Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Have installed maverick and now can't open any new pdf files from internet. I can open old ones

    I have just installed Maverick. When I use Safari and try and open a Pdf file from a webpage I get a black screen and tells me to download Adobe. I have reinstalled adobe reader but still don't get anywhere. I can open any pdf files I have previously stored or have in downloads or in documents. Any one any ideas what i need to do?

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Is there any succesful answer to the many questions about not functioning wifi after installing mountain lion? Also when awakes after sleep MB frezees, wifi can´t get active, dock does not show, in general MB does´t respond. All this in mountain lion.

    When awakes after sleep MB frezees, wifi can´t get active, dock does not show, in general MB does´t respond. All this after I installed an update of mountain lion.

    Try starting up in Safe Mode and see if things are better.

  • Forgot answers to 2 security questions but it sends the reset variation email to an email that is no longer existent. I have added in a new secondary email and the rescue email does not even show up anywhere. I have no idea what to do please help

    ok so I went to buy a an album on iTunes that I havnt used on the device before. It said I needed to do clarification questions but I cannot remember the answers to them. When I go to reset the questions it sends to an email that is now non existant. It wont let me change it what so ever, I cannot find it anywhere to delete or change. Please help

    You will need to call Apple and ask for Account Security, and will need to provide documentation in order to prove your identity. Use the Contact Us links at the bottom of every page of this forum for phone numbers. Best of luck.

  • Mac OS X cannot open pdf files from online sites.

    Mac OS X cannot open pdf files from online sites.

    The problem is definitely between my safari and Adobe.
    I can open documents in emails. But not something like this.

  • I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how  to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard?

    Hello,
    I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how  to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard? I tried to do it by my original CDs but macbook  pro didn't let me to do it.
    Thanks

    It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
    I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

  • Mac pro loud hum since installing mountain lion

  • Cannot send mail since installing mountain lion

    I'm using aol mail.  I receive mail with no problems. Since installing Mountain Lion on my new Mac when I try to send mail I get a message that I can't send using aol server.  Mail settup indicates everything is working fine. I have no problems sending mail with a Macbook Pro and a PC on the same wireless network.

    This seemed to work for me: First be sure all your mail is stored on the server (eg AOL) or you may lose it. If it is NOT stoerd on the server, DON'T DO THIS
    In Mail Preferences / accounts, use the -(minus) sign to delete All of your accounts one by one
    Now use the + to add account, and reinstall all of your accounts one by one.
    It does seem to work and mail is now sent

  • Replicable crash since installing Mountain Lion

    I seem to be having a near fatal crash since upgrading my Late 2008 Macbook Pro to Mountain Lion. When I pause and unpause a Youtube video everything freezes and the logout text screen (the verbose mode text that you see when the system is logging out) is overlayed onto the Safari 6.0 browser and then the computer restarts itself! This has never occured in my entire life of owning an Apple computer (since the early 1980s) and now it happens about 50% of the time since installing Mountain Lion.
    Initially I did an upgrade from Lion as I have upgrade all of my Macs since the beginning of OS X, but after the first crash, I did a completely clean install (wiped and reformatted the hardrvie which is less than one year old) and reinstalled Mountain Lion from a USB key backup that I made. Problem still occurs.
    Any help is greatly appreciated as this is quite worrysome! Below is the error log I received upon restart:

    Library is a folder, not a file. There're more than one Library folders, one at the root and one for each user in your Mac. All of them are hidden, this is why you can't find them. But you can see their contents using
    Finder Menu > Go > Go to Folder
    And then type:
    ~/Library
    for your Library Folder
    -or-
    /Library
    for the root Library folder.

  • Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.

    Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.
    i can select the picture but when sending it, an error symbol appears.
    Any ideas ?

    This doesn't work for me at all. I tried entering exactly the same information that I used to set up my regular email account and I'm still getting an error message. I even tried switching to using my gmail account and neither one worked. Then it got hung up and had to repair my database! I have a lot of photos on my Mac (thank goodness they're backed up) and I was really sweating it for a moment.
    Apple is so easy until it's not. I find this to be really aggrevating and I'm irritated that it hasn't been fixed. In fact I did an online search and someone described this same problem in detail and it was exactly what was happening to me. Same error messages.
    I'm frustrated that Apple keeps updating it's operating system and then we go through these glitches.
    And while I'm at it, I have never had such a frustrating time using my login information as I have to get into this forum! Why do they make it so difficult? There's just something about the way it's worded that get's me messed up every time. Meanwhile, at least get iPhoto fixed!

  • Can i install mountain lion on my macbook 2006, 2ghz intel core 2 duo, 2gb ram?

    hi , is it possible to install mountain lion on my macbook from 2006, 2ghz intel core 2 duo and 2 gb ram
    in the moment i use 10.6.8 and i want to update for installing iwork09, wich requiered 10.7 or more. i need the new iwork, cause my old pages and numbers dont work together with the iwork on my ipad4.
    ok, thank you, nice greetings

    10.7 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.  The price is $19.99.
    You must have at least a Late 2006 Core 2 Duo model 2,1 MacBook.
    Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • I install Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro and freezing after waking up and is impossible restart

    I install mountain lion on my macbook pro late 2009 and freezing after waking up and is impossible restart

    Restart your mac in Safe Mode by holding down the 'shift' key while it powers up. You'll know if you've entered Safe Mode correctly if you see a progress bar underneath the grey Apple logo screen. Let go of the shift key when you see that, wait for the progess bar to complete then log in.
    After log in, go to
     > System Preferences... Users & Groups and remove everything from the 'Login Items' tab.
    If you have any anti-virus software installed (Sophos, F-Secure, VirusBarrier, Mackeeper) uninstall it while in Safe Mode.
    Restart your mac normally and test.
    Any improvement?

  • HT4463 I Can't Install Mountain Lion On My Macbook

    I Can't Install Mountain Lion On My Macbook White 10.6.8 (Late 2010) . It Goes Throught The Process, And Once It's Downloaded, It Doesn't Say To Restart. I Restart It On My Own And It Still Boots Up To Snow Leopard. I Tried Downloaded It Over And Over Again Five Times, And It Does The Same Thing. Does Any1 Have Any Insight On This Issue?

    As a rule the Mac App Store won;t let you buy and download Mountain Lion if your hardware doesn't support it, so the first question is did you get ML from the MAS?
    If so then what procedure are you following to install the OS? You wrote that
    Once It's Downloaded, It Doesn't Say To Restart.
    but downloading is only part of the installation process, what exactly is happening on the system?

  • I recently attempted to re-install Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro late 2012 model and the internet recovery is failing.

    I recently attempted to re-install Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro late 2012 model and the internet recovery is failing. I have absolutely no clue what to do here. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    - Currently if I boot it up there is a flashing folder icon with a question mark in it. I am assuming this means there is no OS because I wiped the SSD and tried to reinstall Mountain Lion
    - When I hold Command+R, it prompts me to Choose Network... the problem with this is the wifi constantly is disconnecting. The Retina 2012 does not have an ethernet port so i have considered buying the attachment then returning when done.
    Once again Thank you in advance.
    Best.

    There is nothing to do if you don't have a reliable Internet connection unless you have a copy of the Mountain Lion installer application from when you first installed it.
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
