Is there a way to open Illustrator, without being prompted and seemingly forced to purchase monthly cloud membership?

I purchased the full version of CS6 and now suddenly get prompted to sign up for creative cloud membership. I am not able to open Illustrator without choosing (and paying for presumably) a cloud membership. I only want access to the program which I purchased and own outright. Is there someway of bypassing the signup to cloud membership? I'm able to open PS CS6 currently without difficulty but not Illustrator. It seems unfair to pay high $ for a product about a year ago and suddenly not be able to even open the program without shelling out a monthly fee. Thanks for any help.

safehandle,
The issue has been up here before.
From what I (fail to) remember, I am unsure whether it is possible to avoid its occurrence.
If no one here is able to offer a definite answer, I will alert one of our forum staff friends who will hopefully be able to alert the right one to deal with it.

Is there a way of opening up old PSD documents and photos on the iMac please?

Is there a way of opening up old PSD documents and photos on the iMac please?

.psd (photoshop) files should open in preview to view them and make some simple adjustments.
If you want to edit them but don't want the expense of buying Photoshop (or Elements) for your Mac, consider downloading Gimp - it's free.

Is there any way to open .mts files in Qicktime and FCPX?

Is there any way to open .mts files on the Mac? I am reffering ti opening them in Quicktime and in FCPX. My camera costs a LOT, and I think it's ridiculous that I can't open these files. I can't even find a decent conversion tool to do it for me. Please help!

I just checked this link and it's looks like FCPX have no problem to open it.
http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/mts
.mts is also called AVCHD.
I also check FCPX Documentation here : http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.0.6/#ver2833f855
And it say it can support AVCHD videos.
VLC also support it for watching the video and anyway Quicktime X is useless with many codecs.
Check again to import files in FCPX as i can't test i don't have any .mts files.
Hope this help.
You can read this also if you want to convert them : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1412182?start=15&tstart=0
I will say it's better to use Handbrake, anyway it's what i use.

Purchasing a genuine, but used CS3 but the serial number isn't with it. Is there a way to check its not being used and what the serial number is?

I have the opportunity to buy CS3, but there is no serial number with it. Is there a way to find the serial number or get one for the software?

LOL well thank you for that detailed answer to my question.
Guess I'll give it a miss then

I cannot open Firefox without being prompted to drag the Firefox icon into My Applications. It also does not let me eject the drive while Firefox is open. If anyone could help, it would be appreciated.

I use a Mac. OS X.
I click on the Firefox icon to go online.
It opens up the drive that I originally used to install the update(3.6.15). I have to select open because it is an unknown application.
Firefox opens to the homepage.
I try to eject the drive.
It says "The disk 'Firefox' cannot be ejected because 'Firefox' is using it. Quit the application and try to eject the disk again."
I do that.
The same thing happens again and again.
I try to download the update again.
Same thing.
I won't download the Firefox 4 RC because it makes my online browsing very slow.

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.

Is there a way to open SSRS 2005 tree view in a table in a Details row upward?

Hi.
I building some reports with SSRS, and showing data in a table. The table has one Details row that forms at the end multiple rows with the tree view (+ and -).
Is there a way to open the tree view upwards and not downwards so that the children of level 2, 3 etc come over the parent row?
I've goggled it everywhere, but I don't seem to find the answer. If anyone could help me out, I would appreciated.
Thanks
Novi

Hi again.
And by the way, this is a parent child hierarchy. I have made a group details row with a "ParentUniqeName" on Parent Group text box and "UniqueName" on the Group On expression box by using Edit Group menu.
In addition, there is a drill down functionality on the table.
Now, it seems that the order of the items is correct, I just want it to have the opposite order.
Thanks again...

The other two browsers I reinstalled without any problems. But Firefox is my primary browser and I'm afraid of losing all my information.

Is there a way to open up a directory for static files.

Is there a way to open a specific directory or set of directories up for browsing with WLS 8.1.5 (such as having static .txt,.html files,etc..) without having to deploy some sort of java app to do this.
Basically we need a quick and dirty way to access files sitting on a specific directory on our Web Server machine. Example is there a way to open up just the directory /home/user/files/video for access?
Thanks,
Cash Chitwood

Well in order to host something I can't see you doing it without having to have a web application? So if you do not have a web application you will probably need to do that and deploy the war I guess even if its an empty war. In which case you can set that parameter I posted about earlier to access your folder?

Is there a way to open a new tab/window by clicking the Safari dock icon?

Is there a way to open a new tab or window by clicking the Safari dock icon? Right now, the default behavior seems to be that Safari simply un-minimizes or displays the last window in focus.
I want to be able to quickly fire up a new tab or window in Safari when it is out of focus, such as when Finder is in focus. The workaround right now is to right-click on the Safari dock icon, and select "New Window", or to allow the last window in focus to appear, and cmd+t or cmd+n. But this is too many steps over the course of a day for a highly frequented task like this.

I'm glad that helped. Thanks for posting back.
... when I save this as an application as "run only", it's relatively quick to run, but there's a delay to load... I assume it's opening Script Editor every time?
As long as the script is saved as an application -- Run Only or not -- it should definitely not cause the Script Editor to open. You can verify this by closing the Script Editor application altogether prior to clicking on the docked script icon that you saved. You should notice that the Script Editor does not open when the script is run.
FWIW, I went back and saved a version of the script as a Run Only app, and I didn't notice any difference between it and the original, which was saved without the Run Only option checked. The delay that you're noticing might be accounted for by the fact that the script, because it was saved as an application, will be activated just as any other standalone application would be. This happens prior to Safari being activated. Watch your menu bar when clicking on the docked script icon and you should see the name of the saved script app appear for a split second before Safari gets activated.
The only time I can think of that you might wish to save the script as a Run Only application would be if you wanted to conceal the script for some reason. If, for example you were publishing the script as a part of an application release and didn't want its contents known, or you didn't want an end user to be able to edit the script, you might select the Save As > Run Only option. To illustrate this, try dragging and dropping a script saved as a Run Only application onto the Script Editor's icon. You should see a warning dialog to this effect:
*Unable to read the file because the script is not editable (it was saved as run-only).*
Whereas if you drag a script that was not saved as a Run Only app onto the Script Editor's icon, the script should open in the Editor, and it can be edited.
I played around with the "stay open" option for saving the script as an application, but it appears I have to close the app and reopen it before I can get it to work a second time.
The Stay Open option is appropriate for scripts which use an "On Idle" handler, which really wouldn't apply in this case. Check out more on Idle Handlers here and here.
Is there a faster way to use this multiple times throughout the day?
One way you might speed up the action would be to save the script +as a script+ by choosing Save As > File Format: script from the Script Editor's File menu. The resulting script can then be activated by assigning a hot key to it using one of several 3rd-party keyboard shortcut programs available on the Internet. (I used Spark, assigned a function key to the script I posted earlier, and found the action to run significantly faster.)
Good luck.

Is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

While working in Firefox is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

I guess I'm not explaining myself fully. I have a home page designation in firefox preferences that starts firefox up with 5 sites. that pretty fills up my screen with tabs.
At some point I want to initiate another WINDOW in firefox (NOT a tab). I would like to be able to open up a window that ONLY has ONE tab, or as if there were only one site designated as the home page. This gives me a workspace that has my most useful sites available in tabs in one window, and also another WINDOW that I can move around in and even create more tabs without messing up my primary set of TABS (in my primary window). I see how this might not be doable without doing what I do now, which is open up a new window, and then close tabs until the new window just has one tab for me to work from.

Is there a way to import tracks without using the mouse in Logic Pro?

From the user manual:
You can import existing audio recordings by simply dragging them from the Media area, shown at the right of the Arrange window.
My question is: is there a way to do this without dragging it with a mouse? I'd like to use a shortcut to open a browse folder and select a file. The reason for this is that I am nearly blind and I can't use my mouse for dragging because I can't see it.
Thanks in advance.

Can't see the mouse pointer.. even if you increase it's size using the Accessibilites features in OS X's System preferences...?

Is there a way to open pages documents on Windows?

My ibook G4 died recently out of warranty, and I'm now without a way to open all my documents, which I created and saved in the pages format.
Is there a way to open these documents on a Windows XP machine, as that is the only machine I currently have available?

There are certain data you can save copying a Pages document to Windows, but not much. If you copy a Pages document to a Windows machine, you will see that it is in fact a folder. In that folder you will find pictures you have included in the document. You will also find a file called index.xml.gz. You can expand that one on windows - probably with Winzip - and open the xml file in your favourite browser, and then you will see the text you added among quite a lot of garbled text. Formating will be gone.
To some of us Pages' Mac-centric format is very inconvenient, but many users are quite happy with it, as they rarerly need the documents on a Windows machine. And when it happens they see no problem first exporting it to .doc, .pdf or .rtf format.

I have a MacBook Air, and have purchased individually Numbers and Pages. I was sent an Excel file on a thumb drive but cannot open the file. The message states that the Excel file is encryeted. Is ther any way to open a PC file on my Mac Book Air?
Pat and Bob

Excel does not use the .xcl extension for any of its native file formats? The only files I've ever seen with xcl as the file extension were associated with embedded application code projects.
If this is in fact an Excel file, but an encrypted one, you cannot open it (in excel or any compatible application) without the decryption password.

That's a Microsoft program which requires Windows. You could run on your Mac if you install Windows on it.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8. 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.
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.
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.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new 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 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. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. 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.
