Changing UI language in InDesign CC WITHOUT LOSING SETTINGS

Currently changing UI language in InDesign requeres UNINSTALLING InDesign CC and downloading and installing againg, in effect causing InDesign CC LOSE USER SETTINGS like workspaces.
Last year John Nack was glad to see Multi-Language License arriving with CC. Too bad the "freedom and flexibility" doesn't seem to mean easy of use as well.
I've followed these articles:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-trial-mode.html
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2012/05/creative-cloud-subscriptions-cross-language-cross-pla tform.html
Then spent 20 min with Adobe Chat support. Then spoke with phone support to learn uninstalling, downloading and reinstalling is the only way to go BUT she said all settings would stay intact. Well, they didn't.
Hope Adobe focuses on this, ease of use for changing UI language in InDesign CC.

I apologies for your frustration, anssikumpula!
It's not necessary to uninstall the version of InDesign CC on your computer to switch UI language. You just need to change the language preference and install the version with the appropriate language UI.
Here's a video that explains the process: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/cs6-creative-cloud-feature-tour-for-design/installing-multiple-l anguages-of-a-desktop-application/
As for keeping all user settings consistent, this is where Syncing with Creative Cloud feature will come into play later this year. Meanwhile, you can export the preferences .xml file from your user library and import to the version with different language UI. Please refer here for instructions: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4640179
Hope this helps and please mark the answer as correct if it does. Thanks!

No they will always remain under the old Apple ID.
You can't switch purchases between Apple accounts.

Can I uninstall beta without losing settings?

Can I uninstall 4.0 Beta 12 and reinstall 3.6 without losing my settings (bookmarks, add-ons, etc.)?

When you uninstall Firefox make sure that you '''do not''' select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data", this will then leave you Firefox user data intact (bookmarks, passwords, preferences, cookies etc). This data will then be used when you install another version of Firefox.

How do I change my Apple ID for iCloud without losing my data?

I really seem to have made a mess of my transition to iCloud :-( I have had an Apple ID for many years - it's my @gmail.com email address. I also have an @mac.com email address and, because I was a subscriber to MobileMe I have an @me.com email address, too.
I only recently upgraded my MacBook to OS X 10.7.4 after buying an iPad and deciding that I would like to be able to sync information between my MacBook, iPhone (3GS) and iPad.
I believe my problems started when I bought the iPad about a month ago on a trip to New York. I didn't have my MacBook with me to check which Apple ID I should use. I set up my iPad with my @gmail.com address as my Apple ID. When I returned home I discovered that my iCloud ID on my MacBook is my @mac.com email address.
I thought I could simply change the Apple ID on my iPad but I've not found any way that I can do that.
The problems I'm experiencing relate mainly to Calendars - I now have multiple entries for events on all my devices. I also have multiple entries for people in my Address Book and Contacts.
What I would like to do is -
1) retain my @gmail.com address as my Apple ID for the iTunes Store and purchases - this is the one I've always used and I have lots of purchases associated with it.
2) change my Apple ID for iCloud from my @gmail.com address to my @mac.com address so that I can also sync my Mail and, hopefully, eliminate the occurrence of multiple calender entries
If I were to delete my current @gmail.com address Apple ID on my iPad will I lose the data associated with this ID?
Cheers

Thank you for responding to my question so promptly! My Apple ID for my iCloud account on my MacBook is the correct (i.e. my @mac.com) email address. Do I need to sign out and then sign back in after I have changed/updated my details on my iPad?
When I look at the 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' details on my iPad under the heading 'Accounts' it first shows my @me.com account and the items under that account are 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Find My iPad' - when I expand the account details it shows that my iCloud Account is actually my @mac.com email adddress.
The second entry is iCloud which is currently my @gmail.com account. Under this account are 'Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Reminders, PhotoStream, Documents & Data, Backup.
The third account is headed Gmail and is, indeed, my @gmail.com account, too. Under this account it shows 'Mail, Calendars, Notes'.
Am I correct in suspecting that the reason for my having multiple occurrences of both events in Calendars and people in Contacts is because more than one account is syncing Contacts and Calendars?
Thank you for your help
Cheers

Changing iPod from Windows to Mac without losing music?

I have a mini that was always used on my PC with Windows. My computer was stolen while I was out of town, and I took it as a sign to finally upgrade to a Mac. I still have my iPod, and I want to use it on my new iMac, but the iPod was formatted to work with Windows.
I know I can restore my iPod, but is there anyway that I can keep from losing all the music I already have on there? How exactly do those transfer programs work, and would they work in my situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

technically your ipod should still be usable with the mac. You can put the ipod into whats called manual mode. This way the ipod will retain the music and you can use the ipod with your mac. You just wouldn't be able to use the auto sync feature. go to this site http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61148 that will tell you how to select that option. As far as getting music that is not purchased from itunes from the ipod to the computer i am not an expert at that so i really dont have any suggestions other than i know it can be done. If you could find a good transfer program im sure it would be simple enough to move the music onto the mac then restore the ipod and load the songs back up.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.

About changing iTunes/Apple ID Accounts country without losing old app,songs,movies and TV shows bought from iTunes store.

this question is for Apple Inc,
i will like to know if i can change my account country? Can i still access my purchased items such music,apps,movies,or software from iTunes store?

You cannot carry the money from one country account to another. But content you have downloaded to your device remains on the device, updating things like apps will require that you return to the country store where the download originated.
The stores operate as separate entities, but content you have does not leave or get deleted.

Fresh install of Leopard, without losing settings and applications

Hi, my computer has gradually been getting slower and slower, and it was suggested to me that it could just be from all the program updates I've had to install over the years, and that an effective solution to get it back to better speed is to do a fresh install.
I'm not computer illiterate, but I do not want to stuff it up and lose everything. What is the best way to do a fresh install with the least hassle about setting it all back up again with files, settings and applications? I back up (sporadically, not as often as I should) with Time Machine on an external hd.
Easy to follow steps would be appreciated please!

It was suggested to you by whom? Software updates alone do not take up a ton of space (as they overwrite previous versions), and so should not be causing your problems. An archive and install, assuming you then apply all the software updates anyway, won't take up any less space or necessarily go any faster, given you'll restore all the apps, files, and settings you have now on a slow iBook.
How much free hard drive space do you have? Leopard really wants 10-15%, which for you (assuming your profile information is accurate) means bout 20G. If you have less than that free, that's likely the cause of your slow down.

How do I completely delete firefox from my computer and then reload it without losing settings, background, toolbars, etc.?

I need to completely remove Firefox from my computer and then reload it because the current one on my computer is compromised... I don't want to lose my settings, background, and toolbars if at all possible... my computer has been having a lot of problems for a long time, finally got a hacker and viruses removed but programs and apps are still having problems and all have suggested a compromised browser along with the browser itself having issues with "stop script", "not responding", freezing, crashing, and blue screen...

You can transfer files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

HT204053 I changed my apple id and changed it in all of my settings except for iCloud. The iCloud app will only let me change the password to an account that no longer exists. How do I change the id without losing all of my information stored on the cloud

How do I change my apple Id for iCloud without losing my information I already stored? I tried going into settings then ICloud but it would not let me change my apple id only my password.

If you renamed your iCloud ID and need to change it on your device, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
