Why does Adobe keep releasing updates for Acrobat that make the PDF print option diasappear?

I am really disappointed that after installing an update to Acrobat 9 my PDF printer has disappeared from my printer list.
This is the second time this has happened. The last time this happened Adobe were still supporting Acrobat 9 and they ended up having to remote in to my machine to fix it.
Now I have to pay if i want that level of support!!! It begs the question why they release these destructive updates. Is it to force people to upgrade to X or purchase support.
Can anybody give me some instructions on how to manually install the PDF printer?
I am running windows 7

Launch the Devices and printers setup utility through the Control Panel.
2Select the \"Add a Printer\" option.
3Click the \"Next\" button and select the \"Local Printer Attached to This Computer\" option.
4Deselect (uncheck the box) the \"Automatically Detect and Install My Plug and Play Printer\" option and click the \"Next\" button.
5Select \"My Documents\\*.pdf (Adobe PDF)\" in the port selection drop-down menu and click the \"Next\" button.
6Select the \"Have Disk\" option and click the \"Browse\" button to open a dialog box.
7Select the \"AdobePDF.inf\" file located in the AdobePDF folder in your Program Files directory under \"Adobe,\" \"Acrobat 9.0,\" \"Acrobat,\" \"Xtras.\"
8Select the first item (top item) on the list of Adobe PDF Converter options and click the \"Next\" button.
9Type \"Adobe PDF\" in the field for a printer name and click \"Next.\"

Does Adobe still release updates for Flash Player 10?

Our users are currently on XP and are using Adobe Flash Player 10.3.183.18.
Does Adobe still release updates for version 10 or do we have to go to 11 to be up to date security-wise?

The latest update for Flash Player 10.x is 10.3.183.20; you can obtain the installers from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

Why does Adobe keep adding in unwanted 'features' that annoy their users?

First Adobe made it so that if your browser isn't looking directly at a flash, it slows down to about 1 FPS or less with no option available to disable this 'feature', making it impossible to play numerous idle games around the web. But I wasn't too much of a fan of idle games to begin with, so no harm done to me directly, at least.
Now whenever you clear your browsing history, Adobe decided in it's wisdom that we wanted to delete all our flash save files as well. Without so much as a prompt to ask us if we wanted them deleted. Without even bothering to tell us that this was happening. So many, many hours of gamesaves gone. What the hell, Adobe?

If you need help wioth Flash Player and Acrobat Reader you should try the forums for them.

Just updated Firefox to 3.6.9 Adobe was updated also. Why does Adobe keep trying to update everytime a new Firefox window is started?

This action is very annoying. Whenever a new Firefox instance is started, a window pops up saying it is updating Adobe. Then another window comes up showing what is being updated. But it is blank.

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
*Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.
*http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
You can find the links to download the Flash plugin for Windows at the bottom of this page:
Adobe - Common Flash Player download and installation issues (Windows): http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/support/index.html
Go to: 3. Download Adobe Flash Player : Flash_Player_10_Plugin (All other Windows browsers)

Why does adobe keep crashing for no reason on higher versions of Firefox than Firefox 13?

Any idea for this? This is very annoying and a waste of time. I even have hardware acceleration turn off on Firefox.

Download the Flash Player uninstaller.
Save it - DO NOT run it yet.
Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link and selecting "Save Link as".
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Save the installer to your downloads folder - DO NOT run it yet.
Close your browser completely (check the Task Manager to be sure the Firefox process is no longer running).
Run the uninstaller to completely remove Flash Player.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE you run anything else, locate and run the installer to replace Flash Player.

Why does Application Manager say "Try" for Acrobat XI Pro?

If I have a Creative Cloud subscription, why does the Application Manager say "Try" for the Acrobat XI Pro app? Shouldn't I be able to upgrade my existing X Pro version? I have tried in the past, but it will not work after download.

Re-reading my post from Saturday, I thought I could add some more detail about what I am actually seeing.
When I launch Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.2, the standard Acrobat window providing options for the next actions I can take with Acrobat - Open a file, combine files into a PDF, etc. - appears briefly and then Adobe Application Manager launches automatically. AAM shows me a window labeled "Adobe Acrobat XI." At the top of the window area is the title "Serial Number Upgrade," and the text below that headline states, "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer." It goes on to state, "To use this serial number, you must own one of these qualifying products. Please choose the one you own and enter its serial number."
Below that there is a drop-down menu titled "Select a product," which lists the following products:
Adobe Acrobat X Standard
Adobe Acrobat XI Standard
Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard
Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard
Adobe Acrobat X Pro Macintosh
Adobe Acrobat X Pro Windows
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Macintosh
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Windows
Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional Macintosh
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Windows
Adobe Acrobat 3D V8
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended
Adobe Acrobat X Suite
Next to this drop-down menu is a text entry block for the serial number.
Below that is the text, "If you have registered products in the past, you can go to you account page to find your serial number. Contact Customer Support for further assistance."
My next step will probably be to do another complete uninstall and reinstall to see if that changes anything.

Why does it keep asking me for the login keychain password?

I am having a problem where my imac keeps asking me for a "login keychain" password. I type in my password every time, but that doesn't fix my problem. I need to know if this is bad or not, and how i can turn it off.
Thanks!

Hey there Daniel,
It sounds like you are being prompted over and over for your Login Keychain, and entering it does not seem to make the prompts stop. I would start by running First Aid on the Keychain with this article:
Mac OS X 10.6: Solving problems with keychains
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph7296
To check keychains for problems using Keychain First Aid:
Open Keychain Access, located in the Utilites folder in the Applications folder.
Choose Keychain Access > Keychain First Aid.
Enter your user name and password.
Select Verify and click Start. Any problems found will be displayed.
If there are problems, select Repair, and then click Start.
If that does not resolve the issue, I would next reset your Keychain:
In Keychain Access, choose Preferences from the Keychain Access menu.
If available, click the Reset My Default Keychain button. This will remove the login keychain and create a new one with the password provided.
If Reset My Default Keychain is not available, choose Keychain List from the Edit menu.
Delete the "login" keychain.
The next time you log in to the account, you can save your current password in a keychain.
From: OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Why does it take so long for Acrobat to call up a PDF?

I run Acrobat Pro Extended 9.0 on Windows XP Home.
When I want to view a PDF -- either by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer or by opening Acrobat and calling it up through "File/Open..." -- it takes 15 to 30 seconds for Acrobat to bring up the document.
It wasn't always this slow. Calling up a PDF was once quite snappy.
I uninstalled, then reinstalled Acrobat 9 to see whether that would help. It didn't.
I checked services, but Acrobat and the programs on which it depends start automatically.
No other program seems to be affected in this way.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the tip.
Seems to me a lot of sophisticated programs are adding "features" like this that wind up making the program more difficult to use.
I'm solving the problem by switching to a smaller, less complicated program.
Again, thanks.

Why does it keep asking me for a password?

im trying to use mail for my email services.
when i first registerd, i had an apple id, and email address at mac and all that stuff.
recently, i tried to use a different email address, and ive had nothing but grief.
1. i dont use mac mail, or me mail, or whatever crap it is now, i never have and i never will. i tried to delete my mailbox for my mac account, as well as deleting the account itself from my preferences > accounts menu, but whenever i click the "get mail" button it keeps asking me to enter the password for:
“wappit” on SMTP server “smtp.mac.com”
now, for reasons my feeble mind is yet to comprehend, i am totally unable to enter any password for this that it will accept. ive tried to re set my password several times, and each time it has no effect.
now i dont want to use this mail server, at all, for anything.
how do i adjust my mail program so it stops asking me for a password that i dont have, for an account which i cant access, to use a mailbox that i dont want?

I am unsure as to what you are referring to with respects to my accounts, but ill try and clarify.
I vaguely remember having to sign up for an apple ID several months ago. since that time, my mail program has been asking me for the password for the server (as i listed it) and i have never been able to enter a password that it accepts. Ill be the first to admit that computers are not my strong point, and especially not Apples, as i used PC's my whole life, but i do write down passwords that i use for accounts.
so anyways, i never used the mail account, or the apple forums up until a few days ago when i tried to set up another mail server (the one i use) so that i could access it from mail.
it wouldnt accept the password that i though it should be, so i followed the prompts and instructions to re set my password. again, it didnt change anything.
finally i created this apple id to access this message board. i hope this clarifies my situation...
anyways, as per your advice:
so i went in to keychain, but all i see is the mail server account that i want to be using, and i dont see the mac server account on the list.

App Store keeps showing update for program that has been uninstalled

The App Store keeps showing an update available for Virus Barrier Express even after I have removed it completely from my system. Going into the Purchased list shows it is not installed. When the application was installed it always said there was an update. No matter how many times you clicked Update and allowed it to download and install the update, the App Store still showed the update needed to be installed.
On another machine it constantly shows an update for one of the installed applications but clicking the update button doesn't clear the update once it's been downloaded and installed.
Deleting the App Store preference hasn't resolved the issue. Enabling the debug menu and using the Reset Applications option has not either.

I found out what was causing my problem (can't re-install an app that I deleted and which was purchased from the App Store). The app I was trying to re-install under Lion was Apple's Compressor v4 which is only available through the Mac App Store. However, even though I was booting from my one-and-only copy of Lion the Mac App Store was apparently getting confused by an old copy of Compressor v3.5 that was installed on another boot disk that I maintain for Snow Leopard. I'm running on a quad-disk Mac Pro so all four disks mount whenever I start the system. In any case, all I had to do was unmount the other disks and the Mac App Store then allowed me to install Compressor v4 on my Lion system.
The reason I was able to pinpoint this solution is that I wanted to run another Mac App Store app (Find Any File) and even though the Store said it was "Installed" I couldn't find the application in either the Lion Application folder or within LaunchPad. I then realized that the App Store was referencing the copy of that app that was stored on my Snow Leopard disk and unmounting that disk finally allowed me to install both Compressor v4 and Find Any File on my actual/current boot disk (i.e. Lion).
Now, the odd thing about this problem is that Compressor v4 wasn't installed on any of my disks, it was the older version of Compressor (v3.5.3) that apparently was preventing me from installing the new version 4 on my Lion system. In fact, Compressor v3.5.3 crashes immediately under Lion so that version of the app isn't even usable when I'm running Lion.
So, if you're having a problem with installation or app removal or updates from the Mac App Store try dismounting any other disks which you might have attached to your Mac and see it that solves your problem. If it does solve the problem then you can almost be assured that the cause of your difficulty is some file that is present on one of your other disks (i.e. app may not even be on your current boot disk).

Why does Safari keep saying "it can't connect to the server" every time I try to access any sites?

I have the latest safari update for os x, which was working perfectly fine up until 3 days ago. Everytime I would try to access any site, safari would tell me it couldn't connect to the server, and I would have to refresh the page at least 5-10 times until I can access the site. I checked my internet, and it seems to be running perfectly. I also tried using Chrome and it had no problems accessing sites, too, so I know it's not my internet. :/
Is anyone else having the same problems?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

I just downloaded find my iphone. Why does it keep saying I am not connected to the internet when I know i am?

I am trying to get my "Find my Iphone" app to work and after I sign in with my apple id and password, it keeps telling me Im not connected to the internet. I click "try again" and it does nothing. I double checked that I am connected to my local wi-fi and not sure what else to do. Help!!

Why does Adobe keep telling me I need an update for my Flash Player?

When I say OK, it says my system won't support it. Shouldn't it know that before telling me I need an update? I am runing Snow Leopard.

You can try to download the latest version from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
