Is there a way that I can deactivate my Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Reader Professional, etc.) without being connected to the internet?
My laptop is having major internet connectivity issues (as in I cannot get online AT all) and the techies are likely going to need to completely reinstall Windows to fix it, so I really need to deactivate my Adobe Creative Suite so I can reinstall later. As I currently have no way to deactivate my software using the normal method (i.e. deactivate via the Help Menu which requires being online), does anyone know another method I can use? I cannot find a phone number to call Adobe with and their online chat forum is currently undergoing "maintenance".
It's actually not a problem. When you reinstall and sign in to the Application Manager, one of your previous active installation will be cancelled. If that turns out to be the wrong one, simply it sign back in again. That will give you the two active installations you are allowed.

Can you use a time capsule to wirelessly back up computers without being connected to the internet?
I have a 2TB time capsule that was connected to a DSL internet connection and was used to back up my Apple laptop and my iMac. I switched to a cable internet provider to get faster speed. I was unable to get the time capsule to connect to the new cable wi-fi network. Since I dont really need the time capsule to provide an internet connection, can I ust set it up as a local network just to back up my computers wirelessly?
Thanks for any help.When I plugeed the time capsule into the new routerI purchased, the time capsule worked perfectly. I am stilll puzzled as to why the time time capsule didn't work when I plugged it directly into the modem. In summary it works perfectly when plugged into the netgear router which I connected to the cable modem, but I couldn't plug it directly in to the cable modem and have it be my primary router.

I'm wondering if I can use Apple TV to play movies and slide shows on my TV, play music over my sound system and print from my devices (Iphone 4S, iPad and MacBook pro 2011) by using an Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule (to back up the devices) if those devices are not connected to the internet. Can anyone advise pls? Reason for this is that I work on a moving ship and don't have an internet connection to speak of for much of the time (and if I do it's a wireless system that I need to pay by the minute and that is too slow to support the Apple TV), but would all the same like to create a wireless environment where my devices can interact with each other. I seem to get conficting info and a rep at the apple store in Honolulu told me that you cannot use Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule without an internet connection (it was busy, he may have misunderstood my question).
Looking forward to your input.Don't try to home share it.. as that is dependent on using Apple ID.
Just airplay to the ATV.. iTunes: Using AirPlay
The movie should play exactly as your doing music.. but get rid of the whole home share if that is causing issues.. there is no mention of needing home share in the above..
If you still have issues you might need to do it other ways.. like export the movie from itunes.. and play it using vlc which should allow you to stream it to the apple TV using airplay.
That is a bit tricky and I have not used that setup but it should work.

If you have a hunt around you should find it fairly easy to do.. but straight airplay should work.. there is a very recent update to ATV which might help it with airplay. -

Help please. Anyone has a way of tracking my ipod touch 5 even offline. had all my 3000 pics from this vacation here in the US. I had some apps....anyone please. The Find my ipod is notable to lock or locate because is offline....HELP PLEASE I will take any advice... It was stolen in a McDonalds that had wireless but was not connected...
I'm an plug and play, aka, intuative Apple OS "cooler", or a guy that has been most likely to "tilt" even the most bug free Apple software and maybe even hardware, and unqualified to give advice, except for the fact that I had my iPad and then my iPhone boosted a year ago. May I ask, did you ever log in to your app; "Find my iPhone" and go through the registration process? If you did, you would have had to have registered it into "mobileme" or the ancestor of mm, the name escapes me, or you would have had to "iCloud it", the implications of which, I'm just barely scratching the surface (<--ADHD) but that's the kind of thing I would have, and did do, even though I didn't have a clue, what it was for, or understand how to incorperate it into my resources at the time, I'm just a "register here" factory, that registers first and askes questions later. If you did this, I suspect you may have a reason to hope a a GPS kite string that millions of theft targets like us are longing to see, return your device, for Christ Sakes! i do know that, if you did you, can access the signal blip, location from any smart device, with internet access and your log in/password, that you will need to remember, track down, or if all else fails, ask Support to assist, by in my case jogging my memory, until it came to my low watt brain, the log in id, I had used.
Boy what a lot of blather, hope it was helpful, somehow, my point was that Cloud is the modern MobileMe, and it's prediscessor. Mozl Tov! -
TS3354 can i watch purchased movies/tv on my netbook without being connected to the internet ?
Is it possible to watch purchased TV/Films whilst not connected to internet .?
Why can't you use both your USB ports at the same time? If the dongle is a bit fat, a bit of jiggling might work, it doesn't necessarily have to be all the way in. Hold it still though. I don't know of any way to update the software without an internet connection, sorry.

Unfortunately no as the only ways is to split up your existing mailing list and upload as a new list in this case.

Can I purchase Adobe Creative Suite 7 via CD?
Can I purchase Adobe Creative Suite 7 via CD and not by Creative Cloud? I purchased Cloud and after multiple attempts to download, I wasn't able to. Adobe Technicians couldn't figure out why. I'm leary of using Cloud anyway as I feel it not totally safe because of possible security breaches.
Thanks!There is no such thing as an "offline CC", so there are no disks nor can you activate the software without being connected to the Internet. Using the application manager/ Creative Cloud app is mandatory. The rest is beside the point. You have not provided any system information or othr details, so how should people be able to help you with your technical problems?

Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all?? Looks like I can set it for one but not others. All, one, or nothing
Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated. -
Is there a way that iTunes can act as a Radio Alarm Clock?
I have found the radio station I enjoy listening to in the iTunes Radio List. Is there anyway iTunes (and my Mac) can be set to come-on from Sleep mode and start playing that Radio Station at specific times of the day?
Any App or plug-in that does that?
Many thanks
KevinTurning your Mac into a clock radio.
1. In iTunes create a playlist that contains just the radio station you want to wake up to.
2. Export the playlist (as .m3u works well). Get Info on your playlist file and look at the Open With entry to make sure it points to iTunes, VLC or some other app that will stream your station.
3. In iCal create an event entry at the time you want to wake up.
4. Right (or Control) click on your wakeup event and select Get Info.
5. For "alarm" select Open File.
6. Now under Open File there will be a place to add the file to open. It will probably be some default entry (like iCal). Click on it will allow you to select "other." Then use the file dialog to select your playlist file.
Your Mac will wake you up at the appointed time. You don't need to keep iCal running. If you want to put you Mac to sleep for the night then there is one more thing you need to do. Open System Preferences to Energy Saver and click on the Schedule button. Check Start up or wake and set the wake up time to slightly before your iCal alarm time.

My laptop recently crashed and is unsalvageable with my itunes library on it. My ipod still has all of my music still on it.
Is there a way that I can put the songs on my ipod onto itunes on my new computer without loosing them or having to buy them all over again?Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Is there any way that I can have songs in an iTunes Playlist without having the songs play in my regular music list. For instance: can I have a Playlist of Christmas songs without having them play in the routine shuffle of my music library? Thanks -Rog
Select the songs, press CTRL+I to Get Info, on the Options tab set Skip when shuffling to Yes.
If you want to the hide the songs from your main music view you could consider changing the media kind to audiobooks or podcasts if you don't mind the side effect of them showing up there instead.

My family has two computers, two iPads, and an iPhone. My wife has different tastes in music than I do and purchases wayyyyy too much music that I consider "noise". Additionally, she has well over 400 playlists. I don't want to have to see all the playlists on my computer but occasionally she will create one for me on her computer. I thought the iCloud was going to be the answer to our problems.
But now, every playlist on her computer shows up on mine, and every song on her computer shows up on mine. Is there a way I can delete some of the songs from my computer (and some of the playlists) without it removing the songs/playlists from the cloud?
Thanks in advance for any answers.Sir Churchill, I tried deleting one of the playlists from my computer (Playlist 130). The next day I checked my wife's computer and noticed that Playlist 130 was now missing from her computer as well. Is there a way that I can delete a playlist from my computer without it disappearing from hers as well?
