  • 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?

  • My pinned apps tabs keep disappearing. They will stay for a week or so, then all of a sudden they're gone. I checked the forums and everything that was suggested there, I did or un-did. But there's no point in having the tabs if they don't stay.

    My pinned apps tabs keep disappearing. They will be there for a week or so, then they just aren't there the next time I open the browser. My settings seem to be OK, i.e. no clearing of history, etc.
    It's frustrating because then I have to go through the whole process of pinning everything as app tabs again.

    Try the suggestion in this thread: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/840901 instead of the garbage above. You would think mozdevs who actually know a solution to this problem would post the solution in all the relevant threads.
    If it doesnt work too, I'm ready to get rid of FF as my primary browser.
    Why bother providing a feature thats buggy ?? I once wasted my time pinning 20 apps over and over again till I realized it was poorly written and unsupported.

  • Why do my messages keep disappearing from Notification Centre?

    I've only noticed this since upgrading to iOS 7.1 and I can't find any answers anywhere on the Internet. As the title states: why do my messages keep disappearing from Notification Centre? Usually after an hour or two. The badge on the app icon will stay and if I get another message, the new one shows up in Notification Centre, again just for a while.

    Salvizuno -
    did you ever solve this problem? i just upgraded to the 5s and my notifications disappear... and it is very frustrating. i have called apple support, gone to the apple store, swapped out my phone but with no luck... can you advise if and how you fixed the problem please?
    thanks!

  • Why do my bookmark tabs keep disappearing?

    I have a mac and ever since my Firefox was updated automatically and told me to install the newest version of Flash Player, my bookmark tabs have disappeared. And every time I add them again once I quit Firefox and restart it they are gone again. I haven't touched my preferences in a very long time and this problem only started when the browser was updated. I've tried re-installing the browser and Flash Player, which didn't work. I've also tried holding down option while opening Firefox and selecting to restore my bookmarks, which also doesn't help me.

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Why does my cursor keep disappearing in the Google search bar?

    When using FF or Google Chrome, I've noticed that my cursor keeps disappearing when using the Google search bar. I've tried using all the about:config tips, I've downgraded to earlier versions, I've pressed F7, I've unchecked the "hide cursor while typing" option in my mouse properties, I've checked for driver updates, I've tried disabling all add-ons and plug-ins, and I've checked another computer in our home as well. Same thing there. This seems to have become a problem in the last few days. IE seems unaffected by it. Just FF and Chrome.

    No sir, there are no other tabs open, when it happens. For now, I've found a workaround, and I invite you to test it yourself.
    I've been working on this problem all day. I've noticed that the cursor blinks very slowly in the Google search bar. If you press a key while the cursor is blinking "off", it will stay off until you let go of what key you're pressing. Conversely, if you press a key while the cursor is blinking "on", the cursor will remain visible as you type.
    In IE, the cursor blinks much more rapidly, and blinks more "on" than "off." As a result the cursor remains on, no matter what you type or when, or what key you press, including the spacebar. This is not the case in FF or Chrome.
    It was suggested in the Google forums that disabling "autocomplete" has helped with this problem. I followed the instructions and successfully disabled the "auto-complete" feature on Google. When I did that, I immediately noticed that the cursor blink speed doubled, like what I'm used to seeing. Further, no matter what I did, the cursor did NOT disappear anymore.
    The link for google with autocomplete disabled is http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0
    Go there and see if you notice a difference in the blink speed of the cursor. On my computer, the difference is drastic. While I do enjoy "auto-complete" and will miss this feature, I generally don't rely on it, and much prefer a consistent cursor.
    I greatly look forward to your feedback on this. If you figure out a way to have Google work normally without this workaround, I will be forever in your debt.

  • My tabs keep disappearing.

    My last update was 4/21. Since then my tabs are disappearing from view when I open multiple pages. If I move my cursor to the top of the page, they reappear. I am wondering if this was part of the update? It temporarily allows you to view a bit more of the page I am viewing, but if this is supposed to be an advantage...it is NOT. I like to be able to see what tabs I have open and not have to scroll to the top of the page every time. Please help me correct or change this...thank you.

    Firefox might be in full screen view. The F11 key switches between normal and full screen views.
    It should <u>not</u> get stuck that way... If you find you have to keep switching out of full screen view, the file that stores window dimensions might have become corrupted. You can rename the file to resolve that issue, but this also may affect which bars are shown (for example, if you like using the classic menu bar, you may need to turn that back on). Here's how:
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?

  • Why do my podcasts keep disappearing after I download them to my computer.

    Since updating iTunes to the newest version, I have been having problems with my podcasts.  Specifically, my episodes keep disappearing.  The first time I figured it was a fluke, but it happened again and again.  Every time I close iTunes and open it again, the podcasts have disappeared even though I have all my podcasts set up to keep all episodes.  The episodes are all still listed, but there is a little cloud with an arrow inside pointing down next to each one.  There are a handful of random episodes that are still there (without the cloud and arrow icon).  I searched for the files in my computer's music folder and even the files are suddenly missing and I know they used to be there.  I don't know why this keeps happening.  Is anyone else having this problem and how can I stop it from happening?

    Same problem. I am a daily Podcasts listener, and podcasts that worked the day before will literally not work the next day.  All the podcasts on my iphone will suddenly be broken. This keeps happening to me, and it's most glaring when I try to resume listening to an episode I listened to half of on the previous day. I suddenly get the error message:
    Episode Unavailable: "This episode is temporarily unavailable from [Podcast name]
    This started when I got the new Iphone 5s (iOS7) and was forced to switch to using the Podcasts app outside of the Music app.  And now it's happening constantly to my regular podcasts. The listened to status is also sometimes wrong. Podcasts I've already listened to, and in some cases deleted, will show up again as fresh downloads.
    I have to remove the corrupted podcasts one by one and download them again manually. 
    RIDICULOUS and UNUSABLE. This Podcasts app does not work.

  • Why do my footnotes keep disappearing on my new Macbook Air?

    My footnotes keep disappearing on Microsoft Word, on my Macbook Air. I have only had the computer (and Word) for a week or so. Do you know why this is?
    The footnotes do reappear when I close the document and reopen it, but it means I am unable to work uninterrupted!

    I agree with -Sheridan- that this is an AutoRecover issue.  I write a lot of Word documents with footnotes and never had the "disappearing footnote" issue until I switched to an iMac and MS Word for Mac 2011 (which I bought together in December 2013).  I tried changing the footnote line spacing to "exact".  I tried unchecking all of the Word compatability rules.  None of that worked.  And, the footnote disappearance happened, like clockwork, at the same intervals as AutoRecover was saving my document (every 10 minutes), whether I was typing anything or not. I could tell when it happened because my document text and inserted photos would suddenly shift out of place and my footnotes would disappear.  (This only happens with footnotes of more than one line). 
    I also agree that it is safer to have AutoRecovery on, but I did not want to have to close out my document and reopen it (and realign the text) every 10 minutes so I turned it off.  I hope the maintainers of MS Word for Mac will see this and fix this obvious bug.

  • Why does my apps keep disappearing?

    Hello, I have a iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.1 and my apps keep disappearing while I download them, but, the 'Install' button still can work. Please help me! (Extra: It is jailbroken.

    Have you setup restrictions in your System Preferences?
    Some setting combinaitions could, for example, allow you to install apps but nor run them (since you have an age limit set up)?

  • TS3899 Why do my emails keep disappearing from my iphone?  These are emails that I have not deleted.

    My emails keep disappearing from my inbox even though I have not deleted them.

    I have tried to rebuild the mailbox to no avail.  The mailbox behavior says:  Drafts (not checked) store draft messages on the server, Notes (checked) show not in Inbox, Sent (checked) Store sent messages on the server Delete sent messages when (option never selected), Junt (not checked) store junk messages on the server Delete junk messages when (option never selected), Trash (checked) moves deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and (checked)  store deleted messages on the server Permanently erase deleted messages when (one month old option selected).
    I have not set up any rules that I know of other than a signature, in the very least I have not changed any.

  • Why do my alarms keep disappearing?

    I use google calendars to sync with iCal (4.0.4) and my iOS Cal.
    For some reason, when I add an new event in iCal, there's a spinning wheel next to that delegate in the lefthand sidebar and then when I look at that new event everything is there except the alarm.
    I use alarms a lot, so it'd be handy if anyone could help me sort this out.

    I have the same problem but check this out.  3 weeks after they disappeared from my iPad they show up in my Yahoo email account.  Go figure.  Strange thing is that was the first place I looked when I lost them.  Why it takes 3 weeks to get from my iPad to my email account is but another mystery but I am glad they finally showed up.
    You might try checking under SETTINGS, then under NOTES to see if you have an account listed there, usually either an email account or an iCloud account.  If so odds are your notes might be in one of these other places.  But you might have to check for some weeks......

  • Why do my podcasts keep disappearing from iTunes?

    So I subscribe to a few podcasts, and I've noticed that since the update only the 10 most recent episodes are staying on my computer. The old episodes are still available in my iCloud but I have to waste internet redownloading them, and even when I do that they still seem to disappear. Any idea on how to stop iCloud from messing with my podcasts, or even better turn it off from iTunes entirely?

  • Why do my Notes keep disappearing?

    I make notes in my "Notes" app and days later, they're gone.  WHY?

  • Why does my cursor keep disappearing?

    I can't type it's so frustrating! Every 10 or so letters I type I have to reclick on the area I'm typing to be able to continue. It stops and then makes some stupid sound.  To type this I had to reset the cursor 12 times.
    HELP!!!!!

    Since this is a MacBook Pro, you might ask your question in that forum; this forum is for iMac users.
    You might check to see if the problem still happens when you Safe Boot Mac OS X.  If the problem isn't there when you Safe Boot, then it's probably related to a third-party program or startup item.
    When something is handling keyboard input, we say it has "focus".  When you're typing into a text field, then that field has focus.  If you click somewhere else, then focus moves to where you clicked.  What you're describing sounds like focus is moving somewhere unexpectedly.  It might help to figure out where.
    While it won't solve your problem, VoiceOver can help is figure out where focus is going.  VoiceOver is a program that's part of Mac OS X that is designed to let blind users use the computer, but it also may help shed some light on your situation.
    Open System Preferences, and select Universal Access.  Under the "Seeing" tab, click "Open VoiceOver Utility…".  In the "Navigation" section, make sure that "Initial position of VoiceOver cursor" is set to "Keyboard focused item".  Also, make sure that "VoiceOver cursor follows keyboard focus" is checked.  Close VoiceOver Utility and go back to System Preferences.  Still in the "Seeing" tab of Universal Access, turn on VoiceOver.  At this point, the computer will start talking, so use headphones if the baby's asleep!
    VoiceOver will show an introductory note, and read it to you.  You can just click "Ok".  Now, VoiceOver will tell you whenever the focus moves.  VoiceOver can be tricky in a web browser if you're not used to it, so ignore Safari for this test.  Instead, start a new Mail message, or open Spotlight, or do anything else that will give you a text cursor.  Wait six blinks, and listen to what VoiceOver says when the cursor disappears.  It should briefly describe where the focus has moved to.  For example, if focus moves to the Finder, then it may say something like "Finder, Desktop" and the name of the currently selected file.  If you want more information, you can press Control-Option-F4 (you probably need to hold down Fn as well, since you're on a laptop).  That will make VoiceOver describe what has keyboard focus.  (Control-Option-F3 will give you a little bit different information too.)
    You may want to repeat this test a few times with different programs and different windows to see if there's a pattern.  For instance, if focus always moves to the same program regardless of what's open, then that program may be stealing focus.  Once you've got an idea of where focus is going, you can turn off VoiceOver in System Preferences.
    While this won't fix your problem, it may provide more information to make it easier to figure out what's going on.
