How to fix my computer after multiple installs of same adobe product that I didn't start myself.

I just got done downloading adobe Flash Player, Reader, Air, + one other. When they were done installing I had 4 exe files for flashplayer, all exactly the same, 2 readers, 4 of the other that I can't remember the name. I am wondering why adobe downloads kept loading the same things over and over even though it would say complete and I'd move to next. I have had adobe stuff on my last computer and there have been some places (sites) that suggested I get it for this one(computer) also. But I don't want duplicated files taking space. 4 flash player was aprox 45-60. I'm not on the computer page that I can tell exactly. But in comparing the files, they are exactly the same.(As far as I can tell they are) How can I get them off my computer without destroying my computer, or crashing it. My last computer was windows 95 and it has been a while since I've had it. This one is brand new and driving crazy figuring it all out. I do know what flash player downloaded exe files look like and I 've got 4. Can this be fixed so I'm not waisting space. Thanks V.
p.s. I mostly don't understand that these duplicate versions downloaed time and time again. Shouldn't it be built into software that if it's there already you need to re-install?

"exe" is an executable file. Meaning it is executed by either a double click or a click and pressing "Enter". Installers are therefore, executables.
The files downloaded were "installers" only and will not do anything but install the products in your Program Files folder... which is where the actual applications run from. Since you've already installed the applications, you no longer need the installers.

Multiple Instances of Various Adobe Products

I have noticed that I have multiple installs of several adobe products, CC and CC2014. I attempted to uninstall the CC version of Acrobat but apparently it uniinstalled both versions and now I have to go back and reinstall the CC2014 version. My hard drive is quickly filling up and I really need the space that eliminating one version would give me, but don't want to have to uninstall then reinstall every program this is showing up for, when the version I want is already there.
Is there an easy way to fix this? or am I stuck with having to go through this long process?

As I stated, I tried to do this (let me clarify that I am using windows 8.1) and when I uninstalled the older CC version, both versions uninstalled. This happened across the board with everything I tried, Acrobat, Muse and Dreamweaver. I still have photoshop, illustrator and premier pro that I didn't mess with simply because they are programs that I currently need for the classes I'm taking and didn't want to risk anything at this point.

Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

HT1420 how do i authorize computer after deauthorizing in itunes

how do i authorize computer after deauthorizing in itunes

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

How can I get my ipad to reflect the same playlist order that appears on my computer?

How can I get my ipad to reflect the same playlist order that appears on my computer? My computer has the exact desired order of playlist, but once the system is synced, the ipad does not reflect the propper order.

In iTunes with your playlist shown in the correct order, right-click on the playlist name in the side-bar and click Copy to Play Order. Enable the side-bar with CTRL+S if necessary. Sync. Note also that the column you are sorting on should have the small triangle pointing upwards, otherwise the songs will play in the reverse order. You may also find that you need to first remove, and then add back the playlist to the device if syncing doesn't update it properly. See this post for more.

Music on iPhone4 4 automatically shuffles music and shuffle is not turned on in anyway. Anyone know how to fix this or is anyone having the same problem? This didn't start until the big update a month ago!!

Anyone know how to fix this or is anyone having the same problem? This didn't start until the big update (5.0) a month ago!!
When playing music there is no shuffle button like there was before... On the playlist there is a shuffle bar but this does nothing when I touch it. It's either stuck on my music is messed up.
Any ideas??

Start playing a song.
Select the album artwork area for the song playing to reveal the scrubber for the song.
Is the color of the icon located at the right of the scrubber blue?
If so, that is the shuffle icon and blue means shuffle is on. Select the icon to turn shuffle off. White means off.

How Do I Add Partitions After Bootcamp Installation?

I want to have Windows 7 on my late 2013 Macbook Pro 13 to run applications not available on OSX. I need a small separate partition to store files for one of the applications that runs under Windows. On my older PC Windows machine I have C:\ that contains 98% of the data and a separate partition that acts as a separate drive (M:\) to store library files. This is a local copy of a server that I carry on my MBP, and doing this as I've done keeps the configuration files (that point to the server M:\) on my MBP consistent with desktop machines that actually point to a network shared drive (M:\). I just sync my small partition with the server every so often to keep my MBP functioning when I'm disconnected from the server. Now the problem. I can install Windows via bootcamp and that creates a C:\ (Windows partition) and gets Windows up and running. I have already learned the hard way about adjusting the partitions after bootcamp installation (I've rebuilt my Mac about 3 times ). I have been able to create the correct number of partitions by running the bootcamp assistant, creating the bootcamp partition, rebooting and <option> booting back to OSX, before installing Windows to add this 10GB partition (as FAT32) for my "M drive". Now after creating the "M drive" partition, I booted back into the Windows install disk (which has issues with USB drivers not functioning which I got past) and now I find out Windows will not install because it can't format the bootcamp partition since it will be a 5th primary partition and Windows 7 only supports 4 primary partitions on a drive. Is there a better way (without virtual OSs)?

Not possible. Boot Camp only works for two partitions - the OS X one and the Windows one. That's it. If you attempt to put a third partition on the drive, then Boot Camp is no longer able to manage the drive and you will lose the required boot loader for Windows. Getting things back to normal will then require repartitioning the drive back to one volume and reinstalling OS X from scratch.

How to enable the use of multiple cuda devices in Adobe AE?

I had nvidia gtx 690 and nvidia gtx 760. They were both seen by the driver 340.52 and there was checkmark "use multiple GPU devices". Adobe AE CC 2014 when rendering was recognizing and using both GPU devices. Then I replaced the gtx 690 with gtx 780Ti as a primary device. The driver does not show the option allowing to use multiple gpu devices and in the preferences of AE Only the 780 ti is shown. When rendering only this graphic card works. My question is how to employ both GPU's 760 & 780 ti into rendering as it was the case with gtx 760 & 690?
Many thanks for your help.

Read the paragraph that begins with "If you have multiple GPUs installed, the GPU-accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer will use the CUDA cores on all of them, as long as they are of the same CUDA compute level" here:

How can I retrieve imessages after I restored my iphone 4 to factory setting and didn't back up prior to restore?

If you synch your phone to your computer via itunes,it performs a backup prior to synching. You can check by luanching itunes select preferences>devices,all backups should be shown there. If in fact there is a backup of your phone listed then do a restore of that back up.

Grub2 multiple installs on same pc

Hi friends, can we have multiple installations of grub2 on the same pc on different partitions ( not the MBR ) ?
For example , I have three partitions:
1) /dev/sda4 (500 MB)
2) /dev/sda5 (500 MB)
3) /dev/sda6 (500 MB)
can i install grub2 on all the above partitions at same time ?
Many thanks.

If you install each distro's GRUB2 to the MBR, but each install will overwrite the previous. You can use configfile to boot the other partitions. In arch anyway, you can use grub-install to reinstall arch's GRUB2 to the MBR. AFAIK, this should work with other distros as well. You have to chroot into arch then run grub-install to do this.

See the following Fedora bug report thread for some more info on configfile (particularly comment #23 and #25)..
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=872826
It is not recommended to install GRUB2 to a partition...
