How do I de authorize my computer(may not be the right term read below)

I have to give my laptop to my x wife... how do I get it to where she can set up her own accounts ect. nothing secret on here to delete just need to get Itunes ect to where she would have to create her own account. don't want to do a clean install because I cannot find my OS disk. any help would be appreciated.

Re iTunes: Open iTunes on the computer you want to deauthorize. Choose "Deauthorize computer" from the Store menu and follow the instructions. Then trash the iTunes folder from Users > your account name > Music, and empty the Trash.
You owe your ex-wife the installer discs that came with the machine and belong with it, so try again to find them. An Erase & Install of the original software is by far the best preparation for handing off the Powerbook to anyone else.

Shared windows printer - may not be the right section

Hi all - sorry if I do not have the right section to post this in but I have come to the end of my calm period for trying to get this to work.
I have a canon iP4200 that is connected to a windows XP box and is setup to be shared. Now I have been asked to get the mac to print directly to the printer through windows with not much luck. At the moment the setup is through a hub with file, printer etc sharing enabled. I have followed some topics on the support site to try and get it to work but with no luck.
So i guess I have to ask:
1. Is it even possible to make this work
2. if it can be done any help would be extremely appreciated as I am pulling my hair out!
Also my windows firewall is off and I have been able to brouse my windows network from mac and vice versa.
Thank you so much in advance.

I recently had this issue myself. What you need to do is toss in your Windows XP Install disc on the XP Box, and go to Add / Remove Programs, then Add Windows Components, and from there do other network services, and do unix print services. After that's installed, you'll be able to print to it just fine.

If you have reached the limit of 5, then deauthorize all and authorize the active computers:

how do i de authorize a computer?

Run ADE (Digital Editions) and choose menu~Library~Authorize Computer.
Sometimes it gets into a confused state and gets half authorised.
In that case, run ADE, enter ctrl-shift-D (cmd-shift-D on Mac) to remove any old authorization, restart ADE, and authorize as above.

There is no de-authorize process for Lightroom. Just download the latest version and use your License key to authorize on the new computer.

Adobe digital - how can I re-authorize my computer so that I can download to my reader?

How can I re-authorize my computer to alow me to transfer my EPUB books to my reader? I tryed several times and in so many words it says I cannot do it with my email and pass word. Bob

Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.

I have a new time capsule (replace my old time capsule). I want to erase my old one. My computer does not see the old one anymore, how do I connect it (the old TC is not connected to modem)

I have a new time capsule (replace my old time capsule). I want to erase my old one. My computer does not see the old one anymore, how do I connect it (the old TC is not connected to modem). I want to erase it and then use it as either a second hard drive (sired/sirelesly?) or as a hard drive/bridge. So,
1. why doesn't my cmputer see the old TC
2 once i have solved that, how do I erase the old one
3. Can I use the old one as a supplemental hard drive
     a. wired?
     b. wirelessly?
4. Can I use the old one as a range extender?
I know .. a lot of questions but I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

1. Because it is either the same IP as the new one or hidden by being plugged in as a second router.
To access it, isolate one computer from the existing network and plug it directly by ethernet to a lan port of the TC. Use the erase function in the TC to remove all the content of the hard disk.
Then go to the internet tab, connection sharing and select off bridged. You can then reconnect the TC to the network.. and the computer as well. The TC will act as bridged device.. getting IP from the main router and should then appear correctly in Airport utility.
2. I covered in 1. But you just go in airport utility manual setup. disk, and you will see the erase function. You can also set it to bridge and leave the erase until you put it back in the network.. but be careful you erase the right one.
3. You can use the old TC via wired or wireless.. although I would always stick to wired connection if possible. Speed on wireless is 10x worse than wired.
Also note the reliability goes down dramatically after 2 years.. a series 1 3 years old or more is ebay fodder unless you want to repair it. Do not trust vital data to it.. when it dies you will have issues recovering it.
4. Yes, all apple routers will function as wireless extenders. when you do that the ethernet ports turn off so it becomes a purely wireless device.. strange apple decision on what you want to use your TC for.

How do I resolve the issue Cannot open the file ".indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file for

How do I resolve the issue Cannot open the file ".indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing , or the file may be open in another application?

Shouldn't the CC version be able to open any file created in an older version on InDesign?
Yes, it ought to.
If the older file wasn't yours (if someone emailed it to you,or burned it on a disc, or whatever), then I am almost willing to bet you a beverage in the city of your choice that it's not a complete InDesign file. That is, maybe it was zipped and renamed, or the beginning or end of the file was chopped off during download, or something like that. The only reason I'm not actually making the bet is that there is a remote chance that I'd lose, and maybe you're in Adelaide or Khabarovsk or somewhere where the cost of airfare to me would make that bet a very expensive bet for me to to lose. So no latte for you if I'm wrong!
The script that Jongware posted will tell you what version of InDesign made the file to begin with. Additionally, if someone did something like rename YourFile.PDF to YourFIle.INDD, it'll report that it's Not An InDesign File. Because while SpectrumPCS is kinda right and that message can be generated when attempting to open a CS5 file in CS3 or whatever, it also spits out the same message when you just try to open an Autocad file, or a Windows system file, or a PDF, or any file that InDesign actually cannot open at all.

I've had my iphone 5s since march 2014 and I've been using the same charger it came with. for the last two weeks ive been getting a message saying the accessory may not support the device. how is that possible?

How come I keep getting a message saying that the accessory may not support the device? I've been using the same charger that came in the box with the phone. Now it doesn't charge at all.

Then take the cable, the plug and your iPhone to an Apple Store genius bar it is still under the 12 month warranty

HT1420 I can't see where the "Authorize My Computer" option is in the store menu.

Greetings everyone,
So, I have a little problem. I need to authorize my computer to download all my purchases songs from the Icould. However, an article I read on Itunes.com said that all I have to do is go to the Store menu and choose "Authorize My Computer" and then I can easily and seamlessly authorize my computer to download my songs. However, I do not see an "Authorize My Computer" tab anywhere in the Store Menu area for Itunes!!! ha! Am I not looking in the right place, or did Itunes just make it more complicated than that?
Thanks for the help,
KYle
