Need Help. Since update the reader as changed program association

Since I don't trust updates I held out for months on XI but finally succumbed and after installation I noticed that many files that relate to another specific program now carry the Reader icon.  Since the files are not pdf, they won't open.  As a Windows 7 user I tried to change the association be normal means but as soon as I finish and go back to the desktop, I get the same Adobe message: "Adobe could not open because it is not an accepted file (etc)".  Since the program is a professional music notation program with the suffix .sib, I don't understand why Adobe would take all of these on (hundreds of files).  They are music files and essential.
Please please please, if you have any answers please let me know.

It's difficult to follow your explanation as it isn't exact. A good thing would be to post screen shots of your error messages, if not please quote the messages exactly, word for word, completely.

    Thank you very much in advance

    First off, note that this question should have been posted in the Swing section.
    GUI events run in a separate thread (the AWT / Event Dispatch Thread) than your program.
    You should be invoking AWT/Swing events via SwingUtilities.invokeLater().
    If for whatever reason you want to have the program thread wait for the event to process
    you can use invokeAndWait().

  • Need help with adding the following to a program

    Modify the mortgage program to display the mortgage payment amount. Then, list the loan balance and interest paid for each payment over the term of the loan. The list would scroll off the screen, but use loops to display a partial list, hesitate, and then display more of the list. Do not use a graphical user interface. Insert comments in the program to document the program.
    Currently I am working on adding the following line in bold but getting error expected ";" on line 27

  • Help with updates - The software change returned error code 0x87D00215(-2016411115).

    I have rolled out bunch of updates across few hundred workstation systems.
    Few of the desktops have failed to install SOME of the updates and just can't get my head around as to why?
    Looking at one of the workstations, I can see 5 updates are pending download at 0%.
    Some of these fail after a while and with in Software Centre, I can see 'Help with updates - The software change returned error code 0x87D00215(-2016411115).'. Not exactly sure what this means, but I have tried clearing the cache and
    rebooting the workstations few times.
    (I have also tried to use Windows Update and install one of these manually, which worked.)

    Investigating this further, I have found the following in CAS.log:

  • Since updating the new version of Firefox my Memory Card to download photos wont work. Anyone help? (Please explain in simple terms, im a novice) thank you.

    I regulardy used my Memory Card to download pictures, but its only since updating the new version of Firefox it wont read the Memory Card. I have no information on the screen of my computer when I put the Memory Card in.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

  • Since updating the new software on my iphone5 I cannot sign in to FaceTime. It advises me to check my internet connection which is working ok. Please can someone advise me.

    Since updating the new software on my iphone5 I cannot sign in to FaceTime. It advises me to check my internet connection which is working ok. Please can someone advise me.

    Hey jeanettefromiw,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues signing into FaceTime on your iPhone 5. The following resources should assist you in troubleshooting these issues:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268
    If you see "Could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again" when signing in to your Apple ID
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Verify that you have a data connection by going to www.apple.com in Safari. You can complete Apple ID activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. If you need help connecting to Wi-Fi, follow these steps.
    If you're using Wi-Fi, make sure that your local Wi-Fi network is using the recommended Wi-Fi settings.
    Sign in to your account and ensure that the primary email address and alternate e-mail addresses have been verified. If verification is pending, follow the instructions in the email Apple sent to that email address to complete verification. Or remove the e-mail addresses from the account.
    If your Apple ID isn't an email address, you can change it. The Apple ID that you're using to activate FaceTime or iMessage must be an email address. Find more information on how to change your Apple ID.
    Tap Settings > General > Date & Time. Make sure that your iPhone is set to the correct time zone. If Set Automatically is on but the wrong time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
    Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to a different Wi-Fi network (in a different location) if a cellular data connection is not available.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I need help understanding how the Apple components integrate to create a system across all my devices?

    I need help understanding how the Apple components connect to create a whole system across all my devices?
    Is there a resource that describes current system and associated functionality?
    For example:
    Buy A, B, C to achieve "X" 
    You will need:
    an internet provider which supports <specs>
    add D to achieve "Y"
    You will need:
    an internet provider which supports <specs>
    add "E" to achieve "Z"
    You will need:
    an internet provider which supports <specs>
    For example, I am looking at the Gen 6 Airport extreme.  For intended performance do I need broadband? if so what are the specs, or will basic internet service suffice?  Do I need the internet provider's modem or does the Airport extreme replace that?  And then I think, if I am doing this, I should also look at Apple TV....What do I need and Why?  Then I look at the New Desk top coming out in the fall, and I think well, if I wait and get this, what does this component do for the system, and what becomes redundant? What does this awesome desktop do for my ability to sit and use a new macbook air when I travel  or sit on the couch in my PJs?
    If there was a place that plainly stated "if you buy the new dektop you can configure a system including only these components and achieve <this result> and by adding <additional components> you will achieve this result.
    I have been to the genius store a few times, but I come out of there more confused unless I have SPECIFIC questions or already know what to buy. 
    A "System Configuration App" would be a really great sales tool--Just saying.

    I have no idea what "fully optimized" means.
    No Apple device will let you watch broadcast TV. The Apple TV is a good option for watching streaming TV from iTunes, NetFlix and Hulu. If you want to watch from other sources, you may need to look at other devices.
    Any Mac computer or iPad will allow you to surf the web.
    What business software?
    Time Capsule is a good option for back ups.
    Update what across all devices?
    For accessing documents from all devices, a service like Dropbox is your best bet.
    I have no idea what "step as far away from an internet provider as possible" means. If you want Internet access, you need an Internet provider.
    Lighting fast speed for what? Processor? The specs are listed for all devices in the Online Store. Internet? We're back to the service provider.
    Technology changes. The only way to keep pace with it beyond a couple of years is to buy new stuff.
    The bottom line is you need to look at the specs for devices availble and at your budget and decide what best meets your needs. If you are unable to do that on your own, there are lot of technology consultants out there who will, for a fee, look at your exact situation, make recommendations and even handle the purchase and set up. Perhaps that would be the best route for you.
    Best of luck.

  • Since updating the IOs platform pop up advertising is appearing everywhere how do i stop it?

    Since updating the IOs platform pop up advertising is appearing everywhere how do i stop it?

    You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of today, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
    The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
              com.something.daemon.plist
    and
               com.something.helper.plist
    Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes the word is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
    If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    In this folder, there may be a file named
              com.something.agent.plist
    where the word something is the same as before.
    If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
    Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
    Open this folder:
    /Library/Application Support
    If it has a subfolder named just
               something
    where something is the same word you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
    Finally, in this folder:
    /System/Library/Frameworks
    there may an item named exactly
                v.framework
    It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
    If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
    If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
    The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

    In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

    If it is Win 7 or later, the Adobe PDF printer for AA 7 will not install and AcroTray will not function. You will have to install a PS driver from Adobe or maybe an HP color PS printer driver. Then edit the driver properties and change the name to Adobe PDF and the port to FILE. You will always have to do an extra step in creating PDFs by opening the file that is created in Distiller to get the PDF.
    If you are talking about Win 8, you may not be successful at all. If you got Acrobat and Distiller to install, then there is a chance.

    I need help with updating my browser.  Its telling me that Safari is outdated.

    That is a very old version belonging to Snow Leopard. I take it you are not actually running Yosemite.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
