Acrobat:  disruptions in function to sign in again

I find it disruptive and annoying to be using a product like Acrobat and have it give me an error message telling me the program is not functioning when I'm in the middle of a task.  At first I tried to get an answer from support.  I finally discovered that this is Adobe's very inconvenient way to get me to sign in again, evidently to verify my subscription.  I would like whatever designer that set this up to apply the "Golden Rule" and ask how he or she would respond to this unexpected disruption.  I would hope that the bright people working for Adobe who read this would come up with a better way.

I know there was an issue with Acrobat X closing on launch that was fixed today. Hopefully that was related. Issue should not reoccur again. We have this doc I created about the issue:

Hope that helps,

  • I've signed up for a subscription to acrobat pro and successfully download 2 days ago. Now when I try to open pdf it asks if I want to sign up again and will not allow me to open the document.

    I've signed up for a subscription to acrobat pro and successfully download 2 days ago. Now when I try to open pdf it asks if I want to sign up again and will not allow me to open the document. Can anyone give me assistance?

    Hi Mbs@adobe,
    It sounds to me like you're trying to open a PDF via one of the Acrobat online services, not via Acrobat. Did you install the file that you downloaded after you signed up? Once you do, Acrobat will be installed on your computer, and you can run it locally (you don't access an Acrobat Pro subscription via the web--it works just like a version of Acrobat that you might purchase from the Adobe Store, or a large retailer).
    Then, you'll open the Acrobat application from your desktop and choose File > Open to open your PDF file.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • Signing in again and again to use CC apps

    Recently Adobe continually asks me to sign in when I use an app and in the case of Acrobat Pro asks me to sign in to use the "trial version".  All this since Adobe was hackedand I changes my Adobe password.  It is frustrating and without purpose.  What is going on?
    I don't routinely look at the Adobe Community forums.  Will I get an email alert that my question has been answered?
    Thanks.

    Try this...
    Close All Open Apps...  Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Can not open iCloud on MBP? Want to PhotoShare. Set up in iPhone.   Go to System Preferences, click on iCloud, get the message "move to iCloud", sign in, click on open iCloud", sign in again, and get only FindmyPhone?

    Set up in iPhone.   Go to System Preferences, click on iCloud, get the message "move to iCloud", sign in, click on open iCloud", sign in again, and get only FindmyPhone? Thus, when I go to Iphoto to set up photo sharing, it says I have to have icloud account-go to sys preferences--then i go through the loop again?  Suggestions?

    You're not going to be able to: you can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
    Use your ex-MobileMe email address (which is also an Apple ID) for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
    Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
    There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

  • I open up yahoo and my messenger (no the full version) the one you can use in your mail. Now that I have opened I can't close it even though I hit sign out again and again. Please advise.

    I am new to using a mac I have an older version. But I have used firefox on my pc before. I downloaded it and went to open messenger. Not the full downloaded messenger but the one you can access when in your mail on yahoo. It opened fine but now it won't close, even though I hit sign out again and again. I have tried force quite, uninstalling and reinstalling and still every time I sign into yahoo on firefox there is my messenger list open. For privacy issues I really need to be able to open and close it.

    Its works for other users, its only happened for one specific user only?  I didn't check the APPSRV.LOG file?  what needs to be checked in APPSRV.LOG, I can ask my infra team to check, because I don't have app server access to check log file.

  • ITunes Match on Windows 7 64 iTunes 10.5.2 64 -  - please sign in again itunes match has encountered an error. Please choose sign out and then sign in from the itunes store menu and try again.

    Windows 7 64 itunes 10.5.2 64 - I receive the following error message when opening iTunes - please sign in again itunes match has encountered an error. Please choose sign out and then sign in from the itunes store menu and try again.
    When I try to sign out iTunes freezes and I need to shut down windows entirely to get it to open again.
    Has anybody been able to resolve this issue?

    After many annoying sign-in-out-iTunes-match-activation problems I found an easy solution for me. When the iTunes Cloud symbol is broken (and I should sign in again) I just deactivate my notebooks (Windows 7) Wifi (with Fn+F5 for my Thinkpad).Then I call up the Itunes store and iTunes tells my that there is no connection to the internet (most probaply this step is not necessesary). After manual re-activation of my Wifi iTunes seems to re-establish the connection and the Cloud symbol signalizes that iTunes match does work, again.
    Hope, this helps.

    Hi
    I have Mountain Line with Safari 6.0.2. I used to open Facebook, Youtube, Twitter etc. and everytime I select "Stay signed in" "Remember my password" etc. but it doesn't save my passwords and everytime I have to sign in again. I never sign out from these websites but when I open it next time, it requires username & password.
    Does anybody know the problem & solution, plz help. I also found disk erros and reaoired permissiomn and the restarted and did disk utlty again and repaired the same disk errors and then did a restart and still does not remember passwords or ask me. Did all this still no luck it saved apple login on here and saved gmail account but others one it used to save does no longer.here is what i did below and still no luck.
    Instructions
    Set Your Passwords Preferences
    1
    Open up your Safari Web browser and choose 'Preferences' from the Safari pull down menu
    2
    Click on the heading 'AutoFill.'
    Click on the box next to 'User Names and Passwords.'
    4
    Close the 'Preferences' window.
    Save Your Passwords
    5
    Go to a Web page that requires a password and enter in your chosen password. Safari will then ask if you would like to save this password.
    6
    Click on the button 'Yes' in order to save the password.
    7
    Complete steps 1 and 2 for any other passwords that you want Safari to remember.
    Manage Your Passwords
    8
    Go to the 'AutoFill' section in the Safari Preferences window.
    9
    Click on the 'Edit' button to the right of where it says 'User Names and Passwords.' This will bring up a window displaying all of the passwords and usernames that you have authorized Safari to save.
    10
    Click on a password listing and push the 'Remove' button in order to delete the password from Safari's memory.
    11
    Choose 'Remove All' in order to delete all of the saved passwords.
    12

    I suggest that you run software update, after which you should have Safari 6.0.5 - then check Safari - Preferences - Privacy & see that 'Block cookies' is not set to Always.
    Failing that - switch Safari extensions Off via Safari - Preferences - Extensions & test again

  • When trying to sign out of Hotmail the "back navigation button" remains green and I have to click sign out again and the same thing happens over and over and the only way to close Hotmail is to go to File and Close Frame, so what's my problem?

    When I attempt to sign out of Hot Mail by clicking "Sign Out," I get the "Sign In" instruction as I always have, however, the green Firefox navigation button remains on bright green (not going to gray) and my MSN home page will not close automatically as usual. I click on the green arrow and I get an instruction to "Sign Out" again. I click on that and get the "Sign In" again but the arrow stays green. I can repeat this countless times and never get signed out and always remaining on the MSN home page. The only way I can close is to go to File and click on Close Window and then my homepage will close and go back to desktop. I've been using Firefox for a couple of years now (IE prior to that for ten years) and have never had this problem. After using "Close Window" I go back onto my home page, from the desktop, and the navigation button is grayed out normally until I sign in again and we start the cycle over again. Have I been hacked?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Approximately a month ago.

    I was doing a side-by-side comparison of the new and old server (we backed up the server before the reformat) and I can see that, evidently, CR XI was installed.  We have the directory C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0 and all the versions match what is located in the project's bin directory.  Does this confirm that I did have XI installed and licensed at one time?
    If I purchase a more recent version, couldn't I update the reports to use the newer version?  I have all the source code.
    Thanks for your help, it is a nice sanity check for me after hours of reading forums and documentation.
    Also, just a shot in the dark, but I'm assuming it wouldn't do me any good to simply restore the aforementioned folder to my C drive?  Would that work if I registered all the dll's?
    Edited by: Eric Hollering on Dec 2, 2009 6:40 PM
    To be clear, I do have VS 2003 & 2005, and I have the source code.  I just have never used Crystal Reports in any of my .NET apps because the need wasn't there, so recompiling is not out of the question.
    Edited by: Eric Hollering on Dec 2, 2009 6:49 PM
    Also, I looked at the CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll that was in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\Managed folder and when I right-click and view the properties, then the Version tab, in addition to the 11.0.9500.2 version number, there is a property called Product Version that has the value .NET.  Does that mean that this dll was bundled with Visual Studio?
    I also found this directory on the old server...does this tell you anything?
    C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11
    I did see that you can still buy XI from CDW.  I have a call into them currently to check with Business Objects for any registrations from my company.

    Hi higi97,
    How are you connected to the internet? Are you behind a particularly secure corporate firewall? Are you on Mac or Windows? Do you have any anti-malware software running on your machine that may be preventing applications other than your browser from connecting to the internet?
    You may try to follow the steps below:
    1.Close the Creative Cloud application.
    2.Navigate to the OOBE folder.
    Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
    Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
    3.Delete the opm.db file.
    4.Launch Creative Cloud.
    Let us know if that helps,
    Regards,

  • IPad- on Yahoo pages the mail icon with the red number indication shows email.  When I tap, it asks me to sign in again. I do. It takes me to yahoo mail but there is nothing.  All the folders are emptied. All mail is either read, trash, or deleted.

    iPad- on all Yahoo pages the mail icon with the red number indication shows email.  When I tap, it asks me to sign in again. I do. It takes me to yahoo mail but there is nothing.  All the folders are emptied. All my mail is either read, trash, or deleted. Also, when I tap on the mail app on iPad home page, gmail is no problem but for yahoo I get error: no password for yahoo. Go to Mail Account Settings and enter password.  I'm stuck. Suggestions?  Thank you.

    Ask and you shell receive.....lol
    Go to your Gmail account in the browser.
    Hit the folder icon that brings up the folder selection.
    Scroll down to the bottom and select desktop version.
    The broswer will refresh and bring up your gmail account as though you were looking on it on the computer.
    The go to the upper right corner and select settings.
    Then go to forwarding and pop/imap
    Go look at pop download
    There you'll find 3 numbered lines
    Go to 1. Status
    And select enable pop for all mail
    Then save the settings
    Once you have done that you can go back to BlackBerry device settings and sync your mail or wait for it to sync it's self.
    Let me know how it works out.
    I just did it and it sync within minutes.

    Hi bouerbird,
    I just l looked at your account using the same email address that you use here in the forums, and don't see any order history for you. Is it possible that you signed up using a different email address?

  • What does this statement mean: "There is a problem with your authentication, possibly due to inactivity. For your safety, you have been logged out and must sign in again to continue?"

    I am able to make it to the site for about 2 seconds and then I am quickly logged off and the statement, "There is a problem with your authentication, possibly due to inactivity. For your safety, you have been logged out and must sign in again to continue."
    I don't have a clue as to the problem but since this is impacting my participation in these classes and ultimately could have a negative impact on my grade, I am more than a little concerned!
