Why must I have Internet access and be logged into Adobe to use Photoshop Elements?

I can not use Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 unless I have Internet access and log into an Adobe account. Why? This means you can't install the software on a laptop and use it while traveling unless you have 100% Internet access throughout your trip. What a load of ....... Why is this? I there a way around it?
Any advice appreciated.

Thanks Barbara. I tested it (trust but verify ) and that is the case. I must have been logging out, and thus deactivating, in my earlier testing. I agree, bad choice of words or phrasing by Adobe. Thanks again.

Do I have to be a member of creative cloud to use photoshop elements 12 as I only want a once off payment not ongoing membership fees?

Elements is not part of creative cloud, never has been. PSE 12 does require you to create an adobe ID as part of installing it, but you don't have to have an internet connection after the first time you run it. You must stay signed in though. In PSE 12, sign in is activate, and if you sign out you deactivate your copy.

New (last night) 4s. at home everything works but at the office, I can't seem to send or receive emails. Don't know about texts yet. I manually connected to my company's wi-fi network, have internet access and a good signal. The phone function works

Just set up my 4s last night - works fine at home but can't get or send email at the office. Wi-fi connection working and signal is good and telephone and Internet functions working. Manually set to my company's wi-fi.

Your company has most likely blocked the ports necessary to connect to mail servers outside the corporate network. Shut off WiFi and see if it works. If it does, you'll need to talk to your IT department about it.
Odds are they are not going to change the policy without a valid business reason to do so.

When I open fire fox and try to go into another web site, it tells me that it was unable to connect. I have internet connection and can get into safari because I have a macbook but also need to use firefox. Please help.

I have a macbook laptop. When I go to open firefox it opens but when I try to get into a website such as www.yahoo or any other, a menu pops up and says it is unable to connect to the server check your internet connection or if u have fire wall check to see if it is set for firefox to connect. I have never had this problem before. All of a sudden it does not want to work and I need firefox to work.

Hey, Buzz.

I hope that helps.

Mac won't update software or access iTunes shop. Message comes up with 'not connected to the net. Check connections' error. I still have internet access. Changed my Apple ID but no result. Repaired permissions and re-installed operating system.

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Unable to receive internet connection over wifi connection. Shows that I am connected to the network, but do not have internet access. Checked my firewall and turned it off. What else am I missing or should be doing differently?

You might want to try resetting your router and your modem - just unplug the cords, leave them unplugged for about 3-5 minutes and then replug the modem and then the router in that order.
This may or may not correct your problem - call back if it doesn't.

Where are you trying to log in to something - is there a URL? Describe the steps you are taking and what happens.

Why I cannot purchase or update apps for my new iPad all of a sudden? I have internet access.

When I tried to update apps they are stuck with "waiting..." and I cannot access those apps anymore. I have Internet access all this time.
What is going wrong, will I lose data for the apps.
Thanks for any help or insights.

Restart the iPad (hold the Home and Sleep buttons until the Apple logo appears.
This sometimes happens if the download of the updates gets interrupted.
If that doesn't work, downalod the updates via iTunes, and sync the iPad to iTunes.
In either case, you don't lose the app data

TS1398 As a truck driver, I don't have internet access, my cell phone doesn't support Apple yet either,,, How can i gain internet access on the road if I'm rolling and not in a stationary place for wifi?

I recently purchased an i pad and have the internet at home, I am also a truck driver and once i leave home, I won't have the internet unless I stop close to where there is wifi, is there anything out there that I can purchase so I will have the internet at all times

I purchased a Verizon MIFI 2200 mobile hotspot with my forst generation iPad almost tow years ago so that I could have internet access with my WiFi only iPad and my iPod Touch. All in all it is pretty reliable but as varjak paw stated above...
"Either of course will be dependening on your being in a location where the carrier provides cell coverage".
Like my cell phone - there are locations where the MIFI doesn't play nice with the cellular networks and it may struggle to find a good signal. On the other hand, sometimes my connection zips along quite nicely. Just keep that in mind - if and when you decide to purchase a mobile hotspot.

As a stockholder, I would like see the development of iTV with Retina display and integrating Siri control, internet access, and iTunes apps. This new product would be a large screen, thin wall mounted television, much like a oversided iPad.

Do you think this product is possible?

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

Can anyone tell me how I keep everything I had in my old photoshop, now I've updated to Photoshop CC 2014. It did give me the option to transport over all my presets, but because I didn't have internet access at the time, it couldn't do it. Now I'm not getting the option. Please help.

Migrating Presets does not require a network connection and you can still migrate your cc presets if you still have CC installed. Use Photoshop menu Edit>Presets>Migrate Presets... Migrating presets only migrates presets. It does not migrate Plugins, settings, extensions and scripts. CC 2014 is also not completely backwards compatible with CC. Support for Flash Panels and Oil Painter filter have been removed. So extensions like mini bridge no longer work in CC 2014

For OS X: Whenever I have internet access my disk is running continuously for a period of time without any activity on my part. When I close internet access the disk activity stops. Who is fishing for data?

Thanks for your reply. I don't use itunes so that couldn't be it. Reading about Little Snitch and Hands Off, however, educated me about the data harvesting in many apps and that when buying from the AppStore one will more likely get Apps with benign data harvesting.

LOVE Firefox! I have just launched a website. One designer told me it takes 7-10 days for any changes to appear. Why? I have cleared caches and cookies etc. I need to be more responsive than 7-1o days. I need changes to appear within 24hrs.

Hello binbingogoABC,
Shopping on BestBuy.com should be easy and fun and not fraught with the kind of trouble that you describe. I regret very much that this has been your experience.
Using the information you provided when you signed up for Best Buy Unboxed I was able to locate your cancelled orders. I have requested more information from my back-office partners. As soon as I have additional details about your situation, I will reply again to this message. In the interim, I'm sorry that I must impose upon your patience.
I'm very grateful that you wrote to us with your concerns.
Sincerely,

I have Internet access, but don't have an ability to watch videos on our new iPad2. We are in a hotel, could it be their service or firewall issue?

If you are unable to view content that has already been downloaded then you problem is within you device. First shut it down all the way by holiding the sleep button at the top until the power off slide appears at the top of your screen. Then slide that and wait while it powers off. Give it a good 30 seconds to do this. then power it back up. if that doesn't work, you may need to call the apple care folks. One other option is to restore it to factory settings and reload it with the updates first and then sink your media to it. You should already have it backed up to iCloud, but if not, do that first then do the restore.
