Can't seem to figure out how to get the signature to work correctly

I am having trouble getting Digital Signatures to work on a PDF. This is the first time that I have ever tried to use them, and the first time that I used Lifecycle to convert a form instead of just building it one field at a time in Acrobat Pro.
In the past, I have gotten several PDF's that required signing. It seemed like an easy process, I clicked on the signature to sign it and then the email button to submit. The first time I did it before I had a signature, it walked me through the process of getting one set up, that was easy too.
Now, I need one, and all of the sudden, it doesn't seem so easy any more.
I have the CS3 Design suite with Acrobat Pro 8.0
I did the layout in InDesign, and the form conversion in Lifecycle. The signature fields were added there automatically, all looked good so far.
I open the file in Reader 9.0 and am unable to add a signature. I made sure that Reader 9.0 knew where my signature file was, but no matter what I do the document sign options are all greyed out.
I opened the form in Acrobat 8 and it will let me sign, but I have to immediately save/as or the signature doesn't take. I have to save it save/as twice because there are two signatures.
I figured there was some rights setting wrong, but can't find it. I have searched for signature, but can't seem to find a post that applies to my problem.
This is driving me crazy. This shouldn't be that difficult. I am missing something here.
Can anybody here shed some light on this?
Thanks,
Kirk

To enable the form to be signed in Reader you will need to open the form in Acrobat; goto Advanced>Enable Usage Rights and then save this copy of the form for sending out to the users.
The user should then be able to edit and digitally sign the form. They can then email the signed/saved pdf as a browsed for attachment or via the email icon in the toolbar. Note - if you have created an email submit button on the form, then unless they have Acrobat they could only return an xml file.
The other way to do this however is to create a dataset by 'distributing' the form. This time the Email Return button will send back a full version of the form. During the distribution setup you will have the option to email the form directly or to save it and send it later,so you can send to users as and when or even post it to a website or intranet.
When you receive and open the returned form it will ask whether you want to add it to the predetermined dataset (or if you want to categorise the returns into geographical areas for example, you could create new additional datasets at this point). If the form is data heavy however, the dataset will become very large and unwieldy pretty quickly, but you can export the data from it (including signatures) in xml format and import this into an Excel spreadsheet.
To simplify the Excel xml import process I'd recommend you carefully structure your form in the hierarchy (LiveCycle) into the order you would want the data items to appear in your spreadsheet and switch off those data items that you will not need by setting the default binding for the irrelevant fields to "None".
Clear as mud? Hope this helps.

Ok, it's just a glitch that it's not auto-rebooting from the disk.
Please backup your personal files off the machine to a regualr external drive and disconnect all drives before doing anything
Take the 10.6 disk out and clean and polish the bottom with a very soft clean cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to cut the oils.
Stick the disk in and reboot holding c key down, this will make it boot from the disk and you can install Snow Leopard that way.

Can anyone help me figure out how to get the red number to show up

I see on the website that if you have an appointment that day a red number will come up like it does for the text, email or missed calls. Can some one let me know how to set this up or if it doesn't work like that.
thanks,

Exactly, except for the one minor correction above.

Many thanks in advance!

is there more than one _xmlData.pic.caption node in your xml?
if yes, the following should be tracing more than one caption:
for each(var pic:XML in _xmlData.pic)
var vo:PicVO=new PicVO();
vo.file = pic.file;
vo.caption = pic.caption;
trace(pic.caption);
_pictureList.push(vo);
if it does not, you probably have a malformatted xml.
if you can't easily find the problem, copy and paste your xml.

I am running OS 10.5.8 along with ipoto 6. i can't seem to figure out how to upgrade. i can't upgrade to 11 but what can i do??

i need to upgrade my iphoto on my intel based imac. running 10.5.8. can't seem to figure out how to upgrade this iphoto. i also have a new macbook on which this version of iphoto won't open. the macbook is running 10.6.7. what can i do to run iphoto on both machines??

iLife 11 and iPhoto 9 require OS X10.6.3 as a minimum. So you will need to upgrade your iMac to Leopard or Snow Leopard and then purchase iPhoto 11 from the App Store. If you can find a copy of iLife 11 somewhere you'll get all of the latest iApps.
You're new MBP should be running iPhoto 11 and the other iLIfe 11 apps.

I want to download my itunes library to my shuffle. can't seem to figure out how to do this. can you help me?

I want to download my itunes library to my shuffle. Can't seem to figure out how to do this. Can anybody help?

You probably need to set up automatic syncing. Select the shuffle in iTunes. You see a row of "tabs" (buttons) starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the iPod's Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
Check the box for Sync Music. If your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on the shuffle, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Then click Apply.
Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres, then select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the shuffle, from the lists below.
Here's one convenient way to set it up. In your iTunes library, create a new regular playlist; call it something like "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want). From your iTunes music library, load that iPod Songs playlist with ALL the songs you want on the shuffle. On the shuffle's Music tab, find and checkmark that iPod Songs playlist (under Playlists). When you click Apply, those songs sync to the shuffle. Going forward, to update songs on the shuffle, just update that iPod Songs playlist in iTunes (add and/or remove songs) and then connect your shuffle. iTunes automatically updates the shuffle with the same changes. If the iPod is already connected, click the Sync button to update the iPod.
If you have any specific question, please post back.

I have an iPOD mini library and now have a IPhone 4S. I updated my library and synced my phone to the library but can not figure out how to get the music library to download to my iphone

I have an iPod mini library which I have update. I now have an iPhone 4S which I have synced to the library using a MS XP computer. I can not figure out how to get the library to download to my iPhone?

Thanks, This caused me to go back and try again since the solution seemed so simple. What I did was when it started downloading, it started with the iphones apps to my computer. I did not want the apps downloaded on my computer so I stopped it. If I would have waited, the music was uploaded right after the apps were downloaded.

Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening? Is there anything I can do to get them back? I'm freaked out by the thought that I am paying for what I thought was a safe place for my photos to be stored and accessed later but now see that there are nearly 500 pictures/videos gone from my photostream folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. - Michael

Hi newmarket,
Photo Stream is not a respository for archiving photos. It is a cloud storage device that will store the last month or last 1000 photos taken by any device on the same Apple ID, and then will "share" those photos with all other devices that have Photo Stream turned on,and that are logged onto the same Apple ID.
iCloud backups will contain all of the photos that were on your camera roll the last time you backed up your device.
If you have photos outside of the Photo Stream parameters, and they are not all on your current camera roll, then you have no way to retrieve them unless you have imported them to the computer you sync with or have uploaded them to some other cloud service like DropBox.
Sorry,
GB

Did you delete the files from your Remote server?
Deleting the local site folder or the site definition in DW will have no effect on your remote site.
When I go to your URL, I see the index.html page with 16 code errors and this background image:

So the site is still online until you delete those files from your server.

I was hoping there might be some way to create a network between the 2 machines (and 2 different versions of the OS) to be able to transfer data across immediately but perhaps I'll just have to wait for my firewire adaptor to arrive.
I don't understand why you're buying a Firewire adaptor, since AFAIK both of your computers have Firewire already built in.
All you need is a firewire cable. Connect the Firewire socket on the old machine to the Firewire socket on your new iMac.
Then start the old machine in Target Mode (i.e. by holding down the T key on its keyboard, while it's starting up, until you see the three-legged T icon hopping around the screen of the old machine.)
At that point you will also see a new icon on the screen of your new iMac. This is the hard drive of your old machine. By clicking on it you can navigate through it any way you like, just as you would normally.
Just drag across whatever you want from the old computer to the new one. This will leave everything on the old computer untouched.
