  • The data fields in a filled-out PDF form disappeared after a crash.  Is there any way to restore the lost entries?

    Adobe Reader crashed while I had a filled-out Adobe PDF form open.  When I reopened the file, I found that all of the data that had been entered into the form fields had disappeared.  Is there any way to restore the data that is missing?
    I note that the "Restore" command in the Adobe Reader file menu is not available (grayed out).
    Thanks for your time.

    You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
    Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
    An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
    If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma.

    After a crash of my HD, i need to restore my Itune Library which is in an external HD. how can I do that, Thanks

    I still don't know if the drive that crashed was the external drive, or if it was the internal drive, and if it was the external drive if that was the only copy of the library.
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.

  • I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 installed in two computers. The hard drive of my home computer crashed and I had no time to deactivate the software. The hard drive needed to be formatted. How can I activate the software CS5 again ? Thank you for an answer.

    I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 installed in two computers. The hard drive of my home computer crashed and I had no time to deactivate the software. The hard drive needed to be formatted. How can I activate the software CS5 again ? Thank you for an answer.

    If it's the same computer, same CPU and same HD, no de-activation or re-activation should be necessary.
    Install from scratch and apply all updates manually.
    Please do a forum search.  I and others have repeatedly answered the question about failed updates of CS5 a whole bunch of times recently.
    Bottom line:  the Adobe auto updater is utterly useless in CS5 and prior versions.  You need to download the updates and apply them manually yourself.
    I and others have even supplied the links for Mac and Win, which you haven't even bothered to specify.

    You need to uninstall PSE before you can reinstall it. It sounds like you didn't properly remove it. Use control panel in windows. PSE for windows doesn't do repair installs.

  • Reinstall Acrobrat Pro X. Can't reinstall Acrobat Pro X after computer crash

    I am trying to reinstall Acrobat Pro X after a compter crash. I enter the correct serial number but then get asked to select a prior product, in my case Acrobat Pro 9, and enter the serial number (this is the number that appears in my account), but there is nowhere to enter the serial number. And if I try to reinstall Pro 9 it won't let me. Do I have to deinstall Pro X first, or what? ALl input welcomed, thanks. Shanter

    Thanks Bill, that seems to have done the trick. I am now successfully
    reinstalling Pro X.

  • How I "restore the ipad off the computer/itunes program. " ?

    how I "restore the ipad off the computer/itunes program. " ?

    yes
    I have several devices My Keeper account didn't renew   as I had no money in iTunes so it locked Turns out I didn't back up  regularly to the cloud cause I forgot i had paid for 1 device I had backed up the iPod I  replaced with my iPhone 5 S .
    I had backed up the iPhone on my laptop . But I did a sync then restore from Backup to my iPhone hoping the sync would add the  files i had added to the iPhone but not backed up to the Keeper cloud , but were on the laptop back up.  It didn't So sitting in the trash on my laptop is the nw replaced  iOS App Keeper that was replaced by the one that came back from the keeper Cloud when i renewed my sub but made it  for all devices not bjust the 1. When I checked the old i Pod it was its backup To Keeper cloud  from Nov 2013 that was back installed on my iPhone  What I want to do is drag and drop the Keeper IOS  app from the Laptop trash Hopefully containing the added Files since Nov 2013 and replace the old version  and then restore from Back up on the laptop to the iPhone and get my files Back .
    Simple Aye.
