Can't get PDF's to open automatically

When I click on a pdf, it just opens the downloads box and shows that is downloadiing it to my desktop. I want it to open in Adobe Acrobat automatically within the browser. I have Adobe Standard 8.0 installed on this PC and it works fine with IE. Please help! I'd love to use the speed of Safari at work but I open hundreds of PDFs a day so I need it to happen automatically

It is not enough to have Adobe 8 installed. You have to install the Adobe PDF plugin for Safari. Go to this website and install the plugin and see if that works.

  • I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app?

    I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app (the orange sqaure with headphones)? Currently I have had to often downloads and sift through all my files to find the ones I want to open into itunes, and it's irritating.

    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Installing iTunes does not and has never caused media to magically appear on the computer.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.

  • I can't get PDF's to open or download, they come up blank

    I can't get PDF's to open or download, they come up blank. I've read & tried the PDF Viewer & Schubert tips, and done full re-install but still the same - help?
    I have had various folks have a look, including the apple genius bar who could not fix it, they suggested this forum.

    Does it work if you download and save the PDF file to your computer (desktop)?

  • How can I get the ToC to open automatically in Webhelp?

    I have had this ongoing problem. When my help project is embedded in our software system and you open it, the ToC is not displayed; there is just a link called "Show" that you click on to open the ToC.
    My users do not think to click on the "Show" link so are baffled about how to navigate the help.
    I asked this question on the forums before and one of you (perhaps Peter Grainge?) kindly sent me a script to add in the footer of help topics but sadly, it did not work.
    For info, the script was:
    var panevisible = new whMessage(WH_MSG_ISPANEVISIBLE.this.1.""):
    if(!SendMessage(panevisible)) {
    show():
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Barbara

    The root problem is how your developers are calling the help.
    If they cannot or will not fix it, I think the script was from Willam van Weelden's site.

  • How can I get a song to play automatically on a web page ?     iWeb 1.1.2

    Can I get a song to play automatically when my web page opens? iWeb 1.1.2

    As long as you don't mind doing a little post publish editing of your .js files, it's fairly easy to do. You will find them in this path on your iDisk, using the Go menu in Finder:
    Go/iDisk/MyiDisk/Sites/iWeb/Nameofsitefolder/Page_filesFolder/Page.js
    Open the .js files for that particular page on your iDisk with any text editor (I like Taco, and it's free) and make the following changes to the script code that controls your movie: (you will find the movie code near the top of the page in the .js file)
    Change autoplay="false" to autoplay="true"
    Change loop="false" to loop="true"
    Changing controller value="true" to controller value="false" will remove the controller from the page entirely. Make these changes in both sets of tags, (object and embed).
    Make the changes and just "Save". Clear your browser cache and you should see the changes take effect immediately. Bear in mind you will have to make this modification each time you republish your site. You can also save this modified .js file and replace the republished file with it, as long as no other changes were made to the page in iWeb.

  • How can you get your ipod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to wifi

    How can you get your iPod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to the Internet Connection and you don't want to reset it.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • How do i get iphoto to NOT open automatically when i plug in my devices for updating in iTunes ??

    How do i get iphoto to NOT open automatically when i plug in my devices for updating in iTunes ??

    Just so i understand.  It happens when i connect my Ipad or Iphone, which i want to stop.  I'm cool with it opening when I connect my camera tho.  Can i customize it that way (just to open for my camera, and NOT my i-devices) ?
    thx for the help

  • How do I get my downloads to open automatically, right now I have to go find my download folder and click on it.

    How do I get my downloads to open automatically, right now I have to find where my download folder is each time and then find the file I just downloaded. My download pop up screeen is also blank.

    This should not have changed all by itself but it should be easy to change back
    *See [[Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]
    ** You should be able to choose to open .pdf files with Adobe. <br />Use Menu Button {Three bar icon) -> Options {cog icon) -> |Applications|
    *[[Use the Adobe Reader plugin to view or download PDF files]]
    * Also see [[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]] Although that is not what you will be doing.

  • Thanks so much for the offer of help. I'm using 10.9.2 OSX. I have Numbers 2.3 (554). I tried the new version but it was "dumbed down" so much (to make it usable on multiple platforms) that it was of no use on iMac.   I still can't get my contacts to open

    Thanks so much for the offer of help. I'm using 10.9.2 OSX. I have Numbers 2.3 (554). I tried the new version but it was "dumbed down" so much (to make it usable on multiple platforms) that it was of no use on iMac.
    I still can't get my contacts to open in Numbers like they used to do. I have a group of five addresses in a test folder in Mail called "untitled group." But no amount of pasting, dragging, etc can get them to open up in Numbers. My "real" folder has almost 100 addresses so I can't do it one by one.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks again.
    Bob

    Bob,
    You can place contacts in a table In Numbers by the following methods:
    Numbers 2.3:
    drag from contacts
    Numbers 3.2
    copy from contacts, then paste into Numbers
    In both cases you need to open System preferences, then select the "Security & Privacy panel and allow Numbers aaccess your contacts information.

  • How can I get a book to open that is downloaded on my Ipad 3, I have uninstalled, reinstalled. Held the turn off button and home button down to reboot, nothing has helped.

    How can I get a book to open in my nook app, it downloaded, and installed, it just want open, I have never had this problem before.

    This is entirely my complaint.
    I have to sit without useable internet for 5 days when there is no fault, before anyone does anything about it ? BT visit the village to do something for another customer, mess up my perfectly working broadband, and then refuse to do anything about it for 5 days. And I pay full price during that time. Let's just hope they don't come back to do something else within those 5 days !!!
    There isn't a fault with the line, it is perfectly stable. I just need somebody to use common sense and set the IP profile back to what it was.
    If the system is so clever, it could at least try moving off 135k to 512k say after an hour or so.
    I will try using that link though and see if somebody can do something !!
    Frustrated is not the word ! If I ran my business like this I'd have no customers left. I'm pretty sure that's not the first time somebody has posted that on here

  • Can i get the time capsule to automatically back up my file from my Mac Book Air but have certain files which are only stored on the time capsule and not the computer? Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk. 

  • How can I get Mac mail to open winmail.dat attachments on lion 10.7.3

    How can I get Mac mail to open letter attachments winmail.dat??   (Lion 10.7.3) Any help appreciated...

    Sorry peterskine,
    it's true in part. There's more then one article on the subject "Recipients receive a winmail.dat attachment":
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/outlook-help/recipients-receive-a-winmail-dat- attachment-HA010153018.aspx?CTT=1
    The odd thing is that my colleague and me use the same release mountain lion and we received the same email from someone on Outlook2007. He received the mail with the attachment, whilst I saw a "Winmail.dat". It already happened to me on snow-leopard, some month ago. Up til today I don't know what the difference between our machines is.
    But it is interesting: the same OS, the same mail-clients (Apple Mail) and still different results.
    Note: on my machine it used to work properly. It just suddenly happened that I started to receive winmail.dat files in stead of proper attachments.
    When I have more time on hand, I cant try to find out why this happens.

    The lack of security updates requires me to update any old OS. Unless you never connect to anything on the Internet with the computer OR you never have anything to protect on your computer running such a computer leaves you open to theft, fraud, etc. The major problem with Mavericks and soon with OS X.X is unfamiliarity. Sure they have features we don’t like. But I bet so did the one you are running, when you upgraded to it.
    Having said that I really got miffed when I was required to update my TV to work with digital signals. I have no trouble telling people to upgrade their computer, but ask me to upgrade my TV those were fighting words.
