Why does Acrobat 8 not launch properly?

Hello,
I have CS2 with Acrobat 7 and an upgrade 8. I have worked with it for at least 2 years without any problem. Now I have changed my system from 2000 PRO to XP Pro. The CS2 programs are all working again. Only Acrobat does not. After the activation it said goodbye. When I launch it, it shows up for a glimpse, maybe 1/10 second, then disappears without any warning, like a dim spark. What can I do?
I have not yet reinstalled the Reader. I want to solve this problem first.
Ich arbeite seit mindestens 2 Jahren mit Acrobat 8 (ich habe CS2 und 7 mit upgrade auf 8). Nun habe ich mein System von 2000 Pro auf XP Pro umgestellt, die CS2 Programme arbeiten wieder einwandfrei, nur Acrobat tut es nicht. Nach der Aktivierung verabschiedete es sich. Wenn ich es starte, zeigt es sich für ca. 1/10 Sekunde wie ein schwaches Fünkchen und verschwindet ohne Fehlermeldung. Was kann ich tun?
Den Reader habe ich noch nicht wieder installiert. Ich wollte dieses Problem zuerst lösen.

Not true!
A standard CD/DVD lens cleaner that uses tiny brushes will do the job.
But you should try resetting the SMC:

If none of that works (and these vertically installed Superdrives that were originally designed for horizontal use in a MacBook can be fickle) then any USB DVD burner/player will work well, and cost from as little as $40. Just make sure that it is stated to be Mac compatible.

Why does Firefox not launch after safe boot?

Folks:
I've been using ML for several months, no particular issues, yesterday as part of the monthly maintenance I did a safe boot, and after that firefox will not launch. Other 3rd party apps will launch, and of course Safari will . . . but, any thoughts as to why FF would go "limp"? When I click on it in the dock the icon bounces but then returns to the dock . . . I tried to launch it from the application folder and from the "previous application" launcher . . . . I tried it in a "guest" account that is never used . . . no difference. I did try to do something in the Terminal, but since I'm thinking that very soon I'm switching up to Mav, I haven't bothered to figure out how to add my regular user account to the sudoers list. But, I did try to launch FF in my admin account by the regular methods yesterday, no luck. Any ideas why this is happening . . . to me? Solutions are better, but, conspiracy theories also accepted . . . . =8 - 0
e.e.p.

Ran "Repair Permissions" several times . . . seems to be fixed.

Why does iPhoto not launch after update to version 9.3.2?

Double clicking the application icon causes it to bounce 3 or 4 times in the dock and then quits. Trying to open with command + option will not launch for a rebuild. Holding down the option key illicits the same behavior.
How can I downgrade to 9.3.1 or make 9.3.2 work? It was working perfectly before the upgrade.
My other computer (a recent MacBook Pro) shows 9.3.1 version and software update shows it's up to date. It works great.

Still will not launch in new user account.
Downloaded a fresh copy of iPhoto 9.3.2 from Apple's website and updated. Did show error this time when it failed to launch.

Why does Acrobat Standard 6.0 recognize scanner but Pro 9 will not?

I am running both programs on an Intel Mac (same machine), 10.5.8 Progam. My Acrobat Standard 6.0 pulls in the scanner immediately, but my Pro 9 will not recognize the scanner. Is there something I have to do to get the Pro 9 to recognize the same scanner?

Thank you so much for your patience and expertise. You spent a lot of time
on this with me. Maybe Adobe will fix the problem in the future! Good
luck to you. Joyce

Why does iphoto not copy all photos when transfering

Hi peeps.
why does iPhoto not copy all photos from an event when im copy/pasting to an external folder on my mac(for later transfer). All softwares are up to date and ive only just realised it happens, but when i copy all pics in an event then paste in a folder, the pic count is substantially different. for example i select all pictures in an event called 'new1', the count of files is 188. i then copy/ paste to a folder, select all files and check 'info' and it says 141 files???
all i can see painstakingly going through to compare which images are in each place is that the ones that arent in my new folder , seem to be the ones ive edited in iPhoto?? conincidence? or am I missing something fundamental here? Ive only just realised this is occuring. The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space. So basically all of the versions of pictures I want, i.e, the new edited and adjusted versions are no longer! NOT HANDY!
help please.

We've seen a few reports of this in the past while and no one is sure of the cause.
Use the File -> Export command. See this User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
for details of the options the Export Dialogue offers.
If you're interested in your Photos then this workflow
The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.
means you are losing quality, metadata and the version of control. If you don't want these why use iPhoto at all?
You could just move the whole Library to an external:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Why does Firefox not work here in China anymore, since January of 2015?

I have used Firefox for years, as the fastest and most reliable browser for me, esp in China... not anymore! Last month (unknown to me) a hijacker called Vosteran took over my Firefox browser. I finally realized it and got it cleaned up using Malwarebytes anti-malware, and downloaded a new Firefox... now SAME problem exists, even with Vosteran removed!
Firefox will not allow me into ANY normal sites, saying they don't have the proper security code. This includes my Yahoo front page, email account, ESPN and other common sites that are certainly NOT dangerous. So, WHY does Firefox not work anymore? It is useless to me here in China the way it works now.

hello rickinchina, first please make sure that the '''date, time & timezone''' are set correctly on your system and that firefox is set to directly connect to the internet (that's the "'''no proxy'''" setting in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > network > connection - settings...'').
if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
* what is the '''error code''' shown under ''technical details'' on the error page?
in case the error code equals ''sec_error_unknown_issuer'', please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page (but don't do it for real) and inspect the certificate (see the screenshot attached for instructions):
* which '''issuer information''' does the certificate contain?
please report back with those two pieces of information. thank you!

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

Why does acrobat reader crash upon opening in iMac os 10.10.1

why does acrobat reader crash upon opening in iMac os 10.10.1

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Why does Acrobat prompt me to sign up when I need to export to excel?

Why does Acrobat prompt me to sign up when I need to export to excel?

Hi shirlaowry,
I checked your account (using the same email address that you use here in the forums), and I don't see that you have any subscriptions. If you're using Adobe Reader, you need either an ExportPDF or Adobe PDF Pack subscription to convert a PDF file to Word.
(Acrobat, as opposed to Reader, lets you save directly to Word format, and does not require a separate subscription for that functionality.)
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,
Sara

Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes. None of the cd info shows up either

Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes? None of the cd info shows up either.

Well, the format I upload from the camera is "video clip" or "video for Windows"...sometimes I've converted them to avi format, too. But as I said, it never even lets me get that far...I never get to even select a clip. As soon as I tell the program to "import/clip" it freezes up before I can even go to the folder that the clips are in. It has only begun to do this recently, and I'd never had any problems like this before. Last night I tried it again, and I clicked "open composition", and it froze when I did that too.
I'm not sure how much more specific I can be about the details of the clips, since I'm positive it has nothing to do with the clips themselves...I'm running Windows XP, though...Home Edition Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz, with 504 MB of RAM. I have had the automatic updates turned on since I did my last reformat a couple of weeks ago. Could it have something to do with some kind of an update it may have done?

Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.

HT204406 I have subscribed to match on iTunes and organized my music on my Mac Book. Why does it not appear the same way on my iPad

I would like my music to appear organized in the same way on my iPad as I have done it on my Mac Book. (and on my iPhone as well) Since it is in the cloud, why does it not appear the same way in all devices?

The purpose of iTunes match is to make your music library available to all of your devices anywhere. It will sync Playlists, but no other type of organization you may have made.
If you're having trouble, be sure you are logged into the same Apple ID on all devices but be sure to read this article and pay special attention to associating your devices with an Apple ID. There are important restrictions you should know about.

Why does Acrobat 11 open cached or "ghost" versions of my PDFs?

Here's my work flow...
Save a PDF from an Illustrator doc/open PDF in Acrobat to sanitize/email PDF
-get revision request-
Revise same Illustrator file/save as a PDF/open PDF in Acrobat and it views as the original PDF!
When I "quick look" on the desktop the PDF displays the revised comp. So my question is why does Acrobat 11 keep the cached image of the PDFs and how can I prevent this? Quitting Acrobat will fix the issue once so if I go to revise the same file for a 3rd, 4th time it'll show the cached version every time.

If you choose 'Preserve Illustrator editing' when exporting from AI, it actually embeds the entire AI file inside the PDF as a hidden attachment. Opening the PDF in Illustrator it will ignore the 'real' PDF content and open the AI object instead, so you never see the changes from Acrobat.
