This User Profile Application's connection is currently not available. The Application pool or user profile service may not have been started

Hi, we had installed SharePoint Service Pack 1 (SP1). And now the user profile service application is not available. Getting this
Error "This User Profile Application’s connection is currently not available. The Application pool or user profile service may not have been started".
How to troubleshoot the issue anh help/thoughts will be appreciated

Not sure, if this will help, but in my case all of my services were up and running (including app pools) and also IISRESET did not help. So at that point, looking at the error message, I assumed that there is something wrong with the app pool (or app pool
credentials) and went to CA --> Application Management --> Manage Service Applications and selected UPSA and under properties just created a new app pool to run under farm account (did not want to take any chances).
As soon as the new app pool was provisioned, the service came back.

The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available. The Application Pool or Managed Metadata Web Service may not have been started. Please Contact your Administrator.

Hi,
I'm not able to access the term store. I get an below mentioned error.
"The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available. The Application Pool or Managed Metadata Web Service may not have been started. Please Contact your Administrator. "
Since this is happening on my local machine (Dev environment). I have full control on the term store and the all the site collections.
Hence, this is not a permission issue.
I have checked, the Metadata service is active on the machine. All the application pools in IIS is running.
After reading one of the recommendation on internet, I created a new Managed Metadata Service.
After which I was able access both (old and new) MMS from Central Admin only (highlight the MMS from manage service applications and click Manage ) and not from the site collection (term store management).
Now again its not working after I did an IISRESET.
The managed metadata service (Managed Metadata Service Connection) is grayed out.
ULS Error says:

Hi Victoria,
Thanks for your reply
I tried making all the changes you had recommended and which are mentioned in the link you have provided.
I tried making all possible combination of changes to the web.config and client.config files but it does not make any difference to the environment.
One thing is that, my error in ULS logs has changed.

Everytime I use firefox to connect to the internet I get an alert saying that firefox could not initialize the applications security component. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

When I use firefox to get on to the web I get the following message everytime: "Alert: Could not initialize the applications security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your applications pforfile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security feactures." Once I click the "OK button" at the bottom of the alert box firefox starts but does not act right. For instance it will not let me look for software updates. When I click on "Check for Updates" from the "Help" drop down menu I get a message stating: "There were problems checking for, downloading, or installing this update. Firefox could not be updated because: Update XML file malformed (200). You can update firefox manually by visiting this link and downloading the latest version."

Firefox Error with Roaming Profiles "Could not initialize the application's security component"

Hi there
I get the common error "Could not initialize the application's security component" when I startup Firefox.
I tried this manual: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/couldnt-initialize-applications-security-component
I have enough space left, i have read/edit/write-rights, created a new firefox profile and also reset all the settings, nothing works.
BUT I dont have a cert8.db File in my %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
What can I do?
Like I said in my description, its about Users that are logged in with a Roaming-Profile. Every User has this problems, it doesn't matter if or without Admin-Rights.
Also this problem exists since Firefox 4.0.0, the last working Version was 3.6.13 I guess.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
Try to remove or rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) in the Firefox profile folder.
If that didn't help then also rename the cert8.db file to cert8.db.old or delete the cert8.db file to remove intermediate certificates that Firefox has stored.
If that helped to solve the problem then you can remove the renamed cert8.db.old file.<br />
Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the cert8.db.old file to cert8.db to restore the previous intermediate certificates.<br />
Firefox will automatically store intermediate certificates when you visit websites that send such a certificate.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 25: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Could not initialize the application's security ... Tried renaming cert8.db and secmod.db. Profile has r/w access. Still get message. Can only run as admin

Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features.
Above error messa4bite occurs whenever I star Firefox without admin priv. Checked the profile directory listed in troubleshoot info -- has r/w access for system, admin and self Tried renaming cert8 and secmod as suggested in one forum response. Problem persists.\
My computer runs Win 7 Home Premium 64bit

If deleting or otherwise removing the cert8.db and secmod.db file doesn't help then try a new profile.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Could+not+initialize+the+browser+security+component
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

"Could not initialize the application's security component" already erased mozilla directory containing profiles and the other in x86, problem persists!

This has just happened. But I have erased the mozilla directories containing the profiles and as well the both mozilla directories in program files x86. Yet when Firefoz is reinstalled, problem recurs.
Receive again the message "Could not initialize the application security component."
Have looked at the fixes available. Those appear not to work.
Anyone else with ideas? Maybe some hidden files that I can search for on my computer, and erase?
I'm suspecting I need really a thorough erase of anything connected with Firefox, to solve this issues. Thought though I had found everything.
Not relishing the prospect of erasing the hard-disc to fix this, though that has 100% probability of working.
My computer is running Wista 64.

Rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) in the Firefox Profile Folder in case there is a problem with the file.
Firefox will create new files.

When I open the application the following alert appears: "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory." There is a solution on the support site but only for Windows-based Firefox, and I'm a Mac user. I have plenty of room on my hard disk.

In Mac OS X v10.7, the $HOME/Library folder is a hidden folder.
Open Finder and use one of these:
* Go > Go To Folder (Shift-Command-G) and in the dialog type: ~/Library
* Open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to make the Library appear
You can also use this command in a Terminal window to remove the hidden flag.
* Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Terminal
* chflags nohidden ~/Library

"Could not find the application that created this file" error when trying to combine files

I am working with a user that is trying to combine a pdf & word doc (docx). When they try to combine the files she gets the error: "Could not find the application that created this file" & "Please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer". The computer is running windows XP, with office 2010 SP1, & Adobe Acrobat Pro X.
Per previous suggestions, I have already checked to see if Adobe PDFMaker is enabled as a Word plugin, and it is.
Recentley the user was running Acrobat 6, and this error did not occur. It is only after upgrading to Acrobat X that this is happening. Any help with this issue would be appreciated.

This can also be caused if the files are in a folder deep in the file system. For example C:/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy/zzzzzzz/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb /cccccccccccccccccccc/dddddddddddddddd/eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee/ffffffff/ggggggg/hhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhh/myPDF.pdf
At some point Adobe PDFMaker cannot handle the path length (also, Windows can't handle the path length either eventually)
Solution: move the files to a shorther path (perhaps the desktop) and try from there.
I am filing a bug report with Adobe. A descriptive exception message should be thrown instead of "could not file the app.."

New WIN7 System, FFox gives error "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory" - will not go to any site.

New Windows 7 computer. After installing Firefox, every time I bring it up I get the following message:

If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features."
Then Firefox comes up, but will not function at all - can enter url address, but will not respond to ANY clicks, so can not go to any site.

This link shows how to fix this - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Could+not+initialize+the+browser+security+component

Why do I get an alert saying "Could not initialise the application's security component. The most probable cause is problems with files in your browser's profile directory. How can I solve it??

The full alert is " Could not initialise the application's security component. The most probable cause is problems with files in your browser's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard drive is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the browser and fix the problem. If you continue to use this browser session, you might see incorrect browser behaviour when accessing security features."
This is just started three/four days ago. I need assistance quickly as I can't access any secure sites e.g bank accounts/homepage etc.

Could Not Find The Application That Created This File

Hello Community,
I have already been to the Acrobat forum with this post and they re-directed me to this forum.
My problem seems to be with a InDesign file that will not export to a PDF, nor can I create the PDF from within Acrobat itself. BTW I have Acrobat 8.1.6 on a Vista OS.
Here is what I've done thus far:
restarted my computer, which didn't correct anything
printed the InDesign file to the PDF printer unsuccessfully
Checked for InDesign and Acrobat updates and found I'm current with the updates
Please NOTE: I have no problem with creating a PDF with either a Word or Illustrator file; it's the InDesign file that's giving me a problem. The message I get when I try to export from within InDesign to a PDF file is "Could not find the application that created this file; please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer."
Please help. Thank you very much.

Hi John,
Before replying to you, I decided to give it another go. This time out, I
was finally able to export the InDesign file, which I created, to a PDF.
Hooray!
I have found, in the past, that restarting my computer will clear something
in my system, and then I can create the PDF. Sometimes this inability to
create a PDF happens in Word. But this time around it was InDesign that was
the problem file.
Maybe it has something to do with the preferences menu. I'll have to check
this out. Otherwise, all is fine. Thanks for answering.--Pat
