Anyone know why pdf links won't open? also- malware has hijacked the downloadable file available when clicking on Adobe's file:

Changed OS to Mavericks & pdf links from websites won't open. I also had private browsing on in safari.
I have acrobat 10.1.10. I tried to update it when prompted by auto-updates and it said it can't because the product has been changed since installed. that can only be the switch to mavericks osx. But it might have prompted me to get version 11 though I only have version 10 & I did the version 10 update in mid-Sept.
Then, I tried going to adobe.com, searched "upda" and got a list of the cs items with icons, plus two text only links, one was acrobat for mac and the last one, "Update manager update (Mac OS)". It said it is to "resolve a common issue with Adobe Update manager on Mac OS". I cliucked that and got some bogus file. When I hit the button on adobe's site, it shows that the file name should be Adobeupdatemanager403.dmg or something very similar to that. Instead in the download list /box I got " installjdownloader.dmg" I clicked it once & saw terms of service in which they will switch you to use only their search engine, serve ads, etc. So luckily I didn't install it.
Does adobe need to investigate this malware problem? Others might search the way I did.
Anyway, this all started because after installing mavericks, i can't open any pdfs from the web.
Can anyone help me? Thank you very much in advance.

Does anyone know why Reader X won't open secure .pdf, such as a downloaded manual?

I'm using Vista 64,and updated to Reader X. It will open standard .pdf files, but secure ones (I downloaded manuals for my Canon digital camera software) not only will not open, but cause Reader X to stop responding.
My temporary solution: delete X and reinstall 9.4.whatever.
What has happened to the infallibility of this software?

It could be that there is a problem with the pdf files. Each version of Acrobat and Reader are more intolerant to malformed pdfs as that is a vector for spyware and virii.

Does anyone know why my documents won't open on the desktop

Neither JPG/Word/folders nor the MacintoshHD will open when either single or double clicked? Any ideas why this could be?

I would to a Restore. Select the iPod in iTunes. Go to the Summary tab for the iPod. There is a button there to do a Restore. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. After Restore complete, try playing songs on the iPod again.
If THAT does not fix the problem, and it's not bad headphones (since you also tried the "speaker"), there is probably a hardware problem on the iPod. All 7th gen nanos are still under warranty. If you have an Apple Store nearby, you should take it to the store's Genius Bar. To minimize waiting, you can make a reservation on store's web page.

Not possible.

Anyone know why I am unable to open PDF

anyone know why I am unable to down load pdf

A little more information would help...how are you trying to down load? Via email, Safari, or something else?
After downloading, browsers like Safari and Firefox should automatically open pdf files. Are you trying to use something else like a word processor to open the file?

Does anyone know why some Apps won't load unless I buy a new App?

I've been following a couple of threads. It seems some users, myself included, have a problem where certain Apps will not load. They simply start to open and then return back to the Home screen immediately. When it happens to me (maybe once per week) it's always the same Apps which refuse to load, and they ALL do it - Pages, Keynote, Numbers, Garageband, iMovie, Shareplus all stop working. The reported fix from all users is to go to the AppStore and either update, or buy another App - even a free one. Then all Apps work again properly. It started happening for me after upgrading to iOS 5 but many users had the same issue prior to iOS 5.
So my question is, does anyone know why this is happening? I don't want to find myself out of 3G signal, or abroad when I've turned Data off, and unable to use my Apps. The fix is useful, but I can't understand why we even need a fix. Suggestions?

Have you tried a full reset when this happens? This happens to me on rare occasion and a reset fixes things.

PDF Links Won't Open in Safari 3.1.2

Whenever I click on a PDF link in Safari, I just get a blank gray page with a spinner. PDFs use to open with no problem. I did update to Adobe CS3 last week - don't know if that's part of the problem. I have plenty of memory and disk space. Any ideas?

Do you have Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat Pro installed? If so, that is the problem.
You need to quit Safari, start the applicable program(s) you have, go to Preferences > Internet and uncheck the box where it says "Display PDF in browser using:". Then go to Users/username/Library/Internet Plug-Ins and remove the Adobe PDF plugin. Restart Safari and try view a PDF in the browser.

Anyone know why creative cloud won't download on my laptop?

No error message, it just won't launch. I have signed in

Why do PDF links in email open in Safari but only the first page shows and paging down is unavailable?

PDF files in emails open in Quick time in safari gut only show the first page and scrolling to later pages is not availaable

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Anyone know why App Store won't load all icons on my MacBook Pro and iPad but do on my iPhone when connected to the same wi-fi?

I have about 1/2 of the app store icons loading when accessing the store. The issue just started a few days ago. I have this issue on my MacBook pro and my iPad using the same router. Router checks out and I do have access to the Internet. Any ideas?

Open the Mac App Store on your MacBook Pro
Hold the Option key and click on “Purchases”
Hold the Option key and click on “OS X Lion” from the purchased app list
“Installed’ should now say “Install” which allows you to download OS X Lion.
This assumes you are using the same Apple ID on both computers.
Lion does not get installed on an iPad. It runs iOS.

Does anyone know why my MBP won't charge from an airline seat plug? This is a regular three prong outlet on a United/Continental plane.

Whenever I use a seat plug, the light on the computer end of my magsafe adapter comes on for a minute, then goes dark. Meanwhile all of the PC laptop users around me seem to be plugged in and getting power with no problem.

ask the airline or purchase this if you travel by plane often: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB441Z/A

Please. Does anyone know why I can't Boot, DVD-RW is stuck in the drive?

When I try to boot up the screen stops at the picture of the apple with the circular motion thingy and does not go any further. I let it sit there for an hour and it never came up.
It all started when I tried to make a copy of a home video on DVD-RW. I had a Lacie external dvd burner and a Lacie external Hard drive connected. The program Toast kept coming up with an error when I tried to copy the DVD-RW. I figured I would just go and download the free Mpeg-2 streamclip program & the DC30 Xact Driver for Mac to make a copy and burn the project. I downloaded both and restarted my computer and it never rebooted. It just sits on the screen mentioned above. I really need to get the DVD-RW out today because it is a friends.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Mucho thanks.

Have you tried booting up in safe mode? Hold down the shift key while booting up. If that works you might try uninstalling that new software you just installed.
