All icons show as Adobe

Im not sure what I did but all of the icons on my desktop and startup menu are showing as Adobe and I cannot open anything. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall Adobe but my computer will not allow me to uninstall. I have tried to run multiple system mechanic type programs thinking it may be a virus because I have not changed any settings and they have all been unsuccessfull. Anyone with any suggestions please let me know... I've reached the end of my rope with this thing. Thanks a ton!

Reader 9.1.3 update changes all icons to Adobe

The other day when Adobe Reader "automatically" updated all of the program icons were changed over Adobe icons and nothing would open up, other than an attempt to open up in Adobe Reader (obviously without success. I finally uninstalled Reader and all icons magically returned to normal and all was right with the world until I tried to open a .pdf file (obviously without success as I now had no Reader!). I tried to download the program again this morning and had the same issue all over again. I once again had to uninstall Reader (it's not easy when EVERYprogram file you have now seems to be associated with Adobe Reader and some of them were startup programs!!! I actually had to go into msconfig to shut them down and then reboot before uninstalling Reader. I wasn't impressed!!). I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (currently up to date courtesy of Microsoft (?)) and I do have Adobe Acrobat Standard Ver 8 Standard. Does anyone have any ideas here? What's going on? I have seen a number of others with this same problem on both Adobe and Microsoft forums, but so far no solutions.

Solution 1: Registry fix
Disclaimer: The registry contains system-related information that is critical to your computer and applications. Before modifying the registry, be sure to make a backup copy of it (Win 7, Win Vista). Adobe doesn't provide support for problems that can arise from improperly modifying the registry. Adobe strongly recommends that you have experience editing system files before you modify the registry. For information on the Windows Registry Editor, see the documentation for Windows or contact Microsoft Technical Support.
Apply the applicable registry fixes available at the following links:
Download and save the applicable file: For Win Vista or Win 7.
Unzip/Extract the contents (.REG file) to desktop.
Make sure you have administrative privileges. Then, right-click on the .REG file and select Merge.
Restart the machine.
If issue persists, Implement Solution 2.
Solution 2: Force a refresh of the icon cache.
In order to refresh the shell icons, follow these steps:
Click Start, Default Programs.
Click ‘Set your default programs’.
Select a web browser, email client or any other item in the list.
Click the ‘Set this program as default’ button.
Click OK.
If issue still persists, then reboot and check.
Solution 3: Purge and rebuild the IconCache.db file.
Method 1:
Show Hidden Files and Folders: Vista; Wndows 7.
Browse to ‘C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local’ folder and delete the hidden IconCache.db file.
Reboot.
If issue persists, repeat Solution 2.
Method 2:
Using Command Prompt:
Close all folder windows that are currently open.
Launch Task Manager using the CTRL+SHIFT+ESC key sequence, or by running taskmgr.exe.
In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
Click the End process button when asked for confirmation.
From the File menu of Task Manager, select New Task (Run…)
Type CMD.EXE, and click OK
In the Command Prompt window, type the commands one by one and press ENTER after each command:
CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
DEL IconCache.db /a
EXIT
In Task Manager, click File, select New Task (Run…)
Type EXPLORER.EXE, and click OK.
Reboot.
If issue persists, repeat Solution 2.
Solution 4: Create a new local Administrator user account and test the issue.

My iphone doesnt want to start.all it shows is the apple icon.nothing more.i have tried holding the home button together with the lock button.what can i do .thanks

my iphone 4 doesnt want to start . all it shows is the apple icon.i have tried holding the home button together with the lock button. nothing seems to work . please help.

Plug the iPhone in with the Wall Charger. Then while plugged in do the Reset again, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone Restarts. This usually begins to happen in less than 20 seconds time.
If you this does not work you can try to Restore the Firmware on your iPhone. If you decide to do this, connect your iPhone to your computer with iTunes open. Hold both the Home and Power buttons until the iPhone is detected by iTunes in Recovery Mode, this takes about 20 seconds time. Restore your iPhone.
If this does not work, you can try to Restore the Firmware on your iPhone in DFU Mode. Connect your iPhone to your computer with iTunes open. Hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release the Power Button and keep holding the Home Button until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode, about 20 seconds more time. Restore the iPhone.
If this does not work and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take your iPhone to Apple for resolution of the problem.

Your only option at this point is to connect the device to a computer running iTunes so you can restore it.

App Store icon shows updates available, but all apps up to date

Just bought Iphone 5c, second day, App store icon shows updates available, but PC, store and other Iphones show none. Tried resetting, updates to ios 8.02, synching, going through each app individually to see if there is an update, no luck.
Wnen I reset, the icon shows a badge with 7 updates available. I opened App Store, bottom right (update icon) showed the same. Tapped it, the update screen appears (as normal), and the 7 on the update icon disappeared, screen says UPDATES All apps are up to date. However, on the home screen, the App store badge still shows 7 updates.
Anyone else having the same prob? What is the fix?

Tried that, tries a soft reset, and a hard reset, no luck. Funny thing is, my other iphones and IPad work fine, its just the Iphone 5.

I have a big problem, I don't know what I touched but when I open up my iTunes I can't see all the icons. The only icons showing are "podcast, iTunes U and Downloads" so in other words I can't find the movies, music etc. Which means I can't buy/rent!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Mail icon shows new mail but all mail has been read. Won't update with phone reset.

My mail icon shows new mail (1 currently) but I have no new mail. I have synced phone and turned off several times to no avail.

If you have reset your phone several times and does not fix , then restore your phone in itunes from your backup. Be sure that you have a recent backup with all items that you wanted saved, synced.
BEFORE, you do the restore, try deleting the mail account and reaading it and see if that fixes the issue, otherwise , then do the restore.

All icons show as Adobe
