  • How can i get my computer to read pdf files?

    My computer has stopped reading Adobe pdf files. I keep getting a Microsoft Word File Conversion box which asks if i want to use Windows Default, MS DOS, or other encoding to read file, but nothing works. I have un-installed and re-installed Adobe Reader X on my Dell/Windows Vista PC but that hasn't helped.

    How are you trying to open them? Have you tried one of them from within Reader? If you can, it sounds that you have a problem with files associations.

  • How do I get my computer to read files on my server

    I recently moved my files from my laptop to a in home server. I reinstalled my laptop and reinstalled iTunes, I can not see my library files in iTunes.

    Without knowing what computer you have this is an impossible question to answer.
    However in general you will need an adaptor that goes from whatever connection you have on your computer to an s-video connector.
    Search for s-video to (name of connector on your computer) adaptor or cable,

  • How do I get a movie on DVD into my new 5th Generation ipod?

    I read up, and it seems the only way to get a DVD movie onto the 60 GB iPod is to buy Quicktime Pro. I wouldn't have a problem with this if I was just sure that a DVD format will convert well with this program. In fact I'm not ever sure how to transfer a full legnth DVD to my mac's hard drive.
    Thanks for you help guys!
    Michelle

    Before you go with Quicktime Pro, do a search. Others have had problems with the video converting but when putting on the iPod no sound.
    Since you have a Mac, alot are using a program called Handbrake. A quick search will give you the info you need.
    I'm a Windows person using a purchased program.

  • ITunes can't read my iPod Video 5th Generation

    Hey guys,
    So my iPod was messed up for a while back, but I managed to reset/restore it so it's basically at a clean slate. Now when I plug it into my computer, it shows the normal "Do not disconnect." screen and it even shows up on My Computer.
    The problem is: iTunes can't read it. It shows nothing on the side panel of iTunes. I tried doing all the device manager things and everything seems to be good. I have an iPod Nano 3rd Generation and it works perfectly well on my iTunes when I plug it in.
    Any suggestions on how to get my iTunes to read my iPod Video 5th generation?

    Watcha,
    I haven't had any of these problems yet, but getting ready to download the newer version of Itunes. I have a HP Pavilion PC-based laptop with Windows 7, and also an IPOD Video 5th Gen. So I really hope I won't get any problems. Sorry I didn't have any solutions and hope your problems were solved.

  • How do I format my new SSD and get my computer to read it?

    I installed a new Samsung SSD with SATA III PCIe connector in my 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 2.66Ghz today.
    It's showing up in Disk Utility as being there, but it says it's unformatted, and I can't access it from the desktop.
    How to I get the computer to register it in Disk Utility?
    Thanks.

    Thanks.
    Since it is showing up in Disk Utility, try selecting it, then clicking the Partition button, choosing GUID partition table as an Option and Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format.

    Install it. Open it.
    If you could give us some more detail about what you've done, what you are doing and what exactly happens when you do it I might be able to give a better answer.

    If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

  • How do I get my Sony ebook Reader to show up ("be recognized") in the top left corner??

    How do I get my Sony ebook reader to show up ("be recognized") in the top left corner of the window.  It never shows up and I cannot transfer books from my Mac computer to ADE.  I am using Sony Reader Library but it is developing problems!!  Can anyone assist??

    No solution yet.  One would think that Adobe would recognize that several complaints  have been reported on this problem.  Obviously, nobody knows how to fix it!!  Sorry I can't be helpful!!

  • I downloaded the new Pages and Numbers through my app store but when I open my old documents, it still tells me my 30 day trial is over. How do I get the computer to automatically recognize the new applications?

    More information: I have a 3 year old MacBook and had been using "Microsoft for Mac" until last week when I took my MacBook in for some upgrades- including the operating system Lion. I have been unable to use the Word, Excel, etc. programs because they are not supported on the new operating system... and I already used my 30 day trial of iWork when we first purchased the computer. I decided to buy Pages and Numbers through the App Store icon. When I open the Pages and Numbers under my Applications, I can get them to work. However, when I open old documents saved on my computer, they go into the 'old' iWork messages of that my trial has expired. How do I get the computer to automatically recognize that I've purchased Pages and Numbers?

    You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.
