Adobe Reader new downloads keep popping up.  What is it and do I have to pay for it and how can it h

Hi all............I was reading my sat nav cd on my computer and 'adobe Reader new downloads' keeps popping up. When I asked a friend do I need this they just say 'no' but I am curious and like to learn. What is 'Adobe' Reader OR 'Acrobat'. You see I'm trying to learn how to use the mp3 plaver on my sat nav and download updates for it but there's never anything to say 'how much' or 'free' and there is so much to read. Anyway does anyone know if these downloads are free? and what do they do? All help welcome as I don't understand at all what it is? Oh and thanks in advance :)

Can we go back about the new downloads thing... what is the message
(exact text please) and when does it come up? If it takes you to a
web site, what is the web address (you can copy and paste this from
the browser). I am worried that this may be more sinister than it
seems.

  • Screen Message"File iTines Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes" What is this and how can it be fixed?

    Screen Message on P.C. "File "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
    What is this and how can it be fixed, please?

    Problem solved by doing the following:
    Open PC/Mac and search for iTunes Library.
    From the list, select the most recent version of iTunes Library. Save this to a folder.
    Delete iTunes from your computer.
    Install latest version of iTunes.
    When I opened the new version of iTunes, everything was there as before.
    I didn't need to import the saved version of iTunes Library. Maybe this happens automatically?????

    The display resolution allows a user to set according to pixels I think, eg 3200 x 1800. So which setting is considered normal? It does not have a "normal field.
    You are right.
    Before HiDpi displays became available three years ago, you could find advice about what was the good resolution for displays, depending on their size in in/cm and viewing distance.
    - For relatively big displays (22" to 30") a pixel resolution of 1920 x 1200 or 1920 x 1080 was considered optimal.
    - For big laptops or small desktop, 1680 x 1050 or 1640 x 900 were good.
    In Windows, you could set the size of fonts to full resolution or 25% or 50% bigger... if the software supports this feature, which was not the case with Photoshop, Elements... The size of the fonts was deternined and fixed in the software itself, with no way to scale the fonts. The solution needed Microsoft to provide developpers with new programming interfaces and the solution for developpers was to rewrite a substantial part of the code.
    Anyway, to enable good viewing of characters on common 12 or 13" HiDpi displays, you need to use the fonts at 200%.
    And that makes sense. To see the same characters on a 12" display the same as on a 24", they must be twice the size... good rule of thumbs.

    You're not obligated to insert a gift code. But you can purchase gift codes on the Apple online store (gift cards or certificates) or Apple Retail store
    Gift codes are pre paid cards so you can use credit on the iTunes Store to purchase content

  • Can't talk to other apple products outside of wifi or when I don't have data. What's wrong and how can I fix it ?

    So I just bought a new iPhone 4S and I have to share my data with four other people so to avoid using it up I use wifi whenever possible. I use iMessage to talk to iPhones but when I'm not around wifi or when I don't have any more data, I don't receive any of their regular SMS messages but I can send them. I checked my friend's iPhone and he receives my message as an SMS but when he replied it was still in iMessage. Is it not detecting that my iMessage is off ?What's wrong and
    how can I fix it ?

    I think I fixed the apps, though.
    *Turn off your wifi and only turn it on when you want to use it
    *Lower your brightness
    *Turn off "Push" on notifications and mail and turn on "Manual"
    *Return to your home screen and then double click twice and tap and hold one of the apps you've previously opened, when they jiggle tap the red on each app until fully erased.
    *Don't use your ipod while it is charging, allow at least a 10 minute charge (fully charged) before using it again.
    See if this helps(: ... I still have no answer bout the camera issue. I might be going to apple soon so we will see then.
