Adobe 9.4.0 messes with computer
I just downloaded reader 9.4.0 twice, once from the Adobe website and once from a thirdparty web site. On both installations file associations get completely hosed and no programs can be launched because "Adobe does not support that association" All desk top icons are changed to unknown (in my case the eared paper with the adobe symble in the center). Luckly that the control pannel was working so that I could uninstall which brought everything back to normal. I am running Vista SP2 with updates, Firefox 3.6.11, Comodo 5.0.16+++, and AVG 9.0.862. I see others are running without trouble so it must be something particular to my system... Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Chuck
I have seen this a couple of times here in the forum, last http://forums.adobe.com/thread/741664 - always on Vista and Windows 7.
I have never been able to figure out why and what is happening, so in these rare cases I always ended up suggesting to use an alternate PDF viewer; see the above topic for some specific recommendations.

ITunes won't start & messes with computer.
Whenever I click the shortcut to run iTunes, the program never actually shows up. Looking in the Task Manager shows that the process is running, but the program itself is not accessible. I am also unable to end the process. It just doesn't respond. It also displays NO error message.
Whenever I try to run it, not only does it not open like described, other programs follow in its wake and fail to open but they all register their processes as having started.
I've tried, repeatedly, the method I've seen that involves uninstalling QuickTime and iTunes and then reinstalling them separate but to no avail.
Any ideas?
I've had this problem before but the only way I fixed it was with a reformat. I need iTunes for my iPod and CD management...
Thanks for any help!I can't take credit for this and don't remember who to give it to, but it was right here under another topic and it worked for me and was very simple.... so simple I could do it!
I have McAfee and don't know if it will work with any other antivirus program, but give it a try.... it's better than calling tech support, right?
I went and deleted the song that had the error message next to it under download in the activity area on the left on the itunes page or in the itunes folder in "my music" in "my documents". (I read to do this somewhere around here)
Then go to the start menu then to "run", type in <services.msc> (without the ) and click on "ok", scroll down to "McAfee redirector" in that window, then right click on it and then click "stop". I kept that window minimized so I just clicked "start" on the left in that window when I was done getting the song to my library. Be sure to write this all down so it isn't forgotten in case it happens again.
Now open itunes and sign in. Go to "store" on the very top of the page and then click on "check for purchases". it should have the song or whatever you bought that never made it to your library.
Who ever figured this out, thanks a lot! Thanks to you I only had a few minutes of frustration.... I hope it works for you and the others having this problem. -
Currently using Photoshop CS5, but with a replacement computer and upgrade to Yosemite, keep being told I need to install the legacy Java 6. Currently, Photoshop won't even open. I absolutely do not want to subscribe, don't want to mess with the cloud, just want to buy an upgrade to something that will run for a while longer. I don't care about Lightroom, Bridge, Illustrator, etc.; most of those I've deleted over the years. But I do use Photoshop - or would if it would still run. What options do I have?
This is the java you need for photoshop cs5 to work on mac os x 10.10 Yosemite
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US
It's also possible you may have to reinstall photoshop cs5 even after installing the above java, because sometimes the upgrade to mac os x 10.10 messes up the photoshop cs5 installation.
You can download photoshop cs5 from here if you don't already have the install media.

I have Type kit turned OFF, so why is it still messing with my documents Adobe?

Yet again you have managed to "fix" something that was not broken.
Creative cloud has been nothing but aggro since I installed it, wish I could stay on CS5......not that that is much better mind.
I have created documents with the fonts installed before I swapped to CC, now when I open them it replaces the font with default Myriad and the correct font has gone from my fonts menu. Why? the fonts are obviously already installed otherwise how would I have created it in the first place?
Please sort this out Adobe, your products used to be the industry standard. Now they are just SUB STANDARD with no competition, and most users feel they are being short changed because we don't have any other option. Not really good enough is it?I have the same problem were you able to fix it?

Hey, Adobe, don't mess with MY desktop!!
I installed Lightroom 4.1 today. I'm a Windows 7 user. It's MY desktop. The install messed with MY desktop in two ways:
1. It unpacked things to my desktop. While it was nice enough to delete the unpacked files when it was done, but if something had gone wrong there would be this cruft on MY desktop. Put the temporary files in %TEMP%. That's where they are supposed to go.
2. You created an icon on MY desktop without asking MY permission. If every product I ever installed put an icon on my desktop, I'd need two big monitors. Just ask. Thankfully, most products do. You didn't.
ChuckI kind of agree with you, but there are many, many more irritating things applications do. In this case, deleting a desktop icon or folder are fairly easy, as you can see them (and there's no risk in removing them).
What annoy me more are programs that
load a load of trash at boot-up to check for updates (they could equally well do that when they run, don't slow down my boot-up)
leave stuff in memory to speed the launch of a program (unless I run it very very often, I don't want that)
leave services running when the corresponding program isn't running (Apple, are you listening?)
set tasks to run at regular intervals just to check - who knows what
add extra toolbars to other programs (unless you uncheck easy-to-miss opt-outs when installing)
Bad examples here: Sun java (update checker), Google (update checker), Adobe Flash, Apple (stuff related to itunes, ipods, ipads etc left running 24/7), Nikon (update service). If you don't weed them out (with msconfig, autoruns or whatever) then you find boot-up takes extra minutes, and half a gig of memory is taken up with wholly idle software. -

I've downloaded two adobe cs6 files to a new computer. How do I activate photoshop with these files?
i said the 2nd file name you listed in message 6 was incorrect, not the file name in message 8.
but if the file name message 8 is correct, both names in message 6 are incorrect. or you just might have a typo for the first file name.
in any case, make sure both file names are exactly the same but have different (a 7z and an exe) extensions, put both in the same directory and then click the exe. -
Messed with System/Library files now computer won't start
Ok, I wanted to go about fixing a Photoshop issue I had with 10.4.6. So I replace the following files with the files from 10.4.5...
/System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare
/System/Library/Frameworks/AppleShareClientCore.framework
/System/Library/Frameworks/AppleshareClient.framework
My network drive went all haywire and I tried to replace the files with the original 10.4.6 files. After that did not solve the problem, I downloaded and used Pacifist to retreive the files from Mac OS X 10.4.6 for PPC downloaded from Apple. After replacing the /System/Library/ from this file, my computer went completely haywire and would not shutdown, start any aps or do anything. Now it won't work at all.
Am I completely screwed? I don't want to have to wipe everything (I have Quark on there that I no longer have a disk for) but I think I may have to.
Please if you have any suggestions for this stupid idiot, who should not have messed with their computer, they would be so welcomed!
Thanks!HI, c.i.

Well, you are being told thar Adobe Acrobat is not comptible with Win 7, which may be true, but this is the Adobe Reader forum. The Acrobat forums are here:

Edge update messed with timing of objects (was: Adobe Edge update - bugs)
Creating simple animations for e-cards and the new update definitely messed with timing of objects, and is creating erroneous instances of symbols.
Still can load the original version and plays fine, but just loading the version in the _updated folder that was created when original version was opened after update is messed up.
Really disappointed with this update, I really dislike doing my work twice.Hi Jess
We are investigation the problem and is being tracked in our internal issue tracker.
Thanks for reporting the same.

This is my problem:
The newest flash player crashes everytime I open certain web pages like failblog or tinychat which requires a webcam
I'm not sure what is causing it but it's only when i'm on those webpages that it crashes...
I can go on youtube kongregate steam and I can play tons of games the only thing I cant do is go on certain websites that messes with the newest version of flash for some reason...
I can use ANY other version of adobe flash and it won't crash at all but the problem with using the older versions is that I can't use my webcam on certain sites.
Will there be another update release for adobe flash that will fix this problem? The previous version was fine I don't know what was changed but will it get fixed?
And yes I have also been into the error logs but it doesn't show anything and the codes that it does show, people don't know what the hell it means lol just a bunch of binary number like data...I could post that but I doubt it would be of any help it's just a few short lines of numbers on each crash...I have purposely crashed my computer about 2 times to check if error logs popup and to see what is crashing the flash player but nothing changes in the crash log..
So to sum my problems up into a short paragraph....newest flash player crashes my computer when I go on webcam/webchat/certain websites with flash videos on it, also if I right click and try to tamper with the settings it also crashes my computer...I would like to know if there's a possible fix for this or will there be another update released anytime soon?
Please help and thank you for all future responses I will continue to use older versions of flash player till this problem is resolved, also on my newer i-7 620 processor 5850 ati laptop it crashes but rarely although I can use my webcam on msn on that computer but this is one has problems....Sorry I wasn't able to respond for a while I work two jobs so I really don't have time for this although I would still like to get this solved very much.
In the event viewer all it says is that there was an unexpected shut down.
I have checked and updated everything on both computers I tried to disable hardware acceleration and that still didn't change anything.
Sometimes when I try to just right click on a flash player and change the settings it crashes, if I try to load certain pages it crashes, if I try to use a webcam chat on a webcam site it crashes. Though I can still view other people's webcams in chat ex: tinychat I could be in there chatting away with some friends from across country and nothing will happen until I click webcam and flash player asks to allow, it will crash if I try to right click anywhere and that little flash settings popup it crashes.
All of this happens when I use the most current version of flash player any other previous version will not crash when doing any of this although I can't use my webcam since the website is running an updated version which is why I would like to get this problem fixed.
The new firefox update didn't help at all it still just freezes. There is no blue screen, no crash error report, no event log. The event viewer just says it was shut down unexpectedly.
I also tried uninstalling all webcam applications unplugging my webcam and that didn't affect it at all. I've done everything that people have been doing on here to solve there problems, I used the search button and tried options from various threads but none work for me.
I can do everything normally that requires flash player like play games, watch videos, and other stuff but it just crashes when I do those certain things as stated above. It's weird that there is no log, no anything just a freeze and I can't do anything to the computer i've tried letting it sit for about 15 minutes but it didn't respond. I used ctrl alt del after a while, alt tab, alt f4, holding down certain keys, holding the power button in for a while and nothing will happen. It just sits frozen untill I unplug it.
Is there anything I can do to get an error log of the crash since event viewer isn't working? -
Mess with accounts in OneNote and OneDrive for Business - can't open documents from Office 365
Hello!
[Reposted from
here]
I've got Office 365 subscription (E3) with Office.
I can view and edit OneNote notebooks on Office 365 via browser, but can't open it in OneNote.
The similar problem exists for OneDrive for Business - some libraries are syncing, some cannot - asking for Enter credentials, but when I click - nothing happens.
There were two accounts bound to Office 2013 - personal Microsoft ID as primary account and corporate Office 365 linked to it.
Windows 8.1 corporate profile is linked to Microsoft ID account as well.
Something happen with these accounts after password was changed - it seems like some account information was cached and can't be cleaned.
I tried to uninstall Office and install it - no success.
I cleaned computer with
this utility from Support - no luck.
On other Windows 8.1 computer I created new profile (with Microsoft ID account) - surprise, there are problems there as well.
I deleted all Office15 entries from Credentials Manager - Office asked me about Office 365 login/password - I entered them, it is syncing, Haliluja, but, when Microsoft ID account was linked to Office 365 account in Office - problem appears again.
It seems that Office 2013 uses Microsoft ID credentials for Office 365 content.
I'd like to use Microsoft ID as primary account for Office and link Office 365 account to it, but don't want such problems. It worked fine, but I don't know what happened and how it can be analyzed and fixed.
Update: It seems I localized the problem, but still don't know the solution.
Scenario to reproduce error for me:
1. Create fresh new Corporate/Domain user profile on Windows 8.1 with Office Pro 365 installed on computer with latest updates
2. Go to SharePoint Online and browse some Libraries and OneNote notebooks - all ok
3. Start to sync them using OneNote and OneDrive for Business - ok
4. Link Microsoft Account with Corporate Account in Windows 8.1 - ok
5. Syncing of _some_ (not all) Office 365 libraries and notebooks stop working - errors with access, permissions. I'm trying to enter credentials but this doesn't help
6. Disconnect Microsoft Account and Reboot - all libraries and notebooks of Office 365 work fine again. But OneNote notebooks from OneDrive stop working :)
How I can fix this situation and have Microsoft and Corporate account connected?Update 2:
I installed PowerShell for SharePoint online cmdlets and found this user using get-SPOUser.
I removed this user using remove-SPOUser -site
https://mysitename.sharepoint.com -LoginName
[email protected]
but when I'm trying to access sharepoint from the browser with Microsoft account credentials - new record for this user is created again and I can see it with get-SPOUser :(
So, problem is still not solved - this user is still can be authenticated (there is no such user in SharePoint site collection, there is no such user profile) and Office 2013 syncing doesn't work for Office 365 due this mess with accounts.
I know that I can remove Sharing with external users from Site Collection and information about these users will be permanently deleted - but I don't want to do this, there are several customers who work with our documents. -

If the CD absolutely requires that old version, then it is basically obsolete. However, it might work with the current version ... have you installed the current version of Adobe Reader, and if so what does it say when you try to use the CD?
