Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Why does Acrobat Pro 11.0.7 updates repeatedly fail to install?

Why am I suddenly getting the error every time autoupdate runs? This just started. I tried uninstalling as directed. When I try to download my previously purchased COMPLETE application, nothing happens. Downloading from the Adobe site gives me an application that Adobe wants me to spend $14 on EVERY month. I've already paid for this application once - I'll be damned if I will pay again. I run Mavericks 10.9.5. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have a solution?

Try http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows (or MAC). With XI, you just go ahead and install the latest. It indicates the update applies to any previous updates. For previous versions of Acrobat. most of the updates had to be installed in order. When you do the installation, be sure to be logged in as the administrator (as when you installed the original XI) and have anti-virus disabled.

Why does the display brightness surge and dim repeatedly?

Periodically, i.e. frequently (about 2-3 times per week), the display brightness surges - dims significantly, then surges to ~60% full brightness whether on battery or adapter power. As I write this note now, it is running with the power adapter and the brightness has been surging since I turned it on about 30 miins. ago.
The battery indicator is showing 98% charge.
Over the past month, as this has occured, I've tried several variations of the power parameters, but with no affect.

I'm replying to my own question above. A few minutes after I posted the Question, I noticed another question in the Community in regard to "systems preferences, display, brightness, etc."
I then opened my "System Preferences, Displays", and, as the brightness continued surging, unchecked the box "Automatically adjust brightness".
Voila! The surging and diminishing brightness issue STOPPED. Over the past several minutes it has not returned. Piece of cake? Time will tell.

What does the "i" in "iPod" stand for and why is lowercase?

What does the "i" in "iPod" stand for and why is it lowercase?

I dont know, I think that was pretty funny.
The i first appeared as a prefix for the iMac. As this was the first one to be equipped with the internet it's a pretty safe bet to assume that it stood for 'internet'.
After that it became a bit of a signature for apple and a kind of unofficial trademark and gets used on everything cos apple think it looks trendy.
Although to be fair the iPod does play tunes that you download using the internet, so there is a link i suppose.
I think this is right but will no doubt get some Mac nerd disagreeing.

Why does my iPhone keep notifying me of upcoming birthdays on Facebook, I can't stand it. How do I get this off?

Why does my iPhone keep posting notices about upcoming birthdays from fb? How do I get rid of it?

It's all coming from Facebook.
Either a notification is turned on or somehow these "events" have been synced to the calendar.
The "how to fix" would depend on the notification. If it's coming from the Facebook app, again, fix the notifications in the settings for your facebook account. Since you're also getting emails, I believe this is where the notifications are coming from.
If they are coming from the calendar app, then either change the notifications for each event or delete the events.

HT2500 I sometimes get e-mails where the sender sends me several PDF's attachments. These attachments appear already opened on the e-mail unlike most PDF's which I open by clicking on the PDF icon. Why does this happen?

I sometimes get e-mails with pdf attachments. However instead of opening a PDF icon the body of the e-mail message has the PDF's already opened. Why does this happen? Is there anything I can change on my mac book pro to make these PDF's come thru with their individual icons which can then be opened.

This is a long-standing design flaw in Apple Mail.
Prior to Mavericks, this command in Terminal would stop the annoying behavior:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
This Terminal command stopped working in Mail 7.1 under Mavericks. I have reported this to Apple as both a feature request and a bug. You should too.

Why does Printing a document cause it to be changed?

When I do page setup, etc, then SAVE the document, and then PRINT the document, the "Changed Bit" in the close box of the document is set, and I cannot just close the document.
Why does Printing change the document?
How can I avoid this. (If I save the document, then Print, I do NOT want any further changes)
Thanks

Bill,
Complaints about actual program misbehavior or outright bugs need to get reported directly to Adobe. This is a users to users forum and while Adobe personnel occasionally show up here (much, much less seldom now than in years past) it is extremely unlikely that they will see or take any action on such reports here. (Although there WAS a recent appearance by an Adobe engineer who independently jumped on an issue that certainly did seem to be a bug).
The kind of thing you've described is annoying and should not happen (yes, lazy programming) but it's interesting sometimes when the explanation for such things reveals intent (rather than ignorance of the apparent defect) in order to solve another problem.
Want REAL annoyance? How about programs that insist on saving (when closing) simply because the file has been opened! That's very common on Windows. Really, really irritating.
But this thread has gone beyond any usefulness regarding your observation of a very tiny pimple on a major gem of engineering. And you've locked horns with one of the major irritants on this forum. If you persist, the 2 of you will just appear to be 2 brats squabbling in a mud hole. He likes that. Do you?
You seem like a nice guy (so far). But it also seems like you like fighting (from this and another thread). It would be interesting to hear more from you. My unsolicited advice? Move on. He will not back down from his childish behavior which is an irritant and embarrassment here to many people. Most of whom simply ignore him and don't stick their necks out like I'm doing now.
He's shamelessly overindulged by the forum moderator who, with all due respect, seems to possess good judgment in most areas save his handling of certain very caustic and inappropriate "members." here. (Sorry Neil)
Ramon is knowledgeable, but confuses the strange protection afforded by a keyboard hitched to the Internet as macho proof of bravado and fearlessness. (He's never "met" anyone who can make him stop posting anything he wants to. Isn't that special?)
On this forum he is not a gentleman. (who knows what he's like in real life? I'll bet he's very different!) Are you a gentleman? Regarding your complaint that you've been insulted, duly noted. I believe most here are on your side. Persist with this for even one more post and you'll have lost your standing. Let it go, COMPLETELY! Start a new thread about something interesting.
Welcome to the fray.

Why does Microsoft continue to ignore web standards in Outlook?

Why does Microsoft refuse to support CSS development?
Is there an email client available that supports full CSS and HTML rendering? I know about Entourage, but that is for Mac and we use PC at work. I am really interested in email newsletters and developing that form of communication, i.e. embedding graphics etc in the body of emails.
I do it now as part of my role - creating the newsletter in Dreamweaver, viewing it in the browser and sending by email. However, I still have to use CSS tables for layout and things like image map hotspots don't work, so I always add a link to the web version of images I create for the emails. I know I can get round it to a certain extent with more rows etc in my tables, but I wish I could just design graphics and images elsewhere, e.g. Illustrator, Photoshop and Fireworks and simply add them to Dreamweaver as I would normally with webpage creation.
I know about Mailchimp and that is not what I want. I want to be able to create everything myself as I do now, but without the CSS restrictions.

I disagree ...
You can disagree all you wish. But I stand by my position that HTML e-mail is more closely akin to text messaging than it is to web development. And Outlook is on a very long list of e-mail clients that do not behave like web browsers:   Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, Squirrel Mail, Eudora, Lotus Notes, etc...
...and take offence at your snooty response.
I don't know what you're smoking my friend, but my reply wasn't snooty or offensive. My tone is best described as abrupt, the result of dashing off hurried replies between other work-related tasks.
You madam need to get your head around good email communication to grab people's attention...
Now who is being condescending and pompous?   Are you telling me that good email needs visual interest? It's a nice idea. But OMG, 75% of e-mail users with anti-virus software have their images turned-off for security reasons and the remaining web mail users don't see images unless they go through hurdles. So what's the point?
In summary, good communication is recognizing the medium for what it is, exploiting it's advantages and diminishing its disadvantages.    You sell the steak; not the sizzle.

Why does I pad import my pictures twice?

Why does the iPad import pictures twice?

In the Camera app, touch the HDR letters at the top to turn that feature off.
The HDR button is in the top center of the screen. Tap on it to turn it either on or off. HDR stands for high dynamic range, and it takes three pictures in a rapid succession with different exposures. It then combines the three for the perfect picture. Keep in mind a few things if you are using HDR. You cannot take pictures in a quick, rapid succession, because of the intense image processing to create the HDR picture. Additionally, HDR photos take up more room on the device by default, because in Settings under the Photos & Camera settings, Keep Normal Photo is turned on.

So, why does a faithful BT customer like meend up ...

So, why does a faithful long-standing BT customer like myself end up being hounded down by a debt collector acting on behalf of BT? It seems that after I paid a fee by card over the phone 18 months ago, it has only now come to light that you didn't take the payment. An admin error on your part surely, and not my responsibility. So why are you now threatening to send the debt collectors to my home and why are you charging me admin fees for the privilege? Perhaps you could shed some light on why I should a) pay for your mistake and b) remain a BT customer? I look forward to hearing your response and hope it is more coherent and understanding than the response I received after spending an hour on the phone to your operatives this morning. Thanks
