Am I the only one feeling stupid?

I just got my brand new laptop with Windows 7 pre-installed.  Everything is brand new with some impressing specs. Hmmm.
I am attempting to download my copy of Acrobat Reader without sucess.
1.  I have installed this on my previous pc and subsequently uninstalled it because I only use my new PC now.  Does it matter that I have downloaded it before?
2.  After logging on to my account, the download is still available to be downloaded via the download manager.  I follow all the correct steps and a window pops up that says download starting... Nothing happens.  After having spent hours looking up troubleshooting solutions, I disabled every bit of protection to help with the download process.....Still nothing.
Can anyone please help me?

I've never had any problems with mine ever. The only freeze I've had was from a file I recorded on tivo, cut commericals out in movie maker and then re-encoded to the lowest possible bit rate that that zens nati've resolution supports. Try turning your sensitivity in the touch pad down. Sometimes if you have it up to high you may have a chance of doing that (although I have only had slow response, instead of a freeze by doing that).
You also have to compare to all of the other products out there: Ipod and Zune are a lot worse with pathetic little problems (annoyances). I didn't pay for tech support?

  • Am I the Only One Feeling Let Down by Creati

    I personally believe that I'm not the only one let down by Creative's recent products and support. I was the guy who'd always go around telling other people "Why get an iPod? Everyone has one, they use proprietary connectors for everything, the battery life sucks, and you get to twiddle your thumbs clockwise and counterclockwise as you go up and down."
    But not anymore.
    And no I'm not talking about boycotting apple here, I'm talking about Creative.
    I'll start off by providing a little background information about myself. I've always been heavily into music and movies. My computer consists of a Soundblaster Audigy 2 soundcard, and 600gb of RAID 0 hard dri've space. All used for games, music, and movies.
    I always loved my Soundblaster cards, even my Soundblaster li've. Then someone showed me something amazing, a 30Gb Creative MP3 player. I think it was the Zen Ztra, I'm not sure, it was a long time ago. Soon as I saw that baby I fell in love with it. It had just 0Gb less than the harddri've of the computer I owned at the time, the sound quality was amazing, and it was very easy to use.
    A good time after that, I decided to finally buy an MP3 player of my own after using a Sony ATRAC3 plus CD player for so long for my music. I went to the store and the only thing I could think of was that it had to be a Creative MP3 player. That day I ended up shelling out about 400 bucks for a 20gb Creative Zen Touch. I was wishing I found the 40gb version after that but for the amount of music I had at the time it worked very well.
    I think I owned that MP3 player for at leas 2 years or so without any problems or freezes before someone finally stole it from me. I guess that's what I get for lending it to my girlfriend but thats a different story. She agreed to buy me a new one right away. I Think she knew how much I loved creative products at the time (and how much I hated iPods) that she decided to get me a Creative MP3 player of course. She ended up getting one that I was looking at online for quite a while. The Creative Zen Vision: M, the 60gb model.
    I was a little disappointed that the battery life was nowhere near as impressi've as my old MP3 player, but with 60Gb, a gorgeous color screen, video playback, a better touchpad than the iPod (In my own opinion), and better battery life than an iPod (actual fact), I couldn't find much else not to like.
    Of course, in less than a week I started getting nothing but problems.
    While I was away on a trip the MP3 player froze twice. I had to stop at a nearby store to borrow a paperclip to reset it. The second time it froze was when the battery was getting low. After I reset it again the next screen showed "Low Battery" so I shut it off. I guess Creative thinks that everyone likes to carry a desktop computer with them when they go on trips, or that they've added enough problems to the player that they wont use up all the power till they get back. The only way you can charge it without a computer is by buying a battery charger separately, something which was included in a lot of earlier products.
    Not being able to find a "Creative" charger, I bought one designed to charge any USB device. I plugged it in, and all I got was a flashing blue light for 24 hours, which was when I finally decided to call it quits. No matter what I did it wouldn't turn on, the reset button did nothing, and all I got was a flashing blue light.
    I get home a few days later (without any good music to listen to on the way home) and plug it into my PC and get the same problem. All of this after the recommended firmware update mind you.
    I decided to do some reading on the creative forums to try and solve a problem the majority of Zen Vision and other product owners are experiencing. All I found in the forums was a large group of disappointed individuals. The only posts made by Creative staff were regarding refraining from dropping F bombs. Apparently you even have to pay for tech support?! Is this some kind of sick joke?
    The message I'm getting from this is that creative is purposely making defecti've products, not only to save money, but also make money from all the people needing tech support.
    It wouldn't surprise me if this post was deleted simply because Creative doesn't like having to face facts. Anyways, sorry for the long post, but I felt it necessary to help vent out my frustration with a company I always looked up to.
    After this experience, I will be refraining from buying any more Creative products until they clean up their problems. I'd like to hear from other people as well. I'll be boycotting this company, who's with me?

  • I consider release 28 the last of the good releases. Am I the only one that feels this way or are there others?

    Release 28 was the last version that allowed us to add toolbars, put icons on new and old toolbars and truly customizing the browsers for our use. Other things like separate the search window and the URL window of different toolbars to make the use faster.
    Sooner or later, I know I will have to upgrade if this "dumbing down" continues, or try to find another browser but I have been on this browser almost since I left Netscape and started using Firefox many, many years ago.
    Most I know hate Google, Chrome for its "clean" look, that is, removing options and hiding command icons so we have to hunt for them. But, it looks like the developers of FF used to work on IE or Chrome as now I can not tell much difference. What you can see is way TOO simple and hidden.
    Am I alone in this feeling of FF going in the wrong direction? The other browsers have "dumbed" down theirs for the novice or people that use only email but not the serious users like the FF user.
    IF I am the only one, then I will go away and try to keep up with these "dumbed down", clean, blank, versions.

    This is a support forum, designed to provide one-on-one help with specific questions.
    You certainly are not the only person who likes various aspects of the earlier user interface, as you can tell from the popularity of the Classic Theme Restorer extension. If you haven't already explored it, you can learn more about it in this article: [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]].

  • When actualized my iphone 4s to ios 6.0.1 music crash with or without phones. Apparently I'm not the only one with this issue

    when actualized my iphone 4s to ios 6.0.1 music crash with or without phones. Apparently I'm not the only one with this issue

         Hi Michael! Thanks for the reply
         I live in Norway, and the phone has been either provided by a Norwegian carrier, or bought unlocked from the Norwegian Apple Store. You can check yourself by going to Settings-General-About-Model and type the model number (MC133KN in my case) here: http://iphonefrom.com/en/MC133KN  But it`s unlocked, I placed a Lebara SIM in it and it works perfectly.
         If it has been carrier-locked then most(if not all) Norwegian carriers are selling the phones on a 12 months subscription contract. When the 12 months are up, the phone is being unlocked by the carrier either automatically, or upon customer`s request(depends which carrier you use).
         It`s good to hear that your 3GS works well with the iOS 6, still after having read about issues after upgrade I have a feel that the upgrade to iOS 6 may be a hit or miss.
         I read on a forum that early iPhones can only support 3 major upgrades. Can that be true?

  • Am I the only one that thinks iTunes slows everything down?

    Maybe my computer is just very slow, but I feel like itunes is terrible in terms of memory usage. Every time I start it, it takes forever to boot and slows everything else down. Even if my computer is slow, this is a fault in the program as others don't have this effect... Anyone have feedback?

    There's not much in iTunes that would slow the boot process of your computer, since the support processes (Mobile Device Support and Bonjour are the only ones I can think of that start at boot, though I may be forgetting one or two others) that iTunes uses don't start until late in the boot process. So I doubt that all your performance problems stem from iTunes. But you can try uninstalling iTunes - it shouldn't remove your content, but make sure you have a good backup just in case something goes wrong - and see if matters improve. That way you'll know for sure. Alternatively you can try just stopping, or uninstalling, the background processes and see if that makes any difference.
    Another possibility is your system's security software, which might be blocking or delaying the launch of some components.
    FWIW, I haven't seen any change in the performance of either my Windows XP nor Windows 7 systems after installation of iTunes.
    Regards.

  • Am I the only one who likes iOS 6?

    No issues at all with wireless connectivity, I hardly ever used the YouTube app, I kind of like the new maps app, no change in battery depletion rate, and I enjoy all the other tweaks. Love having Siri on my iPad. The only thing to complain about is the change in the way the apostrophe and quote mark short cuts work.
    Am I the only one who didn't have any issues upgrading and likes the new OS?

    I was very happy with iOS 6...  Until I started using it.  On iPhone 4S and iPad 2 - nothing but problems. App Store, notification center, iMessage and safari all buggy.  Notification center just disappears on 4s. Just not there.  I restart it, fine for awhile, and then gone again. Msgs are all messed up. Freezes up, get wierd duplicate screen that freezes in place, and the scrolling is behind it, so can't read msgs. Restart app doesn't fix, but restart phone does. But then it happens again.  Links in mail starts to open safari page, then gets stuck.  Things that were previously clickable no longer are (that one is weird). Hangs, Wally really slow loading (and I am on 100mb down). It no longer wants to play nice with my atv3 either (but then again my atv3 has always been junk, my two atv2's have been flawless).   App Store ***** now - cant read any reviews other than the first three or four it shows (and what happened to sorting the reviews?!?!?). Hangs, freezes.vvhate that podcasts were removed from music app, personally. Wat happened to my 30 sec rewind in music?!?!?  Yu take away my music rewind but add a 10 sec rewind to podcasts!?  Dumb. And the podcast app is wonky.  But it has been since intro.
    Nope. 6 is not polished. At all. It feels like a Microsoft release really. Rushed, great ideas with terrible carry thru.
    Why apple, why?!?!?!?!?!?!?

  • Am i the only one who when trying to enter the code for creative cloud activation ?

    I give up,i have been trying to activate a 3 month subscription for CS6 from Staples and every time i try the code it will not work.  I have used the chat live and spent about 3 hours already going nowhere.  I do not like talking on the phone to some help desk overseas and the only thing i think left to do is to return the junk.

    I tried all that and even took a picture of the numbers and blew them up so a blind person could read them and had 3 others read them off.  A simple way to fix the problem is get someone on Adobes staff to find a font that most people can read from whatever product the stick it to.

    Hey John,
    Not sure if it helps or not, but I know sometimes with codes like that its really hard to tell certain characters apart, O - like in Oscar versus 0 - number and number 1 versus lowercase L like in Lima.
    Might test entering it both ways if you have any suspect characters?

  • When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my account keeps popping up on his phone. How can we change the ID on his phone?

    When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my apple ID email address keeps popping up on his phone when he tries to download an app. We do not want to have all of the same apps on our phones. How can we change the ID on his phone? I already tried going to Settings>iTunes &App Store> and changing the Apple ID to his account email and that did not solve the problem. To make things worse, I recently changed my Apple ID email address (without getting a new ID) and I do not remember my old password (and this is the address that is popping up on his phone). He does not have any music on his phone and all of the Apps that he has are free.  Any help you could offer would be great (-:

    All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.

  • HT2506 After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer

    After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer anymore. Any ideas would be helpful thanks

    Merely clicking the Preview icon in the Dock doesn't cause it to open anything, unless you had one or more windows open the last time it quit.
    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    3. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    4. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • Leopard printing problems on several printers (Am I the only one?)

    Since installing Leopard shortly after it was released, I've had flakiness with printing:
    - With Tiger, when I printed, I could open the printer's window, and see the print job queued. The job would finish, disappear from the window, and everything would be fine.
    - When the job was printing, the printer icon would appear in the Dock. When the job was done, the icon would disappear from the Dock. Simple.
    With Leopard, printing has worked, but I have never seen a print job appear in a PrinterProxy window. I print, the printer outputs the job, and PrinterProxy is always blank. The printer icon appears in the Dock, and stays there forever. I found that I could ctrl-click on the icon and select the Auto Quit option (Hooray!), but that only worked for a while. Then the icons started staying in the Dock again. When I click on the Dock, there is no more Auto Quit option... just the "Application Not Responding" message. I have to force quit Printer Proxy after every time I print.
    What's stranger is how long it takes for the PrinterProxy app to start up. The icon in the Dock bounces for well over a minute. Sometimes, the job finishes printing before the app is launched. If I switch between apps using Cmd-Tab, I can select the PrinterProxy app, but it never actually displays; instead, I just revert to the current window.
    This is true for every printer I use, and as a traveling consultant, I use several. It is true whether I am printing via Airport, or over a direct Internet or USB connection.
    The printers that are permanently in my Printer List are:
    Canon i9100
    Brother MFC-8840
    Epson Stylus Photo 220
    HP LaserJet 1320N
    HP LaserJet 8800
    HP LaserJet 6570
    HP Color LaserJet 5550
    Adobe PDF 8.0
    All of these have the same problems. What's worse is, when I have a printing problem, there is no way to diagnose it, since the print jobs never show up in the PrinterProxy.
    I have reset my printing system many times. I have deleted and re-added my printers many times. I have downloaded drivers from the manufacturer's sites, and reinstalled Leopard's default drivers. Nothing makes a difference. Strangely, after updating to 10.5.2, the Auto Quit problem went away for awhile, then returned spontaneously.
    At the thread below, I show some of my system and crash logs from a prior discussion. Someone was helping me with the problem, but after asking me to post my logs, he seems to have dropped off the thread.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7013209#7013209
    I can't believe this problem is endemic to Leopard. I know many people who seem to use Leopard without any problems at all. (They even print once in a while!) And yet, as a fairly advanced user, I can't believe I'm the only one having this problem! My system is pretty plain vanilla, with no weird mods, hacks or apps. Pretty much just straightforward creative and productivity apps. I use it daily for business, so I try to keep all wacky stuff off of it.
    There must be a solution, short of doing a clean install. Can anyone help? Are there PrinterProxy-related files I can delete when I reset the Printer System that might help resolve this? Prefs?
    Thanks,
    David

    I'm having exactly the same problem with a Lexmark C760.
    When I inspect the Activity Monitor while opening the Printer Icon from the Dock (or press the Button "Open Print Queue" in the "Print & Fax" System Preferences), I can see the Printer Icon as "Printer Proxy (Not Responding)" marked in red in the processes list. The Dock icon bounces for quite a while, and after about 2 minutes, a Printer List actually appears under the PrinterProxy application and the process in Activity Monitor changes its name to "(null)" and its color to black.
    Though there is no entry in the PrinterProxy list when I print something from another application while keeping the window open, I can select "Supply Levels" and the correct information appears, so it seems to be functional.
    It also seems that there are several copies of the drivers remaining, as the application in the Dock is named "Lexmark C760 (4)", probably from my attempts to remove and reinstall the driver. Is there some interference with old installations of the drivers that still lurk somewhere, hidden in the depth of the many libraries? How can I get rid of the previously installed drivers for good?

  • Am I the only one with these various problems...??

    Hi all,
    I start my first post and introduction ever on this forum with a imposing problem with Aperture 3.03
    I just did the upgrade to Aperture 3 & 3.03. Coming off Aperture 2, I was able to rotate, crop and do all the things I wanted by just placing the pointer while clicking, holding, and moving all at the same time with no issues. With Aperture 3.03, no such luck. I've noticed that now if I want to rotate an image or even crop an image the first effort to move anything is ignored. It shows all the signs of being ready to move something, but nothing happens, nothing moves on first try. If I stop the click and place click the second time it is responsive as usual....What gives???
    Here is another issue. Cropping is all over the place and never right on the first try. Even if I have a set aspect ratio it does not provide me with the one I selected. I'm always getting the wrong aspect ratio even though the right one is selected. If I pick "Master Aspect Ratio", I get a variable ratio instead of a fixed ratio??? If I click again it changes again. This program is not stable!!
    One other thing has anyone noticed that you cannot use the arrow keys to move from one picture to another after editing the photo?? It is happening to me. If I complete an edit and want to move to the next photo, the program will not respond to key commands in any way. I'm forced to return to Browser mode and even then it seems hit or miss whether is responds to key commands again. navigating seems to be a big impediment when actively editing.
    So, am I the only one with these problems???
    Lets hear your story...
    Note: just installed the newest stability update for Snow Leopard/Aperture 3 just made available on August 18, 2010. No change...
    Steve,

    I don't see any of these issues! You have listed several, disconnected issues. Perhaps you should pick one of them, and give us a blow-by-blow of your action steps.
    For rotation, click that button at the bottom of the View window, and then use one of the [ or ] bracket keys as listed for direction.

  • Am I the ONLY one in the world with this problem!??

    before I downloaded twhirl, i upgraded to most current
    version of Adobe Air (1.5.1) from (1.5.0). It actually occcurred to
    me that i had never used adobe air before, eventhough i´ve had
    it installed for ages.
    i cannot run twhirl-0.9.air because the extension is not
    registered. being no newbie, i tried to manually register the
    extension but i cannot find an adobe air executable in Program
    Files>Adobe Air. So i started to search on how to fix the
    problem, and took at two approaches. I spent 5 minutes trying to
    find the location of the adobe air executable, and i spend ONE
    FREAKING HOUR trying to find a solution using queries similar to
    ["adobe air" extension association .air] on google. NO relevant
    results come up AT ALL. Am I the only one with this problem? how
    about a solution? Which file do I associate the extension .air
    with???????
    as a bonus WTF, i dare someone to show me a query on google
    that points to a solution to this problem within the first 20
    results, and if you find this solution WITHIN adobe.com support i
    will paypal you USD$5.
    thanks in advance
    windows vista ultimate on x32

    The Adobe AIR Application Installer is in Program
    Files/Common Files/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/.
    If you right click on an AIR file and choose the above file
    to open it, that should fix the problem.
