Is it possible to burn updates to a disc and then install them?

I only have dial up at home so making updates to my Safari and OSX is almost impossible. Is it possible to download them at work, burn them to a disc, and safely install them at home?

Yes of course. I always use the standalone updates. It is rare and very few that you actually need to use Apple control panel, and when you do, select download only.
And backup and repair, of course, before installing anything.

  • Can I burn trial download to disc and install on other machines

    We offer training a long ways from the nearest college. We soon will be offering a four-session introduction to InDesign with a local person who uses the software daily. We intend to use the 30-day trials for our students so they have a chance to become acquainted with the software before deciding whether to buy it. This is not marketed in any way as Adobe training. So, to save time for the students, I would like to download the trial software once, burn it to discs and have them install it on their computers on the day of the first class. That way, the trial will run through the four classes. Is it possible to do this? The software seems so linked to the Adobe download manager that I am wondering whether it is possible to do this, especially do this without starting the 30-day time limit on the trial software before Oct. 23 when the class begins.

    Yes you can do this.  When you begin the download process in the Adobe Download Assistant it will prompt you as to where to save your install files, by default they will go to your user folder.  You can simply burn the install files onto a DVD and then have them install from the DVD.
    I would recommend that you run through the install process on one of the students machines prior to class.  This will help ensure the User accounts they are using will have the proper rights to install the software.  You could then reimage the machine to reset the trial period.

    We don't know what Apple plans on doing to change this (and it may not be just Apple but more likely the publishers, since Apple would, of course, do whatever it could to maximize sales/profits).  Right now you can only read Apple books on mobile devices. Sure, buy them from Amazon if you want to read them on the computer. We don't work for Apple so we're pretty impartial on this kind of advice.
    You might also see what your library can offer.  My wife can browse the county library from her iPhone, borrow e-versions, and read books on it too.  Free!

  • HT1386 Because of limited internet on my iphone 5, i download updates to apps thru ITunes and then sync them to my iphone.  Lately, the apps download properly and the sync seems to go thru, but on my phone, they keep saying they are updating and it never

    Because I have limited internet package on my att iphone 5, I update apps on my computer thru ITunes and then sync them to my phone.  The downloads seems to go thru and then install.  But when I turn on my phone, the affected apps continue to say they are updating and it never goes away.  I do not have wifi but when I am connected, the apps don't update.  Help!!!!

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • I have a separate apple id and my daughter bought a song using my ID rather than hers.  Now I've got this song that I don't care for and have no use for.  Is there a way to get it to her ID short of burning it on to CD and then uploading it to her phone?

    I have a separate apple id and my daughter bought a song using my ID rather than hers. She was playing on my computer and bought it, thinking it would download to her phone through the cloud. Now I've got this song that I don't care for and have no use for.  Is there a way to get it to her ID short of burning it on to CD and then uploading it to her phone?

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

  • Is it possible to embedding a video in Keynote and then play as a PDF?

    Hi
    Is it possible to embedding a video in Keynote and then play as a PDF?  I want to do a PowerPoint/Keynote presentation that includes videos from YouTube.  My preference is use Keynote although I do have Office 2004.
    My issue is that the places where we present have their own equipment so we are encouraged to bring the presentation on a USB/portable HD, and they tend to be Windows environments.
    In my perfect (ignorant) world, I'd
    Create it in Keynote
    Add/embed videos from YouTube
    Save it as a multi platform file like a PDF
    I guess the key issue is:
    Is there a way to create a multi platform presentation with videos (I think Keynote and PPT require different video formats???) that can be carried on USB/portable HD?
    Thanks

    No, it's not possible without using hacks. And Adobe can't support or endorse hacks
    Bear in mind that not only there are new features in a new version which can't possibly be recreated by an older version - also, there are enhancements to existing features, which would make them render differently in the two versions.
    That said, there are people posting such hacks, as Sébastien pointed out.

  • Is it possible to save an iPhone back up and access the files later if needed?  I have a string of text sms and iMessages that I would like to save and then delete them from my phone.  Is this possible?

    I have a string of text sms and iMessages that I would like to save and then delete them from my phone, but gain access to them later if I need them.  I prefer to have the string with the date/time stamp vs copying and pasting into a doc or text file.  Is this possible?

    Not unless you buy an app that accesses data from an iTunes backup.  Check in the app store.

    We use a doc template to create a purchased part spec document and then save them as pdf formatted files.  These part spec documents are also appended with the datasheets for these purchased parts.  When we want to update/revise the document, is there a method, using Acrobat, to make those updates to the pdf, or must we go back to the doc template and basically generate a new document?
    Also, our resulting pdf documents aren't searchable.  How can we generate pdf documents that are searchable?  I may want to search for a part value or name within the body of these pdf documents, but currently can't do that...very inconvenient.
    Can you assist?

    Not totally sure about the search issue. A lot depends on how you created the PDF and what is in the datasheets you attached (like are they graphics?). The doc portion should be searchable as long as you used print to the Adobe PDF printer or PDF Maker. For your use, it may be that the print is adequate. However, the result should be searchable (unless maybe you had a form with filled in fields and created the PDF with PDF Maker. I think the form data may be retained in form fields and the fields are not searchable. In that case, a print might be a better procedure. (it would help to know the versions of WORD and Acrobat as well as the exact process you used to create the PDF.)
    If the appended data sheets do not change, then you might try opening the original PDF and then using Replace Pages to replace the file created from the DOC file.

    If you moved them to your iPad then they will have been removed from your Mac.  If they are no longer in the iPad's Videos app following the update then you will need to try contacting iTunes support and see if they will let you re-download them : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    Don't recall the exact wording. But it is the same in appearance as others.  Anyway, problem solved using RogerWilmut1 reply to someone else.  I opened Applications and got the icon back.  Thanks for responding.

  • Computer asked me to download an updated version of firefox and then I lost all my bookmarks

    I accepted an updated version of Firefox and then all my bookmarks disappeared. I tried to restore my computer to before the time I accepted the update and now firefox browser does not open.

    This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Is is possible to have the images as thumbnails and make it so you can click on them for a larger view and then click them again to have it go back to the original size? In an interactive pdf?

    I am designing an interactive catalog in a pdf. Is it possible to have the images as a thumbnail and then click them to enlarge the image and then click again to make them go back to the original size?
    Thank you in advance!
    Stephanie

    It can be done with Show/Hide buttons:
    Here's a button created from a small version of the image (notice that it's selected in the image below):
    The small button has a Show/Hide Buttons and Forms action. It's action is to make the Larger Image visible (eyeball turned on) with the small image hidden (eyeball turned off).
    The large image is also turned into a button (shown below):
    Notice the checkbox "Hidden Until Triggered". The large button is hidden until it's triggered by the small button. Clicking on the large image also causes a Show/Hide action which shows the Small button and hides the large button.

  • Is it possible to copy a DVD into iTunes and then upload it to my iPad? Is there any way of doing this?

    Is it possible to copy a DVD into iTunes and then upload it to my iPad? Is there any way of doing this?

    Sure, just use Handbrake to encode the DVD movie into a format that is playable on iTunes and on your iPad:

    Once the encoding is complete, move the movie file from your desktop into iTunes and then sync your iPad.  Presto, the movie is on your iPad!
