Attempting to install Adobe Acrobat 7 installer isn't recognizing my product serial number as a valid serial number. I tried entering it with and without the dashes and neither methods work. What should I do now?

I bought a new computer and I'm attempting to install my older Adobe products that I still use, Adobe Acrobat 7 is the issue for now. I followed the instructions on the Adobe site for installing the older apps, but the installer isn't recognizing my product serial number as a valid serial number. I tried entering it with and without the dashes and neither methods work. What should I do now?

You cannot use your original files and serial number. See the following for the files you need and the associated serial number(s)....

The computer freezes on 10.6.3 and later

Hello,
I got a freezing / crashing problem on my iMac. It comes in three variants:
1. At some random moment (that means regardless which apps are open, sometimes even just after starting up*) the screen goes black, as when going to sleep. If there is anything happening on the computer (i.e. a YouTube video playing, or music in iTunes), it will continue, only with the video turned off. Sometimes ( I don't know what it's related to) if I press the power button for a short while - as when I make the mac go to sleep - the screen "wakes up", and everything works well again. Sometimes this doesn't work and a shutdown-restart is required.
2. At some random moment the screen would freeze - without going black - and the computer wouldn't respond, the only solution being a shutdown -restart using the power button. When this appears is as I said, random, but lately this sort of malfunction happened to me when I was trying to open an app (Mail or Chrome) from the dock...
3. The same as in 2., but if I wait for a minute or so, the freeze ends and the computer goes back to normal.
When these things happen, I get no error message or log, like with kernel panics, so I guess this is not a panic thing...
I have an USB hub (detached it now, to see if it changes anything) and a Wacom Intuos 4 tablet attached to my computer. I found a thread on these forums regarding Intego VirusBarrier causing crashes, so I uninstalled it and removed it altogether - without any notable changes.
I tried resetting the PRAM - it semed to solve the problem for several days, but then it happened again.
I updated the system - via Software Update, first to 10.6.4, then 10.6.5 - the freezes seem to happen not as often as with 10.6.3, but they still happen.
I repaired the permissions - nothing changed...
Could anyone help me with this? These freezes are not only annoying, they also cause me to lose whatever work I was doing...
Thanks in advance,
Mikolaj
* I have quite a lot of software on my mac, so I'm not sure which could be possibly causing trouble... The ones that are open most of the time - and also are opened at login (since some of these freezes happened to me right after logging in, one of these could be the culprit) are:
iChat
ShoveBox
The Hit List
Dropbox
iTunesHelper
Adobe updater
AdobeResourceSynchronizer
VMare Fusion Helper

A CD is stuck inside and refuses to be ejected - some mechanical issue, not a software one (I can hear the CD making noises as if it were coming out of the drive, but then something stops it and it returns back to its original position).

When i'm trying to download apps from app store, it show a icloud icon, which i do not sync my photo icloud. what should i do now?

i can't download apps , coz it appear an icloud icon instead of "free"

The cloud icon means you've already downloaded those Apps in the past and they are in your purchased history.
For payed apps this would allow you to redownload them without having to pay again.
Just tap on the cloud icon to start the download.

Logic Studio 2.0 purchased off Ebay... came with Logic Express 9 upgrade instead of full version, serial works to unlock registration but seems wrong and perhaps a loophole. What should I do?

I purchased what was advertised as a Full Version of Logic Studio 2 off ebay. It ended up being Logic Studio Pro 2 Upgrade and came with a copy of Logic Express 9 upgrade which did unlock the installation. I didn't realize it was the upgrade version til I saw the sticker in the upright corner of the box post installation. I feel like this is a loophole and not a legitimate installation now. Is this legit or should I acquire a full copy of Logic Express? The seller continously tells me that it's 100% legal and legit, etc.. I have already demanded he should send me or reimburse me enough to acquire a legitimate copy of Logic Express that supports the upgrade. Am I right in doing so? Or is it okay to use the Logic Express 9 upgrade copy to upgrade to Logic Studio Pro 2? Doesn't seem right. I'm very confused and would love some advice. Thank you in advance.

The Logic Express 9 upgrade package requires you should own Logic Express 8 Full.... for that to be a legal use of the Logic Express 9 upgrade serial which then you could use to register LP9/Logic Studio 2.0 upgrade package using the LS2.0 upgrade serial..
This is an apparent loophole, in my opinion, that is being exploited by the seller....
However, when in any doubt with anything regarding possible legal issues... contact Apple directly and ask them for their advice/opinion on the matter.

Why does my MBA freeze at "running package scripts" when loading.en trying to load itunes 10.4

Can download the 92 mb of upgrade, but cannot get it to get beyond 2 mins and close itunes.

Thanks, Tom
you took me back to first principles (forced me out of laziness, i guess) and another half-day of trying again during which i incrementally reduced the upgrade back to the original condition - video, then ram, then processor - finally brought the machine to life again with new install on the new 120gb disc of 10.4.6 now upgraded to 10.4.10
i am now restarting the upgrade with additional increments learned through this affair, such as testing memory one item at a time to check the machine's view of its compatibility; proposing to start with the ram - on the grounds it should be simplest (after using memory checker), then video, finally then processor.
hope to discover the source of the gremlin and will report what i find, just in case others could benefit
again, thanks for taking an interest
best regards

hope to uncover just what was the cause of the failures

Snow Leopard XServe 10.6.3 upgrade frozen at "Running package scripts"?

The Automatic update program for installing and updating Snow Leopard xServe appears to be frozen at the "Running package Scripts." It has been at this position for about 12 hours with the bar all the way to the right on the install process. What is the verdict; do I let it run some more or should I do a hard reset and do the stand alone download and install?

I was having this problem and think I found the solution. I just got my computer new and was trying to install FCS 2. The installation would freeze at "Running Package Scripts." I tried many times, all with this result. Finally, I went to Activity Monitor to force quit the installer. I pulled up the CPU usage monitor and noticed that one of the threads was at a steady 100%. I quit the installer, but it was still at 100%. I checked the process list and noticed that there was a PowerPC process titled "translate" still running with 100% CPU usage.
So, I tried the install again. This time, instead of force quitting the installer, I force quit the "translate" process. Immediately, the installer kicked back in to action and finished. Hope this helps.

Upgrade external HD from Mavericks to Yosemite

Hi,
On my MBP I have installed Mavericks 10.9.5.
Then I have a couple of external hard drive with a clone of Mavericks 10.9.5.
If I have a cloned hard drive plugged in (not booting off from it), and I run the installer of Yosemite and I tell to install Yosetime on the external hard drive (where there’s a clone of Mavericks 10.9.5) what would then happen.
Would Yosemite erase everything from the clone, or would the clone upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite, else?
Thanks

No, the Yosemite install will not erase everything on the clone.
Yes, the clone would upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite. All your apps and data will not be touched.
I actually did something similar onto an SD card. I installed Yosemite 10.10, apps and data. Then later, I ran the 10.10.1 installer against the SD card and all that happened was Yosemite updated from 10.10 to 10.10.1. Nothing else was touched.

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite Mail, Spotlight,Mission Control and App-Store don´t work correctly. Is it possible to return to Mavericks?

If you have an external drive with an OS X Time Machine backup, then do restore of your last backup. If you have an external drive with a bootable clone of your previous system, you can boot to that clone and re-clone the OS X on your external drive back to your Mac's internal drive.
If you do not have either of these available, then the reverting/restoring process becomes much more complicated and involves purchasing an external drive and backing up your current system to that drive, then erasing, reformatting your hard drive and now your only options to installng an OS X version is doing a clean install of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, then upgrading, again, to either OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion. OS X 10.9 Mavericks is no longer available for download and Apple has not made OS X 10.9 Mavericks available in any other form to be able to redownload and install.
Maybe it would be better to explain in detail your issues with Yosemite to see if any of us here can help you with your difficulties.
I am not running or using Yosemite, so I cannot help you with your Yosemite issues,
There are others here who can help you with Yosemite.
Good Luck.
