Icons all Adobe logo

How do I get my Icons to be what they are supposed to be besides uninstalling Adobe Reader? With both 9.5 and 10.1 Reader install, all desktop logos become adobe logos. Windows7 home, 64bit

It seems like the file association got corrupted. Try this help documentation: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/application-file-icons-change-acrobat.html
Feel free to write back the results.

How can I make sure under Windows 8 in Explorer to get a real pdf document content file miniature and not the Adobe logo miniature?

This is not a typical Windows 8 problem, I had the same problem with all my previous Acrobat versions on all previous Windows versions.
How can I make sure that when consulting pdf files via Windows explorer the pdf file is represented as a genuine miniature of the document content itself and noit just a document icon with Adobe logo?

Hi Josialaers,
Turn the 'Preview Pane' ON and you should be able to see the content of the pdf when clicked.
When 'Show preview handlers in preview pane ON' is checked in 'Folder Options' of Windows Explorer.

All my desktop icons are Adobe Reader icons, can't access related files

I was trying to open a file this morning, and when a pop-menu asked what application I wanted to choose (from a list) to open it, I clicked on Adobe Reader - just as a guess. After that, just about all my desktop icons are Adobe icons, and when I click on them, the pop up menus says I can't access the file. These icons also show up on my menu of all my MS Office programs like Outlook, Word, Excel, etc.
Tech support at Adobe recommended I use System Restore, but it also is now an Adobe icon, so I can't open it. If anyone can help reverse this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
David

Hi,
This also happened to me this morning. Now all my icons are PDF symbols and Reader opens when I try to open any other program. I uninstalled Reader it and it fixed itself but when I reinstalled the program the same issue occurred.
I wanted to make PDF reader the default application when openning PDF's vs. Distiller, tinkered and broke my computer.
Any clues on how to bring everything back to normaL?

My outlook will not open yet all other microsoft packages will. When I click on the icon, the 'o' logo will come up for a split second but will not open the package - need to receive emails asap!

You're very welcome!
I meant holding the "option" (or "alt") key on your keyboard as you click the Outlook icon on the Dock, and continuing to hold it until you see the Microsoft Database Utility come up. Alternatively, you can open the utility by navigating to Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office and then double-clicking the Microsoft Database Utility app.
When you rebuild your database using that program, a backup copy of your original database (containing your account info, contacts, mail, calendars, etc) will be created. As a security precaution, you should also ensure you have a backup of your database (which you can find by going to Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/ and copying the contents of that folder onto an external drive).

Why does Adobe Reader download turn all my icons into Adobe Icons?

I am using Windows 7 and trying to install Adobe Reader 10. I have tried it numerous ways, but it continues to turn all my icons into Adobe Icons. Why?

Please have a look at: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86069.html to rectify the issue wherein all files get associated with Adobe Reader.

I am having trouble, to whereby I downloaded Adobe Product Version: 11.0.10. But also the Adobe Logo or sign PDF has attached itself to most of my Icons on my Desk Top.

Moving this discussion to the Acrobat Installation & Update issues forum.

Plugin: Seems to be a basic screen and a more elaborate one after clicking the adobe logo...

I use Adobe Acrobat 8.1. I prefer to use the version 11 reader plugin. There are two differing "screens". 1. comes up with the document and when you hover the mouse at the center bottom third of the screen, a dialogue appears allowing basic operations. Clicking on the logo brings up a second screen which is more elaborate.. I would love to know what these screens are called in AdobeSpeak... Now...
After setting the adobe acrobat 8.1 as the system default, the reader plugin in chrome is still version 11.0.05.3 per the plugin section, however where before there were two screens available, the second screen appears and there seems no way to set it to the first simplier one. No toggle to go back to it.
I am pretty certain that the plugin is not the one from 8.1.
I went into the general preferences and set the default to the adobe reader 11 and this gave me the simple first screen, once again. For acrobat 8, I used folder options to make it the system default for .pdf files. I use several programs that rely on the default system pdf program, 8.1 my choice, so this is important to me.
So I guess the relevant question is how, if I only see the more intricate second screen in google chrome, can I set it up so that the simple one with the hovering tool bar is available and not the more elaborate one that come up after clicking the Adobe Logo at the far right of the hovering tool bar?

...This is the hovering tool bar. click the adobe icon on the right side and
you get this...
click the diagonal double arrow head and you return.
However when 8.1 installs, the plugin says that its 11.0.05.3 but the
plugin which looks a lot like the the directly above is not exactly the same.
It is not 8.1 plugin, for sure. The plugin list says its the 11.0.05.3 and its
not the chrome version. There is no hovering tool bar when the doc first comes
up. The question is how to revert a setup to be like the top two pics without
having the reader take over the default of the system through the preference
-> general option.
This is not that important. It just seems like the two photos above are
replaced by... a third which has sign in, tools and comment at the bottom of the
screen. A might strange.

Quick description of problem:I cannot access CS5/6 application (Perpetual Subscription).
Reason (according to Adobe Forums Willi): Activated Creative Cloud subscription on 4/18/2013 while already signed on with an active CS5/6 subscription - THE CREATIVE CLOUD SUBSCRIPTION REPLACED THE CS5/6SUBSCRIPTION AND DEACTIVATED MY PERPETUAL CS5/6 SUBSCRIPTION PERMANENTLY (without my knowledge or consent as far as I can tell).
The only way I can now use CS5/6 is to PAY FOR IT AT $29. a month. Even though I already paid Adobe $1000. a few years ago for the CS5/6 Software (Perpetual Subscription).

No thumbnail detail , just icon of adobe reader XI (window 7)

there is no thumbnail detail in folder or file icons, just pdf icon of adobe reader XI is displayed (window 7), please help!

I found the solution to the program itself not opening properly on another thread on this site. See below:
I spoke to a colleague about what was happening, and he had me reinstall Adobe Reader XI and attempt to start it. I then navigated to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\ folder and double-clicked the Eula.exe. It displayed the End User License Agreement window and I clicked 'Accept'. After doing that I was able to start the Reader without issue and it all seems to be working fine now.
The above worked for me and now Reader XI will open properly and stay open. Hope this helps someone else.

Acrobat icons all generic with no preview?

After reinstalling Acrobat 9 pro on a new machine all adobe pdf icons are the generic Adobe icon with no first page preview on them. Have tried everying from the forum so far but no success.
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Checked those options, and the user had already unchecked it in the hopes of resolving the problem...
I misspoke, it's not the menu bar, it's the toolbar. I'll update the post.
I haven't done an update on it, that was going to be my next step. If that doesn't work, I may just completely uninstall and re-install it.
Thanks for the help.

The application (all adobe applications) has unexpectedly quit

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my Adobe Cs3 Design Premium package. I don't know if i have the correct forum section.
I now managed to install this software correctly on mac osx but when i try to start one of the application they will all give me the very same error message!
"The application (all adobe applications) has unexpectedly quit
A crash report has been generated. To provide us with the best chance of fixing this problem, please select Continue to add a detailed description that includes the steps required to reproduce the crash."
Adobe will use this crash report to help find a future solution to this problem.
I had 512mb but upgraded it later to 2gb. Mac OSX is installed on a pc machine.
Does anyone know this issue? and what can i do about it?
I really appreciate any help,
Jasper Bakkker

Hi Hugo
1. Do You have upgraded QuickTime to v.7 if not don't, else downgrade to
6.5.2
2. Do You have enough free space on Your hard disk eg 20Gb recommended
3. Do You start Your projects from within iMovie with the function
Share/Export to iDVD. I don't. I use the ref. movie in the project
folder/icon and close iMovie so that only iDVD is running
4. Do You do other thing during DVD-processing. Don't.
Yours Bengt W

Icons from Adobe apps on Classic don't show properly in OS X windows

I think it happened pretty suddenly. The icons for Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator (residing in my OS 9 apps folder) no longer show properly in OS X Finder windows. Instead, the icon for Preview shows. I've tried to correct that by selecting the correct app in the Get Info window of one of those app's files, and then opting to change the icons for all files belonging to those apps. But it doesn't work.
Rebuilding the Classic Desktop and repairing permissions didn't work either.
It's not a serious problem, but does anyone have any ideas how I might fix it?
Thanks!

Oh, I've restarted, repaired permissions, even rebuilt the OS 9 (Classic) desktop file.
The Finder knows what 'kind' the applications and files are. The proper icons are displayed for the applications; it's the files created by the applications that don't have the proper icons. For example, Photoshop creates one icon for a Photoshop file, another for a GIF, another for a JPG, and a unique one for all the file formats it creates. But those files are instead displaying the icon for Preview, even though Finder knows the file belongs to Photoshop. Same thing is true for Illustrator.
I suppose it's no big deal. I can tell by the filename extension which app created what.
