I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt or damaged. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

  • Since updating my imac 27" it will not let me open any of my programs and is saying to reinstall all, cant even get into safari. please help!!

    Since updating my Imac 27" 8 month old computer it will not let me open up any programs including safiri and iphoto. it is pretty much saying that i need to install all the program again, which i can not afford nor have the time too. can someone please help me be able to get it back to the way it was or help me to fix it so i can keep using it with this software update

    For starters, you could boot from the OS X install DVD that came with your iMac (insert the disk, reboot and hold down the "C" key after the bong). On that disk is Disk Utility; run that, choose the iMac's hard disk, and run Repair Disk. If errors are found and repaired, try running it again until it's deemed OK.
    If that doesn't help, try to get the OS 10.6.8 combo updater from Apple and run that. It will replace a lot of the Apple software that's already on your iMac and may refresh things so that they'll work.

  • Adobe reader on new MacBook Pro.  Will not open in my user acct. but will work in guest acct.

  • How do you open the downloads that have been saved? I can make it to the download list but it will not let me open any of them.

    When I open an email with an attachment, it downloads the attachment and saves it to my downloads. At a later time, I return to the download list and try to open it and it will not allow me to open them. How do I open my saved downloads?

    If the Open or Open Containing Folder entry in the right-click context menu of a file in the Download Manager is grayed then that means that the file is no longer in that original download location. It may have been removed by cleanup software or anti-virus software if you haven't deleted the files yourself.

    if you've used your adobe id to pay for a cc subscription, download the cc desktop app and install it, Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Free Adobe CC trial
    use the desktop app to install your subscribed programs.

  • After recent update to my macbook pro itunes will not open, it just bounces when I click on it

    fter recent update to my macbook pro itunes will not open, it just bounces when I click on it

    Means they are going to mess up your iPhoto Library pictures database  so it's unreadable by older versions of iPhoto on older OS X operating systems.
    You have the choice to right click on the iPhoto Lbrary and inside is a folder called Origianls, use the Finder to Duplicate this folder, then move the OriginalsCopy out of the iPhoto Library folder and save it elsewhere.
    I dont' think Apple will every intentionally touch the originals, however it's possible they could.

  • My IPOD and Macbook Pro both will not connect to the Itunes store through Itunes says no internet connection, but I can connect through safari and I have a internet connection

    As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
    I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
    I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

  • My MacBook Pro has Mac OSX 10.5.8 and will not let me update any further. Why?

    I have a MacBook Pro that I purchased in 2009 (It doesn't have a SD card slot, but is an aluminum body). Right now it's using Mac OS X 10.5.8 and will not let me update any further, which means that I cannot install any new versions of iTunes or some other programs. How can I fix this?

    You can't upgrade beyond 10.5.8, that is the final step for Leopard.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard (10.6.x) from Apple (but you should have 2G of Ram installed, and sufficient hard drive space). Your Mac is fully capable of running Snow Leopard and will probably already meet the specs I mentioned.

  • When I click on the button to download the new IOS software, I get a message saying that all the items on my iTouch will be removed.  Will I have to reload everything after updating the software?

    When I click on the button to download the new IOS software, I get a message saying that all the items on my iTouch will be removed.  Will I have to reload everything after updating the software?  Because I had to have my hard drive wiped a while back, I have items on my iTouch that are not in my iTunes.  Is there a way to copy everything on the iTouch into iTunes, if necessary, before I load the new software?

    It is possible to transfer purchases from your iPod back into iTunes before updating the OS. If you had any CDs from your personal collection, these you have to put back into iTunes manually. Hope this helps you & good luck!

  • Because in my macbook pro will not let me open The Sims 3?

    because in my macbook pro will not let me open The Sims 3?
    Whenever I try to open the application icon starts jumping and then disappears

    Says it works with 10.7, problems with 10.8 though.
    Reinstall the program and trash the Dock icon, then make a new one and see if that works.
    Then Trash it's preference file and relaunch the program to create a new one
    Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
    If not then run through this, could be a sign of something bigger

  • My macbook pro battery will not hold charge

    My macbook pro battery will not charge. The laptop will only turn on after it has been plugged in to charge, and when unplugged it automatically dies. When plugged in the battery indicator is green and the top right corner of the screen says "Not charging". I left town for a week with the laptop off and I came back in town and it won't charge. What can I do to fix this?

    If you are under warranty call Apple and get a case number.

  • I synced my new iPad with my new macbook and when I tried to then sync my iPhone as well it says that all apps will be replaced with apps in my library. How do I sync without losing all of my existing iPhone apps?

    I synced my new iPad with my new macbook and when I tried to then sync my iPhone as well it says that all apps will be replaced with apps in my library. How do I sync without losing all of my existing iPhone apps?

    My guess is that you previously synced the iPhone with a different computer in the past. You will probably want to set up Home Sharing.

  • HT3964 2009 macbook pro superdrive will not load discs

    2009 Macbook pro superdrive will not accept discs. The loading mechanism appears not to be responding. The mechanism may be jammed as it will not allow the disc to be fully inserted. Last time I played a disc I had trouble ejecting it. I managed to get disc out can't remember how. Think the disc must have partially ejected and I managed to pull it out. Can anyone help?

    Hi kayj128,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has steps for troubleshooting the SuperDrive built in to your Macbook Pro:
    Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2801
    Doesn't accept discs
    Be sure to check your disc to make sure it is flat. You can check this by putting the disc upside-down on a flat surface. If the disc is bowed up on any side or in the center, do not use the disc because it might get stuck in the drive. Do not use discs that have anything attached to them or dangling from them (such as "sweeper" or cleaning discs).
    If the drive struggles when you put in a disc or stops part-way, carefully look at the disc for labels that may be interfering. If there aren't any raised labels then try putting the disc in a few more times.
    Try another disc to see if the issue is being caused by a specific disc.
    Make sure you insert the disc far enough for the drive mechanism to activate. You need to insert discs nearly all the way before the drive will activate and pull them in. If you don't completely insert a disc, the drive will reverse and push the disc back out.
    Allow the drive one or two seconds to accept the disc while it is fully inserted.
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
    If the drive repeatedly does not accept discs, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

    Look at the power adapter connection on the MBP and make certain that it is clean and not discolored.
