Found a Solution!

Like many of you have written, once anything past Reader 6 was installed it was impossible to update or uninstall those Readers. I started having error problems about a week ago after a recent upgrade to 9.1.1. I kept getting the 1402 / 1404 messageswhen I tried to upgrade or uninstall the programs. I finally went in to the Regitsry and deleted every file I could detect that was associated with Adobe products. For 99% of the files I had to right-click, go to permissions and give myself full permission to read or alter that file. I could then delete it. It took quite awhile to do this. But, the result is that I was able to uninstall the programs using Windows uninstall program. The Add/Remove program still shows I have Adobe Reader 3.01 somewhere on my computer but I cannot find it?? I then re-installed my Adobe Pro 6 program and now can read files pulled from the internet just fine. I have not re-installed any other Reader for fear of fouling up my computer again. I spent three evenings just now undoing the problems caused by the current versions of Reader.

The US iTunes Store is working for many people, including me, so it's not global. It may be your version of iTunes/QuickTime - what versions do you have?
The problem may also be regional in nature. The iTunes Store uses the Akamai distributed server network to spread the load around the country, so if Akamai's having problems in your area, that could account for it. If the latter is the case, there's nothing you can do. You'll have to be patient and wait for Akamai's engineers to sort out the problem.

I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. After long hours, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the content works.

I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. The title of the mails stored in the mailbox appear, but the content was unavailable.
After 4 long hours at the phone with the Apple staff unable to help me, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the contents of the mails stored there become available.
Please, make this solution available to other people!

You have found the the way to share it. Include your problem and its solution in a forum post in the Mavericks forums. Then mark you own post with a green solved star.
Note. You won't get any points for that; points are only awarded where you mark someone else's post as either helpful or solved.

I HAVE FOUND THE SOLUTION FOR THE FIRMWARE UPDA

I'm sure most all of you have had this same problem I <strike>had:</strike> When you try to install the firmware update it says 'Plug in your player'!!? A very frusterating message mainly when your player is CLEARLY plugged in. So here's how I came about my solution!?I endlessly searched on this support forum, and I found that several people had found the solution several different ways!? Then other people have tried other's solutions, and it worked for some, but not all!?The forums have obviously pointed the problem at the computer, and not the player. They are halfly right, the problem isn't what you do on the player, but it's what they do to the player. I figured that there was something that the succesfull posters?did in the mean-time between posts that the unsuccesfull posters didn't do. It also didn't make sense, like others said was the problem, that it was Windows Media Player!? They said that you needed to roll it back, downgrade, to WMP 9 or 0. This made absolutely no sense to me because when I brought up WMP , and 0 for that matter, it recognized 'creative ZEN touch' under the 'synch' tab. After I found the solution, sorry for writing so long about how instead of just what it is: I just wanted to make it clear that this is the solution, I told my dad what it was!?He said that it made perfect sense because when my older brother tried to upgrade his firmware on his Dell MP3 Player, a message said that:It must be fully charged!?Beore you mess up your computer deleting all of these files and waste your time, try plugging your player into the wall at the same time it's plugged into the computer!? Then run your firmware update and bravo!? You are back in buisness!?Here is what to do in a little easier reading format:?. Plug your player into the wall.2. a. Plug your player into the computer.?b. (your player, at least my ZEN touch, should have the 'Docked' screen up. I'm not completely sure how this comes about, but I think that it'll appear that way while downloading the firmware update.)? If not, then try it anyways!3. Go to http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/?and search by product!4. Download the firmware update.?I hope that the moderators and admins find that this is, in fact, the solution!? Make this a sticky or something!? Your loss, not mine. :smileysurprised:

for all of you that fall in this...
sorry guys it was supposed to be a postponed April fools day joke!!
... i believe you will forgive this little silly joke of mine
hehhe

"Adobe has found a solution or workaround for the recent crash in Adobe Flash CC" ...not really.

Hi guys,
My Flash CC crashes all the time, it's always been doing it since when I started using it on CS4, and I've somewhat given up on this bug being fixed, it crashes at least 20-30 times every document I create. I'm using a Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen&Touch tablet and drawing a lot, I think the problem is that it can't handle this much drawing.
Anyways, it just crashed and for the first time after reopening I found this nice message from Flash:
"Adobe has found a solution or workaround for the recent crash in Adobe Flash CC.
Please click here for further details."
Excited, I clicked on it! At last, a solution! Amazing!
...but it just points to http://www.adobe.com/
... I don't understand.
What's happening? I'm genuinely puzzled.
Also, anybody else experiencing frequent crashes?
Thanks!
Ciao!

Yes, this is not good -- you're already mad when it crashes, then "We found a solution!" But, for me clicking on the link does nothing - no link even to adobe, just a tease - nothing opens.
It's bad enough crashing a couple times a day and losing work (I do save every chance I get), but then to get taunted with this bogus message, it's discouraging and exactly the best 'user experience' for a really expensive product from company that is all about helping professionals create good design/user experience ..
I like the way this is headed though! it just doesn't work right now.

24" Cinema display is flickering every 30 seconds or so. Has anyone found a solution?

I have a 2009 Power Mac tower with a 24" cinema display also 2009. About a year ago the display started flickering, like it was turning on and off. I've got a duel display set up and the other one (older acrylic 20") works fine. I've checked the cords, updated to the latest soft wear, at least I think I have. I see others having the same issue. Has anyone found a solution? This is really annoying when trying to do graphics work. Any help would be much appreciated

Hi 517 Design,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are seeing flickering on your Cinema Display, you can find many additional troubleshooting tips in this guide that can be helpful:

Has anyone found a solution to sending mail to groups in Mavericks? I've been given 2 approaches - 1 to type user name group into address and the other to go to address book and right click on group. Neither are satisfactory. Does anyone have a solution?

Has anyone found a solution to the issue of default email account on iPhone continually changing?

I am seeing an irritating problem with the default mail account, calendar and contacts list on my iPhone 4.
Every so often (I think it happens randomly after syncing or even just connecting the iPhone to my iMac without syncing) I notice that some or all of my default email account, calendar and contacts list have changed away from my desired default (which is my Exchange account).
The iPhone is running iOS 4.3.5 (8L1) and I'm using iTunes 10.4.1 on my iMac.
I found this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1639451 dating back 2 years to the days of iOS 2.1 without any solution. Googling hasn't helped me find any answers yet.
I have 5 accounts set up on the iPhone - a MobileMe "Find my phone" account that's only used for that purpose, not email, a GMail account, a couple of vanilla IMAP accounts and my main, Exchange 2010-based account that I use for mail, contacts and calendar.
Most frequently after a change I find that the default email has switched to the GMail account, the calendar and contacts lists have switched to my iPhone and most of my Exchange account mail folders are empty and have to re-sync when I tap on them.
I know from Googling that other people have been seeing similar issues.
Has anyone found a workaround or solution?

Has no one found any solutions to this?
Or at least what causes it (so that it might be avoided)?
I find it difficult to believe this issue has existed so long in iOS without being addressed!

Anyone found a solution to the corrupt preferences issue: CS4?

Soooo, annoying. I don't understand how Adobe can have 20+ years of experience with Illustrator and still not have fixed a few simple things. I keep getting the corrupt preferences warning every time i open ill. I can't find any solutions anywhere for this. What is the deal?
If anyone can let me know how I can take care of this annoyance I would really appreciate it. It's driving me crazy.

Sorry, ya. Silly me.
Windows XP Pro. Running as admin.
I've deleted the settings folder. No effect. If I reboot Ill will present the same warning. If I close Illustrator for a couple hours, same thing. It's a common problem. I've seen plenty of people on the web complaining about it, including on this forum, but have never found any solutions that work. The common suggestion is to either move the settings folder or delete it altogether and have illustrator rewrite the pref file but like most other people out there, that hasn't worked. The issue is recurring. The other is to delete the pref file upon illustrator start up. Still same issue. No matter what, when illustrator closes it corrupts the pref file or when it opens it doesn't recognize the pref file as valid. Quite annoying. So, my recent files don't show up, my keyboard shortcuts, gone, my scratch disk settings, units, all of that has to be redone everytime. My workspace is unaffected though. So really, it's just the pref file. It really is quite annoying. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

HP PSC 2355 Has anyone found a solution that worked ?

Re: HP PSC 2355 all in one
Has anyone found a solution that worked?
This printer used to work fine with Tiger – after a lot of headaches setting it up. Seemingly, after downloading a latest 10.4 up-grade, I lost all functions with this 3 in 1 printer. I’ve done all the procedures on the HP site, purged everything HP on my computer relating to applications, and re-installed the software. However, the printer does not show up on the ‘Printer List’ in the ‘Printer Setup Utility. Error message stating that ‘No default Device Detected’ or, Error ‘Sorry, scanner could not be initialized. (Scanner not found.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank-you,

Has anyone experienced, if so found a solution to having electrical shock, tingling, pain and burning in fingers hand and wrist from using the apple mac computers??

Has anyone experienced electrical schock, tingling, burning and pain in the fingers, hand and wrist while using the apple mac desktop and the apple pro notebook?? If, so have you found a solution?? Never experienced this with any other computers and I have talked with my Doctor as well as a specialist and have had an EMG test for capatunel and nerve damage both test were negative

I have experienced some mild tingling if I touch the aluminum case on my iMac at the same time that I touch the metal cases on my external hard drives. They are all connected to the same surge suppressor and are on the same circuit, which is definitely properly grounded. I can't explain it, and I just make sure not to touch them at the same time.
I have never had any sensation touching just one of the devices alone. Is that what you are experiencing?

Sorry, does this link work
http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
I ended up having them call me then was able to give them 1 of my secret questions right and they reset things so I could reset all my secret questions.
Try going into contact support and see if you can schedule a call. There seems to be some issues with peoples' id's and this update. iTunes thought that I'd never bought anything from my computer or device before, and I clearly had, so it's like it got confused. THen I tried to get my questions reset, but the mail never came, which is why I just got a phone call because I felt it was 'real person' time.

I reply to an email on my iPad. When I view the same email on the PC in MS outlook there is no indication that I have replied to it. Has anyone found a solution for this?

This seems to be an annoying part of the newer OS. When I first got my Pearl in 2008, I didn't have that occur. However once the OS got upgraded, and now with the Tour, it seems like that is the way it works. Not clear to me why they would have thought this is preferable.

Has anyone found a solution to the login problem with Lion?

I upgrade my 27" iMac Quad-core last week to Lion and everything was fine. I shutdown after a software upgrade and now I can't log in. Of course, Apple support is closed. I tried a number of the solutions on this site to no avail. Has anyone found a solution? *** has apple done to my system?

Don't know if my problem is same as yours..after Lion install, frozen cursor in password field when logging in after starting up, beach ball. Couple of trips to Apple store, a number of phone calls to troubleshoot with Applecare. The last fellow who helped me found a workaround, just can't log in. He said engineers have reports of others with this problem so it's not just my machine but fix would probably come in software update. Been dealing with this since first week of Lion download. Hopefully they'll fix it eventually. I can use macbook now, but don't like not being able to have a screen login via password. No plans to ever again download a new op system on a mac...had no trouble installing win7 on older dell from vista.

I have the same problem, but don't expect Apple to help! I rang their help line and explained the situation and that the same experience is reported all over their forum and they would not assist unless I paid for a one year help subsciption.
This company has lost the plot! They create software that universally will not work then expect customers to pay to have it fixed. Technically I should walk straight into the nearest apple shop and ask for a refund, as the device is no longer fit for purpose!
Congratulations Apple for the best ant-promotional App on the market and your astounding lack of service ethos.
