Reader 11 keeps deleting itself

Hi there, I just upgraded a network of around 150 users to reader 11 from 10 and am having a problem. All of the workstations are running windows 7 by the way. I install reader, use it for about a day and then it mysteriously vanishes. Fr some users I have already installed reader 3+ times. HELP PLEASE!  If anyone is having a similar issue, has any questions or has some advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

One more thing. Adobe Reader is installed of course to the Program Files (or -X86) directory. I assume you are checking this to see that it has really gone. And you'll know whether the heirarchy of folders it created (e.g. Adobe/Adobe Reader 11.0 or whatever) is left behind.
Well, consider that when something is deleted, the parent folder's timestamp is updated.
So... suppose you find that a Reader 11.0 folder is gone but an Adobe folder is left behind. As soon as you find it gone, check the timestamp on the Adobe folder. This is quite likely to be the time when Reader was deleted - or no later than that time. Knowing whether it was yesterday, this morning or the middle of the night might tell you something. Also, if the timestamp hasn't been updated at all, that tells you something else about things being magically undone/restored/whatever. 
If the Adobe folder goes, check the program files folder. And so on.

  • My history keeps deleting itself. How do I prevent this?

    I went to the options tab and private browsing is not on. The box about clearing history every time I exit isn't checked. Every thing is the same, except my history just automatically deletes itself. I don't know what happened.

    Hi Charlie, did you managae to figure out this problem. I have the same problem using exchange and ssl.
    It gets stuck in a look and keeps re-sending the message.
    Many Thanks

  • My history keeps deleting itself.

    The history from "today" is the only history that is saved. Every time I close my browser, the history is erased.

    I have the same problem. All my history settings are set to save the history. I even tried a custom setting set the same way, and it still does it. It started with ver. 10 and this is not my only problem since the last version update. I did a complete uninstall and reinstalled Firefox to fix that problem. Not to mention the time I wasted messing with it before I did that. Kind of like right now. Firefox has been flawless for years, all of a sudden these little problems are surfacing. I'm sure they will get it right eventually.

  • Why does iTunes keep deleting music from off my iPhone

    Ok so my music from iphone keeps deleting itself. I keep having to restore this dumb phone only to lose my information days and sometimes hours later. This is the final straw for me. I've restored this phone 20 times in a week! Im tired of dealing with all of these technical issues so when my contract is up I'm done with this thing. Is there ANYTHING I can do in the meantime to keep from losing my music.

    I'll continue the discussion. I find the item in question. There was an app that I had deleted from my iTunes but was still on my iPhone dspite numerous syncs. I deleted the separately from my iPhone and no longer received the warning message described above.
    Now however, when I delate an app in iTunes not only does the app stay on the iPhone but I do not even get the warning message.
    My next step is to perform a restore. Perhaps this will clear up both this problem and a series of other issues like the wi-fi on/off randomly greying out on the iPhone and having all of my music on the iPhone disappearing after a sync.

    Do you use MobileMe and an iPhone? If yes, do this in the following order:
    Mac:
    (1) back up the applications giving you problems
    iPhone
    (1) Open settings, then open "mail, contacts, calendars"
    (2) Open .Mac account
    (3) Turn OFF the applications that are causing problems
    (4) When you turn off on of the applicatios, a red sign "stop syncing" will appear. Press it. A msg will appear "turning off xxx"
    (5) Get out of settings
    (6) Don't do anything for about 20 mins. Don't touch your iPhone or your Mac. (syncing needs time to settle down)
    After 20 minutes...
    Mac:
    (1) Open each application that is giving you problems. Fix errors. Back up.
    (2) Do this for each application
    iPhone
    (1) Open settings, then open "mail, contacts, calendars"
    (2) Open .Mac account
    (3) Slide switch to ON for each app you turned off; there won't be a msg
    (4) Get out of settings
    (5) Via MobileMe, syncing will start again.
    Wait about 20 minutes, again. You should see all in order after that. At least, that was my experience.

  • Adobe reader X 10.1.1 installer file deletes itself after installation starts?

    On my windows 7 pro 64bit, I downloaded the installer and installed adobe reader 10.1.1. Right after I started the installation the installer file disappeared. Did the installer file delete itself? Is this normal and as designed?
    The installer file name:
    install_reader10_en_air_gtbd_aih.exe

    The answer to the original poster's question is that this is normal and as designed.
    But *WHY* did Adobe design it this way?  It's simple enough to make a copy before doing the installation, but the first time it happens I have to stop and figure out if it's normal.
    I suppose there might be some benefit for the average naive user, but still, most installers don't have this behavior.

  • Adobe reader deleted itself during 9.1 update!

    I let Adobe reader try to upgrade itself to 9.1 while I was viewing a PDF from the web inside the Opera web browser. Everything seemed to be going fine. I got two notifications from the notification area (lower right screen) corner, saying that updates were ready. A bunch of dialog boxes and progress bars, including one that said "validating install." Then a message popped up saying that the install failed.
    Then I went into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0 and found it completely empty except for an emtpy "Resource" folder. I looked in the "uninstall a program" window in the control panel and Adobe Reader was not there. It is totally gone! I can't open PDFs by double clicking them. None of my web browsers can open PDFs either. This thing is GONE.
    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium. I am running as standard user (not administrator). Using the Opera web browser.

    This seems quite normal to me; it uninstalled 9.0 successfully, then unsuccessfully tried to install 9.1 - maybe it should have done a rollback...?
    However, why not just retry the install of 9.1...?

  • Is there a way to create a user account that "expires", or self deletes itself after a set amount of time?

    I am hoping to find a way to create an Admin account for our parent body that can be used for items at home, "adding printers, software, wireless settings, etc...), but have that account either "expire" or self delete itself after say 72 hours?
    Thoughts?
    Jesse

    Will they be needing to keep files saved for a while?  I'm guessing no, since you're ok with it auto-deleting after a short while.
    You could just use the guest user:  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11321
    But I'm not aware of any way that you could setup an account to expire.

  • N97 keeps restarting itself and turning itself off...

    Hi everyone,
    A few months ago I bought an N97 from England and I have some very annoying bugs and a few questions I’d like to ask.
    First of all, the phone keeps restarting itself (it is now up to 5 times a day if not more!!!), and at night it even turns itself off (I mean I wake up in the morning and the phone is off).
    The other bug is that I cannot exit applications through the “open apps” menu (which is accessed by long-pressing the menu button). When I try to exit an application through there the phone crashes.
    I did hard reset, soft reset, formatted E drive (each of those several times btw) and none of this helped. I took it to the nokia care center (the only one in Israel BTW!) and they said that they’ve never heard of those problems and it shouldn’t happen, so they reinstalled my firmware. After that didn’t work, I came back to them and they tried reinstalling the firmware again (they thought something maybe went wrong last time) and that didn’t work either. So I gave them my phone and they had it for 2 weeks during which they tried solving the problem themselves (not sure If that’s true) and after they failed, they sent it to the nokia factory\manufacturer lab in Israel (or at least that’s what they told me). In the first few days everything seemed ok and the phone did not restart itself (that menu bug was still happening) but after less than a week the phone restarted itself again. So I called them and they said it’s probably a bug in the V20 software and they reported it to nokia head quarters in Finland (yeah right…). Anyways… the “restarting itself” bug frequency was decreased substantially for a while, but now it’s back to restarting itself several times a day and turning itself completely off at night (it even happened to me during the day once or twice already-which never happened before).
    I’ve read that hundreds (if not thousands) of other N97 owners have those problems too but I couldn’t find a solution. Anyone have any ideas???
    Now… during my search in different forums I searched the one in the nokia Israel website and I accidently came across a replay that said that the “exit an app through the open app menu” bug only happens when the phone language is set to Hebrew! And guess what?! HES RIGHT! I changed the language of my phone to English and I have successfully exited the music player through the “open app” menu without the phone crashing! WHAT THE FU** IS GOING ON?! As I said, I’ve came across many other users who have this bug and they obviously don’t have Hebrew on their phone. How does that make any sense?!. Although I have no problem with English I’m more comfortable with my phone language being set to Hebrew since I got used to the buttons locations and now they are all “backwards” which is really annoying! (for example just now I wanted to put a call on loudspeaker but hung up because the 2 buttons have now switched sides).
    Anybody knows anything about those bugs and\or how to fix them?!
    Now… I would like to ask something:
    I’ve noticed that my C drive only has 35MB of free memory. So I went into “memory details” and I see that 12MB is taken by “SIS applications” and 25MB (!!!) is taken by “other files”. I should mention that I put all my files and install all my apps on the E drive when given the choice (only apps from ovi store don’t give you that choice).
    Is there any way I can see which applications and files (if it’s even possible for individual files) are installed on C so I can delete some of them? When I go to “phone memory” through “file manager” and I manually open all the folders there (games, images, installed files, nokia, other, sound files and all those), they are all empty. I mean I have a few files on C but they are some sort of text files and they weigh pretty much nothing… most of the folders are completely empty (some have 1 or 2 of those text files). Please help me!
    Since I’m already posting this message, anybody knows anything about V21?! Ive read about some update that’s coming out on the 28th, but when I asked nokia care about V21 they said they don’t know anything about it. Anybody has any information regarding V21?
    Thank you!

    1. Did this start shortly after you installed a particular application?
    -no. in fact, just to make sure, after the nokia people re-installed my firmware (which deleted everything from the C drive) i formatted the E drive and did not install anything to see if it still happens. sure enough after 2 days, the phone restarted.
    2. Did this start after a firmware update?
    -yes. it never happened before the V20 version. (or at least i havent noticed that it happened).
    3. Have you tried reinstalling the firmware through Ovi/PC suite?
    -this is how i installed it the first time. altough everyone says its bad and you shouldnt do it and you should go to the nokia center and they will do it for you.
    about this... i dont understand why nokia is giving us a tool to update our software for free... but then say "you shouldnt use that tool. go to your nokia care center and they will do it for you" which wastes valuable time and money (not surprisngly... my warrenty doesnt apply in Israel so i have to pay for that kind of stuff). nokia is the biggest cellphone company in the WORLD! why cant they give an international warrenty?!
    *any idea why the "exit an app through open app menu" bug is only happening when the phone language is set to hebrew?! i mean thats very bizzare...
    *so the update on the 28th is not the full V21 i understand...? will it atleast fix the self restarting and self turning off problem?! i mean i can handle not exiting an app through the menu (unless an app gets stuck and then its just annoying because you cant close it). but i cannot have a phone which turns itself off and restarts itself... that is just ridiculous.

  • N85- keeps connecting itself to the Internet

    Hello!
    My phone (N85) keeps connecting itself to the internet every minute or so.
    This is driving me crazy cause I don't have a data plan.
    So I had to check my phone every minute and disconnected the Internet.
    Now I'm back home and it keeps connecting itself to WLAN.
    What should I do?!
    'Thanks in advance! :'(
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Actually, if you just remove the mobile network access point your phone will only be able to connect to WLAN and so no connection when out of range from your network at home.
    First select the offline profile, then delete the mobile data access point in Tools > Settings > Connection > Destinations

  • An oc4j instance keeps restarting itself.

    Hi there,
    We have a issue that an oc4j instance is keeping restarting itself. It will stop, start, and as soon as it's started, it will stop again like an infinite loop.
    Is there any one experienced this and please share some insight about this problem.
    Thanks,
    Xingsheng

    Hi lara7705,
    I'm sorry to hear about the issues with the new device. Try to press the power button until the phone vibrates 3 times. This is equal to taking the battery out. No data/settings lost
    Observe if this happens when some particular application is open. If you notice a pattern, delete this application and see it makes a difference.
    First of all please make a backup with Nokia Suite. Type in *#7780# followed by lock code (default is 12345). This is soft reset, no data lost but settings will be restored to factory state. 
    You can also reinstall the phone software. The process is the same as when updating with Nokia Suite, but at the end select "Reinstall".
    If it's still the same, type in *#7370# followed by lock code. This is hard reset, phone memory will be wiped so make sure you have the backup. Restore the back up. If not all applications are restored, please re-download them from Nokia Store > My Stuff.
    Hope the phone starts working normally.

  • Fourth generation iPad keeps restarting itself randomly

    My brand new fourth generation iPad (Wi-Fi+Cellular, 32 GB) keeps restarting itself randomly. I did the iTunes restoring procedure 2 times, the second one I also delete completely everything from the device before, in order to install the iOS 6.1 on a surely "new" device. I also avoided the iCloud synchronization and just download a casual app in order to test the problem. The iPad restarts again and again. Any suggestion? Anyone had the same problem here? Please share your experience.
    Tomorrow I'll have an appointment with the Genius Bar. Hope it would be useful.

    TY Mark, hope they would really help me and not just give me a factory refurbished unit.
    I paid full price for a new one so i should get a new one. I am an apple fan and expect excellent service, not jokes.
    Anyone knows something about the causes of this behaviour?
