Reinstall adobe 9 - anything I should know?

reinstall adobe 9 - anything I should know?

Which product you are trying to install Adobe Reader or Acrobat ?
Ideally it's a good practice to install with a new admin account so that you don't run into permissions issues. Once install, please update to latest version.
If you need more information, please let me know.

  • Buying 2nd hand ibook - anything i should know

    I'm buying a second hand g3 iBook 500MHz from a friend of mine, which was bought when the g4 iBooks first came out at the end of 2004.
    The Logic board has been replaced under warranty, but the hard drive is corrupt, meaning i'll have to change it [i've already researched it and am confident i can do it wihout a hitch].
    I have an old 95mm 30GB HDD from a windows laptop which i'll be putting in the iBook.
    Is there anything i should know? The HDD isn't formatted [i figure there's a boot utility when installing OSX that can format the drive]. Is it recommended that I do anything out of the ordinary, like installing OSX, then reformatting and reinstalling it again after the first boot [to condition the drive or anything].
    Any other tips and tricks?
    Thanks

    So, I bought it.
    Turns out it was an iBook 800, not a 500. It also had a 30GB drive instead of the 15GB the seller told me, as well as and extra 128MB RAM [total 256].
    When i first turned it on, it booted into OS X 10.3.9, and ran for a bit, sluggishly, until i tried to run the software updater. Then it died. I had the original 10.2.1 install disks, so i formatted and reinstalled, which worked.
    Everytime i ran the software updater, and instaleld the 10.2.8 combo [either through the updater itself, or by downloading it from the apple support site and running the dmg myself.
    Anyway, i ended up pulling the whole thing apart and replacing the HDD with one from an old laptop [another 30GB] with the help from the guide at macfixit.com. I went out and got Tiger, installed it fresh on the new HDD, and voila - works beautifully.
    So far no problems at all. I'm really, really liking it [my first mac] so far.
    Thanks for help everyone

  • 7 Things every Adobe AIR Developer should know about Security

    7 Things every Adobe AIR Developer should know about Security
    1. Your AIR files are really just zip files.
    Don't believe me? Change the .air extension to zip and unzip
    it with your favorite compression program.
    What does this mean for you the developer? What this means is
    that if you thought AIR was a compiled protected format, alas it is
    not.
    2. All your content is easily accessible in the AIR file.
    Since we now that the AIR file is really just a zip file,
    unzip it and see what's inside. If you have added any content
    references when you published the AIR file, voila, there it all is.
    What does this mean for you the developer? Well, you content
    is sitting there ripe for the picking, and so is everything else
    including you Application descriptor file, images etc.
    3. Code signing your Air app does nothing as far as security
    for you.
    All code signing your app does is verify to the end user that
    someone published the app. I does nothing as far as encryption and
    does nothing to project your content.
    What does this mean for you the developer? We'll you should
    still do it, because getting publisher "unknown" is worse. It also
    means that joe hacker would not be able decompile your entire app
    and republish it with the same certificate, unless they
    somehow got a hold of that too.
    4. All your AIR SWF content is easily decompilable.
    Nothing new here, it's always been this way. Type flash
    decompiler into google and you'll find a variety of decompilers for
    under $100 that will take your AIR content swf and expose all your
    source code and content in no time.
    What does this mean for you the developer? All you content,
    code, urls and intellectual property is publicly available to
    anyone with a decompiler, unless you do some extra work and encrypt
    your swf content files, which is not currently a feature of AIR,
    but can be done if you do your homework.
    5. Your SQLite databases are easy to get at.
    SQLite datatbases can be accessed from AIR or any other
    program on you computer that knows how to work with it. Unless you
    put your database in the local encrypted datastore, or encrypt your
    entire database it's pretty easy to get at, especially if you
    create it with a .db extension.
    What does this mean for you the developer? We'll SQLite is
    very useful, but just keep in mind that your data can be viewed and
    altered if you're not careful.
    6. The local encrypted datastore is useful, but....
    The local encrypted datastore is useful, but developers need
    a secure way of getting information into it. Storing usernames,
    passwords and urls in clear text is a bad idea, since as we
    discussed, you code is easy to decompile an read. By putting info
    into the local encrypted datastore, the data is encrypted and very
    difficult to get at. The problem is, how do you get it into there,
    without have to store any info that can be read in the air file and
    without the necessity of communicating with a web server? Even if
    you called a web service and pushed the returned values into the
    datastore, this is not ideal, since you may have encoded the urls
    to you web service into your code, or they intercept the results
    from the web service call.
    What does this mean for you the developer? Use the local
    datastore, and hope that we get some new ways of protecting content
    and data form Adobe in the next release of AIR.
    7. There are some things missing form the current version of
    AIR (1.1) that could really help ease the concerns of people trying
    to develop serious applications with AIR.
    Developers want more alternatives for the protection of local
    content and data. Some of us might want to protect our content and
    intellectual property, remember not all of us are building toys
    with AIR. Other than the local encrypted datastore there are not
    currently any built in options I'm aware of for encrypting other
    content in the AIR file, unless you roll your own.
    What does this mean for you the developer? We'll I've been
    told that Adobe takes security very seriously, so I'm optimistic
    that we'll see some improvements in this area soon. If security is
    a concern for you as much as it is for me, let them know.

    Putting "secret data" as a clear text directly in your code
    is a broken concept in every environment, programing language.
    Every compiled code is reversible, especially strings are really
    easy to extract.
    There is no simple, straightforward way to include secret
    data directly with your app. This is a complicated subject, and if
    you really need to do this, you'll need to read up on it a bit.
    But in most cases this can be avoided or worked around
    without compromising security. One of the best ways is to provide
    the user with a simple "secret key" alongside the app (best way is
    the good old login/password). The user installs the app, and
    provides his "secret key", that goes directly into
    EncryptedLocalStore, and then you use this "secret key" to access
    the "secret data" that's stored on your server. Then you can
    transfer the "secret data" directly into EncryptedLocalStore.
    As for the whole thread:
    Points 1-5 -> Those points do not concern AIR apps only.
    If you are developing an application in any language, you should
    follow those rules, meaning:
    - Code installed on users computer is easy accessible
    - Data stored locally is easy accessible, even if it
    encrypted using any symmetric-key encryption, because the
    encrypting algorithm and encryption key is in your source code (you
    could probably write a book on using public-key encryption so let's
    just leave it for now ;)
    Point 6 -> Is a valid one. All your app security should
    relay on the EncryptedLocalStore. But it is your job to get the
    data securely into the ELS, because there is no point to encrypt
    data that can be intercepted.

  • I updated my ipad1 thru iTunes from 4.2.1 to 4.3.5 and now having issues, especially playing videos. Anything I should know. I have not jail broken my iPad and don't want to.

    I updated my ipad1 thru iTunes from 4.2.1 to 4.3.5 and now having issues, especially playing videos. Anything I should know. I have not jail broken my iPad and don't want to.

    you update it by connecting it to a computer running itunes and starting itunes up on the computer clicking on it in devices and clicking on the update button in the content menu
    if it say you have the latests then it's because you don't own an iphone 3gs but an iphone 3g where the version 4.2.1 was the last released
    in that case you can't ever update it

  • Black Magic Intensity Pro....anything I should know about?

    I will be getting the Intensity Pro within a couple days and I was wondering if anyone in here have used it or is using it. Is there anything that I should know about that I may have overlooked? 

    I just noticed that the screen does not sit securely
    when it's closed. There seems to be a 'bow' in the
    whole panel.
    Have you heard about this before?
    This is actually a common issue on powerbooks and macbook pros. Apple suggests not not worry about the "cosmetic defect", as it doesn't affect the performance and it was design that way to prevent the screen froum touching the keyboard.. I still can't somehow fall for that excuse...

  • Thinking about getting a MacBook, using Boot Camp, anything I should know?

    I'm going into 8th Grade and my parents are thinking about getting a MacBook for me. Now, because my school uses PCs with Windows, I will need to use Boot Camp so I can save things from Microsoft Office on a flash drive and take it back and forth from home to school. Before I do this I need to know if there is anything I should be aware of because I've seen some weird things on sites about Boot Camp like something called Fat32. I also need to know what version of Windows should I use. XP or Vista? I've heard bad things about Vista like how there are back ways in for Hackers, but it's really eye-catching with it's futuristic look. So should I just wait for Windows 7 to come out and replace Vista in the summer or fall of 2010? (Yes, for people who may not know, Microsoft is developing a successor to Vista known as Windows 7. I read about it in my dad's latest issue of Consumer Reports.)

    When you get the computer you can run the Boot Camp Assistant program (Utilities folder) and print out the documentation (it's fairly long.) Read it carefully before proceeding. It should explain what you need to know about installing and using Windows on a Mac.
    You can install any 32-bit version of Vista or XP with Service Pak 2.
    Windows uses two disk formats - FAT32 or NTFS. Vista requires NTFS but XP can use either. OS X can read/write FAT32 formatted drives but NTFS is read-only to OS X. That means that unless the drive is formatted FAT32 you will not be able to transfer files between the Windows volume and the OS X volume. Neither Vista nor XP are any less secure. Both are vulnerable to viruses and malware unless you run anti-virus/malware software to protect the computer.
    There are different ways to run Windows on a Mac. Boot Camp is only one:
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not yet fully developed for the Mac - some features are not yet implemented - but it does work otherwise.
    6. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
    See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion.

  • Anything I should know about the 990FXA-GD80V2 before purchase?

    I'm considering getting a new motherboard in the next few days or so, and currently have my eye on the 990FXA-GD80V2. I plan to pair it with the FX-8350 and a R7850, and likely use Linux.
    I was wondering if there was anything in-particular I should know before buying this board. For example, I recall reading somewhere that someone had to do a BIOS update to get their FX-8350 to use the right voltage or something.
    I'm doing a good bit of research myself, but I'd like to avoid another experience like the one I had with ASRock.

    Quote from: miklkit on 28-August-14, 22:46:41
    I read your post about Asrock.  Not good, but no 970 board is up for the 8350.  Only experts with mega cash to spend on exotic cooling can keep that combination alive.
      The MSI GD80 is a solid cool running board that can handle any FX cpu.  My 8350 will bench and run at over 5ghz with air cooling but is stable at 4.7 ghz for everyday use.  The 9590 is good for 5ghz for every day use.   Because the GD80 runs so cool air cooling can be used making this a very cost effective combination.  I am currently using an ASUS Sabertooth board and it runs hot.  Water cooling is required to overclock it and I will be going back to the GD80 soon.
      MSI is very conservative with their bios settings, which means that you can only run stock clocks unless the utilities provided on their cd are used.  But last December they castrated those utilities too!  I prefer to use ClickBiosII, and here is a link to a working version.
    https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gpalg0tpyyfcivy/AAA_vvHgq7MUkdcXPH3Nh5rWa/CLICKBIOSII.7z?dl=0
    Thanks for the feedback. I'm curious though, what exactly about the ASUS Sabertooth board makes it run hotter than the GD80? Would figure the CPU temps to be relatively the same, but maybe you're talking about another component like the VRMs or NB?
    Also, what's that ClickBiosII thing? Is it a custom BIOS? From quick-glance at the archive, perhaps it's a BIOS-configuration tool that can be used from Windows to directly-alter the BIOS?
    I put in the order for the GD80V2 a little bit ago; seems it'll be a manufacturer-refurbished board. Does anyone happen to have any first-hand experience as to how warranty is handled with such hardware? From my understanding, it seems used hardware carries whatever warranty existed since the hardware's purchase date, but refurbished hardware carriers only a 90-day warranty. Is the 90-day limit true, and if so, is it a "hard" limit (as in, you get absolutely 0 support after 90 days), or perhaps handled on case-by-case (MSI "might" be kind enough to do the RMA after 90 days depending on issue)?

  • Installing a new soundcard tonight -- Anything I should know? [Solved]

    Hi,
    I'm replacing my current sucky on-board audio (AC97 on an Asus A8N) to a Auzentech X-plosion
    link - (http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php? … =AuzenTech)
    I have googled it and I'm pretty sure it works with Kernel 2.6.27. Houray ! Also, there is a linux driver on the manufacturer's website.
    What I want to know is :
    1) Is there anything I must do/not do when I change my hardware under Linux ? Xorg ? Modules ? Kernel ? ALSA ?
    2) Must I change anything in my rc.conf ?
    Here is the list of my rc.conf modules right now :
    MODULES=(evdev forcedeth slhc ac97_bus snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-seq-oss
    snd-seq-device snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc

    snd-ac97-codec snd-intel8x0 soundcore snd-usb-audio snd-usb-lib !pcspkr nvidia fuse loop)
    Thanks. I'll disable the onboard in the BIOS. I just want to make sure that my PC will still work, and work well, next time I boot !

    I had to install alsa-firmware for the AUR, and then do alsaconfig, and it worked ! Without the alsa-firmware package it didn't though.
    It got spooky though. I tried everything I knew, and lsusb still doesn't correctly name the device. Oh well. It was easier to setup than on my Windows XP partition where the computer just rebooted spontaneously.
    I should have lowered the sound before. That was wise indeed, LTSmash.
    Is there a way I can mark this thread as solved ?

  • Anything I should know about using m-audio FW with 24 inch imac 2.16?

    I just bought a used 24 inch 2.16 core2duo imac, my mac mini has a dead firewire port which I need for an audio interface. So this is a replacement/upgrade for it. I'll be using it with an m-audio profire lightbridge, and for 3d graphics.
    Are there any problems and/or quirks about this machine I should be aware of? Specifically with firewire audio interfaces, but anything else I should be looking for?
    Also, is it possible to upgrade the graphics card in these?

    I also have the MSI NEO4 sli f. I have been trying to figure out how to get all four DIMM's loaded.Are you saying that by changing to 2t in bios that I can populate all 4 DIMM's at DDR400? If not what would you reccommend as the best configuration for ram with this board?
    It's depend what CPU you've actually unless you need to PLUG and PRAY for it in order to make it run at DDR400 at 1T but that's normally work with 2T.
    Quote from: Kitt on 01-October-06, 12:49:36
    Thanks again... I downloaded all relevant drivers/files from the MSI site, unarchieved them to their own folders and burnt to DVD.
    If I read the manual correctly I am to put each stick of the same kind (ie: Kingston) in the GREEN slots first.  However, I posted the same "Before..." question to a usenet group "a.c.p.m.msi-microstar" and was advised to put the RAM in one GREEN slot and one PURPLE slot, side-by-side.  Which is correct?  Both GREEN first, or 1 in GREEN and 1 in PURPLE.
    Thanks for the info on the memory timing command of 1T and 2T... The Processor is an AMD-64 3800+ Venice revision E, socket 939.  As I understand it, installing 4 double sided DIMMs will only yield 333MHz, however it would be great if the 1T could work to achieve 400MHz.
    --Brian
    Maybe that you've different combinations of the RAM timing and the volt as you've different brand and memory capacity. Tried to get the same model of ram and timing and maybe it could help you to get DDR400 if you're LUCKY enough others mantained it to DDR333 speed. GD luck.

  • About to Erase and Re-Install Snow Leopard. Anything I should know?

    I'm about to erase and re-install Snow Leopard on my 2009 21.5' iMac. Something got snarled up during the migration process from my old 2006 iMac to this new one and things have been steadily getting more and more "weird" over time, so it's time for a clean slate.
    I have a few specific questions and would be grateful for any other tips you may have regarding this operation as I've done it on Windoze computers many times but never done it on a Mac for obvious reasons
    My specific questions are as follows:
    1. If I archive my various Mail inboxes, can I just put them back after the re-install and have all my messages back again?
    2. Does anyone know how to save Firefox Bookmarks, as it doesn't have an export option like Safari.
    3. Any other things I should be aware of.
    Your help and suggestions will be much appreciated

    After what you want to do, you'll still get the same permissions repair report. Ignore it as detailed in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448 (which doesn't include the recent JavaVM warnings).
    Your bootstraps solution doesn't hold water. OK. Since the issue is specific to your original user account, you can proceed in two ways. One is to log into your test account, make a list of the preference files (plists) located in /username/Library/Preferences/, including any in the ByHost subfolder, log back into the original account, move everything on that other account's list from the original account's Preferences folder into a newly created folder on the Desktop, log out and back in, and see if the problem goes away. If so, you can copy the ones in the Desktop folder (one at time) back into /Preferences/, restart, and see if the problem returns. If so, you've identified the corrupt/conflicting one. Continue with all of them until isolating the bad ones. That'll save you the trouble of resetting preferences.
    The second way is much more detailed and I'll not burden you with the steps unless the above doesn't fix the issue.

  • Switching from a PC to Mac - anything I should know?

    I'm from Canada, planning on purchasing the absolutely shiny BlackBook, with 2gb RAM and 200gb harddrive online.
    I have never used a Mac before, and was just browsing through the forum. The Mac seems to have far less problems than a PC.
    I'm looking for experiences, things-to-knows regarding the MacBook in general. Especially from Windows users that have now switched. What's the transition like? Is it intuitive?
    Are there any specific MacBook related problems that seem to reoccur?

    go with a mac...I was kind of wary of getting one myself, I used to give my husband a hard time for wanting one but now that I have my macbook I use it way more than my pc because I have less problems with it, it takes a lot less time to boot up versus my pc as well, also on mac NO VIRUSES!!

    You posted in the OS 9 & below forum. What OS X version are you using? What model Canon printer? Canon printers have a test print capability (open the Printer Utility). What happens when you do a test print? Are all the printer cartridges in their proper location? Sometimes when you print "black", the printer uses a mixture of the colors to get "black". In the Printer Utility, check the levels of the other cartridges. There may be one color that is clogged.

  • I am having to reinstall Adobe Pro because of a hard drive failure. I have lost the License Key and need to know how to retrieve it so I can reinstall the product.

    How do I retrieve the Adobe Pro License key/# so I can reinstall on my computer. I had to have the hard drive replaced due to failure and don't have the necessary information to reinstall Adobe Pro.

    As this was a 1,000 USD + purchase I did registered back in 2008 when I got my copy of "Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium". And now I'm in the same situation as you. I did go to manage my account and found my serial number.
    My disk crashed completely and I got everything back and running from my Time Machine backup. A few days ago Illustrator said there was a licensing issue. I tried all their gradual solutions up to the very last one: Reinstalling.
    I did that and inserted the Serial number; it worked. Now that I'm opening the Adobe Acrobat Pro it requires me to input the serial and it says is invalid!
    Anyone has an idea about this?
