Why is deactivation of CS4 not working on older Mac?

Got a new MacBook. Trying to deactivate CS4 apps on old laptop so I can activate them on the new one. The deactivate screen says deactivation was successful but I can still open CS docs on old laptop and the apps still won't open on the new MacBook. Tried deactivation twice now, with restarts of both machines. Don't want to erase serial number from old machine in case I still need to use it of Yosemite doesn't handle CS4 properly. Do not want to have to get Creative Cloud (ever!!)

Contact support to reset activations.

  • Why will adobe flash player not work on my mac?

    Hi, I just got my mac back from the apple store and sadly I lost all my data so its a 'new mac' and i had to set it up from scratch etc.
    I am unable to watch videos on youtube and other sites that need Java or Adobe flash player EVEN THOUGH I have downloaded and uninstalled several times and each time it doesnt work. Ive checked in safari prefferences that 'enable java-script' and 'enable plug-ins' is on but it still will not work!
    Ive been on system prefferences and checked the java and adobe application prefferences to see if i can add the websites oor something but it will not work.
    my mac is deffinetly up to date to the latest version, i have checked several times and i have made sure that it is the correct adobe flash player most recently updated etc, but it will still not work! ive been researching for a couple of days now and cant find anything that works.
    Someone Please Help!!!!!
    This is a screen shot of what is happening with the adobe flash player:
    'clicking on manage website settings'
    why will it not work!!??

  • Why java and adobe are not working in my mac?

    I have been trying to download Java and Adobe unsuccessfully. There were working before.
    When I check the applications the logos are there, but I can't open pages that require  Java or Adobe.
    Every time I download the programs it tells me that there where no problems with the download. When I press the bottom to verify the program it says that there was a  problem. Please Help!!!!

    IIf the strange SMS are coming from known contacts, that's normal for iMessages that don't arrive and are converted to text.  Don't know why but it happens when my bf is overseas and his company phone can't access data - the iMessages he tries to send have a lot of symbols when they come as text but none when the finally arrive as iMessages.  Usually it's mostly lots of @@@@@@.
    if you didn't buy the phone new, the previous owner may still be linked to the phone and they are his/her messages you are getting.  I have seen a lot of posts about this on various forums and can't remember the fix but it's to do with iTunes and you may need to contact the previous owner. 
    if you did buy the phone new,check with the store that it wasn't used as a demo model.  They may be able to assist you setup your messages.  If not, you may need to search for solutions online or hopefully someone else who's had the exact issue may be able to help you here.  Good luck.

  • Mail not working on older Macs using POP

    Something happened to the POP support under Mail in the last few days. FWIW, Apple says they don’t support POP. However I have been using this to get my .mac mail up until the last 3 or 4 days.
    Now, if you are using a pre Snow Leopard machine (my old G4) you don’t have iCloud. In this case setting up a new IMAP account is the way to now get mail.
    Apple support was sympathetic but couldn’t help.
    Steps that worked for me. (Obviously, I have an iCloud account already.)
    1- open Mail preferences.
    2- click “+” to make a new account
    3- put in name for the account, mac address and password.
    4- UNCHECK the set up account automatically.
    5- click Continue
    6- change type to IMAP
    7- use any description
    8- mail server is imap.mail.me.com
    9- add user name (NAME) and password
    10- on the next pane make sure outgoing server is smtp.mac.com:NAME
    11- at this point should have account pretty much created.
    12- move all your old messages to this account and delete the old .mac account.
    13- check in the preferences/accounts/advanced that “enable this account”, “include…” , “compact…” are all checked.
    14- If you want to keep copies on your computer (as you have been doing under POP) select the “all messages and their attachments.”
    15- IMAP path = empty
    16- Port = 993, use SSL ,  is checked
    17- Authentication = “password”
    18- Use IDLE is checked
    Worked for me on a G4 running Leopard

    Hi Roger,
    For better or worse...and it is mostly worse, lately...I run a variety of systems on a variety of machines. It used to be .mac worked to tie all the machines together, but that has all but gone away. And I am sympathetic to Apple about not trying to support my semi-ancient hardware with their newer technologies, but it makes the transition harder when features just stop working. I can plan for June when various MobileMe features go away, and I was aware that Leopard wouldn't support Classic and Lion wouldn't support Rosetta. I wasn't counting on .mac's POP support going away, yesterday.
    Unfortunately, Mail.app is not the venerable email client I have been using all these years. I tried setting Mail.app up yesterday on a machine running Tiger and was unsuccessful. I think with both Marhk and your posts I should be able to get it running, now.
    Thanks!

  • External CD/DVD RW not working on older iMac

    Hi,
    The SuperDrive in a oldish iMac ca 2007 (Intel Core 2 Dual Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz; Mac OS 10.6.8) refuses to allow me to burn DVD's all of a sudden; the disc just gets rejected.  Used to work fine.
    Anyway, I've a new external drive which I use with a MacBookAir but this doesn't seem to work on the iMac.  No power to it.. zilch.  Works OK on the MBA, etc.
    Am I right in assuming there's no way the external drive will work with older Macs?
    Cheers, TonyT

    First have a look at > Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive and work thru the sections for Internal Superdrives.
    Most any aftermarket Mac OS X compatible USB DVD/CD drive will work with your iMac.
    For example: I have a LG GE24LU20 and it works great with all my Mac's.
    The Apple USB Superdrive will not work with older Mac systems that already has a built-in-superdrive.

  • Has anyone been able to contact Adobe to learn why their Flash Player does not work on Mac OS 10.6.8, no matter how many updates you install?  This seems like a big error by Adobe.

    I have thee Mac computers with Mac OS 10.6.8, one of which is a Mac Pro.  No matter how many updates I install from Adobe, their Flash Player does not work on any of these 3 computers.  I don't know how to contact Adobe Systems about this problem, but I think it is their responsibility to make sure that their so-called "universal" software works proplerly on a relatively recent operating system like OS 10.6.8 that is still in widespread use.  When you install the updates, nothing happens -- not even an error message.  What is the point of a universal player that is not universal?  It works fine on my MacBook Pro with OS 9 Mavericks, but it does not work at all -- indeed, has never worked -- on my 3 Macs with OS 10.6.8.  Has anyone contacted Adobe Systems to find out why the Flash Player does not work with OS 10.6.8 and what they plan to do about it?

    Where are you getting Flash from?
    Get the appropriate dmg installer here and then run it.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
    If it still won't install, do these two things: First uninstall any Flash by going into the second level Hard Drive Library>Internet Plug-ins, and trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. Then boot into Safe Boot, Shift at the startup chime (give it much longer than a usual boot) and run the installer while booted in Safe Boot.

  • My IPad cannot download live Tv from skygo. I have no problem with my lap top so I assume the broad band is okay. Can anybody suggest why the live streaming will not work on my iPad one.

    My IPad cannot download live Tv from skygo. I have no problem with my lap top so I assume the broad band is okay. Can anybody suggest why the live streaming will not work on my iPad .

    Are you using the Sky Go app to try and watch it ? If so are you logged in with your Sky account ?
    If you are using the app then you could try closing the app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Sky Go 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Sky Go app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why does my card reader not work on my iPad since upgrade?

    I use my iPad mini to download photos from my camera when I'm on the road. In the summer I bought the "3 in 1 Card Reader Adapter Cable Camera Connection Kit, 3 Port Card Reader for iPad 4 and iPad Mini by Eurekka" and it worked wonderfully. I was able to download photos (jpg and RAW) directly to the iPad and off the camera, and once home it was a flawless upload to my iMac.
    However, once I upgraded to iOS 7 last week I get a message saying the device is not supported. What gives? Will this be fixed or will Apple products only accept Apple accessories from now on?

    No but I was just trying to find a way in to your help desk. I didn't find 
    your web page very helpful in this regard.

  • Why magic jack apps is not working on my iphone 5?

    why magic jack apps is not working on my iphone 5?

    I have the same problem.  I contacted magic jack, and after more than an hour of waiting, here is the final part of our discussion, before I had to leave to go to work:
    Me:  the magic jack app has worked fine for months unregistered. Never had a problem before. I must go to work now. I will leave the chat box open. if you could, send me a list of possible fixes and I will try to apply them when I get back. Please write in detail. Is there a way that I can get in touch and get a senior rep on right away to handle my problem when I get back, or do I hae to wait again when I call next time?
    Kara: I am one of the senior rep here and in fact one of the supervisors . Here is what you are going to do:
    Kara: Once you register the magicjack app into your Iphone, we can refresh your account connections here manually however if you dont register it, no options in our end to work for your connections since the MJ app is not used to be registered. No worries, we can remove your account if you dont want the service anymore for free.
    +++++++++++++++++
    So, it would seem that either there is a problem that they don't know about, or else magic jack is trying to force everyone to not choose option 3 on the opening screen, the one which allows you to continue to make a call without registering.
    Has anyone received a solution to this problem from magic jack support?

  • Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes and App Store on my iPhone? Nothing happens if I click buy for apps or music. If I then go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. If I then enter ID and password it does not save or link to account?

    Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes or App Store on my iPhone? When I try to buy apps or music it asks for Apple ID so I enter my info and nothing happens. When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account. I do not have this problem with iPad ID is stored and can be used in App Store and iTunes. I have just upgraded to 5c and it's still a problem.

    When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
    Good luck.

  • Why does drag and drop not work?

    Why does drag and drop not work?

    Do you mean that when you move files on the Desktop, they don't stay where you put them ?.
    If so - use Finder - View menu - Show View options & choose 'Arrange by' : none
    If not - please describe exactly what the problem is.

  • Why does my free trial not work?

    Why does my free trial not work?  This is intentially misleading.

    You need to provide a better description of what isn't working, system info and all that. This could be all sorts of technical issues or your trial could simply have bombed itself. In the latter case there is nothing you can do:
    Adobe trial software expired early
    Anything else like iunstall issues can in most cases be sorted out...

  • Why Model MD297AE/A is not working with Fcae time and Model MD293C/A is working in UAE with Facetime

    Why Model MD297AE/A is not working with Fcae time and Model MD293C/A is working in UAE with Facetime.
    In fact I have given my iPhone to my daughter to use in Canada (purchased from UAE ISP) she is unable to use Face Time within Canada. ?
    Is it possibile to activate FaceTime in Canada if iPhone is purchase from UAE.
    Purchase under Points by ISP (No contract)
    Thanks
    Abbas

    Hello sir
           I agree what u replied for the above question, but because of the UAE request, you cannot deactivate the facetime completely from this iphone, they should stop working through SIM network. The iphone is a universal mobile which can travel all over the world, many tourist people will suffer due to that, pls re-consider in taking back and try to make it upgrading this software.
    Thanks
