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?

    Why does my air printer keep disappearing from my ipad

    reboot the router (and the printer). 
    If still happening, check your router settings.  Is it set so that the lease on the printer IP expires?
    The pad has to see the printer as active, and on the same wifi network as the pad.
    You might also want to see if there is a firmware update for the printer available.

  • Why might an entire project folder disappear from my CS3 program?

    Why might an entire project folder completely disappear from my CS3 program?  Being a rookie at this, any advice is appreciated.

    You can buy ready made external RAIDs.
    I am sorry, but I fail to see how this will help the OP with USB 2.0 externals.
    Now, for "the next time," it will work, but when one has a USB external, they have a single HDD USB 2.0 external. This is of no use with that equipment. That was my point.
    I recommend one with an eSATA connection.
    Or use internals.
    Again, a "next time" solution, albeit a good one. I do not argue that different thing could, and should, be done. I just fail to see how your suggestions would help the OP with the "here and now."
    Let's use the tried and true "automobile analoghy," that we are all quick to interject. The OP asks, "I had an accident with my MB S-500, and the grille was caved in. How do I fix it?" The answer, "next time, do not have the accident," does not address the issue. It is, of course, good advice, but does not help with the current problem. The "accident" has already happened. Yes, avoiding the next one is good advice, but is irrevelent in the "here and now."
    Sorry, but I would not give you points on this one, were it my post.

  • Why did my Acrobat application suddenly disappear from my computer?

    All of a sudden my Acrobat application disappeared from my computer.  Any inkling as to why this might happen?  Now I can't download any PDFs. 

    You say that you have the activation code. Are you sure? Did you register Lightroom with Adobe? If you did you can always retrieve the code from your account. What do you mean when you say that you "plug it in" and it won't let you continue? What operating system are you using?

  • 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 Apple TV keep disappearing from Itunes?

    Now this is frustrating. Recently, after months with no problem, my Apple TV is not appearing in my list of devices in itunes. I have switched it off, restarted the Mac etc. Then I reset the Apple TV, hey presto, it was back, until I reloaded the latest software update, when it disappeared again. Any clues as to why this is happening? I must point out that I have recently added Windows Vista to the Imac, but would not expect that to affect the Apple TV, but what do I know?

  • Why do my downloaded books keep disappearing from i book on my iPad 2?, why do my downloaded books keep disappearing from i book on my iPad 2?

    why can i not finish a book i've downloaded to my iPad 2?  i started reading a book on ibooks yesterday and bookmarked my place.  now today it wouldn't open it and said it could not connect to itunes (which is wrong i can open itunes).  then all of the books on ibooks disappeared (just empty bars like it is trying to download).  why they were all there yesterday and working fine.  i've had this problem for a couple of weeks now.  i just downloaded the new updates for iPad yesterday but obviously it did not fix my problem.  why does this keep happening and how can this be fixed so i can read a book without wondering if it will still be there when i get back to it?  help! please!

    I personally think the disappearing files are caused by flaky/slow internet connection.
    I always make sure files are uploaded to the cloud before I close the app.

  • Why do the align controls keep disappearing from the Options Bar?

    This is very annoying. The align controls periodically disappear, and only reappear after mousing over them. This is in InDesign CS4. I've never seen this happen in any previous version of InDesign, or in any other Adobe application. Here's a video.

    I've often experienced this sort of behaviour in CS3 on WinXP. It happens when I've been working on the same file for a long time, and it seems to indicate that I'm running out of memory (particularly VM?). Minimize/maximize gives temporary respite, Save As a bit longer, but eventually I have to close down ID and restart. I usually reboot at the same time just to make sure. Then I'm good to go for another few hours.

  • Why does my menu bar keep disappearing from the top of my browser?

    Every day I have to right click to add the menu bar to the top of the page (File...Edit...View...Bookmarks,etc.)
    this is very annoying.

    Does it disappear while you are using the browser, or when
    you start Firefox?
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Why does my airplay icon keep disappearing from my ipad?

    Airplay icon is very unstable. I have tried all suggested remedies. Restarting router makes it appear but then it goes off again after a short time. Sick of resetting router - everything else works fine - this happens simultaneously on both our iPads. Any help appreciated.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Mac Mini keeps disappearing from network

    I have a 2009 Mac Mini running 10.9.1 that is serving as a media center computer. Plex Media Server is on this machine along with my collection of movies and TV shows. I frequently access this machine using Plex clients, both on Mac and Roku, and also via file sharing and screen sharing on other macs. I almost always manage this machine through screen sharing, which makes this problem extremely frustrating.
    Basically this mac keeps disappearing from my network. I can see it under "Shared" in finder on another computer, but when I click on it it hangs on "connecting" for a while and then just disappears. Same thing when trying to access via the Plex client on Roku. Sometimes I try to play something and it tells me to make sure my server is connected and running, and sometimes it doesn't even see my Plex media server at all.
    I have screen sharing and file sharing enabled, and the firewall is set up to allow incoming connections for screen sharing, file sharing, and also Plex and all its helper programs. I don't think any of these should be the issue because I can access the mini with no problems SOME of the time just not all the time. Seems like if I haven't connected for some unknown amount of time this problem crops up. When it doesn't work I have to trot down to the basement, turn on the monitor (100" projection screen, so kind of annoying) and restart the computer. I have tried toggling "Put hard disks to sleep when possible," and that didn't seem to have any effect. I also have the energy saver set to wake for network access.
    I do not recall having this problem as often, if ever, before I upgraded to Mavericks. Not sure if that could be part of the issue. One other quirk since upgrading to Mavericks is that upon every restart I am asked if I want to allow incoming connections for Plex and Connect 360, both of which are listed in the firewall preferences ad allowed programs.
    Can anybody help?

    See if it's related to this...
    It also seems to be related to later OSX versions, like 10.8.x & 10.9.x
    The 2012 macs (and later apparently) (also later OSX versions on earlier Macs can do it also), not waking normally from sleep after hours being in sleep. (noted here ...
