do have these items in the iPhoto folder repair disk permissions with Disk Utility and try iPhoto again.
If that fails then reapply the iPhoto 9.3 updater and try once again. You are running 9.3, right?

Can't open Indesign file. Error message says I need to upgrade plug-ins?

I created a business card for my husband from my indesign 5.5 version. I haven't upgraded my version since creating the file and for some reason I can't open the file. I get the error message 'Cannot open "Business Card - Ryan.indd". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign.'
When I look at the business card file with finder it says it was created with InDesign 5.5. When I view my InDesign application through my finder applications it says I have InDesign 5.5 so I'm not sure why this error message is saying to upgrade my version of InDesign.

I wish I had a dollar for every person who claimed there was no way a file was saved in a later version only to find out it was.
If you post a link to it someone here will save it back for you.

I just updated my IPad to iOS 5 and now can not send email. The error message says the server rejects the address which is not true Asti sends on my desktop.

I just updated my iPad to iOS 5 and now can't send email- I have tried the obvious but no luck. Any suggestions?

Usually 'authentication required' means that you need to submit a username (or e-mail address) and password to the e-mail server, when sending a message. This logic is not different between Outlook and Thunderbird, and even with the latest and previous version of Thunderbird.
Of course you can try the previous version again to see if it solves the problem, although you'll be less secure because you would be missing the latest fixes.
If you'd be willing to get back to Thunderbird, say if your frustration level with your new app would increase too much, please see our article [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-send-messages cannot send messages] for further help.
In all other cases I'd appreciate it if you could mark this as answer so we know you don't need further help.

Since updating firefox i can no longer connect to pogo error message says i have no java yet test say i have lates current update of java

i updated firefox and now i can no longer access pogo.com it states that java is unavailable on my pc. When i run test for Java it states that i have most recent update installed and it is operating

I don't know what test you are looking at. You have Java 1.6.0_11, which has known security issues; the current version is 1.6.0_21. For updating see below.
You need to update your plugins. It is important to keep them updated due to continuing security fixes and improvements in those plug-ins:
* Macromedia Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.0
* Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape (you '''MAY''' need to update)
* Java Plug-in 1.6.0_11 for Netscape Navigator
#Check your plugin versions: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
#*'''Note: plugin check page does not have information on all plugin versions'''
#'''Update Shockwave for Director'''
#*NOTE: this is not the same as Shockwave Flash; this installs the Shockwave Player.
#*Use Firefox to download and SAVE the installer to your hard drive from the link in the article below (Desktop is a good place so you can find it).
#*When the download is complete, exit Firefox (File > Exit)
#*locate and double-click in the installer you just downloaded, let the install complete.

#*Download complete installer ('''if you do NOT have Adobe Reader installed'''):

#**On the Adobe page, un-check any extra items (i.e. Free McAfee® Security Scan Plus) then click Download button
#**If you see message just under tabs, DO NOT click the Allow button, instead click below that where it says "click here to download".
#**Click "Save to File"; save to your Desktop (so you can find it)
#**After download completes, close Firefox

Just updated to firefox 5.0 and my google toolbar has disappeared, went to reinstall it and error message says google toolbar is incompatable with firefox 5.0. Any solutions? Thanks

Last night I opened firefox and it said there was an update (5.0) available, so I updated. When I opened the browser this morning the google toolbar was missing, so I went to the google site and tried to download the google toolbar for firefox. A message appeared in the next to a piece of green jigsaw saying the google toolbar is incompatable with firefox 5.0. Is there some way to make it compatable? Regards, Peter.

You would need to install the Addon Compatibility Reporter, but you need to start working on those workarounds because ...
'''The Google Toolbar is no longer supported by Google in Firefox 5 and up''', you may be able to get what you want from it for a limited time, the directions to install the Google Toolbar were posted before Google actually announced dropping support.
*Enable Google Toolbar in Firefox 5 http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/06/enable-google-toolbar-in-firefox-5.html
*the-edmeister posted a brief evaluation of the situation https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/841736
In any case you can find several alternative solutions, and you can start working on them now, see

Can't install adobe flash player, error message says cannot contact a reliable source

Everytime I try to download it, it gets to about 7% and then the error message says cannot contact reliable source. I used the adobe uninstaller to uninstall the previous versions, but no luck. I've tried locating hidden files but couldn't find any. Any suggestions?

Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer prior to re-installing?
Where did you download the flash player from?

Because of a problem, I uninstalled Firefox once, reinstalled it and it ran. I had a problem so I uninstalled/reinstalled it again. Now it will not run.

If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.
