Why did my Acrobat application suddenly disappear from my computer?

All of a sudden my Acrobat application disappeared from my computer. Any inkling as to why this might happen? Now I can't download any PDFs.

You say that you have the activation code. Are you sure? Did you register Lightroom with Adobe? If you did you can always retrieve the code from your account. What do you mean when you say that you "plug it in" and it won't let you continue? What operating system are you using?

My iPhoto library has suddenly disappeared from my computer. When i click on iPhoto it tells me to choose my library or create a new one. However no library option appears. I have searched the computer for the library but it does not seem to exist

My iPhoto library has suddenly disappeared from my computer.
When i click on iPhoto it tells me to choose my library or create a new one. However no library option appears. I have searched the computer for the library but it does not seem to exist anymore. I did not have time machine set up, so there is no back up. Is there any way i can retrieve my library?
Here is a picture of what appears when i click on iPhoto:

In terms of searching i have searched for photos on my finder. However, none of the photos that appear are from my iPhoto Library.
Search with FindAnyFile. You can download it here: http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/index.php
Search for any file with "ThumbJPGSegment" in the name. If you added at least one image to your library, the library should contain a file with this name, see OldToad's post: Re: Since I updated to iPhoto 9.5.1, my library is not listed or available. How can I find it? Can I use the time machine to restore it?

Why would my Acrobat tab keep disappearing from my Office programs?

Every so often, my Acrobat tab keeps disappearing from my Office programs. It seems totally random, but happens when I am actually using the tool to convert a word doc or excel spreadsheet to PDF. I am using Office 2007 Professional and Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.
I have no problems getting the Acrobat tab back by doing the following:
1. Close the affected Office program (ie Word, Excel etc)
2. Reopen the affected Office program as Administrator.
3. Go into Options >Add-Ins> COM addins and delete the existing Acrobat PDFMaker COM Addin.
4. Click OKs and close the program.
5. Reopen as Administrator and go back to Options >Add-Ins> COM addins and Add Acrobat PDFMaker COM Addin.
(The add in for me is stored at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\PDFMaker\Office and select the PDFMOfficeAddin.dll file. )
Once I add it back this way, it stays for sometimes up to 2 months, but then disappears again. I've had this happen in Word and Excel.
So getting it back is not an issue, but knowing what it happens in the first place and stopping that occurrence would be even better.
Any help with be awesome.
Thank you

Yeah.. I just noticed I was missing stuff last week, and then realized that my Apple TV was not showing up in my iTunes device list. I'm just hoping that the silence on this issue from Apple is a sign that they are getting ready to push out an update to correct either itunes or Apple TV. I've read lots of complaints, and just a few remedies. I've tried the remedies (including the one on the Apple TV support site) and none of them work for me. I have noticed one thing that that I wanted to try. In iTunes->Preferences->Apple TV I have an Apple TV in the "Apple TV's connected to iTunes" window, that shows a status of syncing. Since I don't have an Apple TV in the device list, and my Apple TV was reset days ago so it is giving me the code to enter into iTunes, can I assume that this item can and should be deleted. I don't think this is going to solve my problem, but it looks like a good next step. Any suggestions?

HT204365 Why did all my PDF files disappear from ibooks on my iPad

All of my PDF files disappeared from iBooks on my iPad. Where and why did they suddenly disappear? How can I retrieve them?

As far as I can work out, from incomplete downloads, ticks denote all downloaded ok.
The manually manage option is for those who want to tailor their library collections in Music and Video to specific items. If you have this ticked, then it will sync with the sync selections in your devices pages (eg, Music, videos).
If you want to sync all of your collection 'all' the time, leave manually manage off and put the a tick in the devices' page to sync all items Dependent on iCloud use, and or automatic download options in iTunes, new purchased items are added and synced automatically as they are added - this only applies to Store purchased items.
If you are going to added content outside of the Store, then Manually Manage is the option to take for Music and Videos - it does not affect anything else. IE Apps or podcasts, etc.
If you have manually manage off, and 'selected playlist' option ticked, then it will sync existing ticked items, but new items downloaded will require you tick them (a) after the next iTunes automatic download when it connects to the store and downloads any items, or (b) you download to a device and then sync the device, in which case it transfers the new download to your library - but, as happened to you, deletes it from your idevice.
Retcicking and resyncing will add the item back on next sync.
Don't forget that whenever making any kind of manual change to hit Apply and resync, to stop changes being lost.
However, and i cannot stress this enough, iTunes is very problematic, especially when handling large collections. Its sync operations can be erratic or non-functional at times (even buggy perhaps)
If all options fail, then go to your program installation control folder (Control panel\Programs etc on windows) and select to repair iTunes.
And if you have not already got it

Why did the "custom" size option disappear from list when creating a PDF in Photoshop?

For my job, I must have the custom option available to me in Photoshop. I'm currently using CS4 and have been for years without a problem. Yesterday "custom" option from the choose size list disappeared, along with several other options (that I don't use). I have shut down the program and restarted. I've shut down the computer - even over night - and it is still gone. Why did this happen and how do I get this very important tool back?

This one. It only appears once a download has begun.

Why did all my contacts suddenly disappear?

Yesterday morning all my contacts were suddenly gone from my iphones and macbooks. I didn't do anything to my icloud or either device, so I am really confused as to what has happened. Recreating my contact list will take forever!!
The Photostream is also not working, but at least the pictures are on my phone so they aren't lost.
Very Frustrating!!!

Hopefully you won't have to recreate your Contacts...
On the Macs open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Contacts and Photo Stream then reselect then restart the Macs.
On the iPhones tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Contacts and Photo Stream off then back on then restart the devices.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Why did iphoto suddenly disappear from my computer?

I tried to launch iphoto from my dock last night and it had a ? mark on the icon. I looked for the application on my computer and it is gone. Nothing in the trash and I am the only user of this computer. I have reinstalled the application but I would like to know why this happened. Microsoft Word also dissappeared in the same way. Could this be an OSX problem? I am currently running OSX 10.6.8. Has anyone had similar issues?

I actually did have a similar problem. iPhoto never left but I saw a generic "piece of paper with the 'A' application symbol" application icon in iPhoto's place with a ø symbol over that. It said iPhoto was corrupt or was missing files so it wouldn't let me open it. Not that it mattered in my case because I never use it, but nevertheless this is still a mystery to me.

Why did remaining storage capacity suddenly change from 3.5 GB to 0.5 G???

When I wanted to synchronise my iPhone 3G yesterday I suddenly recognised that the storage capacity had sunk from 3.5 GB to 0.5 GB. The yellow bar suddenly had become longer and indicated 3 GB more "OTHERS" (other programs) than before. I didn´t have installed anything so far. What can be the reason for this???
Thanks for all your help!
Klaus hausmann

I restored from a back up. All third party app data and settings seem to be preserved. HOWERVER, I went from 5.73 GB of OTHER Capacity data to 5.81 GB. So restore from a backup file is NOT a solution for this mess.
It seems that this is a file system problem in the OS that has persisted for years from the internet searches I've done.
I'm going to do a full restore, realizing that I will have to re-enter all the data that I did not want to lose. Some of the 3rd party apps have backup/restore import/export features. Some do not.
On a larger scale is this problem 1) acknowledged by Apple as a problem and 2) do they intend to actually solve it (i.e., not suggesting that I restore my phone from scratch destroying my data is actually a reasonable solution)?

Why did the country currency suddenly changed from € to $?

hi there,
since i tried to get some songs from australia, the country currency suddenly changed into $. now, i can't buy songs at itunes anymore, which is pretty sad! does anybody know how to fix that?
thanx,
lilly

Hi Lily,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can only purchase through another country's music store if you have a billing address and a credit card in that country. So unless you have this, you are only able to purchase through the German store.
This is not the fault of Apple, it is to do with the record companies who hold the rights to the music. They decide which countries can have what.
Hope this helps
Cheers

Why did my available app update disappear from the app store

A few weeks ago, I had an update available for one of my iphone apps that I chose not to download since it was said to have bugs. As a result, I had an outstanding badge app icon. Just today I realized that the alert was missing. At first I thought I might have accidentally updated the app when I synced my phone last, but when I search for the app in the app store, it still gives me the option to update (I've included a screen shot below). It just no longer shows an available update under the update tab (see second screen shot) It's not a huge deal at the moment since I don't want to install this update, but I'm afraid the problem might continue with future updates I want to install. Any ideas? I restored my phone from an icloud backup a few days ago, but once the restore was complete, the update alert still showed correctly, so I don't think that's the problem.

It's good to know I'm not the only one with this problem. I had noticed the issue with my downloaded apps displaying the price, but I thought maybe it's always been that way since I never install apps through iTunes on my computer, just my phone. My husband's computer is doing the same thing, but he didn't have any outstanding updates on his phone, so I'm not sure whether his phone is having the same issue. My guess is that if other people are having this problem, they don't have any outstanding updates, so they aren't aware of it. I know many people who make a habit of not updating apps have jailbroken devices and can install an app that hides the badge app icon. I guess for now we need to wait it out and see if the problem fixes itself. It's still annoying though.
P.S.- I just noticed that on my phone if I search for a previously installed app, it just shows the price instead of giving me the option to "Install". I can reinstall it by brining it up in the list of purchased apps, so it's just when searching for the app. Also if I search for a currently installed app, it says "open" instead of showing the price, so it's only with previously intalled apps. Whatever the issue, I hope it's fixed soon.

Why has windows vista home premium disappeared from my computer

I have an hp a6511.uk which I have had for 4 years, it came with windows vista home premium, I did download service pack 2 last year. 2 days ago a window appeared on my screen asking me to activate windows as the copy I had was illegal. I duly entered the correct product key. it was confirmed that my windows was now legal but since all I have is a blank screen. I cannot find microsoft works or anything to do with vista, windows defender will not download, The initial screen comes on as usual & I have my usual shortcuts on screen but that is all. I have tried all forms of recovery but to no avail I feel my only solution is to install the back up cd I made when I first had the computer but I am afraid I may lose some of the software I have installed, has anyone had a similar experience, I have bullguard security.
This question was solved.

Hi there Student. I also use Vista on my HP touchsmart PC at home. I checked into the Microsoft forum to find some info about the "disappearing nature of your Vista Home premium" iCons and solutions. If you google your problem statement, you'll see that this is not a new phenomonon. Microsoft forum also has a paper with some fixit tools. I've used such fixit solutions on my Vista PC and they actually work great! Give this a go and let me know how it turns out! Wishing you all the best with your a6511.uk PC...JWag

It appears that my iTunes Library of song just suddenly disappeared from my iTunes. Did I lose it or is someway I don't know?

It appears that my iTunes Library of song just suddenly disappeared from my iTunes. Did I lose it or is someway I don't know?

To double check it wasn't misplaced do a Spotlight search for a few tracks you know exist. Spotlight will usually find them even if the files have obscure names.
If you really, really can't find any of this anywhere then it is possible it is all gone. Normally an update or doing anything with iTunes should not do this, but once or twice a week out of millions of iTunes users we see somebody who has lost a library. In that case you have to restore it from your computer's backup. If you don't have one (why not?) you have to rebuild the library from the sources. You can re-download most media you have purchased from Apple from the Store (not all though).

HT203167 why has the last minute 20 seconds suddenly disappeared from a song?

why has the last minute 20 seconds suddenly disappeared from a song?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

TS2198 ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working, then disappeared from the computer, from the desktop where I have been using it for the past two years, without trouble, then from the list of applications. . .

ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working. When I pulled the icon from the desktop, it then disappeared from the computer.I have been using it from the desktop for the past two years, without trouble. It has uninstalled itself, without my intervention and has eradicated all traces of it, including all my entries from the computer memory. There is no program in the applications list. Can you say why this may have happened please?

I opened one of the .calendar folders. There was a folder named Events which had either one or some files ending .ics. I opened several of these, which put up a dialogue window showing some parameters with data strings attached as follows :-
