Need to keep signing in....

I have had a subscription to CC since the beginning of November and this has only started happening in the past day and a half.
For some reason Photoshop "forgets" that I am signed in.
If I use Photoshop and then close it for say an hour or two then I get the "You need to sign in to Photoshop" Message.
I can sign in fine and everything is OK but it is getting to be a PITA. The CC app also signs out.
Also when I do get in to PS I get a box telling me to complete my registration with Adobe (which was done ages ago - but I checked it again today to be on the safe side).
Any suggestions?
I am using Windows 7 64bit and have a subscription to the Photographers Program.
My concern is - if, for whatever reason, I loose Internet access I wont be able to access PS as it is telling me I cant use it until I sign in. My understanding was that I should only have to "check in" with Adobe every 30 days or so. Up until yesterday I was permanently running the CC app and checking for updates every few days so my machine should be considered to have checked in.
TIA

Thanks for taking the time to reply - yes I absolutely know that you are a user just like me (I have said that a few times in my responses as well), however it is worth asking the community as they often know the work around's and respond far quicker than Adobe ever could.
I do get what you are saying about the activation servers not constantly checking but as I said I leave my CC signed-in all the time. If I follow what you say I should be signing-out and then signing back-in every now and then.
My Photoshop was updated when the last update came out (certainly within the past 30 days) so I would have expected my 30 day count not to extend before that at the very least.
Please don't think I am shooting the messenger (as I said I get it that you are not Adobe Support) I really do appreciate your response.
In the light of the reply from Station_two it would appear that I am not the only one this is happening to - lets hope something is sorted soon. In the meantime I will put up with it until it gets really annoying and then if necessary I will contact Adobe direct.
Cheers
John

I use the Icalendar at home, at work, and on my Iphone. I don't want to have to "sign in" every time I need my calendar. How do I stay signed in? I have checked the "keep signed in" box, but it does not work.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Staying signed in at iCloud.com is not a problem for me. Try resetting your browser or emptying its cache.

Mac Book Pro keeps signing me out of university wifi

I am having a slight problem that my mac keeps signing me out of the university wifi. When on other wifi networks I am having no problems at all and for the previous year have never had a problem with it on the university wifi either. It is currently running on mavericks.
Any help would be appreciated before it goes out the window.
Thanks

As I hinted.. dropouts of wireless are not unusual at all on the AC model.. and AFAIK there is not much in the way of a fix.
The ipad might be using 2.4ghz which will work better than 5ghz.
Do a full factory reset of the TC.
Give it all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Including a different name for the 5ghz band. I want to try and force bands to see if it is only 5ghz giving trouble.
Then set channels for the 2.4ghz.. try in turn, 11, 6, 1 in that order.
Setting bands for 5ghz does nothing apparently..
Join the MBP to the 2.4ghz and see if it suffers the same problems.. if so that is not it..
Then I think you might need to check the MBP as it might have issues.. did you upgrade install Mavericks? Did the issue exist before mavericks if you did upgrade?

Skype keeps signing me out and back in

This problem has been happening to me for about two weeks.Everytime i log into skype the blue circle keeps on spinning. and about every 10 second i go online and then offline. I've already tried deleting the program and redownloading skype and the same problem happens. i keep signing out and signing in. This problem started happening when i downloaded skype on my Phone (android smartphone). I only used skype on my phone once and after that I deleted it ever since then it hasn't been working.

It's possible that this may be a connection problem; I've had problems like this before, and they stopped after I changed internet connections. Try using this site to test your internet speed. Skype needs about 30kps for regular calls, so I'd assume if it's even slower than that, it may be your connection. You can try using a friend's wifi or some sort of public wifi to test this theory.

Do I need to keep my external hard drive connected at all times for time capsule?

Do I need to keep my external hard drive connected at all times for time capsule?

Hi,
I have a similar question. I have backed up my external hard drive through my computer, onto my TC. When I go into TM, it doesn't show the external hard drive unless it is connected to the computer. Can I access the info from the external hard drive that is on the TC if I don't have the hard drive plugged in? If so, how can I do that?
Thanks,
Bernadette

I teach Continuing education classes to Real Estate agents and I need to issue them certificates at the class, whihc need to be signed by me and it needs to contain their info on the certificate. The certificate is currently saved in a word format.What i'm trying to accomplish is to do a "mail merge " ( as some classes i have as many as 150 attendees) for the document, digitally sign each one with my signature on the certificate and then e-mail it out to the respective attendees. can this be done? if so How?

This is the step that I took after inputting my signature.
On the right, after saving my document, I click "Get Others to Sign." I was confused because it says that it's powered by EchoSign. Like I stated before, my clients are able to sign this document when I send it to them, but it is returned to me with their signature (not in the signature field, but at the end of the document), and my signature is missing. I tested this on myself - my signature is missing when they receive it.

In order to take advantage of the iPhone trade in, do I need to have met my upgrade eldigbility date, or do I just need to re-sign up for a new 2 year plan with the new iPhone 6?

In order to take advantage of the iPhone trade in, do I need to have met my upgrade eldigbility date, or do I just need to re-sign up for a new 2 year plan with the new iPhone 6?

thanks, a HUGE suggestion for you: Please add that to the restrictions of the trade-in details online, it mentions that nowhere and is VERY deceptive. Since at least 90% of 5c and 5s users are under a 2 year contract and both phones have been out just a year, there will be a majority of bitter customers who fell for the ad and will be taking advantage of the buy out options the other carriers are offering.

Once I finish an iMovie project and I publish it to various destinations (Dropbox iTunes YouTube etc) do I need to keep the original raw video on my MacBook or can I archive it to an external hard drive.

I have now finished 3 iMovie projects and have learned how to prepare them for sharing through various media like Dropbox, iDVD YouTube iTunes etc. but I now have produced a huge number of related files which are filling up my hard drive to the point that I can't import any further raw video until I archive or delete many of these files.
What files do I need to keep on my MacBook in order to be able to keep these various shared locations functioning, and what should I delete or archive?

iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
(note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

Need to do a re-format, what do i need to keep?

hi, I need to re-format my desk top computer and re-install my OS. I've got a big i-tunes library and have spent ages organising it and importing artwork so don't want to lose anything. All my music is stored on an external drive so won't be touched by the re-install.
What I want to know is what files do I need to keep in order for my I-tunes to operate in the same way after the OS re-install?
I presumed it would be the files in my c drive-> programme files -> I-tunes folder so did a dummy run by transfering these files to my laptop, and connecting my external drive and mapping it to the same letter. It didn't work.
Have I missed some files?

Copy the entire _*iTunes folder*_ in My Documents/My Music to the external.
Then copy it back after you fromat.
You can even keep it on the external and use it.
Click the icon to launch iTunes then immediately press and hold Shift.
iTunes will ask if you want to *Create new library* or *Use existing library*.
Select *Use exisiting library* and select the *iTunes library.itl* file in the *iTunes folder* you copied to the external.

Do I need to keep a local copy?

All of my music is on a single external drive.
Once itunes match upoads/match all of my music, do I need to keep the external drive connected to one of my computer?
Can I store the external drive in my safe or even trow it out and keep everything on the cloud without any local storage?
Thank You

Thank you for your response. However I am still puzzled about having to keep a local copy. To be safe, this mean that I also have to keep a backup of my local copy as well.
If you care about your data, yes you should. Redundant backup plans are what keeps data safe.

ITune Match has a copy my entire song collection as both links to my songs known to the Apple Store and cloud copies of my songs it could not match. So effectively iTunes Match has my entire 10,000 song collection but I am still forced to keep a backup of my song collection in a safe or on another cloud service like Dropbox or I risk loosing it all when my local drive eventually fails!
It's not a true copy. Think if it as a mirror. For example I purchased the recently remastered early Rush albums on CD. There was one album in each box in 24-bit, 96 kHz which I have ripped and then converted to AAC @ 256 Kbps for the highest quality AAC track I can get. Now, most of these tracks were matched to tracks in the iTunes Store (which is fine since I'm going to be listening to them on my iPhone), but they are not the same tracks that are in my iTunes library. If I had a disaster I would not be able to restore the tracks I spent to much time on, I'd have to settle for the tracks I can get from the iTunes Store. For me this is not an optimal solution, which is why I keep local backups.
If none of this is important to you, or if your other personal data is not important to you, then by all means don't backup. The choice is yours. But if you do not backup you will eventually lose data.

Backing up files on external hard drive... do I need to keep render files?

Hi, I back up all of my video work and files onto DVDs and to a Lacie external hard drive. I am filling that up quickly and would like to know if I need to keep copies of the render files, which are quite large. Will it save me that much time later? Or are they simply taking up much needed space?
thanks in advance
Rob Grossman

Welcome to the forum!
Render files can always be regenerated if needed. I dump them before backups.
If you keep your original footage on tape, the only stuff you need to back up is the FCP project file, any still images, AE files, etc. This takes VERY little space in the scheme of things.
The final quicktime video file (if that is what was created) can also be sent back to tape.
Good luck.

Do I need to keep the Capsule plugged in to my cable modem in order to use it for backup?

The location of my cable modem is really inconvenient. I'd like to move the Capsule to a different room. Do I need to keep it connected to the cable modem in order to be able to use it as my Time Machine backup device?

I assume your cable modem is a router.. as such the TC should be wired to it in bridge. It will not do anything worse than now for the network in the house.. and the TC can then be accessed as per normal.
TC is designed to be plugged into the modem or main router by ethernet.
You can move it anywhere you like in the house as long as you have ethernet connection back to the modem.
You can run the TC by wireless .. it will have the following effects.
1. Super slow backups. It will simply reduce the current wireless speed by half or more for backups.
2. Since there is no QoS your internet will stop during backups. Or near to.
3. You will affect all wireless clients during the backups.
It can work, if your backups are very small.. but the TC becomes a near to useless dumb client in the network.. ethernet ports are off, wireless becomes mere client.. so you cannot even connect directly to it.
If you try the TC in stand alone.. ie a secondary network.. that can work.
1. The computer will then have backups or internet not both. You will need to deliberately connect to the TC to get backups working. That is assuming you use wireless.
2. You can do it with ethernet. and have internet by wireless. but the setup is tricky.. tell us if you want to proceed this way.
3. The problem is, the TC now becomes useless to the whole network and is only used by one computer. You may as well have bought a cheap USB drive, which is more reliable and faster.

You can install and activate CS6 on both machines perfectly legally.
