8.0 Reader won't automatically open

I run Vista and have installed the 8.1.2 reader. When I try to open an online pdf, my IE asks if I want to open or save and I answer open. IE security then asks if I want to allow a program to open the file and I answer yes. It then says I need to download Adobe Reader 7.0, but that doesn't work with Vista. How do I get online pdfs to automatically open with the 8.1.2 reader I have? If I choose to save the file, I can then open it, but I really don't want to save everything I read. Thanks!!

Finally! I fixed the problem. Let me explain what the problem was, what did not work, and what finally worked.
I am running Adobe Read 8 on Windows XP SP2 and IE 7. When I tried to open a pdf file in the browser, it would not work and a warning popped up saying that there was a problem with Adobe and that I needed to close Adobe and try again. However, if Adobe Reader was opened first and I tried to open a pdf file in IE, the pdf file would open in IE.
Fixes that did not work:
1. Default listing set to Adobe 8.1.2/AcroRd32.exe via 'My Computer'>Tools>Folder Options>File Types (it was already set to this)
2. In Adobe: unchecking "Open pdf in browser", restarting, then checking "Open pdf in browser" (did this several times)
3. Removing and reinstalling Adobe Reader 8 (twice)
4. Repairing Adobe Reader 8 (thrice)
5. Repairing IE 7 (twice)
6. Running Adaware, Spybot, and NAV scan
7. Changing permission settings in my registry
8. Defragging and repairing my registry
Finally, I went into Add/Remove Programs, checked Display Updates, and uninstalled the latest IE 7 update. I didn't record the name of the update, but it was the last update that was automatically installed on Feb. 14, 2008. Ironically, when I removed it, I was given a warning that Adobe 8 might not work if I removed the update. However, after removal it is working fine.

I downloaded Adobe reader for Macbook, it won't automatically open when I click on pdf in Ancestry

I recently converted from a DOS PC to a MACBook. Today I downloaded Adobe Reader. (11.0,4). In Dos, when I clicked on a Pdf file in Ancestry, it automatically opened so I could read it. That is not happening now. How can I fix this.
When I click on the file, another page opens and this appears:
http://o.mfcreative.com/f4/file05/objects/b/4/2/e/5b42ea22-49a5-4e24-9809-ee445aa4275b-0.p df
Then it stops.

What does it do instead of opening?
Can you open other online docs, like http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf ?

Adobe Reader 9 won't automatically open PDF documents

Help please! When I double-click a PDF file, the get a message saying "Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view this file. Would you like to install Acrobat Reader now?" The problem is, I already have Reader 9 installed. If I check the "yes" box, the system attempts to install Acrobat Reader 7.0. When it determines that Reader 9 is already installed it terminates. The only way I can view a PDF file is to first open Acrobat Reader 9 and then open the file. This is maddening! What do I do to fix this problem?

Thanks for trying to help but this did not work for me. Im running windows vista with aol internet. And every time I go to a pdf file it downloads it to my computer and then I can open the file. It will not open on a web page it downloads it. I have tried everything nothing works. I'm gladd you where able to figure it out. I guess I will have to wait and see if anyone else can figure my problem out. Thanks for the info though.

ITunes won't automatically open

When syncing my iPhone, on my phones page I have the box checked to open iTunes when phone is plugged in but it's not opening. Why not?

This may have something to do with iTunesHelper not running. I had the same issue with the latest versions of OS X and iTunes – even reinstalled iTunes recently (for another reason) but still could not get to iTunes to automatically open when I connected my iPod.
Here is what you can try.
1. Open System Preferences
2. Open Accounts
3. Select the user where you use your iTunes
4. Click on Login Items – if you see iTunesHelper there, make sure it is checked to open when you automatically when you log in. If it is already checked – I don’t know what is wrong, you can try the following steps but I am not sure. If you cannot see iTunesHelper – continue on…
5. Leave this “Login Items” window open (do not check the “+” – just leave the window open)
6. Open a finder window
7. Select Applications
8. Select iTunes – don’t click to open it – just highlight it.
9. Now, with iTunes selected, look at icons on the menu bar of “Applications”, you should see a icon that looks like a little gear called “Action” – select this and choose “Show Package Contents”
10. Then – Click Contents – Click Resources
11. Scroll way down to the almost to the bottom – there you will see the little iTunesHelper (the icon looks like iTunes)
12. Select and drag this icon to the “Login Items” window you left open in step 4 –
13. Click the little box
14. I logged out at this point, and even rebooted – YES, I know the “reboot” comes from my life with Windows – sorry, but since with an Apple it only takes about 40 Seconds – I figured it wouldn’t hurt.
15. Now, if you have already selected the “Start iTunes automatically when ….” it should start.

Database won't automatically open in win2000

When we boot up numerous windows 2000 machines the database starts fine through the services menu BUT it doesn't automatically open as it did with windowsNT. This is for 8.1.7 and 8.1.6.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

Typically this issue is resolved by synchronizing your Windows service with your database instance. The bottomline is that some how they are no longer synchronized either because the internal password has been changed or any other parameter in the service configuration is no longer matching your instance. A simple way to fix this problem is by using the oradim utility. With Windows 2000, I normally recommend to rather write a batch file containing startup commands to startup the database a leave the service as manual. Windows 2000 provides the capability to created a schedule task from the Settings->control panel->Scheduled Task-> Add Scheduled Task-> and then choosing Startup and highlighing the batch file.
The batch file should contain commands such as
net start OracleServiceORCL (for each Oracle service to be started in the appropriate order)
However, if your choose to use an automatic startup for your service, I recommend that you refer to the oradim utility or simply type oradim at the NT/2000 prompt for help.
The either edit or delete/add (new) the service to get it conveniently configured.
This should suffice to fix your problem.
A more comprehensive case, i.e., another reason why you may be having some trouble is the authentication strategy. It is not the same to have OS_LEVEL_AUTHENTICATION as password-based authentication. Eventually, even some changes in the DNS configuration, as directed by the Domain Controller can actually affect your startup processes, once you choose either one of these configurations. If you are using OS_LEVEL_AUTHENTICATION your DNS must be configured according and driven by a DC. If you are using a password file, please refer to the ORAPWD utility. If you have switched from one authentication to the other, this is also a possible reason.

Itunes won't automatically open when iphone 4 connected

usually when i connect my iphone both iphoto and itunes would automatically open. now only iphoto opens. if i open itunes manually my phone is there and it syncs fine and so on. 'open itunes automatically' is selected as well. any ideas? thanks.

Have you rebooted your computer?
If that doesn't fix it, UNCHECK 'open itunes automatically', save preferences, then go back and check it again.

ITunes for windows 8 won't automatically open.

Whenever I plug in any apple device it will charge and windows will recognize it, but it won't open iTunes automatically or even show up in iTunes. How do I fix this?

Hi gil
Problem with your PC or Apple device?
If problem with your PC try this
Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the file named QTMovieWin.dll.
Then browse and paste that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
It works for PC
Please email me for your feedback

In iPhoto8 inserting a Card reader does not automatically open iPhoto

In preferences it shows Connecting Camera: Opens iPhoto. Is there something else I should be doing. In previous versions it opened as soon as I inserted the card reader.

Sorry, I edited my post after thinking about it. I never connect my camera - I prefer to use a card reader and previously when I inserted the card reader into the slot on my laptop it would immediately start downloading the photos into iphoto - showing dups etc. Now, in iPhoto 8 I have to drag the disc (that appears when I insert the reader) from the desktop to iPhoto and then it starts the import.

Reader won't stay open, closes after 1 or 2 seconds

Can't tell you which version I have because it closes before I can check. I am 64bit windows 7. these are not email attachments they are regular .pdf files. I also can't just open the software from the start menu. It disappears seconds after it opens. I do have CS6 installed and I saw a patch for that on the site and I tried the first to ways to run it but it didn't work. I didn't want to go through the reactivation if it wasn't the same problem, as they say it's to fix it not opening but mine opens just not for long.

Other things to try...
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Reader won't even open

I ran into a problem a couple of weeks ago - PDF docs stopped opening. I uninstalled Adobe Reader
and reinstalled 5 times without success and used a registry cleaner. I can't even open the desktop icon
or any other Adobe icon. I understand I have to uncheck "Open in safe mode only", but I can't even
get to an Adobe window to see that. Any help out there?

Since you mention "registry cleaner" I assume that you are on Windows.
First thing to try: navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader (Reader XI), or its equivalent for 64-bit Windows, double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement.
Any better?

Firefox won't automatically open tabs from my previous session.

I have literally tried everything, from the general option menu to directly using about:config to fix this problem. It happens all the damn time, and after dicking with it, I can usually fix it, but this time, I cannot get firefox to restore tabs from my previous session. I have it set to restore my previous session in the general options menu, it warns me when I close multiple tabs, private browsing is disabled. I don't know what else to do. I've scoured this site and tried every solution I could find, but none of them are working.
Firefox had frozen, so I had to ctrl/alt/del to close it, and when I restarted it, my session was gone forever. I've done this before and it's never dicked with the settings. I realize that there's a 'restore previous session' option in the history, but I want it to load automatically.
It's getting really bothersome with the amount of times firefox has done this.

Go to''' Tools'''
then '''Options'''
In privacy choose '''Remember History'''
Then go to
''General Tab''
At the start up drop down menu when firefox starts select
'''show my windows and tabs from last time'''
That should fix things

Stop automatically opening next mail

Is there a way to stop Mail from opening the next message? I often want to leave a message unread. But if I delete a read message, Mail automatically opens the next in line. Is there a way that I can manually decide which ones to open and NOT have this automatic feature? I've examine the preferences and cannot find any indication there.

the only way to do that is to collapse the message viewing window completely.
That will mean that you'll have to double-click on a message to view it but it will keep it unread untill then.

Adobe Reader won't start automatically

I've downloaded Adobe Reader to my Windows8 system,, but when I try to open a pdf file fom on-line it asks me which App I want to use, but Reader isn't listed as a choice. When I clik look for other Apps on computer, I can't find Reader anywhere (not in programs, documents, etc). It will not start automatically. The only way I can't make it work is by Saving the pdf file, then going to my graphic start page and cliking the Adobe reader icon which has been there (and only there) since it was downloaded. It's really time consuming and I have a lot of psf files I have to go back and delte from my downloads

the App version self-loaded and it worked initially whenever I tried to open a pdf file, but this is a new touchscreen Acer and I'm used to having actual programs, not Apps and I don't quite understand it yet...Of course like everything else with Windows 8, most thing don't work the way they used to after you do any updates. I'd love to go back to Windows 7, or even XP. I got this for Christmas and so far (according to it's own software program), it's shut down a total of 418 times, the majority of causes had to do with Explorer.

You saved it after setting the Password? :
Inspector > Document > Document > Require Password to Open
I just tested it and it shows up ijn The Finder with a padlock on the file icon and does require a password to open.
