XP - How to install SP1 without an internet connection?
A friend has an old Dell laptop and we put in place for its use online. We got him a Virgin Mobile USB modem. It cannot be installed because there is no service pack in Windows XP Professional. We are unable to access the Internet for updates, I saved the on a flash drive, but they will not install because it says to download.
It is a double wammy and I don't know what to do. Can anyone suggest a solution? Help, please.
Thank you
SP1 for Windows XP is more around, go straight for SP2.

Are you ready for WinXP SP2?

Once you get that, you should be able to set up for the internet, and then run windows update to see what it takes to SP3 etc.
Good luck.

How to use Photoshop without an internet connection
I need to use Photoshop, but due to problems of security of the program is not allowed to connect to the Internet. What are the versions that I can use and how to get them? 99 days/30 days is not the solution (with CC).
You can always download CS6 on another computer and transfer to your safe to install computer. You must activate it if.
Does that help?
Successfully Setup & activation CS6 (not creative cloud) behind an authenticating Proxy Server
Without knowing more details, we can only guess. Also I'm not sure if it is possible to use CC without ever connecting to the Internet.

What you want to do with the ATV without an Internet connection? It is designed as a device of Internet broadcast, so you can access online content via the big screen in the living room rather than the pocket computer in your pocket...
technically I think its possible but you would still need an Internet connection for the installation and update of the software process and even less to download applications and games, but if you don't have an Internet connection apps/games will probably not work. I don't think that there is 'out of play'...

Can I buy, install and run Illustrator on a new iMac without any internet connection?
Is it possible to buy, install and run Illustrator on a new iMac without any internet connection?
I used Illustrator since 1989 and am currently using CC2014 to work. Don't laugh now, live us simply at home and don't want or not have internet there.
I want to buy a new iMac for home, but do not have access to Illustrator and other software, because we have no internet, what is the point of having a new iMac?
tpmaree,
I'm scared of all the versions of CS3 on will sometimes require internet connection: upon activation of the installation/initial at intervals always then.

Hi all
How can I get my file of folio CS6 (digital magazine) to my iPad without an internet connection? I'll be in a place without internet connection and have yet to get my folio of the files from my laptop to my iPad to share with my clients. I looked everywhere but can't seem to find how to do this.
Thank you!
Depends on what you mean by part. If you want to put your folio on ipad of your customer, so they can listen to samples, everything they do is jack their iPad to your computer, launch content adobe Viewer and click Preview on the device in the folio generator Panel. This will push your folio on their ipad. Then, they can view content.
If by hand, you mean... give physical files for you customers so that they can do (honestly I don't know what they would do with one file other than view folio it on the device), there is no way to do it.

Photoshop CC was supposed to be able to use without an internet connection if I worked online at least once a month...
I tried to work offline at home after working online for a while. The sign came and wrote
«No Internet connection / - and the options have been - try again or continue offline "and I could not work no prob. by choosing «continue in offline mode»
However, I've used photoshop for a few hours yesterday and I brought my laptop home from my photographer friend to share the work of editing... and I couldn't open Photoshop.
"The network is not connected TRYagain.
It was the only option, does not allow me to continue offline...
You have an idea why I couldn't?
An Internet connection is required the first time you install and your creative Cloud of license applications.
You can use the applications in offline mode, but must be online from time to time to validate your software licenses. Please see this link for more details: CC help | Creative cloud / Common Questions

Is there a way I can share files between users on the same Mac without an internet connection?
Hello world!
Quick question here: is there a way I can share files between users on the same Mac without an internet connection?
I have two users say that A and B. If I go the long way via the 'Go' menu > 'Computer', I ended up being told to contact my computer or the network administrator for assistance. Both users are admin one and file sharing is allowed in system preferences... I have to admit that I use 10.9.5 because my MacBook Pro would not work with OS Xs national parks.
Any ideas would be cool because I'm sure that it used to work fine with "Snow Leopard" without being connected to the internet - or should I just send an email to myself and recover the files on the other user :-) to recover my USB is
Choose go to folder from the Finder Go menu, provide/Users/Shared/as the path and place the files.
