A basic phone with no internet access.

I need a phone for my son with no internet access whatsoever. I have him set up on a plan that allows me to block data but if he has access to wifi he can still access the internet. I am talking about non smartphones. I am frustrated and disappointed that AT&T (or anyone else) does not offer a phone that is not wifi enabled. Even a $9.99 tracfone gives web access!

Thanks to both of you for your replies. My son only needs a phone when he travels which is about 10 days out of the year so gophone is definitely the way to go. I just found that you have to be very careful with the phone that you use. Most phones today - even the $10-$15 flip phones - allow WiFi access. You can block paid data use on the phone but if a phone allows for WiFi connectivity there is no way to block that access in public places where WiFi is free (i.e. airports). I had to go with an older (used) phone to find one that did not have WiFi connectivity. We had an old Pantech Laser laying around that worked. Then I had to have AT&T block the data to the phone. FYI for gophones they cannot block this in the store you have to call in and do it over the phone. This was not explained to me and so the first trip with the phone my son was accessing data. I gave AT&T an earful as I had carefully explained I needed data blocked and was told it was done. They credited me the data charges. I am not sure if the AT&T Z222 has WiFi capability or not. In the specs it says it does but the salespeople at the AT&T store says it does not. I had originally tried a $9.99 Tracfone from Walmart and was told that it did not have data access. That information was incorrect.

I agree with you, I tried different SOL editor and it work
when i tried.
I believe what I used was more than SOL explorer/reader
rather then editor
even tho it has this option is seem the file stop working and
hence the
problem I was claiming about the files not work properly.
Perhaps it was changing something and flash did not like
these changes.
Anyhow, I did try another tool and did manage to work.
Thanks

Won't comment on that one :) Something just seem way
unnecessary and silly...

Using Creative Cloud on a desktop in a rural area with no Internet access

I have a Creative Cloud subscription for my home desktop. I will soon be participating in a photography workshop in a rural area with NO INTERNET ACCESS. I don't own a laptop and will be hauling my desktop to the place we're staying. I know the software is installed on the machine and I should be fine with using it without online access, correct? Am I also correct in thinking it won't be "seen" as being used on a second computer because while I use it on this trip I won't have Internet access and therefore no IP address?

Hi there
The only thing that might cause you trouble is if your workshop is over a month long. While using applications downloaded from Creative Cloud, internet access is required once a month for a routine license check. Here's a snipet from the Creative Cloud FAQ:
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
Do I need ongoing Internet access to use my Creative Suite applications?
Because your Creative Suite applications are installed directly on your computer, you will not need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis. However, you will need to be online when you install and license your software, and at least once every 30 days thereafter. The software will alert you when you need to connect to the Internet for a license status check.
A quick note: if the product is unable to verify your license at the 30 day mark, a 7-day grace period will begin. However, if you are not able to access internet within those 7 days, your applications will be blocked (Soucre: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4513667#4513667)
Regarding your second question - as long as you are using the same device you already have your applications installed on, you'll still only have one device registered to your account.
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to post here again.
Cheers!

I received a text today while at work about iCloud keychain verification code. I have not signed up for it or anything that uses it. I work out of the city with limited internet access so not sure why I would be getting this. Is my info safe??

I received a text today while at work about iCloud keychain verification code. I have not signed up for it or anything that uses it. I work out of the city with limited internet access so not sure why I would be getting this. I only got this number about a month ago. Apparently someone else had the number before because I get texts from his family members wondering whats going on. I got one yesterday and the person didn't seem to thrilled that the number was cutoff and today I got 2 texts about iCloud Keychain which I don't even know what it is. Seems suspicious to me. If the person who use to own the number is doing it he should know it is not his number anymore because he obviously didn't pay his bills. I'm not too sure about iCloud Keychain so just want to know my info safe?? It says it can store credit card numbers which is what gets me worried. Frankly I think it's pretty stupid to save that kind if information with any kind of app. But I don't want some random person trying to access my personal information because they are bitter they lost their number. Please let me know as soon as possible so I can change passwords or anything that is needed.
thanks

If it were me, I would go to my carrier and get a new number. Since you have only had it for a month, the inconvenience would be minimal.

I want to install Flash on a computer with no internet access. How do I do this?

I want to install Flash on a computer with no internet access. When I tried to download, I got a message that Flash is already installed. Yes, it is, on my PC. I want it on my laptop, too. How do I accomplish this?

Download the Adobe Flash Player offline FULL installer directly by right clicking one of the following links and selecting "Save target as" (IE), "Save Link As" (FIrefox) or "Download Linked File As" (Safari).

Adobe id with no internet access?

I bought Photoshop Elements 12 (in a box) for a friend of mine. She installed it on a computer with no internet access and now the "creat adobe id or your program will quit working" dialog box keeps coming up. How can she keep her program working without an internet connection? I do not appreciate Adobe forcing people who buy physical product to register them online!

She will have to connect the machine to the Internet at least once to activate and log-in with an Adobe ID. It does state on the box that an Internet connection is required to do this. If that is a real problem for her then, depending on where you bought it, you may be able to return it for a full refund.

Is there a basic phone with wifi?

Is there a basic phone with wifi capability? Looking for a phone for my 12 year old, he doesn't need a $30 or $40 month data plan.

My yes. Many young ones have them because their parents won't get them smart phones and a lot of my older friends have them. Much smaller than carrying a tablet around. Only other option is there is a carrier that does not require data on their smart phones so you can have talk and text for $35 a month and just use the wifi but you have to pay the retail for the phone is the bad part.

Replace basic phone with No-Contract $399 Moto X, and have only WiFi data?

The family is on a Shared Talk and Text, 700 minutes, four basic phones and I have a Droid Razr + 30/month data plan, could I replace one or more of the basic phones with a no-contract Moto X and keep the plan? And let the kids hit the WiFi, but not have to pay for when they away from the house? Seems too good to be true.
Sorry for this being my first post, I sure hope I can book mark this so I can come back to it. Maybe the word zygote might help me find it later

It would be a replacement, not a new telephone number, if that makes things clearer. All the same, you are saying Verizon will insist on data, even though no-contract?

Basic phone with sliding QWERTY keyboard

I am looking for Basic phone with sliding QWERTY keyboard, that will text and send pictures without a data plan.
I am now on disability and can't continue with the high cost of data plans.
I was using my Droid 4 but without Data turned on it will text but will not send pictures.
My daughter is sending me an LG-505c so I am hoping that will work but I would still like to get my calender on the phone also.
anyway I need ideas on what phones will work.

The LG ENV3 will work without a data plan, as will several of the older "multimedia" phones and basic phones. My husband is still using an LG VX 5400; my mom uses an LG VX 5200 and both send and receive picture messages (though they are small). Samsung Sway, Alias, LG Voyager, EnvTouch - all of these work without a data plan, and will send and receive texts.

Multiple Server with dedicated Internet access Network

Hello everyone ..
Ok .. keeping it as short as I could ..
Current setup:
2 Dell PowerEdge 2950 Servers Windows Server 2008 R2 each connected to it's own TP-Link router (TL-WR741ND) with static IP for dedicated internet connection ..
Switch:
Cisco Catalyst 2950 switch.
Problems:
1) How to connect both servers to a LAN enabling them to communicat with each other directly regadless of the separate internet access ..
2) How to use USB-Ethernet adapter to re-configure the switch.
Any thoughts are highly appreciated ..

sounds like your dns server has stopped working or your netmask or router setting in your network config changed.
test to see if your dns failed
ping -c 5 8.8.8.8
ping -c 5 google.com
if 8.8.8.8 works, but google.com doesn't - then you have failed dns.
Changing your dns settings can have some consequences - so I can't provife a universal suggestion here.
In general though, your computer should be using itself for DNS (in network settings, dns, it should have 127.0.0.1 as the primary address). And your DNS server should be setup with your server hostname. Run this utility to check.
sudo changeip -checkhostname

Enterprise Manager in secure environment with no internet access

I have Oracle 11g installed in a secure isolated environment, which means there is limited access to the servers, and definitely no internet access from that environment.
I am looking to configure Enterprise Manager / Database control.
I can successfully start up the application server on my database server, and connect to this from a web browser within my secure environment.
However when I try to display the Performance tab, nothing is displayed.
I understand this screen uses an ActivX component.
Is the use of the ActivX component going to have problems because my servers have no direct internet access, or should this not make any difference?
Thanks
Paul Graves

No this is not going to make any difference.
You don't need any internet connection at all for working with OEM GC.
Maybe, if you want to configure the Patch Setup to receive Patch Adviories from My Oracle Support, but even then you can do without a connection from you server(s) to the internet.
Asuming that you are using OEM GC 10.2.0.5, you will also be needing the installation of Flash Player and Adobe SVG Plugin, both to be installed in your browser.
Kind regards
Rob
For more information on working with OEM GC, you might want to check http://oemgc.wordpress.com

ATV2 via ethernet to imac with no internet access - possible?

I have the ATV2 and its works great - and i can use it for streaming my own films that we have produced and encoded to mp4 - straight to my 36 inch TV in our living room...
...BUT I want to take my 36 inch TV with my iMac to a wedding exhibition and play my films on my 36 inch tv from my iMac - so i thought connect why dont i connect my ATV2 via an ethernet cable to my iMac then HMDI cable from the AVT2 to the TV and i should be able to access all the film content that is in iTunes as HD mp4 content on my iMac so prospective clients can see mp4 HD versions of our films - as at the exhibition they will be viewing them from about 3 feet away rather than the usual 10 -12 feet when viewing a DVD at home.
Would this work anyone tried it? i have read some folks have had problems doing this as they need to have internet access as they are accessing their .mac account for home sharing and with no internet avaibale i wont have that facility and dont need it at the exhibition.

Yes, I'd certainly try it before you go. I've tested this on the Apple TV 1 and confirmed it works but haven't tested it with my Apple TV 2.
If worst comes to worst using a cheap router will work, you don't need to connect it to the internet.

WSUS For Clients With No Internet Access

This is more of a functional question than an issue.
Right now I have WSUS set to 'Store update files locally' and it works great. With an ever expanding number and size of updates, I don't have space to keep storing the necessary updates on my WSUS server.
If I set WSUS to 'Do not store update files locally', will my clients without internet access still be able to get updates? Many of my devices are behind firewalls that do not permit access to the internet in any form. I'm trying to avoid adding
storage if at all possible.
Thanks,
Brian

Correct, if you set WSUS to 'do not store update files locally', then your clients without internet access will not be able to access Microsoft Update to download the files without you creating a firewall exception. Which sounds like an awkward way to do
it.
(1) Are you on top of your regular maintenance with WSUS, ie, declining superseded updates, running Server Cleanup Wizard in the recommended order?
(2) Are you confident that the classification of updates being downloaded is appropriate and nothing un-needed (e.g drivers/absent OS) are being downloaded? Have you chosen to download the space-hogging express installation files?
(1) and (2) would be generally better practise then 'do not store updates locally', but if bandwidth is cheap or irrelevant for you, then perhaps you might be tempted to not store updates locally. In your situation where you have a reason to deny clients
internet access, it would seem like a lot of paperwork, and technical expertise, to only allow them internet access for updates. (plus, I'm not sure it's possible, just presume it would be)
What are your numbers? (size of WSUSContent, WSUSDatabase, space on drives?)
