Sudden increase in Acrobat X quits working altogether

In the past 2 weeks I have had 5 PCs with Acrobat X installed just quit working.By quit working I mean the user calls and says Acrobat wont do anything.  Click the desktop icon, Acrobat wont launch.  Try to pritn to PDF, nothing happens.  Uninstall / reinstall seems to resolve the issue.  But its really wierd that so many would misbehave at the same time in the same manner.  Anyone else having issues?

I've had the same issue twice on both of my computers. Uninstall/reinstall takes care of it. I have a feeling it has something to do with Adobe updates.

    Thanks for your help.  I finally just called Adobe and they fixed it
    quickly by doing stuff that was clearly over this old man's head.

  • Ipod has quit working altogether

    Hello, I have had my 20 GB Apple Ipod Photo for about 2 years now, and finally today it has stopped working altogether. I have tried to remedy the solution by using the tips on Apple's site, but nothing appears to be working. The screen just sits there in that smug black screen as if it was off. My computer won't even recognize that I have the ipod connected anymore when I turn on itunes or when I try to do a factory restore through the ipod updater, while it is connected to my USB port. Are there any other ideas out there that may help besides you know, throwing it out of the car while driving down the highway? Thanks a lot!

    I'll try that out anyway and see if I can bring it back to life. If not it's either buy a new one, or get a replacement battery I'm thinking. It's weird because I just charged it two days ago on my computer and then I left it sitting and came back to find it had bit the dust.

  • Acrobat XI Quit Working

    My desktop running Windows 7 purchased from individual 6 months ago loaded with numerous Adobe applications.  No disks with computer.  Never a problem with opening PDF documents until about 2 weeks ago unable to open any PDFs and getting error popup for Acrobat XI saying "configure error No. 16.  Remove & reinstall application".  Can't seem to do that so guess I need a disc?  Assume what I had was a trial version.  Does that sound like a correct assessment?

    Most folks report a notice of trial time running out, not the type error you are getting. There is a question of whether the Acrobat license is now your's and I am not one to really answer such a question. This is kind of a transfer I would guess. Since you are not the one who probably registered it, Adobe will probably not talk to you about it. You might be stuck unless you can get the SN. The install file should be the same as the trial version. Even if you get to work, you need to pursue info on the SN and such to be sure you have a legit copy.
    As for your problem, try going to Start>Control Panel>Programs & Features. Then do a repair of Acrobat. After the repair, then do repairs (that assumes the repair is successful.

  • My stumble upon has quit working. Keeps saying It will not work with the browser version I have witch is Mozilla 12.0

    All of the sudden my stumble upon has quit working and I'm not sure why. When I try to stumble it says my browser version needs to be updated yet I have done nothing to change anything to make this problem happen. What do I need to do and how do I fix this?

  • Stylus quit working?!

    I have an ipad 2 with a screenprotector and a dagi stylus.  Everything was working beautifully.  Suddenly my dagi stylus just quit working...Right after last update.  Anyone know a salution to this?

    Read some of the amazon reviews regarding the Dagi. If I'm right about the problem, you aren't the only one experiencing it.
    I don't have the Dagi, but I have the more recent competitor, the Adonit Jot Pro, and I'm already getting intermittent response issues after using it for 3 weeks. I have replacement discs on the way, but if those wear out just as quickly, I'm probably gonna call it quits on the precision stylus market and stick with my PenGo.
    One interesting thing I read on ThinkGeek, which also sells the adonit JotPro, was from a reviewer who used ThinkGeek's wire glue to make his JotPro more responsive. The wire glue is just a conductive paste material (an alternative to solder), and the reviewer dabbed a small amount between the JotPro tip and the disc. Haven't tried this myself, but I plan to. It seems reasonable that malleable conductive material would be less prone to abrasions, but I need to look into whether I can do it without welding the stylus tip to the disc (i like the pivoting function).

  • Apple wireless keyboard.  Caps Lock light quit working.

    I know it's a small thing but all of a sudden the Caps Lock light quit working.  A real pain for entering passwordssince you can't see if their in caps or not.  Can this be fixed?

    What does resetting the PRAM mean? How is that done?
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11243>
    It works best with a USB keyboard.  With a wireless keyboard, try pressing the keys just after the startup BOING.
    You will need to reset the "Startup Disk" system preference after a PRAM reset.

  • My iPod touch 5 suddenly quit working and it won't charge.

    My 5th Generation iPod touch suddenly quit working. I try to charge it and nothing happens.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1766 My iPad speaker suddenly quit working, ear phones are ok, anything in setup for a fix

    My speaker suddenly quit working, ear phones are ok, is there a setting for this

    Plug/unplug the headphones from the iPad a few times. Also try rotating the plug in the socket a few times. The headphone jack has an internal switch which turns the speaker off when the headphones are plugged in. The contacts may have gotten dirty within the socket. Working the plug within the socket can sometimes get things working again.

  • HP Deskjet F4140 Suddenly Quit Working

    Hello, I have an HP Deskjet F4140 connected to my iMac that suddenly quit working. The iMac doesn't even detect a a printer connected. I have updated my BIOs, uninstalled and reinstalled the printer drivers, etc. It worked fine last week. The only update I have made since then was an automatic update of the EEI Firmware. Any help?

    The Apple updates messed with my HP C4280. I had to uninstall-delete then hunt down all HP files (preferences etc) using Spotlight and delete. Then restart and download and install the drivers again. After all of this it worked properly. Good luck.

    Hello Macintexas,
    It sounds like Messages is only intermittently working on your iPad mini.  I found an article with steps to troubleshoot issues with sending and receiving messages. 
    I recommend reviewing the sections titled "If you can't send or receive messages" and "If you still can't send or receive iMessages" in the article listed below.  Step 2 specifically is applicable for the symptoms you are experiencing with Messages:
    2. To send and receive iMessages, your device must have a valid cellular or Wi-Fi data connection.
