Adobe won't open. Program or files

My Adobe program was working fine until I downloaded a book review from 4shared.com. Now none of my pdf files will open, and I can't even access the program itself. I need pdf files for school so if anyone can help me then I would truly appreciate it.

What is your operating system?
What is your "Adobe program" - Adobe Reader? What version?

Adober Reader suddenly won't open any PDF files (Mac)

I had an old version, I downloaded the latest one, upgraded to the newest, even tried taking that one out and downloading an older version. It doesn't matter which version I seem to have, it won't open any pdf files from the web.
I use a Mac, and Safari. It used to always load PDF files fine, one random place said I had to update it so I did and since then, lately it'd crash and close all Safari windows when loading a PDF or trying to copy something from a PDF. The smart Mac message I have says it could be related to an Adobe Plug in. However, now it won't even load PDF files at all, it always goes to a white page. Nothing happens.
What do I do?? I can't even save the PDF's as individual files and view then in Preview as an alternative option. It's a link online and normally would work. What happened??
HELP!
I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
I've always used Safari, it's Version 5.0.5 (5533.21.1 if that means anything).
Acrobat Reader, currently an old version 9.4.0 download. BUT, I had also the 10.0.1 version which also doesn't work. When I had that 10.0.1 version and checked for updates, there was an update (.3 I think?) and I did that and that also doesn't work!
Why did it suddenly stop working?
What can I do to fix it ASAP?
Only with 9.4.0 version I can go to Help and "Repair Adobe Reader Installation" - I click that and the only box I can select is "Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin - View, fill-in and collaborate on Adobe PDFs within Safari" - I click continue and it tells me there's "No missing components detected. Repairs are not needed." The only option is to click "OK".
With any newer version of Adobe Reader, under Help there is no option to "Repair Adobe Reader Installation". So... I can't even try that with a new version.
I am at a loss for solutions. Hope someone here can help! Thanks!

There are several things you can do. My first step would be to repair permissions. If that doesn't work log on as a different user. If all works properly then you have a corrupt preference file (most likely) or a corrupt user font installed in your user Library (less likely). If that doesn't work download Applejack. Have it repair the disk, remove all system caches and user caches. Then have it check all system and user preference files. Remove any preference files that are corrupt. Reboot and see if your system is working properly.

Acrobat/adobe won't let me convert files

It keeps telling me I have to buy the program. I pay for the Cloud on a monthly subscription and I really need to get this file converted so I can make changes for a meeting tomorrow!

I am logged in and am registered. It will simply not let me convert most PDF's to word, whether I open it with adobe, acrobat or pro 11. When I download documents from the school library, I can convert them, anything else I can't. And I really need to. What else can I try?

When you close Adobe Acrobat and launch it again if this is not registered yet.
It will ask you to either use serial number or you may see option subscribe .
You can choose subscribe or register and use your Adobe Id (email id registered with Adobe). As you said you have already purchased subscription then you should be able to activate the subscription the moment you

How do I get Adobe Acorbat to open a .pdf file from a sharepoint library without having to checkout the file

I have a customer that is using Adobe Acrobat pro version 10.1. When they try and open a .pdf file from a SharePoint site, the user is prompted to check out and open the file or open the file. Is there a way to get Adobe Acrobat to open the .pdf file without prompting to check out or open?
Thanks
Jim

This is mostly a lion thing, rather than a PSE thing. To disable applications opening where they left off last time for all the programs on your computer, go to system preferences>general and untick this box:
You can also do on a per-program basis, but it's more complicated and the best thing to do is to search around for directions on the web and see which way is least uncomfortable for you.
There's an odd little glitch in PSE that it opens the last image you had open, even if you closed it before quitting last time. Adobe says this is correct behavior, but of course it isn't.

Adobe Reader opens PDF files, nothing else.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized. I see how to do it one at a time with the "download" button in Dropbox but that's so cumbersome for lots of photos.

How can I hide page thumbnails navigation bar at the start up of Adobe Reader and open a pdf file? I could not find this option under Preferences tab? Thanks

Hey there,
Thanks for your reply. That works for the files I do what you said. However, for files I have not done that, It still shows the navigation bar. Any idea, how to do it default for any files?
Thanks agian

Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser. Anyone know how to fix this?

Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser or usinf ctrl + t. Anyone know how to fix this?

I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

Files on one of my icloud email mailboxes won't open. No files in the mailbox will open

Files in one of my icloud mailboxes won't open. No files in this mailbox open, but other icloud mailboxes do. Any ideas?

Thank you. I tried the soft reboot again, and the home button has been working fine this whole time. I have tried deleting the email acct from the settings and the mail app still opens only empty frames. I have a screen shot of it, but don't know how to post it here to be able to show what exactly is happening.
The mail app will open. I can see the area that usually shows the messages themselves. I can also see the area that usually displays all the accts. Both these areas are completely blank. The search bar is showing on the left hand side, and up on the top right, the download button, reply, delete and compose buttons are showing. At the very bottom left the refresh button is showing. The app sits like that for about 20 seconds and then automatically closes. None of the buttons are responsive. I cannot see any of the email accounts I have in the app (3, usually but 2 at the moment since deleting the acct that seemed to have caused this problem).
I have force-stopped the app, shut down and restarted the iPad, and rebooted the iPad. None of these have helped.

I DL ver 9,10,11 of Free Adobe Reader - cannot open any PDF file.

I get an error message "The instructions at xxxx referenced memory at xxxx. The memory could not be written." What is wrong?

tI did as you instructed and got no good results. I even restored my Adobe files from several weeks ago from Carbonite and could not load Adobe REader nor open any PDF file that I was previously able to open.
When I try to open a PDF file, I get a web page that has two panes. One pane on the left has a red box area with some options. The pane on the right is grey and has some options. The web page disappears after about 5 seconds so I can't read it all.
I tried opening three files after reinstalling Adobe Reader and after restoring my Adobe files. One folder that I restored as "Cache" and had a file inside called "AcrobatFnt11 then another file called AdobeCMapFnt11 and the other file called AdobeSysFnt11.
I'm extremely anxious to be able to open and load all my PDF files like I was able to for years before.
Thank you.

Adobe won't open my itunes download dmg file

I am trying to hook up my new ipad to my old macbook. It says I have to download new itunes. When I do, my Adobe Reader won't open the dmg document for me to finish the download.

Did you move only your music, or did you move the *iTunes Library.itl* and *iTunes Music Library.xml* files as well? These files are the files iTunes recognizes as your library. If you did move the library files, where did you put them? By default, iTunes looks for these files in c:\users\my documents\my music\itunes (I think that's the right path for Vista).
If you moved these files to another location, you can point iTunes to it by holding the shift key when starting iTunes. You will then be asked where your library is. Simply browse to the iTunes Library.itl file is and your library should open.

PS c24 won't open any psd files - program error

my system:
I'm running photoshop c24 extended. I've got an iMac running osx v.10.5.6, 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo, and have 2gb SDRAM
This morning (29/01/09) I installed a software updates - the iLife media browser update, iDVD update, Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update and Quicktime update. After starting my computer back up I have not been able to open any psd files in photoshop. Jpgs open all right and I am able to create new files. But, anytime that I try to open and existing psd file, it opens up and then I immediately get the following message:
"could not complete your request because of a program error."
If I click ok, the same message pops up again and again, essentially freezing up photoshop and forcing me to force quit the app.
I've tried opening up the same psd files on my laptop and they open just fine. I also tried going back into time machine to retrieve earlier versions in case the psd files I was working with in case they had been corrupted. Nothing has worked... seems to be photoshop not the files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I tried doing the "repair permissions" thing and at first I thought it worked - I was able to open a few psd files. Then I started getting the same problem again.
I don't think ilife installed any fonts - but when I tried to open a different file just now i got a message about some corrupt font files which i didn't get earlier. So I just ran a check with fontBook on all my fonts - got rid of 5 corrupt fonts and about 50 duplicate fonts.
I'm hesitantly optimistic in saying that I think that solved the problem!
thanks for the help!
