Why my safari browser is not opening pdf files?I'm currently using the lat 2013 macbook pro with os mavericks and all my software is uptodate? 

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences 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. Otherwise do as follows.
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 (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, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
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.

    Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

  • Why does my Acrobat IX not open PDF files created with my Adobe CreatePDF application?

    My Acrobat IX will not open PDF files that I create with my Adobe CreatePDF application

    Thanks for answering ... Long answer sorry ... recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7.  With XP I could create PDFs with/for any document I created ... I think the XP App was Acrobate Complete as well as I could print directly to a PDF file. In any case, I was always able to creat PDFs.  Since upgrading to Windows 7, I lost my ability to create PDF files by conversion or by printing directly to PDF format. Therefore, I purchased the Adobe CreatePDF application from Adobe for about $100.  However all Adobe CreatePDF files have a different screen icon and my Acrobate XI supplied with my new Windows 7 intsall does nor recognize the Adobe CreatePDF created files. I am guessing but I suspect the Adobe CreatePDF app is creating Postscript print files and not Windows compatible print files.  I would like to tell Adobe about this Bug or failure, but it seems I am unable to contact Adobe directly and talk/chat with a human. 

  • After installing Firefox 3.6.10. My browser is not displaying PDF files. I am using Foxit Reader 4.02

    I reinstall my windows XP recently. I install Firefox 3.6.10 and Foxit Reader 4.02. But, now PDF files cannot be displayed within the browser. Earlier i used the same combination and it was working fine.

    Hello,
    i think firefox does not have a native pdf reader.
    But some plugins allow you to view these documents. For instance, Adobe created one, you can find it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/browse/type:7

  • Can I use my late 2013 Macbook pro as a display for my xbox one. I am currently sick with the flu and I do not have a tv in my room. Is there anyway to use the hdmi port on my mac and connect it to the xbox one?

    I am currently sick with the flu and in my room I dont have a tv. I tried plugging my xbox one's hdmi into the hdmi port on my macbook pro late 2013 retina display. I even tried connecting the hdmi cable to a hdmi mini display mort converter and that didnt work. How can I use my Macbook as a monitor to play game on

    I would guess that the HDMI port on your mac is for output only - no input, and that's what your'e attempting to do when you attach the mac to your xbox. I looked in Mactracker and it lists the HDMI port as video output for both the 13" Retina MacBook Pro and the 15" Retina MacBook Pro (your post didn't say which one you have), so looks like that is the issue..

  • Safari not opening PDF files

    I had Acrobat Pro on Windows laptop.  Last weekend switched to MacBook Pro and upgraded to Acrobat X with help from Adobe Tech Personnel (and $215).  Now, I can open and create PDFs from Acrobat, but my Safari browser doesn't open PDF files when I click on them the way my Firefox did.  In fact, Safari just goes to black screen with little pinwheel in the middle spinning forever.   How do I tell my browser to use the Adobe Acrobat X app?  Thanks.

    I'm sure this is my first of many Mac questions regarding Adobe.

    What is the version of your Mac OS? Is Safari running in 64 bit (check from Safari->Get Info)? If yes, change it to 32-bit and try again.

  • Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 15' will not boot an external disk from a Mid-2012 MAcbook Pro. What should I do?

    In order to simplify moving all my files from the previous mid-2012 macbook pro 15' when moving to my new late-2013 macbook pro, i superdup-ed the full hard-disk to an external ssd. Unfortunatelly the new mac resuses to boot from this external disk (i get the grey disk with a line over it). The external disk works just fine so if I boot the new mac from its internal SSD I can read/write the external disk without problems.
    Old OS X is 10.9 as is the OS on the new mac.
    What I need to do is to boot the new mac from the external ssd, use the same superduper to copy the external content onto the internal ssd.
    How can I solve this issue?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you made a backup of your files with SuperDuper, use Migration Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) to transfer your files from the external drive > http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html It will create a new user account with the transferred files, so you may want to merge both user accounts > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472
    The Late 2013 MacBook Pro uses a special OS X Mavericks version which makes OS X compatible with it, and older OS X versions do not work with it. That's the reason why you cannot start up from the external drive created from the Mid 2012 MacBook Pro

  • Safari will not open pdf files.

    Safari will not open pdf files, instead I get a blank grey screen. How can I get a viewable and downloadable screen/file? Tried Alt/Option to view and it doesn't work either. Firefox and Chrome will not work either.

    For Mac check the Safari preferences.
    General to set the options for opening links from applications.
    Tabs to set the other options.
    Hold down the command key to open any link in a new tab.
    Sorry, gave up windows several years ago.

  • Could not open PDF Files with Safari using Lion - Solution

    Two for one solution:
    After installing Lion on my Macbook Pro, I could not open PDF files on line via Safari and iPhoto 11 kept crashing.
    Well, the solution for bothy problems was to remove the "3ivx" file. 
    The easiest way to do so is go to Applications > 3ivx folder > run Remove 3ivx app.
    OR:
    Finder > Library folder > Application Support folder > drag "3ivx" folder to trash and trash.

  • Why can I not open PDF-files in InDesign CS4?

    Hi,
    Well then, as I wrote in the headline... Why can I not open PDF-files?
    I get a notification that says that either the file is already open (which it's not) or it is missing a plug-in thingy for this kind of file.
    So, how do I know which plug-in thing I should chose from Adobe which will solve my problem?
    Could it be enough just to update the program? I tried with 6.0.6. upgrade but it wouldn't even open up. I'm not so good at this type of computerproblems (choosing upgrades, plug-in etc.). The program is not upgraded for a long time, unless it do it automatically, but I think we've chosen it not to....
    Please help!

    Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed for your OS.

    Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.
