Getting help without AIR for CS5.5

So... the org I work for disables AIR at an enterprise level. As in, automated search bots scan your machine at night and delete AIR while you're not looking. Plus, we aren't allowed admin rights to reinstall such dangerous software...
At any rate, long story short is that NOW (too late) I realize that AIR is required to run the stupid Adobe Help app that Flash and all the other Suite apps rely on as I can no longer launch the Help app at all!
Is there any way for me to specify that all Adobe apps use external browser help and/or local help? IT dude is busy seeing if he can find a copy of AIR to install that matches the specs on the one from the CS5.5 suite he installed. Because, you know, naturally it's not allowed to just reinstall AIR without installing over something in the Suite again. But I am hoping there is a more elegant solution?
Thanks in advance...
(BTW, congratulations to the engineers on this one--another defeat ripped from the jaws of victory! In CS4, this used to be a simple setting in the Extensions area of Flash that allowed easy enabling of local help only...)

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the quick and helpful response!
I will definitely dispute the claim that you automatically get external and/or local help if AIR isn't available because I was launching Adobe Help and getting the "This application requires a version of AIR which cannot be found", but in Flash, hitting F1, selecting Help from the menu etc all just did nothing. Perhaps just the way that AIR was disabled, but FYI, it doesn't always seem to fail gracefully the way you guys are expecting it to.
At any rate, we've got most everything set up here finally, but there is one last item that is driving me nuts. In CS4, I could hit F1 on any keyword and it would automatically take me to the correct page after looking up the keyword for me in the local help. This doesn't appear to be the case in CS5.5. Instead I just get taken to the main page "Welcome to Help" page.
EDIT: Actually, it's a little different then I initially thought.
- Some keywords such as File.documentsDirectory just take me to the front "Welcome" page.
- Other keywords, like addEventListener, take me to incorrect pages. In this case the page for flash.data.SQLConnection. The phrase "addEventListener" isn't even on the page if I do control-F and search for it.
- And finally, a few of them actually take me to the right page, but with missing info. FileStream.readMultiByte takes me to the FileStream area, but with all the info in Event Detail, Method Detail etc blank. In those cases, I get a couple of error messages:
Message: Invalid character

Thanks in advance!

How do creative cloud apps get installed without asking for administrator?

The title says it all but I'll reiterate. How do CC apps downloaded with the Creative Cloud desktop app get installed without asking for administrator user/password? Its the sam on both Mac and Windows and I don't understand how its doing it. This seems like a security hole to me.

My computer broke and I got it fixed. It doesn't say that the hard-drive was replaced, but I can tell my data is gone, including Pages that I bought. Is there any way of getting that without paying for it again?

Or if you purchased Pages as part of iWork on a disk, reinstall from the same disk.
Best of luck.

HT5037 what happened to iphoto5? can't get on without paying for upgrade

I can't get on without paying for upgrade or access my photos..ugh!!

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is you library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

I am 13 but going into high school next year and possibly an elite boarding school that is 9 hours away from my town. I need to get a mac air for school purposes.How can convince my parents to let me get one?

My house has always had macs and my parents don't like pcs. I don't either. They are slow and so far behind from macs. So i am going into high schoo next year and parents don't let me on the computer without asking and have them all password protected. I did have my own ibook g4 but it broke randomly. My mom says i will isolate myself from too much scree time and get depressed but i love macs and i would like to work in an apple store someday but i'm not even allowed to buy my own ipod touch with my own money. But my mom has an new imac, ipad and iphone and ipod and all of this has been gifts to her. But i really need a computer for school. I have written lists of good reasons not like i want it but good ones and asked nicely but my mom just says because and thats the only reason i need to know. and by the way she is a teacher so she thinks technogly is evil. How can i get the mac air??

I really do not want to enter a family discussion about what you should or should not have. If the MBA is to support your school work then you need to present your arguments on that point. If there is a concern about using a Mac when the school supports PCs then point out a Mac can also use Windows on a BootCamp partition so it is fully compatible with both systems.

How to get help with refund for in app purchase

I downloaded the free app "Bakery Story" without realizing it was an app that allowed the user (in this case, my child) to run up a bill very quickly with in-app purchases (using my real money instead of the play money within the game). As soon as I received the statement from Apple about these unexpected purchases, I enabled the parental controls that block purchases from within apps like this. I am trying to use Apple website to find the rightbplace to request a refund on those purchases, but I only get so far with the express lane before I get a "server not responding" message. Any ideas for how to get help? (clicking the Report a Problem" link in the invoice email doesn't work either (and my WI fi Internet connection seems fine).

Getting ROWID without using "FOR UPDATE" in statement

Hi,
Is there any way to get the ROWID of the current record without using "FOR UPDATE" in the statement?
Here's the story...
I'm actually working on a server that receives multiple connections from client applications. The server interacts with OCI for selecting, updating, fetching and so on. The server is able to manage many opened recordset from clients.
Here's a possible scenario:
- A client asks the server to open a recordset ie: "SELECT * FROM foo".
- Then, the server receives a command to position the cursor on the last record ie: "OCIFetch2->LAST".
- Finally, the client decides to update the current (last) record.
Since the server can receive other requests such as opening a new recordset from another client, I can't use "SELECT * FROM foo FOR UPDATE" because it blocks further call to OCIStmtExecute (even in NONBLOCKING mode).
At the same time, I can't COMMIT the transaction after the "SELECT" statement otherwise the selection gets invalidated. The selection needs to remain valid until the client decides to "close the recordset".
Is there any workaround?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi again,
I found that OCIRowidToChar could save my life. In fact, by retrieving the ROWID equivalent string I could use it to build a statement like:
update foo set c1 = 1 where rowid = 'AAAHZuAABAAAMViAAL';
which will solve my problem since these strings don't change and represents a unique record.
The problem is when I try to compile this method it says:
test.cpp: In function `sword OpenRecordset(OCIServer*&, OCISvcCtx*&, OCIStmt*&,
COLDEF*)':
test.cpp:382: `OCIRowidToChar' undeclared (first use this function)
test.cpp:382: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each
function it appears in.)
make: *** [test] Error 1
It seems that this function is not declared under Solaris/Oracle 9i. I searched on the web and there is not much information about that. However, it is documented in the Oracle book.
Is there any way to use this function under Solaris? If not, how can I get the string that represents a ROWID?
I use the following syntax:
sword OCIRowidToChar ( OCIRowid *rowidDesc,
OraText *outbfp,
ub2 *outbflp
OCIError *errhp );

Where can I get help with Office for Mac

Hi everyone,
I use Microsoft Office for Windows at work, and often go to one of the groups at msnews.microsoft.com to ask questions and get help. I would like to be able to check from home to see if anyone has answered my questions, but I can't figure out how to access this from my Mac. Do I need special software for this? At work I use Outlook Express. What should I use from my Mac?
Thank you,
Rob

Many of those groups can also be accessed on the web with any web browser via http://groups.google.com/
There are several NNTP news readers like Newswatcher and MT Newswatcher on http://www.versiontracker.com/ and http://www.macupdate.com/ which tie into that newsgroup protocol if your internet service provider supports it.

Where can I get HELP in German for PSE 8 ?

I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elemnts 8 & Adobe Prem
iere Elements 8 and registered it. Now I can´t find Support in german?! The Website and Help ist just confusing me. Where can I get help about a question I have concerning the file-dates after updating from Adobe Photoshop Elements 5 to PSE 8: All my files now have a new Date!
Thanks for giving me a link to a german support-page for PSE 8!

> Sometimes the Organizer will silently lose the date/time of a file that you’ve set with Edit > Adjust Date And Time.
I just importet my files into the organizer
> This can happen when you invoke the full Editor, Edit > Update Thumbnail,
In the help-file in the German PSE8 it was recommended to update thumbnails! Perhaps this is the reason. But how can I be sure?
I have registered online Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8 but I don´t know how to get advice directly from Adobe in Germany or at least in german language. Does someone know where I could get help from an Adobe employee?
Thanks!

HT4061 I have lost my ITouch and I cant get the serial # to ask for help. I purchased it on line from Apple. Would they have a record of the number? If so, how do I get help without the number?

Oh no. I lost my ITouch. How can I get my serial #. Would Apple have it on record since I bought it on line from them about two years ago. I no longer have the box

See the bottom of this reply:
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Please clear instructions for getting camera raw working for CS5 (PC)

I've worked for 2+ hours with a support person online and read through camera raw instructions in this forum and have re-installed CS5, downloaded and installed the camera raw plug-in multiple times and just run out of options. I see in the this forum that there are discussions about getting the files in the right place, but I cannot even tell which file names to check on whether things are in the wrong places.
Is there someone who can just list what files should be where so that camera raw will appear as a format in Photoshop and Bridge? I am running Windows 7 64-bit. When I try to open a file in camera raw format in Photoshop that format does not appear, and when I try to open in Bridge that option is there but greyed out. I am entirely stuck and the support person gave up saying that if the downloaded plug-in would not fix the problem then he doesn't know what to check or do. I suspect the files may be in the wrong place, or maybe there are duplicates (one comment in the forum mentions this as a possible problem).
Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

Just to make sure we're in sync... Have you tried the following?
Open Photoshop.
Choose File - Open As - then select Camera Raw from the list of formats.
Also, Photoshop should just open Camera Raw automatically when you try to open a raw file (e.g., .NEF, .CR2), without doing anything special.
Can you specifically describe what actually happens when you try to open a raw file, and how you're going about doing so?

I have been trying to log in to my apple Id in order to make a purchase, but i created my security answers over six years ago and the answers I produced no longer apply. Due to this, I am unable to make a purchase although I have Itunes credit in my account. Is there any way of talking to Apple about the problem without calling?

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/using/publishing-air-android-applications.html

I think that this is just saying that the display is truncated. When you publish, it still uses the full path.
