Can not activate Photoshop on the new MacBook Pro

Program version: Photoshop Elements 8.

I just bought a new MacBook Pro today to replace my three year old MacBook. I sold my old MacBook after I backed up on an external hard drive via Time Machine. I used the migration wizard to import everything on my new Macintosh and Photoshop throws an error saying that I can not activate Photoshop because the serial number has been activated more than once (it is also used on my iMac).

My old MacBook has been reformatted and is no longer with me, so I can't go back and disable that copy of Photoshop (I have eBay documents and emails showing sale and reformatting my old Macintosh for evidence). What should I do? Who should I talk to? I don't want to buy another copy of Photoshop. I use Photoshop for graphics in Web to University development, so I need it up and running!

Thank you.

  • LR 5 doesn't work is not on the new Macbook Pro.

    LR 5 doesn't work is not on the new Macbook Pro.  Have tried 2 CC downloads, download licensed 5.6 and 5.5 download licensed, all the results in the same thing.  It comes up with the screen base but no signs and gives that an error occurred when changing the modules.  Nothing I have tried seems to help.  He also said "start with lightroom mobile at the top on the left, although it said it's Lr 5.6.  Anyone else having problems?  Calls to adobe are no help and have to wait until Monday for technical support.  Surely this must run on a NEW laptop with any other installed software!

    Setup logs was very good.  Application installed but is not working properly.  Finally got Adobe support and it turns out be a file permissions error.  Had to add applications and myself as accessors of the Lightroom folder under ~/Library/Adobe/ path and set permissions to read & write (was read only for everything except system) and apply to all the cases closed.   Works fine now.  Including this here in case when someone else is going through this issue.

  • Problems with the new Macbook pro 15' maxed out

    Here's a quick post about my experience so far with the new macbook pro. I just got a brand new fully maxed out in spec macbook pro 15 inch 1 to SSD 16 GB RAM AMD R9 370 m GPU (set to automatic switching is not always) and a 2.8 to 4 GHz i7. I turned on and set it up which was nice and took 2 minutes. Then experience decreased a little when I saw an EST 05:36 hours of battery life remaining to 94%. So I loaded 100% and it is still 60% of battery life announced and no program running that I literally just signed a brand new machine.

    Then I tried to use the migration wizard to import a backup of my iMac 5 k so I can do everything on this clone for my laptop. After having successfully connected (he told me if my password for time machine was incorrect or not) it froze and did nothing, continue did nothing.

    Then place had to call support, was a guy on the phone in 30 seconds and I unplug and restart the machine time, always that same question so I transferred to a guy with "more training". The new guy I could say knew a little more and knew that I knew how to set my password or if I walked in their properly for a bit but they all have been set for the same password just for this. I created a second admin account called "test" under his leadership, and when the migration assist froze on this account, he was surprised and proceeded to transfer me off.

    I preceded to restore fully the machine into thinking that my account setup is causing trouble with the migration assistant, and it turns out that the closure of that laptop it can only continue to 'download additional components', while that connected for 30 minutes so all last night was wasted, and now I guess he's got 5 left 12 hours to download original 'things '. Keep in mind that I can download 5 GB in one hour... After he wake up this morning and ending up where I left it last night :/ he says 84 hours go, now 72 and 51 and it is not updated even once in seconds, it took 20 minutes to 84 minutes to 51, it's literally a day 2 reset extravagance or what? Just to download it I can only imagine the actual plant until I can install my programs.

    The cost of the laptop was about $3600 but paid ~ $2900 after headphones were included and $250 off for delivery to students and other issues on the agenda of the process itself that is not my complaint, what happens, but sitting with a new camera and support useless just to ask me if I can use actually tomorrow at this price are unacceptable.

    I would like to continue using it for a while.

  • Have the new MacBook Pro, made Apple updates for HPprinter c309a scanner, I can print, does not scan.

    I have a new MacBook Pro retina and have spent at the Apple updates and updated my c309a scanner all-in-one printer HP Photo Smart.  It will be printed from my computer but will not scan.  It worked perfectly with my 2008 MacBook Pro.  Can you help me get the scanner to work?

    The c309a is networked with a PC and it works.  Why the Apple update does not resolve the driver, or whatever is the problem, so that I can scan from the MacBook Pro-Maverick?  All this has worked in the past.

    Yes, using the preview method works, but the other two do not.  When I get to the point where I would see print and Scan - I don't have a printer and Scanner of choices that do not allow me the choice (s) from there, as suggested...

    Guess I'm stuck with using the method of previewing until Apple finally gets the appropriate update to solve this problem.

    Thank you.

  • Advice please: Photoshop (Camera Raw) run slow the new Macbook Pro

    Hi, last week my old Macbook 2012 Pro 13 "(8 GB of Ram, 2.9 GHz, 750 GB of storage) is dead so 2 days ago I replaced it with a new Macbook (2015) Pro 13" (8 GB of Ram, 128 GB of storage).

    I had heard that this computer would be the same if not faster to run Photoshop for me edit my photos (photography being my work part-time). The computer seems to work fine, until I opened about 100 photos Raw in Photoshop CS6 (Adobe Camera Raw), while when zooming with emphasis on my photos to check there was a significant (up to 4 seconds) lag between pressing the shortcut keys to perform a zoom and zoom that really happens. In addition, there was noticeable delay when changing the balance of whites by the sliders. I had none of these problems on my previous Macbook Pro, photoshop just seemed instantaneous. Then I was sure my CS6 has been fully updated, had the same problem, including the offsets when you use the sliders (white balance, exposure, etc.). Then I uninstalled and reinstalled my photoshop CS6, nothing has changed. I then downloaded a 7 day trial of CC in Photoshop to see if the last "photoshop" had the same problem, which was the case.  Finally, I took the computer to the store and they wiped and re installed my CS6 on it, nothing had changed.

    Sorry for the story back for a long time, but I was wondering if anyone else had similar problems, or if it seems you good? I'm just afraid that this new laptop should be the same, if not more quickly on photoshop, but he is underperforming compared to a Macbook which is 4 years older. I understand that it may not seem like a big deal, but when you work with as many photos as I do, such as small lag like this can add hours on my time of the edict.

    I'm pretty convinced that it is the new laptop is defective, but nothing has yet come with diagnosis, so it would be good to know if it is something that I should wait when photoshop is put on a new Macbook Pro like mine. Thanks a lot for your help

    Kind regards.

  • I bought Creative Suite 5.5 in 2012 on disk. How I can install this on the new Macbook pro?

    My old Macbook Pro died this year, so I bought a new Macbook Pro without a hard drive.

    To install CS 5.5, I tried to copy the contents of the drive in an external USB HDD via another computer.

    When I try to start the installation, told me that 'the installer could not be initialized. Get Adobe Support Advisor to record the problem' (translated from Danish, then it may not correct).

    However Adobe Support Advisor is discontinued, so I can't follow these instructions.

    What would be the proper way to install it to a Macbook Pro without a hard drive?

    Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.
