Acrobat 10.1.7 update will not open

Acrobat X was purchased as part of CS6 suite. I have installed it on my Dell desktop and Samsung laptop. Both machines are running Windows 7-64 bit and Internet Explorer 9. Version 10.1.6 was running fine on both machines. I installed the 10.1.7 update yesterday, 5/15.
Today Acrobat 10.1.7 is running fine on the Dell desktop
It will not open on the Samsung laptop. When I click on the desktop Acrobat icon or try to launch it from the Start Menu, nothing happens. There is no error message.
I also right clicked on a PDF file, chose the Open With option, navigated to Acrobat X in my Program Files folder and said to use this program as the default. Again, the problem was not corrected.
I went to Control Panel and repaired the Acrobat 10.1.7 installation. This did not fix the problem.
Finally I uninstalled Acrobat and reinstalled the entire Creative Suite, putting me back to version 10.1.1. That runs without problems, including the IE add-on for converting web pages.

In my original post, I said Acrobat would run on my Dell desktop but not the Samsung laptop. The next day, I found it wouldn't start on the Dell, either. When trying to convert a web page, buried at the bottom of the windows I found the message from Acrobat that it was not activated (why isn't this message on TOP ???).
I guess the initial problem -- running on one computer but not the other -- was a red herring.
I looked more closely at the posts about the program not launching after 30 days and checked Control Panel. I installed the program on April 15. The problems started on May 16 !! So I guess this is just the known problem with activation when installed as part of CS6. Still a mystery why I got an extra day of use on the Dell compared with the Samsung.
I intended to update my thread yesterday. I could see my message but there didn't seem to be a way to update or 'respond' to it.
I have applied the AcroFix.exe patch, but not yet updated to version 10.1.7.
Thanks for your help.

Acrobat Connect Pro 7.5 will not open MS Outlook 2010

I have recently updated my OS to Windows 7. Acrobat Connect Pro 7.5 will not open MS Outlook 2010 with the preformatted email message after submitting via the Email Invitations button. MS Internet Explorer 8.0 goes to a blank page. Is there a compatibility issue with Acrobat Connect Pro 7.5, MS Outlook 2010, and/or Windows 7?

You were running a non-Intel version on an Intel Mac. You might not have run into problems before but it was only a matter of time. You cannot run an old version and then install brand new versions of ProKit and QuickTime - it will just break.
So you can either reinstall everything from scratch and then just keep it as it is without ever installing software updates, or you can upgrade to FCP 7. I recommend the latter.

Updates will not open...past 2 days know???

Hello,does anyone know why my updates will not open,it just shows a white page with the # of updates that need to be updated.Ive tried doing all re-sets including network re-sets.Im running a iPad 3 iOS 6.1.2.THANK YOU?

It seems clear that something became corrupted in the untimely shutdown.
Look at the splash logo and make a note of the event that FCP X is stuck at.
It will probably be saying something like "Updating Event (event-name-here)".
Usually, it is some render file. Since they can be rerendered, what I do in such circumstance is the following:
- force-quit FCP X
- in the Finder, locate the problematic Event (it is in a folder named just like the event, inside the "Final Cut Events" folder)
- open the folder for this event, and then the "Render Files" folder inside it
- move the contents of this "Render Files" folder to the trash
- start FCP X again (note that some portions of your timeline may need to be rerendered, but that is not a big deal)

Iphoto stuck in "updating" will not open, or let me hit the install button or resume.

i took my laptop to the mac store for new ram they said there was an update and they started the update at the store when i left the update was not complete and it stopped updating but when i got home i noticed it was never done so i tried hitting resume and nothing happens also it will not open at all or let me hit the install button on the app store page.

Just a type:
see i foyer can = see if you can
A result of big fingers on an tiny keyboard probably.

Firefox update will not open. I reverted to 15.0.1 and it works.

I am running Windows 7. The problem began with update 25.0.1. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled 25.0.1 several times with no success. Quit using Firefox for a time, then tried installing 26.0. Still would not run. So I reverted to 15.0.1, and it will run.
Immediately after installing the upgrade, Firefox will run. After rebooting my computer, Firefox will not open. An error "not responding" appears and I have to go into Task Manager to close Firefox.
I have tried everything in your help files that pertains to my computer. I really like Firefox, but am getting a bit frustrated.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

Numbers 3.1 update will not open on my OS X 10.9.1 iMac

I updated Numbers a few days ago, from the App Store, to the new version 3.1. It will not now open any of my spreadsheets and goes directly to "Not Responding". How am I suppose to run my business if I can't access my figures? This is yet another little hiccup since "upgrading" to Mavericks! Hellllpppppp!

Itunes error msg with latest update - will not open!

Just installed latest itunes update (9.2.1 I think) - update went fine, rebooted, all ok. Just fired the computer up again today and tried opening itunes only to immediately receive an error msg saying "itunes can not open - missing files. Re-install itunes".
Anyone found this?
Just checked and I do have the latest version of Quicktime installed.
Don't want to re-install itunes as I might loose all my settings.
Thanks.

Fixed it! Took the plunge and hit "download itunes". When it popped up, the option asked if I wanted to "repair" to I did. 100% fixed and all me settings etc are still there! Phew!!

My software update shows that no update is available for my machine. It shows that it is running Snow Leopard 10.5.8, downloads for the 10.6.8 update will not open. I am trying to get the mac store app so I can upgrade to Lion.

I have not been successful in obtaining the latest version of Snow Leopard so I have the Mac Store app. My computer shows that there are no updates available even though it only shows it running version 10..5.8. I would like to upgrade to Lion. When I download the .dmg updates from the web, they try unsuccessfully to open in Itunes or Quicktime. I can not get them to run. What is my next step?

As noted, in order to update from OS X 10.5.x to OS X 10.6.x you will need to acquire the retail package for OS X 10.6; that initial jump can not be done via download.
The current shipping retail version for OS X 10.6 is 10.6.3. Once you have installed that you can update it to OS X 10.6.8 via the Combo Update - running Software UPdate should be able to fetch that for you. You can also download it directly -
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
Once you have installed that you can download and install the update for OS X 10.7 (Lion).

Firefox update will not open.

Firefox 33 recently did an automatic update on my desktop. Now when I open Firefox, all I get is a black window. Nothing else shows. Chrome and Internet Explorer work. I use Windows 7. I can't do anything with Firefox itself because nothing is visible when the window opens; it's just black with a blurry bar on the top.
Thanks.

hello Emma99, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem.
* Intel HD 2000/3000: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64bit)
* Intel HD 4000: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=24329 (for win7 64bit)
[http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/cs-009482.htm Intel guide to find out which model you're using]
in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

ITunes update will not open -- file format not recognized

My computer cannot open the iTunes update. The error message says that the archive format is not recognized.
As far as I can tell the file format, or extension is rpm. My research reveals that this stands for Red Hat Package Manager. I downloaded a trial version of Salamander which claims to handle rpm file archives, but it STILL won't open.
Does anyone know what type of file extractor I need to open these files? Any help would be appreciated.

Same problem on my intel MacBookPro. Happened to me after doing the ilife08 upgrade a few minutes ago. Downloaded from apple again and did the upgrade option. That seems to have done the trick.

I have a iMac that will not open programs like Iphoto. I would update the software but software update will not open and the app store will not open so I can't update the software

I hav an Imac and all of a sudden I cannot ope most apple programs like Iphoto. when I try to update the software I cannot open software update nor the app store.

Since this problem occurred, have you shut down (powered off) and restarted your iMac?

Keynote update will not open. Help!

Says I must "update" in apps before I can open my presentation. When I go to app store, it reports the the update has been made. But going into Keynote, each time I try and open an existing presentation, it gives me a notice that I must first update before I can open it. ???

This is the message I get whenever I try and open an existing presentation. The App store update area says it's already updated (Aug 25th). What do I do? I can't edit any of my presentations, and this is my livelihood!

PDF documents will not open in Adobe Acrobat 5

I have one computer with XP running Acrobat 5. I now have a second computer running Windows 7 with Acrobat 9 Pro. When I take PDF documents from the computer with Acrobat 9 Pro to the one with Acrobat 5, the PDF docs will not open - an error message states the file is corrupted. Why is this hapening and how can it be fixed?
Thanks for any assistance - confused.

#1 - The files were moved using a thumb/USB drive and "Safely Remove" was used.
#2 - You may be on to something here for some: Some were created by AA9 but some others were scanned in and some were from AA8 that I had no trouble before.
#3 - The only "special feature" is that the PDF files are searchable and some are a PDF of an image.
These are basic PDF files.
Thanks for your assistance
