Install without Previewers, ifilter, or other shell extensions

How can I install Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (customizing with the Adobe Customization Wizard) so that I can install Acrobat without an ifilter for Windows Search service, previewers for Windows Explorer or Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, browser plug-ins, Windows Explorer thumbnail previews for pdf files, contextual menu extensions, or any other shell extensions?

I am assuming you tried a custom install. You might be able to remove these items by moving them out of the
plug-ins folder. I would just create a back up folder for the plugins you move. Other than the custom install, the plug-ins is the only option I can think of.

Safari 3.0.4 - installed without my approval, now other app doesn't work.

Soon after the Safari 3 beta came out, I made the mistake of trying it out. Safari 3 killed QuickVerse. I contacted the developer and they told me that it had to do with the frameworks updated by the Safari 3 beta. Their suggestion - get rid of Safari 3, which I did. Reverting back to the older version fixed my problems.
Fast forward to the present. With all apps working fine, the last security update apparently installed Safari 3.0.4. A few days later, I opened QuickVerse and experienced the problem I had when running Safari 3 Beta.
After spending way too much time (particularly on this Mac that I brag about being basically trouble-free), I remembered the Safari issue and sure enough - Safari 3.0.4 is installed. Oddly enough, I never requested or authorized it to be installed.
So now, I am trying to figure out how to rid myself of Safari 3.0.4 and get back to using the rest of the software on my computer...but noticed posts with stories of trashing their system trying to do this... please help...

OK - let me clarify - every time Software Update indicates there are updates, I look through for anything I might not be interested in before I approve. One such update I would generally look for are those related to devices I don't use.
Anyway - If I specifically approved the install of Safari 3, I must have been asleep - because I honestly do not recall seeing it listed individually. Only the overall 10.4.11 update... Then following that was an update for Quicktime... My iBook has the exact same version number of all the software on it - except Safari...
Regardless - QuickVerse has acknowledged the problem (existed since the first public release of Safari 3 beta). They did not update the version of QuickVerse that I have because their newest version (2007) was about to be released - and of course, it also has the problem (which apparently carries over into Leopard as well as they have a warning on their web site about a coming update to their new version to be compatible with Leopard - which I assume will fix the conflict with Safari 3 as well. My budget doesn't have room for even the upgrade pricing right now (the same reason I haven't upgraded to Leopard yet).
Thanks for the suggestino.

[SOLVED] Gnome Shell Extensions won't install from website

When I go to https://extensions.gnome.org/ from either Chromium or Firefox, extensions fail to install. If I click the toggle to turn a new extension "ON", nothing happens. Reloading the site switches it back to "OFF".
I was able to install gnome-shell-extension-mediaplayer-git from the AUR. (Which also pulls in gnome-shell-extension-common-git.) It works fine. The problem is that most of the extensions on the AUR appear to be outdated and the users directed to the official site.
This is a relatively new install of Arch and extensions have never worked. Maybe there's a package I'm missing? Or is there a way to get any debugging output? I'm not sure where to look.

I found the following from AskUbuntu (not my own words, pasted from the source:
I'll take a wild stab in the dark: If you're using Chrome/Chromium, navigate to about:plugins and make sure "Gnome Shell Integration" is enabled. Then navigate back to extensions.gnome.org and when the ribbon appears at the top make sure you "Always Allow for this Site"
On Firefox you'll have to do something similar if you've turned extensions off. Browse to about:plugins and make sure libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so is present / enabled. If it's not, upgrade Gnome Shell, or find it on your filesystem and link to it from to ~/.mozilla/plugins (you shouldn't have to do this though).

Reader x does not install the pdf ifilter on xp

Is this an oversight or is there now a separate install?

PDF IFilter 6.0 is from 2004, according to their download page.
Adobe has really left us up the creek without a paddle here. They stopped posting the IFIlter as a separate download when they started bundling it in with Reader (except for the 64-bit version of IFilter 9 that is listed on the IFilter page above), and the installer for Reader X not only doesn't include the IFilter, but it actually removes whatever IFilter you've got installed. So, you can't, for example, install Reader 9.4 to get the IFilter from it, and then install Reader X over top of it to have a more modern/secure version of Reader, because your IFilter will disappear. You are stuck choosing between Reader 9.4 with a somewhat modern IFilter and probably poor security, or Reader X with no IFilter (or the last IFilter to have its own installer, version 6.0, which is 6 years old).
Dear Adobe, this is a real mess that needs to be fixed. How many people out there have no idea that their PDF files are no longer searchable because Reader X removed their IFilter? At least create an installer for IFilter v9.4 so people can use a modern IFilter in combination with Reader X, instead of being forced to use Reader 9.4. There are a lot of posts in this forum about the missing IFilter, and I don't see a single reply from Adobe.

Can I uninstall and install without loosing play lists

Can I uninstall and install without loosing play lists

Your iTunes folder (normally under ~/Music/iTunes) contains files that tell iTunes what you have in your library, playlists, genres, ...These database files have extensions of .itl and .xml. Deeper in the iTunes folder you have the actual media (movies, songs, tv shows).
Uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling iTunes should not impact your iTunes library. It will change iTunes settings like window size, if you have the sidebar turned on, and the like. I do recommend you have a backup of your iTunes folder but at least save copies of your .itl and .xml files.
Your question is a bit cryptic so I'm guessing at your actual question. Good luck.

I am not sure what extensions I Have installed. I don't think I installed any out of the default, though I did recently install cinnamon.
how can I tell what needs to be removed?

If you don't run into any trouble when running an update you should be fine. If you do pacman should tell you which packages are causing the issue.

Gnome shell extensions issues since 3.2 release...

I may be a little early in the game here but I figured I would just mention that I'm having issues with pretty much all the cool extensions I had installed prior to 3.2. I was wondering if anyone else was having similar issues. I changed 3.0 to 3.2 in the metadata.js file to no avail, they are still unusable. Was there any other changes that needed to be made?
The ones I cared the most about are:
system monitor (the cool one in the aur, not the one in repo)
weather
a11y (i know there is a hack, but I'd prefer a extension... or just an option to be able to remove the dang universal access icon period)
frippery (which are a bunch of different ones such as the apps button, quick launch, and such)
Also all my themes are a bit messed up... so what was the biggest changes in 3.2 besides the transparency finally working in the terminal?
I still like gnome 3 and know sometimes you have to take steps back to go forward...

wonder wrote:who cares about extensions. they are unsupported by upstream
Well i care about extensions, since i can not login into gnome after updating to 3.2.
Maybe i didnt spend hours on fixing the problems, but is this the sence it is supposed to be?
The extensions were disabled by default, after the error message came, and it didnt do anything.
Then i moved the extensions out of /usr/share/gnome-shell, to make it work temporarily.
What happened? Only one extension left that made problems: gnome-shell-theme-selector.
Does anybody how to switch this off? Or something, that can login again?
Edit:
i found the info again, that this theme-selector is in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
I moved the extension one directory higher. And now in this error message window it is said that i should re-login,
but there is nothing said about any extension any more.

Gnome-shell-extension-places-menu

Hello,
I have some questions about the places menu.
1. Is it possible to have it show an item that I have in my bookmarks which is to a samba share?
smb://192.168.1.202/temp/ (named Temp)
While that location is mounted, the item shows as a removable device. However, I would like to be able to mount the location from the places menu.
2. Is it possible to show removable devices (such as usb flash drives) before they are mounted? (I don't automount my drives)
3. Is it possible to see a newly added bookmark without restarting the shell? (or see removed bookmark go away)
I guess I am asking if it is possible to have the places menu in the shell show the items that are in the "places" of nautilus.
I have also played with the gnome-shell-extension-drives-menu. The description of the package describes that it can be used to mount and unmount removable media. How do I unmount without opening Nautilus?

Thanks
FYI gnome-shell needs to be restarted for changes to appear.
Alt+F2 type 'r' and enter to restart it.

Gnome-shell-extension-user-theme does not work.

Hello everyone,
I am having an interesting issue with using custom gnome-shell themes via the gnome-tweak-tool and user-theme extension on a fresh install today. It is showing as enabled in the shell extension list, but when trying to select a gnome-shell theme, it's grayed out and says extension is disable. All other theme options work correctly. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
thanks in advance.

Yes, there's a problem with the latest version of user theme package. See last post in this thread (post #75):
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=127459&p=3
Basically, you need to remove user theme extension, download the one specified in that post and install that instead, using pacman -U packagename
I just fixed that same problem on my machine less than 10 minutes ago

Gnome-shell-extension-windows-navigator styling differs from the AUR

I installed gnome-shell-extension-windows-navigator 3.0.1-0.20110513 from extra. When I used the AUR package, the styling was better.
1) When hitting Ctrl the workspace number was displayed.
2) When hitting Alt the window numbers were shown in the same style as close button just on the left side of the window. Now they are in the windows' top left corner and they are hard to seen.
Is there a way to get that styling? I think I could get the extension's stylesheet.css from the AUR package, but it will be overwrite with every upgrade.thumbs

[SOLVED] gnome-shell-extension-user-theme doesn't work.

gnome-tweak-tool shows that I have the gnome-shell-extension-user-theme extension installed and I can turn it on and off, but it has no effect. I still can't choose a theme. The exclamation mark next to the drop down selector is still active when the extension is on. Any idea what might be wrong?

Well yea I agree, but atm it's not going to happen. Anyway, since GS won't work with Catalyst for now I resorted to DWM and try to avoid all the gconf/dconf stuff. Works quite well

Can I instal Reader to a drive other than C:?

Is someone able to tell me how to instal Reader to a drive other than C:?
I am trying to free up space on C: and prefer to load the Reader files into another drive, but I did not see an option to do that when downloading, and the installer just starts automatically without prompting for a target folder.

Use the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and click on Change Destination Folder

Can I have an Action file install when a ZXP is opened in Extension Manager for CC 2014?

I have an extension that I'm packaging as a .zxp file. I'm using Adobe Exchange Packager and setting to the proper install location for the files for the extension.
However, my extension requires an action file (.atn) is installed in the user's Actions panel. Of course, I can include the .atn file in my package and copy it to a folder on the user's computer.... BUT, is there any way I can include that .atn file in the .zxp package and when Extension Manager unpacks the files, it INSTALLS the included .atn file into the user's version of Photoshop? So, this way the .atn file is already installed in the user's Actions panel after the extension installs through Extension Manager...so the user doesn't have to worry about installing the .atn file as well?
(If there were a folder to place the .atn file into, I could do that, but I do not believe that there are any folders for CC 2014 that hold .atn files in which the panel will read, if at first not installed in the normal way. I believe this is new for CC, and that the actions are held in a .psp file.)

I am not sure about the .atn file location but it sounds like you want to create a 'hybrid' extension.
You create a .ZXP containing your CS extension and then create an MXI file which includes the .ZXP and .atn file.
You would then wrap this into another .ZXP which will be used as the installer.

It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the size and RAM installed.
"Yesterday I couldn't update the maps on my Garmin because it said the OS I had wouldn't work"
What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:

How to do a clean install without loosing anything

Hi all,
I (foolishly) installed Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard as an update to my existing 10.5.8 Leopard install last year. Ever since I've had a host of small but annoying problems, that no one else seems to be complaining about. (For example in the finder half the time when I right click on a file the pop-up menu disappears after half a second and I have to click and hold to keep it open so I can make a selection.)
I'm starting to wonder if some of the problems I'm having are caused by the upgrade install, instead of a fresh install.
So I'd like to do a clean install of the OS, but it's been so long since I've done that I've forgotten how that works. How can I do a clean install without loosing all my data? Do I have to pull all my data off the hard drive, wipe it clean and start from scratch like you do on a PC, or is there an easier way? (I hope there is an easier way.) If someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

I'm starting to wonder if some of the problems I'm having are caused by the upgrade install, instead of a fresh install.
I did an upgrade install on my old MacBook Pro, and it worked just fine. The key is that the system has to be in good working order when the update is applied... if there are minor problems, those problems can be magnified by an upgrade.
Of course, this may not be your problem... have you checked all your software and hardware for compatibility with Snow Leopard? One site that you can use, though it's by no means comprehensive, is:
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
So I'd like to do a clean install of the OS, but it's been so long since I've done that I've forgotten how that works. How can I do a clean install without loosing all my data?
Unfortunately, there's no easy way to do a true clean reinstall. In a nutshell, here's what you need to do:
1) Back up all your data. Make sure you've got application serial numbers stored somewhere!
2) Now back up all your data in another place. If you don't have two copies, you won't have any backups after the next step... the backup from step 1 becomes the original, and a poorly-timed drive failure would ruin you.
3) Reboot from the Mac OS X install disk (SL disk in this case)
4) Erase the hard drive with Disk Utility
5) Install the system
6) Update everything to the current version via Software Update
7) Install any apps you need
8) Update those apps if necessary
9) Reconfigure anything that needs it (network settings, appearance preferences, etc)
10) Copy +only documents+, no settings files, from your backup, preferably manually rather than with Migration Assistant (which can sometimes copy more than you might want it to).
That's about it! For assistance with any of those items, just say the word.
