  • My adobe will not open my jpeg pics

    My adobe will not open my jpeg pics

    We do not know what your Adobe is as our Adobe is a company, not a software program.
    If you are tryint open jpegs with Adobe Reader or Adobe Flash Player you are out of luck since they do not open files of that type. If you are trying to edit jpegs you need a program like Adobe Photoshop Elements. If you only want to view jpegs, they you can direct almost any web browser to the file for viewing. There are many free software programs for viewing and editing jpeg files.
    ImageJ - RSB Home Page
    ImageJ is provided the the U.S. Government's  National Institue of Health. It will open jpegs with no issue.

    This is what I did to fix it.  I am running Win7 so I don't know if it will work on Win 8 or not. 
    1-Uninstalled QuickTime

    6-Uninstalled any left over Apple software

    I did not install iCloud.  I was able to authorize my PC and Sync did work.

  • Adobe reader will not open after download

    Please help.  I have downloaded the newest version of reader and It will not open up; it says I must agree to agreement. there is no agreement.

    You downloaded it but, did you install it?
    If in Windows, you can try using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement.

  • Pdf files will not open upon downloading

    I download a lot of pdf docs for work and want them to open automatically upon download so I can screen them.  Since upgrading to Safari 5.1, when I download files (which has gotten much more cumbersome) they do not automatically open upon download.  Yes, I DO have the "open safe files after downloading" option checked in Preferences.  Any other thoughts?  A solution would be most helpful.  (If anyone has a solution to how I can automatically download files as easily as in prior versions, that would be greatly appreciated also.)

    Doesn't make much sense to me. Methinks details are needed.

  • Pages will not open a downloaded .pages document from iCloud because index.xml file not found?

    New to using iCloud.  I created a large pages document on Mac Air and saved it to my iCloud account.  Found it at home on desktop Mac and downloaded it.  No problem.  However, it will not open due to the index.xml file not being found.  What should I do to open this document?  I've tried several things and no luck yet.  Thanks for any tips!  :-)

    Options posted here: The required index.xml file is missing.

    Try this. It worked for me:
    1. Single click on the document. This will "highlight" the document icon, but not invoke the error message.
    2. Click on "File" in the menu.
    3. Scroll down to "Open With".
    4. One of my choices in the "Open With" selection is Pages (default) (5.0.1)
    5. Click on that choice and the document should open.
    In my "Open WIth" selection there is also a Pages (4.0.4), but that didn't work for me.
    Now, here is a caveat. If before you open your document you instead first click on an open Internet window, then the "Open With" selection disappears from the File menu. In that case just single click again on the document icon again and the "Open With" selection returns.

    Try this:
      1. Make a duplicate of the file (cmd D), just to be safe
      2. Select .pages on the copy and change to .zip
      3. When the System asks if you really want to do this, click Use .zip
      4. Double click the new .zip file
      5. It will now appear as a folder with no extension
      6. Append .pages to the end of the folder name
      7. Again click on Use .pages
      8. Double click on this file to open it in Pages.
    What you have done is extracted all the Pages resources from the .pages "package" and reconstructed it.

  • Newly updated Adobe will not open!

    I am running Windows XP professional 2002.  I have just updated to Adobe 9.3.  It now will not open and goes immediately to "Adobe 9.3 has encountered a problem and needs to close."
    Details say  Error Signature
                      AppName:  acrord32exe.
    Any suggestions?

    Ask in the Reader forum. You appear to be asking about Adobe Reader 9, not Adobe Acrobat 9. These are two different products and the problems differ between products.

  • Ipad will not open any downloaded apps

    My ipad will not open any apps that I downloaded. How do I fix this?

    If they are crashing - try downloading another app - any free app is fine.
    If they will not open at all when you tap on the icons - try restarting or resetting the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Safari will not open or download pdf files from web?

    Safari will not open or downlaod pdf files from web? IS there a setting, or something else to do this?

    Open browser preferences
    ex Safari>Preferences>Extentions   and un-enable any ext that mabe interferring , ex divX
    or open Help> installed Plug-ins and remove Adobe Acrobat.
    if still a problem
    Quit Safari.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    A Finder window will open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
    Launch Safari and test. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. If it works as expected, recreate the settings and delete the item you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place.

  • Just purcashed more memory.  adobe will not open.

    just purchased memory   adobe is not opening.

    Your brevity is impressive.
    Please tell us a few more details, like operating system, how much memory you have (and how much did you have before), what error messages you are getting, do other programs work, and the exact sequence of steps you went through from purchasing memory (I assume you mean you installed the memory as well, but please tell us if that is what you mean) to the inability to open "adobe" (I assume you mean Photoshop Elements, but please tell us what you really mean)

  • Organizer will not open after downloading, but Editor will

    When I downloaded the trial and after purchasing the product, Organizer will not work properly. I cannot open it at all; however, Editor opens and works just fine. My Mac is completely up to date and I'm not sure what else I can do.

    Bypass the Unwelcome Screen by creating Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor, and restarting your computer.
    The Editor's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    The Organizer's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    The Unwelcome Screen leaves a zombie process running which prevents the actual program from launching again.

  • Adobe will not open PDF files from other programs

    This is on one of the computers in our office.  We use a medical records program called Sevocity.  This program stores documents that we import into the electronic charts as PDF files.  When we upgraded that computer from Adobe to Adobe Pro, it no longer opened the PDF documents stored there.  Is this an issue with the medical program or with Adobe Pro?  We already had Sevocity Support attempt to fix the problem, but they said the issue looked like it was with Adobe.
    We would like to troubleshoot by re-installing AdobePro, but we want to make sure that none of our files stored to the Adobe Document Cloud.  If we re-install Adobe, will those documents still be available in the online Adobe account's Document Cloud, or do we need to move those documents to the collective Creative Cloud?

    Yeah, it does open from other sources like "My Documents", but sometimes it won't open the print previews in our billing system either.  Communication error with secure sites and programs, maybe?  I don't get an error message, though.  It just displays the "processing" symbol next to the mouse for a second or two like it does when PDF's usually open, and then nothing happens.  We are using Windows 7 on that computer.  The other computer that runs on Windows 7 also has Adobe Pro XI, but does not experience these problems.  I have also put in a ticket with Sevocity (the program that is not communicating with Adobe). 
    And that's a relief about the Document Cloud!  We will try to re-install just in case it was something that went wrong with the initial install.

  • FF4 will not open after download... "you can't open the application "firfox" because it is not supported on this application." If 4 doesn't work on OS 10.5.8, then how do I get the old firfox back?

    I downloaded the FF4 update and it has the "no smoking" symbol over the FF icon. When you attempt to open the app it states: "you can't open the application "firfox" because it is not supported on this application."
    I have OS 10.5.8
    If it will not work, how do I get the old version of FF back?

    Are you sure you downloaded the .dmg file? It should have automounted for you and opened in finder. Then all you have to do is drag the FF4 icon over the Applications link in that finder window and it will install.
    I seem to recall seeing the error you noted when I accidentally clicked a windows .exe file on my Mac.
    Also, if you visit firefox.com from your Mac, it should be prompting you to download the .dmg anyway. The only way you could get the .exe would be to click the "other operating systems" link below the main download button.

  • Adobe will not open

    Orignally started with adobe X. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with adobe XI. Even removed all registry entries. Any idea's?

    Disabling Protected Mode did not work for me. I did NOT try auto-repairing (Control Panel >Add Remove Programs > Adobe Reader XI > Change > Repair).
    What worked for me was:
    - go to Task Manager
    - find all instances of "Acrobat Reader" (file name is AcroRd32.exe) and end all of these processes
    - find "Adobe Acrobat SpeedLauncher" (file name is reader_sl.exe) and end the process (note: skip this step and the issue will not disappear)
    - launch Acrobat Reader - it should open this time
    - accept EULA if it was not yet accepted
    Before I did the steps above:
    - Acrobat Reader was not starting when I was double-clicking on a PDF file
    - Acrobat Reader was not starting when I was trying to open it directly
    - A new instance of AcroRd32.exe process was appearing in the Task Manager every time I tried one of the above actions. This resulted in a couple of AcroRd32.exe processes running in parallel after some time. Killing all of these processes and trying to open Acrobat Reader again did not resolve the issue. The missing step was killing reader_sl.exe process.
