    Newly installed Acrobat will NOT open from Creative Cloud app on Desktop using Windows 7 Pro - what's the problem?

    the cc desktop app is used to install and update cc programs (and a few other thinigs).  but that does not include 'opening' the installed programs.
    click your start button or your program files directory to find the acrobat executable to launch acrobat (and any of your other apps, adobe or otherwise).

  • Can not use my backup photos, what am I doing wrong?

    I am having problems using the photos from my external hard drive. I switch library, and get all the thumbs up in iphoto. When I try to edit them or export in any way, I am not allowed to. This is very frustrating, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    n555:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The "!" in the edit window indicates that iPhoto has lost the link to the original file in the Originals folder. Check in the Originals folder to make sure you have the full sized image files in there.
    Did you rename or move any files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder? That's one way to get the situation you're experiencing but it would be only for those you tampered with. Since it's the entire library then you've probably fallen victim to the damaged database file problem that hit a lot of users.
    If the full sized image files are there you can try to rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all of the options. I'm not optimistic that the rebuild will recover your library but it's worth a try.
    If the rebuild does not work you'll have to start a new library and import the image files from the damaged one as follows:
    1 - rename the iPhoto Library folder that's on the external HD.
    2 - launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, select Create a new library, navigate to the external HD and do so.
    3 - with the new library open, drag the Originals folder from the old library into the open iPhoto window.
    This will give you a new library with the same rolls as the old one. However you'll lose your albums, slideshows, keywords, etc.
    To help protect from this type of problem in the future check out the tip at the end of my signature.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

    Hi Maryan,
    Open System Preferences > Displays > select the window for you external monitor > click on the Arrangement tab and check the box next to Mirror Displays. It may be slightly different in Lion, but the idea is the same.

  • My computer will not wake when I press a key or use the mouse....

    I have to say that I have a G4 but my question is not getting addressed in that forum and there ae many more users that utilize this one, so sorry for misleading. BUT, for some reason my computer will not wake when a key is pressed or the mouse activated. Any sugestions? Also, does anyone know of a program (shareware or free) that will clean my files and/or hard drive ( i.e. Macjanitor, Cocktail)? Thank you for your help.

    As a first step you could try trashing
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    and re-start and re-select your preferred System Preferences - Energy Saver settings.
    There are more suggestions here

  • I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  What do I do???

    I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  It keeps asking me to sync the ipod to this computer, but I'm scared to lose all my music.  I want to transfer some of the music onto my iphone but I can't.  I'm very frustrated and wish I knew more about computers at the moment!?!?  What do I do???

    You will need the help of some sort of 3rd party software to help you copy the content from your Shuffle back to your PC.  Once you have done that, you can reimport this music into iTunes and configure it to sync to your new Shuffle.

  • Have just purchased a Macbook Air, already have iPad and iPhone. Apps not appearing in App Store that are already on phone and iPad. what am i doing wrong?

    App help

    Not sure I understand the question... if you're trying to download apps to your Mac that you've downloaded to your iOS device, note that the Mac and the iPhone/iPad use two completely separate operating systems, therefore you need to purchase/download separate app versions for each OS.

  • Have been restarting imac due to sbbod but now computer will not restart.  Wheel under Apple logo just continues to spin. What do I do now?

    After every minute or so of use, I get the SBBOD.  Until now, I have been able to restart computer to try to work on problem.  But now the computer won't even start.  The wheel under the Apple logo just spins.  I did hardware test before and it was fine.  Now what?

    Try a Safe Boot. Hold down Shift at restart and give it much longer to boot. Leave it a while there without opening anything; then restart normally, but don't open anything for a few minutes. Then slowly open applications you use until you see at what point the SBBOD returns.
    Check to see how much CPU is being used in Activity Monitor in Utilities.

  • Ipad will not turn on the screen is just black, using the hone and power buttom together does not fix it

    my ipad screen is blue, using the home and power buttons together do not fix it.

    If you can't reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing, connect it to your charger for at least 15 minutes then try resetting it again  If it won't reset make an appointment with the Genius bar at a nearby Apple store to have it looked at.
