Could Adobe update have messed with Vista?

I just had a major problem with Vista Business. Vista required re-activation - and demanded that I reinstall Vista. Fortunately I found a workaround and was able to activate over the phone without doing a re-installation, which would have involved reformatting the hard drive. The whole episode, including finding solutions on the internet, only took about three hours
The reason I'm wondering if it was Adobe is that the Adobe Reader update is the only change to my computer in the past 24 hours. I allowed the update installation after a message asking me to do so, as part of the automatic notification.
I'm curious if anyone else has had the same or similar problem.
It might not be Adobe Reader at all of course. I just thought it a coincidence and worth posting about here, just in case there is a problem with the latest build.
(I won't be re-installing the Reader because I have Adobe Acrobat 8, as part of Adobe Design Premium - so won't be without a pdf reader altogether. Haven't tried the full Acrobat yet - but hopefully it's okay.)

Neither Reader nor Acrobat should cause a problem. If you had Acrobat and Reader installed and then uninstalled Reader you will need to re-install Acrobat since both Reader and Acrobat share resources. This is one of many reasons Adobe doesn't recommend or support computers that have both Reader and Acrobat installed.

Hey, Adobe, don't mess with MY desktop!!

I installed Lightroom 4.1 today. I'm a Windows 7 user. It's MY desktop. The install messed with MY desktop in two ways:
1. It unpacked things to my desktop. While it was nice enough to delete the unpacked files when it was done, but if something had gone wrong there would be this cruft on MY desktop. Put the temporary files in %TEMP%. That's where they are supposed to go.
2. You created an icon on MY desktop without asking MY permission. If every product I ever installed put an icon on my desktop, I'd need two big monitors. Just ask. Thankfully, most products do. You didn't.
Chuck

I kind of agree with you, but there are many, many more irritating things applications do. In this case, deleting a desktop icon or folder are fairly easy, as you can see them (and there's no risk in removing them).
What annoy me more are programs that
load a load of trash at boot-up to check for updates (they could equally well do that when they run, don't slow down my boot-up)
leave stuff in memory to speed the launch of a program (unless I run it very very often, I don't want that)
leave services running when the corresponding program isn't running (Apple, are you listening?)
set tasks to run at regular intervals just to check - who knows what
add extra toolbars to other programs (unless you uncheck easy-to-miss opt-outs when installing)
Bad examples here: Sun java (update checker), Google (update checker), Adobe Flash, Apple (stuff related to itunes, ipods, ipads etc left running 24/7), Nikon (update service). If you don't weed them out (with msconfig, autoruns or whatever) then you find boot-up takes extra minutes, and half a gig of memory is taken up with wholly idle software.

I guess I should not have messed with my file sharing pref...now I'm toast

I use my Airport to connect to my DSL.
I was "messing around" with my SHARING configuration (Apple...System Pref....Sharing...) and did something awful. I no longer have wireless connection to my Verizon router. I can hook up and get online (as I'm doing now) with Ethernet , but not Airport.
The Airport ICON is now GREY and has an ARROW (pointing UP) though it. Never seen that before.
And when I click on the icon I can't find my net work. The other Macs in the house work fine with airport.
Verizon tech support could not help.
How can get my Sharing preference back to normal (I was trying and guessing how to connect my other imacs around my home , without really knowing what I was doing. And I did something in there to screw this up).
Help please
JON

Sys Prefs Sharing should not have messed up your ability to connect wirelessly to your router.
Click on the  on your menubar, click on "About This Mac" then click on "More Info..." Find "Airport Card" under "Network" and click on it. Does it say something like "No information found" or is your Airport card being recognized? If Airport is recognized as existing, I would next look in Sys Prefs Network, authenticate on the padlock in the lower lefthand corner, click on AIrport then click on Advanced, then check stuff in there, like on the Airport tab, is your home network listed there anymore? Try deleting it and readding it. Under TCP/IP, are you using DHCP (or whatever you use)? Or might it have gotten changed to a setting that is incompatible with your router's settings?
To get the Sharing Prefs "back to normal," just uncheck all of the checkboxes in Sharing and it will be back in its OEM state.

Adobe Update Server - help with HTTP service

Hi all,
Could anyone please help me out with the specifics for the HTTP server needed for the Adobe Update Server?
I'm reading the TechNotes PDF, though helpful for the updater server itself, it isn't really clear on the HTTP service part.
What url exactly? which rights? and so on...
Maybe someone could host a website on his OS X Server machine and make some screenshots for me?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
There is no specific requirement from the http server for setting up adobe update server using AUSST. It should be any up-and-running http server say Apache. URLs are automatically generated by AUSST in form of client configuration files, so you do not need to bother about the URLs as such. Similarly rights to the generated updater contents would also be automatically taken care by the tool itself. The only thing you need to figure out and tell the AUSST tool is the http based URL corresponding to the update server root that you are setting up. The latest documentation at http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/creativesuite/pdfs/UpdateServerSetupTool_ TechNote.pdf has some troubleshooting steps that help you out with most common issues.
Thanks,
Manju

Adobe is not Compatible with Vista? or not compatible with 64bit Vista?

From reading through some of the threads here, I am still a
bit confused. Is Captivate 4 not compatible with Windows Vista at
all? Or just not supposedly compatible with 64bit Vista?
Has anyone tried to do a software simulation recording of the
start button, or start menu, or any control panel windows? It
doesn't register a click at all! It will not record a frame!
This is rediculous Adobe. You had, what... 2 years almost? to
develop Captivate 4? And you can't even make it Vista compaitble?
I suppose you'll drop Captivate 5 in 6 months and make
everyone pay $400 for an upgrade just so they can record anything
in Vista? This had better be a high priority update. As it stands
right now, I have to do full motion recording. If I want to do
that, I will use Camtasia!!!
Please give me an answer or a workaround.... Someone..
Anyone.
I am using 64bit and it works fine if recording within an IE
window. All editing, recording, etc functions work fine. I have
tried to do this on a 32 bit version as well with no luck
(recording start menu / button/ control panel windows/etc)
Thank you.

> The problem somehow lies in the system windows. I always
run captivate "as

"control panel"

What changed??
>
Captivate 3 and 4 work fine on 32-bit Vista. Neither is fully
compatible
with 64-bit Vista, so far as I know, but you should be able
to get results
by running in 32-bit compatibility mode.

What are the default font settings for 7.0.1 I have messed with them a bit and now my text is blotchy. I want to start clean.

I tried to adjust font settings to a font that I prefer and a size I can read. It was all kind of messed up so I searched what the default settings should be to start at ground zero again which I found but now it is worse. The main issue is that text is blotchy, dark some places, light another. Monitor is new so it's not issue. What exactly are the Default settings for 7.0.1 I'm not sure mine are correct ??? What other things can I look at if the default doesn't improve everything? I have Windows 7 and turning clear text on or help has no effect. PLEASE HELP ???

You can see the defaults in a screenshot in this KB article:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Some+text+shows+up+bold+after+upgrade
You can check the font setting in: Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
Default Font: Times New Roman (16)
Fonts for : Western
Proportional: Serif (16)
Serif : Times New Roman
Sans-serif : Arial
Monospace : Courier New (13)
[X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
Are there any problems reported in the Graphics section at the bottom of the Help > Troubleshooting Information page?
If you have an ATI graphics display try to disable "Morphological Filtering" in the Catalyst display driver:
* Catalyst Control Center > 3D Settings > Disable Morphological Filtering
Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Could I permanently have messed up my headphones?

Hi, I've recently been using an equalizer for my whole MacBook. I turned it off just now to see how my headphones would sound comparatively, and I'm almost completely sure that they sound different than before the equalizer was used. Is it possible that I messed up the drivers in this process, and caused permanent damage, or have I just become accustomed to the other sound? Incase this helps, they are Harman/Kardon NC headphones.

I seriously doubt it. If you overpowered your headphones they wouldn't work at all. It's more likely that you simply became temporarily accustomed to the different equalization curve.

Having trouble with image size on new HP2311x display with 4 year old MacBook. Image too small. Do I have to stay in mirror mode? I have messed with OSD and Image Control menus on display and have gotten nowhere. Help?

I've imported one folder with MXF files successfully, but cannot do it with the other two folders. I fear I may have messed with the original naming. How can I import the rest?

I shot footage with a rented Canon C300 (using their cards). I transferred the footage to my laptop and I've been able to use log and transfer for the first folder of footage, but the remaining two folders of footage aren't being acknowledged as importable [it "contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media."] is there an example of a valid structure that I could mirror to make log and transfer successful?

Look at the first folder for the proper file structure. But it might not be as simple as folders and the order things are, you might be missing ancillary data...files that tie to the media files. If you are, then L&T won't work, and your best bet is to get the Calibrated MXF software from divergentmedia.com That will allow your computer to read the MXF files natively...to allow you to convert them to ProRes. (trying to work with those native might prove difficult).
I highly recommend tapeless offload software when shooting tapeless. ShotPut Pro from imagineproducts.com is my favorite...works with just about every tapeless format. What it does is copy the footage, and verify that everything has copied over...double checks everything. It also automates the process, will offload to multiple locations... I swear by this software.

Any 3gs user with ios5 update have trouble with wifi?

After updating to ios5, the wifi reception is weak. I get only a couple pf bars even in the same room as the router. And once I setp out of the room, I get no signal. The GPS cannot lock on my position.

I have the smae problem, my old 2G phone and iTouch both have great signal throughout the house but my 3GS does not. And It was not the case before upgrade to iso5. Also I use my maps a lot and never had any trouble getting lock on signal before ios5 upgrade. Now it will not lock on my position. I use the maps feature exclusively for getting around and checking travel time and traffic. Is there any soultion?

TS1741 Does the new iOS 7 update have issues with the iPhone Remote app? It stopped working on me

I have tried to restart both my laptop and iPhone. Won't work.

It just reboots the device and bolds the system fonts. No harm done. If you don't like it, undo the setting, it will reboot and back to as it was.

Edge update messed with timing of objects (was: Adobe Edge update - bugs)

Creating simple animations for e-cards and the new update definitely messed with timing of objects, and is creating erroneous instances of symbols.
Still can load the original version and plays fine, but just loading the version in the _updated folder that was created when original version was opened after update is messed up.
Really disappointed with this update, I really dislike doing my work twice.

Hi Jess
We are investigation the problem and is being tracked in our internal issue tracker.
Thanks for reporting the same.
