Reader dominates my computer

Each time I install Adobe Reader it changes almost every icon to the red Reader icon and practically nothing works on my machine.
Then I must uninstall it to get back to normal.
BUT I need to open PDF files and can't do it with the Adobe Reader.
What to do?
Thanks,
Dick

  • My ipod isn't being read by any computer

    I have an Ipod classic. It stopped being read by any computer. It still plays music, however, after about 3-4 songs, it takes awhile to play another. I save a few files on it and was wanting to figure out who I could take it to to recover any of those files. I know that if I send it to Apple it will get wiped. Need to get those files, so any kinda advise or suggestions would help me out.

    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

    Hey Stan1958,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPod nano and iTunes. Based on your symptoms, you may find the following resources helpful in resolving this issue:
    Windows
    iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
    iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
    iTunes reports that "iTunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time"
    Thanks,

    I have Adobe Reader on my computer and want to install Adobe X Standard - Do I need to purchase an upgrade or full version?

    You buy a full version. There are no upgrade discounts from a tool that is free, anyway.

  • Set sharing on system to read only now computer wlll not boot up

    set sharing on system to read only now computer wlll not boot up

    Hello skiboat2, 
    Because the permissions have been changed, you will need to put them back to what they were before. One of the ways to do that is to reinstall your OS X to make sure that everything permission wise gets put back to what it needs to be to work properly. Based of to the operating system that you say you have, I have provided the steps for reinstalling Snow Leopard. When doing this, it does not overwrite your personal data; it only touches the operating system.

  • Adobe Reader for offline computer

    I need Adobe Reader on a computer that does not have access to the internet. Is it possible to download AR as a file to a portable drive without installing, so it can be copied to an offline computer and installed? I do not have time to follow another online forum, so if anyone has a solution, please email me directly at [email protected]
    Many, many thanks...

    Get it from here

  • IMac, 10.9.4, 'drive cannot be read by this computer' message

    Just installed Mavericks. 10.9.4. Older WD FW drives--no problems.
    New WD USB drives-- messages at startup: 'this drive cannot be read by this computer'
    i can click either Eject or Ignore. If I hit Ignore, the drives mount and appear to be normal
    and I can copy files to them. At least until they eject themselves. I've followed the other threads about the ejecting
    drives, but have not seen anything re these messages I get at startup. What can I do to fix this?

    Found a fix for two of the new drives:
    Deleted MacKeeper
    Deleted all WD files, downloaded WD's Support for Drivers, supposed to help with Mavericks, then deleted it
    Reformated both drives
    After checking my new WD 4 T drive in Disk Utility and finding either drive was ok or it was damaged and couldn't be repaired, I decide to erase and reformat. Totally surprised to see that the original format was FAT. I reformatted to Mac, extended journaled, and so far I can copy files to the drive easily and much faster than before.
    Feel really unintelligent for not confirming the format first!  I'm usually way more competent than that!
    No wonder the drive couldn't be read by my iMac.

  • Console logs: Couldn't read user-specified computer name

    Last night I was experiencing frozen apps, was unable to open web pages and could not open the Apple menu to Restart computer. Somehow I eventually managed to Restart and everything seemed OK.
    When I checked in Console logs tonight, I saw this message:
    Couldn't read user-specified Computer name; using default using default "Macintosh 00145112d484. local instead"
    I found BDAqua"s reply to a similar problem dated 4/14/08 - "Try editing it in both places in Sharing Pref pane." However, I could not find what I exactly had to edit!
    I would greatly appreciate some help. Thanks.

    Hi there,
    However, I could not find what I exactly had to edit!
    In System Preferences>Sharing Pref pane...
    Then click on the edit button to verify, it'll have the .local after it here.

  • I rarely check my email on my iPad mini. But when I do hundreds of unread messages are downloaded, all of which I've read on my computer. Then I have to select each message to delete it, or all selected as a batch. How do I see recents only?

    What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

    Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.
