I just installed Adobe Reader on my Macbook Air (followed all steps given) and still cannot read my .pdf files. Disappointed!

I just installed Adobe Reader on my Macbook Air (followed all steps given) and .pdf files still cannot be displayed after I double click on them.

If by that you mean Preview is still opening the files Control Click and HOLD on a .pdf file you'll see Open With (at the bottom) Other Dialogue box. - mouse over to it and before you choose Acrobat click Always Open With in the checkbox.

    Hey, I'm trying to install Adobe Flash on my Macbook Air. At a certain point it asks for my password but it doesn't take it. So I cannot continue installment. I have reset my password already. Still the same problem. How can I continue to install when it keeps asking for a password it doesn't recognize over and over again? How many times do I have to reset it then? Advice please

    You have to provide your computer's administrator password in order to install Flash Player.

  • Install Adobe Flash Player on MacBook Air

    I am trying to install Adobe Flash Player on MacBook Air and it stops at 98% stating that it needs to to close Safari browser, I close it and still it does not fully install it. 

    You need to close the Safari process, not only the browser window.
    If you don't know how to do that, restart your Mac, then run the downloaded installer before doing anything else.

  • New macbook air recognizes my external hard drive, but cannot read it

    I recently bought a new Macbook Air about 3 weeks ago and I'm trying to access files that I have on my external hard drive. The macbook recognizes that there is an external drive, but when I click on it, the finder window is empty and it shows that there are no files on the drive. When I plug it back into my old Macbook pro (purchased in 2007, running Lion 10.7.5 ) I can access all of my files just fine. Also, a little while ago, while the drive was connected to the new laptop it ejected itself and gave me the prompt saying that the disk had been ejected incorectly. I'm wondering if there is something wrong with the disk because I did have to run disk repair on it once since it bricked. Or is it not compatible with this new macbook? I don't really want to shell out more money to buy a new disk, are there any programs I can install or new USB cables I can try? the disk is a Seagate 500GB portable expansion drive.

    Hi Beth!
    1) You need to plug the phone in with your USB cable. If for some reason it doesn't sync automatically, try clicking on the name of your phone in your lefthand menu of iTunes, and it'll bring you to a homepage of sorts for your phone.
    2) From there, you should be able to click on "sync" at the bottom right of the page. Or you may have to go to the individual parts of your phone (where it says "music," "apps," etc. at the top of the page), and enable those to sync on each individual page.
    3) That should do it, but you can always go back to that homepage from step 1 and click "sync" or "apply" once more to be sure everything syncs over.
    If you've done this already, can you explain where you're seeing a red circle on your iPhone? Usually those red circles let you delete something if you click on them. For instance, if you want to delete an app, you hold your finger down on it for a moment and then the red circle appears so you can click again to delete.
    Hope this helps you!

    I tried to migrate information from MacBook Air to ...Pro and it seemed to have taken files from folders on desktop as none exist on Air now.  As to where these files are, I don't know.  It has also taken my pictures from iPhoto to unknown destination. ??

    If you used migration assistant then it probably created a new Login user and placed the migrated files under it.

  • Difficulty installing adobe flash player on macbook air os yosemite

    Hi.
    I recently bought a Macbook Air, which runs OS Yosemite, and I have tried to install Adobe Flash Player on it. I got to the part where it is installing, and then it says "Please close Safari". I did that, then clicked "Retry". It still said "Please close Safari". I waited a few minutes, and then clicked "Retry" again. Same result. Can anyone help me?

    Could you first try the steps outlined in this FAQ:
    How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X
    If that doesn't help, please try this installer:

  • Should I install Adobe Flash on my MacBook Air?

    Kind of afraid to install Adobe Flash on my new MacBook Air after the initial press regarding decreased battery life? Is there an optimized version for the Air? What are the Pros & Cons?

    The latest 10.3 version of Flash works OK.  Although it is less resource intensive you will still experience shortened battery life when watching Flash videos, but not as bad as older versions.  You will find it at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

  • Installing Adobe Photoshop Lightroom on Macbook Air without the CD-room

    I have recieved Adobe Photoshop Lightroom when I purchased my last camera, but the issue is that it is on a CD and I have a Macbook Air which does not have a CD-room.
    Are there any other ways of installing this on my computer without having to buy the CD-room-attachment from Apple? Is it possible to insert some sort of code, as with the Works-package for instance?

  • I have Adobe Acrobat installed and recently updated and just downloaded Adobe Reader, which is running, and still cannot open a PDF.

    Nothing happens. I get the same screen that tells me to download the computer.

    You'll need to right-click, download the pdf and use File>Open from within Reader. That combination is not supported any more. Chrome broke it.

  • Cant install adobe photoshop, computer wont recognise password. changed apple id password and still no success

    i cant install photoshop cs 10 as pomputer wont recognise my password. have reset my password but still no sucess.

    The password it is asking for is not your Apple ID password, more then likely.
    It is the password you use to Log on to your system. That may or may not be your Apple ID password. If you didn't use your Apple ID and the password for that ID when you first set the system up then it is not that password.
    If you have forgotten you Log On password you can reset it.

  • I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using  Windows 7

    I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
    In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
    Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
    I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
    I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

    You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
    You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
    This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
    You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.
