Adobe reader comes packed with two other programs

I've downloaded Adobe Reader and its working just fine. The problem is, it seems to have downloaded two other programs with it: Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Air. Do I want these programs? What are they? Also, when I try to open Adobe Acrobat I continually have a box that comes up that says "Unfortunately Acrobat could not connect to the server to complete your action." So, do I want Acrobat? and if so, how do I make it connect to the server to register itself?

Read about AIR at
http://www.adobe.com/products/air/everyone/
and acrobat.com (not to be confused with Adobe Acrobat, which is a
program for making and editing PDF files) at
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat.com/Acrobat/
You probably don't need them, but I shouldn't worry about them being
there. I've found acrobat.com useful for file sharing.

  • When downloading adobe reader the adobe reader icon takes over all other icons on the desktop.

    When I try to download adobe reader, it downloads, but the adobe icon replaces all of the other icons on my desktop and changes the programs to adobe reader.  Is there anything I can do to download adobe reader without it affecting my other programs and their desktop icons?

    Hi there,

    Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.

  • I cannot open photo's stored in my i photo library to edit in Photoshop Elements.  Adobe comes up with the message program error. I use a Macbook Air.

    No, that is done deliberately, since letting other programs poke around in the iphoto library is the fastest known way to corrupt it and make it wither up and die, along with your photos. If you want to use PSE with iphoto you have two choices:
    1. Set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from iphoto. Edit them, then save without changing the name or format and iphoto will remember your last saved edits + original, although you have to lose the edits to see the original again. You may need to set the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing to make this work.
    2. Export the photos from iphoto, use file>open in PSE, make all the changes of any sort that you like, save the file, and import it to iphoto as a new file.

    Hello Meg, the phone allowed me to stay on long enough to download a new app but then shut down the app centre and returned to the home screen.
    Was there a specific "fix App" for this?

  • How come the volume of other programs are lowered while one FaceTime? I exchange media with friends and colleagues and I can barely hear anything. There should be a way we can manually control the volume of different programs

    I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
    But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
    iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
    This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
    Also see this , -> Download past purchases
    and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
    Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
    Actually, no it does not tell you that.
    FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

  • Adobe Reader 10.1 with some problems

    To Technical support,
    Dear sirs,
    I have some problems with Adobe Reader version 10.1.
    Once installed Adobe Reader, version 10.0, I found the problems listed below:
    When I open Adobe Reader 10.1, and check the "Task Manager" (Ctrl + Alt + Del), the process appears Adobe Open twice, taking increasing a lot of memory space.
    When attempting to view the following pages, Adobe Reader closes or crashes by itself, and can not continue.
    I have already installed it in other computers but the problem remains.
    What can be done to not happen anymore?
    Working with Technical Documentation
    PS. I'm using this version because of the tools to highlight text and make notes.
    thanks
    yours sincerely,

  • I have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3

    i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
    the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread: 
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
    (Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
    his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
    basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage.  in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
     let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to. 
    now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm.  now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller!  it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch.  so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right.  i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
    i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4

    Hi Josh,
    Thanks for taking the time to contact us here a Novation for technical support. Lets continue to correspond via email so we can get your issue resolved.
    Thanks.

    Is it the Download assistant that is freezing or is it the web browser that freezes?

    Gotta love Google.
    More helpful than Adobe so far.
    Note: Clicking on the link below will immediately open the download dialogue box.

    Thanks everyone who contributed ideas and potential solutions.

    It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
    The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

  • I have an icloud account with two other users besides myself.  We share the same game center.  We want our own. My two children want their own Clash of Clans account!  What do I do?

    I have an icloud account with two other users besides myself.  We share the same game center.  We want our own. My two children want their own Clash of Clans account!  What do I do?

    Log out of Gamecenter and try downloading CoC again. if it doesn't prompt you with a new village, try downloading with a different apple id. if that doesn't work, you would need a new device to create a new village and transferring it to your sons device using the code in the CoC settings.

  • Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

    Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?
    I changed the about:config to make the rotate gesture move between tabs, and it worked great for well over a year. Now it behaves erratically as described here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598
    It used to be very controllable to move one tab over, now it is erratic and moves quickly and to unexpected tabs regardless of how slow I do the rotate gesture. This is the main reason I use Firefox over Chrome and I would like to continue to do so unless there is no fix to this.

    Just set the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.
