If I have music in the cloud and use the match what difference is there in home sharing? do i need cloud, home sharing & the match?

Hello theizzard
Home Sharing does more than just music, it will let you have access to Movies, TV shows and apps to either be streamed or copied between computers. If you want to control your iTunes library from your iPhone and use the Remote app, Home Sharing is required for that.

I'm looking into how apps use the cloud. Would you consider any app with social media access as uploading information to the cloud? e.g. being able to tweet through an app is the same as uploading data to the cloud

Most of us in this forum are users who volunteer on technical issues, and not Adobe employees although they do drop in from time to time. As users we simply have no control over activation and that's why you are not getting responses.
If you havn't done so,you might try the Muse forums and see if you can get a staff member to look into it. Have your case numbers and phone transcripts handy.
Last option is to keep calling customer service until you get someone who will help or ask for a supervisor.
Hope this get resolved,

I have transferred itunes and library using home sharing. How do I 'turn off' the old computer and just use the new one? home sharing requires both to be on at the moment.

I have transferred my itunes content and playlists to a new computer using home sharing. Now I want to use my new computer only, so need to 'turn off' the old one. What do i do?

Hello shiv99,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have used Home Sharing to play the music from one computer on another, but now you would like to only use the new computer. It sounds as though you have set up the content to share between computers, but have not actually I’m ported the media from the old computer to the new one. I would suggest following the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article to import you music from the old computer to the new one. After that process is complete, you can turn off Home Sharing if you would like and the content will be in the iTunes library on your new computer.

Since I upgraded to Adobe Created Cloud, my photo editing processes are taking more than 10 times longer than they used to. Why would this be?

You will likely get better program help in a program forum
The Cloud forum is not about using individual programs
The Cloud forum is about the Cloud as a delivery & install process
If you will start at the Forums Index https://forums.adobe.com/welcome

Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud.

That is true - I apologize for not being specific - what I was mainly referring to is iLife applications. I have a notice on the App Store that says 3 apps need updates, I look at the apps and they are huge so since my connection is so slow I use my work connection and d'load the files from support to my Windows machine and carry them home, once d'loaded my MacAir states it cannot install, the update must come from the App Store.
I do the same thing for large Leopard and Lion files and I can install them without error, it is just the App Store files that the system stops.

Why Has Adobe Removed The Option For Individuals To Purchase Software And Not Use The Cloud?

As an individual who has been using Adobe products for about 25 years for my personal use and not as a business, I find the new policy of "renting" the software and using "The Cloud" for, at least in my case, a prohibitive monthly fee, to be totally unacceptable and will result in my no longer being able to afford using Adobe products. I do not understand why Adobe cannot offer their new cloud program for individuals and companies that may wish to use the new system and have the resources to pay in perpertuity, but they should also have the option for those of us who would rather purchase upgrades for whatever programs we use and keep them on our computer without "The Cloud" service.
I am 67 years old and living on a fixed income. I basically use four adobe programs... Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, and Audition as I do volunteer work at a local non-profit radio and tv organization. If I were to "rent" those individually it would cost $80 per month... so I could take the next deal and get access to all software for $50 per month... I cannot afford either of those. If I could upgrade one or more of the programs every two or three years... keeping them on my computer and not using "The Cloud," then continuing to use the products would be doable. However, being forced into a program that requires a monthly fee and use of "The Cloud" which I do not need to use, seems totally unfair. I certainly understand that there are businesses and individuals who will love the new program, but why not have the option? Or perhaps a "Senior" discount as you do for educators and students?
Something to think about. It seems Adobe may be moving to the "Cable Television" model of monthly fees that will go no where but up.

Hey there, you may have heard that Adobe is continuing to sell and support CS6 for customers who prefer traditional licensing. It's last year's version instead of the latest-and-greatest CC release, but it's something to consider if that's important to you.
As far as a "senior discount" on Adobe software, there has never been one – but one thing to consider is becoming a student or teacher because there is no age restriction on that, in which case you may become eligible for education discounts.
Hope this helps.

Why would I want to use the mail icon on my dock?

Hi all,
As I'm endeavoring to further my knowledge on the Mac, I'm curious as to know if I'm losing out on not using the mail icon on my dock.
Any particular reason I should use it? I currently use yahoo and gmail. I think they're considered IMAP technology and I can access it anywhere any anyhow as long as I have access to the web. I also use my iphone to access it.
So... why would I want to use the mail icon on my dock? Are the reasons going to be for the characteristics for POP? I.E, can off load mail to my Mac and read later without having live access to web?
BTW, if I did want to setup mail on the dock. What is the incoming and outgoing mail server for yahoo? Sorry, could locate that info. in yahoo mail.
Thanks in advance.

I think you are asking why you should use the Mail application versus using "web mail" through a web browser, and not just about the Mail icon on the Dock, is that correct?
You should use whatever is more convenient.
Mail is a standalone application designed for email access, so it is more responsive and has more features. Web-based apps are getting much better, but you can still tell you are in a web browser. You can work off-line, even if you use an IMAP service (such as MobileMe). You can save emails locally, even if most emails are on the server, and if it's POP, all your messages are downloaded to a local database (that may or may not be an advantage to you).
Mail is integrated with Address Book and iCal (and other Apple apps). You can use Time Machine to recover individual deleted emails, just like you would recover deleted files or folders (using the +flying through space+ interface).

I would like to delete all Apps archived in the clouds of "purchased" and not in used now and in the future. How is possible to remove definitively these Apps?

All you can do is hide them from your purchased list. You cannot permaneently delete anything from your purchased history.
Also, these are not stored in your iCloud account storage space. The purchases reside in the online store and all you see is a list of those purchases made with your account, with a cloud-link to redownload them, but you are merely re-downloading them directly from the store.

This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?

My itunes on my iMac for the passed few weeks now keeps on comming with the message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
or "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPad. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
This while everything was working fine.
Please advise what I can do with this message.
When I press autorize, it comes up with a unknow appleID. When I use apple ID's that work - it comes with the message that the computer is autorized. but then the autorization message comes back.

You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

In mountain lion must you use the cloud?

I am reading different things about mountian lion and the cloud.
Do oyu have to use the cloud for things?
Can you opt out of using the cloud?

It's your choice to use iCloud or not. If you have more than one Apple device, why wouldn't you use the features that benefit you. You can choose the features you want turned on. You can keep you address book synced between devices, calendars, bookmarks, messages, or PhotoStream. You can use .me email either with or without iCloud, but it's a very simple setup using iCloud by simply turning it on.
What you want to use is your choice. Take advantage of the features that you can use.

Can somebody can tell me is CC for team can support to save the files in the local area without using the cloud ?

The desktop applications are still installed on your computer, and the files are also saved on your computer.
Optionally you can upload files with a browser to https://creative.adobe.com/files, or sync up files using the file sync that is part of the Creative Cloud desktop application. The online file storage is private to you, no one else can see it your files.
If you do want to share your files there are two options:
You can Collaborate, which is sharing a folder with another Adobe ID. Only the person you collaborate with can see the folder.
You can use Send Link to send a publicly accessible url to a file or folder.

I don't have a computer on which to convert a digital booklet in iTunes to a useable form for iBooks. Why won't it download using the cloud like all the other media I purchase on my ipad?

LP content can only be downloaded on a computer's iTunes (or 1st gen Apple TV), you can't download them on an iOS device - and I haven't seen anything that say it will change in iOS 8. If you don't have a computer then at the moment you won't be able to download/view LP content
About LP : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3823
After you buy an album with iTunes LP on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, the album's songs will download directly to the device. The iTunes LP will download to iTunes on your computer when you choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.

HT1539 why can't i use the cloud to send this to my iPhone?

digital copies of movies.... why do some send via cloud and others don't...

The options you refer to work differently than the normal transitions and effects.
Select any portion of a clip (not the whole clip) - either in the middle, end or beginning, or other portion - by clicking and dragging across the clip so that it is highlighted with a yellow border (this must be done in your Project, not the Event). Set the border so that it covers the duration of the effect you wish to apply.
Now from the Clip menu item select the appropriate fade. If your highlighted selection is not at the start or end of the clip, Movie will automatically split the clip at both ends of your selection and will apply the effect as well as a cross dissolve transition at each end. If you are applying the effect to just the start or end of the clip, iMovie will split it at the appropriate position and apply the effect and transition.
The effect is meant to provide a colour change (b&w, sepia or dream) within the clip, or at the beginning or end of the clip. It's not designed to provide a normal transition between 2 adjoining but different clips.

I have 2 apps that have been waiting to update for a week. I don't really care about the update, I would just like to use them, but the are stuck waiting. I have tried powering down, syncing with my computer...all fails. Any ideas?

At this point you have no choice but to update the or delete them and reinstall them since you wont be able to use them until they update - or come out of the "waiting" loop.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

3 family members have new iphones. we are using the cloud. how do we keep emails separate

3 family members have new iphones. we are using the cloud. how do we keep emails separate

Use separate iCloud accounts, with separate IDs. (Note: you can continue to share the same ID for the iTunes and App stores; it does not have to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.) One phone can keep the current account. On the other two, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from these phones, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) Next, set up a new iCloud account on these phones using separate Apple IDs and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new accounts.
If you have merged data in your accounts at this point, you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting the other phone's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
