Any Adobe techs here?  Please Help!!!

HELP! Captivate 4 won't start when disconnected from my network.
Captivate 4 is installed onto my C: drive.  All Captivate files are on this drive.  In fact, I've tried installing it while connected to my network AND installing it while disconnected from my network... the same problem exists.  As long as I am connected to my network, Captivate will open.  However, if I am not connected to my network, Captivate will not open.
I sometimes, not always, get a message stating   Runtime error 217 at 004D5C7B
Other times a window opens stating:
Adobe Captivate has stopped working.  Windows can check online for a solution to the problem the next time you go online.
Windows never seems to do that, though.  In the same window, under Problem Details, it says:
Problem Signature:
  Problem Event Name:               APPCRASH
  Application Name:                    AdobeCaptivate.exe
  Application Version:                  4.0.1.1658
After spending over an hour with Adobe Tech Support, we found a folder in the Registry, that, when deleted, solved the problem.  I was told that the file in the folder (there was only one) was a Captivate preferences file.  I wasn’t completely sold on that, though, and I don’t, unfortunately, have the name of the file.  The folder was labeled “Adobe”.
Still off the network, I tried to launch Captivate and it worked!  Later, I connected to the network.  I, then, disconnected from the network and tried to launch Captivate.  Once again, it failed to launch (just like before).  Believing that the offending file was rewritten, I opened the Registry and navigated to where the Adobe folder was with the file in it.  However, no such folder was recreated.  So, the fix that I used successfully the first time, no longer applies.  I’m back to square one where I can’t launch Captivate unless I’m connected to the company network.   This is the only program that does this and I have a host of other Adobe products on the same computer.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this happens?  Any ideas on how to fix my problem so that I can launch Captivate without being connected to the company network?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi there,
Do you have the latest version of flash player ? Can you try the following steps
1. Close captivate if already opened.
2. Uninstall the flash player from the system. Instructions are here : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
3. After successful uninstallation try to install the latest flash player from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
4. After installing the latest flash player. Delete the preferences
Preferences for Windows 7 are located in : C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe, In this location delete the folder named "Adobe Captivate"
5. Unplug your network cable
6. Now launch captivate. <Let me know if captivate launched fine here>
7. If captivate launched in step 6, then close it and plug in the data cable.
8. Launch Captivate.
Let me know if this worked.
Thanks,

  • Hi, All. Iam using Adobe Document Cloud. After saving a pdf document to this cloud, I am able to see my PC folders . How to disable this? Does my PC folders are also available across other PC's to access them with my Adobe ID? Please help me. Thanks

    Hi, All. Iam using Adobe Document Cloud. After saving a pdf document to this cloud, I am able to see my PC folders as well with a browsing option  . How to disable this? Does my PC folders will  also available across other PC's to access them with my Adobe ID? Please help me. Thanks in advance.

    Hi indi68632954,
    I can understand your concern & you need to worry about this, as your PC folders won't be available on other PC's as this option is just to browse through the files of the specific system on which you are working as shown in the screenshot below.
    Only the files uploaded on the Document cloud will be available over Internet using Adobe Document Cloud service upon the authentication of your Adobe ID & password.
    I hope this will answer your query.
    In case if you have any further query please let us know, we will be happy to assist you.
    Regards,

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    Those are not viruses. You have probably installed some malware:
    The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using Dr.Web Light from the App Store. It's free, and since it's from the App Store, it won't destabilize the system. If you prefer one of the better known commercial products, then Thomas recommends using Sophos.(Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) If you already use Sophos, then be aware of this if you are using Mavericks: OS X Mavericks- Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

  • Updated CC2014 the other day, will not open, crashes everytime. I have OS X 10.9.4 -  3.4 ghz intel cor i7, 16 GB 1333 HHz DDR3, in vain talked on to adobe tech, with no help.

    Updated CC2014 the other day, will not open, crashes everytime. I have OS X 10.9.4 -  3.4 ghz intel cor i7, 16 GB 1333 HHz DDR3, in vain talked on to adobe tech, with no help from Adobe.
    This morning, I made a new "customer" and downloaded the "trial version" of CC2014 photoshop. This resulted a working CC2014. I hope Adobe can fix my "real" account which does not work at this time.
    Anyone else tried this?
    Ken

    I don't think everyone with a Mac is having basic problems with Photoshop 2014.1.
    What exact versions do you have in each case?  Is your updated version 2014.1, while the "new customer" version is 2014.0?  Choose Help - System Info to see.
    Sounds like, given your specific system, you may want to try a full clean and reinstall, or maybe a downgrade to 2014.0 until 2014.1.1 or 2014.2 comes out.  I think the older versions are available through the Creative Cloud application.

    For the former delete some items from the iPod.
    For the latter.double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory.

  • Ok so I use an hdmi connector on my iPhone 4S to watch netflix. But after I updated to iOS 7 it will not work my tv doesn't receive a signal. Does anyone have any insure to this please help .!.!.

    Ok so I use an hdmi connector on my iPhone 4S to watch netflix. But after I updated to iOS 7 it will not work my tv doesn't receive a signal. Does anyone have any insure to this please help .!.!.

    The 8 pin Lightning connector can only output 720p and lacks all iPod Out functionality unlike the full iPod Out functionality and 1080p that the 30 pin connector has and I suspect that they are coding iOS 7 specifically for the new devices which have severely reduced abilities and perhaps skipping adding the code needed for 30 pin devices to use their functionality with HDMI, etc.

  • HT1386 i tried to sync my ipad to my itunes using usb but it will say not charging,, i can sync with my ipod touch without any problem... please help..

    i tried to sync my ipad to my itunes using usb but it will say not charging,, i can sync with my ipod touch without any problem... please help..

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060 :
    The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
    iPods need less power to charge them (their wall charger is half the power of the iPad's, 5W as opposed to 10W), so are more likely to charge via USB

  • Is there any Adobe product that can help me create crochet charts/diagrams?

    Is there any Adobe product that can help me create crochet charts/diagrams?

    I am not all that familar with Crochet, other than what my sisters and mother use to do 20+ years ago.
    What you could do is turn on the background grid and snap to grid. Find a grid size that will work for you (may be easier if you place an image for reference) Then with the pen tool you can create lines that follow the grid (assuming you want to print the grid)
    With the image placed you could add text for what color or change the lines color and print it out
    Anyway just an idea, it kind of hard to think with out seeing one. But then again if you have book of patterns you could use that as the reference. Just keep in mind that whats in that book is for your own use only, it can not be shared or sold to the public. As the book is protected by copyright laws. Any original work you do that is not in that book, is up to you on what you want to do with it.
