Question about Apple's Student Discount

Has Apple always given a student discount the past few years? I don't want to wait for the new OS if there won't be a discount and a free printer and iPod.

You have to order from the online educational store.

    HOW TO KNOW THE SECURITY QUESTIONS ABOUT APPLE ID?HOW TO KNOW THE SECURITY QUESTIONS ABOUT APPLE ID?

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Two questions about apple mail

    hey everyone. i'm getting to learn a little more about apple mail these days; smoothing out Gmail IMAP synching and whatnaught. i've stumbled into the mail directory on my macbook and had some questions.
    1. the "mail downloads" folder (home/library/mail downloads). what is the significance of this folder? in the preferences, i have my default downloads saved to the main "downloads" folder. yet there is a random number of files in there; i don't think they constiute the totality of every message i've received that has a file to download, so what is the logic of those files? if i delete them will the downloads not be available from individual mail messages any longer?
    2. i see some older IMAP mailboxes for two accounts that i don't even have access to any more. they don't, however, show up on the mail app itself. is there some way to reintegrate these mailboxes (just for archival purposes, and the ability to see their messages) into the mail program?
    thanks so much!
    quin

    Aaron,
    The Mail Downloads folder contents are redundant to what is kept with the messages. The most typical ways that content results in that folder are:
    1) quickly clicking the Save button on a message, rather than using a click-hold to then have the option to choose a target location of the Save;
    2) you open an attachment with another application. There Mail Downloads is only meant to be a temporary storage location. Attachments are kept as originally received with the message itself. Also, in the more recent version of Mail, it is redundantly kept in a folder within the INBOX.mbox folder named Attachments -- this is a behind the scenes behavior. It first appeared only for IMAP mailboxes, but more recently in Mail 4.x is also the case with a POP account. If unedited, then depending how you have your preference set up, attachments may be removed when Mail is quit, etc.;
    3) Mail in 10.5.x and 10.6.x seems to require the Mail Downloads folder to be created, rather than use the Downloads folder. The latter is mostly used as the location of items you click to load from a remote server, whether in a Browser or in Mail.
    With respect to your old IMAP account folders or mailboxes, where have you found them? I would assume any old IMAP accounts have been deactivated in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced if in the Mail folder, but not showing in the Sidebar to Mail? It would problematic to activate an IMAP account if it can no longer contact the IMAP server. Any xxxx.imapmbox folder can be dragged from the Mail folder (after quitting Mail) to say the Desktop, renamed as xxxx.mbox folder, and then back in Mail imported to be an On My Mac mailbox for archival.
    More info, please.

  • Few questions about Photoshop CS4 Student Edition

    I'm thinking of getting a DSLR camera in the summer, so (since I'm a geek) I want to make sure I've got all the software I'll need to edit the photos once I've taken them. The catch is that I graduate from university this year, so if I'm going to buy Photoshop (ie if I'm going to _afford_ Photoshop) I need to do so in the next couple of months to get the educational discount.
    I've just got a few questions as to whether I actually need Photoshop CS4 for my situation:
    *I already have Lightroom 2 (courtesy of Amazon Vine!) for processing RAW files, doing basic colour adjustment etc. Would I get £150 worth of extra usage from Photoshop CS4 compared to Lightroom?
    *What DRM/copy protection does Photoshop CS4 use? Is it the same that's used in Lightroom 2 (hasn't given me any problems) or the Macrovision stuff that installs a background service (called something like 'Adobe LM monitor') on your computer?
    *If I need to reactivate over the phone some time in the future (e.g. when I move to a new computer and I've already used the activations) do I still need to be a qualifying student?
    Reckoned there wouldn't be a better place to ask these than PS forums :)

    >then you just don't know enough about photoshop.
    Actually, if you had read the initial post you'd realise that I'm fully aware that Photoshop is hugely powerful. However it doesn't offer enough benefit for my usage (ie retouching of amateur photos) to make it worth the money + computer infection. My above post wasn't an attempt to say that Photoshop is bad, or that Gimp or any of these other freeware programs are even in the same league, I was just stating that my own need for Photoshop's power isn't great enough to make me want to install spyware.
    >hmmm how about A PAYING JOB! i think that's what the clincher is for most folks.
    True, but (again, as I explained above) I'm not a professional photographer/graphic artist/etc. and therefore there is no 'need it for work' motivation.

  • Question about Apple's new iPad retina requirement.

    Apple recently made it a requirement that apps support all retina displays for both iPads and iPhones.
    What acceptable options are available in AIR for supporting the iPad Retina display and still meet Apple's new requirement?
    Here's my situation :
    I've been working on a universal app using AIR 3.6 that works well in all iOS resolutions other than for iPad retina (2048x1536).
    When building native support for the iPad retina resolution, the app performance is very poor (due to having to animate and manipulate such large bitmaps). The coding approaches that I've used are supposed to be good on performance, so I doubt that I can optimize things to the point where the performance would be acceptable using the larger art assets.
    In comparison, when I use an older version of AIR (3.2) and let the iOS compatibility mode automatically scale up the app to fill the 2048x1536 screen, the performace of the app is just fine (and looks almost identical).
    Would using this type of approach cause an app to be rejected by Apple now?
    It appears that AIR 3.6 added the ability to restrict just the the iPad high resolution (without restricting iPhones ) using :
    <requestedDisplayResolution excludeDevices="iPad3">high</requestedDisplayResolution>
    It seems that this would solve my performance issue, but I'm not sure if Apple's new "retina support requirement" would result in my AIR app being rejected if I used this approach to disable iPad Retina support.
    Does anyone know if Apple will now accept an app that was built with iPad retina support disabled through this approach?
    Another option that I've tried that may be a workable solution is :
    During launch when 2048x1536 resolution is detected, the app loads all of the 1024x768 art assets instead and then scales up the app by a factor of two (using scaleX = scaleY = 2).
    The above seems to generate acceptable performance. The artworks looks a little blurrier and less crisp using this approach due to the scaling, but is acceptable to me personally. As this is technically using "standard" resolution art assets and scaling them up, would taking this approach get rejected by Apple?
    I'm open to any other options/approaches/suggestions to adding iPad retina support that would allow me to address the performance issues on iPad retina and still allow my app to get approved by Apple. I'm just a little bit confused on what constitutes an app having "iPad Retina" support. Does the app just need to be compiled with a newer version of the iOS SDK to get through the approval process, or does this mean something else?
    Thanks.

    Seems like you have two options, if you are already scaling stuff down after launching at a higher res why not make it an option. Have a setting for "High Resolution" and one for "High Performance" the difference would is one would run in Retina mode and one would run in standard mode so users with iPad4 and iPhone5 could probably use the High Res but iphone 4 users can switch to the High Performance setting.
    The way I have dealt with it is design everything to a 1024 width and 640 height, this is standard Kindle Fire resolution but almost all devices crop the app in a way where all the key features fit on screen, I just had an app approved 2 days ago by Apple using this technique so basically I am running 1024 graphics on the retina screen, they look great (we are only humans and we can't make out every pixel despite what Apple thinks) and the performance is nice as well. I think they worry about apps being stretched for some reason when apple ups a 1024 app to a retina width using their software it looks horrible but if it is done by the developer it looks great. Download a non retina app and try it on a retina iPad or export your app for Standard resolution and check it out vs exporting for high.
    I think you will be fine either way.

  • Question about Installing CS6 Student Edition

    I purchased student version of Adobe CS6 about a year ago, unfortunately about the same time as I made this purchase my laptop died. I recently graduated from college, but I was wondering if there is a window of time that I need to install the suite before I become ineligible as a student/or if I will be unable to install and register. I currently have a work computer, but don't want to install the program until I get my own computer. Furthermore, how many devices can I install the student edition on? If I need to install it before my student status expires, I'd like to install it on my work computer, then hopefully get my own personal device ASAP and install it on that as well if possible. Thanks for the help.

    If you are still a student then you can install and use the software.
    As far as installing it on a work computer goes, that is usually up to the company you work for.  Most companies control what is and is not allowed to be installed on a computer they own.

  • One last question about apple tv!! viewing movies in movies folder

    thanks to those who have responded to my previous questions.
    thinking of buying an apple TV this weekend, but here's my last question (which I just thought of!)
    i've got a collection of movies in various formats, usually .mov or .dv of home videos i've made in FCE and iMovie over the years, some of them several GB in size (oops!)
    what's the best way of viewing these on the apple tv. for instance
    1. does apple TV let you look into your 'movies' folder in the home folder to play any movies it finds there
    2. will it play .dv or .mov files, or does it need to be a specific format
    3. i've noticed an 'export to apple tv' in quicktime pro, do i need to do this for all my movies before apple tv will play them. and after i do an 'export to apple tv' where do the files need to be? imported into itunes, or just sat in my 'movies' folder?
    cheers, looking forward to visiting the apple store tomorrow!

    1. does apple TV let you look into your 'movies' folder in the home folder to play any movies it finds there.
    No, the tv uses itunes for its source of movies.
    2. will it play .dv or .mov files, or does it need to be a specific format
    DV, no. MOV, maybe. MOV is a container type not a compression type, if the MOV container has the correct compression formats in it then it will play. Movies for the tv need to be either mpeg4/2 or mpeg4/10 (H264/AVC)
    3. i've noticed an 'export to apple tv' in quicktime pro, do i need to do this for all my movies before apple tv will play them. and after i do an 'export to apple tv' where do the files need to be? imported into itunes, or just sat in my 'movies' folder?
    Yes 'export to tv' will do the job for you. You need to be aware though that DV with the wrong field dominance will cause it a problem, and some cameras do use the wrong field dominance. It won't work with muxed files (mpeg2 for example) and on SD movies it can be a little wasteful on space. I've always used mpegstreamclip to convert from DV.
    Of course from now on you'll be using FCE with this in mind and exporting accordingly.

  • The second question about Apple ID

  • Question about Apple ID/iCloud email/and purchases?

    Hi,
    I know that these have been discussed at length, but I want to ask these two question for myself to get a definite answer, Pleas help me!
    1. Does an iCloud email alisas act just as a regular email?  I can send from the new address, recieve email from people mailing to this new address, and sign into my content with this new address just as if it was the original one?
    2. I really want a new iCloud account to start over.  I have had an Apple ID for years before iCloud came out.  If I delete my iCloud account and create a new one, will it be integrated with all my past purchases?  Are the Apple ID and iCloud account sparate?  I want to keep my Apple ID, but be able to sign into it and access my purchased content from my new iCloud account?  Can this be done.
    I am really grateful!!

    An email alias will act just like you iCloud email address, and it will receive incoming mail at the same inbox. It will be added to your existing iCloud account/ID so you can continue to sign into your account with your current ID.
    Your iCloud ID is separate from your iTunes account ID.  You can keep your current iTunes ID and add a second ID for your new iCloud account; they do not need to be the same.  If you want to migrate your data to a new iCloud account, on your device go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account (this only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud).  When prompted choos Keep on My [iDevice].  Then set up a new account with a different ID and turn your iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted, choos Merge to upload the data to your new account.

  • Question about Apple Support?

    Hi,
    My computer's internal drive got rewritten over with Window XP and I'm working on file recovery. I'm doubtful I'll get anything back.
    I don't have Apple Support but my sister thinks if I pay for a membership they might be able to help me out. They have a one time incident option. Does anyone know if they would be able to help me with this problem?
    S.

    Smokerz,
    Thanks, I meant that I tried to take off my Mac and hold apple, option, O, F but I get the Windows screen since my drive was rewritten over with that so gave up. I talked to G-Tech today about the partitions not ejecting when I close down and they said that's because I'm booting off the drive itself so they aren't meant to eject.
    I'm trying to find out why my Disk Utility is crashing and Disk Images won't open and have asked G-Tech about that. Hopefully it will help.
    Appreciate your advice on recovery. I can't risk spending money for a program I'm not sure will work. Yes, I plan to be religious about backup once I built up my system again.
    S.

  • Questions about buying CS4 student edition

    I'm a college student and I would like to take advantage of the amazing price Adobe offers students on the CS4 design standard package.  I have some questions though:
    1. I'm not a design major.  Does that matter?  The only thing I see is that you have to be a college student - it doesn't specify that I need to be any particular major.
    2. Can I install the software on 2 computers?  I have two Macs that I would like to install the programs on.

    No. You just have to be a student. Keep in mind the student version does not allow you to do commercial work with the applications. On the other hand in the US you are allowed to do commercial work with the educational version. both version can be upgraded to the next version with no restrictions.
    2. Can I install the software on 2 computers?  I have two Macs that I would like to install the programs on.
    Yes, but only if you use them one at a time. You can't have your roommate working while you work. That would require 2 Licenses.
