I would like to uninstall my old CS5 Design Premium from my computer to reinstall it on another computer. What are the steps? Is there something special with the activation codes, etc?

You are allowed to have two activated installations, so if you prefer to you can keep ut on the current machine and just install it on the new one like you did originally. If you wish to eliminate it on the other machine, the first thing to do is to deactivate it by opening a program in the suite and selecting Help -> Deactivate in the top toolbar. That is all you need to do to disable the software. At this point if you prefer to you can uninstall it if you like.
As far as getting it on the new nmachine, as I just indicated, just install it like you did the first time.

Allow a windows non-administrator user to run cmd.exe as administrator without sharing administrator password with the user

I have standalone Windows 2003 and 2008 Oracle database servers (they are not in a Windows domain environment ). The Oracle DBAs can perform all their routine activities from command line with administrator privileges. For this i've to either share administrator
user password with the Oracle DBAs or add their windows login user to Administrators group. If i can give the DBA user permission to run windows command prompt without sharing administrator password, i can give them non-administrator login access to Windows
2003/2008 server. Normally when a non administrator user would try to run a program as administrator on Windows 2008, the user is prompted to input administrator username/password. Is it possible to give non-admin user access to run a program/application (cmd.exe
in this case) on Windows 2003/2008 without sharing administrator credentials with them?

With the OTORISER application I developed, normal users can run applications with admin privilege …
Otoriser is totally free ! Applications, mmc consoles, control panel cpl files can be run under admin and system context with Otoriser. Let’s say you donot want your users to be admin in their machines, but want them to run some applications with admin rights.
If this is the case then you are on the right blog.
There are two components for Otoriser. Management and client components. There are no complex implementation and no frustrating steps to be performed. Within 10 minutes you can start testing the results
After you download the setup files, install client components in the client by running it directly (or any deployment method you have), it will take about 5 seconds to install it. Then, let’s say you want your user to change system properties of the machine.
With the tool provided in Admin package produce the hash of system.cpl file and enter that hash into the group policy (details are provided in documentation). When policies are applied for that user then he or she can run that control panel applet under admin
context but donot forget that the user is still an ordinary user.

Is there a way to reset my administrator password without the Mac OS X media?

I can't remember my administrator password for my computer and I no longer have my Mac OS disc but I can't update any of my programs without my administrator password.
Can anyone offer some friendly advice?!
Thanks!

HT4798 how can i reset my administrator password if i forgot the password?

I recently bought a macbook pro. I set it up last night, and i know i have the correct administrator (myself, the only user) and password, yet for some reason when i go to type my sername and password, it says it's incorrect. Therefor, i need to figure out how to change my administrator password or username, or find out where i can find the info to tell me what it is, incase i typed either in incorrectly.

Did you try using your Apple ID to reset the password?
Did you enable FileVault?
If you get nowhere:
Changing or resetting an account password (Lion):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
Scroll down to Resetting the original administrator account password. Try the procedure under reset your user password with your Apple ID.
If that does not work for whatever reason you can also use the following technique:
Restart your Mac while holding down the ⌘ and R keys at the same time until you see the Mac OS X Utilities screen.
From the menu bar at the top, select Utilities > Terminal.
In the Terminal window type resetpassword and press Enter. A window will open behind Terminal that looks like this
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD" in the above screenshot), choose your user account from the dropdown selection, enter a new password, complete the password hint field, and click Save.
You may then see a confirmation dialog explaining how this change affects Keychain Access and what to do about it. Remember it or write it down, then click OK.
Quit Reset Password
Quit Terminal
Quit OS X Utilities and restart your Mac.

HT1320 I tried all the steps to reset my nano 6th generation and it still won't turn on. What do I do then?

I tried all the steps to reset my nano 6th generation and it still won't turn on. I've had this since February and just started having problems about a week ago after I charged it. Now I can sometimes get it to turn on but mostly it just stays off, I can't even reset it with it plugged in. I have noticed that it get really warm to the touch when it's plugged in and if I let it cool down I might have some luck but soon I have the same problems.

My computer is recognizing my airport express network at first but then slips to an exclamation mark. I have followed the steps to reset everything and it ends up keeping me on a loop of asking me to rest everything after I do so. network is recognized

My computer is recognizing my airport express network at first but then slips to an exclamation mark. I have followed the steps to reset everything and it ends up keeping me on a loop of asking me to rest everything after I do so. network is recognized on list along with all my neighbors. Any help would be greatly apprectiated.

System Preferences > Network
WiFi/Airport should be at the top of the list.
Select WiFi/Airport
[√ ] Ask to Join new Networks
click ( Advanced )
In the WiFi/Airport pane, remove ALL other networks except your home Network. (This will keep your computer from "wandering off" onto a neighbor's Network.)
You are not done until you close the windows and Save Changes.

How can I reset my administrator password, without knowing the original administrator password?

Hi guys,
I use a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. A few months ago I reset my administrator password and have not been able to remember it since. Consequently, I haven’t been able to do any software updates, my computer is running slow and I'm getting a lot of pop-up junk on my screen. I’m the only user on my computer, apart from the Guest User (Sharing only).
How can I reset my administrator password, without knowing the original password?
Thanks.

If the password for your Apple ID works at id.apple.com > Manage Apple ID, then it's likely that the Apple ID the device wants you use is not the same as the Apple ID you are using.
Exactly what screen are you at on your iPhone? It sounds like it is in Activation Lock.

I read a way on another forum to fix this problem. Right click on the setup.exe and select "Run as administrator" this should solve your problem.

Hello Jbug0409,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re running into an Apple ID password issue on your iPod touch, and you’ve created another account which you weren’t able to verify because you didn’t receive the verification email.
Try resetting the Apple ID password for the account that’s already on your iPod touch as shown here:
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Also, take a look at this article which provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll resolve most issues receiving verification emails.
If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
So long,

I forgot my password and follow the steps but my email did not received the reset password email

I forgot my old apple password and I follow the steps for reset my password. But my frustration is when i login my email there was no email on resetting my password.

I've never received reset password emails.
Despite waiting 24hrs (as some forum posts had suggested it takes a bit of time to come through). So I created new account using a new email.
But now I have the same problem on a different account, and still nothing received. I've checked spam folder and email server but nothing is received. Other emails from Apple have been received, when I added voucher and when I registered to this forum.
So if anyone else has found a resolution I would be most interested also.

HT5312 Every time I do all the steps to reset the questions the only problem I have is that I noticed in the link to reset them using an email the email in the link don't match the one I created my account with. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to upadte your rescue email address for potential future use
