adobe tries to open every file i download, how do i stop this?

This is a file association problem. You can change the files Adobe Acrobat can open, but the method depends upon your version of the operating system. There used to be an entry in the Acrobat/Reader Faq on how to do this.

  • My Safari quits unexpectedly while trying to open attached files or download?

    I had that problems once. My friend reinstalled My IMac for me. It worked. But now it is happening again. Safari quits unexpectedly while I am trying to open attached files or download anything. I hate that. I want that to never happen again. And I don't actually know how to reinstall the system. I am afraid of doing smthing wrong. So I have to call apple or my friend. What  is the easiest way and solution for that? What is the reason for this problem?
    Thank you.

    Try the following:
    1. Shutdown the computer and then start it up again, see if Safari repeats the problem.
    2. Consider the source file, if it is just one or the same ones all the time but other open, the files are the problem and not Safari.
    3. Run a permissions repair on the mac. Do this via Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and select the hard drive (Second Icon with the Hard Drive Name, not the one showing the drive size above it) in the left pane and in the bottom middle click on permissions repair, don'yt worry you won't break the computer.

    "logo's"?  That's not English.  Please clarify what you mean.

  • The website recommending that I download Codec Performer opens in a new window about every 10 seconds. How can I stop this?

    A website recommending that I install Codec Performer opens a new window about every 10 seconds. How can I stop this?

    One potential cause of this is an unwanted extension. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    If you are adventurous about installing software from various websites, you may have loaded a bundle that contains some, well, crap. To review recent additions, go to your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and click the "Installed on" column heading to bring the most recent items to the top. Remove anything unexpected or unwanted.
    Success?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • Firefox keeps changing open tabs to new windows - how do I stop this?

    Firefox keeps changing open tabs to new windows - how do I stop this?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:

  • How do I stop Adobe trying to open pdf files?

    I have removed Adobe from my Mac, but it is still trying to open pdf files, both in Safari and in Mail. I've removed all of the files using CleanMyMac, so there is nothing left of it.
    How can I change the default back to Evernote, or just view pdf in Safari?

    Unfortunately, I can't do that as the file I want is coming up with this message: "Please wait...if this message is not replaced by the proper contents of the document, your pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
    You can upgrade or get the latest version of Adobe Reader...etc etc"
    I'm also getting this on my Windows XP Computer even when I have Reader installed.
    I have already deleted all internet plug ins relating to Adobe in my Library.

  • Every time I open up Firefox, it opens up my previous session, how do I stop this?

    Just recently, every time we open up a new Firefox window, the previous session will show up. I do not want the old session to appear. How can I stop this? I have checked my options and it is set to my homepage but still the previous session always appears.

    You probably already have checked the Options dialog to make sure Firefox is still set to start up with your home page. In case you haven't, this article has the steps:
    * [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
    Sometimes and add-on or external program will create a user.js file in your Firefox settings (profile) folder, and Firefox will use this file to override your previous session settings. To track down and remove a user.js file, please see the steps in this article: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    Note: By default, Windows 7 hides the .js file extension. To unhide it, so you can work with file names as accurately as possible, please see this Microsoft support article: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions
    Any luck?

  • I am getting doubles of every incoming email.  How do I stop this problem?

    I am getting doubles of every incoming email.  Is this a virus?  How do I stop it?

    Well, at this point, since you're using Snow Leopard and I'm using Mountain Lion, I should probably bow out. It does sound like a number of folks saw this kind of thing in Mail under Snow Leopard back in 2009, but I don't know whether that was a bug or just an accumulation of lots of different issues with the same symptoms all in one place. I would refer you here for possible solutions:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2133249?threadID=2133249&start=0&tstart=0
    Pay particular attention to anything that Ernie Stamper says there, as he is extremely knowledgeable about issues with Mail.

  • I opened iTunes today to find that at some point, it had downloaded everything a second time, with the duplicates having the iCloud symbol next to them. As a result, all of my albums now have every song twice. How do I stop this??

    This is extremely annoying as I have over 100 albums and I have to manually go through and 'hide' each duplicate. Attatched is an example:
    Not only that, but every time I sync my iPad/iPod's with my PC, the same happens on those devices, with albums copied on twice!!
    Any help on resolving this annoyance would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks!

    Hi, thanks for the help.
    This seems to have solved the issue!
    Thanks again

  • When I open a new tap Firefox tries to open a non existant address how can I change this please

    When I try to open a new tab I get this:
    Server not found
    Firefox can't find the server at www.[r;;iåvÞyevq¾qîx»òki.com.
    Check the address for typing errors such as
    ww.example.com instead of
    www.example.com
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

    Hats off to Tylerdowner for sharing such an easy-to-follow solution for this weird issue. Yes, it works greatly. I got rid of that strange thing by following Tylerdowner's kind guidelines. Once again, thanks a million for this real time support. Cheers :)

  • Acrobat has taken over opening PDF in Safari. How do I stop this?

    Preview has always been the engine that Safari used to open PDF in the browswer. Acorbat took over today for unknown reasons to me. How can I switch it back?

    #%&*#$% Adobe! Sorry. I forget how invasive it is.
    In Finder, choose Go > Go to folder.. and type "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins" and press enter. Your PDF plug in should be there. Get rid of it. You will need administrator credentials.
