5.0 will not open, but 3.5 works fine

i'd recently tried updating my browser to the FF with Twitter variant offered on twitter's site. but after installation the browser wouldn't open at all. it would show up on the task manager, but that was the extent of the browser's functionality. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling 5.0 to only have the same luck.
somehow installing 3.5 seems to have the browser working fine. but when upgrading to 3.6. .the same thing happens.
i've tried disabling add ons and eventually uninstalling them to no avail. anything above 3.5 just will not work on this laptop.
if there's anything you can do to help me out. ..i'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for the feedback. I was able to open some PDF files on Acrobat 5 that I recently scanned at a Fed Ex office with no issue whatsoever. I could extract pages, delete pages, etc, the software Acrobat 5 worked fine.
What I wonder is there a way I can make a change to a PDF file that will then allow me to open it in Acrobat 5? I have a gut feeling there is an adjustment that I can make in Adobe Reader after opening it that will then make the file accessible in Acrobat 5. I am playing with it but no luck thus far.

  • Applications will not open but Finder still working

    Hi everyone
    I'm having a problem with my iMac and would really appreciate some help. It had been working totally fine for a long time without any problems, however, when I woke it up from sleep last something seemed wrong so I restarted. The bootup took longer than normal and even at the login screen my iMac was working very slowly, but I did manage to login though. When I was logged in the system was running a lot more slowly than normal and I could not open any of the applications. Whenever I clicked on an app in the dock the icon bounced as normal but then after a short while stopped bouncing and went black, then after that returned to being coloured without the app having started.
    The strange thing is that Finder seems to be working fine, it is running slowly but I can still navigate through folders etc. Also, I tried connecting to my iMac through my LAN with my MacBook and this worked fine as well and I could get to all of the files on my iMac's hard drive.
    If anyone has any suggestions on what this could be and what to try to fix it, I would be very grateful.
    Cheers

    I have had a similar issue. I don't have users set up on my computer, so when I restart it automatically logs me in, but if I log out and then log back in (instead of restarting) it seems to fix my problem. My problem is that I open the system applications and they bounce in the doc and the menu bar at the top says the program, but it won't do anything else. I think when this problem originally started that I tried checking things with the cd and it wouldn't complete the test. I should try that again when I have loged out and back in and all my applications are runing. Good luck.

  • After I connect an ipod thro a usb cable, firefox will not load, but other browsers work fine.?

    Firefox works fine and is my preferred browser, but after I connect an ipod to my computer it will not load. Even after the ipod has been removed firefox will still not load until the pc is restarted.

    Open the Windows Task Manager > Processes Tab and see if there is a '''firefox.exe''' process running, when you can't open Firefox and you find it necessary ti restart your PC. When you try to open Firefox and a firefox.exe process is "hung", you should get a warning message that ''' "Firefox is already running" '''.

  • Firefox is not open, will not open, but when I try to update or uninstall it says I need to close Firefox first. I have exhausted the suggestions on the support page. I have no choice but to use a different browser.

    Firefox is not open, will not open, but when I try to update or uninstall it says I need to close Firefox first. This is a common problem, as I have seen many posts with the same problem. I don't know what else I can say about it, it is pretty straightforward.

    I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine.  I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one?  Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months. 
    Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well?  It is not saved in the cloud.
    Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

    You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
    But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
    These are the steps:
    Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
    Put it in a cheap enclosure
    Connect it the new computer
    Boot up new computer.
    If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
    Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
    If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

    Photo Booth will not open.  My camera works well with other apps. 

    try running it in either 32 or 64bit mode and see if this changes the experience. Locate the icon in Finder, right click "get-info" on it and see the checkmarks "run in 32bit mode" ..
    on Lion some users had trouble opeining pb when "iglasses" was installed, also a thing to check.
    Else repair permissions of the disk, using Apples disk utility app.

  • Ask your question.please help itunes will not launch on my computer the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder no error message appears and it appears but then disappears in task manager when the programme will not open quick time is working

    please help i need to fix my itunes it will not launch on my computer . no error message appears it simply will not run. the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder and it still appears in programmes in start menu but will not open. it appears in task manager but disappears when the programme will not open

    You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
    You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If  there was one please give it in full.
    Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
    Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
    Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

  • Flash Will Not Open (but the rest of CS4 will)

    Hello all,
    I bought CS4 Design Premium back in October 2008 with my new MacBook Pro.  While I have been using Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop for some time, I am just now wanting to get into Flash.
    The problem is that Flash will not open.  I get the entry window that asks me to choose what type of Flash file I would like to start, but no matter what I choose the windows shut down and I get a crash report (that is quite long).
    Can someone please shed some light on why this is happening?
    Thank you all in advance for your help with this!
    Peace,

  • Prel 13 saved project files will not open, or Prel stops working.

             Sandgrass-Saved files of Prel 13 projects will not open in Prel 13.  Is there any way to reclaim/alter these files to where they will open? Could there be a missing codec? 
            My computer—Hpe 580t, Win 7 Professional 64-bit OS with second internal 1 TB hard drive;
               Intel R Core, TM i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07 GHz,      RAM 9.00GB
    All of my clips and stills were taken on my Nikon CoolPix P500.  They will import just fine from PSE organizer or from Prel 13 organizer and I can edit just fine. The trouble seems to be when I attempt to open the saved project files for further editing or adding  movie theme and scene markers for a 54-minute movie.
                       I have tried opening from within Prel 13 and from the stored files on my Data Drive E:.  Prel opens the project and tries to load; then an error msg appears:  “Premiere Elements has stopped working.  Windows will close the program and let you know if a solution is found”, or an error message says "Cannot open:---this file is not compatible with Pre"l.  Only one copy of several edited and rendered copies of the project will open, and I am very afraid to touch it until someone can maybe suggest a solution.  I tried saving copies of the one working file, but none of them will open. Thank you for your assistance.      Sandgrass

    Did you say that you were working on Windows or Mac? For now, assuming Windows,
    1. Go to the Adobe Folder in Documents (should be there unless you changed the default).
    2. Locate the project.prel file of interest in Adobe Folder/Documents Folder/Premiere Elements Folder/11.0 Folder. Inside the 11.0 Folder, among some folders and other files, are the project.prel files if you did not do any special organization. Right click the project.prel of interest and select Open With, followed by Premiere Elements 10. Does the project now open?
    Do you have any versions of Premiere Elements on your computer except this Premiere Elements 10?
    Have you deleted or moved any of the source media that went into your project after you saved/closed any of these projects? Where are your source media stored? If on an external hard drive, is the drive letter of that drive changing on its own?
    What happens if you rename one of the problem project.prel files in the Adobe Folder and then try to open it from there?
    Just some thoughts for now.
    We will be watching for further developments.
    Thanks.

    One log is not 7 pages long, though it may appear that way: )
    The most recent report should be the one that is on the bottom of the Safari crash logs,.The most recent is the one we need to see.

  • CS5.5 InDesign will not open but says "quit unexpectedly"

    I own a copy of the Adobe creative suite. All programs have been working fine except for InDesign. Within the last week, every time I attempt to open the program, it does not open and gives the following error message: "InDesign quit unexpectedly." See screen shot below of message details. The only think I can think of that might have effected it, is the free fonts I've downloaded recently, but that is not effect this same set up on my MAC desktop and it is not effecting my other Adobe programs, like Photoshop for example.
    I have restarted me computer.
    I have held down shift, control, option, & command while launcing InDesign and deleted InDesign Preference Files.
    I have uninstalled & reinstalled InDesign, the entire Adobe Suite, and every since Adobe program for a total of three times.
    I have also followed this link's instructions: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6, HOWEVER, when I ran the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool (Step 3), there were no files to select from for cleaning. I selected "all", and proceeded, although there was nothing to "clean". I was also unable to follow step 4. "Verify that the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool completed successfully" as I did not understand the instructions. I opened TextEdit, but did not know how I was supposed to open /Users[user name]/Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.log.
    Please HELP! I've spend hours and am no further in figuring this out!
