Can I Download Updates From A Different Computer?

The Internet connection here at the office is terrible. Whenever I have to upload or download large files, I do it from home.
I installed CS5 Master Collection a year ago, and I haven't been able to get any of the updates. (Every attempt to get the updates results in failure.)
Is there a way I can download the updates on my computer at home, bring the file(s) to work, and install them on my office computer? Will I have to dig up the serial number (it's been a year) or will it recognize that I already have the software installed on my computer. What do I download?
(I wish this wasn't so much work.)

Sure...just click the downloads link at the top of the page and find the updates you need. Download them, burn them to a CD and run them when you get to work.

Downloading songs from a different computer with out reformatting my i pod

Hey there, it's probably a common question. Is there any way to download songs from a different computer with out having to reformat the ipod and lose all my songs i have on there. I've tried it once and it wiped my ipod clean of all my songs. Very annoying. cheers

Hello noboo79,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
On the computer you have initially the set the iPod up on and for, you can enable the "manually manage music and videos" option from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes. This will allow you to sync contect to the iPod from multiple computers. Otherwise, there is no other way.
Here is more on using your iPod with multiple computers as well as manually managing your iPod's contents.

Can I download songs from a different itunes account onto my ipod?

Can I download songs from a different ipod account onto my ipod without affecting anything?

Different account or different computer? It is two completely seperate things.
While it is possible to have media on the device from multiple accounts it is not possible to sync with multiple computers.

HT204053 My ipad stores my documents on iCloud. How can I find them from a different computer, as I used to do by using a memory stick on my old PC etc ?

My ipad stores my documents in iCloud. How can I find them from a different computer? I used to use a memory stick and could work on my documents on any computer and want to have a replacement system using documents created on my ipad - I can't use a memory stick with it.

How do you know that they are on iCloud, the iPad can (and does) save locally. If they are on iCloud they will be accessible via the application that created them (Pages, Numbers etc) and can be reached from any computer with iCloud access by logging to iCloud.com. But you did that and stated that they are not there, so what makes you think that they are?

Hi,
Try the following
First of all, uninstall your current version of HP Support Assistant by using the Microsoft 'Fixit' on the following link - this is particularly useful in correcting issues that may prevent reinstallation on machines running a 64bit OS.

When this has completed, restart the notebook.
Next download and install the latest version of HP Support Assistant from the page on the link below - the download links are towards the bottom of the page.

After the installation, restart the notebook again.

I can't download updates from the update option in PS CS 5.1.

I can't download updates from the update option in PS CS 5.1. Also having trouble installing the update directly from ADOBE. The program is crashing my system on a regular basis. Anybody got any ideas?

It might help if you were a bit more specific, e.g., ''I chose Help - Updates, and this happened, then that happened, then an error message that stated 'xxxxxx' was displayed''.
It could also help others help you if you'd describe your system - what kind of hardware, what operating system, etc. One good way to do that is to choose Help - System Info in Photoshop, then copy and paste the info into a post here.

Can I update my brothers iPhone and iPad to ios5 from my computer or can he only update from his own computer that he currently uses to sync

Can I update my brothers iPhone and iPad to ios5 from my computer or can he only update from his own computer that he currently uses to sync?
Thanks joanlvh

You can update it on your computer, but then when he syncs it to his own it will say this iphone is already synced with another itunes account bla bla and will ask you if you want to sync it with this account. It will wipe anything you put on it using your own itunes account. BUT it wont wipe off the new iOS5

Can´t download updates from Apple

Hey there,
I am having troubles to get any Apple updates for my devices.
iMac 27" late 2013
     Problems with: RAW-Compatibility Update
     App-Store lists the update, but when I hit the button, the download starts very (extremely) slow and after a while just stops the whole process
MacBook Air 11" Mid 2012
     Problems with: OSx Yosemite
     App-Store has the download available and in the downloads list. Same behaviour as above, the download starts very slow (around 120kb after 5Min) after a while the update just stops.
iPhone 6 (iOS 8.02)
     Problems with: iOS 8.1
     Fresh device, delivered yesterday. First thing I was going for was to update iOS to apply my old phones backup.
     When I start the Update process it just quits after a couple of minutes, saying update isn´t possible at the moment. I can´t see what happens since the dialog doesn't give further informations.
I am using FTH with 50M down, connection is working and I did a system test for my router - no problems here. (IPv6 connection)
I did a Game-Download from Steam for testing purposes - reaching full speed.
I downloaded Microsoft Excel for my iPhone6+ (other device as mentioned above) which did´t cause any problems as well.
I am only having troubles to receive/download system Updates
I hope you can see what I am trying to describe, since english is not my native language.
Does anyone have a suggestion, what could cause the problems and what I can do to solve them?
Thanks in advance

Hi...
You're English is perfect
Even though you tested the router, restart your internet modem and router then restart one of the Macs to test. If you can download updates there, then theoretically, it should work on all devices.

How can I download books from a different country on itunes

I want to download books from the Portuguese itunes

You can't (easily). You have to have a Portuguese credit card billed to an address in Portugal, and strictly speaking also be actually in Portugal when downloading.

HT201302 Can I tranfer photos from a different computer onto another via an Ipod 5th gen?

I had saved all of my family photos onto my ipod nano 5th gen. Due to sperstorm sandy I lost my desktop and all of the photos. My ipod is not trasfering the photos from the old computer. Is there really no way to do this? "You can import only photo and video content taken with the built-in camera or captured on the device. You cannot import photo or video content synced from iTunes." - This deeply troubles me. I am able to transfer the videos captured by the Ipod but not my old photos.

For synced photos you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView.

Can't download updates from either Software Update or Apple Downloads

The update (whether of iTunes 8.2, Security Update 2009-002, or QuickTime) appears to be downloading completely but then I get a red exclamation mark, an "unspecified error" message, and a failure to install. I've run Disk Repair from Install disk, which says disk is fine, and have run extended Hardware Test from Install disk, which says computer is fine. Does anyone else have this problem? Please help! Thanks. -Elroc

*" When I went into Preferences, though, I noticed nearly twenty empty folders with nonsense names like v0ê)∂øˇ‘–†(A. Could that reflect a problem somewhere?"*
Yes it could. Delete any files like that. They could be old preference files from software you don't use anymore. Delete them and restart your Mac.
Don't see the Genius Bar just yet.
Check the hard disk for errors. I know you said you did this but make sure just in case.
Insert the installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
If the hard disk appears to be ok... see if you can download and install the 10.4.11 combo update which contains fixes for 10.5.1 up to 10.4.11 available here.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
If that doesn't work, if it were me, I'd back up my important data and try and Archive and Install.
Instructions here. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710 This does NOT erase the hard disk but restores your system software.

Can not download photos from iphone to computer or mobile me

i havent been able to download my pictures from my iphone to my computer thru itunes at all i went to the local at&t store but instead they convinced me that buying mobile me would automatically sync my photos and still havent figured that out please help so frusturated..............

Hi, Kortiz - I think your question was -"i havent been able to download my pictures from my iphone to my computer . . . please help so frusturated.............. "
Excuse the babble as this is written quickly but I too just was setting up my iPhone 3GS with to get test photos I shot today onto my MAC computer, and I was "frusturated" TOO! I have a deep knowledge of Apple products, a MobileMe acct and I own Aperture, a wonderfully powerful program (expensive also, but also have APPL stock, so I balance that with positive returns) - but spent way over an hour trying to sleuth it out - only then turned to the internet to find others were in the same position.
I am a die-hard Apple Supporter, but finding a way to transfer 30 photos was far from intuitive, (I think I could only email-upload 5 at a time) and interestingly the "manual" as well as a "Dummies" book someone leant me as a joke do not address the process properly - they focus on a process to upload TO your iPhone - as does the answer from k8 below - why is this?! The answer was that you have to have an updated version of iPhoto or Aperture and figure it out from there (not obvious either), but even Aperture took more steps than were needed for what SHOULD be a simple transfer to the folder of your choice.
There is no doubt that Apple wants us all to spend a lot of time around the iTunes money machine (again, fine with me, bought stock when it was $17+ share) but why do iPhone "DEVICES" show up only in iTunes and not as part of a transparent system functionality? Most cameras and flash memory just pop up as a folder on the Macintosh desktop allowing a SIMPLE "drag and Drop" copy from a DEVICE to a PHOTO folder (or any other folder for that matter).
WHY have the design and engineering teams made it so convoluted for some of these issues when they have thought out FAR more complex actions so elegantly?
So, here are some questions I have in return if any APPLE techs are out there - (as I have not received a non "hedgy" answer from anyone of the "genius" employees)
The iPhone does not come up on the desktop as a "DEVICE"
iPhoto therefore cannot "IMPORT" the photos.
Wouldn't this make sence based on the "way" we do other actions on the MAC (or eek -PC)?
Someone in this forum answered " iTunes doesn't transfer photos from the camera roll to your computer. Get them as you would from any digital camera. "
Q: Why not use ONE program to deal with receipt from as well as transfer to the base computer?
Q: "Get them as you would from any digital camera" I WISH!!! Why do even SONY cameras just pop up as a folder on the Macintosh desktop allowing a SIMPLE "drag and Drop" copy from device to PHOTO folder?
AND WHY SHOULD THIS STATEMENT BE TAKEN AT FACE VALUE?:
"iTunes will only sync photos from your computer to the photo album on your phone. The previous post covers that."
Q: Although we have learned since the early OSX days Apple no longer makes things to purely benefit the user without putting profits first and drawing continuing blood or cash second for the long term (just an observance) how can this issue be part of the grand plan for world domination? Isn't there some elegant behind the scenes way of allowing downloads as well as uploads from iTunes without leaving it?
Best, Tom

Can't download purchased itune on different computer

I gave my daughter my account info so she could purchase and download a song into her iTunes. This is a song I have not ordered before - first time song. I have a pc, she has a Mac. She had complete access, it downloaded somewhere, but she can't see it or play it. iTunes did not ask her to register her computer either. Would there be a problem with compatibility of the pc info and Mac info. I have a hunch it shouldn't matter. Any suggestions on a remedy so she can play this song without having to purchase it again from her own account?

... it downloaded somewhere, but she can't see it or play it.
Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and let us know if you're able to find the purchased song.
