Won't open without internet

I am a registered owner of Photoshop CS6—the full free-standing version. I was recently traveling in Europe and was restricted to a satellite internet connection. Although fully installed on my computer, I was unable to open Photoshop. The reason given was that I “needed an internet connection.” Because of this, I was unable to use Photoshop during my trip.
I don’t understand why a program that is fully-loaded and licensed on my machine would need to get an “OK” from Adobe to open when I need it. I understand if I had the cloud version, but I don’t.
How do I avoid this problem in the future?

CS6 need to be activated to work. Once activated it does not need an internet connection however activation need an internet connection or a special offline activation.

My daughter downloaded the new safari update on her iMac and now it won't open without new os update

Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
The version is noted there.

Have Mac OS X 10.4.11; bought Quickbooks and it requires 10.6; updated to 10.6 but can't install because it won't open without 10.5

Have 10.4.11; bought Quickbooks and it wants 10.6; upgraded to 10.6 but can't install because it won't open without 10.5. Don't see upgrade for 10.5 in download list.

Hi Loraine,
Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) was between Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). If your Quickbooks program indicates it requires Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and you've installed that, then you've done what you can (you can't install 10.5 when you already have 10.6 installed...you are already more up to date).
It sounds like you are having an issue with the Quickbooks program so you may wish to contact those that make / support that application.
Cheers.

Boris 3D text editing window won't open without deleting FCP preferences

So, in my FCP7 projects, the Boris 3D text editing window won't open without deleting FCP preferences first. I've tried new projects, old projects, open all new windows on top settings. Once I delete the preferences, viola, opens right up. I can rebuild my preferences and after just a few days it won't open again... without preference delete.
I'm on a Macbook Pro 17'" i7 and do most of my editing on a 27" Apple Cinema Display. This is the only reason I could come up with. However I did some editing from the Macbook's screen and after 1 day, the Boris 3D editing window again refused to open. I have no idea. Is this is a known bug, etc.?
Help!

With Final Cut not running, trash the Boris Title 3D preference file.
/Library/Preferences/Title 3D Preferences
Also, you could have a corrupt or duplicate font file. Open FontBook and check it out.

Safari won't open without restart after installing Yosemite

After I installed Yosemite, safari won't open from sleep mode without me restarting my computer. Should I or can I uninstall Yosemite and reinstall or is there another fix? Thank You for any help.

Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved. Make sure the box marked
          Remember networks this computer has joined
is checked.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading
          Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
3. Reset the PRAM.
4. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
5. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
6. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
7. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
8. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
9. Reset the System Management Controller.
10. This step shouldn't be necessary, but has been advised by Apple Support in some cases, apparently as a workaround for a bug. Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences. If applicable, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner to unlock the settings. Enter your administrator login password when prompted.
Select the Power Adapter tab and uncheck the boxes marked
          Wake for Wi-Fi network access
and
          Enable Power Nap...
if present. Then, if the computer is a MacBook, select the Battery tab and uncheck
          Enable Power Nap...
11. Reinstall OS X.

Had to reinstall Software and Safari window won't open for internet

I am running 10.3.9 and screwed up my computer royally yesterday by apparently deleting important files. I reinstalled the software but the only browser that will connect to the internet or even bring up a window is firefox. My Safari will open but now browser window will show up. Netscape won't either. Internet Explorer will open but not connect.
I cannot upgrade any higher because it's an old G4 with only about 20GB of original space with only about 2.7GB left available.

Hello,
I am running 10.3.9 and screwed up my computer royally yesterday by apparently deleting important files. I reinstalled the software...
Can you recall what software it was that you deleted and reinstalled?
One quick test you can do to help narrow down things is to try Safari in another user account. This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> \[+\] to create a test one (and \[-\] to remove it if needed)

Updated iTunes--won't open without agreeing to Ping

Just updated iTunes and tried to open it. Got a message saying I had signed up for Ping, and I hadn't. Not interested in Ping, declined agreement but iTunes won't open to let me proceed without Ping. Why can't I just decline and proceed without it? All topics are about getting rid of it after accepting. Am I able to avoid it in the first place?
Thanks!

okay, it's plausible that you've got two different problems going on at once here.
underlying it might be a version of a drive letter confusion:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
(see also the link to the MS KB doc)
... which is working so that either your My Music folder has either accidentally made its way on to the ipod, or that it's only being seen when the ipod is plugged in.
when it's not being seen, you get the problem described in this document:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
... is there any particular reason why you have to have your "My Music" folder on your F drive, rather than your C drive?

Labwiew 8 won't start without internet connection

I have Labview 8.0 installed on a NI PXI-1050 chasis with Windows XP and Service Pack 2 installed. The problem is that Labview will not load up (it locks up at finishing initialization) if I do not have the chasis connected to the internet via ethernet connection. When I connect to the internet and reboot the computer, Labview is able to start fine. The chasis is installed in a mobile vechicle and cannot always be connected to the internet. I've read that Labview 8 needs to connect to the internet to make sure the copy it is running is legitimate? Is this copy protection messing me up? Is there a way to run Labview 8 without internet connection?
Thanks.

Where did you read this? There's an initial activation that you do when you first install LabVIEW. but there's no "phone home" each time you launch LabVIEW. I can start up LabVIEW without an internet connection.
More than likely what's causing it are services that run and/or MAX. Software firewalls installed on a computer can block this communication even it's happening on a loopback, but you said that the problem goes away once you connect to the internet, so it's likely not a firewall issue. Is the PXI chassis normally connected directly to the internet through a modem, or is it connected to a router (when it's connected)? Are you using a static IP address on your PXI chassis?

InDesign CC won't open without Plug-ins? Please help.

Downloaded InDesign CC on a Mac OSX. Worked in it perfectly for a day. Next day InDesign won't open. Says I need a bunch of plug-ins it can't find: AppUI, LinksUI and several more.
Deleted InDesign, restarted, tried to re-download it again, now I can't even download it!
Where do I get these? What do I do?
Thank you!

Hi Peter, Thank you for the suggestion. I just tried in Chrome and Firefox and got the same results: "Download error: please try again, or contact customer support."
(I do have Adobe Application Manager running).
Everything worked fine yesterday. But not today. And nothing changed between yesterday and today.
Any other ideas?

ITunes Won't Open Without iPod Connected To Computer

Up until a day or so ago, I was able to open iTunes without the iPod attached. Now when I try to do so, it says the iTunes folder cannot be found or created and that the default location is in the "My Music" folder. When I then attach the iPod to the computer, everything works great. With the iPod attached and iTunes open, I changed the iTune preferences to reflect my actual music folder location (F:\My Music), but I still cannot get it to open without the iPod attached.

Web photo gallery won't open on internet... why?

I hope someone can help me with this.
I always made slideshows with Photoshop until I got Elements. The newest version of Photoshop does not have that option anymore.
I made a web photo gallery with elements, put it up in Dreamweaver, made a link, tested it on three browsers and it all worked perfectly.
I then uploaded it all to a server.
When I go to the page on internet, the link takes me to the index of the photo gallery but the slideshow does not open. It seems like the index file does not open the resource folder.
I have compared the site on my computer with the site on the server and everything is exactly the same. The photo gallery is on th server with the index file and resource folder.
I can't understand why the photo gallery doesn't behave on internet like it does on my computer.
Can anyone explain this to me?
I really like the way the new photo gallery looks compared with the slideshow made with my older version of Photoshop and would like to use it. Plus the fact that I can control the speed of the slideshow on Elements is a real boon.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.
I will try to be as explicate as possible.
This is a site that I maintain for a marathon. This is the 10th year. The participants contribute a series of photos that I have always made into slide shows.
I have a page that references slideshows from 2009 for example. I made these photos into slideshows using Photoshop CS3. The different folders are called "Slideshow xxx" with the corresponding index file. When I link to the index file in a certain folder the slideshow opens in a blank page and wonderful.
Now, this year, I have done the same thing using Element with the results I mention in my origiinal message: the photo gallery does not open in any browser in spite of being linked to the index file in the web photo gallery I created with Element.
What happens when I go to the index file is simply nothing. I do not get an error message.
You can see for yourself by going to
http://www.el-ocejon.com/fotos%202010.html
and clicking on either of the two last options (the first links to a picasa page that is not a problem).
The solution is simple: create a slideshow using Photoshop CS3 and forget the whole thing. But I would like to know what the problem is here and why I cannot get the photo gallery created with Elements to work on the internet.
Or is this a "two steps forward and one step back" issue with Photoshop?

ITunes won't open without ipod attached

I recently updated iTunes to 7.0.1. If I attempt to open iTunes without having my iPod attached it opens but before I can do any thing it is forced closed. A dialogue box pops up informing me that iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to be closed, I'm given the option to report the problem to Microsoft and close or just close. is anyone else encountering this?

Reader 9.0 won't open on internet

When I open a Reader document on the internet the file appears and then I get a pop-up that says that I must purchase Reader 8.0 Pro to view the file. When I visit the same website from one of my other computers it works fine. Any suggesting on what I am missing.

I had the exact same problem and I noticed that the same thing started happening with other programs along with adobe reader. What i discovered was that at least in my case, the issue was that Adobe Reader uses the temp folder on your computer. Mine happened to grow to about 35 gigs and because of that whenever a program tried to write anything to the temp folder, it would hang forever. Once i cleared my temp folder everything started working properly again for all programs including adobe reader.
the way i did this was from
My Computer -> Right click properties -> Click Disk Cleanup.
It will scan for all places that it will need to do disk cleanup on. Mine took a good 20 minutes because of the temp folder. Afterwards, look through the list of items that it scanned and make sure you select the temp folder option. Along with this you can probably clear out any other folders that are taking up a lot of memory. Clear these folders and try running Adobe Reader again. The process of clearing may take a very long time if your temp folder happens to be really large. But it was well worth it for me because everything started running quickly again. Anyways hope this helps for you as well.
