Why am I not allowed to activate my product, CS3, when the product is bought years ago and I still have the serial number? It's an old version, but I don't throw products in the bin, just because they are old.

Why am I not allowed to activate my product, CS3, when the product is bought years ago and I still have the serial number? It's an old version, but I don't throw products in the bin, just because they are old.

And what exactly is your problem? Other than going of on a tangent about Adobe's alleged evilness preventing you to activate whatever CS3 product, you have not provided any useful info such as what exact problem you have, what system, what product we are axctualyl talking about and so on.

    Hi...
    Since it's been a year since you download the app, delete the app then re download.
    Best to use a utility that will not only remove the app but all the associated files > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com

    I have an IPad mini and I changed the Apple ID and the password almost one year ago and, for a while, a message asking me to sign in to ICloud pops- up constantly. My ICloud account is registered with an old email address and password. I do not remember the password to my ICloud account, and ID address that my ICloud account is registered under is an old email adress which is deleted right now (the old mail account is deleted). I don’t have a rescue email adress and I don’t know the answers to the security questions, so I have no way of changing the ICloud password. A message asking me to sign in to ICloud pops up constantly, but I always just hit cancel. However, now I am unable to access Find My IPad. How do I get my ICloud account changed and registered to be under my current Apple ID (email) and password? It is possible to set the device as New Ipad?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • Why is Aperture not opening pending upgrading of iPhoto 9, when I'm in fact using iPhoto11 and it's up to date?

    I was using Aperture yesterday, had some trouble, and retrieved my entire Aperture Library from my back-up drive via Time Machine.  OK so far.  But since then, Aperture won't open.  I get a window telling me I must upgrade my iPhoto first: "Verify that you have iPhoto 9.4 or later. Then open the library in iPhoto to upgrade it."  BUT wait!  I have iPhoto 2011 and it's up to date.  And I have individually upgraded all my projects within iPhoto 11.  So what's going on?  Can anyone help me?  PS - I do have some imported iPhoto originals in my Aperture library (not referenced; imported).

    Hi Leonie,
    My iPhoto is iPhoto 11, version 9.4.2.  I believe my Aperture is the latest version but I don't know how to verify that when I can't open it.  I regularly accept any updates.
    How I restored my Aperture Library: I opened Aperture, clicked on Time Machine, and navigated to the Aperture Library that had been backed-up earlier in the day.  It took a while to restore. 
    When done, I opened Aperture (yes, at that point I could still open it).  It opened up on the still-empty Library, and I had to manually change it to the restored library, every time I opened aperture after that.  This was annoying, so, I then went to FINDER and deleted the empty Library.  I probably shouldn't have done this; I noticed it had the words "current default" in its filename. 
    From that point on, FINDER shows the restored aperture library (actually two restored aperture libraries, since I accessed Time Machine a second time to restore an even older backed-up version) but of course, not the empty Library that had had "default" in its filename.  And... I can no longer open Aperture.
    Hope you can help me, thanks so much,

I do not understand want to do because when I do go to reset them, I can't remember my email address I used to set up my whole Apple ID. I just want to buy music and apps. Please help me?

  • How do you delete songs from iphone5, that are not in your iTunes library on the computer?! I have the spot unchecked where it says show all music and I still have songs on my iPhone that I want gone, but they're not in my iTunes library...HELP

    I have a iPhone 5 with the most up to date software and I have songs appearing on my phone that I've deleted prior too from iTunes on the computer. How do I remove them from my phone, I've tried the left to right swipe and that just plays the songs! :/ Can anyone help me, I'd be forever grateful if I didn't have to go back to the store! I went I today abc he unchecked the show all music and there's still songs I don't want on my iPhone! :(

    The answer to the question in the title of the thread is yes, but it is not necessarily a good idea. At some point you are likely to find you need to restore your iPod for one reason or another, or it could be lost, stolen or damaged. If your songs aren't on your computer, and backed up too, then you will be less than happy.

  • 4510L mifi will not allow a 2nd pc to connect when only one pc is already connected (past usage we have had multiple connections with no problem - cann't do that now????)

    Returned to an area where we had used the mifi routinely (most of the time 4g) with no connection issues last year.  Couldn't connect a 2nd pc once another one was connected, so upgraded the firmware to most recent version.   -----   no help!   Still can only connect one pc at a time.  What are possible problems??

    Thanks for the comments John,
    This a very confusing issue.  Just this morning I was trying to connect PC1 to the jet pac.  Even with PC2 and our tablet turned off and doing multiple reset of the jet pac I could not connect.  So I shut down PC1, tried with with PC2 (both PCs run windows7) and PC2 connects just fine.  OK, then I tried the tablet.  Lo and behold the tablet connected - with the PC2 still connected - both would work (as they are suppose to) for the first time in the last 2 weeks.  Then I close PC2, and try PC1 - it connects, no reset, no nothing, just reconnects (like it is suppose to).  Talk about loosing my cool!!!!!   At least the mifi is working now,  but how in the world can I troubleshoot this system when the malfunction is inconsistent???????
