  • I think i have virus

    I need some help about how to fix my Mac, because I think I have a virus. Actually I'm using Avast! program, but I don't know if its ok.

    Uninstall Avast. Use its uninstaller. Do not use anything else to uninstall it.

  • [Solved] Trick pacman into thinking I have installed a package

    First, I would like to say that if there's another thread on this, I haven't found it. I did find one similar thread that was solved, but the person that solved it just gave a PKGBUILD and told the user to install it. I'd at least like to know what he/she did so I can do it on my own. The package I self-compiled was different from his, so I cannot use his solution, plus I just like to know how to do these things should the problem ever show itself again or I need to do this to another package or for another person. Give someone a fish/teach someone to fish...
    That aside, one of the first things I did with my arch box was compile JACK myself. I always like to tweak it's options and make it just right for what I want to use it for, and I use an irregular version, so it made sense to compile it from source. One configure, make, make install later, I had JACK in my system! Unfortunately when compiling like that, pacman's database isn't updated so it was convinced that I did not, in fact, have jack. Since then I have lived with editing jack out of the PKGBUILDs of any jack-requiring package I wanted to install.
    There has to be a better way! So, I call upon you, those who are archier than I, to assist me in solving my problem! I've been using linux for years, so you don't have to explain it to a three year old, but I have only been using arch for a couple months (and so far, it's AWESOME!). Thanks in advance, and have a great day!

    My apologies, I've never made a pkgbuild before. I don't make packages, I just use them.
    I did make a PKGBUILD just now, though, and it does appear to work. Thanks for the words of encouragement.
    For anyone else that needs this, I'll copy and paste what I have in the PKGBUILD file. If it's wrong, you can slap me on the wrist, but it seemed to do the job!
    pkgname=('jack-fake')
    pkgver=('1.9.5')
    pkgrel=('1')
    arch=('x86_64')
    provides=('jack')

    Hi voltric2014,
    If you are on Windows, you can download and install the CreatePDF Desktop Printer, which would allow you to "print" to PDF from Word. You'll find a link to the installer on the CreatePDF page at https://cloud.acrobat.com. Here are the instructions for installing it: Using Adobe PDF Pack
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.

  • I created an account on Adobe website, but when I try to log into Adobe Licensing Website (LWS)

    I created an account on Adobe website, but when I try to log into Adobe Licensing Website (LWS) in order to install Adobe Acrobat X1 Pro is states I am not a valid user. I have serial number for install.

    Account on Adobe website is different than on Adobe Licensing Website(LWS).
    Account on www.adobe.com is an account for individual however the account on LWS is
    mostly corresponding to an organisation or a company and they hold the permission to access this account.
    They assign specific people witin their organisation to have access this account.
    You cannot login LWS using your individual account login.

  • "You've been signed out" error every time I try to sign into Creative Cloud desktop application.

    I keeping getting a "You've been signed out" message everytime I try to log into the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    I have tried the following to no avail:
    Uninstalling and reinstalling the Creative Cloud app.
    Renaming the OOBE folder to OOBE-old.
    Deleting everything in the SLCache.
    All of the above were suggested either on these forums or by support. None have worked.
    I am on a team membership.
    I am currently using Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5.
    I am on a Mac running Mavericks (OSX 10.9).
    Nothing seems to be working and I have been passed from department to department on the support chat window thing.
    Someone, for the love of God, please help.

    CM_Martketing and MikeBanks are correct, but I think what is confusing some people is that they are mistaking their Mac HD for the user name. I kind of had to mash up 2 posts to get it right:
    1: Open Activity monitor from spotlight and end all Adobe related processes. You may find processes like AAMupdater, AAMupdater notifier, Adobe Crash demon process.
    2: Open Finder and navigate Macintosh HD/Users/[your user name]/Library (the library folder might be grayed out, just right click and select open)
    3: Now navigate to Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/.. folder.
    4: Delete opm file under OOBE.
    5: Rename OOBE to OOBEold.
    6: Check if you have AAMupdater in the adobe folder.
    7: Please rename it to AAMupdaterold.
    8: Click on gear icon on Creative Cloud desktop app and choose Quit Creative Cloud.
    9: Then launch it, sign-in and click on Apps tab.
    It worked perfectly! Thanks everyone, I've been trying to figure this out for a month!

  • How to read data fra adobe interactive pdf form into WDA context?

    Hi,
    I have a pdf form which is pre filled with some data and then the user has the opportunity to add some data to the pdf form.
    I want to retrieve this data into my context without having to add a button into the pdf form which will send back data to WDA. Currently i am using pdfSource but it is not updating the context.
    If needed i can change to use dataSource/templateSource instead of pdfSource.
    Thanks

    I don't think that link will help. The PDF Source isn't updating either on data entry into the form
    The issue here is that the Adobe form does not update the SAP context until you tell it to do so. You really need to trigger an event in the form to cause that update, a button as previously mentioned is one amongst many ways of doing this.

  • I keep getting a "You've been signed out" error every time I try to sign into the CC desktop app.

    I have windows 8 and for some reason every time I try to log into the creative cloud app on my computer it tells me I have been signed out and it brings me back to the log in page. Since I have my account through my school I can't download the program again (I think that's how it works) any suggestions?

    I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.

  • I am getting an error message if I try to sign into or authorize my iTunes account

    The error message I am getting is "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The file or directory is corrupted or unreadable. There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later." I don't know what this means or how to fix it. It happens if I try to sync my iPod to iTunes or if I just start up iTunes and it also comes up if I try to sign into iTunes. Can anyone help me with this because I don't know what to do, thank you in advance.

    I'll add what elector suggested should work but if your still having troubles you might try Doing a System Cache, followed by a power cycle.. if both suggestions fail you may have to Uninstall the app and then re-install it..  b33
