Acrobat did not ask about my PDF reading preferences when installing/launching

In reply #52 to this thread in the Creative Cloud forum post http://forums.adobe.com/message/4790915#4790915 the customer mandelbrot had this issue with Acrobat:
"When installing Acrobat 10 it removed my preferences for my default PDF Reader; Why? I didn't ask it to. Thankfully I reinstated the previous default through the OS. This isn't a choice that Adobe should be making on my behalf - it should ask me."
On Windows 7 I was able to confirm this behavior by having Adobe Reader as my default program. I then installed Acrobat using the Creative Cloud. Afterwards I opened the PDF file and it opened in Acrobat without prompting me about Adobe Reader.

Windows will generally use the last program installed that instructs the system how to open a file of a particular type. If you want Reader to open the PDF when double-clicking in Windows Explorer, then right click, select open with, and then go to the menu for "always open with" and select Reader. What you are talking about is true of most installations of programs in Windows. Browsers tends to do the same thing if you install multiple browsers. In the case of Acrobat, AA X was the first version that actually allows both Reader and Acrobat, at least from a support viewpoint. For all previous versions it was recommended to install one or the other, not both. You can run both, but with some potential hickups.

Ipod touch did not prompt to enter apple id password when installing an application.

I tried to do a restore and tried using creating another apple id. But still the ipod touch did not prompt me to enter apple id password and immediately proceed to install the application. How to solve this? Please help .....

Hi,
Yes. I tried to install another application within 10-15mins. Thanks for enlightening me as I'm new to Apply products. Feeling kind of silly that I did not really read up the user guide. Thanks for your advise.

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

Anubha,
It worked! Thank you so much.
I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
program...', it worked like a charm.
Again, thank you!

Activity app did not ask me for set up

When I launched the activity app for the first time, it did not ask me for my stats (gender, etc.) it it should have according to the guided tour. Hard tapping on the app only allows me to customize calorie goals.
How do I set this app up?

Hi mapex_venus,
After reading your post, I went through the Apple Watch User Guide and found the steps to adjust your personal info:
https://help.apple.com/watch/#/apd7d17e9500
Apple Watch uses the information you provide about your height, weight, gender, and age to calculate how many calories you burn, how far you travel, and other data. In addition, the more you run with the Workout app , the more Apple Watch learns your fitness level—and the more accurately it can estimate the calories you’ve burned during aerobic activity.
Your iPhone GPS allows Apple Watch to achieve even more distance accuracy. For example, if you carry iPhone while using the Workout app on a run, Apple Watch uses the iPhone GPS to calibrate your stride. Then later, if you’re not carrying iPhone, or if you’re working out where GPS is unavailable (for example, indoors), Apple Watch uses the stored information about your stride to measure distance.
Update your height and weight. Open the Apple Watch app on iPhone, tap My Watch, tap Health, Weight, or Height, and adjust.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Bobby_D

I lost all my data after upgrading to iOS5.1. It did not ask me even one single question to delete or sync anything

I tried to restore it but it gave me nothing but empty iPad. I don't use any other 'i' things. I upgrade and install my new computer and update iTunes.
It did not ask me anything about my connecting and I ask for updateing old software. Everything is gone TOO smoth and yes clean iPad.
I tried to find the answer in Internet but it did not fit my case. And they are lucky to have back up or other product from Apple to resync.
I guess this will be the last one. I also have Samsung Andriod and I like it very much even it costs me very little, quick, shape, not confusing, type it easily, not gugu.
SO NEXT ONE, I WILL BUY TABLET FROM SAMSUNG.

I thought it is a intuitive idea to back up. But another problem I heard it before is someone lost the data when he synced his new iTune with the iPad with full data. And it synced iPad empty. I could happen.
True I should back up, which I did not lost my data much except my notes in iPad.
My complain is to say normal sensible OS will not do this. My Samsung did not have fansy iTune which I have to be careful too much. I just keep/remove things without warrying stupid sync.
As you all seem has experience how to use iTune, but I don't. I cannot use it simple.

Charged for items I did not ask for and refuse to refund

I signed up for a bundle back in Sept of 08, which during that time I called a few times because I was charged for channels I did not want or sign up for, they did refund those or at least parts. However now I notice that I am being charged for 6.99 home wire maintence, I did not ask for this, so I called and they said we can't refund that, I asked how long it had been and they said since sept of 08 when I signed up...however vz signed me up for paperless statements, I did not ask for that and when I look at my bill online I cannot see the wire charge unless I go to download paper bill, i thought they were the same thing as what I was seeing online, so I never loked at them- they refuse to give me my money back - they said they sent a welcome letter when I signed up witht his on it, I did not see anything about this. Anyone else have a similar problem? My friends have all had over charges with their bundles. But I do realize this goes way back, but these charges where soemthing I had to basically hunt for, they were not on my online bill that I normally see. Their supervisers refuse to help, any suggestions how to get my money back? They should not be allowed to do this to people?

Hi aa16346....hmmm? allow me to contact billing for you in order to come to a resolution. In a private message please send me your billing account number so I can look into this for you. Sorry for this frustration. Allow me to help, thanks.

I found this (TS3579: If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac Learn about If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac) useful because I did not know about the effect of typing in data and that you could only drag to rearrange the data. I had typed in data before and this had caused problems but restoring defaults did not cause correct dates to show up in Finder.

It sounds like there are a couple things going on here. First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance. Once you find this, make sure the service is started.
If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error. If you get an error, post the error message your hitting. If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect. If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
name in the connection dialog. Ex: "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name. However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format. Ex: COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
is the instance name you set during install).
You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install. Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

I did not know about iCloud until after my iPad2 was stolen but I have the serial number so is there any way Apple/iCoud can help trace it when the thief logs into Apple's website /store etc? Thanks

iOS devices cannnot be tracked or located with just the serial number. Unless you shared your Apple ID and password with anyone, then your account cannot be accessed at the iTunes Store.

How do I create a separate Address Book? I'm not asking about a mailing list but an address book where the addresses are not mixed in with my regular address book. I already have three address books created for me by Thunderbird. I add all new addresses to one of those but am afraid to delete the other address books because some of their addresses are not repeated in my "main" address book. So if I don't delete all the names in one of the existing books, I need to create an empty book that will not mix the addresses with those in another address book. HOW DO I CREATE A NEW, EMPTY ADDRESS BOOK? I want to be able to create various mailing LISTS using the addresses in this new book so I will eventually have a special address book with a variety of mailing lists I can use as I wish.

In 24.4.0 there is no File|New|Address Book. There is File|New|Address Book Contact. How do I create a new address book ?

$300 charge for the phone i did not ask for!!!

Hello,
my name is Irina , phone number xxx-xxx-xxxx.
I came to a Verizon store (Harbor east branch on Fleet street, Baltimore., MD) two months ago to purchase screen protectors for my iphone. Before i left the assistant asked if there was anything else they could help me with. I said the home button wasn't working properly so they offered to take a look at it.
After inspecting the iphone the assistant said the issue could not be fixed and offered to order a replacement iphone for no additional charges, since the inspection had not detected water damage.
I gladly agreed! Received my replacement ipone, mailed the old one back. it was two months ago.
Now two months later i see a $299 charge for the replacement phone i received in march because they detected water damage in my old iphone.
How ridiculous is that? I did not ask for it. If i knew there was a chace of water damage why would i risk a $300 charge replacing my iphone when i could just wait a few months for the iphone 5 free upgrade?! My old phone worked fine, except for the home button being not sensitive.
And now you're expecting me to pay $300 for what?
The store has to take responsibility for this. The charge needs to be taken off my account. My whole family and i have been verizon customers for 5 years and i cant believe this is happening now!
If no action is taken to resolve this problem im going to file a complain to FFC Better Business Bureau.
I'm hoping to hear from a verizon representative as soon as possible. Customer service on the phone would not help.
I can not believe how difficult it is to find contact information to get in touch with the right people who will be in position to help.
Thank you for your coordination,
Irina

So, my son's iPhone 4s was having issues with the power button and the home button. I bought it less than a year ago and have also purchased the insurance. That said these kept sticking and didn't work, so we took it into the Verizon store where a sales clerk took it to the back and after 15 minutes came back to tell us that his iPhone was broken, and that the problems were common and we could get a new phone under the warranty. We asked 5 questions along the lines of are you sure? They said yes. They looked up our information and NOT ONCE did they advise us to go thru the Insurance option that I pay $9.99 a month for. This issue would be covered by warranty for SURE! They gave us a box to ship it back to Verizon in, ordered him a new phone, and wala it came in the mail 3-5 days later. THEN 10 days AFTER that, I get an email from Verizon telling me that they "disallowed" the warranty claim as the issue was not due to a malfunction of the phone but some kind of damage -- which then they included a picture of (and the picture did NOT even show on the email). They also wanted me to know that I would be seeing a $299 charge for the replacement phone. I didn't even PAY $299 for the original phone back when I bought it - there was a $199 promo deal going on. I called customer service - what a CLUSTER! They pulled up the email and could SEE the picture I couldn't - and the notation apparently saying that the phone had suffered WATER DAMAGE. This PHONE has been treated like GOLD -- it never had ANY Water damage, they are just trying to get out of honoring the Warranty. WHY would the service tech @ the Verizon store tell us it was a common issue covered under warranty AFTER inspection? WHY would he tell us that it would be taken care of and to send the phone into Verizon with a new replacement on the way?? The Customer Service person then shared with me "oh - I see you have the Asurion Insurance" - I said YES, I did get that when we bought the phone. She said we should have SENT the damaged phone thru Insurance for replacement. OMG! We RELIED UPON THEIR OWN employee to discern the nature of the issue. If they had looked up the account and saw I had insurance, why did they not go that route? What a *****. So net net - I AM NOT PAYING $299 for that phone - they can send me to a collection agency. Honestly what a racket and what kind of employees are working there - incompetent. I will NOT pay for that phone. The worst case should have been I had to pay the insurance deductible, but we relied on the Verizon store employee to diagnose the problem and provide recommended action - which WAS WRONG!

Mozilla would not have installed Outook Express on your computer, they do not offer Microsoft programs. This would have been something that you or somebody using your computer would have installed.
Check the Windows control panel add/remove programs for Outlook Express, you should be able to uninstall it from there.

I have just downloaded itunes but it did not ask me where I wanted to put it so it has downloaded to my pc C drive automatically but I want it in my D drive. How can I fix this please?

I have just downloaded itunes but it did not ask me where I wanted to put it so has put it into my (pc) C drive by default. I want it in the D drive. How do I do this please? I have already tried uninstalling & reinstalling (this is what I'm doing now) but clearly without success.

All purchases are considered final, but you can try contacting iTunes support and explain what happened and see if they will refund or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
To try and stop it happening again, you should be able to turn off in-app purchases on your device via Settings > General > Restrictions > In-App Purchases 'off', and (depending upon what iOS version that you have on the device) you might also be able to set 'Require Password' to 'Immediately' on the Restrictions (the default is a 15 minute period during which it doesn't need to be re-entered)

Length specified in network packet payload did not match number of bytes read; the connection has been closed.

Hello every one
I am getting this in my event log from time to time . not sure what is that ?
Is this a hacker trying to send rubbish data to SQL through the port ?
Any help is appreciated .
Length specified in network packet payload did not match number of bytes read; the connection has been closed. Please contact the vendor of the client library. [CLIENT: someip]

Thank you all for the reply ,
my server is on port 1533 . Port 1433 is closed on my server .
All the requests are coming from my own ip , i feel this is funny .
Is my server hacked then ?
Or could be my ISP doing any routine tests ?
Also is this is hack attempt , what does this hacker think he will benefit from this ? Could this bring the SQL server down ?
I was thinking about chaning port to something else , 1344 or something , u think this can be better ?

Why is Apple putting music on my iPhone that I did not ask for and do not want ?

I have a Mac Pro and an iPod Classic that I use for my music.
I noticed today that some of my purchased music was on my iPhone iTunes app. I did not ask for these to be installed.
Also, I noticed that when I tap on a song, sometimes it plays, sometimes nothing happens.

Do you mean this
No.
These are thousands of songs that I purchased using my Mac Pro. I sync my iPod Classic with a USB cable to move the songs to the iPod.
Now, my purchased songs (not the ones imported into my Mac Pro using a CD), are in my iPhone. I do not use the cloud. I have been very careful not to sign up for anything related to the cloud.
I'm trying to figure out why Apple is forcing this on me.
