Help! I've downloaded something I shouldn't have

I need help. All I wanted to do was create a "siggy." I looked for Adobe Photoshop that worked with Windows XP. I downloaded CS6 13.0.1.1 because it said it worked with Windows XP. Now I have a problem and do not know what to do...I downloaded this two days ago and it's still not working. It's on my computer but it's still downloading...I've tried to delete it by add or remove and delete after searching, but it will not go away. Can someone help me? I just need a trial download that works with Windows XP to creat a siggy and then be done with it. I don't want to pay $699 for a siggy. First I need to remove this from my computer...

I cannot promise anything with getting rid of it but I can try alittle until someone who knows this beast comes along.
You say the file is still downloading. Have you shutdown your computer since this all started? You should try that first.
If when you retsart you see something is still actively downloading, then go into your Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Delete) and see if it is listed as Running in your Applications section. If it is, use the End Task button to try to stop it.

I uninstalled my firefox cause I edited something I shouldn't have why is it all my extension and bookmark didn't disappear?. If those didn't reset to zero then did the files I edited in firefox didn't disappear?.

What kind of change(s) did you make?

Firefox stores your personal data in the Firefox profile folder and that data is not affected by an uninstall and reinstall.

All of a sudden my screen is not rotating. Did I accidentally hit something I shouldn't have?

Look and see if there is a lock icon in the upper right corner of the iPad screen. If the icon is there, that indicates that you locked the screen orientation.
There are wo ways to unlock the screen - depending on how you have the settings configured on your iPad.
Check the side switch above the volume rocker on the side of the IPad. Flip the switch. If the lock icon goes away, the screen is unlocked and you had the iPad set to use the side switch for screen orientation.
The other place to look is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and swipe to the right at the bottom of the screen. Look all the way to the left. If there is a lock icon there, tap that to unlock the screen. Then tap the screen above the task bar to get back to the home screen.
IF ... There was no lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen, reboot the iPad and see if that unlocks the orientation.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
The article that Alan referenced above, explains how to use the side switch as the screen lock - or the way to mute system sounds. It is well worth a look.

Got a new lap top my husband wanted to help me by downloading itunes on it I have not used icloud but do have it on my phone When he pugged it in it asked if he wanted to backup he said yes Then reset my phone now all my pictures are gone please help

I got a new lap top and my husband thought it would be a good idea to help me by downloading itunes on it. Well Not so much... I have not used icloud but do have it on my phone and other items. When he pugged my phone in to my laptop it asked if he wanted to backup he said yes. Then it reset my phone and now all my pictures are gone please help

If your phone was backed up to your computer, the backup would contain your camera roll photos (and videos). Restoring to this backup would recover them. However, if it was backed up a second time after losing them, this would overwrite the backup containing the data and your photos would be lost.
You can try restoring to your backup, but before doing so go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". This will prevent the phone from automatically syncing and backing up when you connect it to your computer, thereby overwriting the backup you want to restore to. After doing this, open iTunes on your computer and connect your phone, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left side of iTunes and choose Restore from Backup. (If you have iTunes 11 first go to View>Show Sidebar.)
Again this might work, as long as the phone was only backed up and then not subsequently backed up again after the photos were lost.

I think I deleted something I shouldn't have, I photo gets hung up.

A while back I tried to delete photos from Iphoto. I can still download photos from my camera and they go into the Iphoto library and i can see them in the library but when I try to open a photo, actually when I click on any part of the Iphoto screen it gets hung up. I always have to force quit to get out of it. Is there something I can do to fix this.

Can you open the Preview program without loading a file, like by itself?
If it doesn't load then I suspect a corrupt Preview preference file.
Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
Can you open other files with Preview, like jpg's and images?
How about other PDFs? or is it just that one you have downloaded?

I think I did something I shouldn't have :P

so if you read my previous discussion, I was having iPhoto problems. I found an RC build of lightroom, and so thinking I had around 6,000 pictues in iPhoto, and thinking I'll just drag them all on the desktop, after a while I thought it wasn't a good idea, so tried to delete them and do eent by event, no my computer freezes, like I turned it off and turning it back on again, after 30 seconds to a minute, it freezes but I can still do the mouse. I thought it would be a good idea, but it wasn't. I just should have ben goingeen by event likee I was, but I thought this would be better. Any help is really apreciated. I'm on a different computer and have mine shut down to let it cool off before trying again. Trying not to freak out again. Running Lion

Well, if you downloaded a release candidate of any software for free which has not been released publicly and would cost money if it was, then you pirated software. According to the ToU of these forums, we are not allowed to discuss such matters:
Keep within the Law

Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.

Sounds as though you will have to wipe your drive and reinstall. Good luck.

PLEASE help me to download Abode REader. I have a Mac leopard and have tried all day to do it with Safari and firefox. my e-mail address is (removed by mod)

I wanted to print out a label for the USPS mailing service and apparently Adobe Reader is required. I've printed out the label many times before without going this route, but USPS says it is now required. In trying to download Adobe Reader when I click on the download, it just won't take. what's going on. also, don't you have a phone number whereby customers can call you? most of the questions don't answer the questions.

Mozilla (like most developers of free software) doesn't provide phone support. This is our support channel.
Have you tried reading [[Use the Adobe Reader plugin to view or download PDF files]] and the steps listed there?

I May Have Delelted Something I Shouldn't Have

Uh oh...heh.
What does it mean if my inserts have slash marks through them? It still has the effect names, but there are slashes through them and I'm getting no audio.
I just upgraded to LE 8 today, but in the process, I deleted everything that had to do with Logic (aside from my song files) and re-installed LE 7, then upgraded to LE 8. I'm wondering if during my mass deletion, I might have done something to make this happen. But then again, I re-installed everything, so it doesn't seem like there should be an issue.
Sorry if this post seems a little haphazard. But does anyone know why there are slash marks through the presets, or why I am getting no audio? Thanks a lot in advance!

Nevermind, I figured it out.

I just got my computer back from getting a new hard drive installed and I wanted to restore everything from my back up hard drive on to my new drive. I tried just copying what I had, but it wouldn't complete. I started trashing some stuff off the new hard drive and I guess I threw the wrong folder in there, because it just froze up. Now my computer wont boot up. I just get the message to turn off my computer by holding down the power button for several seconds. Is there any way to just start all over and reinstall Mac OS X?

Hey Ian, Thanks for your response.
Unfortunately, I have already tried inserting the startup disk to no avail. When I insert the disk, nothing happens. The screen that comes up telling me to "restart your computer" is followed by the screen dimming and all kinds of computer language coming up over it (as you can tell, I'm not too computer saavy). The word "panic" does appear on the screen a couple of times, and it also mentions not being able to find the driver. The final line is "Panic: we are hanging here". Is it possible I threw my drivers in the trash, and if so, what does that mean and how can I resolve this problem? Any help on the matter is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Why wen i try to download something it says i have to login to itunes in my computer and after i due it it still ask me the same things

i cant download fom itunes

Try "Invalid drive X:\" install errors. You should still be able to chose the drive for the download when downloading the installer with a web browser. The iTunes application is installed on the active system drive, usually drive C:.

When I download something from the Web, the "Downloads" window opens, but the window remains blank. Before it used to at least show the name of the file and I could open the file from the "Downloads" window. Is there a way to get this functionality back?

I'm running Windows XP which is updated to latest version (which I think might be Service Pack 3, but not positive.) Mozilla Firefox is version 5.0. I tend to use Google as my search engine so most of the stuff I download comes through sites found through Google, which is also updated.
At some time in the past (maybe a few versions ago) when I would download a file from the Web, the "Downloads" window would open and in the window would be displayed the name of the file I was downloading or had just completed downloading. I think I used to be able to then click on that file name and the file (or the installation file if needed to start the new program) would open. I am currently using Firefox 5.0 (the "About Firefox" screen says this is up to date) and when I download a file or document, the "Downloads" window appears on the screen as it always has in the past, but it remains blank, i.e., nothing appears in the downloads box. I don't remember making any configuration changes, etc., that may have caused the window to remain blank, but I could be mistaken. I know how to find the items I've downloaded (My Documents / Downloads) and can usually guess what the name of the downloaded file might be, but it used to be much easier when something (anything) showed up in the downloads window.
I'd love for someone to tell me about a simple fix for this. I'm willing to be quite embarrassed that I did something I shouldn't have.'''

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

MPlayerX isn't itself the problem; it was downloaded from a source that packaged adware with it. Click here and follow the instructions, or if desired, run Adware Medic.
