Acrobat dominates my spreadsheet capabilities. When I try to use Excel, PDF interrupts and takes over
My setup for Adobe is flawed. When I open an Excel spread sheet, Adobe wants to operate the spreadsheet and save it as PDF. How do I change the setup to eliminate problem?
Hi Camacho,
Acrobat will not save the spreadsheet as PDF unless you click on the option to do so.
Do you face the issues with all the spreadsheets?
What happens when you launch Excel?
What version of Office are you using?
Regards,
Rave

Hi,
I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada and when I try to use Siri it loads and loads and then says, "I'm really sorry about this, but I can't take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while."
I rebooted and it didn't fix the problem. I just got my iPhone 4s (unlocked right from Apple) several weeks ago.Siri has been a bit more erratic than usual in the last week or so. Apple has announced a major announcement for 9/12. Conclusions are left to the reader.
Best of luck.

When I try to use my iCloud backup it takes forever to backup and then sometimes it says unable to backup what do I do
If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test: Go to...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup. If that doesn't work, then this post will not help. If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup. If successful, keep repeating these steps. If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail. (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one. -
When I try to use IE, Firefox starts up and takes the address from IE and opens it in Firefox. I need to use both browsers. How do I stop this?
I imagine you have Firefox set as the default browser. Unset that in firefox
* Tools -> Options -> |Advanced| -> |General| -> system ... <br/>and uncheck the option to always check that Firefox is the default browser
* now open IE and use IE's settings to set that as the default browser
Now if for instance you open an internet link, or a HTML file on your Windows XP desktop they should open in IE
Post back with how you get on. -
When I try to use iSight with iMovie and it says no camera available in iMovie '08
iSight won't connect in iMovie... HELP! I found an article regarding the issue but I think the version of iMovie was different than what I have because it really did me no good.
Here are my suggestions for your iMovie '08 problem.
One of them will resolve your trouble. Try them in
any order you like, testing camera function after
each one until you have found the one that worked.
• If you have not already done so, restart Mac and
try again. A simple restart often clears up minor
issues, including yours.
• I am using iMovie '11 with no problems. Some
problems have been reported with the iMovie 9.06.
However, I can't find compatibility info for ver 8.
If possible, consider updating to this latest iMovie:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/imovie/
• Try Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
suggestions. The specific "reset" procedure suggested
there for your particular MBP model often restores normal function.
(Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
• Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
download and apply the latest Combo Update, for your Mac OS,
the current one is at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1581
(yes, use this Combo even though you are already running 10.8.2)
Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart that completes the Combo update. Then check whether your Mac's > Software Update... menu command tell you that other updates are needed. If so, apply them and finish with another permissions repair.
• If you still have problems after properly applying the Combo,
try OS X's Recovery feature http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/
to repair your hard drive or, if all else fails, reinstall a fresh copy of OS X.
• Properly applying the latest Combo update or repairing or
reinstalling OS X can usually correct software problems.
However, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem,
there are no user serviceable parts of your webcam.
For hardware help, contact an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

I would like help as I cannot find another app that works where it will store files in folders
I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue. -
I'm getting an "invalid column name" error when I try to use the xmlelement() function (and the like). Is this function only available on 9i Release 2? How do I find the SQLX functions and/or load them up for use? Hopefully someone will see this as a quick question and answer it for me!

I want to uninstall Acrobat reader. I got support in the community to access my HD and to send to trash the internet plugs in for PDF viewer, but when I try to download a PDF from internet a black screen appears and preview doesn't open
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -
I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf" I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file. After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared. How do I resolve this problem?
I have a similar problem which i did not have before...and it exists only in some powerpoint files which i want to print as a pdf file...and i get the same message as above.
the log says the bellow details...what's the problem and how can i resolve it? thanks.

When I try to download a PDF from Adobe DC, I get an error message: "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC could not open 'nrneph.2015.33.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)"
I am using a Macbook Pro, OSX 10.9.5, Safari browser. Previous versions of Adobe Acrobat have worked fine for years.
WGCWhat's the name of the file you are attempting to open? Is it "ScreenFlow_4.5.2.dmg"? If it is the correct name then the message is correct and you are attempting to open a file with DMG files extension and not one with a PDF file extension. Adobe Reader opens PDF files an not any other file type.

When I try to combine two pdf's, it asks for a permission password and says the documents are protected; however, I didn't put any protection/security in the documents. I assume it is a default security under the enhanced security settings of the Acrobat Pro XI which I recently purchased.
Acrobat (Pro or Standard) does not apply a "default" protection. It appears that someone or some other process has applied protection.
Be well... -

Does this only open on that specific site?
In any case, you may want to:
- instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
- reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
- install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox) -
