Typewriter Toolbar Not Functioning

Since installing the latest update of Acrobat 9 (9.4.3 on Mac OS 10.6.7) the typwriter toolbar is inactive. I can create typewriter boxes and fill them with text, but all of the format options on the toolbar are greyed out. It wouldn't be so bad, except that it remembers the settings from the last time I was able to adjust things and it is stuck on 6-pt type.
It seems that every update to Acrobat lately has a noticible bug in it.

I have a copy of Acrobat 9 (9.4.3) also under Mac OS X 10.6.7 and the Typewriter Toolbar is working just fine.
I would look for Acrobat preferences and trash them, or uninstall and reinstall Acrobat.

CS6.0 & CS5.5 Master Collection InDesign Font Control bar & Characters Panel not Functioning

Hi, I am a college student and our college a year ago sent me CS5.5 Master Collection InDesign at that time the font control bar was not functioning correctly on my PC. Our class was about Adobe Illustrator so our instructor rather than deal with it had us just cut and paste things into MS Word.
Now a year and half later I am taking a college course in Adobe Photoshop . . CS6.0 Master Collection InDesign once again the collection is the Student and Teacher Licensing for Windows. The same thing is happening now we are REQUIRED to this semester to create a Calendar using our own photos and create a INDESIGN layout using our photos we took for our course. In this version of CS6.0 InDesign I figured they would of fixed it by now, but the "Control Panel is still not working, nor is the Character Panel that you pull up to the side of InDesign. I am able to use the pull down menus and do things from there, but the point of taking this course was to learn the software, how can we students use the software if it is not functioning properly.
NOTE I AM EXPERIENCEING THE SAME THING WITH ALL SIDE PANELS NOW TOO.
Oh yes it changes the font name when you use the pull down window from the top menu, but it is not allowing us to use the CONTROL BAR just under the MENU BAR, nor the side panel I pulled up and am showing there. In ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR I can use the character panel just fine, but not in InDesign.
In Illustrator when I go to launch it I get this error, I have done as it asked but it still is bring this up at launch. I can go in and use Illustrator just fine, except for this error.
Someone thought I may of installed it incorrectly, so I removed all ADOBE software from my computer ran maintenance and virus scans and reinstalled the software, a whole day wasted, but it still is doing the same thing.
a) Thinking that this is a limitation placed on the software by Adobe because it is a Student Teacher Edition?
b) There's a problem with having OpenType and TrueType fonts on hand?
c) Adobe has a software problem that they have yet to resolve?
d) There is something somewhere within the software I need to flip a switch on?
Our instructor I gather who owns his own business his works just fine on his PC, but then because it is his business software it makes me think it has to do with the Student Teacher Edition.
I have more than enough RAM and hard drive space the Processor is a AMD A8-3800 APU with Radeon(tm) HD. Graphics is 2.40 GHz. It is a 64-bit Operating System. Oh I am using a Windows OS 7.0 Professional .
This is the only piece of software that I have come accross that will not function correctly on my computer system since it's purchase Jan of 2012.

There is no difference between the commercial and educattional versions of the products other than the license terms. The software itself is the same.
Since you are on windows 7, the first question is are you using large fonts in the Windows interface? Large fonts combined with an Aero theme are deadly to ID. See InDesign tools and panels don't respond to mouse clicks (Windows 7/Vista)
If this doesn't apply, the next thing to try is replacing your preferences. See Replace Your Preferences
Do you use a font manager? If so, which one?
Does the account you are using have adminsitrator privileges? Shouldn't matter, but it would be worth trying a new account that does.
It's still possible that the installation failed in some way. That Illustrator error certainly makes it look like a strong possibility, and there may have been some left-over crud from the first failed install that was not replaced the second time. If the things above don't clear up the problems, I would suggest Deactivating the suite from an applicatin that will open, and uninstalling again, then run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) which will remove all traces of the previous installations. Reboot, then before reinstalling run MSConfig and turn off all non-essential startup programs and services, especially any virus or maware scanners, third-party firewall, instant messengers, iTunes and all browser helpers and toolbars, then close MSconfig and reboot. Log in as an Administrator (the actual Adminsitrator account would be best, but it may not be turned on). When the warning comes up about diagnostic mode continue to boot (cancel MSConfig if it opens), then run the installer again. You can now run MSconfig to restore normal startup and reboot once more.

Why does my google toolbar not work properly with the new updates. It was such a convenience to use the old toolbar to go to places I had visited before. Now I cannot get those old addresses with anything but Firefox 3.62 or whatever.

Why does Google Toolbar not work with the newer versions of Firefox.

Google have stopped supporting Google Toolbar on the latest versions of Firefox. Apparently one of the reasons for this decision is that modern browsers already tend to support many of the functions that google toolbar provides.
Firefox does allow you to specifically bookmark sites you have chosen, and also automatically remembers many of the sites you visit.

Here's what I have done in the past. Maybe not elegant, but
it works. (I
use PHP, but I'm sure you can modify for ASP.)
In the HEAD of each web page, include regular old embedded
STYLE tags,
but INCLUDE an external PHP file:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
<?php include('styles/testcss.php'); ?>
</style>
</head>
Now in that included PHP file, just have CSS code which pulls
in your
dynamic data. Here's an example snippet:
body {
color: #600;
background-color: <?php echo
$row_recordset['bgcolor'];?>
Of course, you'll need the code for the recordset somewhere
too.

I installed newer Firefox, now parts of Norton and Words do not function. How can I fix this? Go back to previous Firefox? Thanks.

I installed the latest version of Firefox when I was prompted. It was not until after the process was complete was I informed that certain aspects of my Norton and Words programs would not function, and that currently there is no fix available. How can you resolve this? Can I go back to the previous version?
Thanks

Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about other Norton products, but if you run Norton LiveUpdate it should inform you if there are updates available. If no updates are available, you can downgrade to Firefox 3.6 if you want to use the Norton add-ons.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Reader X IE/Firefox Toolbar Not Working

I have a Windows 7 Home Premium X64 PC with IE 8 and Firefox.
I recently installed Reader X. If I left-click on a pdf document, Reader X loads the pdf, properly displays it, and the Reader X toolbar buttons work as expected.
If I open a PDF from an Internet site (either IE or Firefox), the document displays properly, as does the Reader X toolbar. I can scroll the document with the arrow keys. I can right-click on the Reader X toolbar and change the toolbar contents. But the Reader X toolbar icons are dimmed and will not function in either IE or Firefox.
I’ve uninstalled Reader X and reinstalled Reader 9.x. The Reader 9.x toolbar works in both IE and Firefox. Reinstalling Reader X causes the IE and Firefox pdf toolbars tools to once again not work.
Any suggestions on how to get the Reader X toolbar in IE and Firefox to work? Thanks.

Photosmart c309a- 'The wireless radio is not functioning, contact HP support'

My Photosmart c309a wont connect wirelessly. Upon running the wireless network test, the report states, and I quote "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support". The report then states the following:
Wireless on PASS
Wireless working FAIL
and everything following that stated as 'not run'.
Ive searched for other threads on the subject, and the only sloutions I can find are unplug the printer and plug it back in to reset it (made no difference), and try the HP print and san doctor (link was dead, found it manually and didnt work as it cant connect to or even see the printer on the network).
So the question is, is this a hardware fault, and if so what can be done about it?

Hello,
Yes, it is an hardware issue and indicates that the Wireless card is not functional.
Please call HP Tech Support for further assistance.
If you are in US , the toll free # is 1-800-474-6836 .
If you are not in US , then log on to www.hp.com , at bottom-left corner there is a world map icon, click on it and then select the region you belong to, which would then provide support options for you for that region.

Bridge not functioning in PhotoShop CS3 Extended

I deactivated Photoshop CS3 on a computer I was no longer using and installed it (CS3) another computer. I activiated CS3 on the new computer. However, when trying to use Bridge, I get a message that says that Adobe no longer supports Bridge Home and Bridge does not function on the new computer. Is there anything I can do to get Bridge to function as part of CS3 Extended?

Thanks, that worked.

Satellite P300D-110 integrated webcam is not functioning properly.

Hello everyone,
as the title says, the integrated webcam of my Toshiba Satellite P300D-110 is not functioning properly. Allow me to explain. Using the Camera Assistance Software I can take photo's and record music. If I try to record a video the preview screen turns up black and the end result tuns out black aswell, completely black.
Whenever I try to use my camera with applications such as MSN Live Messenger, Skype or at community websites using Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari the application in question crashes.
*How did this happen?*
You tell me. This is how it went;
* Day 1: I've started up my laptop and looked at my fresh and clean install of windows vista home premium. I tried out my webcam using the webcam assistance software and it worked like a charm.
* Day 2: Once again I boot up my laptop and try to start my webcam only to find out that it no longer functions.
To give a quick summary of the thread;
* Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can take pictures.
* Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can record sound.
* Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can _*NOT*_ record or preview a video.
* I can not start my camera using any other application such as but not limited to; MSN Live Messenger, Skype, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safar.
* I have downloaded and isntalled the latest drivers from the Toshiba website.
* My laptop is about a week old.
I'm not sure what more I can do, all I want is for the webcam to work, if anyone can help me out please do so.
And if possible WITHOUT having to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium.
I haven't even used it and wouldn't want to make that a solution for all the problems that might occur in the future.
Sincerely,
a sad customer.

Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can NOT record or preview a video.
Can you please describe the steps how you try to do this? I must ask you this because it runs well on my notebook. When the recording is finished player opens and you can see recorded movie. It is avi format and at the top of this player you can see the path where the movie is saved.
Most strange thing for me is that you cannot use it with Skype. Ok for MSN is not the perfect but there is absolutely no problem with Skype. Check the settings and it must work somehow.

Keyboard+trackpad not functioning at all on HP 2000 Notebook PC! please help!

Tonight I turned on my laptop (HP 2000 Notebook PC) to find that the Keyboard and track pad was not responding, the only thing that worked was the wireless mouse.
I can not find the product number but the name is HP 2000 Notebook PC, the operating system is Windows 8, I can't login to see if there are any error messages, the last thing I remember doing was trying to apply a new cursor image and it told me to restart and when I did I couldnt log back in or type anything at all, I could only use the mouse.
Also the things I have tried to do are: Restart Computer, Take out batter and restart. (I cant do much because I can't type in password)
All help will be greatly appreciated!
UPDATE: I logged in using the On-Screen Keyboard, it seems like a hardware malfunction and not a virus because i cant find anything in my downloaded stuff that wasnt there before. So it is just a hardware malfunction.
UPDATE #2: it says that the driver (for keyboard and touchpad) may be corrupt or missing and it says Code 39 in parenthesis.

Hello Oceanlife,
You state that the keyboard and touchpad are not functioning, that is correct? I will try to assist you with this issue.
As of today are you still having this problem?
If you have, any more questions do not hesitate to ask. .
Thanks

Fairly certain that FileStream.writeObject() and FileStream.readObject() do not function - at all -.

I've struggled with this since Jan 9th, 2013 (if not longer) and the only conclusion I can come to is that this simply does not function. No matter what I try and no matter what resource (and I'm finding precious few) I follow to try to implement this within Flash Builder 4.7, Flex SDK 4.6.0 (Build 23201), AIR SDK 3.5, I only succeed in creating a file (with the correct name) that is 123 bytes in size that reads back in as NULL;
I've tried using ByteArray.writeObject()/readObject() as an intermediary with FileStream.writeBytes()/readBytes(), with no luck.
I've tried instantiating an object, setting properties and then using that. I've tried instantiating my correctly formed ValueObject (including the remoteClass alias metadata tag).
I've tried using -verbatim- the example provided in the top most suggested 'Community Help' resource http://www.switchonthecode.com/tutorials/adobe-air-and-flex-saving-serialized-objects-to-f ile It is worth noting that this solitary example of the procedure/SDK-usage is dated to Flex SDK 3.0 and at least 04/04/2009 (first comment on the article).
My frustrating hell (one version of many methods attempted) is detailed on StackOverflow (including -all- mxml, as, and trace output), but so far, no assistance has been forthcoming, alas. This is a severely stripped down and simplified version of what had been a far more complex attempt:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14366911/flex-air-actionscript-mobile-file-writeobject- readobject-always-generates-null-w
An earlier post* detailing a far more complex attempt interation, with, alas, just as little help (guess this isn't a hot button topic) forthcoming:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14259393/flex-actionscript3-filestream-writeobject-fail s-silently-in-ios-what-am-i-doin
* I previously suspected that it was only failing from within iOS on an iPad, but the first example (the stripped down version) made it evident that it didn't work in the AIR mobile device simulator (iPad) in the Windows environment, and indeed, didn't work in a non-mobile project in the windows environment AIR launcher.
I'm at a loss, upset, frustrated, in major trouble with my supervisor/deadlines, etc.
I would very much appreciate any suggestions/help/confirmation/etc.
Just to move ahead with development I've opted for a far less preferable solution of writing out both an XML file and a JPG file. I very much do not like this and very much want to store encapsulated serialized objects locally in the same way I assume will work for storing remotely with AMFPHP (if the project ever gets to that point *sigh*).
Again. Would be so grateful for any help.

I want to add to this post as I marked it as "The Answer" though it does not indeed contain the answer directly, for those who come looking for simliar solutions.
harUI prompted me to realize that my metadata term needed to be capitalized (RemoteClass instead of remoteClass). As the metadata tags may be user defined, the compiler throws no errors (or warnings *grumble*)
package vo
    import flash.display.BitmapData;
   // [remoteClass(alias="PTotmImageVO")] incorrect
   [RemoteClass(alias="PTotmImageVO")]
    public class PTotmImageVO

Multi-touch display is not functioning as normal

multi-touch display is not functioning as normal on the right half of the screen....

Hi James,
Thx for the quick reply...
I have already tried most of these troubleshooting steps but no go....
Also, when you tap or use only the right half of the screen, the touch display is inconsistent and makes a wierd sound [ like a hollow tub or something ] and it's not a cosmetic issue...
----Apple store / Authorized Service Center is still working on this ongoing issue with no results and still not confirming for the iphone replacement...Thnx..
