Activating a machine that is offline

This is not an After Effects issue but since I was forced to pick a product, I picked that since I have it.
I work as a contractor for the government in a secure building. I can't connect my machine to the internet because of network regulations. (They're ridiculously stupid but I have no say over it.)
I used the offline computer to generate a Request Code.
I went to www.adobe.com/go/getactivated and used the generated Request Code as well as the product's Serial Number in the fields specified therein.
Instead of getting a Response Code, I get 2 'Invalid' errors, one for each of the numbers I enter. I have checked them for accuracy repeatedly. They are correct, yet the Adobe site insists they are wrong.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

These public forums cannot provide any help with licensing and activation - you need to contact Customer Services who will be able to check the information you're entering.

Robohelp activated on machine that's in landfill

Ok, the other machine really isn't in a landfill, but it went to the recycling center months ago and had an activated version of RH 8 on it. I had already installed it on my next PC, but since Adobe lets you have two versions activated, nobody paid attention to it. Now I need my second copy for my laptop to take work home, and I can't activate it. Anyone know how to deactivate a version?

Jeff's is the better solution but you could deactivate the work machine, activate the laptop, work, reverse those steps. It might be quicker for a one off situation.

Deleting machines that aren't actually gone?

So we changed companies & domains at work and some of our machines were still pointed to the old Site Code info in their SCCM Client. The only way we were able to fix these was to run the CCMSETUP /UNINSTALL command and then go delete the SMS key
from the registry under HKLM/Software/Microsoft/SMS.
Once that was done I could repush the client from SCCM and it would install fine.
We're getting to the end of our list of machines to fix, but some of the machines are actually old and don't exist any more which is why they say No for having the client.
If I just take all the machines that say No and delete them out of SCCM completely, if any of them a really active machines, they will show back up on their own as everything refreshes through the system... right? Just wanted to see if I'm in
any danger if I delete an actual machine from SCCM and if it would then not show back up and would be a phantom machine of some sort.
Thanks.

Clients will never change their assigned site automatically and you don't have to uninstall the client in order to re-assign it. You can either push the new one or run a script to re-assign them (given that you did not use a GPO to assign the clients - if
so: you would have to clean up the registry first).
Deleted clients will be added again by heartbeat discovery (if they were already reporting to the new site).

Activated Time Machine in Yosemite shows black screen

I installed yosemite 10.10.2 at my MacBook Pro 2009 17 inch. with 8GB memory and switched in the time machine from a My Book (2009) to an Airport (2015) 2TB disk. This required four attempts before the first backup at the airport was successful. However when I activate the time machine, my screen turns black and mac book crashes. I have to restart the pc hard. During the shutting down only an instant the activated time machine screen appears. After the restart the problem occurs again. I saw I am not the only one at a lot of communities but couldn't find any solutions.
It would be great if there is a solution for this bug. Anybody from Apple (or power users) any Ideas?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Data Cache on the Same Machine that db 8.1.7

I just wanna ask you how usefull is to install data cache if i am installing 9ias on the same machine that the data base??.
why should or shouldn't i do it??

the purpose of the data cache is to store high activity read only tables on the mid-tier web server's platform to avoid making network round trips to the back-end or "origin" rdbms residing on another platform.
since you have placed both the ias mid-tier and the rdbms on the same platform, it seems to me that you have defeated the purpose of having and using the data cache.
other opinions are welcome.

The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component 'GUID′ in search application 'Search Service Application' is in a good state and try again.

Another post with a well-known title. Believe me, I know. Here's my setup;
- 1 Server 2012 WFE, SharePoint Server 2013, totally up-to-date, including the september 2014 hotfix
- 1 Server 2012 DB, SQL Server 2012
Installed SP 2013 using PowerShell, with the AutoSPinstaller. Worked like a charm. Got everything up and running, with some tweaking here and there to customize it to fit my situation. Now, I can't get the Search Service Application to work. Must have created,
deleted and recreated it at least 30 times. Used both PowerShell scripts, PowerShell line-by-line, Central Admin, heck, I even went so far as to use the configuration wizzard... No luck. I keep on getting the message that search cannot connect to the machine
that hosts the 'administration component'.
In order to avoid answers that suggest all the things I've already tried, here's a summary of the various scenarios I followed:
Tried both a dedicated application pool as well as the SharePoint Web Services Default
Timer job job-application-server-admin-service is running and not showing errors
IIS 8.0 is installed, so is .NET 4.5 (not the known perp of IIS 7.5 and .NET 4.0)
the get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -local returns a healthy, online state
the SPEnterpriseSearchQueryAndSiteSettingsServiceInstance is also running
FireWall is disabled; registry has the BackConnectionHostNames modified with the necessary FQDNs
Accounts used to install and / or run the serviceapp all have sufficient rights - tried a dedicated managed account, SP_2013_SearchSvc, the SP admin account, and even the original Farm account; all to no avail, I keep on getting the error message.
Even tried stsadm to start the server search running - NOTHING WORKS!!!
As you might understand, this is driving me nuts. About to miss my second deadline, and no amount of IISresetting is making this go away. Been stuck on this issue for far too long, now (my searching is measured in days and weeks instead of hours, by now).
Whoever helps me solve this - you will have my eternal gratitude, and a nice bottle of Prosecco. Or whatever's your poison. You need to come get it, though. I´m situated in the Netherlands. Hey, you always meant to visit Amsterdam and see for yourself, right?
Thanks, community, for coming to my rescue!

Thanks again - Alas, I've been there. Deleted Search a dozen times, at least, and tried installing it, initially using a PowerShell script (tried several scripts actually, from full-blown total Search Applications with extensive topologies to the most basic
of basics 'please just start without showing me errors'), PowerShell line-by-line to see where things went South, next tried installing through Central Admin (hoping that it was my own stupidity in overlooking things and hoping The System would get it right
for me), and eventually even tried using the config wizzard as a total and utter last resort - Nothing worked.
At first, I found out that removing a Service App needs a *little* bit more work than simply removing it through Central Admin, but by now I can truthfully state that if there's one thing I've become supergood at, it's removing Search Service Applications.Totally.
I will check out the article, though - I realized early on in my SharePoint experience that regardless of what you think you know, there's so much more to find out. I know, that's almost philosophical. That is, my friends, indeed the point I've reached...

The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component

Hi
After uninstalling the binaries, and reinstalling / joining back to the farm, everything seems happy expect search.
When we try and start the Search Service back, it takes us to the Search Application section, and shows this message;
The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component
How can I get search to work again, or get around this error?
I am pretty inexperienced with Search

Hi Tibsy80,
For your issue, it can be caused by the search admin timer job was disabled.
Run below PS command to know the status:
Get-SPTimerJob job-application-server-admin-service | fl
If it returns “IsDisabled: True”, ran below PS command to enable the service:
Enable-SPTimerJob job-application-server-admin-service
Then run below PS command to stop and start the timer and IIS reset:
Net Stop timer
Net start timer
iisreset
Then wait 1-2 min and try browsing to the SSA again.

Thank you

Well, if you did it yourself, then there is a chance that you damaged some other component inside the device that is causing your issue. The iPhone's are not user serviceable, and once you have opened the device you have voided any warranty and post-warranty support from Apple. I would try Google to see if you can find any other way to repair your device, as Apple will no longer look at it.

HT1386 How many different computers can I sync my iPod with? My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer.

How many different computers can I sync my iPod with? My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer when I sync my iPod.

You can sync with onee at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

Hi, why can't I use the iMessage on my iPhone? I've already had my apple id email on it but it keeps saying "waiting for activation" always like that. No progress. Could anybody help me on this? Cheers

I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
iOS version 6.1.6
I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
Here is what finally worked:
1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
4) Settings > Messages > Sign In

Virtual Machine disks are attached to a machine that no longer exists

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/WAVirtualMachinesforWindows/thread/2695008b-59e7-478b-8169-8ceb9b0d848d
Continuation of the above issue..
I've deleted a machine via power shell but the disks are still associated with the old machine. I also see a disk there that belongs to a machine that was deleted a couple of weeks ago through the management console. Is there any way to resolve
the associations?
I'd like to delete the one disk that belongs to the older server but I need to retain a couple of disks that pertain to the server mentioned in the above referenced thread where I was trying to resolve an unknown state by deleting and recreating the machine
through power shell.

I found the command to use to remove these disks using the Windows Azure Powershell cmdlets:
Remove-AzureDisk -DiskName <string> -DeleteVHD
Output:
OperationDescription OperationId OperationStatus
Remove-AzureDisk xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx... Succeeded
It took a bit of fiddling around with management certificates to get the Get-AzureDisk cmdlet working, but once that is done this removed both the disks from the portal, and the associated VHD files from blob storage.
Here are the steps I used:
C:\PS>$subID = <Subscription ID>
C:\PS>$thumbprint = <Certificate Thumbprint>
C:\PS>$myCert = Get-Item cert:\\CurrentUser\My\$thumbprint
C:\PS>Set-AzureSubscription -SubscriptionName "MySub" -SubscriptionId $subID -Certificate $myCert
Then Get-AzureDisk works and you can proceed with removing the disk(s).

Can you share photos between machines that use the same wifi network? Thanks for your help.

Can you share photos on i-photo between machines that use the same network or even between different accounts on the same machine? I know you can share music on i-tunes but can you do the same on i-photo? Thanks for your help.

Yes.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
You can figure out using it with another machine from that too

Is there ANY way to track an IPod that is offline, out of battery, and/or not connected to the internet?

On the week of October 21 2014, I lost my IPod. I searched in all the places I remembered it to be last, but despite my best efforts, I still have not found it. I even used the "Find My IPhone" app, but it yielded no results so far. If you know anyone who has the means to locate an IPod that is offline, out of battery or not connected to the internet, please as soon as you can!

No, to show up in iCloud it must have Find My turned on in Settings > iCloud and be powered up and be connected to the internet.
There is no other way an iOS device can be located.
