Dumb question of the night... but...

I'm DESPERATE! I'm a Mac user, but am forced to use a PC here at work. I just downloaded the new version of Adobe Reader XI on my PC, and ever since, some critical programs won't run on my computer and I just keep getting some stupid welcome screen from Google. I've got to get this thing uninstalled from my computer and hope I can save face. Can anyone tell me how to do it (the uninstall of Reader XI from a Windows PC running Windows XP)? Pleeeeze???

Did you by any chance install Google Chrome (by not unchecking the optional bundled software offer on the download page)?
If so, uninstall Chrome: Start | Control Panel | Programs and Features | right-click on Google Chrome | select uninstall.
If you also want to uninstall Adobe Reader, uninstall it the same way.
P.S. some of the names in the above procedure may be different, depending on your Windows version.

    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

  • I may have a relativly dumb question about the newer iTunes

    ok, I got a video iPod for my birthday, which was in the first week of august, and I put iTunes on my comp, but I haven't updated iTunes since because I have been reading there were so many bugs with the iTunes they released. Then I see they came out with a newer version, but I haven't downloaded it yet because I was afraid about the problems and bugs. My friend told me that apple fixed the problems, but I read a thing or two here about people having trouble with it.
    So I guess the question I'm building up to is, should I still be on the catious side and not download the newer iTunes, or is the newer iTunes ok?
    Me being computer illiterate, I'm not too sure what my comps insides are running other than Windows XP home edition

    Downloading videos on 7.0.2 hasn't worked as well as everyone had hoped. I still can't get mine to work, but i do know a few people who haven't had trouble with the newer itunes.

  • Some (dumb) questions re the TB display

    Have just connectewd a new TB display to my  late 2012 mac mini.
    It is awesome.
    Gigabit ethernet port
    Just wonder why one would connect the screen to the Gigabit ethernet port?
    I have the MM connected to the DSL modem so why do the screen?
    I can understand it being used if you have a laptop with no ethernet port but as of now it is not useful?
    Thunderbolt Port
    I was sold a TB to TB cable as well, even though the screen comes with a TB (in) cable.
    So I suppose I can use this for another screen or some backup kit
    Can I connect another computer through this port?
    Thanks

    I connect my router to the ethernet port on the TB display so my desk is cleaner since my Mini is off to the side and the back is open to view.  Makes no difference as to function.  You can use the extra TB cable to daisy chain another TB device to your TB display.  Not sure what would happen if you connected another computer to this port (my guess is that it would not work).

  • Probably dumb question....but.....

    I am a newbie....big time.
    I have CS3 and need an answer desperately......
    To make an image magazine worthy......how do i set up a new document?
    300 ppi and what dimensions etc?
    I will be forever grateful for any and all answers i get.....

    Hey we have all been a newbie at some point. 300 ppi should be fine (You may want to have a conversation with your Print Prvider to make sure) but your size would depend on what your final output size is. You can change the pixels to inches or picas, whichever you are more comfortable with.

  • My dumb question of the week

    I recorded audio tracks and processed them using Bias Peak. However, when I add two of the tracks to garageband and play them. The sound is lower and deeper than what I recorded them at. In affect I have a much deeper voice and it is a slower speech pattern. The audio track (s) there are two sound perfect when played back in Quicktime. Other tracks that I imported to GB work just fine.
    This one has me stumped - any ideas???

    From HangTime's FAQ:
    Set iTunes’ Importing preference to AIFF, 44.1k, 16-bit. With the name selected in the iTunes window choose Convert to AIFF from under the Advanced menu.
    When the conversion is done a new file will be created and listed in the iTunes window (Convert doesn’t actually convert, it recreates in the new format). Select this new iTunes song and chose Show Song File from under the File menu. Drag this file into your GarageBand Timeline and it will play fine.

  • Dumb question of the week...

    how do i remove songs from my i-pod? i've looked at the manual and it doesn't make any sense to me...

    There are several methods of deleting songs from the iPod and/or iTunes, and the method you choose depends on the settings you have selected for your iPod.
    If you have the iPod set to automatically transfer songs, and you no longer want a copy of those songs on either the iPod or in iTunes, simply delete the songs in iTunes. Highlight the songs you no longer want then right click and select "clear", or from the edit menu select "clear". Next time you connect the iPod, the songs will be deleted from there also.
    Only do this if you no longer want the songs on both the iPod and your computer.
    You can also use the "only update checked songs" method in the iPod options (right click on the iPod in the source list in iTunes and select options, then select "only update checked songs"). With this preference checked, you can remove the check mark from the songs in iTunes that you no longer want on the iPod. The next time you connect the iPod, those unchecked songs will be removed from the iPod whilst still being retained in iTunes. You can check and uncheck songs as you change your mind about what songs you want to put on the iPod. Songs that have no check mark against them will be skipped over when played back in iTunes.
    If you have the iPod set to manually manage your songs, and you want to delete the song from the iPod only, then select the iPod in the source list of iTunes, or click on the "music" option underneath it to show all your songs. Highlight the song(s) you no longer want on the iPod, right click and select "clear", or use the edit menu as previously mentioned.
    This method only deletes the songs from the iPod, so if you no longer want the song in iTunes also, you'll need to delete it from there separately using the method above.
    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, all these settings can be found in the summary screen.
    If you want to delete everything from the iPod and completely erase the hard drive and start from scratch, then you can restore the iPod to factory settings.
    Only do this if you have the songs in your iTunes library, or a back up somewhere other than the iPod itself.

    Well, then I think you should ponder your situation for a few days. Maybe reread the flow of the program I posted in your other thread and comtemplate how you can use that to your advantage.
    You don't seem to be able to write a single line of code on your own, and by posting 7 different threads you have managed to con people into writing your code for you.

  • I accidentally placed my iPod in some water it was in there for about 45 seconds and i immeadiatly took it out. i then used it for the rest of the night but woke up to it not on and wouldnt turn on. i have it in a rice bag but i'm worried it wont work.

    I'm very worried about my iPod touch 4th generation coming back on after falling in water.

    It may or may not work after some time. All you  can do is see what happens.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for the 64 GB one and $99 for the other ones.

  • Questions about the content of download meeting recording .zip file

    I tried posting this on the resurrected Connect forum, but my Adobe ID wasn't recognized there....
    Concerning the files that are included in the .zip file of the meeting recording that can be downloaded:
    1) Is there any documentation describing the files and their contents (i.e. what each file represents, what each XML element and attribute in those files represent)
    2) Are there any files that capture mouse movement on a shared desktop?
    Thank you!

    Hi Sean,
    Regarding your first post:
    Thanks Jorma! I don't have access to an FMS build at the moment but I'm quite certain it's there. As for contacting Jaydeep, I am 90% sure he authorized us to broadcast his email on here if folks had questions about the tool, but, in the case that I'm wrong and he didn't - I'm going to double-check first.
    Regarding your most recent post..
    "To be clear, the most critical goal I'm trying to accomplish is to create an automated process that will download the recording meeting at its highest quality in a consistent and reliable manner".
    I personally believe this is possible; unfortunately, I haven't seen it done yet. If your recording contains:
    - audio
    - a camera feed
    - screensharing
    Then I think you might be able to get this going. If it contains shared content, like a shared PPT, this gets trickier.
    "To do this, of course, I have to reproduce some of the functionality that Connect provides, starting and combining video and audio streams according to the instructions in the control files."
    Exactly right. If your recording didn't contain shared content, then all you've got on your hands are a bunch of audio/video files that you could edit together as you wanted with your favourite video editing tool. If it contains shared content, here's (at a high level) what's happening.
    For shared PPTs or FTContent files:
    First (for version 9 recordings only), Connect reads the information on the Shared Content's location and SCO within mainstream and indexstream and validates it before loading it. I don't recall this happening to the same extent with version 8 or earlier, but maybe it was. Now, if the content is validated (ie. Connect can find it) the share pod will display as black, if it doesn't, you get an empty pod with an message like "No content is being shared" or something like that.
    Connect then looks at the actual FTContent file, and loads the content that is to be shared using the file path and sco ID listed in here. It's important to note that the SCO ID and file path in here will likely not be the same as the original file you uploaded to your room, it's a new SCO id (I believe SCOs of this type are called referenced scos) and new path.
    Now...if I was going to build some sort of player which would play all these files in one screen to make a recording...I might not want to use Connect's code here. If you know the file path to the shared content (from FTContent), you could easily view it with the content URL (conveniently also in FtContent). I'm not a coder, but I'm envisioning something like Presenter's GUI where you've got the presentation's content in the main area, and a video file (if there is one) playing back on the side.
    Anyways, food for thought if you want to try to go about this. Connect recordings are incredibly complex and they come with a big learning curve, but if you can make sense of them the knowledge is quite valuable.

  • My ipad mail is synced to my iMac mail account. On iPad, I can only see my inbox and sent messages. I can't see any of the folders I have created on my iMac. How do I do that? Probably a dumb question, but I know there's a lot of smart people out there!

    My iPad mail is synced to my private email account, which I organise on my iMac. On iPad, I can only see inbox and sent messages folders, not any of the other folders in my email account I have created on my iMac. How do I get iPad to show my other folders? Probably a dumb question, but I know there's a lot of smart people out there.

    If you select a mailbox, you should get an Edit button (easier to see in landscape mode). Clicking the button will provide you with check circles for the messages. You also get Delete and Move buttons at the bottom. Check the messages you want to move and then navigate to the mailbox you want to drop them into. I think as long as you can navigate to a mailbox you can move the messages to it.
    In the Mac Mail application and probably Outlook on the Windows side, you also setup rules to move messages to specific mailboxes. If the mailboxes are stored on the server, then you can have the sorting done on the server and they should appear that way on the iPad. If your later messages do not show up, you may need to have the iPad app pulled down more messages until they are all showing.

        Hi droidboy52999,
    Your email won't have the same confirmation number as it was ordered over the phone. You will need the last name used for the order, the location code (this ends in 01) and an order number (five to six digit number). Please keep us posted if you need further assistance with this.

  • This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out?

    This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out? I am using a MacBook.

    Press "Command P" and when the Print dialogue box comes up, towards the bottom there is an option allowing you to choose the text size, i.e: small, med, large.
    Hope this helps,

    Truly dumb question. How do I get PS to actually complete a command, eg straighten an horizon, and finalise the change. Even doing a "save as" with a new file name and reloading brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame still there. Is there a "apply change" or similiar command that I simply cannot see.

    PSE did what you told it to do. Choose the Straighten and crop edges or fill edges options when you use the straighten tool if you want it to do more than just straighten the contents of the image. Many people prefer the plain straighten because they'd rather crop themselves than let PSE do it.
