Acrobat Reader 6.0.6 will not start up

When I try to open any PDF file, Acrobat Reader attempts to start up but then immediately shuts down. I get a black splash screen that tells me to restart my computer. I am running OS X 10.4.11 on a PowerBook G4 1.5Ghz with 1.5GB on RAM. No printers or external devices are attached. Does any one know what is causing this. Need some help. Thanks

There is no uninstaller for Acrobat 6 Pro. I did find somewhere in these forums that someone had written a script to uninstall Acrobat Pro 6 which worked great. However, that link has been taken down. Maybe someone out there still has a copy. I did find a TechNote on how to remove Acrobat 6 manually. Looks like a monumental job, about 2 pages of items to delete. If you find a better solution, sure would like to know about it. Thanks.

DVD not read correctly: Medieval 2 will not start anymore (original disc)

Hi everyone, sorry if i am posting this in the wrong part of the website but i really need help with something. I bought a new pc game ( Medieval 2 Total War ) and when i 1st installed it, it worked fine. The day after i went to play it again and when i clicked on the icon the DVD Drive started and the disc was being read. The problem was though an Error message came up saying that i needed to insert the right disc when it clearly stated on the manual disc 1 was to kept in the drive. Can anyone tell me why it was working 1 minute then the next saying that my disc does not exist please? I tried to reinstall it and everything but the same message appears over and over. Any suggestions please?
Thanks in Advanced
David

Hello David
It will be interesting to know which notebook model you have.
By the way: try to disable packet writing software DLA. Maybe it helps.
The procedure of changing a setup of DLA is as follows:
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Right-click the icon of the CD/DVD drive and choose Properties
3. Click the DLA tab
4. To disable DLA option clear the Enable DLA on your drives checkbox
Please let me know if this works.

Acrobat Pro with design premium will not start

Yesterday I downloaded CS4 Design Premium. All of the programs work except for Acrobat Pro. It displays the following: An internal server error occurred.
I have tried all of the usual things like restarting. Removing preferences, no luck. Uninstalling and restarting then reinstalling, no luck.
What am I missing? I am using a MacBook Pro 2.33ghz intel core duo, 2g ram, with OSX 10.5.8.
Thanks in advance
William

Well I solved my own problem.
Delete this file.
You can find it on this path.
After I removed the file everything worked fine.
I am not sure where this file came from but I know removing it fixed the problem.

Which version are you trying to install and from which location?
If you sure installation is successful then try launching Reader from All Programs menu.
Else try offline installer of Reader, download it from

Acrobat X Pro will not start

Installed Acrobat X Pro from CS6 DVD onto Win7 computer. All other programs run fine but Acrobat will not start. Clicking on the Desktop Shortcut or in the Start Menu, nothing happens. PDF files will not open. Had Adobe Reader on the computer when I installed CS6 and that opened PDF files instead of Acrobat X Pro. I uninstalled Reader in hopes Acrobat would start, but it doesn't. Just installed the latest updates and still nothing. Tried Repair in the Uninstall program but still doesn't start. Do I need to Uninstall Acrobat X Pro and reinstall from the DVD?

Have you checked your task bar for any "invisible" windows producing any buttons there? This strikes me as a case of the license agreement being drawn invisibly/ off screen and since you never confirm itr, Acro won't start. Perhaps resetting your graphics config might help, in case you e.g. had a 2 monito setup, but removed one of the monitors. Otehr than that this could be anything from UAC to security tools blocking stuff.... We realyl cannot know and a reinstall likely won't fix that particular issue, either.

Acrobat Pro 10 will not start after installing PitStop 10

This is my problem. Acrobat will not start when I have installed PitStop 9 or 10.
However, it works fine together with PitStop 8.
Thanks.

Don't know about fixing PitStop. However, have you tried a simple repair on Acrobat. If Acrobat won't open you can do that from the Programs and Features menu (Add/Remove Programs in OS prior to Win7).

HT5654 Just tried 3 times to update iTunes on my PC running Vista. There was an error. It stopped the installation. Now iTunes will not start at all. The error message tells me to reinstall which I tried but did not work. What should I do?

Hello, Jdragone.
Thanks for the question. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

If you receive any errors when uninstalling any components of iTunes, try the steps in the article below for each component that gives you an error.
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" alert appears when removing Apple software in Windows

HP TouchSmart application will not start

We purchased an HP IQ 526 TouchSmart desktop with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit machine approximately two months ago. We use Clearwire to connect to the internet. About a month ago the HP TouchSmart applilcation stopped working. It will not start. Every time we try to start it we get the following error message:
HP TouchSmart Calendar has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Sometimes it says it's the HP TouchSmart Notes has stopped working or one of the other TouchSmart applications. I went to hp.com and updated all of the software for the TouchSmart application and Windows Vista. And I reguarly use Windows Update to ensure my OS is current with Microsoft security updates. I also updated the firmware. After these actions and rebooting many times the application would still not start. At this point I contacted HP customer support. We uninstalled HP TouchSmart, then reinstalled. This didn't work. I continue to see information events in the Windows Application Log almost every minute regarding HPTouchSmartCalendarNotes. They are typically the following messages over and over:
Reminder clock elapsed event is successfully fired.
CheckReminder() is executed successfully.
ShowReminder() is executed successfully.
After Fetching the XML nodes, checking for each node is done successfully in ShowReminder()
Events in Events.xml Before Showing Reminder<DataRoot></DataRoot>
I still have a case open with HP support and they said uinstalling the OS and reinstalling is likely the next step but I have to believe someone else has run into this issue or HP has a QFE for this issue. I really do not want to uninstall the OS and reinstall it. This has become very frustrating as the HP TouchSmart application is the primary reason we purchased the computer so my wife can manage our photos and music collection via the touch screen.
If anyone has seen this before or has a solution I would love to hear about it. We are considering taking the computer back if we can not resolve this issue.
On a related note and this might be a separate issue I continuously get HPTCS stopped working messages. I've searched the internet for what HPTCS.exe is and what is does but there is little to no information available.
Please let me know or if there is additional information I could provide that would be useful for troubleshooting.
Cheers,
G

Our machine was sent back to HP and they reformatted our hard drive and sent it back. Wow. Fantastic service. NOT!!!! I could have done that. Without debugging their own software to figure out why this was happening they reformatted the hard drive. I can only expect this problem will happen again since there must be a software update, etc... that is causing this behavior. I honestly do not know how to voice my disgust in their customer service. I have been a long time fan of HP and we basically only buy HP at work but this was the poorest display of customer service I have ever encountered. If your TouchSmart application stops working and the TouchSmart software updates do not resolve the problem you might as well pretend like you bought a normal computer without touch capabilities. Like buying an iPhone without it behaving like an iPhone.

Lightroom 5 on a Mac os 10.8.5 will not start. It fails to open. And it worked fine the other day.

lightroom 5 on a Mac os 10.8.5 will not start. It fails to open. And it worked fine the other day.

Reh... Doesn't work on my 2012 Mac mini. A function key set in Sys Prefs worked in Leopard and Lion on my MB but I cannot get any key to work using SysPref Dictation & Speech. It is befuddling and now I have to go to Edit-Speech to turn on and turn off speech to selected text.
I have used Macs and Apple 2es since cave man days and Apple is becoming so befuddling I am wondering if there is even an advantage to it over Windows XP. I spent a lot on this little box, it looks good (the first one had to be exchanged as it wouldn't link to my keyboard ???) but Apple intuitive does no longer seem meaningful.
If speech to text no longer is accessible by short cuts using Fkeys, why bother to have it in Syst Prefs?
Apple is losing its way. The pleasure is gone and no one at Apple seems to care.

HT4972 my ipad will not start it has an apple in the center and no matter what I do it will not dispeasr, erase or open

MY ipad will not start. I can only see an apple in the center.

Have you tried this?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
