Need to Disable Cloud Storage for our Enterprise

I am trying to centralize the purchasing of Adobe Creative Cloud at my company. We develop software and services for use in the financial and healthcare industries. Therefore, we limit our use of cloud storage and services. Is there a way we can disable the cloud storage in the new Creative Could Suite? Most of our users are stuck using CS6 until this issue can be resolved. We are looking at purchasing anywhere from 50-100+ licenses if we can get this issues figured out.
I have asked our Information Security team to block the Sync/Store.Share endpoints documented in the Adobe Creative Cloud Network Endpoints guide. This was done and then we monitored workstations where the Creative Cloud was installed. The documented endpoints never appeared in any of our proxy logs.
Help! We cannot upgrade until this issue gets resolved.

It's possible--ETLA customers can purchase Creative Cloud subscriptions that don't include storage.  However depending on the number of seats you're purchasing and what has already been purchased (and under what plans), only Adobe knows where you fall under the Creative Cloud licensing spectrum (single, teams, and enterprise).
You need to find your organization's Adobe representative and work through them.  If you don't know who that is, this FAQ for Adobe Buying programs may get you started.

  • Online/cloud storage for use with Aperture?

    Can anyone tell me if there is an option for online/cloud storage for Aperture photo libraries?  I take a lot of photographs which progressively fill ip my hard drive. I'm interested in getting a  Air (especially if the rumors of updated Sandy Bridge processors coming this June pan out), but can't really do that and keep all the photographs on my notebook.   I realize I could use an external drive, but I would sort of like to have access to all the photographs without always to carry along the external drive.   I suspect such a thing exists, but I'm a novice when it comes to cloud storage...  Thanks

    Check out Mosaic. Mosaic provides online storage that is integrated with your Aperture Library. This way if you have your Aperture photos referenced to an external hard drive, you can still access all of your files from the road.
    This enables Argelius prefered workflow where you use an external hard drive for your local storage but you don't have to carry the external around with you everywhere you go.

  • Cloud storage for mac and pc files

    I am presently PC user that uses Carbonite for my cloud backup.  I am going to be switching to the new iMac soon.  I plan on using a Parallel or Fusion so I can continue using Photodex, Quickbooks for PC and Quicken for PC.  I understand that Carbonite can only backup either Apple or PC files, not both on the same account.  Are there any other cloud storage options that will back up both Apple and PC files?

    DropBox dos do it automatically, & outside of their 2 GB fre, I've seen far better deals, but with my slw Internet, I only use local backups, & didn't note those deals.

  • Two apple ID on one iphone. I need to purchase extra storage for one but it doesn't give me a place to do it.

    im really frustrated.  everything not just this happening to me right now.  I'll try to be as clear as I can be here.  I can't get email or send email with one of two apple I.D.'s connected to my iphone.  The other I.D. I paid for extra storage.  The I.D. that needs more storage is my main email address and my lifeline.  Job offers come to that address, my banking and home security alerts, etc all happen through this one email account.  I can't even get that ID to show on my phone to choose it.
    How can I change things to show me both ID's so I can add storage to the correct one?

  • Do I need to buy more storage for backup?

    Should I do more? Here is what I have so far for my iMac OS 10.5.8:
    1. 2 GB internal hard drive storage
    2. 2 terabyte external hard drive (Seagate - being shipped by Anazon.com)
    3. Time Machine
    4. 1 terabyte Time Capsule, wireless automatic continuous backup
    Today at Best Buy I almost bought a 2 terabyte small ext. hard drive only/just for videos, pictures, and music. When I saw that it was a USB connection and not Firewire I decided not to buy it. But do I need to have that extra backup?
    I was told that the external hard drive would be better than CD or DVD storage because with those two, you can only add more items five times, no more, whereas with an external small ”passport“ hard drive, I would not be similarly restricted.
    I welcome all opinions

    do we speak of backup or archive, Lorna?
    Timemachine/TM is a clever system to get back the version before the version before the actual version of a project..
    TM will, when drive is 'full', start erasing oldest 'versions' ...
    but it doesn't do archiving.
    and here it get's philosophically..
    books from the 13th century are still existing and are readable (if you 'speak' Latin...)
    or movies from the 1920ies are 'readable' (= last week, the 'original' version of Metropolis had its premiere at the Berlin Film Festival) ..
    ANY document, starting from the mid20th cent will be lost soon.. read the phrase 'digital dark ages'.. all your .docs, music, fotos, videos are 'digital' .. on 'media'. stumbling into probs with long-time-storage and compatibility.. anyone remembering 5¼" Floppys? beta video cassettes? Sonys MD music-disks?
    a usb2-1.5TB drive is good for archiving, why not?
    every once-in-a-while (6 months?) you manually drag in Finder the content of your backup-drive onto your archive drive. or, in Finder, you copy the 'originals' from any iT/iP/iM-Lib onto your archive drive.. for sure, you can backup this archive... and every 5-8 years, don't forget to upgrade and switch from SCSII to firewire to usb3 to eSata to ... and convert from DOS to fat to hfs to ntfs to ...
    and speaking of 'backup + archiving' plus 'from Hawaii' - keep the archive.drive in a dry place ..

  • Download Creative Cloud Apps For our Macs from Admin PC?

    I am the systems admin for a company that has a new CC subscription. My workstation is a PC but I need to install CC on a Mac. When I go to download CC apps or the CC desktop, it wants to give me PC executables instead of letting me choose. I don't want to go get in the way of the graphics team just to download this software. Can I do this from my admin workstation or do I have to download it from the Mac?

    I'm not sure about this but it's possible that Creative Cloud is set to auto-detect the system OS that you are currently downloading onto.  There may be an override for this to allow you the option to choose which installers to download but I do not know how to set this option.  Have a look at your CC desktop app settings if there is any option available, otherwise call Adobe technical support for direct download links of products.

  • Best Cloud Storage for iPhoto backup?

    Hello, it seems ridiculous that Apples iCloud doesn't allow you to backup your entire iPhoto library... so I'm looking for some advice on the best alternative options. I currently have TM backup automatically, but I travel between the USA and Europe often and would love a safe and simple online backup system. Anyone have reccomendations? Carbonite? Dropbox?
    Thanks in advance!

    Online doesn’t really work for iPhoto because most solutions don't understand the iPhoto Library structures and also because of the massive amounts of data involved. We often see folks on here complaining of restores taking days to complete.
    But you do raise a very important issue and this is what I have done in this case:
    My Library lives on my iMac. It’s Backed up to  two external hard disks every day. These disks are permanently attached to the iMac. These back ups run automatically. One is done by Time Machine, one is a bootable back up done by SuperDuper
    It’s also backed up to a portable hard disk when ever new photos are added. This hard disk lives in my car. For security, this disk is password protected.
    I have a second off-site back up at a relative’s house across town. That’s updated every 3 or 4 months.
    My Photos are backed up online. There are many options: Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug etc. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you may need to pay.
    Every couple of months I test the back ups to make sure they are working correctly. It’s very easy to mis-configure a back up application, and the only way to protect against that is to do a trial restore.

  • Need help finding a driver for our NI A/D board

    My A/D board has the following numbers: 70243 and 84-01 and 3199F. Help me find the driver

    All of the NI drivers can be located on the NI Drivers and Updates page. In order to find the required driver, you will need to know what the device is called. You can find this information in several different ways. One way is to visually inspect the device. If it is an NI device then it should list the device name somewhere on the board. Also, you could locate the part number. This number usually ends in -01 or -02 and is printed near a bar code. If you can find this number, then simply type it into the search on ni.com to locate the name of the device.
    When the name of the device is figured out, you should then determine the appropriate driver for the device from the Drivers and Update page linked above.
    If it is not an NI device, then you will want to view the device manufacturer's webpage for available drivers.
    Please do not post back to this message as I do not believe the message pertains to the NI Measure software. The question is more related to a specific piece of hardware. Thus, you should repost this question, if another exists, to the appropriate NI Hardware category.
    Best of luck.

  • HT4743 Bought 2 series only to find there are now series bundles for the first 4, but it doesn't offer to complete my series I don't mind paying just don't want to waste cloud storage for  2 whole series

    In the past I have bought 2 series of entourage, I went to buy series 3 only to spot a bundle of series 1-4 this works out cheaper but there isn't a complete my series option.
    I don't really want to pay for the first 2 series again but also I don't want to waste storage space by duplicating 2 series
    Any clues on how to sort this out

    iTunes can only put up what the studios supply them. You can contact iTunes directly if you want an official answer.
    TV shows wouldn't count towards any icloud storage.

  • Need to disable Time Machine for real

    Hi,
    My Time Machine is turned off, but every time I log on I get the following message, "A storage location for Time Machine backups isn't set up."
    So I click on 'Set Up Time Machine', it shows that Time Machine is turned off. I thought if I chose a backup disk maybe then I could really get it to turn off so I clicked on that and I get a blank window with the option to "set up Time Capsule". We do not use wireless here so the only option is to cancel which leaves me back where I started.
    I know I must be missing something. I have scoured this discussion but the only solution I found to try was deleting the plist file. That didn't help.
    I also tried using Workgroup Manager to not allow this user to access Time Machine but that didn't work.
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

    Is the window completely blank, or is there a "None" location, with a red circle with a line through it? Select that line and the +Use for Back Up+ button will change to +Stop Backing Up.+ Click that and the prompts should stop.
    I do hope you have backups via some other app -- otherwise you risk losing all your data.

  • Spreads removed when Indesign files are posted to Cloud Storage for client review

    Although my document is set up with facing page spreads in indesign, when I post it to my cloud for the client to review only single pages are shown. This is going to confuse matters for my client. Any suggestions as to how to solve this problem?

    Send them a PDF showing spreads instead of using Creative Cloud previews. They are pretty lame. (They also currently don't show previews for InDesign CC 2014 files.)

  • Backup Solutions for our iMac

    We just narrowly escaped losing our hard drive due to maxing it out - 319GB or 320 used.  The reason?  I procrastinated creating a backup solution.  Now we need to move forward and am looking for suggestions as to the best route.  As background, our system currently consists of:
    (1) Macbook Air (2012)
    (1) iMac (mid 2007, Intel)
    (1) 2wiregateway wireless router (AT&T Broadband)
    Online back-up via Backblaze (am considering switching to Crashplan or Carbonite)
    We need a solution that will provide:
    automatic wireless back-ups of both machines though I could hardwire our desktop if need be - TC?
    external disk storage for our media (e.g., photos, music and video files) - WD, SG, IOM linked to TC, needs to be backed up using TM
    media server - access from Macbook Air, iPad (future), iPhone (future), any wireless device playing iTunes; e.g., Denon receiver (future need)
    I purchased and tried to set-up a Seagate GoFlex Home option but the wireless set-up via the 2wire has been difficult and I've had no luck with linking it as a drive for Time Machine. I plan to return based on feedback (regarding my set-up options).  Like everyone, we want to 'future proof', however, we're NOT large media purchasers so excessive storage is not an issue - mostly photo files.  We're mainly focused on ease, durability and costs.
    This is what i was thinking:
    automatic wireless back-ups of both machines - Time Machine/Time Capsule ($300+)
    external disk storage for our media - external harddrive (WD, SG, IOM) connected via Ethernet to TC or as it's a store server, hardwire this one (firewire) to the desktop.  This too will need to be backed up using Time Machine  ($150+)
    media server - ?  Again, secondary future need
    Thoughts?

    Thanks for all of the feedback. I've sat down and drawn out an updated solution (see below).  I think this will meet all of our needs but would love all and any feedback including on my drive selections/options.  Our modified 'need' list.
    external disk storage for our media (e.g., photos, music and video files) [External Hard Drive FW800 connection]
    automatic wireless data back-ups of both machines [Time Capsule]
    bootable local back-up of both machines [External Hard Drive with Super Duper linked to Time Capsule]
    media server - access from Macbook Air, iPad (future), iPhone (future) [iCloud]
    network printer connection [Time Capsule]
    off-site data back-ups of both machines [Back Blaze/Carbonite]
    Does this make sense?  Overkill?  Thoughts regarding Iomega drives?

  • HT201318 Have purchased i cloud storage and found i dont need it!  It says i have 90 days to get refund and contact apple store!  How do i do this!  Cant find contact!  Linda

    TOday i bought extra i cloud storage for i pad!  Found i didnt need it!  It says i have 90 days to cancel it and contact Apple!  Dont know where to contact right dept!  It cost me £14 for nothing!   Can anyone help?
    LInda

    90 Days??   I think it's more like 15 days.  Here's a post from some time ago that may help...
    Hooray!!!  I finally got the information on how to get a refund within 15 days for icloud storage upgrade!
    Just call 1-800-MYIPHONE
    Your call will initially be handled by a first level technical person, but he will have to refer you to a  senior advisor because they are the only ones who can issue a refund.
    Once you have a senior advisor on the phone, he will ask for your Apple ID, last 4 of your credit card or a security question, and then issue a refund IMMEDIATELY.

  • Upgrading a 3-node Hyper-V clusters storage for £10k and getting the most bang for our money.

    Hi all, looking for some discussion and advice on a few questions I have regarding storage for our next cluster upgrade cycle.
    Our current system for a bit of background:
    3x Clustered Hyper-V Servers running Server 2008 R2 (72TB Ram, dual cpu etc...)
    1x Dell MD3220i iSCSI with dual 1GB connections to each server (24x 146GB 15k SAS drives in RAID 10) - Tier 1 storage
    1x Dell MD1200 Expansion Array with 12x 2TB 7.2K drives in RAID 10 - Tier 2 storage, large vm's, files etc...
    ~25 VM's running all manner of workloads, SQL, Exchange, WSUS, Linux web servers etc....
    1x DPM 2012 SP1 Backup server with its own storage.
    Reasons for upgrading:
    Storage though put is becoming an issue as we only get around 125MB/s over the dual 1GB iSCSI connections to each physical server.  (tried everything under the sun to improve bandwidth but I suspect the MD3220i Raid is the bottleneck here.
    Backup times for vm's (once every night) is now in the 5-6 hours range.
    Storage performance during backups and large file syncronisations (DPM)
    Tier 1 storage is running out of capacity and we would like to build in more IOPS for future expansion.
    Tier 2 storage is massively underused (6tb of 12tb Raid 10 space)
    Migrating to 10GB server links.
    Total budget for the upgrade is in the region of £10k so I have to make sure we get absolutely the most bang for our buck.  
    Current Plan:
    Upgrade the cluster to Server 2012 R2
    Install a dual port 10GB NIC team in each server and virtualize cluster, live migration, vm and management traffic (with QoS of course)
    Purchase a new JBOD SAS array and leverage the new Storage Spaces and SSD caching/tiering capabilities.  Use our existing 2TB drives for capacity and purchase sufficient SSD's to replace the 15k SAS disks.
    On to the questions:
    Is it supported to use storage spaces directly connected to a Hyper-V cluster?  I have seen that for our setup we are on the verge of requiring a separate SOFS for storage but the extra costs and complexity are out of our reach. (RDMA, extra 10GB NIC's
    etc...)
    When using a storage space in a cluster, I have seen various articles suggesting that each csv will be active/passive within the cluster.  Causing redirected IO for all cluster nodes not currently active?
    If CSV's are active/passive its suggested that you should have a csv for each node in your cluster?  How in production do you balance vm's accross 3 CSV's without manually moving them to keep 1/3 of load on each csv?  Ideally I would like just
    a single CSV active/active for all vm's to sit on.  (ease of management etc...)
    If the CSV is active/active am I correct in assuming that DPM will backup vm's without causing any re-directed IO?
    Will DPM backups of VM's be incremental in terms of data transferred from the cluster to the backup server?
    Thanks in advance for anyone who can be bothered to read through all that and help me out!  I'm sure there are more questions I've forgotten but those will certainly get us started.
    Also lastly, does anyone else have a better suggestion for how we should proceed?
    Thanks

    1) You can use direct connection to SAS with a 3-node cluster of course (4-node, 5-node etc). Sure it would be much faster then running with an additional SoFS layer (with SAS fed directly to your Hyper-V cluster nodes all reads and writes would be local
    travelling down the SAS fabric and with SoFS layer added you'll have the same amount of I/Os targeting SAS + Ethernet with its huge compared to SAS latency sitting in between a requestor and your data residing on SAS spindles, I/Os overwrapped into SMB-over-TCP-over-IP-over-Etherent
    requests at the hypervisor-SoFS layers). Reason why SoFS is recommended - final SoFS-based solution would be cheaper as SAS-only is a pain to scale beyond basic 2-node configs. Instead of getting SAS switches, adding redundant SAS controllers to every hypervisor
    node and / or looking for expensive multi-port SAS JBODs you'll have a pair (at least) of SoFS boxes doing a file level proxy in front of a SAS-controlled back end. So you'll compromise performance in favor of cost. See:
    http://davidzi.com/windows-server-2012/hyper-v-and-scale-out-file-cluster-home-lab-design/
    Used interconnect diagram within this design would actually scale beyond 2 hosts. But you'll have to get a SAS switch (actually at least two of them for redundancy as you don't want any component to become a single point of failure, don't you?)
    2) With 2012 R2 all I/O from a multiple hypervisor nodes is done thru the storage fabric (in your case that's SAS) and only metadata updates would be done thru the coordinator node and using Ethernet connectivity. Redirected I/O would be used in a two cases
    only a) no SAS connectivity from the hypervisor node (but Ethernet one is still present) and b) broken-by-implementation backup software would keep access to CSV using snapshot mechanism for too long. In a nutshell: you'll be fine :) See for references:
    http://www.petri.co.il/redirected-io-windows-server-2012r2-cluster-shared-volumes.htm
    http://www.aidanfinn.com/?p=12844
    3) These are independent things. CSV is not active/passive (see 2) so basically with an interconnection design you'll be using there's virtually no point to having one-CSV-per-hypervisor. There are cases when you'd still probably do this. For example if
    you'd have all-flash and combined spindle/flash LUNs and you know for sure you want some VMs to sit on flash and others (no so I/O hungry) to stay within "spinning rust". One more case is many-node cluster. With it multiple nodes basically fight for a single
    LUN and a lot of time is wasted for SCSI reservation conflicts resove (ODX has no reservation offload like VAAI has so even if ODX is present its not going to help). Again it's a place where SoFS "helps" as having intermediate proxy level turns block I/O into
    file I/O triggering SCSI reservation conflicts for a two SoFS nodes only instead of an evey node in a hypervisor cluster. One more good example is when you'll have a mix of a local I/O (SAS) and Ethernet with a Virtual SAN products. Virtual SAN runs directly
    as part of the hypervisor and emulates high performance SAN using cheap DAS. To increase performance it DOES make sense to create a  concept of a "local LUN" (and thus "local CSV") as reads targeting this LUN/CSV would be passed down the local storage
    stack instead of hitting the wire (Ethernet) and going to partner hypervisor nodes to fetch the VM data. See:
    http://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-native-san-on-two-physical-servers
    http://www.starwindsoftware.com/sw-configuring-ha-shared-storage-on-scale-out-file-servers
    (feeding basically DAS to Hyper-V and SoFS to avoid expensive SAS JBOD and SAS spindles). The same thing as VMware is doing with their VSAN on vSphere. But again that's NOT your case so it DOES NOT make sense to keep many CSVs with only 3 nodes present or
    SoFS possibly used. 
    4) DPM is going to put your cluster in redirected mode for a very short period of time. Microsoft says NEVER. See:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh758090.aspx
    Direct and Redirect I/O
    Each Hyper-V host has a direct path (direct I/O) to the CSV storage Logical Unit Number (LUN). However, in Windows Server 2008 R2 there are a couple of limitations:
    For some actions, including DPM backup, the CSV coordinator takes control of the volume and uses redirected instead of direct I/O. With redirection, storage operations are no longer through a host’s direct SAN connection, but are instead routed
    through the CSV coordinator. This has a direct impact on performance.
    CSV backup is serialized, so that only one virtual machine on a CSV is backed up at a time.
    In Windows Server 2012, these limitations were removed:
    Redirection is no longer used. 
    CSV backup is now parallel and not serialized.
    5) Yes, VSS and CBT would be used so data would be incremental after first initial "seed" backup. See:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff399619.aspx
    http://itsalllegit.wordpress.com/2013/08/05/dpm-2012-sp1-manually-copy-large-volume-to-secondary-dpm-server/
    I'd look at some other options. There are few good discussion you may want to read. See:
    http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1209963
    http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/316868-server-2012-2-node-cluster-without-san
