Flash Download File will not open - Multiple tries

Hello Folks,
I've searched this site high and low and haven't found a solution to my problem.
Trying to Download the newest version of Flash. My Vista(64bit) system shows it as a "File" that's 2,089KB in the downloads list.
If I click on the file as if to load/run it there is a prompt asking if I want to open this file type shows
Name: "install_flashplayer11x32ax_gtbp_chra_aih_exe" Publisher:"Adobe Sysytems Incorporated" Type:"unknown file type" in the message/prompt
When I click the Open Tab it directs to the Windows "Open With" screen asking which program I'd like to open the file with. Initially it showed Adobe Reader 9. something-or-other and when using it it would give an error that the file wasn't supported so I uninstalled all Adobe programs with the intention of trying to do a clean install of all my Adobe products. I'm getting stumped though on how to fix this. Youtube is broken and boredom and frusteration are creeping in.
Please help!
As I've said before, I've tried all the searches I can think of but haven't found the solution I need. Maybe I'm missing it but I've verified scripts are enabled in Explorer and tried searching the c:\Windows\sysWOW64 and there wasn't anything there - empty...
Thanks!
Jordan

That is very strange; it should be a period before the exe file type: install_flashplayer11x32ax_gtbp_chra_aih.exe
Anyway, I suggest that you download and run the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header (under the heading Progess bar hangs...).

Fill & sign PDF, downloaded file, will not open in Reader

I have downloaded Fill & Sign Form as a PDF file on my computer. It is there with data; but can not open in Reader. All I get is a blank page.

Hi;
Please download the Free Adobe Reader and open in Adobe Reader. We are aware of the issue with Microsoft Reader not displaying the page and will address it but for now it will display and print fine using Adobe Reader.
Thanks,
Josh

Pdf files will not open upon downloading

I download a lot of pdf docs for work and want them to open automatically upon download so I can screen them. Since upgrading to Safari 5.1, when I download files (which has gotten much more cumbersome) they do not automatically open upon download. Yes, I DO have the "open safe files after downloading" option checked in Preferences. Any other thoughts? A solution would be most helpful. (If anyone has a solution to how I can automatically download files as easily as in prior versions, that would be greatly appreciated also.)

Doesn't make much sense to me. Methinks details are needed.

I have just purchased a Canon 7d Mk2 but the raw files will not open in Cs5 and downloads of Adobe Camera Raw 8.7 will not install. What can I do?

Alternatively, install & use RawTherapee instead to develop your raw files instead (free and open source).

PDF files will not open or download on my mac book pro

pdf files will not open or download on my mac book pro, cannot read bank statements etc. Any solutions would be grear

Did you try using a different browser?

Only one epub file will not open in ADE or on my Nook. The others I downloaded will open on both and will copy to the Nook as usual.

I download epub books from Overdrive. Only one epub file will not open in ADE on my Mac or on my Nook. The many others I've downloaded will open on both and will copy to the Nook as usual. Using the latest edition of ADE. Could be a corrupted ePub file? Curiously, this is the second time I've downloaded this epub from the same site, and I had no problem the first time. It still has 9 days remaining in the borrowing period.

Forgot to make clear that on both my Mac and the Nook, attempting to open the epub causes ADE to crash.

.mov file will not open in FCP X?! codec unavailable? help!

I am trying to edit a short .mov file in FCP X. It was sent to me via YouSendIt. Once it has completed downloading, a message reads:
" The document “S-T3RRA Video Heads by FLOOD(1)-2.mov” could not be opened. A required codec isn't available. To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More. "
When I click tell me more, Apple provides me with some additional media support for QuickTime, however I should not need this for a .mov file correct? The file will not open in FCP X or QT. Any ideas? Suggestions? Was this file incorrectly exported by the creator?
Help!!
Thank you!

Yes, it will be encoded using a codec that's not on your system.
That is a common misunderstanding with .mov - it's not a format, it's a container.
It basically contains video & audio streams that may be mp4, mjpeg or just about anything.
In this case, the "anything" is what we need to find out, so we can work out what you need to read it.
You could try opening it using VideoSpec - it will tell you everything.

.PDF files will not open without saving first

Since downloading Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on 5/20/14 .pdf files will not open without saving them first. I want .pdf files to open first BEFORE I save them (using Windows 7 and Firefox 30.0)

Pdf files will not open

Hi,
I have viewed through this forum and did not find a problem with similar symptoms.
I upgraded from Adobe Reader 8 to Reader 9 and then the .pdf files will not open.
Actions and Observations/Symptoms:
1) After I clicked onto the pdf document icon - nothing happens.
2) I right click onto the pdf icon and chose "open with Adobe 9" and get the same response. Nothing happens.
3) I go to the the start menu - select Adobe Reader 9 - and the program does not even open.
=======
I have since removed Reader 9 and re-installed Reader 8. I tried the above actions and got the same behaviour. Not a whole lot happens. It seems like something is broken after the first initial upgrade.
In fact - I went to the folder:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader and
tried to open Reader by double clicking onto "AcroRd32.exe" and there was no response.
I'm completely lost! Can anyone share a fix to my problem?
Thanks,
Mike

I can't explain the cause to the problem - but I found two "work-arounds" to get me running again.
Workaround #1:
I found another program (and there are many) on the web that will also read .pdf files. I downloaded "Foxit Reader" , installed it and it works. I can now view my pdf docs!
However - I got so used to Adobe Reader - I really wanted to get Reader working again.
Workaround #2:
I re-installed Adobe Reader 8.
Instead of running the usual Adobe installation script that I got from the web, I copied (from another PC's C-drive) the "Reader 8.0" folder and all its contents into my current C- drive directory structure C:\Program Files\Adobe\.
I re-booted the PC and can now open my pdf files using Reader 8.
It seems to work - but I don't know what the effects of this installation method will have in the future - or the interaction it will have with other programs. I guess when I need to remove the program in the future - I'll have to do it manually, since it doesn't even register in the "Add or Remove Programs" under Control Panel.
===============
Hope this helps out anyone else with similar symptoms.
In the original problem, it's unfortunate that there were no error messages whatsoever when I tried opening the pdf files. It was like as if Reader was not even activated or even loaded on my PC. I'll bug me for a while - but at least I got Reader working again (for now....)!

Some Canon CR2 RAW Files Will Not Open In Elements 8

I use a Canon 7D DSLR. Up until 30 minutes ago I never had a problem opening Canon CR2 RAW files in Photoshop Elements 8.
Some files still open others do not. I can think of only one thing. I was shooting a large number of frames and reduced the RAW Image size down from RAW Large Only to RAW Medium with Small Jpeg to give me more room on the Compact Flash Card.
The Large RAW only CR2 files open fine in PSE 8, the Jpegs open fine, but the smaller sized CR2 files will not open and I get a wrong file type message in PSE8.
Any ideas why this would happen? I suspect it is a function of the camera setting, but all RAW files download as CR2 files.
I appreciate any guidance in this matter. Needless to say I am resetting my camera back to Large RAW files only.
Alex

ACR 5.x only supported full-sized 7D RAWs, but ACR 6.x supports 7D mRAW and sRAW, so just update to the latest version of the plugin, following the PSE-specific instructions:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
sRAW and mRAW files are not RAWs because the camera has already demosaicked them to RGB and encoded them as lossless JPG.
Here is technical information on the reduce-sized RAWs:

Downloaded apps will not open

My downloaded apps will not open. I can open apps that came loaded from the factory, but when I attempt to open a downloaded app, the screen momentarily goes black and then returns to the homepage/wallpapered screen.
I've tried powering off, etc.
How do I resolve this issue?

If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window

PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window, OS 10.8.5. Version 11.0.04 Adobe Reader and Plug-ins installed. Both local and internet files do not load. What is happening here?

Ok. I reloaded v 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader after quiting Safari 6.0.5 . Then deleted the 2 plug-ins AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin . Relaunched Safari and tried to read a pdf from a repository at the URL mentioned in post 10 . The file was loaded and displayed correctly. Also a pdf file from my local disk store displayed nicely as well. What I do not understand is that there is no listing of an Adobe plug in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins , nor does Safari list any Adobe plug ins. So in that case this means that plug-ins for the display of pdfs in Safari windows are no longer needed!
Adobe Reader version 11.0.04 is now working for me.
Thanks for the help and the solution C.F.McBlob

Bridge cc will not open after trying to add patch aom package (adobe output module) to workspace

bridge cc will not open after trying to add patch aom package (adobe output module) to workspace. this patch was recommended by adobe help to allow creating pdf presentations. the help stated bridge cc was shipped without this and to download aom package win 64. I tried that, and either did something wrong or? I deleted bridge cc 64 bit, then went to cc and downloaded bridge cc (not sure if it is 32 or 64) and the program still does not open. any ideas?

There are lots of threads on this. Do a web search.
