The legal status of the fonts packaged with the trial version of CS5.5 after expiry

Greetings,
This is basically a question of conscience: I recently had the 30 day trial version of CS5.5, and was surprised to find that after the trial expired the fonts included in the demo package did not “self destruct” but continued to be available on my system. Does this mean that I can legitimately keep them on my computer (strictly for personal use)? The situation seems somewhat paradoxical – I can’t imagine Adobe simply giving these fonts away, yet I also can’t imagine them expecting people to hunt the fonts down and delete them independently once the trial period runs out. (Obviously they hope people will buy the full product, but unfortunately that proved not to be an option for me at the moment.) I didn't see anything about this in the initial terms and conditions when installing the trial package and cannot find any official stance on this in the documentation, so unless I missed something, it would seem that Adobe has no ground to ask people to manually remove the fonts in this situation. I would appreciate your advice.

Adobe is not giving those fonts away.
If you decide not to purchase a license to an Adobe product after installing and using the trial, you have no legal right to use the font after the trial period is over.
Yes, the removal of those fonts was not accounted for but that doesn't change their legal status.
Unfortunately, there are two problems associated with killing the ability to use the fonts after the trial period is over:
(1)     We don't automatically uninstall the software after the trial period is over. We simply don't let you run it via the activation mechanism which blocks the execution. However, fonts are not involved in the activation mechanism (at least not currently) and as such, when the trial is over, the fonts are still installed and accessible by other programs. We would need to get the fonts into the activation mechanism somehow to be able to control their use when either a trial is over or the software is otherwise uninstalled!
(2)     Currently, the Adobe fonts are installed into the system fonts directory. We would need to be careful to keep track of whether the user already had licenses to such fonts prior to installing a trial of Adobe software and not mucking with their status afterwards.

You're welcome. Again, as mentioned in that discussion, you can use Font Book to check if the foundry has entered any license limitation notices in the font info (Preview > Show Font Info).
Basically, fonts are code. The copyright applies to the code. If the product you distribute doesn't include the code, then the copyright does not apply to it. That's why embedding has to be dealt with specifically, because embedding fonts in a document means including the code or parts of it in the document.

Let's try the following user tip with that one:
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package ..." error messages when installing iTunes for Windows

Blue screen on start up. The wheel spin and the blue screen gets brighter for a second, then the blue screen dims and it repeats with the wheel.

When I start up my imac, I get a blue screen. The wheel spin and the screen gets brighter for a second, then the blue screen dims and it repeats with the wheel.

Are you referring to the startup screen which is normally gray with the dark gray Apple logo or are you referring the login screen which is typically blue? If it's the latter you might give this a try:
Clearing Caches to Fix Login Problem
You will need to type some Unix commands. If you are not comfortable with this, I don't know of anything other than a re-install. But if you are careful, you should be OK. I recommend you print this out in a largish mono-spaced font so you don't miss any spaces (or add extra ones). Note that case is important.
Be careful. Some of these commands are dangerous, since you are going to be root.
Start up in Single-user Mode. When this has finished you will see a prompt ending in '#', although there may be other messages. Enter the following commands after the prompt:
/sbin/fsck -fy
Press RETURN. Wait a few seconds for 8-10 lines of output. If the last line says repairs were carried out, repeat this command until you get a message 'The volume <yourdiskname> appears to be OK'. Then continue with:
/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /Library/Preferences
rm com.apple.loginwindow.plist
rm com.apple.windowserver.plist
cd /Library/Caches
rm -r *
cd /System/Library
cd /System/Library/Caches
rm -r *
reboot
Press RETURN after each command.
This should now take you to a proper login screen after the normal boot sequence. You should then Repair Permissions by using Disk Utility (in your /Applications/Utilities folder).
If it's the former then reinstall OS X. For Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

Exchange 2010 - The certificate status could not be determined because the revocation check failed.

I have tried everything I have found online to get my DigiCert to work.
I have exported the cert and imported it into my child domains and they look perfect.
It is just my parent domain having issues.
netsh winhttp show proxy
does show my correct proxy server for http and https and port 8080
I have tried name, FQDN and IP address.
In the Bypass-list I have tried none, *.domain.com, and a list of all domains and child domains in my forest.
I have flushed the cache
certutil -urlcache crl delete
certutil -urlcache ocsp delete
and rebooted the Exchange 2010 (Windows 2008 R2) server
No matter what, I still see in my Server Configuration for the parent domain's DigiCert cert the message
The certificate status could not be determined because the revocation check failed.
with a red X on the left hand icon. Again, Child domains all say "The certificate is valid for Exchange Server usage."
Note: In spite of having the red X, I was able to assign via EMS the services.
Webmail works fine. Outlook Anywhere fails... I suspect it is due to my red X problem.
Suggestions?
Thanks in Advance
Jim.

I have contacted DigiCert and they said the cert is working per their utility, hence the problem is outside the scope of their support.
I have followed, several times, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979694
http://www.digicert.com/help/ reports all is well.
The DigiCertUtil.exe reports all is well and happy.
I have run
netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="http=myproxy:8080;https=myproxy:8080" bypass-list="*.mydomain.com"
Current WinHTTP proxy settings:
Proxy Server(s) : http=myproxy:8080;https=myproxy:8080
Bypass List : *.mydomain.com
I have flushed the cache using the commands
certutil -urlcache crl delete
certutil -urlcache ocsp delete
I still see in my Server Configuration for the parent domain's DigiCert cert the message
"The certificate status could not be determined because the revocation check failed."
with a red X on the left hand certificate icon.
To verify the cert via command line:
certutil -verify -urlfetch c:\mail_domain_com.cer
LoadCert(Cert) returned ASN1 bad tag value met. 0x8009310b (ASN: 267)
CertUtil: -verify command FAILED: 0x8009310b (ASN: 267)
CertUtil: ASN1 bad tag value met.
I suspect this is why I cannot get Outlook Anywhere to connect.
Child domains show a happy certificate icon. Parent domain does not.
Still scratching my head.
Thanks all!
Jim.

Why has the Google Toolbar and PageRank Tool disappeared with the newest version of Firefox. How do I restore the PageRank Indicator tool?

I downloaded the newest version of Firefox and now the Google Toolbar is not working the same. Most importantly the PageRank indicator is not present. I've tried re-installing the Google Toolbar, and I've made sure the PageRank tool is activated. But with the new version the PageRank tool does not appear anywhere. Also, my other add-on Toolbar, LastPass has disappeared well.

I installed the latest addon from here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/seo-status-pagerankalexa-toolb/
When I restarted Firefox 5.0 I then enabled the FILE, EDIT VIEW HISTORY etc bar. If you then then right click your mouse right next the the HELP button it brings up which tabs and toolbars you have enabled. Click on Customise. then find the SEO TOOLBAR in the list, and left mouse click on it and dont let go of the mouse click, drag it up to your customised toolbar area.
You will then see the SEO TOOLBAR icon in your customised toolbar. Click on this, and it will put the PAGERANK and ALEXA bars at the bottom right cornet of your firefox browsing window. Not sure if youll need to click that every time to get those 2 bars down there but at least this version works with Firefox 5.0
Best of luck!

My iPad 4 does not show up on my TV screen when in AirPlay mirroring mode using WiFi. The iPad displays AirPlay set to TV with the Mirroring On (green).
My iPad IOS software is 8.2 and my Apple TV software is at 7.1. The TV displays the Apple Menu. The “Settings” does however displays the General menu allowing me to see:
Apple software: 7.1 (7003)
Apple TV: Model No. A1464, Part No. MD199B/A
Signal Strength shows 5 circles.
It does not display the iPad screen but when I use the BT Sport App I can hear the sound but there is no video. I have searched the internet for a solution to no avail. The problem first arose when the IOS was at 8.1+ but it worked correctly briefly when I updated to IOS 8.2. Can you help please?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

I recently updated my primary email address associated with my Apple ID account.
Now when I go to App store on my iPad it still tries to login to the App store using the old email address I had associated with the account, and naturally my password doesn't work. I can't figure out how to tell my iPad to login using the updated email address.
So in effect I'm locked out of the app store and I currently have 26 updates waiting.
I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my IPad to iCloud with no luck.. However I cloud happens to show the correct/updated email address.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks

Did you change the email for the Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? A new Apple ID cannot be used with content that was bought using a different Apple ID.

My icloud activation lock is on my iphone, which requires an activation login to access the homescreen, but when i log in with the apple ID on the phone, it says the apple ID is not meant to unclock this iphone 5 ios 8.0.2. please help me solve this.

Yes the phone belongs to me. It was purchased from United Kingdom Vodafone to West Africa, i had to factory unlock to use any sim in it. so it belongs to me. I did the activation myself, now after updating my iphone to the latest update, it required a user id and password to activate the phone, but anytime i enter the details, it tells me the user Id is not correct but the password is correct..

Terrance Devlin answered a question about iPhoto (4-2012) re:copying iPhoto Library to an ExHD, and losing all the albums. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button. Can anyone help?

I tried to move my images (over 25,000) to an External Hard drive to open up some memory, hoping to make my computer run faster. It took three hours to move the images and I see them all in the mac's menus. However when I try to open them with iPhoto now, none appeared. and when I tried to import them back to the main HD they come in to iPhoto just fine, but not with the albums nor any of the massive organization i'd created in the original. this represents years of images, and I can't imagine that I'd have to recopy them into folders/albums again.
Terrance Devlin answered a similar question back in April of last year. He said to make sure the ExHD is formatted to MAC OS Extended (Journaled) and to move the library to the ExHD and then open iPhoto with the option button and select "Choose Library" from the resulting menu.
Command "I" tells me that the new drive is formatted correctly. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button.
First, I wondered if the application needs to be on the same drive as the Library. I sure would like to know if I can find out how to restore all the folders I had them in. Terrance's advice helped the user that had asked the question.
Here's the url for that archived discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3849933?start=0&tstart=0
Can anyone help? I'm using iPhoto 5. My MAC is an OS X version 10.4.11.
thanks, brokenlom

Here are Apple's instructions:
If you are using iPhoto ’06 or earlier, you will need to follow these steps to tell iPhoto where the Library is now located:
Hold down the Option key on the keyboard and open iPhoto. Keep the Option key held down until you are prompted to create or choose an iPhoto Library.
Click Choose Library.
Locate and select the iPhoto Library in its new location.
(from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229 )
Below (in the link below) is what you should see when holding down the option key and opening iPhoto. Keep holding down the option key until this dialogue comes up. You want to select the Choose Library button.
