Registry cleaner/defrag wipes out license information, how to fix?

I bought the product after the 30day trial and installed the license key when I received it after purchase verification.  Every time the registry defrag/cleaner runs, the product warns me the trial time has expired.  I enter the license again.  Sometimes I feel this happens when the defrag has not run.
I did on line chat with technical service and that was utterly useless.  The directed me through a process I've already done at least 38 times.
If the registry cleaner is the problem, I would have thought a product of this caliber would be more robust to that type of operation.

Hi HankSundermeyer,
There does not seem to be a need to defrag or even clean the registry in 7. What was once an important maintenance task in 2000 and XP is now not necessary, as the system does take care of itself, it's simply designed better. At the same time the cleaners and defraggers will suggest deleting lots of stuff from the registry.
Unless you are actually able to tell what those registry keys are and why would you want to delete them, I recommend staying away from any such cleaning action. The benefit of the cleaning is doubtful, while the potential for error is rather large.
At the same time thanks for bringing to our notice that the registry cleaner wipes out the licensing information for Acrobat.
Please let me know which 'Registry cleaner' software you are using as I would like to replicate the issue here at my end. Personally I have used ccleaner and have not faced any such issues.

  • I am unable to install apps as my iTunes states my computer is already authorised, then it tells me to authorise it? Does anybody out there know how to fix this. I am sorry if there is already a thread regarding this but there is 224,613 running atm.

    I have an iMac that has iTunes on it.
    My iPad is a first gen but its almost upto date, I haven't updated it for about a month.
    If anyone out there has some information I would appreciate it a lot.
    I am only doing this as iBooks isn't working
    Thanks in advance.

    Removing the SC Folder worked for me. But as an after thought and another potential problem although I do not think it is related, I had movies authorized thru my wifes Apple ID and she changed her ID a couple weeks ago. This, I think, could have had a contributing factor although not sure.
    You have to delete the SC Folder and then reboot and then go into iTunes, re-authorize if it asks, then I was able to sync the movies. Hope this helps a little.

  • HT201269 My computer crashed and I lost itunes, I have 2 ipods and an ipad, if I download itunes on my computer and sync the ipad/pod will it move the items over to the computer or wipe out the information on the devises?

  • 10.6 iCal week view and mini calendar are out of sync-how to fix?

    How does one re-establish "sync" between the large window week view and the small mini calendar month view displayed on the lower left side? Mine is out of sync by a month. Thanks!

    Are they off by always the same amount of time or they drift apart over time?
    If the former, you may try a quick adjustment, though it is a manual affair. Control-click on the clip in the browser, choose "Open in Timeline" and try moving the audio to match.
    If I remember correctly, DV tape audio could be recorded in 32KHz or 48KHz. The latter is the one that should be used, always.
    Maybe this one was recorded at 32KHz?

  • Try to update my iPhone 4 but after download it says error session timed out any ideas how to fix it

    When I try to update my iPhone I get error message session timed out can anyone help

    I had the same problem! I don't know what caused it, possibly slow Internet but I suppose my antivirus or other software could have affected it. Maybe it's an iTunes problem.
    After restarting the download at least 5 times in iTunes after it timed out, I found this website. I didn't know this before, but you can download the update in your browser and then apply it to your iPhone in iTunes once it finishes. I used Firefox 4 and it downloaded without timing out once. All you have to do is hold down Shift and then click on Update in iTunes and it will prompt you to select the update that you downloaded and it will apply it.
    Try this and let me know how it works!

  • TS1717 2 months ago, my iTunes dj (on my PC) lost its ability to "Shuffle"   (I cannot get shuffle on) as well as its shuffle function.  Anyone out ther know how to fix this?

    2 months ago my iTunes dj (0n my ASUS PC) lost its ability to shuffle.  It will not allow me to turn "shuffle" on, and "refresh" does not work either.

    Just connect the new iPod to your computer and setup the iPod via iTunes (instead of via wifi).

  • Aurora 30.0a2 toolbar and icons are stretched vertically and out-of-proportion, how to fix this?

    In the latest update changes Aurora 30.0a2, the UI shows the toolbar as stretched vertically. all the icons appear to be about (+/-) 1 to 1.5. This is no major issue and really just a minor visual nuisance but is a bug nonetheless.
    image: http://tinyurl.com/qzx8y6y
    Only the toolbar is affected, all other areas retain their 1 to 1 ratios.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • Im running out of space, how do I clear old content temp files

    Im running out of space, how do I clear old content temp files old apps?
    i have done the browser cache and cleared history.I am clearing items off the macbook pro but is there other areas i should clean
    Thanks

    Im running out of space, how do I clear old content temp files old apps?
    I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. Temp files get automatically deleted when you restart. Old apps you can either uninstall (if it was originally installed with an installer, there should be an uninstaller somewhere) or drag it to the trash. What's "old content"?
    i have done the browser cache and cleared history.
    This is not going to give you back much space.

  • How to fix applepushservice.dll issues for downloading iTunes on Windows 7 64 bit

    I recently had iTunes crash on my home PC, Windows 7 64-bit.  I have tried several attempts to uninstall and reinstall the program and it still does not work and I receive error messages.  The latest:  The program can't start because ApplePushService.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.  Problem is, the articles that I have seen state this is an Unknown source and my firewall will not allow it to be installed.  The original error was a Windows Error 7 (registry & .dll issues).  Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • FaceTime bright highlights are overexposed.  How to fix this on my iMac with Lion.?

    FaceTime bright highlights are blown out, overexposed.  How to fix this on my iMac with Lion? 

    If restarting doesn't fix, use the relevant suggestions from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight.  If nothing else there works, the repair by an Apple-Authorized Service Provider suggested there and by spudnuty will get it sorted.
    (Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

    Please!
    Thanks!

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

    I had my iphone 4 s stolen, how can i block the device or wipe out its content?

    If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it.  You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does.  If it does, you will get an email informing you.

    I am going to sell my iPhone 4S but before I do I need to wipe out important personal information that is stored in internal storage such as past emails. Can you tell me how to do this?

    You should delete everything. Any apps you've downloaded using your Apple ID can't be passed on to the next user as they are tied to your account. You should sign out of iMessage, FaceTime and Find My iPhone.
