Why can't I register Adobe or Apple software?

I just recently got a MacBook Pro; I've registered it on Apple, but I cannot register any of my software, either from Apple or Adobe.
Adobe programs say: "Adobe could not register your product at this time."
GarageBand takes me to:
The Apple Product Registration website is closed.
If you’re trying to register an Apple product, chances are it’s already registered. Most Apple products can be registered when you turn them on for the first time and begin the setup process. Service and support for your Apple product are linked to its serial number, so it’s OK if you don’t register it. If you'd like to check the service and support coverage for your Apple mobile device or computer, click here.
Is there another way to register Apple software? Do I literally just need to wait a while and try again with Adobe? I feel it's a little too coincidental that neither will register for me...
I was told to register all my software so I could regain it if something ever happened to my computer.

If you registered your MBP, your pre-installed Apple software is automatically registered too unless the software specifically request it.  If this is the case, which software is asking you to register?
You can register Apple products by phone.  Call Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-767-2275.  Ask politely & firmly that you want to be transferred to Customer Relations.  Tell them exactly what you stated in your post.       
Adobe is 3rd party. You should contact Adobe Support and/or post in the Adobe Forums since it's their product you are having problems w/registering.

  • Why can't I register Adobe Acrobat XI

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat XI with my Dell computer last month. when I try to register I get a message saying "the serial number is valid but not for this product. Choose another." But the product Adobe Acrobat XI is not listed in the drop down window. The highest version is Adobe Acrobat X. I'm unable to open the product as it takes me to the registration window each time. Need help

  • Why can't I install Adobe Digital Editions on my iPad?

    Why can't I install Adobe Digital Editions on my iPad?

    I have the same question.
    IPad Air 2, iOS 8.1.2. I ordered some ebooks that required the download of Adobe Digital Editions. I select the supplied link to the Adobe site, select download, and I am given the option of windows or Mac OS. I wandered through the site and even googled an iOS version with no luck. I thought maybe the Mac OS version might be universal to apple products so I downloaded it and tried to open it in One Note, One Drive, and Google My Drive with no luck. The .dmg file is not recognized. So, I'm back to looking for an iOS version. Is there one?

  • Why can't I use adobe flash player to open attachments

    Why can't I use adobe to open attachments - have downloaded latest version but still get a black page

    You're probably using IE11. This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser, at least until Microsoft gets their act together and fixes IE..
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Why can't I download adobe flash player on IPAd 2?  Several web programs , such as Hayhouse radio, require adobe flashplAyer 9 or higher.

    Why can't I download adobe flashplayer on my iPad 2?  Several web programs, including Hayhouse radio, require adobe flashplAyer.  iPad has an app for Hayhouse radio, but won't work without flashplAyer to access all content.  I just got iPad for Xmas and am not sure I want it anymore cause I have so much trouble accessing web programs.  Never had an apple before!  Thank you so very much for any advice you can give me.  Crychak, oldsmAr Florida.

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
    Puffin
    SkyFire
    Photon Flash
    Browse2Go
    iSwifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • Why can't I login with my Apple ID when I try to setup Cloud on my MacBook Pro?

    Why can't I login with my Apple ID when I try to setup Cloud on my MacBook Pro?
    thanks,
    Simon

    First question that I am not clear on your answer about: Is the Apple ID itself a valid email address, and the same one that you have as your Primary email address on your account? If the actual Apple ID is not an email address, then that is why you are not able to sign on to iCloud or to verify it....it must be an email address.
    If it is an email address then:
    Update your OS to the latest version - 10.8.5
    Once you have updated, reboot the Mac and then go to Preferences>iCloud and try to sign on with your Apple ID again.
    Check Manage your Apple ID to make sure that your Apple ID/Primary email address is verified.
    If the problem persists, contact iCloud Support to see if they can provide you with an explanation of the meaning of the message. If the Apple ID has already been verified, then I'm not sure why you would be getting this messge:

    Why can't I text with non Apple equipment?

    You can with third party apps. You just can't use Messages in order to text since it only works with other iOS devices and Macs running Mountain Lion.

    Why can't I download Adobe Premiere Pro from the cloud- have tried repeatedly, followed all the posted advice- all other programs have downloaded without a hitch.... what's the deal?

    Hi Clearly Stated,
    Maybe try downloading the Premiere Pro trial and then licensing it?

    After you install just covert it to be licensed as part of Creative Cloud using the "License This Software" option shown here.

  • Why can't I get adobe pdf translator to open?

    why can't I get adobe pdf translator to open?

    Perhaps because you don't know what you have (because there is no product called "adobe pdf translator"), Also perhaps because you aren't in a place to get support from Adobe. If you'd like us in the community to try to help, we might, if you can help us understand what is wrong. What is the specific product you are trying to use, and what happens when you try to use it. Please give any error messages exactly.
