    Perpetual versions you can and it possible to to activate them offline.  Offline Activation
    The Creative Cloud versions can be installed offline but you need an Internet connection to activate the installed applications,  I also believe Adobe has recently made the Creative cloud desktop application an mandatory install.  It need not be running at all times however it will be installed.

  • I have installed LR 6 for windows (win7) and LR will not start but hangs up

    I have installed LR 6 for windows (win7) and LR will not start but hangs up. I have uninstalled the software and re-installed it, Tried to open it as Administrator and it still hangs up with the Adobe banner (the picture) being displayed. Nothing happens.

    hbereth,,
    It is Ideal to install Creative Cloud app , if you are using Adobe apps.
    Creative Cloud is nothing but an updated version of Adobe Application manager. Adobe Application Manager is required for different purposes like Activation, Update.process and installation processes.etc
    Adobe application manager must be up to date , that brings to Creative Cloud application which is the updated version .
    No need to Sign in and all , just keep it install, if you are not okay with installing Creative Cloud app. it's okay , you can still have Adobe Application Manager only.

  • How to create windows users and groups from Java

    Hi,
    Can any one please tell me, which Package/API will helps to create windows users and groups from Java.
    Thanks,
    M.Prem.

    You can't do it with pure Java, and it's not in the core API. You'd have to write a native function to do it, using whatever API Windows provides, and then call it with JNI. Or look for a third party native-based Java library that already does that.

  • Installing XE Client en Windows 7 and using OLEDB

    Hello,
    I'm trying to use XECLient with OLEDB on Win 7 but when installing XE client on Windows 7, the "Oracle Provider for OLE DB" doesn't appear in the Providers List (ex : in a udl file).
    I've tried to do this "regsvr32 OraOLEDB10.dll" and this is ok (dll registered successfully). But still no Oracle Provider !
    I need help please !
    Thanks.

    Hi there !
    I have the same problem On Windows 7 Professional 32bits (on several PC).
    After installing XEClient as an Administrator.
    I can't connect to my server with OLEDB (MS Access 2010).
    I have error message "provider not found" or sometimes it will just crash without going to VBA error handler !
    If I "regsvr32 OraOLEDB10.dll" sometimes it works an sometimes it does not.
    But anyway it won't help for the connexion.
    Sometimes launching sqlplus will crashes also ! But will work if I launch it as a Administrator.
    There is a workaround : installing OracleXE (the database) on the same machine will resolve the problem..
    Then we can just stop the unused Oracle services with MSConfig.
    When I install OracleXE.exe I see that my user get the ORA_DBA groupe...
    If someone can help finding a better solution...
    Thx all !

  • User cannot access redirected Documents folder, but can connect to share in Windows Explorer and access folder on server

    I am in the final stages of a cross-forest migration.  Users have Windows 7 workstations with redirected folders on a Windows Server 2012 box running in the old forest.  User accounts were not migrated.  The accounts in use have always
    been in the "new" forest.  One of our challenges was the large volume of data in redirected folders.  I made sure users in the target forest had continued to have access to their redirected folders in the old forest and robocopied
    the entire users share, copying the permissions with the files.  By doing incremental robocopies, we can get a final copy done now in about six hours.  The plan was simple: copy the files, do an incremental copy every night, on the night of the cutover
    change the folder redirection policy Documents path from
    \\oldserver\users\%USERNAME% to
    \\newserver\users\%USERNAME%. The policy is configured to NOT copy user files from the existing folder to the new redirected folder.  Everything was going well until I tested the policy change.  After the folder redirection policy is updated
    and applied, the user cannot access the private Documents folder.  For example, user Chester Tester logs on as ctester.  I open Windows Explorer and click the Documents shortcut.  I see one subfolder, which is subfolder of Public Documents. 
    So I can look at Public Documents but when I click on the Documents folder (Under the Documents library link) I get an access denied error.  Now for the kicker, if I open another Windows Explorer window and edit the address bar to
    \\newserver\users\ctester, I can navigate the Documents folder tree and see my thousands of documents. What the ....?
    I'm hoping this is something really simple to fix!
    TIA

    HI Vivian,
    Thank you for your reply.  Yes, the path in Group Policy Folder Redirection Root Path was updated to
    \\NEWSERVER\users.  I had planned to point this to the distributed file system, so the first used was actually
    \\domain\dfs\users.  To simplify things I have backed off to copying to just a normal share
    \\newserver\users. 
    We are using BASIC folder redirection and we create a folder for each user under the root path. 
    We did not want the policy to move content, as we were seeing users requiring 15-20 minute logon times  (or higher) after the policy is changed.
    Grant the User exclusive right to Documents - Disabled
    Move the contents of Documents to the new location - Disabled
    Related folder settings
    Video - Follow Documents
    Music - Follow Documents
    Pictures - Follow Documents
    Now when I change the folder redirection from old server to new server I now have TWO My Documents folders in the user's redirection folder on the server.  The redirected Documents points to an empty folder set.  The copied folders with all user
    data are there, but folder redirection refuses to recognize the original folder.
    I am looking at the full view of the folder, nothing hidden, so I'm wondering how a folder can have two subfolders with the exact same name.  For now, I just want the redirection to move from the old server to the new server properly.  I deleted
    the new My Documents folder, rebooted the user's workstation and tried again.  The behavior repeats itself, i.e., a new My Documents folder is always created when the redirection policy is changed from the old server to the new server.  The environment
    has about 1500 users with approximately 1.3TB of data in the redirected Documents folders.  OUCH!

  • Installing 11i apps on windows xp and Red Hat linux AS 3.0

    Hi,
    I am a newbie to Oracle E-business suite............i will be very helpful if anybody could help me with the full procedure on how to install Oracle apps on windows on Windows XP and Red Hat linux AS 3.0.........starting with configuring ip.....i would really appreciate if somebody helps me out...........well thanks in advance..waiting for a optmistic reply...
    Thanks again,
    Virendra

    I have done installation on XP and 2000 servers are heres the steps... detailed ones. I also request those who install Oracle Apps 11i to first read the installtion pdf's which helps you understand clearly the prerequisites overall.
    You cannot find the Pre installtion steps(such as Mks Toolkit and GNUMake config) in more clear terms from those documents.Which are explained here.
    The Must PDF's to refer before installation
    1)r1152ins.pdf
    2)11iconcepts.pdf
    According to the 11iconcepts PDF you can decide your business needs the N-Tier Architecture and Database Server and Application Tier Server File System in a very clear terms.
    The installation process can be divided into
    Pre Installtion,Installation and Post-Installation stages.
    I would caution everyone to concentrate more on Pre Installation stage and which is more critical for a successfull installtion of Oracle Apps and to be free with later cropping up problems.
    Further before moving into Installtion stages i have to Explain the Number of CD's and Installtion type's in Oracle App's.
    In many places you may need to wait patiently even more than 10 minutes for screens(Dialog Boxes) to appear dont conclude prematurely some problem on system.
    In oracle Apps 11.5.1 it consist of 12 CD's.
    1) Start Here CD(RAPID Installation Wizard)
    2)1-11 CD's
    1-3 Application Top information
    4th Oracle DB
    5-6 IAS and other tools
    7-11 Oracle Apps DB.
    You have to decide whether you are going to do a Single Node Installation(No Post-Installation Task) or Multi Node Installation. Refer(r1152ins.pdf)
    While installing for Multi Node you can see the Installation locations to be mentioned as
    Appl_Top,Common_Top,Data_Top etc.Try to install Appl_top and common_Top in one drive and Data_Top in another Drive(Single Node) and in different nodes in Multi Node installation.
    Installation Types
    Production ==>Real time Env implementation's
    Test ==>For test Env Purposes
    Vision Demo==>R&D or learning Purposes.
    Pre-Installation steps

    Space Requirement for types of installtions
    Install VC++
    How to Download and install MKS tool Kit
    How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE
    Env path setting
    Create Applmgr user in Win2000
    Space Requirement for types installtion:
    Memory Requirement
    1 GB of RAM(512 Fine for initial Installtion)
    but planned for more user connections another 1 GB of Ram and according to the number of user's and Application needs you have to Increase the Memory.
    HDD capacity
    APP_Top(A)
    COMMON_TOP(C)
    DATA_TOP(D)
    Test DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
    Prod DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
    Vision Demo DB: 22 + 35 GB (80 GB recommended).
    Plus space for ur staging area.
    This are the actuall space required for the Oracle Apps Alone plan for more space for future needs etc.
    Softwares on System
    Win2000 server with Patch1,Winzip and Acrobat Reader Latest version etc.
    Install VC++:
    Install a clean installtion of VC++ of Visual Studio Family 6.0
    It should be first installed before installing MKS or GNUMAKE
    NOTE: When Visual C++ is installed, let the installer register all environment variables. This will allow executables to be linked from the command line.
    How to Download and install MKS tool Kit:
    Note:Try to purchase the MKS tool kit from the below site.
    or try to download the trial version valid for a months time.
    http://www.mkssoftware.com/products/tk/ds_tkio.asp
    Evaluation copy from
    http://www.mkssoftware.com/eval/
    Choose "MKS Toolkit for Interoperability " Download it in C:\
    Again you have to click the downloaded kit to start the actual download of 38 MB of MKS tollkit Evaluation version.
    You will be sent a Demo serial number to your mail id==>copy the same to a Notepad on your desktop.
    Now start the installtion of the MKSToolkit on your system by clicking on the MKStoolkit downloaded.
    It will prompt you for the Demo serial number which has to be provided.
    The MKStoolkit will be successfully installed.
    How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE:
    1) HOW TO GET AND INSTALL GNUMAKE ON WINDOWS2000
    This can be done by performing the following steps:
    NOTE: Please, be aware that you must install Visual C++ BEFORE installing GNUMAKE, because its installation process involves linking executables.
    1) Before downloading GNUMAKE, you will need to acquire some utilities which will be used for unpacking files. You can obtain the required utilities at the following
    URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/utilities/i386/
    The directory contains the following files:
    README
    djtarnt.exe
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
    gzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
    tar-1.11.2-i386.exe
    tar-1.11.2a.exe
    Only two of the files are required:
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe and tar-1.11.2a.exe
    2) After downloading the above files, rename them as follows:
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe => gunzip.exe
    tar-1.11.2a.exe => tar.exe
    Place them into a directory that you can set in you PATH environment variable.
    3) Point your browser to the following
    URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make
    The files needed from this directory are:
    make-3.77.tar.gz
    make-3.78.1.tar.gz
    make-3.79.1.tar.gz
    make-3.79.tar.gz
    Development requires to install version 3.77 or above. Downloading the latest version is perhaps best decision, but there are advantages to downloading the version required by development (3.77). (This document assumes that version 3.77 has been downloaded) (NOTE: AVOID USING SPACES IN
    DIRECTORY AND FILE NAMES. GNUMAKE,VISUAL C++, ETC. DO NOT ALWAYS DEAL WELL WITH SPACES)
    4) For instance, suppose you have downloaded file make-3.77.tar.gz on a directory called C:\GNUMAKE, unpack this file using gunzip.exe from a Command Prompt Window
    Example: C:\GNUMAKE>gunzip make-3.77.tar.gz This last action, will expand file make-3.77.tar.gz and the extension .gz will be removed.
    5) On the same Command Prompt Window, you should UnTAR the file, with the following
    command: C:\GNUMAKE>tar -xvf make-3.77.tar This will create a new subdirectory called MAKE-3.77 under C:\GNUMAKE, the original directory.
    6) In the new subdirectory, there is a batch file
    called build_w32.bat; run the batch file to generate GNUMAKE.EXE
    Try this from Command Prompt more than once if succesfully not built message appers till you get Generated successfully.
    Note:If Possible run all the bat files in the MAKE-3.77 and also config.bat in the sub directory by double clicking it.
    WARNING: There is a known issue with this last step, "GNU make fails to build regardless of chosing build_w32 or nmake"
    See [NOTE:115937.1]
    for work around. RELATED DOCUMENTS ----------------- For Microsoft Visual C++, MKS Toolkit and
    GNUMAKE support, you should contact their respective vendors Microsoft Visual C++, MKS Toolkit

    Installation:
    =============
    What here you require is the Patience .
    Load the START HERE CD and run the C:\> cd \cdrom\rapidwiz
    For Test and Prod it will ask for the location of Appl_Top,Common_Top and Data_Top location. Mention there path and ensure if more than one installtion say eg.Vision and Test or Prod to check the Path in all the tab pages its corresponding values and path's.
    In Vision Demo many of the Options are not propmted from the user.
    It will then do the system checking for Host Name and other details.All the checking should have been passed or if failed it will mark it in RED cross mark.Rectify the mistake and then onceagain proceed or else you will have problem after installation.
    The Installation time takes around 5 to 6 Hrs of time.
    For info on Post installation or on Multi Node follow the pdf's i have mentioned above.
    The most tedious of all is succesfully crossing the Apps system checking it does for all
    installed products it requires without any failure.
    The GNUMAKE configuration or steps were nowhere given and it was all our trail and error exp.
    This is possibly the most elaborate steps to install Apps on Win. post for further help. email me at [email protected] or [email protected]

  • Have firefox 5 install on both my Windows PC and Android(beta5). But I can't find on either device where to enter the three sets of number to sync them. All I can do is get a set of number.

    Installed Firefox 5 on Windows PC. Installed beta5 of Android device. I am trying to sync the two, but all I can do on either device and get the three sets of character to enter on the other device. I can't seem to find the option in either one the enter the number.

    The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
    Now-  "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

  • Setting up windows mail and accessing webmail

    two issues which I suspect are linked:
    In trying to setup windows mail, and trying to send test emails I get:
     Account: 'mail.btinternet.com', Server: 'mail.btinternet.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR [AUTH] Error logging in. Please visit http://mail.yahoo.com', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92

    and tried two variants on my username: firstname.surnameXXXX
    and [email protected]
    when I try to send/receive in Windows Mail - a windows security box appears asking to username/password
    on entering the username/password the dialog box just reappears, and no progress is made. On cancelling the dialog the above error appears.
    When trying the webmail login, and on entering my username ([email protected])
    and the supplied password, yahoo login gives this error:
    This ID is not yet taken. Are you trying to register for a new account?
    This is a new account with BT broadband, with the account starting on 1 April, and broadband going live on 13 Apr.
    Having setup Mail for other cable/broadband suppliers this is the most trouble I've ever had.
    Had double checked that I'm not mistaking 0 and O in the username/password, and have even copy/pasted them from my original order confirmation, so confident I haven't typod either of these details.

    that's the page but actually log in on that page to your mail and not use windows mail just to make sure it is working before checking to see if you have an error setting up windowds mail.  sometimes it can be 3/4 days after your broadband account goes live
    I use windows live mail to pick up and send my btinternet mail without a problem

  • Dual boot Windows 7 and Arch from 2 seperate drives (UEFI)

    Hello everyone, I've been working on installing Arch to a secondary hard drive for the past few hours, but I am trying to make sure I won't mess up my Windows 7 install.  I have found several topics talking about dual booting Windows 7 and Arch, but not a whole lot on booting them from separate drives.  My drives are currently setup as follows.
    sda (120GB SSD for Windows 7)
        sda1 (100MB System Reserved NTFS partition)
        sda2 (Windows 7 install)
    sdb (1TB HDD for Windows programs, files, etc)
        sdb1 (1TB NTFS partition)
    sdc (1TB HDD)
        sdc1 (boot 512MB FAT32)
        sdc2 (root 500MB ext4)
        sdc3 (home 300GB ext4)
        sdc4 (swap 10GB)
        rest unallocated "free space"
    I used Gparted to create the partitions.  I ended up getting hung up on the "Create Filesystems" sections, specifically this line"
    # mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sdXY
    Now that I am looking at it, I'm thinking the "Create Filesystems" section maybe isn't necessary because I've used Gparted?
    If it isn't necessary, when I get to the "mount the EFI System Partition to /boot" section, would I simply use
    # mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/boot
    instead of
    # mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/boot ?
    The way I had this setup with Ubuntu was 3 partitions on sdc (/, home, swap) and I set my PC to boot to the sdc drive on startup.  The boot loader would then give me the option to boot into Ubuntu or Windows 7, and I never had to alter the sda or sdb drives at all.  Is this possible through Arch?  My thinking is that even if it isn't, I should still be able to enter the BIOS boot menu and select which drive to boot manually correct?  That wouldn't be too big of a deal for me because I spend 90% of my time in Linux, and only use Windows for Photoshop and gaming occasionally.
    Thanks for taking the time to read this.  I would have just tested this out, but I am afraid of messing up my Windows install.

    After several sleepless hours I had to give up and go to bed about 5 hours ago.  The installation process went smoothly (or so I thought).  I followed the tutorial closely and upon rebooting I was met with a blinking cursor.  After some googling I found others who said I should press TAB, but nothing seemed to work.
    I rebooted to the iso disk and found the "boot installed OS" option and noticed it said "Press TAB to edit".  I then found the boot parameters and tried everything from hd0 0 to hd4 4.  I believe I have Grub setup correctly because every option besides hd0 0 either says "Booting..." and then gets stuck, or says "That disk and partition combination does not exist".  So yea, I think hd0 0 is the correct boot path, it just gets stuck with the blinking cursor.

    You have the right idea. You want to install a bootloader on sdc1 which will be able to boot both Arch and Windows.
    Your best bet would be to use something like rEFInd. It has a "scanfor" option that should automatically detect your BIOS-configured Windows installation and add a boot option for it. Note that depending on your motherboard, you may have to switch to UEFI-only mode and Windows will be unbootable without the assistance of a UEFI program which is backwards compatible with BIOS (like rEFInd).
    Thank you for the link.  Considering I can't get into my install and the actual install only took about 30 minutes,  I think I am going to just start from the beginning again with REFIndr.  It seems much simpler.  I only used Grub because I've used it before with Ubuntu, but my very limited knowledge is telling me Grub is probably the problem.

    This is exactly what I was talking about doing when I mentioned:
    My thinking is that even if it isn't, I should still be able to enter the BIOS boot menu and select which drive to boot manually correct?
    That's good to know, because even if this next install doesn't work I think if I pull the other drives I should be able to get it working fairly easily.
    Thanks again everyone.

  • Store music on a network drive and access from different computers

    hi!
    i have several mac's and windows pc's here and a windows server. i want to store my music on the server and let all itunes' access the same library to have ratings etc. all the same on all machines.
    when i set the itunes folder to my network drive and open itunes it does not find any of my music.
    my next idea was to run itunes on the server and to use the music sharing function but my macs can't access the windows itunes library because of some error -3259. my windows itunes can access the windows itunes without problems, the imacs itunes can't
    anyhow its a bad solution when i have to sync my ipods with the server since this one is in the basement
    does anybody know something about itunes libraries on a network drive ?
    thanks a lot
    philip

    Hi !
    Did nobody has developed a kind of sync tool yet ? Its interesting to know that the library is always stored locally. I think it should be possible then to copy the library from one computer to all others only the network name must be the same on all computers.
    I'll try it

  • Removing a WINDOWS partition, and using the OS on a different computer..

    Hello All,
    I am debacled at the thought of this question. I use a partition of my hard drive to run Windows 7; to run older games and the sort. I purchased an actual retail copy/disk from best buy and did all the necessary work to intall it on my Mac. My question is, first, can you utilize the same copy on a different PC, while still being on my partitioned hard drive of my Mac? Second, if not, could I remove the partition form my Mac and simply install it on a brand new PC, built from scratch?

    Not for long. in 30 days and you'll have problems.

    Yes you can.
    When Windows is installed it takes the hardware configuration into the copy protection and sends that to Microsoft with the license key you enter.
    So when you install your license of Windows on the new machine, it's going to require jumping through Microsoft's hoops to activate, then a few days for validation before you can download all the security updates required.
    In the meanwhile any time your new machine is connected to the Internet, even for a short period, it could be pwned good by malware as they are roaming around looking for unsecured boxes awaiting activation for instance.
    Perhaps it would be best to install Windows offline, then find their way of activating it without going online, then download a combo update from them on your Mac, then apply it to the PC offline, that way when it connects the first time it's not immediately pwned.
    Make sure the anti-malware is installed before you go online as well.
    If you install fresh and updates online, it's going to take days and days to get all the updates current, anytime you could get pwned too.
