Adobe Reader/MAC will not quit. It says it is printing and is not. There is no "Force Quit" option.

Adobe reader for MAC is locked up. It thinks it is trying to print but nothing is happening. There is no force quit option as with other MAC programs. I cannot restart the computer because Adobe won't quit. I tried moving it to trash and it won't. I tried installing again but installation wants me to quit the currently installed program. I have tried to turn off the computer, but adobe is still locked when I turn it back on. Any ideas how to get around this problem?

Try a DVD Movie, YouTube Video, an Application or Game with sound?
Go to System Preferences > Sound Effects and try selecting some different "alert sounds?
If it is only while using iTunes, check your iTunes volume slider?
If it is system wide, run the Extended Apple Hardware Test to see if it finds a problem with your sound card?

  • Safari is trying to "print" and it won't let me force quit or force restart

    I tried to print something yesterday, but it keeps trying to reload the page and goes to the printer page which doesn't allow me to regularly "quit" the program.
    Here is what I've tried:
    -Opening Force Quite indirectly...does not allow because it thinks it's trying to print
    -Restarting the computer...does not allow for same reason as above
    -Force Quitting the computer (holding the power button)...it says the computer is already restarting because I tried above first.
    I can't open any other window in Safari either as the one with the print window takes precedence over the others.
    Thank you!

    Thank you Linc!
    Right before I got your response, I tried exiting out when the computer was offline, and it allowed me to take it off.
    Thanks again for your answer...have a good day!

  • Adobe Reader 8 will not open any pdf files.

    I have a Mac OS X G5. I have Adobe Reader 8 installed. I cannot open any pdf files. It has never worked since installing it. I tried going to File> Open with> Adobe Reader> I get an error that says: the file could not be opened because the file is either not supported or it has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly coded). This error occurs no matter where I get the file; email or web page.
    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    I did get around this problem by trashing Reader 8 and confirming that I still had Reader 7.05 installed
    This tip in the MacWorld forum worked for me:

    Now I can open pdf files from the internet or email, in Reader 7.05.

    Hello Ray,
    Please try following steps:
    1. Run the installed Adobe Reader X.
    2. Click on Edit in the menu bar.
    3. Then click on Preferences in the drop down menu list.
    4. Click on the Internet category on the left pane.
    5. Now, make sure that Display PDF in Browser option is checked.
    If above steps doesn't work then let me know which Browser you are using, may be we have to do some settings there.

  • Adobe Reader XI will not give me any options to sign my documents

    Adobe Reader XI will not give me any options to sign my documents

    Are you in a company/enterprise where the installer was customized?  If yes, then your administrator may have disabled the Sign panel feature on the right hand side, however, signing a document should still be available in the Digital Signatures Pane on the left side via  a pop-up menu.

  • Adobe reader x will not let me save pdfs

    i am a student so i need to save a lot of pdfs from databases like jstor. for some reason, adobe reader x will only allow me to save 1 pdf, after which if i click the save button on the next pdf i open nothing will happen. after a seemingly random period of time i am then able to save another pdf. this is terribly annoying, i need a fix. anyone know whats going on here?
    after fiddling around a little bit, i find that if i "reset toolbars" it lets me save consecutively. this is still very annoying.

    I have spent two days at ti, but have finally resolved it myself. I deleted my Adobe Reader and installed an older version, and the problem disappeared. By the way, I also tried AR11, but the probelm was there too.

  • I have a user on Adobe Reader X.  whenever they open a .pdf file, the form fields do not auto-fill u

    I have a user on Adobe Reader X.  whenever they open a .pdf file, the form fields do not auto-fill until you click in the box.  Is there a setting that can be changed to make the form open properly?

    Sounds like the form fields were filled in on a Mac using Mac Preview. This cannot be fixed in Reader only Acrobat. Ask the person who filled in the form to redo their work in Adobe Reader.

  • Is there a menu option in basic Adobe Reader than will enable me to check if a PDF is set in RGB or CMYK?

    Is there a menu option in basic Adobe Reader than will enable me to check if a PDF is set in RGB or CMYK?

    No. Acrobat Pro's preflight is the tool for checking this sort of thing but you should be aware that it isn't a simple RGB versus CMYK. A file can contain any mixture of either, as well as other colour spaces (greyscale, Lab, spot colour). So in preflight you are looking to be told not "is this file CMYK" but "does this file contain any non-CMYK elements". Preflight can also check other prepress needs like a minimum resolution.

  • Adobe Reader Mac 9 can't save filled-in forms?

    It appears that Adobe Reader Mac version 9.0.0 can no longer save filled-in forms. Using Reader Mac 8, I could save my last year's IRS Form 1040 PDF with all the fields filled in. Now, when I open the 2007 IRS 1040 PDF downloaded from their website today, I get a message:
    "This document enables Reader capabilities that are no longer enabled in this Reader version."
    I get the same message when I open my 1040 PDF that I saved with fields filled in earlier this year with Reader Mac 8. That PDF still contains my filled-in values, but I can't save any changes.
    Has Adobe disabled saving filled-in forms in Reader Mac 9? If so, was it by accident or on purpose? If on purpose, why?

    My phone will not charge it says this cable or accessory is not certified an may not work reliably with this phone? What do I do?

    Is the cable the one that came with your Apple device? Is it a replacement cable that you purchased? If it is, did you purchase an Apple certified cable?
