I needed to install a previously purchased CS6 versus on new computer. To do this, I had to download a version from CC. I will not be using CC. How do I activate Photoshop under my license so that it does not stop working when I am out of communication range a month from now?
The CC version will not activate with your perpetual CS6 license. Download the version from here:

Your number should work with this version. -
I need to install software on a computer without a dvd drive. Where can I find the download for the student edition?
Perhaps you can copy it using a different computer, from the disk to a USB key.
However, external DVD drives are cheap and in my view essential. -
I just need help. Please, this is ridiculous!! I have spent over 30 minutes just tying to get help. I want my MacBook Pro checked out and possibly get more memory..... please don't make this so hard....... help me!!! Do I make an appt at a store.... what do I do. I am getting really frustrated at how hard it is to get service for this product!!!!! Is anybody home at Apple once you purchase your laptop or do we just play this game online forever??
It's only us other users here, and the moderators. So be gentle.

I just purchased a MacBookPro after having a MacBook. I have ILife, IWorks and Office for Mac. How do I get those programs on to my MacBook Pro? I will still use my MacBook at work so I need those programs to remain on it as well.
You need a Firewire cable to run between the two Macs. Using Utility>Migration Assistant running on your new MacBook Pro, transfer what you want (with all the preferences and such) from your MacBook to your MBP. Here's more info from Apple.
You might have an issue with the Serial number for Office, but hopefully you have that around.
Hope this helps. -
I'm overseas and need to sync my iphone with itunes but I don't have my computer. How can I sync it to my friends computer without losing my music and data?
Why do you need to sync your iPhone with iTunes - for what purpose?
You can transfer iTunes content and photos from one computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first with a warning message provided beforehand indicating this will occur. -
The mail app on my Mac laptop will not open. This began happening after an upgrade during which "Security UPdate 2012-004" was installed. My mail app has a new icon, and I think i trashed the old program (trying to follow directions). Suggest a fix?

This may be a basic question... but in InDesign, how does one determine the pixel size of a text box? Specifically, we need to write text to specifications of 600 pixel width, and have no idea a) how to scale a text box to specific pixel width, b) how to determine what word count we can fit in, and c) how to do it in a table? Thanks!
Set your ruler increments to pixels Preferences>Units & Increments. You can fill the text box with placeholder text Type>Fill with Placeholder text and get a word count from the Info panel with Show Options turned on from the flyout.
From the Transform panel you can set a text box's width and height -
The need to compress to max 1GB is obsolete. You can not determine what and how the space provided on iDisk can be used. You provide it or NOT. If you DO, then let US free, if you don't, then TELL us WHY, so we can choose to go public elsewhere. The strengthood for Apple for the fourthfullness to be legal, which I respect, can become too restrictive in my European eyes. Any hearing around? René
As was noted in the introductory material for the Apple Support Communities website (presented when you registered), these forums are set up for user-to-user assistance and discussion, not for user-to-Apple communications.
Suggest you resubmit your position statement to Apple via product feedback for iCloud, which you can access via a link on this page -
Apple - Feedback
...we've all moved to iCloud, isn't it?
Um, no, we all haven't. -

Actually it sometimes gets a little further, the display will dim and the pointer will appear and then whoop it will turn off. if i do a verbose start up, it will finish all the steps, the white screen will appear and dim and then it will turn off.

Just installing a few updates from the Mac App Store for mountain lion on my 2010 MacBook Pro, during this it made a noise and then the screen and keyboard went off, like it is off. What happened, is it off...or should I just wait it out?
What kind of noise?
The only things I can think of that make noise are fans and disks. Fans usually will not cause the computer to shutdown as you describe. My guess is your disk drive died. I hope you made a backup prior to start the ungrade.

I am still very new to apple products so excuse my stupidly, basically I need to install windows on my iMac as I use a software programme that needs this. How do I install windows on my mac and is there a version of windows I need or is anyone compatible. I'm looking at buying windows 7 for my mac from plc world!! Just looking for some info on how installing windows as well as iOS works and wether they work well together.. All feed back will be much appreciated.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
with OS X.
3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
applications without having to install Windows. The
Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive. -
Do I need to install Norton 360 multi device on my new iPad Air?
I just got a new iPad Air 64GB wifi + cellular and the retailer is strongly suggesting I install Norton 360 Multi Device on it and on my MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.5. I was under the impression that Macs were seldom affected by viruses. However, they are suggesting that it will be easier to retrieve my iPad if it becomes stolen or lost. I'm not sure how that would work, or if I need it at all.
Please advise,
Thanks.Norton 360 does nothing more with regards to a lost or stolen device then the free find my iPad service from Apple already does (as Diavonex mentions). Norton, just like find my iPad is an internet remote tracking service, so it has the same functionality as well as the same limitations of find my iPad or any remote tracking service - namely that the device must be powered on, with a live internet connection, for the remote tracking to work.
Norton 360 offers no additional security for a lost or stolen device, and its "threat" protection is pointless on a non-j'broken iOS device (and it WILL degrade the user experience on a tablet, since it is running all the time).
All that buying it will accomplish is to make you a bit poorer, and the retailer a bit richer. -
Need to install 2 instances of Thunderbird on 1 machine so have email for 2 people
My wife uses her laptop for business. Her battery died and she is needing to access her email from my machine until her new battery arrives. I've seen the threads about separate profiles but don't like that option. We want two completely separate instances, separate profiles, separate everything. She needs to be able to get to any emails from her machine (once it's back up and running) that were received and sent from her instance of Thunderbird my machine.
hello, you could create a different user account in the operating system...

How the heck do I install java for yosemite?
I've tried following the links, but everytime I hit the download button nothing happens. Not. A. Darned. Thing. And I keep getting the message that I need to install Java for things to run properly.

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

I have MS Office 2008 for Mac and it works just fine. Is there an update for the 2008 to the 2011, or do you have to purchase 2011 outright for another $139.00? If this is the case, is there any real purpose in spending this amount of money to upgrad
