No longer able to place my "Draw my signature" option.

For years now I have been signing my PDF's with the signature I drew within Acrobat. But the last week or two. That option has not been available to me. Acrobat appears to only want me to place a certificate style signature. I do not want this. Can I reset Adobe Acrobat so I can use the "Draw my signature" option? I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro

Thank you for your response. Sorry I took a while to get back to you, but my family visited from New Jersey and Indiana and I have one child who lives near me and we were all busy and one family arrived ill. That was followed soon after by a leak in a pipe in my yard that bled out $400 worth of water in a week. With sick people in the house and the city turning off the water. So, my computer problems took a comfortable back seat.
I know the CS4 is old, but it worked a month ago before I got a new hard drive. I still have the same OS (Windows 7 Pro), so I know that's not it. I think it just installed with some quirks. I'd reinstall, but PhotoTools has to be installed after it. I had to call them up and get them to authenticate the product key and if I reinstall CS4, I'll have to do the same with PhotoTools and then fight with them again to authenticate it. I'm hoping to find a fix without a reinstall. That's for PhotoShop. As far as InDesign, it was reading docx'es a month ago, so that's not it either. I also don't want to upgrade because I'm an old lady and am used to functioning effectively with CS4. I've had PhotoShop since 01991. Back when PageMaker (the precursor of InDesign) was owned by Aldus.
I can do workarounds for these issues, but I just want to be able to work the way I was before. Oh God of the cyberheavens, why can't it be easy? There is also no way to get an answer from Adobe. They don't support previous versions. If you have any other insights, I'm here, open to the possibilities.

My indesign is no longer able to place MSword docx

I recently replaced my root hard drive and had to reinstall all my software. After I reinstalled Creative Suite 4, first, it complained about my video driver. I got a new card and everything was fine. I went to update a file I had in InDesign and found I couldn't use the place command to place a Word document from MS Office 2010. Any ideas? I've tried all I ahve.

I have an older version of creative suite that is no longer able to be loaded, what are my options?

I have all the serial numbers and discs, it just ownt load anymore. Why not considering I paid for it!?! what re my option to reinstall it. I dont think paying for another version is fair.

And what? What exact version? What system? You have not provided any useful technical info. That aside simply get used to the thought that this may not work. Operating systems and computers change and there will always come a day when old software will no longer be compatible.

I am no longer able to rotate drawing markups

I am no longer able to rotate drawing markups - I am using Acrobat X 10.1.4. What happened to this function of drawing markups such as circles, lines, squares?

Neither of the shapes have fill.
Wait! I thought that neither of these had fill, but the one I can manipulate has fill and when I added fill to the "after' shape I could manipulate it as I normally would. So it appears that I am a moron and was not used to dealing with just the border path, but an acutal filled shape.
Sorry for the waste of time and thank you for the help!

Imac is no longer able to open the Configuration file

Hi ,
I have an imac ( ilamp) 20' connected to ADSL, via Netopia Router which is connected to the Airport extreme connected to imac, for the PB Aluminum Tiger 10.4.5. we both can connect. PB can print via imac/printer.
The imac is no longer able to open the Configuration file, when i enter the pswd which is correct, i get the message "The Airport Admin. Utility was unable to read the configuration of the selected base station an error occurred while reading the configuration "
My Beau updated Airport to V5.7, this is the first time since the update I've tried to access the conf. file for the imac which i have done numerous times prior.
I have a new base station Ip address 254.128.0 in Airport Utility Admin, on the imac which does not reflect my network settings anywhere, and is not what it use to be, i think, it was one value different than the PB.Base station IP. I do not know how it changed neither one of us changed it.
I tried using the Airport Setup assistant (imac), I received this message:
"Appropriate Airport hardware was bot found on this computer,if you recently
Installed, an Airport card,please shut down your computer$ make sure the card is properly istalled."
The imac does not have a card, nor do i think it needs one.
I would like to be able to at least open the configuration file.
Thank you for reading my post.

Hi Kes, a star for the company !
I made an error on my first post I have a Netopia modem, Airport router.
And so it remains, i guess that there must be an easy answer somewhere
that I am missing that I/we should read, some direction to that would be helpful, and I would be very appreciative.
As I said the password had been set, and it is not an issue of that being forgotten, i wondered if it was changed back to "public" tried, not it.
particular because everytime the imac wakes one of the folders on ( no one else in office just me and boyfriend and it is his work folder he has a copy on the PB.( the folder on desk top has been clicked on, the one with sensitve info, i have backed the folder up and secure trashed it, just in case some security issue hacking has taken place, thats closing the barn door after the fact.
Good luck,w/ this Q.

Anyone else having this problem?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened. The Ask toolbar can be installed as part of Foxit.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

No longer able to access Web Management after Firmware Update [SF200]

Hello!
Today I was attempting to set up SNMP on our SF200-48 switch. I realized we were running old firmware which does not support SNMP and that the most current version (1.4.0.88) does support it. I attempted to upgrade the firmware but it failed, so I decided to install the 1.1.2.0 firmware because I read that the firmware flash process has changed before 1.4
Unfortunately, after rebooting I was no longer able to access web management on the switch. Unfortunately SF200 switches do not support CLI.
The switch is functional and responds to ping, but I cannot get into management to do anything, is there any steps we can try or will I need to reset the switch? After resetting the switch, will I lose any configuration but still not be able to access management? We do not have any other switches to drop in place of this one, and I'd like to minimize downtime as much as possible.
thanks,
Graham Rounds

Hi Graham,
if you are sure that the ping response is coming from the switch then I guess the only thing you could try is the factory reset but you will loose all the configuration. You might call also Small Business Team and open a ticket so they will proceed with RMA if necessary:

I am no longer able to create chapters in my Apple TV files

I am no longer able to create chapters in my Apple TV files. When I first started editing on the Mac (November 2009) I had a brand new iMac and Snow Leopard. With Snow Leopard came a 'special' version of QuickTime (QT X?) which were told not to update to 'Pro' (QT 7 Pro). My process was to use FCE with chapter markers to export my home videos to a QuickTime file. FCE created a beautiful .mov file with embedded visual chapters as I had marked them. It imported fine into iDVD. The next step was to 'Save As' within QuickTime and choose to save with the Apple TV profile. The .mov file would be converted and everything, including Chapters, would go with it. From Apple TV, I could peruse my home movies and dig deeper via chapters. Amazing and totally cool.
About 9 months ago, maybe a year, the chapters were no longer saving with the Apple TV format. This meant that each hour long home movie could not be accessed via chapters.
Was this functionality removed from QuickTime X? Is there any way to get it back? I am almost a year behind in my editing since I can no longer easily get the chapter markers in.
Thanks,
D.

im glad that somebody is atleast trying. perhaps i need to be more clear.
i will step by step describe the issue in detail.
1) i open an email that contains an attachment .dxf or .pdf
2) i click on the attachment shown in the email and aprompt comes up asking if i want to open or save the attachment.
3) i select save. (by default it saves to a downloads folder. but i have also chosen to use other folders (when i did that it wouldnt save them)
4) i highlight the downloads arrow on the right top side of my browser and click it
5) it pulls down a list of the files that i USED to be able to click and drag onto my destop, or anyplace i chose
6) used to be when i clicked and held the left mouse button down on top of a file of my choosing it would highlight and as i began to drag, a ghost image would appear of the file i was dragging. showing a (/) symbol next to it showing i couldnt drop the file within the browser and a + simbol showing that i could drop the file when the file was hovering over a place where i could drop the file such as my desktop or other folder. now, when i click and hold on the file.... I DONT get anything. when i drag. nothing follows. while i am "dragging" in the area that is my browser, i get the pointy finger icon. as soon as i enter an area where i could have dropped the file as before, i get my standard cursor arrow.
its really as if the drag and drop feature just dosent work IN FIREFOX.
i can drag and drop files all day long everyplace else.

Why am I no longer able to customize the order of addon buttons in the addon bar as of Firefox 8.0 beta?

I have 3 add-ons which place themselves in the add-on bar: NetVideoHunter, Adblock Plus, Rikaichan
I am no longer able to rearrange them as in the past, using the procedure as quoted from the [[What is the Add-on Bar?]] page. Step three does not appear to work any longer.
How do I customize the Add-on Bar?
# Right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip, select Customize... and the Customize Toolbar window will open.
# Drag and drop the items you want into the Add-on Bar.
# To rearrange items, drag them into the order you want them to appear.

Press the key combination option-command-3 to show the TOC, and option-command-1 to hide it.

[SOLVED] SLiM no longer able to switch desktop environments

So after the latest upgrade of slim (1.3.5 -> 1.3.6) I am no longer able to switch between desktop environments using F1. Now it just boots my default environment (dwm). I had it configured fine and it worked before this update. Is there a fix?

My computer has been infected with a Trojan Horse. It has completely taken over my Mac email account and was sending out malicious email to everyone in my address book. At the same time it infected my iPhone---I am no longer able to receive or send emai

My computer has been infected by a Trojan Horse. It has taken over my Mac email account and began sending out malicious emails to everyone in my address book. I cleared out my MAC address book and began using my AOL email account. It took a few days and then my AOL email account was infected and has now been send out malicious email to all my contacts for over a month. It has also infected my iPhone--I am no longer able to send or receive emails on my iPhone. Also, once the Trojan Horse began using my AOL email it completely blocked me from using my MAC account by sending never ending popups asking for my email password to access my MAC email account, but it never accepts my pass word. The TH has also slowed down everything on my computer. It's like I am working on an old PC with dial up connection instead of the high speed digital connection that I have. The little color wheel spins constantly as I wait for sometimes over a minute for a page to pull up. If it pulls up at all. I have tried to use the 2 disks that came with my computer to completely remove everything on my computer and then reinstall all the programs, but I am not allowed to sweep my computer clean. I thought maybe my disks that came with my computer were defective so I called Apple and they sent me 2 new disks. I am not able able to clear my computer with the 2 new disks either. I have done this before successfully so it's not something new to me. I do remember when I believe my computer became infected: I had googled an unusual sewing term, and I was opening what appeared to be legitimate sites, when all of a sudden a pop up appeared that said that my computer had been infected. I immediately shut my computer off, but it was too late. I downloaded a virus program for Mac, and it has never found a virus or problem at all. I think it is part of this Trojan Horse, but I am unable to delete it from my computer. It refuses to uninstall. The Mac Trojan Horse is real and it is terrible. If anyone has any suggestions for me I would be very appreciative,

Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install? Can anyone help me?

updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

I am running Mac OSx Lion 10.7.2.
My issue is that I am not able to run a search in the finder toolabar on a network server. No files show up nor does it search on the server anymore. I was able to run the search in snow-leopard and am no longer able to do so with Lion. Is there a preference I can change or some kind of app or program I can download that will help me with this issue? This is extremely problematic for me as I am searching for files all day everyday. Thank you!

Hello,
It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
Reset the Firewire bus
If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device. A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
1. Shut the machine down.
2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
3. leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Connect back up and reboot.
