Don't want Album Starter as default to display pics

Talk about the evil empire - I thought Microsoft was bad about hijacking your machine! I was recently forced to upgrade Acrobat Reader and it evidently installed Acrobat Album Starter and set it up as the default program to display pictures from my digital camera. Frankly, Explorer does a better job of displaying them. I first tried disabling it, then tried exiting it. But, Adobe Photoshop Album Starter still "controls" my pictures when I click on them. I hate the fact that when clicking on the "+" to zoom in I have no ability for it to automatically zoom in on the point I want to zoom in on. So, not only is the program a junk for what I need, it has taken over my computer through no fault of my own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Double click on My Documents - on the desktop... then
Select:
Tools
Folder Options
File Types
now change the file type to match the s/w... I had this same problem - 3Starter Edition took over as my jpg editor -
don't you just hate when these software companies want to take over what you are used to!!! I would like to find out how to get that darned Launch icon out of my "running applications" don't know the name of that bar - but Adobe puts it in as a launcher - takes up other resources, I'm sure!!

My kids share use my apple id for their ipods. Now I'm getting an ipad and wondering if I should get a new id (they don't want to start over). Can we share but not have to see each other's apps, contacts, etc?

My kids use my apple id for their ipods. Now I'm getting an ipad and wondering if I should get a new id (they don't want to start over). Can we share the id (my email address) but not have to see each other's apps, contacts, etc? I'd rather share I think, but don't want to create a nightmare for myself. Also, I already have a kindle app (with purchased content) for my computer - does getting a new id for itunes change my ability to access my kindle account on my ipad? Thanks!

So first I'd say that it's not a good idea to start a new apple id if you have a large purchase history. You may not transfer purchases between apple IDs. You should consider some other options listed here http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37 Primarily the option where you or your children have seperate icloud accounts/email accounts that sync their contacts apart from yours. You may use your apple ID for purchases and use a different one for icloud/email/etc.

My Nano took a trip thru the washer and dryer and I assume it is destroyed. My wife bought me a new one, but Itunes doesn't recognize it, although my computer does. How do I get pack into my music, I don't want to start all over again?

My wife bought me a new one. It shows up on my computer (windows vista), but Itunes doesn't recognize it.
How do I get Itunes to recognize it. I spent a lot of time recording my old cassetes and don't want to start all over again. I just want to get back to where I was.

Did you already try the troubleshooting here? iPod not appearing in iTunes

I accidentally removed one of my apps from game center, can you help me get it back? I don't want to start over

Please help me, I really don't want to start over

Restore from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
To help prevent the last backup from being overwritten and thus erasing the Messages from the last backup turn off autosyncing so that you have to overtly start a sync. To turn off go iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".

I recently got the iPhone 4s, but my iPod has a lot of apps with a lot of data on them and don't want to start over. I already synced my iPhone from the computer that had all my apps from my iPod, how do i transfer the data over, the other apps did.

If I wiped my phone I wouldn't have the contacts on my phone to send to my self. I would need to take just the contacts from my back up. I would have to do this through iTunes and I don't see how I can just extract the contacts only from my back up. From what I can figure out it is all or nothing

HT4314 I have just got a new ipod touch but my game centre games are on the old one and i don't want to start them again, can I transfer the stage i'm at or anything?

I have just got a new ipod touch but my game centre games are on the old one and i don't want to start them again, can I transfer the stage i'm at or anything?

The progress for some games will transfer since some games synce progress to a cental server. For other games you will have to have the backup of the old iPod.
You can restore from backup or access the backup. See:
How to transfer game saves between iOS devices, without iTunes, and without jailbreaking | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog
If you have acces to the old iPod yu can make a backup by connecting the iPod to the computer and right click on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore from that backup.

I want to deploy an application using firefox but I don't want it set as default browser. I am using mozilla.cfg to lockdown firefox.

I am deploying an application using firefox. I am using the mozilla.cfg file to lockdown firefox and I don't want firefox to be the default browser.

Try the option to "Force Firefox to make itself the default" as shown in this article - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser
Another possibility is your email application may be hard-coded to use IE.

Don't Want Menu @ Start - How To Delete?

I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum...my iDVD is 7.0.4.
Anyway, I'm trying to get a movie ready to burn onto DVD. I don't want any kind of theme or menu at the beginning. I have tried several times to delete the menu and can't. I have also looked up how to get rid of the menu on apple.com in the iDVD tutorials. That says to set the DVD for autoplay and loop the movie. I did this, but when it's rendering, I can see in the little preview box that it's adding on the default menu at the beginning. Any ideas on how to simply burn the movie I created in iMovie without all the extra themes and menus?
TIA,
Sue

Hi Sue
Welcome to apple discussions.
That says to set the DVD for autoplay and loop the movie.
True. This is the best way to make a no theme dvd that is virtually invisible to the end user / when the dvd is first inserted into most set top dvd players. However one can still see a menu if the menu function/key on the remote control were to be selected. Keep in mind themes and menus do add playback stability (especially upon initial playback / when the dvd is first inserted into the dvd player).
If you truly wish to make a dvd that is completely menu free, then the only way I am aware is to make a One Step directly from the camcorder or from a QT movie /file on the mac's desktop like this:

Made a 2 minute edit on Final Cut Express but at the 30 seconds (after I exported), there's a clip showing up that is not in my project, a clip i don't want in there, a glitch, how can I correct this problem? I don't want to start over again :(

Basically, I have 2 problems:
1) When I export it shows this clip that's not in my normal project and it ruins my project by having this clip in there; it's like a glitch. I tried to change the clip, and and still doesn't make the project normal again. Tried a new sequence and dragging the project into HD Mode and to no avail.
My camera:
HD: 1080p
Settings: At Hd
2)
Also, it's only displaying black bars above my project, even after exporting at 720p. I just don't want this random clip in my project or the black bars. I'm using Final Cut Express. Does anyone have any possible idea what this could be? Any help woud be much appreciated! I'm clueless on this.
IS ANYBODY OUT THERE? : )

1) Is it a video clip? Something you recognize? To be clear, it's displaying at a point in your exported movie but doesn't appear at all in the sequence?
2) What are your sequence settings? Right-click your sequence and choose "Item Properties" to verify.

You may have more than one device using your Apple account (as I did).
Some of my messages ended up on an idle iPad I had left at home.
Most, however, just stopped sending.
Various work arounds have been posted here and there.
It appears that a text message preference gets messed up.
The simplest work around that usually works (but not always, for me), is to turn off messages, reboot your devices, and then turn it back on. I also tried another suggestion to toggle off the iCloud settings and reboot. Both had the same effect. It worked for a day or two and then I had to do it again.
You may want to enable MMS and SMS texting, which usually work, even when iMessages won't.
iMessages have a blue background. MMS have a green background and you're service provider may charge you for MMS or SMS texts.

I don't want my Skype name to be displayed when I ...

Instead is there a way that when I call my company name is displayed. I also don't want any number to be displayed.

I assume Apple got their data from somewhere like the NHS (or american health board equivalent). Hopefully as nick101 says, it will become customisable in future Apple Watch updates.
On the NHS website, this is stated as the recommended activity time for adults aged 19-64:
One way to do your recommended 150 minutes of weekly physical activity is to do 30 minutes on 5 days a week.
All adults should also break up long periods of sitting with light activity. Find out why sitting is bad for your health.
What counts as moderate-intensity aerobic activity?
Examples of activities that require moderate effort for most people include:
walking fast
water aerobics
riding a bike on level ground or with few hills
doubles tennis
pushing a lawn mower
hiking
skateboarding
rollerblading
volleyball
basketball

I DON'T Want reader_sl starting up! Hear me Adobe?

Dad-gummit! I am so sick of deleting Adobe Reader Speed Loader from my registry! I don't give a flying *@^$& if it makes it quicker to start. I don't need more cr@% running on my system when I may not open a PDF for weeks on end.
ADOBE! HEY! LISTEN UP! Give me the option to 'choose' if I want it to start or not. I'm still running XP Professional, which only sees 3GB of my 4GB RAM. And every freaking application which I install, thinks they know better than me if they should run in the background when I'm not using them. I DO NOT WANT IT. Got that?!?!

Can I reset my search engine to Wikipedia? I don't want any of those default Search Engines anymore they are too intrusive. And I can not Empty Cache any more and Google has taken over the address bar?

Can someone please explain how this now works? And am I obligated to load Mountain Lion. It's a very expensive price to pay for online privacy that isn't even Private anymore. I am old enough that I don't have to pay ransome. I can just quit.
I didn't say and was never asked If I wanted Mountain Lion. I can no longer 'Empty Cache' at the end of a session online and when I do a search now (and this has all changed overnight) the query is typed into what used to be the address bar and when the search results appear, after reading the first result and I want to read the second or fifth or Any of the other results of the query I am forced to resubmit the search in the address bar because the 'Page Back' button has been removed and the Little Red Dot closes the Search Results Page altogether.
What else am I in for with Mountain Lion? I already know that I do NOT want anything to do with iCloud. I am willing to bet a lot of money that a pharmaceutical company one day is going to be holding me for ransome with a new drug that was created out of the symptoms of a once - upon - a - time naturally occuring symptom of aging. At least I can turn my Macbook off and leave it that way and the world will not cease to exist. (Or will it?)

Computer operation 101.
Get a bootable, external HD (preferably FireWire, since it's 40-50% faster than USB 2 and designed for data transfers), make a bootable backup/clone before updating/upgrading, using something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!, and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall or reset anything. See these for details:
http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/installswupdates.html

If you only have a Time Machine backup, ensure that you can reliably restore it to another disk/volume/partition before updating/upgrading.

Don't want Reader to be default viewer

I just had to download the new version of Reader for one particular website and pdf file. Now it is always used by Safari even though Preview is the default setting. I want it to STOP! How do I get Safari to stop using Reader? I have a Macbook Pro and am using OSX Lion. This did not happen with the older version of Reader.

Hi adoberne,
Please check the Disable AdobePDFViewer plug-in under Apple Safar section of the KB: Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat, Reader XI
You need to delete AdobePDFViewer.plugin and theAdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin from the the Internet Plug-ins folder.
