Is There a Way To Restore System Files When They Have Been Overwritten As PDF Files?

A friend of mine installed the last Acrobat update last week on her Windows 7 system.  Everything seemed fine until she tried to view the Manual for her FujiFlilm Camera.  All of a sudden all of her System Files were overwritten as PDF files, her Security software was gone, and she could no longer get on the internet.  When she attempted to restore to a previous version on her computer, she was unable to do it.  Is there anyway of restoring her system without losing everything?  And has anyone had this problem?  I have also received this update but have not downloaded it for fear I too may experience the loss of everything.

I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for, but the message came from Adboe Reader saying the latest update was available, so she clicked on it to download and install.
The Fujifilm Manual came on a CD with the camera.  That was the first time she utilized the PDF function after downloading the update.
Does that help you?

  • I have converted a number of songs to mp3 format on my iMac, is there a way to view just the songs that have been converted in iTunes?

    I have converted a number of songs to mp3 format on my iMac, is there a way to view just the songs that have been converted in iTunes?

    You can view tracks in a given format by selecting to show the Kind column. If you mean you want to determine which specific MP3 tracks you have that were converted by iTunes as opposed to being imported in MP3 format, Get Info on a track and look at the "encoded with" field.

  • Why isn't there a TechNet forum for ADFS yet? They have been forwarding questions to the "Project Geneva" forum for years now.

    Why isn't there a TechNet forum for ADFS yet? They have been forwarding questions to the "Project Geneva" forum for years now.
    It would be nice if there was IT Pro specific forum. The MSDN Geneva forum has people who have programming questions for WIF in addition to people trying to get ADFS and Web App Proxy setup.
    WHY?

    Given the growing importance of Office 365 and the role of ADFS in some of the larger deployments, that may happen. Someday.
    It is somewhat arbitrary.
    AD DS, AD CS, AD FS, and AD RMS are all considered components of Active Directory.
    I suppose that's what the AD stands for...
    Yet, most ADCS questions are posted and answered in the Technet Security forum.
    ADFS questions are often referred to Project Geneva.
    Directory Services has its own forum.
    Group Policy has its own forum.
    +++
    If you look in "related threads", someone asked a question precisely about ADCS:

  • Is there any way to restore deleted files?

    Hi. I have not installed time machine on my Mac Pro and accidentally deleted a lot of picture files, included emptied the trash can. Is there anything I can do to restore the files?

    Try using an application such as Data Rescue or FileSalvage. Don't write anything else to the drive until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.

  • Is there a way to flag events on the Calendar differently?  I want to put bills in my Calendar on the days they are usually due (repeating monthly).  I want to flag them somehow when they have been paid.

    Is there a way to flag events on the Calendar.  I want to put bills to be paid (and have them repeat monthly) on my Calendar.  I would like to be able to flag them after they are paid.  I tried to put them in using the "Home calendar" blue, and them change them to purple (Work Calendar) after I had paid them.  The problem is that once I changed a bill from blue to purple it changed all upcoming bills for future months to purple also.

    You might want to try Reminders.
    Creat a Bill Pay list, add all your bills set a reminder to repeat every month and when you pay one just check them off as complete

  • Why do files show in all my files when they have been deleted

    In finder > all my files > there are files that have been put in trash yet they show up when I delete them it wants me to fix alias but won't work because the file has been deleted

    Have you tried to drag the alias to the desktop?
    When you look at an alias, what folder is it stored in? If you highlight it, it should show the information in the path bar at the bottom of the finder window. If the path bar isn't visible, click on View and select show path bar.
    You may try to repair permissions using disk utility and see if that helps.

  • Is there a way to mass-"tell-itunes-where-mp4s-have-been-moved-to?"

    Well, I've decided to keep all of my mp4's in a central location, off of my primary hard drive which is where iTunes thinks they are now. The way I have changed locations in iTunes before is manually going in, right clicking, going to "get info," clicking "yes" when it says "do you want to locate this file," browsing around for it, WAITING for "get info" to eventually pop up, closing it, and moving on to the next file. Very time consuming. Is there a more efficient way to do this? I have about 25 files I'm moving.

    Place all the songs into a Playlist, 'Get Info' on the first, llocate it, then select 'Next' within 'Get Info' to move to the next song.
    It's that, or delete the 25 broken references within iTunes then re-Add them back into the Library (File=>Add Folder/File).

  • Is there any way to minimize/hide games when they're running full screen?

    so i'm a seasoned mac user, but i've always wanted to be able to do this, i've tried virtuedesktops to try and switch screens, but whatever i do, i have to quit the game if i want to change something on my desktop. that, or run it in a window, which kinda s u c k s. i know in windows you can minimize anything by hitting the window key. things like apple-tab don't work either. there must be some way to do this!

    That seems to depend on the game. Certain games seem to disable your ability to switch tasks. But what you could try is to induce the Force Quit (command-option-escape) dialog. If my experience serves correct, this seems to override whatever wants to prevent multi-tasking.

  • My apps are stuck on "Waiting..." when they have been downloaded after iCloud backup restore

    My apps were downloaded from my iCloud backup after restoring and updating to iOS 7 and it didn't work quite good. Many apps got stuck "Waiting...", but they're not downloading at all. I can access them through the app store purchased apps section or through multitasking. They work perfectly but the icon doesn't. I tried to delete them, re-download them, I tapped the app icon and nothing worked. What can I do?

    By the way, I've tried to sync it again with iTunes and it doesn't sync the "Waiting..." apps. Every time I plug my iPhone and try to check its apps, iTunes stops working for some unknown reason. I forgot to mention that it's an iPhone 4S. Can anyone please help me? This is getting pretty annoying, considering WhatsApp is among these damaged apps and I use it quite a lot.

  • Hi i was wondering wether i can retrieve (get back) any photos when they have been deleted (by the way it wernt backed up)

    If you don't have a backup or never imported your pics to your computer, then no you can't retrieve it.

  • Is there a way to restore an erased history?

    My kids have recently started erasing the history on my computer.  I want to go back and see what they are looking at.  Is there any way to restore a history once it has been cleared?  Thanks

    bsebrell --
    Not easily, that I'm aware of.  You would need to purchase a data recovery program, which I understand is very pricey. 
    Maybe you could make your kids have their own "non-administrative" accounts, where they will not be able to erase hiistories?  They should have their own non-admin accounts at any rate.
    All the best.  I raised my kids PC (Pre-Computer).  I can only imagine if I had to deal with their computer usage, on top of all the other stuff!
    Hang in!

  • I updated to IOS 5 and apparently didn't get my apps backed up. So, they are now lost. Is there any way to restore them?

    I updated to IOS 5 and apparently didn't get my apps backed up. So, they are now lost. Is there any way to restore them?

    Are they backed up to your computer? If so you can go to the "Apps" tab in the main window of your iPad and resync them there.
    OR
    On you iPad go to App Store > Updates and the first tab should be something called "Purchased" (if you have already entered you Apple ID) and you can re-download from there.
