    I would first go to your Adobe Account and make sure that all info in it was correct and then match up all S/N's with your records. If you find any problems, then make corrections.
    If all matches, but does not work, contact Adobe and see if they still sell replacement DVD's for CS2. Adobe usually does, for a small price. Still, you will need your correct S/N, so you will probably be back on the phone to Adobe. When I once used them for a S/N problem, they were quick and did a perfect job.
    Good luck,

    Wifi only iPad? You'll find no shortage of free hotspots, usually in restaurants or truck stops. (some may not be free but pay)

  • .m4r file on desktop - how do I get it into iTunes "Ringtones"??

    I've found a number of web sites with detailed step by step instructions on how to convert an old MP3 ringtone file into an ACC format .m4r file so that I can use it for an iPhone ringtone.  No problem with that part.
    I now have a .m4r file sitting on my desktop (Mac Pro, Mountain Lion).  I open up iTunes and go to the "Ringtones" area.  There is nothing there because I've never had any ringtones on an Apple device before today (and never purchased any from iTunes store).  When I try to drag the .m4r file in, I get the green button with a + in it, but no matter what I do, the file isn't imported into iTunes.  A number of the instructions you find online say you double click the icon on the desktop and it automatically imports.  All that does is to start playing the file in iTunes (which is the behavior I would have predicted, since it's a music file).  I've also tried "File >> Add to Library" from iTunes, and that doesn't do it either.
    Am I missing some crucial step here??  Apple tech support can't help (just hung up with them).
    Thanks!

    How close is it to the 30 second ringtone limit? I'm clutching at straws here, but I guess iTunes could refuse to process it if it's > 30 seconds??
    And you can confirm you did the following (assuming that you are creating a ringtone from an MP4 already in your iTunes library):
    1. Adjust the MP4 file's length to be < 30 seconds (and played it in iTunes to confirm that it was only 30 seconds)
    2. Right-clicked the MP4 and selected "Create AAC version" - to create a duplicate of 30 seconds or less. Confirmed that it plays.
    3. Right-clicked the newly created 30 second clip and select "Show in Finder"
    4. Drag it to your desktop.
    5. Deleted the 30 second clip in iTunes (to remove the reference from your iTunes library.
    6. Changed the file on your desptop to .m4r and clicked "use .m4r" when you were prompted.
    If you've done all this, there is no reason that I can see why it shouldn't import. Try dragging and dropping it from your desktop into iTunes.

  • How can I get new tabs to automatically open when I click on a new site (rather than replace the existing page I am using)?

    For some reason when i click on to a new site or link, tabs no longer automatically open so if i forget to manually click on the little plus sign at the end of the tab strip, my new destination replaces where i currently was. This was not the case in the past and I cannot find where to reset this so that a new tab will once again auto create. !
    I tried options/tabs: open new windows in a new tab instead, but this did not fix the issue. Can anyone tell me what i need to do get firefox to create auto creat a new tab when i move to a new link rather than replace the one currently in use? Thank you!

    You can middle click a link to open that link in a new tab.

  • Using Parallels, would like to use bootcamp instead, but I don't know how?

    Hi guys.
    I have a MBP 15" late 2011 ( the one before retina display model) os x 10.7.5, upgraded RAM to 16GB.
    I've installed parallels desktop 7 and used Windows 7 through it.
    I am aware that using parallel windows means the RAM and processing power is share between 2 os... am I right?
    I would like to play some games that I can only play on Windows, and I guess using bootcamp will be better, because processing power is not shared.
    In this case, how do I 'install' my Windows on bootcamp?
    I know my MBP has bootcamp pre-installed, all I wonder is would installing it on parallels first affect my switch to bootcamp.
    I've heard of some case...
    People used bootcamp at the beginning, and switched to use parallels, that means the parallel windows is still from bootcamp partition.
    What about my case... parallels first and then bootcamp (never activate bootcamp until now) Do i need to somehow reinstall my windows to bootcamp partition??
    Sorry for my poor English

    Parallels and VMware Fusion allows you to convert your Boot Camp volume into a virtual machine, so you can run OS X and the Windows copy you have in the Boot Camp volume at the same time. However, in your case, everything is more difficult, because you have to install Windows onto the Boot Camp volume.
    First, make a backup of your data with Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner. You wouldn't be the first one that deletes the OS X volume by mistake and lose everything.
    Then, open  > Software Update, and install all the updates. After that, open "Boot Camp Assistant", in /Applications/Utilities) and follow its steps to install Windows. Make sure you tick the option to download the Windows support software, and you will need a DVD or USB drive to burn it. When it finishes, your computer will restart from the Windows DVD, and follow these steps > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf

  • I just bought a used iPad 2, how do I change the previous owners info for the app store? Whenever I try to buy an app it asks for the previous owners password for the iTunes account. I have my own account Nd would like to use it.

    Need help Changing the previous owners settings for the app store. I can't buy any apps. Because it asks for previous owners information.

    I had this same problem, and it was erased.
    For some really odd reason iPads sometimes retain the last user iTunes account on first visit to the iTunes store.
    I am thinking it is actually the iTunes store recognising the iPad, and so 'helping' by showing the last log in settings.
    So I would also recommend Erase All Content and Settings to start.
    If that was done then what you need to do is log in, or create your own itunes account.
    This is in Settings, Store.
    create your own iTunes account (or log in with an old one).
    Purchase something.
    Then (as long as you don't have any app from the last owner on) it should never ask for the old account again.

  • As of 2/19/12 I could open two independent firefox windows and they did not share cookies. As of now (2/23/12) if I open two independent firefox windows they do share cookies. How do I get them to stop sharing cookies?

    When google decided to change their privacy and sharing policies I started using two different windows to do all internet browsing and work. I would open my gmail in one window and then do everything else in another window so that google couldn't tie my searches and other internet activity together with my google accounts.
    This process was working well for me until about three days ago, when all of a sudden my two Firefox windows started sharing cookies. I know for a fact they had not been sharing cookies previously because I personally go in and clear them after I visit certain websites.
    From my research on this issue it seems that in the past this was the default way all firefox windows operated (sharing cookies with one another), so I don't know why I managed to get several weeks of not sharing cookies and suddenly they are sharing. But I just want to go back to the way it was just this weekend. Please help or I'll be forced to use IE and that would be sad.

    Firefox stores cookies on a per site basis.
    I am guessing that what you are seeing is that Google is sharing cookies across its own sites.
    It is possible (an advanced subject not normally covered in this forum) to open multiple instances of Firefox with separate profiles, and thus separate cookies. A more normal method of achieving that is to use a separate user OS account. Or possibly to use firefox portable.
    I have not myself followed news of Googles cookies policies, but I see it is in the news again http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/02/22/ico_enquires_about_google_system_for_serving_third_party_cookies/
