Adobe download has altered all my file names

Help! I thought that I had downloaded an up to date version of Adobe, but it appears to have altered all my files- now everything on my desktop is displayed with an Adobe name. How can I reverse this?

Hi:
My recommendation would be to use the Windows system restore utility, and select a restore point to a time before you installed the adobe update.
Here is a short guide on how to use it.

Make sure that if you install that update again that you don't allow adobe to open by default any other files but PDF ones.
The reason all of your icons now show adobe is because adobe reader or whatever is set as the default program to open any kind of application you have.

Is there a way to list all the file names (automatically) in a folder to dynamic text box?

Hi,
I would like to know whether FLASH AS3 has some option to get all the files names from a folder specified and show it in a dynamic text box? Whenever some new files added to this folder it should update the list accordingly.
Thanks for any information in this regard.

Not particularly experienced in this field myself, but I've found its just easier to implement an XML file which lists the contents of the folder. It just means that when you upload a new file you have to add it to the list in the xml file also. No real hardship once you figure out the mechanics of it

My music files etc were all located on my old laptop which was stolen. I have just plugged my iphone in to my new computer and it has deleted all my files. Has anybody got any ideas on how to retrieve the files?

Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."
Navigate to the Music folder. On my 'pod, the full path is
Portable Media Devices\NAME of IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music
Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.
And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized."
might be out of date worth a try

Once 10.9.1 is loaded onto my MacBook Pro and it has accessed all my files; is there anyway to back out of the relationship? I don't want my data on iCloud - how do I make that happen? Many thanks for any help.

Sorry but I know of no way of not backing up for a PC.

My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

My itunes library has duplicated "ALL" my files with their individual iclouds. How do I delete them all in one single swipe rather than delete each one individually?

Try Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. With luck it should be OK if you turn it on again.

Windows 7, when adobe downloaded and installed all desktop and taskbar icons become adobe icons, why

Windows 7 operating system, when Adobe downloaded and installed all desktop and task bar icons have the Adobe icon and will not open, why does this happen?

to answer your questions, i) tried installing both
ii) Tried 9 and 10
iii) Free version of both
iv) No!
I turned off the anti virus but the same thing happened, I'm getting tired of downloading and then having to uninstall Adobe. There must be an answer, something on the computer is not right. I had problems with a CD drive my computer stopped reading it, Replaced the CD burner and it still would not read, took it to be repaired and was a faulty registry which the guy at the shop fixed but the problem with adobe is only since I had the computer fixed last week or is this just a coincidence?

HT4528 For the second time in two weeks, my 4s has lost all my contact names. The phone numbers are still there, but every last name has disapeared. What is happening?

For the second time in two weeks, my Iphone 4s has lost all my contact names. The phone numbers still remain without any of the names, What is causing this to happen?

1. I assume that that suggests that it is not normal for a browser window to respond with minimisation? It is just weird when a window just disappears, no reason given (and since there is no obvious loss of internet it can take you by chance)
2. Good that you ask. No, it hasn't. I meant to say when I first posted.
3. Thanks, I gather that. It is just that Mavericks is so different from what I am used to. Sigh...
4. It has calmed down but there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to it. Forgot to mention that I had my first ever crash of Final Cut Pro since I have been using it nearly daily for four years. I even had Chrome crash on me in mid-upload (drat, drat, drat!). I don't click or plough on- I stop, think and consider. Hence me posting. Mavericks is just not as "smooth" as Snow Leopard to me.
5. Yes, I understand. I just wish it would show me both instead of just the one with the "1".
Tell me about it! It is impossible, I came here to answer via the link in the emailed notification, was already signed out and signed in and was returned to the front page. Had to go back to my Mail, click the link again and this time, luckily, I was signed in. In other words- the session is impossibly short and signing in doesn't return you to the browser window you were but rather returns you to the front. Meh.

All project file names changed to "filename.logicx" file type iDVD 2

I did the upgrade and suddenly every single logic project has defaulted to "filename.logicx" with the File type iDVD 2.
I'm somewhat terrified to alter the file names and I'm totally baffled why this would happen.
HELP

when saving as a project doesn't rename anything,it just makes your life easier and places everything in one folder with subfolders of your audio files,and whatever you have selected to be included in your project folder.
what you mean by song 10 audio?
Press A on your keyboard>Set Audio object record path window will appear you can type the name there under file name ,when done with recording your audio will have the name you typed in there.
or you can select the text tool after recording,select the tool and click on the region you just recorded,
you can also click on the regions parameter's box name and type the name you want your audio file to have

How to alter 'add to file names' script?

I'm working on some stuff that I need to get done today, and it dawned on me that I could save a lot of time if I had a certain script perform a simple task for me. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get one to work right. I just want to be able to add the same thing onto the end of a file name... For instance, 01.jpg would become 01x.jpg, 02.jpg becomes 02x.jpg and so on. The basic 'Add to File Names' script will almost work, but it adds to the front of the name, not the back. Does anyone know how I could alter the lines in that script to get it to do what I want?
Thanks for any help,
Dave

01. Under 'Alternative 01:', the line ...
No error checking for folders is included. Such is an exercise for the student.
... should have been ...
--No error checking for folders is included. Such is an exercise for the student.
02. The error message ...
"System Events got an Error: NSCannotCreateScriptCommandError".
Hmmm, those replying are using MacOS X 10.4.x, and you are using MacOS X 10.2.x. Others, with Macs running MacOS X 10.2.x and using AppleScript code from MacOS X 10.3.x and later, do at times experience 'NSCannotCreateScriptCommandError' error messages.
In the code below, 'System Events' was replaced with 'Finder'. Some additional editing was performed, where required.
Alternative 01:
property tAddition : "x" -- The charcter or string to append to the files' name.
tell application "Finder"
set tSelection to selection
--No error checking for folders is included. Such is an exercise for the student.
repeat with i in tSelection -- Cycle through the provided files.
set {displayed_name, name_Extension} to {displayed name of (i as alias), name extension of (i as alias)}
if ((displayed_name ends with name_Extension) and ((count name_Extension) > 0)) then
-- Handle file names which include a name extension.
set (name of i) to ((get (characters 1 through ((count displayed_name) - (count name_Extension) - 1) of displayed_name) as string) & tAddition & "." & name_Extension)
else
set (name of i) to (displayed_name & tAddition) -- Handle file names without a name extension.
end if
end repeat
end tell
Save the AppleScript code as a script.
Move file (or a copy or alias of the file) to the '~/Library/Scripts/' folder.
Select files to be processed, in 'Finder'.
Select the script, via the 'Script menu'.
Alternative 02:
property tAddition : "x" -- The charcter or string to append to the files' name.

Save the AppleScript code as an applet (application).
Drag files to be processed, onto the applet, in 'Finder'.

Downloads window is blank, shows file name but doesn't show up speed, percentage of download etc.

When I start downloading something, the Downloads window opens normally & also shows what is being downloaded. But, it doesn't show downloading percentage, downloading speed. (all things which usually show up below the name of file). But when minimized, I can see percentage.

Worked for me too. options->options->privacy->remember download history
