Latest Acrobat X Update Killed Com1

The latest Acrobat X update killed my Com1 port. Yes, I still use Com1 to communicate with my ham radio. So if any Adobe guy is reading the discussions in this form, please fix this bug. BTW, why do I have to call tech support, why can't I send you guys an e-mail.

Found Text No Longer Highlighted after Latest Acrobat 9 Update

Since installing the latest Acrobat update (to version 9.4.5) whenever I do Edit, Find or Ctrl+F and search for text Acrobat goes to the page with the text I'm looking for, but the text is no longer highlighted with blue highlighting. Since there's nothing about this in the help, I guess the problem may be local to my computer. Can you suggest how I can get the highlighting back (without upgrading to Acrobat X)?
Has anyone else seen this problem?
Should I do a reinstall? If I do a reinstall, are there any special issues?
Thanks for your help.

I seem to be getting prompts to update Adobe all the time, but nothing seems to be new-same version number.
Thanks HKA, I did not know about the "super" search, which looks like a great thing.

Acrobat X Update "killed" Acrobat 9

Our prepress department uses Acrobat 9 Pro with the Pitstop plug-in to process files. A co-worker working in Windows noticed that he had an update available -- for Acrobat X -- so he went ahead and let it update. (I'll note here that we are in the habit of having multiple versions available, so he assumed he could still use the Acrobat 9 workhorse as needed.)
He's not happy with X's user interface (and his Pitstop plug-in lives in version 9), so he tried opening files back in version 9. Now suddenly he finds that he cannot run Acrobat 9 at all. Even if he selects it directly. PDFs now open exclusively in version X.
Is there an "uninstaller" for Acrobat X, and if he runs it, will it break anything else? Will he have to reinstall Acrobat 9 and Pitstop?

I zip back and forth between versions, so it can be done with a bit of patience and luck. What you have to give up the idea of is that double-click-to-open is any use to you any more. You need to use File > Open or similar.
Try
1. Reboot
2. Use task manager to make sure no Acrobat.exe is running
3. Try starting Acrobat 9.
4. Still starts X? Kill it, repeat step 2, and navigate to the acrobat.exe file for v9 and run that.
5. Still starts X? Right click, properties, check version. Maybe someone/something actually overwrote the app.
But always remember once you have it working that it is "unsupported" and what that really means. (It is NOT a statement that it never works.)

Latest Leopard Security Update Kills Photoshop 7?

Yesterday installed the latest security update on iBook G4. Today Photoshop 7.0 won't open, giving an error message that reads, +An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. Photoshop will now exit+.
Coincidence? It never happened before the update installation. Reinstalled Photoshop...same result. Any ideas anyone? TIA

Apparently, there is a fundamental Leopard/Photoshop conflict, up to and including Photoshop CS2. Here's a thread at Adobe's site:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/[email protected]@
This is not a happy situation, and had I known, I would not have gone to Leopard. A message on the above thread indicates Adobe is aware of the problem, but no fixes are imminent.

Acrobat Security Updates kill Distiller Watched Folders and Font Locations

We are finding that the usual security and other updates for
Acrobat Professional Version 7 and above are causing the Distiller
to lose specific custom settings in Watched Folders and Font
Locations. Does anyone else encounter these problems? If so, does
Adobe know about this? It's quite inconvenient, especially if you
have set up custom Distiller profiles for 50 plus machines.

Hello JohnyBGud!
Thanks for your post, and for your feedback.
Your post is appreciated, but unfortunately not in the proper
place for the right people to listen!
I am not sure if the Acrobat team is aware of this, but would
suggest you place this post somewhere in the Acrobat forums, so
that the Acrobat team can view it.
These forums are specific to the
Acrobat.com website and its set of hosted services, and do
not cover the Acrobat family of desktop products.

Thanks!

Latest snow leopard update kills my browsers

Snow Leopard was running great until I downloaded the most recent update. Now Safari sometimes won't download pages (I get the ..can't connect.. message) unless I repeatedly reload. Then I may get a page with what looks like CSS code. Firefox does the same. I reinstalled the original OS disk but the problem is still there.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
For Safari...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Since you are running Snow Leopard, *make sure Safari is opening in 32-bit mode, not 64*. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.
  Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
bpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
If nothing above has helped, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari.

Installed latest Acrobat Update to 8.2.1 and now I can't print PDFs

I recently installed the latest Acrobat update to go to Acrobat 8 Professional 8.2.1. Now I can no longer print PDFs. Also when I look at the list of printers it shows "AdobePDF (Copy1)" plus many more copies (see picture below). I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. How do I resolve this problem?

I was having the same issue. Supposedly, Acrobat 8 and Win 7 aren't compatible. I then tried the following steps and it seems to work.
1. Right click on the Acrobat 8 icon and scroll down and select properties.
2. A pop up box will appear. click on the compatibility tab.
3. Check the box in compatibility mode and select windows XP (Service Pack 3), then at the bottom of the box, click on the box next to Run this program as administrator.
4. Click apply then ok.
Let me know if this works for you. Good Luck!

Error message during Acrobat X update installation

I have been trying to install the latest update for Acrobat X and get the following error message: "Unable to modify file C:\Program\Files(x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe". I have successfully installed updates previously on this computer without any issues arising.

Are you logged in as the administrator? Do you have anti-virus disabled? Are you trying to update from inside Acrobat (Help>Updates) or by a manual update by download? What operating system are you on?

Itunes SPOD after latest OS-X Update

I recently installed the latest OS-X updates, and now when I launch iTunes, I get nothing but SPOD and have to kill the iTunes process. I have directly downloaded the latest iTunes application and reinstalled it, still SPOD on launch. I launched iTunes in Safe Mode, still SPOD. I moved the preferences file, still SPOD. I am totally out of ideas here. What else can I do or try to get iTunes to work?

I should add that there are no more pending OS-X updates; I just checked again to be certain.
Furthermore, potentially unrelated, my Internet connection was down for a few days, but has been restored for over 24 hours now. I have seen some iTunes weirdness on forums in relation to that, although I don't suspect that is my issue.
My issue is a lot like the "Upgrade to 10.6.5 + iTunes 10.1 = iTunes stupor" thread in that my iTunes won't see any of my devices either, but he doesn't seem to have the same pinwheel issue. My iTunes is chewing up 22% of the CPU just sitting there until I kill the process from command line.

I installed the latest Acrobat Reader (11) and every time I try to do a Save As, it crashes the entire Adobe program closing all files. I tried uninstalling and re-installing and it still crashes.

Hi Bryan ,
It happens when you save it as an Adobe PDF or a normal PDF?
Happens with all the files or any specific one?
What exact version of Acrobat are you using?
Try updating it to the latest one if it is an older one.
You may also want to uninstall and re install it to check.
Let us know how it goes.

Latest acrobat developer guide

Does anyone know where to get a copy of the latest Acrobat Developer Guide? I searched on the adobe site for a copy, but the copy I found on the site is for Acrobat 7 SDK dated from 2007. Is there no update on the developer guide in the past 7 years for SDK 8, 9, X and XI? I am using Acrobat Pro XI SDK to develop a batch PDF Compare plugin. Worried about the developer guideline I have for Acrobat 7 SDK will cause problems when the plugin is deployed on Acrobat Pro XI.

The Acrobat SDK is no longer structured that way. It is a very large collection of HTML files, with the developer guide a linked section of that. So you have it already in your SDK documentation.

Isit true to say that iPod Updater kills your iPod?

Hello all,
First, sorry for my poor English. I am not a professional nor a technician and I could be wrong, so please correct me. There are many problems reported mainly from the PC users that their iPod can't be recognized nor mounted after the installation of the latest iPod updater. Most of them claimed that the iPod updater kills their beloved iPods. Before we jump to a conclusion, we must understand what is iPod, and how does the iPod update work.
I believe that iPod equals a basic computer and need a OS in order to communicate with the PC. Installation the Updater will format the Hard disk of the iPod and then install the simple OS, so if we open the iPod updater file, it will show a window with two buttons i.e. Restore and Update, an Update is to copy the latest OS over the old version, but the Restore will format the hard disk before it install the OS over it. And importantly, during this process, the iPod needs sufficient of power to complete the upgrade, however, the problem comes just after the format, and the PC's USB (only 2 will work not 1.1) does not supply the stable power,even some cases that iPod does not get charge in the half way of installatin (a proper installation, you will see a running bar showing on the iPod screen just after the format), so you can imagine a hard disk got format but only got an uncompleted OS, of course, the iPod would not get recognized and mounted, and do not manage to communicate with the computer. At this stage the iPod will show a Sad iPod icon, a folder with exclamaiton points or a battery charging icon.
So, what would you do when it reach at this stage, a Reset would not work, and you would not able to do the Restore as the iPod is totally unrecognized by the computer.
Therefore, is there anyway to solve this problem, in my opinion and from my past experience, the answer is "yes", the simple way is to put your iPod in Disk Mode, when it plug to the computer, it will show as an external Hard Disk, you must fix it by doing a format (RESTORE would not work at this stage as it still can't recognized and mounted), in Mac we can use "Disk Utility" but the XP would not allow you to do the format in FAT32. After the formatting, replug the iPod with the computer, then it can be mounted and allow you to do the RESTORE.
In addition, I find an interesting point is, if your iPod formatted with a Mac, you will have better chance to be mounted with a PC, even your iPod does not complete the process of the installation of the iPod updater, and a PC formatted iPod will be likely to be fixed by a Mac as well.
How should we do before the update of the lastest software, for the XP user please do the following:-
1. Go to the system restore and create a check point in order to revert back to the previous version of the iPod updater, or do the back up using the 3rd party software such as Ghost or Go Back.
2. To have a test and make sure the PC's USB works properly. You can use the iPod or a PDA, and just make sure it got charged.
3. Have your iPod a full charge before the installation of the iPod updater
So, who is the main killer for the iPod?
For further infomation please read the following link - which wrote by a groups of great people - thank your guys
http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@@.68ae8668

Yes, it will erase all your data with your iPod. Please do not format until you have the back up of your iPod. Very likely that your iPod was formatted by a Mac, which can't be read by your PC. Download a software called Xplay

Apple TV2 Just Disappeared from Remote app on iPad and iPhone after latest Remote app update

I Have used Remote app on my iPad and iPhones to control my ATV1, ATV2, and ATV3 for years. After the latest Remote app update ATV2 has disappeared from tRemote, and I can no longer find a way to connect it. Any advice about this?

Brilliant. Restarting did the job, and all is well. Since I have recommended this to others with other ATV problems, I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't try it myself at the outset, and would probably have come around to trying it later, but you saved me some time. Thanks.

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1 and my Photos, Videos, contacts, music, App data, etc. was deleted. How can I all the data back?

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1. I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on a Windows XP Home Edition with the Service Pack 3 installed on the Windows XP (which I believe is the latest version). After updating, I unplugged my iPod from the computer. I saw that all my photos and videos were on my iPod, but there were no apps. A window popped up and told me to enter a passcode for my iPod. I entered a passcode. I then locked my iPod and entered what I thought to be the correct passcode, but my iPod remained unlocked. Desperate, I tried many passcodes with failure. After a while, my iPod became disabled for a long time. I decided to reset my iPod. After I reseted it, I chose to reset from my earlier back up. After reseting, my computer loaded on all my apps. But, when I started using my iPod, I realized all my photos, videos, music, app data (like game saves and high scores), etc. were gone! I have no idea what to do and I am very stressed about this! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET ALL MY STUFF BACK!!!!!!

Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

Hi
Thanks but I have tried doing the above - when I said 7 times I was modest, its more like 15 times.
And I am referring to the 5.1 software update. I dont have wifi so I guess I will have to try that seeing that my husband also has the same problem - he has also tried downloading several times. It always times out en says that the connection is lost but yet there are always an internet connection and a decent signal once it stopped. Think it said error 32052 or something!
I am disappointed because the update includes inprovement on the battery life - did you guys notice any difference?
