Adobe Reader XI Greyed out after upgrade

Hi, I need help.  My mom's MacBook Pro running OS X Lion 10.7.5 stopped opening PDF's in browser (Safari) after upgrading to Adobe Reader XI. The Reader is greyed out in the corner and while the PDF will open in browser, it is a garbled mess of code.

Fixed it!  After much internet searching I realized I was asking the wrong question.  It's not about the "Reader" button being grayed out as some PDF's were open in Safari and the Reader button WAS blue.  It was about a particular plug-in from adobe.  It's an Adobe issue.  Go to Library/internet plug ins and delete the plug in Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
That solved my problem!

  • "Motion 4" icon greyed out after upgrading to Yosemite - Did Yosemite break "Motion 4" in Final Cut Studio?

    Against my better judgement (now that Apple has turned into Microsoft 10 years ago, breaking apps with every OS update, followed by radio silence from Apple, pretending like they didn't do anything), I just upgraded from Mountain Lion to Yosemite and noticed that my Motion 4 icon is now greyed out. Thanks Apple.
    I still do the majority of my work in Final Cut Pro 7, with many, many, Motion 4 projects embedded in the timeline (so that I can change them in Motion and have them seamlessly updated in my Final Cut Pro project), including an unfinished feature length documentary on gay and lesbian history from 2000 BC until 1900 AD. Should I just throw the entire film into the rubbish bin? I would presume that Motion 5.1.2 is incompatible with Final Cut 7? So what am I supposed to do now?
    1 - Downgrade to Mountain Lion (or heck, why not Snow Leopard?)?
    2 - Switch to Adobe Premiere?
    3 - All of the above?
    Thanks (for nothing, Apple).
    MacBook Pro 15" with Retina Display
    2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB

    After some peacefull time my system crashed completely on Friday!
    I installed all from Scratch to make sure its not some old stuff that I carried on during migration.
    It's not a problem with the motion files as I deleted all of them and XML export is still crashing!
    The situation is, that after installing it all I got the same quicktime translation error again and I am quite angry about how Apple handles clients who are working on projects with the recent FCP story.
    Unfortunately due to the problems in exporting XML I am not even able to switch to Adobe Premier as this is the only way to import there.
    After a lot of testing I am quite sure, that this issue has to do something with an Apple Update release between June 2011 and now.
    Conclusion: Final Cut Studio II is not working correctly anymore as it did before June 2011!!! Apple, Please fix this issue asap.!!!!

  • Adobe reader xi (11.0) after upgrading acrord32.exe unknown software exception

    after upgrading from (10) to latest version of  adobe reader xi (11.0) keeps crashing
    a) During windows boot:   acrord32.exe Ausnahme Unbekannter Softwarefehler (0xc0000409)
    b) after attempting to open a .pdf 
        the file might open,  but  acrord32.exe Ausnahme Unbekannter Softwarefehler (0xc0000409) error message
    keeps returning  every few minutes
    Windows XP SP3  adobe reader xi (11.0) updated to 11.0.01

    No, adobe acrobat reader is not in the startup list, but a filemanager, displaying a directory containing  .pdf's.
    In the meantime I have de- and reinstalled it multiple times, last running ccleaner v3.27
    which found dozends of ancient acrobat 7.0, 9.0, 10.0 entries | files to be removed.
    Unfortunate the error message still appears attempting to open a  .pdf 
    or just browsing a directory with .pdf's
    Last I noted an error message pointing to a .exe file which cannot be accessed on a synced directory of our fileserver,
    since I was not aware my directories are synced, I shall talk to our administrators...

  • Enable User Rights In Adobe Reader is greyed out in Adobe 8

    I want the ability to save my fillable forms. The user guide tells me to goto Advanced > Enable User Rights In Adobe Reader.
    That option is greyed out in my Adobe Acrobat. Can't figure out why. Need some pointers.

    In that case you will have to start over and use the form fields in Acrobat, not Designer. I do not use Designer, so I can not say if you have just missed it or not. I am sure others will stop by and say if it is available in Designer. Bill

  • Deleting Adobe Reader 8 and 9 after Upgrading to 10

    I upgraded several months ago but noticed that Adobe Reader 8 and 9 are still in my Adobe folder under programs.  Can I delete those folders/files or does Reader 10 need them??

    The standard advise is to rewmove all traces of previous versions of
    Reader before proceeding to a new install. If the previous versions have
    not been removed, the standard advise is to remove all trace
    s of Reader (all versions), and then rein
    stalling the one you want. To eliminate
    Reader, you can follow the procedure described here:

  • Items greyed out after upgrading and migrating to Sharepoint 2013 - Open and Check Out + Manage Document Option

    Hi there,
    Following a migration to SharePoint 2013, the follow options have been disabled (Open and Check out + Manage) (see below). These are critically important functions and make it very hard to make SharePoint a useable interface. Any guidance on how to resolve
    these issues is greatly appreciated. This is not a branded website, and there has been no changes made to the standard interface.
    Kind regards
    Jarrad Koppen

    I'm not sure what the easiest way is either.  First, I would try to create a new site collection with a new library and see if you get the same behavior.  If not, then its something in the upgrade process.  If it does that also would point
    to something being wrong in the way that javascript is being executed.
    If it is happening everywhere I suspect you'll have to start tracing javascript using something like IE developer's toolbar to see why the status on those buttons isn't changing when you select a document.  I'm not sure what else to suggest.

  • Pages documents greyed out after upgrade

    Since updating pages on my Ipad 2 some of the pages documents are greyed over, they will not open and when you try to open in another app it states "that this document is updating wait for it to finish then try opening in another app".
    I have rebooted pressing home and off button till the apple logo comes up and tried again.
    Still no better.
    If you  delete and then reinstall pages I suppose this may cure the problem, but will it not also delete all data?
    The greyed over pages are the only ones I have NOT created in pages, which may conclude that the issue is with pages that have been created with a conversion
    For example: email word document converted to pages ( which is the ones that don't open for me)
    Does anyone else have the same issue and can Apple please tell me what is getting done about it.

    Hi,
    Uninstalling and reinstalling should do it. If you want your documents do be backed up; you have to upload them by doing this: http://www.flickr.com/x/t/0091009/photos/106752024@N02/10897769403/   And then this:  http://www.flickr.com/x/t/0094009/photos/106752024@N02/10897504085/ 
    You can find that under: Setings, iCloud.
    Hope it works!! :)

  • All options are greyed out after i Click on Apply Maitenance

    Hi All,
    I am upgrading our EPM system from 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.2. I have downloaded all the required files from e-delivery.oracle .com and unzipped them. I selected Apply Maintenance and when i clicked next all the options are greyed out. I am not sure what i have done wrong. I am using the same user ID which was used for installation of hyperion 11.1.2.1.
    Kindly help me out.
    Find the screenshots at my blog.
    http://hyperion-consulting.blogspot.in/2013/01/all-options-are-greyed-out-after-i.html
    Regards,
    AS

    From your screenshot it says that 11.1.2.2 Foundation has been installed when it should say 11.1.2.1 like this - http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J_9A8U41JS0/T5WXO3JQtxI/AAAAAAAAEj8/0nqcNdo1bFQ/s1600/image022.png
    Also you should only have the option to "Apply maintenance release" like this - http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1zQHVCODSr0/T5WXNLQN4YI/AAAAAAAAEj4/vNQ_vOT03_8/s1600/image021.png in your screenshot you also have the option to Re-install the release.
    Are you definitely sure the environment has had nothing applied to it.
    Cheers

  • Project pane greys out after adding either HD movie footage or a photo'

    Project pane greys out after adding either HD movie footage or a photo' into iMovie '08. Since using a HD camcorder, quite often, after adding either HD movie footage or a photo', the project pane greys out. I have to exit the project and re-enter to continue viewing the project; this is tiresome. Any thoughts or is this yet another iMovie '08 bug?

    look in user/Library/Preferences for a file called com.apple.iMovie(x).plist (x stands for any number) ....
    trash that.
    restart iMovie..
    it doesn't hurt your projects nor does it touch any files.. it just 'resets' an app.. => slapp on backhead.. as I like to call it..
    yes, hardware is nice, as long as you don't dare to handle AVCHD .. that is on Intel Mac only..

  • My ibook G4 display greys out after a few seconds, clicking on the screen returns it to normal.

    My ibook G4 display greys out after a few seconds, clicking on the screen returns it to normal functioning.  I have adjusted the delay times before the computer goes to sleep to no avail, so I'm thinking this issue stems from something else.

    Have you tried resetting the PMU? The PMU (Power Management Unit) has control over the sleep function, so resetting it may help if the iBook is sleeping unexpectedly.

  • "Edit Clip in Adobe Audition" is greyed out in CS6.

    In Adobe Premiere CS6, "Edit Clip in Adobe Audition" is greyed out.  How can I change that?  I have Adobe Audition CS6 installed as well.  I have Production Premium CS6.

    I've solved it.
    Here's what I did:
    1) Put in my Adobe CS6 Production Premium install discs and re-installed the programs that I had chosen.  All of them (except for the 32-bit versions of software that was available in 64-bit).
    2) Let all of the programs finish the install.  I believe that Premiere needs Audition to be installed first, so that it recognizes that it's there, and that's a natural progression when installing all of Production Premium.
    3) That's it.  I opened Premiere, and found that it could connect with Audition.

    If the "it" refers to a compressed (zipped) spreadsheet that you downloaded, the ".ods" extension is used by LibreOffice and probably OpenOffice (which are free versions of MS Office) for spreadsheets, which would suggest that wherever you're getting that "Excel" file from has switched to one of those programs. I've tried opening an .ods file from LibreOffice using MS Office 2013 for Windows and it does open though with a warning that some things have been changed. I don't know if Office for Mac can normally open .ods files. But if your need is to just open .ods files, take a look at LibreOffice.

  • Why does my Adobe Reader installation time out?

    Why does my Adobe Reader installation time out at 64 percent on Windows XP?
    I am currently running version 9.5.2.
    Does anyone have a solution please.

    Hi,
    This "timeout at 64%" issue has been reported more than a few times  here.
    You can try direct download from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    If you can dedicate some time and help to investigate the issue, here is what I would ask:
    Before trying the link I have provided, can you please enable verbose MSI logging and try to install Reader the way you did originally - I assume that you used Adobe.com, right?
    If it fails again at 64%, please find the latest MSIxxxxx.log file in the Temp folder and send it to me.
    To enable Windows Installer logging
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223300
    ...open the registry with Regedit.exe and create the following path and keys: 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
    Reg_SZ: Logging
    Value: voicewarmupx
    The Temp folder on Windows XP is
    C:\Documents and Settings\[YourUserName]\Local Settings\Temp
