I bought the DC of Adobe Acrobat pro and completed the info online, but when I use the cd with the product code key it will not take the code? What do I do then?
Thanks Anubha Goel, final I got it to work... The serial number in the physical box that you buy in the store wasn't the number for the software. It was the serial number in the cloud, very difficult to know when you see a serial number in the box with the Cd online. But thanks for the reply to my post.

How and when the computer turns off automatically?
Listen to internet radio, Sys Pref > saving energy on the default setting, wake up and radio program cut.
This is great... .buth how and when the computer turns off? When I reopen it wifi comes back, I'm correct when she stops she also turns off wifi?
Hello allan299,
Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.
According to your post, I see that you have any questions on how and when your computer shuts down, and how the WiFi on your Mac is affected. I know it's nice to be able to properly manage what happens when your computer stops and starts in mode 'sleep'. I'm happy to help you find the best resolution.
You're right, when your computer stops completely it will turn the Wi - Fi. If you enable the wake for network access, Wi - Fi remains lit, and you can access shared resources on your computer, such as printers or iTunes shared playlists even when your computer is in "sleep". Definition of a calendar closing and start on your Mac can also be useful.
Check out the following resources that will help the set options that control the energy use of your computer, sleep, and wake-up times for your Mac and the calendar from your Mac to turn on or turn off or go to sleep:
OS X Yosemite: energy saver Preferences
OS X Yosemite: set sleep and wake up on time for your Mac
OS X Yosemite: A schedule for your Mac to turn on or turn off or go to sleep
Best regards.

computer restored IBM won't let me go beyond the introduction of identy... closes and restarts the computer to the same: Enter name and ID... then again, it does the same thing. How can I save this monster?
Hello
First, disconnect all the external devices connected to the computer, and then try to start and check what is happening. If the same happens, then you can try to start in safe mode and check if you are able to boot to the desktop. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic as possible cause device drivers. To start in safe mode follow the link.

Vista goes to 50% CPU usage and connects the computer for hours after the beginning
Original title: Vista processor
Stupid Vista goes to 50% CPU usage and connects the computer for hours after the start. Cannot run anything with any request of CPU without getting bogged down and crashing. It is not windows defender, I suspend this service and the machine is ok for another 1/2 hour, them I'm up to 50% of the CPU. The idle process said Task Manager is > 90%, still indicates 50% CPU usage and the cooling fan looks like a 747 taking off. Should I just pull the machine and go for Linux, or what? Cannot run games or whatever it is, totally disgusted with vista of POS and microsoft can it Deep and do not get windows 7, it is probably worse. Is that all I can turn off to get the same performance than, say, windows 3.1? It would be preferable to the current situation. MSCKMA.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:
This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:
-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.htmlFor drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

Windows Media Player opens when I type any key. This started 2 days ago and did the computer virtually unusable. The mouse is however immune to this phenomenon, so I can still use it.
No idea how to solve this problem?
Ideas:
- You have problems with programs
- Error messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem
Do a system restore. Choose at least 3 days ago when you did not have this problem as your restore point.
Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, until the click > next > finish
To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.
