Acrobat 10 won't start anymore

Love how you spend thousands to get the latest software from Adobe, and then when you simply need to open a PDF file right before a presentation, the application won't open.
Found one discussion that advises to uninstall and the reinstall. Seriously? And I need to download Adobe's special "the regular uninstaller process does not work so use our alternate" tool?

Same problem running CS6 Master Collection Acrobat X Pro on Win 7 64-bit. Had just created a .pdf from a webpage by printing to Adobe PDF. Gave the file a name, saved it, it popped up on the screen just fine and then Acrobat promptly disappeared. Now Acrobat will not launch. Have tried the usual gambit of solutions to no avail. Seems obvious to me something in the last update FUBAR'd Acrobat.
Sorry for the blow by blow that is about to occur below, but I am trying to give as much info as possible so that maybe Adobe will get this fixed ASAP.
I just deleted the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache\cache.db file. That does allow acrobat to launch, but it launches to the EULA agreement (see screenshot).
I click "accept" and it there is no animation on the button. It acts like it is not accept the selection, but if you wait a couple seconds you get this screen:
Apparently I have a trial good for 89+ years :^)... anyway, click to License This Software and get this screen:
I select Sign In and it takes it a bit, but eventually gets to provide serial number screen:
Of course, guess where my license number is? Yep, saved as a .pdf.... so I exited out of the license page (NOT backed out) and restarted it with the intent of using it in trial mode to get the license number I need. When it launched, it went to the splash screen and seemed okay, so I open a file and it seems fine.
I then click help>product registration. It brings me to the CS6 Master Collection screen and asked for me to enter my adobe id/pw. Upon doing that, I receive this
And it appeared to be working now. Acrobat is showing me it is at version 10.3.1
But it is buggy. I can work in a file for a few minutes then the Master Collection Trial page already shown above pops up, my license status that was okay a few minutes ago is now back to "Complete/Update Adobe ID profile and we are in a loop of following the above steps over and over. *sigh*
I've got things to get done today! I'm going to use it for a while and see what happens.
I'll post an update later.
If anyone has any ideas or further info please let me know.
Thanks!

X11 won't start anymore!

Hello,
this is a desperate call: I am at a conference with my MBP, (10.6.7, all updates done). I need Matlab for my presentation, which needs X11.
X11 (and XQuartz) decided that they won't start anymore: the icon bounces in the dock for a while, then sits there without the little light underneath, and X11 is "non responding".
The logs show something like this.
I have googled and searched: similar problems once in a while appear but no posted solution.
I tried:
1) reinstalling XQuartz (I would reinstall X11, but how? I do not have the disks with me, I am away!)
2) from an admin account
3) create a new account.
4) repair permissions.
5) reinstall the font update from Apple that was recently issued.
HELP PLEASE!!!

Here is the solution: there was nothing wrong with x11 per se!
The problem was that about 30 files in /usr/bin (like gzip, egrep, hexdump etc) had been hosed (they had 0 file size). The puzzling messages was due to the fact that startx uses hexdump, which was simply silently doing nothing (since it had 0 size!).
I do not know what or when these files were zeroed: I suspect a recent OSX update which did not complete and I had to forcefully reboot.
I have fixed it enough to work (copying those files from another mac), but who knows what else lurks beneath the surface of apparent serenity!
I am actually surprised that the whole system did not stop functioning completely.
MORALE: if something looks strange in the logs with x11 or other apps, check the file sizes in your /usr/bin, you may be surprised too!

Adobe bridge won't start anymore. Icon is hopping and then it shuts down..

Could someone help me with this. After trying to install output module in bridge cc, bridge won't start anymore. The icon is hopping for a few seconds and then the appllication is shut down.

Oh ok - Thankyou for that. I will be ringing them tomorrow and I will not be happy ! And I'm hoping they can suggest what I'm suppose to do about getting it back to them as I can't take it in myself. SO so angry!!! Does people getting it back in a worse state happen often? :| do read these discussion boards? I hope they do!!!

Mega Player 538 won't start anymore

I just flashed the firmware of my mega player 538 to the latest 1.11.03.
The prosedure went ok but now the player won't start anymore.
When I press "Power On" -button nothing happens.
Is there anything that I can do or is the player gone...?
Can I reset the player to solve the problem?

I contacted MSI support, but no answer from them yet.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to wait because I had a very important affair where I needed the device.
So, I returned the player to the shop. Of course the shop didn't have replacement on the stock but they gave me my money back. So, I went to another shop and bought a creative player instead and I was able to complete my affair.
It would have been nice to have the problem solved because the player was perfect for my needs and was very cheap as well (only 20 euros). The new player was three times more expensive and only 512Mb storage.
If MSI will return with a solution I can post it here in case somebody else has a same kind of a problem.

My 3Gs won't start anymore, how can I get it to?

I plugged in my 3Gs for the night last week and I woke up with the battery at 80%, so I just thought that maybe it came unplugged or something. I plugged in my charger and nothing happened, I got the "Charging is not supported with this accessory" error, even though I was using the white wire that came with it. I took it out of the wall adapter and tried it on my computer, nothing. I try my brothers wire, my mom's wire, car chargers, everything. Now I'm not sure if my battery is just done, or if my phone just won't start anymore, it's out of warranty so I'm up for any type of fixes, thanks.

Clean the iPhone dock port with a clean dry toothbrush. See if it helped. If not, clean dock port very carefully with lint free cloth moistened with Isopropyll Alcohol, especially clean the pins which are on top of the dock mid rib. You can even use the toothbrush with a bit of Isopropyll Alcohol here too. Let it dry, usually 30 seconds time. See if this helped.

Ultra 10 won't start anymore

Hello,
I have an Ultra 10 box with an extra video card inside. Everything was working fine, and then I got curious and decided to open it up to see what's inside. Now it won't start anymore. I turn the computer on, the fans start spinning, but nothing gets displayed on screen. I can hear the hard disk turning too, and the CD drive is powered, but I don't think anything is going on.
The only thing I touched when I opened it was the extra graphics card, but I was very careful and I am pretty sure I did not fry it. I get nothing displayed on screen when I plug the monitor in the original video card either.
Is there anything I can do to find out what the problem is? Is there some special switch inside the box that I may have turned off without noticing?
Thanks for the help...

Hello,
when you removed the ATI Radeon (XVR-100) and powered-on, the long card (Creator3D or Elite3D) with the weird connector (13W3) became the default output device. It takes precedence over the integrated video.
Remove the long card (if you don't own a 13W3-HD15 adapter or monitor with 13W3 connector) and insert the XVR-100 (attach the monitor to the integrated video). If you power-on the integrated video becomes the default. You should see the output on the monitor.
Enter show-displays at the ok-prompt. If only a single entry is displayed, power-down and check if the card is properly seated.
Otherwise press the letter of the entry that doesn't contain /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/SUNW,m64B@2.
This a sample output of an Ultra 10 with Creator3D as add-in board.
ok show-displays
a) /SUNW,ffb@1e,0
b) /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/SUNW,m64B@2
q) NO SELECTION
Enter Selection, q to quit: b
/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/SUNW,m64B@2 has been selected.
Type ^Y ( Control-Y ) to insert it in the command line.
e.g. ok nvalias mydev ^Y
for creating devalias mydev for
/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/SUNW,m64B@2
nvalias mydev ^Y
The above sets the output-device to the integrated video even if a Creator3D is installed.
Then enter setenv output-device mydev (if you used this name) and reset-all. Attach the monitor to the XVR-100.

CVI program won't start anymore

Our measurement application worked well on several PC's (Win7 32Bit, WinXp 32Bit).
But on 2 newer PC's (Win7 32Bit) the application won't start anymore.
The attached Error with the code R6030 shows up.
We found a workaround for the problem: run the application as administrator.
But after we installed a USB-driver, this workaround doesn't help anymore,
and the Error shows up every time.
We installed the environment (cvi-rt, etc...) with an distributed setup.
So the Versions of the components are the same on every PC.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Okay we solved the problem,
the cause was, the HP-Software, which was preinstalled on the PC's (the others were Dells)
After uninstalling the HP Security Suite our application works perfect.
I hope this helps other poor guys

Eclipse IDE won't start anymore after most recent security update

Hello everybody,
after today's security update the Eclipse IDE won't start anymore on my system, I just receive the following error message:
A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse.
No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations: /Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/jre/bin/
java
'java' in your current PATH
Java is installed and Eclipse ran smoothly until I upgraded. Other Java programs like Visual Paradigm still work without problems.
Does anybody have an idea what I can do about this? I have already tried repairing permissions, to no avail.
Best regards,
Björn

I have narrowed down the problem even more:
Obviously system path variables are not set anymore on my system for UNIX processes that are started in background, whereas starting applications from terminal using the open command ('open Gimp.app' for instance) still works without any problems.
Any ideas where to change this behaviour?

Hi jneelen,
That is a bummer when the apps are not working. For most issues with apps that have been downloaded from the App Store, the troubleshooting article will work for most issues when they do not launch or crash on you.

Creeated new account - but safari won't start anymore

I created a new account with a parental control. Logged in under the new account and Safari won't start anymore. It quits directly after starting. Any help suggestion ?
Thanks much

Does it work in your old account?
If so, delete everything in the folder /Users/controlled account name/Library/InputManagers.
Also try deleting /Users/controlled account name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist.
(replace controlled account name with the name of the controlled account)
Good luck!

I would question that error message if the Mac OS X 10.5 DVD doesn't work, either.
What error message(s) did you get with the Mac OS X 10.5 DVD? Is the Mac OS X 10.5 DVD the full retail install DVD, an upgrade DVD, or a DVD that came with another Mac?

Qbittorrent won't start anymore because of boost (SOLVED)

After the last reboot, qbittorrent has decided not to start anymore.
$ qbittorrent
qbittorrent: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.48.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Okay, so I saw that boost was at 1.49.0 (but has been installed for a couple of weeks now, and qbittorrent has resisted reboots since), and I tried downgrading it (both boost and boost-libs) to 1.48.0. (FWIW, qbittorrent is at the same version since december)
But now I get
$ qbittorrent
qbittorrent: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.49.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
How can I fix this? Thanks,

This is happening to me again, but now rebuilding qbittorrent won't work!
I'm feeling a bit dumb: actually, packer doesn't rebuild packages when you reinstall. I didn't find the option to, either. But manually installing the aur package rebuilds it, and then it works.

Please help - iTunes won't start anymore: unknown error -69

Hello out there,
please can anybody help me: all of a sudden my iTunes won't start any more - it only shows a message stating an unknown error -69 and then quits.
I did not change anything on my system before that, so I just don't know what could trigger that...
I am using iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows XP SP2, both German versions.
Before posting this question I searched the archives and tried the following, all to no avail:
1. disabled "safe mode" in QuickTime audio options -> problem remains
2. set speakers to "stereo headphones" in Windows sound options -> problem remains
3. deinstalled iTunes, downloaded the installation file again and reinstalled it -> problem remains
4. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime, downloaded QuickTime stand-alone version, installed this and afterwards iTunes again -> problem remains
5. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime again, deleted all iTunes and QuickTime data folders, reinstalled everything again -> problem remains
6. ran a CHKDSK an the drive iTunes is on -> no problems found
It still won't start, always giving this unknown error -69.
Please, does anybody know what to do?
Any hints and help are much appreciated!
Thanks a lot
and best regards

Java application won't start anymore

Hi,
I am using a Java Application (Protege) that was running just fine last week but today it just won’t start!
When click-on it jumps about 3 time in the dock and stop. I was able to run the connected .jar file but most of the features are not available this way.
I have not done anything special since last week beside Safari update (1.3.2.).
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Did you update Quicktime to 7.0.4? See if the following discussion seems relevant. There's a solution in the fourth message (reverting to Quicktime 7.0.1).
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1500443
If that's the fix, the problem may be due to Protege using an outdated JavaApplicationLauncher. See
