Can't use old AI materials in AI CS6?

Hi. I've been using Illustrator to draw certain parts of illustrations-like surgical instruments in a drawing otherwise done by hand or in Photoshop-through many versions of Illustrator. CS3, CS5 and now CS6. And I'm having trouble now making use of the old, saved instrument files because it's impossible to "join"lines in them. There may be other problems as well, but that one is the biggie right now. Is it understood that old Illustrator files will be difficult to manipulate in newer versions of the program? I would have thought that a vector file is a vector file, etc. I have older versions of AI, but there's an activation issue I have to sort out first. SHOULD I be able to work with older files in AI CS6?

Jet:
Thanks for the note. The paths I am trying to join are as simple as it gets. See attached. Two black lines on a white BG, two ends of an outline, and on one layer, not stacked, no stray points around them. What I'm trying to do is join parts of the outline so that I can turn, say, a collection of lines into a closed shape to fill it with white. My only recourse now is to export the shape to Photoshop, where it's going anyway, then complete the outline with the brush tool and use paintbucket to add white to it and all the subshapes. Tedious. And I have to admit, I'm still "joining" the same way I was in 1998. Is there a knowledgebase article or a link that will give me the straight poop? The attached image is black lines, probably drawn 10 years ago, and none of the lines can now be joined. The arrows point to places I'd like to "join", but can't. No power on earth will do it. Go any ideas?

Can't use the keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop CS6 when updating Mavericks

Can't use the keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop CS6 when updating Mavericks

Thanks everyone. What worked for me was a version of the suggestions above. I had the problem with the ≠ character appearing in all my Photoshop CS6 keyboard shortcuts and rendering them largely unusable. However, I don't have any other keyboards besides US English enabled on my Mac. I do have Spell Catcher installed, which works through the keyboard input method. So, I switched from Spell Catcher back to English (with the US flag), launched Photoshop and presto, my keyboard shortcuts were restored, absent that obnoxious ≠ symbol. Once in Photoshop, if I reselect Spell Catcher, the ≠ symbol returns so I have to run Photoshop without the help of Spell Catcher - or forego the use of keyboard shortcuts while it's on. Since the developer of Spell Catcher passed away last year there will be no more updates to the otherwise very useful utility. Apparently this keyboard shortcut problem in the various guises reported here is linked to some element of the OS X input method in Mavericks, as Photoshop seems to manifest the issue in relation to one specific input source or another. This is the first application in my experience to have a problem with Spell Catcher in OS X 10.9. So I will continue to use it, except in Photoshop. Spell Catcher was never updated for Mountain Lion or Mavericks so people like me will have to use it "at our own risk" as the saying goes. Be that as it may, it does appear to be a bug in Photoshop that's at the root of this matter as different people have somewhat different problems with the OS X input method - not that I expect either Adobe or Apple to do anything about it.

How to format new hard drive for Apple TV when you can't use old HD

I need to know how to format a new HD to install in my Apple TV where I can't use the old HD to clone or otherwise create the new structure on the new HD.
I have an Apple TV that was syncing to a Mac Mini that had a defective HD and logic board. I was unable to backup the Apple TV to the Mac Mini for some time before I had the mini repaired by AppleCare.
When the mini came back, it registered on the Apple TV as a new computer and I couldn't sync with it without losing hundreds of dollars of content.
All was okay until the other night when Apple's defective update for the ATV erased ALL my content. I updated it to 3.1 this morning, which Apple indicated might fix the problem. It didn't. The old content is all gone.
My ATV is out of warranty, so I removed the old HD and copied the files from the "Purchased" folder to my mini. That saved most 101 items that I purchased since 12/08 (but not all for some reason). I lost all content prior to 12/08 that I purchased, as well as some content since 12/08 that I purchased.
I need to keep the old HD untouched until I can purchase data recovery software. I'd like to just put a spare IDE HD in that I have into the ATV and just start over with what is in my Mac mini iTunes.
So, how does one do that? I'm not gifted with vast Unix knowledge or experience and I don't want to clone the old HD and risk losing more data if it writes to the HD for some reason.
Thanks.

Hi Atagahi,
Firstly, have you emailed Apple iTunes support indicating your issue? There have been instances in which Apple will allow re-downloading of all content you've purchased on the iTunes store.
Secondly, I highly recommend you get an external usb hard drive, attach it to your mini and use it as a Time Machine drive to keep your iTunes purchases safe. It's a fact of life that all hard disk drives will eventually fail. The Apple TV should never be used as any kind of permanent storage space; think of it as a 'temporary holding' zone. And as you've unfortunately already experienced, a glitch wiped out all content on the Apple TV.
As regards your original question, it seems like there have been folks who've done just that...taken the internal drive in the Apple TV out and attached it to a mac and copied files from the Apple TV hard drive. I have not had to do such, so I cannot offer any help here except for Linda's suggestion on googling the net for solutions.
Good luck and hope you get all your purchased content back Atagahi!

Can I use old time machine as external hard drive

I just bought the new 2 TB time machine, and I have an old 2 TB time machine. Can I use the old TM as an external hard drive? If so, do I just use a usb cable to connect it to my computer? Thanks for help.

You cannot use it by USB..
You can use it via the network.. bridge the old TC and plug it by ethernet into the new one.
You can then access it and use it via network the same as the new TC.

Can you use old droid chargers on the droid turbo

can you use the old chargers say droid razr maxx to charge your turbo?

The Droid Razr Maxx charger will charge your Turbo but at a somewhat reduced rate of charge and take a much longer time period to reach full charge. The "Turbo Charger" gives an increase in voltage that it delivers to higher than a regular 5 volt USB charger. This allows for a faster charge rate and the battery has been made and tested for this faster/higher heating range to be safe.

Can't use old installed version of CS6 because old subscription of CC says subscription expired

My school bought Creative Suite CS6 and as an educational product I am allowed to install this at home as a teacher as I need it to prepare work. I am a teacher and paid for Adobe CC subscription so I could evaluate the new version at home. I cancelled my subscription and now Creative suite tells me that the subscription has lapsed and I now can't use CS6 which we paid for? Any ideas because I am getting a little frustrated here as I need to mark some KS5 coursework.

uninstall everything cc and run the cleaner, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
then unstinstall everything cs6 and run the cleaner.
finally, reinstall your paid-for cs6 using your serial number to activate.

Can I use Premiere Elements templates for Encore CS6

LIke the title says.... can I use menu templates from Premiere Elements for Encore CS6? If so, does it matter what version of PRE?
I've seen some templates on the web (e.g. muvipix) but don't know if I could use them in Encore.
I saw somebody asked a similar question for CS4, didn't know what, if anything, had changed...
ETA: Just FYI, I downloaded the Encore CS6 Functional Content and installed it, but honestly I'm not sure if it added any templates or what.... :)

Also, I have to say, for stuff on that's so valuable, Adobe has made the page very hard to find and made the instructions as clear as mud.
First, I'm still not clear on what the difference is between "Functional Content" and "Resource Central Library Content".
Second, as far as I can tell, I never had the problem being addressed by the page (i.e. "When you access the Library panel in Adobe Encore, the panel contains no content."). My library panel always had content, just not a lot of it.
My problem would more accurately be described as "When you access the Library panel in Adobe Encore, the panel contains surprisingly little content.". So the mother lode of content I was looking for was buried as an "Additional Solution" for a problem I didn't have.
And lastly, the Functional Content is some oddly double-zipped self-extracting affair, and the "Resource Central Content is a more straight-forward compressed file, but unlike the Functional Content, it's a .7z file so you have to download a 7-zip compatible decompression tool.
It's awesome that Adobe has that content, so I hate to complain, but it's not so awesome how hard it is find and install.

Can I use old iPhone 4S in Europe for WiFi, w/o cellular service? A few Qs not found in Support Community-

I wish to upgrade to iPhone 6, but first want to know if I can use my iPhone 4S for camera, iMessaging and apps (i.e. What’s App) on Wifi after it is disconnected from U.S. Verizon network?
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1.2 (reluctant to upgrade to 8.1.2), Verizon, U.S. only
Mac Mini, OSX 10.9.5 (reluctant to upgrade to OSX Yosemite)
I’ve read all of the old posts (2011 thru July 2014), but still have questions. This is what I understand:
Upgrade iOS and apps with iTunes, before transferring to new iPhone 6
Change the name of my old iPhone http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201997 (if I wish to name my new iPhone what my old one was called)
Enable airplane mode, then re-enable just wifi
Activate new iPhone
Transfer data to new iPhone http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2109
QUESTIONS:
Q: When connected to WiFi in England, Italy and Sicily - do I keep it in Airplane Mode even though it has been disconnected from Verizon and I will have an active iPhone 6 on my Verizon account being used by my husband at home in the U.S.?
Q: Will there be a problem sync’ing to iTunes in the future, or my Mac Mini? Will it conflict with my new iPhone 6? Or is it just considered a different device, once it has a new name.
Q: How can I message my husband in the U.S. with the iPhone 6 from Europe using my old iPhone 4S on Wifi only? Do I use my iCloud account, like I do from my Mac Mini to my iPhone? Or can I set up a new iMessage account on the old iPhone 4S
I appreciate any insights and answers. Thanks in advance!
Daphne

It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
To answer your questions,
1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.
Let me know if you need any more tips for iPhoning across the pond.

Got New AC Card, Can I Use old one for Bluetooth

OK, the title pretty much sums up my question. I got this ASUS wireless adapter
http://www.asus.com/us/Networking/PCEAC68/gallery/
and a new Nighthawk Netgear router. My question isn't about configuring them, but so far I've not seen BlueTooth mentioned. My computer, an HP Envy 700-216 apparently uses a wireless card, that is a 150 Mb/sec, that also handles the Bluetooth.
So my question is, can I keep the old card in, and somehow configure it to only do the Blue Tooth function in the computer, while allowing my new AC card, to function as the wireless adapter, in "AC" mode? And if so, how do you think I'd accomplish this?
Or should I just remove the other one? Is there a way to deactivate just the wireless portion, without disabling the Bluetooth?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
You might run into an IRQ sharing problem with two network cards. I would suggest removing the wireless card and get the AC card working. If you need to pair Bluetooth devices with your PC then consider trying an USB Bluetooth adapter.

Can I use old version adobe acrobat 7.0 Professional for my macbook pro. I just bought this software and is non returnable.

I just bought this software from RAFT teacher resources and it's non returnable. I don't know that it doesn't support macbook pro. Is there anyway can you help me if you can. I don't want to waste it. Thanks. Best regards, Vivian.

There is absolutely nothing you can do with this software if your Mac OS version is newer than 10.6; Macs less than about 5 years old cannot run older versions of Mac OS . It is no more use to you than a brick. It is an extraordinary thing to sell. Acrobat is now at version 11. Version 7 is more than 10 years old. I had a look but I don't see this on the RAFT store.

Trying to manage my music on iPhone but can't use old comp all my stuff on how do i do this

trying to delete some music from phone and store the old comp i use to do it on is broken how do i set up a new comp

Honestly the best bet at this point since we can't respond to whats on the screen is to plug it in over night and hope its connected to wi-fi so it can attempt to make an iCloud back-up. It won't have as much information backed up as an iTunes back-up but its still better than nothing. As to how to check the icloud back-up you will need to locate another iOS device and log into iCloud on the device and go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Back-up>Manage Back Up and it will display a time that it last backed-up.

Can I use old Home Hub (White one) on Infinity ? M...

I upgraded to Infinity a few months ago.
The black v2.0 hub has developed a hardware fault......power light on, but can't connect to the DSL Modem.
I have tried all the resets (power......hard reset button, etc), and reported the fault.
A replacement is on order, but will take a few days to arrive.
I still have the old white Hub and was wondering if I could use that while I wait for the replacement v2.0 to arrive.
As users of BT Vision, it is a right pain having to wait for the new unit.
Any (relevent) advice appreciated..........

white hub will not work with infinity

Can I use old landline number

Maybe some can help me.
I live with my parents in Waterford, Ireland. The local area code is 051, and I have a choice of new numbers that can receive calls. Is it possible to use our old landline number, as people may need to contact us. We are anxious to get rid of our landline, as the line rental has become too expensive.

Hi, Ege4That, and welcome to the Community,
Unfortunately, not. Skype does not "port in" other carriers' numbers.
