Why does Windows call my Acrobat 8.1 documents "AcroExch.Document"?

I just installed Acrobat 8 on a new computer. On my previous computer, Acrobat documents were listed in Windows as "Adobe Acrobat 8" File Type. Now Windows calls them "AcroExch.Document" and the icon looks different. They seem to be working okay (they open in Acrobat 8; I checked that the .PDF file type is assigned to open with Acrobat 8 in the File Types options) but it's disconcerting becasue I don't know why it's different. Could there be something wrong with the installation?

Thanks for your repsonses. Apparently, the installation of the update to 8.1.2 was incomplete. I started the program from the Start menu just now and it automatically began to install the update (whereas when I double-clicked a pdf file to start Acrobat, this didn't happen). After completion of the installation and a Windows restart, everything looks normal now.

Why does Windows 7 keep closing down Adobe reader?

Why does Windows 7 keep closing down Adobe reader?

Three possibilities
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Why does downloaded upgrade to Acrobat 9.5.2 under Win XP HE SP3 fail ?

Also, do you mean the upgrade from AA9 to AA XI? Where did you download the upgrade? The only upgrade available from Adobe is to AA XI.

Why does Windows 7 not show up in System Preference's "Startup Disk"

Why does Windows 7, installed via Boot Camp, show up when you hold down the option key when booting but the drive does not show up in System Preferences under the Startup Disk icon.
As an aside Windows 7 runs perfectly on my MacBook.
- Mike

Now I found I'm not alone. My situation is similar but not exactly the same.
I recently switched from the white MacBook to latest mac mini, tried installing XP Pro not successful for some reasons then tried Win7 (build 7000). On my old macbook this worked perfectly.
Got win7 updated and picked win7 as startup disk in windows, used that for few days without going back to leopard. On just one occasion I booted with 'alt' key pressed (using a PC keyboard) I have choices of drives so I thought everything was fine. As soon as I booted into leopard I found no win7 partition in system>preference>startup disk, OMG I couldn't boot back to win7 since then. From that point onwards the 'alt' key didn't work for me. Every time only leopard can be booted.
What can I do now?
Why it was OK in macbook but didn't work on mini? Is it worth investing on a mac external keyboard just to get the 'option' key?

HT1245 Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s.

Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s. I have looked onlime at several threads and there are no real answers as to what I need to do or am doing wrong.

I am also having this issue.
I've just spoken to someone in the Apple Support Centre who advised me that since the product is in beta, he is unable to assist. I wanted to find out whether someone was able to delete the data for me, or 'reset' the photos app somehow. This apparently cannot be done. He suggested I provide feedback via the feedback page, which I will do, but to be honest doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence in the issue being fixed.
I also deactivated the service and waited the 30 days for the pictures to be deleted - this should have been completed in mid-January. Instead, my iCloud.com Photos page is now showing the photos that should have been deleted as grey squares, just as you described. I am also unable to delete these photos; every time I try, I get the same message about a server error.
I am also unable to disable the service by enabling and then disabling it on my iPhone. Each time I have tried this it hangs on uploading for several hours, with the progress bar not moving at all. When I disable it on my iPhone, the web app remains unchanged.
If anyone has had this issue and has managed to fix it, PLEASE share your wisdom. I am out of patience!

Why does windows have 64-bit iTunes but not mac?

I can't believe it. I searched the archives here and someone said because most people don't have 64-bit compatible machines. Then why does Windows get separate versions but not the native OS?
I'm running audio hardware optimized for 64-bit (drivers) but the sound quality of iTunes is worse in 64-bit than in 32-bit.
Anyone have any knowledge when 64-bit is going to be released?

iTunes is only 32 bit for Windows OS and Mac OS.
The 64bit version for Windows simply includes 64 bit drivers. The application itself is only 32 bit.

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.

If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

Why does windows 8 email app share contacts across email accounts?

Great app otherwise, but WHY does the email app allow all accounts to access every accounts contacts??? This is just awful - top easy to send email from the wrong account. Also, it would be great if the app allowed us to alter UI colors/fonts for each
account.
Any option for this?
Anybody else hate this?

Hi,
This seems like design by default, I doesn't find any workaround method until now.

Why does OCR crash with Acrobat XI on a brand new Mac. It happens almost every time on a long document.

Brand new Macbook Pro, running OS X Mavericks. Latest trial version of Acrobat Pro. I need to make lengthy (say 1,000 pages) document searchable. OCR crashes after a couple of hundred pages every time. I get an error like this:
abort() called
terminating with uncaught exception of type IDRS::CIDRSException

I've had a similar problem. I was going to start a new thread but I think I'll just include my problem here.
I am OCRing (if you'll allow me to turn OCR into a verb) a large number of documents. Every once in awhile Acrobat crashes. It gives the message that I've pasted in below. There was some discussion about this in a previous thread, but that concerned Acrobat 9, and an Adobe representative responded to the thread, saying that the problem would be fixed with 9.1. There was talk there of the problem being one of resolution of image, but that possibility seemed to have been ruled out. This problem usually occurs with larger files (greater than, say, 25 GB), and rarely with smaller ones. (I should mention that I'm OCRing Japanese language documents, but this really shouldn't make a difference.)
Other threads about this: Acrobat 9 crashes on OCR and OCR CrashingCan anyone help me with a problem I am having with the current OCR engine crashing, I have a lot of difficul….
If Acrobat simply skipped the problem pages it wouldn't be such a problem, as I'd simply have, say, three or four non-OCR pages in a 500-page document, but that's not the case. Instead it crashes and I then have to go back and actually watch the OCR process, waiting to see which page is the problem so that I can manually skip it. This turns a process that ideally is one my computer does while I cook dinner or do other work into a time-consuming endeavor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I need to post an example of the problem page here I can do so.

Why does Windows do this...

On my Windows Server 2012 i had three seagate barracuda 3TB disks installed in a software raid-5. I gave them the letter E:.
I started copy files from single disk to the more secure raid-5 disk and this morning i saw some strange folders appear. It was dated last night 3 am and i figured that it had to be the windows scheduled update. I do not understand why Windows does this,
it doesn't add up in logic. I had one disk removed where he did the same thing, and made all three disks to a new letter. I wanted to keep things neat and clean, now Windows is making a mess. Can anyone tell me how i can redirect this to another disk, one
that's been in there from the beginning, let's say, C: ???
The folders are empty, i tried to watch the update going, but it failed, maybe that's the reason why it leaves garbage folders...

Hi,
From the folder name I think these are temp folders for installing updates (possible display card or CPU related as folder named AMD64).
By default it will choose the largest volume for creating temp folder. For example if we downloaded a new driver for a display card, it will ask for creating a location for extract the installation folders/files - by default it will pick up the largest volume
and create a folder. In Windows Updates it creates a random folder name for extract installation files.

Hi, yes, i suggested it before that it was definately connected to the update proces, but in all my IT-training and from years experience, i never heard that Windows picked by default the biggest size disk to put their "garbage" on. (Not that i
never saw it before, but i never stood still by it, until now.) How can i change that?
I was thinking to look for it in the register, but i am not happy to change things at random. Can i fool the process? by turning, during the coming night, the biggest volume off? Maybe it remembers then to pick another useless disk or the C volume... I want
to try this last option coming night, because now it is copying shit, eh valuable zero's and one's to it.. (-:

What is SMB/CIFS? Why does window ask for File System Authentication

Set up: G5 dual processor tower w 2.5 GB sdram running OS 10.4.11
Connected to MacBookPro 2.4 GHz IntelCore 2 Duo w 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running OS 10.5.4
via Airport.
MacBookPro does not show up on Network from G5.
But G5 tower is connected from MacBookPro.
An alias appears on Network list from G5 with the identity "Mac001B638898Ba8". When it is clicked on to connect a window appears asking to enter the workgroup or domain and user name (both filled in automatically) and a password.
No password I have ever used works when entered in the password box.
What is going on? There is no Win machine anywhere near here that I have knowledge of.
Thank you.

You did not uninstall the original version and there may be some reference to a DVD based installed stored somewhere. The so-called repair install doesn't work, anyway. uninstall first, then reinstall. You may also need to manually delete the caps.db in C:\Program Files (x86)\common fiels\Adobe\caps. Notee that due to a bug in CS3 you may need to run this twice, that is uninstall, delete the ccaps.db, reinstall, uninstall again without deleting the caps.db, then reinstall a 2nd time or else you may see licensing errors.

Why does windows media player cut off after 4 minutes?

I use safari and like to listen to some radio from the internet that uses windows media player on my G5. I updated the media player recently and now it quits after four minutes no matter what media is playing. I do not have windows media on my other machine and VLC opens automatically whenever I click on a stream in my browser... and it never quits or has any problems and is remarkably faster than the windows player. How do I change the settings in Safari so that it will use VLC to automatically open any of those media files instead of media player??
I did download Flip4mac but it does not seem to be helping!!
thanks

Why does Windows shows multiple versions of Firefox installed?

I am running Firefox 11.0 on Windows 7 home premium 64 bit OS. Firefox seems to be working fine.
When I check the list of installed programs in the Windows control panel I see two versions of Firefox listed (11.0 and 10.0.2). Is this normal? Does the installer not remove older versions when it does an update? Is is safe for me to uninstall the older version?
By the way, same situation for Thunderbird. It shows both 10.0.2 and 9.0.1!

It sometimes happens that the updater doesn't remove the old entry in the installed programs section and thus shows multiple versions as installed. You usually only have the most recent version installed and will remove that version if you try to uninstall the older version because both point to the same installation folder. You can either remove that registry key yourself or use a registry cleaner.

Why does Verizon call me from unrecognized CA number - 949-286-3973?

It appears that you (Verizon) are calling my cell phone from an unidentified California number - 949-286-3973. From a brief search on the Internet, this seems to be what you are doing. PLEASE STOP DOING THIS!!! I understand it to be a survey about customer service but I do not answer scam calls (any number I don't recognize is a scam caller to me, especially a robo call that does not leave a message). This is the same complaint you know you have heard repeatedly from a lot of your customers but you have determined that you don't care and just keep on doing it. Every time it happens, we have to take the time to research it and figure it out, total bull and you are ******* customers off. Call them from a recognized number or do not call them at all.
This is just like the problem I called about a few weeks ago where you allow $3 to be charged by your company representatives (Verizon brick and mortar store) to process a CASH payment, how stupid is that? IT'S CASH!!! DAH! Dumbest thing I've ever heard, and yes it is your responsibility regardless or your insistence that they are franchised, you allow them to access your system to process the payments, that is totally on you and to say otherwise is just a lie.
Again, I and most customers consider these type of unrequested unrecognized calls a form of harassment. If you are trying to improve your processes and customer relations, you are going about it in completely the wrong way!

I got a call today from this number - since I use my phone as a business phone and do get calls from clients or potential clients that I do not have in my contact list (yet), I DO answer calls where I do not recognize the number.
I answered it, it was a survey, took about 3 minutes to punch in a few numbers, and then hang up. They probably won't call again unless I call customer service again, which was what triggered this call today.
You've done the research, take the survey and be done with it.
