How can I stop Adobe Reader from reading (seeking) the floppy drive when opening/closing any PDF?

Ever since I opened a PDF file from my floppy drive Adobe Reader insists on checking/seeking/reading the floppy drive whenever I open and whenever I close any PDF (not using the floppy).  It is very annoying, as I use many PDFs per day and it creates a delay and noise every time.

Edit>Preferences
Under Page Display:
Where it says "Location of referenced files", if it shows "Floppy Disk A:/" clear the box, or choose an alternate location if you can't clear it.
Also, under Search:
Click "Purge Cache Contents"

  • How can I stop my ipod from going to my picture library when connected to my computer?

    A week or so ago I clicked the option that was saying "Transfer photos from ipod to computer" under the "What should this device do" option thing when you first connect your ipod to your computer. I have windows 8.1. Anyway, I thought the photo thing was a one time deal and it wouldn't ask me "what to do" again. Usually i ignore it but I did,in fact, have photos to put on my computer that day.
    Now every time I plug my ipod into my computer it takes me to my picture library to start "reading" my ipod photos and if you have windows 8 or greater, that is very annoying because it's its own separate "application". Is there a way to reset this setting without resetting my ipod so it doesn't take me to my picture library each time? I can deal with the pop-up when you first connect I just don't wanna have to keep exiting my picture library each time I connect my ipod.

    It's simply called Photos and there is no options/setting thing on it. I have windows 8, it's a stand alone photo library viewer.

  • How can I stop my iPad from mixing up the order of photos when I sync from my PC?

    Hi-
    I have a 1st generation iPad. I have noticed that when I sync photos from my PC (Windows 7) to the iPad (using iTunes) that the pics do not end up in the same order on the iPad that I had them arranged on my PC. Mostly this is not too much of a problem. But recently, I have a batch of photos that really need to be in a particular order. I spent a lot of time on my PC naming them in such a way that they'd STAY in the order I desire. There are about 185 of them, so this took a lot of work! How can I keep them in the order I want when I sync to the iPad?
    Thanks for your help-
    Betsy

    Hi again-
    Just as a final follow-up on this topic, I have been able to change the "date taken" property of each photo file without downloading any extra software. In the Windows Explorer, all I have to do is select the file and then I can edit the date in the properties pane at the bottom of the window. Since I have to change each file to a unique date so that I can control their order on the iPad, I have to do this all by hand anyway, so I did not spend much time looking for a software to do it.
    Just in case this might help someone else, I thought I'd post it.

  • How can I stop Adobe Illustrator from starting automatically i boot

    Every time I turn on my imac, Adobe Illustrator launches automatically. It is not that big a deal, but it is annoying and I cannot figure out how to stop it. I think my 3 yo daughter did it by accident! Thanks for your feedback in advance

    Go to System Prefs>Accounts>your name and remove Adobe from the start-up items. There should also be a place in Adobe preferences that asks if you want it to launch when the computer starts, Deselect that option.

  • How can i stop attached photos from being in the email body?

    I try to send pics often to places for printing and icloud puts them into the body of the email instead of as an attachment. THis can be quite annoying. Advice pleas,   Thank Carol

    When sending from your Mac, when composing the email click on Attach.  In the choose file dialoge, try checking the box that says "Send Windows Friendly Attachments".  From you iOS device, this happens automatically.
    The message may still look as if the photo is embedded rather than attached, but on a Windows computer it will appear as an attachment.  (On a Mac it will appear to be embedded but the attachment can be saved by control-clicking on the image.)

    What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • How can I stop my phone from going into the lock screen while talking on it? (New issue with ios 6)

    Prior to ios 6, I could talk on my phone and have the mute button available. Now it goes into lock mode while speaking on the phone. This is terribly annoying when on conference calls and you want to mute/unmute, or just hang up a call. I now have to swipe to unlock, go to phone, and hang up or unmute. I've tried upping my timeout, but that just delays the inevitable.

    Yep, it's a pain.  What's even more concerning is that at the Genius Bar, he was trying to tell me that this is the was it was supposed to be, so they probably fixed it in OS 6.  He said it is for people that are using "Bluetooth" and want to keep the phone in their pockets".  Ridiculous!  What compounds the issue is that the Apple Reps have no clue as to what's going on, and either do the senior tech's on the phone.  As I said in my message, this has made it very cumbersome, and makes it very difficult for those who need to use wired headsets.

  • How can I stop my phone from muting in the middle of calls?

    When pressing "send" and making a call, Six boxes pop up on the screen, one of them being the muting option.   My problem is that face or ear touch this button while I'm in the middle of a call.  I need to be able to manipulate the options that come on the screen everytime a call is placed, in this case being able to have no options on the screen while in the middle of a call.  Is this possible? if not, it should be; on the next upgrade.
    -Thanks

    phone should be going dark when its up to your head based on the sensor. if thats not working then:
    Follow basic troubleshooting found in your user Guide for your phone.

    if issue persists then its a hardware issue.

  • When panning full left and right in logic pro 9, how can i stop one side from bleeding into the other?

    I'm creating a Click track for live performance. I Have 3 audio tracks panned full left (-64) and a Click track panned full right (63) but when I play the track they bleed into each other. If anyone knows a way around this that'd be great

    Eddie,
    I just ran a test on my G5 Logic system (Logic 9.02) with an internal RME PCI 8in/8out Audio Card and I get perfect separation bouncing to a stereo audio file using standard panning. Click on one side and a couple of crunchy guitars on the other. Each side is completely separate.
    So, it seems to point to your hardware unless you have some other audio routing that we've missed.
    I'm re-doing my setup so I may try a couple of other tests as I go along.

  • How can I transfer Adobe Acrobat from my old PC to my New PC?

    How can I transfer Adobe Acrobat from my old Laptop to my new laptop?

    You have to deactivate and uninstall on the old system and then reinstall on the new system. Whether it works depends on the Acrobat version (looks like you indicated AAX) and OS. You need to be sure to update after the new install. Just transferring files like you imply you want to do is not possible with almost any modern software. The software not only loads files, but sets all sorts of registry entries that would take a lot of time to find. In the past there were some programs that supposedly tried to move programs, but I have not seen mention of one in years.

  • How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

    How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

    Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.
