Acrobat fails to open after software update (end of March 2012) in Lion

When opening a PDF in Acrobat x Pro the programme crashes, ever since I did a software update at the end of March 2012.
I have also been having problems with emailing PDFs, with emails disappearing or getting corrupted.
Seems worse if I have Firefox open at the same time.

Still failing to launch after repairing permissions and restart.

It has always opened the file when I try a second or third time, though.
It's just the first once or twice that it fails.

Acrobat 8.1 fails to open after automatic update

I installed CS3 a month ago and everything worked well until last week after an automatic update to Acrobat was installed. Since then, whenever I try to open Acrobat, I get the windows error "Adobe Acrobat 8.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close..." I tried to download and install the latest update but that didn't fix the problem.
Also, I tried to report it to Adobe online but never got a response and now I can't find where I reported it to see what the status is.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Applications won't open after software update

after i installed an automatic software update on my iBook G4, and did the restart, several applications won't open such as Safari, iTunes, iChat. I tried to reinstall the software update, but that won't open either. it just jumps up and down like normal, and then won't open. after i try again, it jumps only once. what the heck is happening??? and i'm not very computer smart so dumb it up for me

Hello, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.

Safari and Mail will not open after software update

After doing the monthly software update yesterday, my Mail and Safari programs will not open. I click on the icon in the dock or in the Applications folder and I get nothing. The icon in the dock jumps, but nothing opens. I've read several other discussions and tried dragging several files out of the library, such as plist files and history, etc., but they still won't open. The software update only updated iTunes and iPhoto and included the most recent security update. I have not tried to reload Safari. If I do that (and it works), what do I need to do for Mail? Will I lose all my emails? Can someone tell me what I can do to get both programs back working properly? Thanks!

Another approach is to reapply the 10.3.9 combined update. "Repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
As far as your e-mail's are concerned, the database files are maintained in your User account>Library>Mail folder. It's very important you backup this folder periodically to external media regardless of circumstances to preclude losing your e-mails in the event of file corruption.
Best maintenance strategy is a full backup of your HD on a bootable external (firewire) hard drive. Makes life a lot easier in the event you need to revert your HD to its state prior to an System Update gone bad.

Mail and Safari now fail to open following software update

After running software update for my Macbook running 10.4.11, I restarted and tried to open Safari but the app crashed and sent an error report to apple. So, I then tried opening mail. Same thing happened.
I then tried removing the preferences directory from the Library directory and restarting. Safari still crashes though. Mail is at least starting now, although it has forgotten all the email account info and so has sent me into a setup wizard.
Please help. This has left me high and dry at a time when I really need access to these things.
Thanks
Stuart

Hi Stuart,
Can you post the crash report text that you get when Safari quits?
You can obtain the crash report text by clicking the (Report...) button in the Unexpectedly Quit window and then copying and pasting the text here.
If you previously had some Safari enhancing applications installed, go to these 2 locations to see if you have anything present in them and move them onto your Desktop to deactivate them:
/Users/YourUsername/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/InputManagers/
Restart Safari to pick up the change. If it works now, you can try moving the items back one by one until you find the culprit.

Ipad failed to work after software update

I have an ipad 2. after recent software update, was told to connect to itune. when connected to itune was further advise to restore factory settings. however even after going through recovery, encountered failed to recover. what should I do now

Hello, The most common thing to do after an update that results in issues is to perform an OS reload. Sometimes, the update processes have errors and such...with a reload often curing the issues. The official methods, which will be controlled as to what exact OS versions you are offered:http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-Functions-and/How-to-Reload-your-Blackberry10-O...The unofficial methods, which are cleaner, and allow you to choose an OS version that perhaps your carrier (or whoever it is controlling your offers) has been slow to approve:http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...http://forums.crackberry.com/bb10-leaked-beta-os-f395/bb10-os-archive-943672/Of course, before you started anything, hopefully you already took a good backup via LINK, a manual copy of your Device Memory to your PC, and full documentation of your configuration (account credentials, added apps, configurations, etc.). Sometimes, restoring from a backup returns to the device the very corruption one needs to eliminate, and reconfiguring from scratch can resolve that. Good luck!

IPhoto won't open after Software Update

All, after re-installing my System from the CD, re-updating with Software update to 10.4.11, I can not open iPhoto. No error message, but the dock just bounces and if I try Open from the finder nothing happens.
I tried fixing permissions and rebuilding the disk with Disk Utility.
I tried re-installing iPhoto using Pacifist.
Nada nada nada.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I'd try the Custom Installs from the iLife disk, or whatever disk you have it on... it may need more than what you replaced with Pacifist.

Photoshop fails to launch after software update

Photoshop fails to launch after the most recent software update. I am running 10.5.5 on a black macbook. It fails to launch every time. I have activated it with the key code, but never registered. What do I need to do to fix this?

Hi jmoser;
Adobe position on PS CS2 is that it is not compatible with Leopard. They say they have no plans to fix it either. According to them the only versions that are compatible with Leopard are CS3 and CS4.
I some people say they don't have any problems using PS CS2 with Leopard but it doesn't appear this is true for everyone.

Z10 Fail to work after software update

Hi everyone. I connected my Z10 device on my wifi network to do the latest software update. Everything worked fine, and I was asked if my device can restart. After the device restarted himself and came on, nothing was working. I can't access any apps on my phone it just stays on the homescreen. I can't send messages, I cant open my contacts nothing works. I restarted the device several times therafter with no effect. I took out the battery and put it back in and its still not working. I'm wondering if I am the only person who experienced this and what I must do?

MAIL DOES NOT OPEN AFTER SOFTWARE UPDATE

Computer - software updates are available - clicked ok

Mail now has ffg msg - YOU CANT USE THIS VERSION OF MAIL WITH THIS VERSION OF MAC OS X
You tried to open Mail version 4.5 (1084/1085) in
It can’t be used on this version of Mac OS X. Try opening the version of Mail located in the Applications folder on your computer. For more information, click the Help button.
HAVE MAC VERSION 10.6.8

I was posting a different work-around until Apple came out with the official article:
Open a Finder window and "Find" like the screenshot: By filename for Mail.app
Track down and discard any old versions of Mail you find. They don't work anyway.
Then do these two steps:
* Run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo 1.1.http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
* Run the Security update.http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586

Does anyone know exactly what is wrong and what i need to do to get iTunes back up and running?

Not so weird, Travis.
It is happening to many of us. G5 tower 10.4.11
So the update killed iChat, Mail, itunes, safari, dictionary any apple installer, software update, as well as programs like cocktail, onyx and many others too numerous to name here.
My update didn't have an error message.
Here is what I have done:
Dumped all the prefs, tried to find corrupted fonts=none, cleaned font cache, repaired permissions (I always do this before I install any apple stuff), repaired disk, did that from the main drive and from a laptop with the G5 as a target disk. Made new users=nothing.
Started in safe mode and used terminal to fsk the HD.
NOw I will try to install safari from the laptop to see if safari is the rascal.
Disappointed in the whole thing, basically I am stuck with no mail, no apple Tv, and although there are work arounds, this is not what I need, Thanks Apple!

Iphoto & Preview will not open after software update

I did a software update on my macbook pro yesterday, and cannot open iPhoto or review.
I am running on OSX 10.7.2 and the iPhoto is '11 9.2.1 Preview is 5.5.1
When i open either app nothing comes up, only the bar at the top of the screen changes to whatever app it is, but all the options in 'file, edit etc' cannot be clicked on.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

N96 fails to restart after software update

Hello,
If just hat my N96 software updated and now he resist to restart, he doesn't give any signal at all just "Phone start-up failed.Contact the retailer". What's wrong with it? My N96 has never worked properly, my N95 was better but also not that good as I asspected.

Hi troy1011
It might be worth looking at Paragraph 45 in FAQ for Nokia Software Updater here for using "Three finger reset" although it may be worth leaving battery out for 10 minutes first:http://europe.nokia.com/A4577229#faq45
Failing that it's a trip to a Nokia Care Point unfortunately.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0
