Can't open Pdfs in firefox, works fine in Safari. Please help?

This resolved my problem
I checked and my Firefox is doing (or not doing in this case) the same thing. There seems to be a problem with the Snow Leopard and the Adobe browser plugin. I was able to get Firefox working again by going to Firefox > Preferences > Applications and switching all to Adobe settings to "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the plugin. Then I went to Tools > Add-ons... > Plugins and disabled the Acrobat plugin. Restarted Firefox and now pdf worked.

Safari won't open anything. Firefox works fine.

Safari won't open anyuthing. Firefox works fine. Is something happenng at the Safari end?

Sue --
Are you really still on 10.5.1?
Tell us your exact OS, the version of Safari you're running, how long this has been happening, etc. Is it actually crashing? Does it open up with your Home Page? Then what happens when you want to see a site?

Can't open PDFs in Firefox

All of a sudden I can't open PDFs on my website when using Firefox, works in IE though - any idea?

In firefox you need to check two things:
1) Make sure an application has been associated with the pdf files. To do this try this:
Tools >> Options >> Applications
The first item should be Adobe Acrobate document. Click on the Actions Column to open a drop down list. Now select the default program for your documents.
2) you also need to check whether the scripts are enabled in the browser. To do this try the following:
Tools >> Options >> Content
Now Check on "Enable JavaScript" this is the third item on the list.
Now click on Advanced Button on the right hand side.
Make sure all three items are ticked.
Hope this helps.

Can't Open PDFs Inside Firefox

I have installed the latest Adobe Reader 9 and want to open PDF documents inside of the Firefox browser on Vista. No matter what I do, I always get a popup window asking me if I want to download or open in Adobe Reader when I click on a pdf file. I have Firefox's tools - options - applications set to "use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". I have re-installed Adobe Reader and Firefox with the most recent versions. I have manually copied the plugin dll from its Adobe directory to the Firefox directory, over-writing the existing one in Firefox. I have deleted pluginreg.dat and let Firefox recreate it. None of this does anything for me. My IE, however, will open PDF files inline with Adobe Reader. Any ideas?

I have the same problem, after installing Adobe Reader Ver 9.4.0. Using FF Ver 3.6.12 and XP home edition. Prior to this last Adobe installation, I could always download PDF documents from the Internet. But now, when I try to download, I first get an all white page for a second or two and then the page goes all black and nothing happens after that. Have tried it many times, and always get the same result.
I can still open PDFs from those stored on my Hard Drive OK, but I can no longer open or download any PDF from the Internet.
Has to be a defect in the latest Adobe version. Is there any fix for this?
Thanks,
ASC

Safari Version 5.1.2 (7534.52.7) suddenly can't connect to server, Firefox works fine

Running Lion 10.7.2 and latest version of Safari.
Last night I opened up my MacBook and Safari gives the 'can't connect to server' error for any page I try and visit.
I tried resetting Safari, clearing cache, rebooting Safair, rebooting computer, resetting router and modem, uninstalling/reinstalling Safari.
Firefox still works fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Figured out my issue.
It was a conflict with an old version of Little Snitch running with Safari 5.1.2
I updated to the latest Little Snitch version and no more issues.

I have Adobe reader installed, but can't open pdfs in Firefox and it doesn't show in the Applications tab.

When I click on a pdf link, the new tab opens but doesn't show the content of the pdf. There is no error message. When I look under Tools, Options, applications, there is no option for handling pdfs. I have the Adobe reader for Firefox installed.

Jquey issue in FF -- works fine in IE -- please help

Hi
I'm working on a new site which has a main advert rotator, latest offer scroller (both using cycle) and toggle effect for additional search options - in firefox I have managed to get the latest offer rotator to work on a page alone but when I combine it with the other jquery scripts it then fails to work in Firefox, but does in IE. Is there something that is a known FF issue when running more than one script? The timeout works fine in ff but the pause, prev next doesn't work and neither does the toggle containers for the forms. The page validates. Sorry the code is v. long but I can't seem to isolate the error. Any help/point in the right direction would be great. I have attached the files to this message in a zip.
Best wishes
Rachel

Hi
Thanks for your prompt reply, version 3.5.7 -- it would worry me though that people won't be able to use the scripts that have other versions, is there a way to detect and prevent the issue - that is if it is a browser version issue in the first place?

Can't open Security & Privacy preference pane?...please help.

Hi All,
I would be grateful if anyone could assist... I can't seem to open the security & privacy preference pane. I receive the following "Preferences Error" upon trying to click the icon in my system preferences:
First click: You can’t open Security & Privacy preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac.
Second click: Could not load Security & Privacy preference pane.
I noticed the issue this past week when I installed some monitor callibration software. After downloading, the software's interface text did not load (it was simply blank for the drop down menus). The manufacturer tried to help me by clearing font cache and such, but that was not the issue. When he next directed me to the S&P pane, that's when I noticed I couldn't open it to adjust anything.
* I did go into Users & Groups and created a new admin user. I was then able to open the Security & Privacy pane, and load the monitor calibration software without any problems, so it seems to be a user issue I suppose? Tried to trash some security preferences, reinstalled 10.8.2, but with no luck.
Thanks for your assistance!

Try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This does some maintenance routines and 3rd party applications don't load. Sometimes 3rd party applications are the problem. If your normal user account works in Safe Mode, it is probably a 3rd part application.

Since switching from Chrome, I can't print .pdf attachments directly from my gmail. Please help.

It used to be (in Chrome) that I could view a .pdf attachment in gmail and from there print. Now in Firefox, when I view a .pdf attachment the print option is there and the print dialogue box comes up when I click it, but once I hit "OK" nothing comes out of the printer. I can print emails and other items, so it's not a printer connectivity problem or a problem with the print setup in Firefox. The only items affected are .pdf attachments in my gmail account. I've tried switching .pdf readers and turning off Protected Mode in Adobe. Please help!

What PDF reader r u use and what version is it?

IBooks author: Can't open the file because "index.xml" is missing, please help!,

A project that I was working on yesterday and I didn't close it, today when I wanted to work on it and opened a new page there was a huge X on the page so I decided to quit ibooks then reopen it, saved all my changes first of course, but then when I tried opening it literally 10 seconds later it says the index.xml file is missing, this is my technology project due tomorrow please help!

This or a simmilar problems arose just after the last iBA update. There is a very long thread dealing with this.
I had a similar problems and nothing cured it until I contacted support and they gave me a link to upload to their server, they repaired my file and I downloaded it.
It actually took from start to finish about 2 weeks.
I "huge X" on any page usually indicates an image or similar content is missing.
The usual suggestions are to close everything down and do a re-boot.
I suggest a search of this forum for the thread may be an idea. Try this
https://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?peopleEnabled=true&userID=&containerTy pe=&container=&spotlight=false&q=index.xml+file+is+missing
If you make a copy of your book file and change .iba to .zip, you can open the file and check if the index page really is missing.

Can't open IDML files on CS6 or 5.5 Please help

I just purchased and downloaded IDCS6. I have updated all the plugins. I "saved as" IDCS4 or old, a document I was working on. Now I can't open with either version of ID. Please help! How can I get this document to open? I am using Windows, 64-bit OS

I received the .idml fileyou sent, and it won't open here, either. It looks to me as if it may not be complete. Since you didn't send the .indd file I can't do much more.
I see though that you managed to get the file to export properly. In spite of it being listed now under the Save As menu, making .idml files is an Export function and it is a background task so even though the dialog closes and you can go back to work immediately, the file may not be ready. There is a samll inidcator icon of scrolling horizontal lines that appears on the right of the Menu bar while background tasks are in progress, and you can open the Background Tasks panel from Window > Utilities for a real progress bar. I suspect you may have simply tried to open the original .idml file before it completed.
As far as opeing as Untitled, that unfortuantely, is expected behavior, and it is a pain in the neck. You are creating a new file as far as ID is concerned, so it names it Untitled. When you save, you should probably use a new name to avoid overwriting the original .indd file.

Can't open numbers document on mac!! Urgent please help

Ok so i have a macbook air mid 2012. I had to reset my laptop the other day and since then i cannot open my urgent numbers document. I need this very soon so if anyone has any idea of whats going on please help!!! When i try to open it it tells me that the document is empty or that i need to purchase it again. But i have already purchased it. I moved it to trash as well then cleared it then downloaded it again but no luck!
Thanks in Advance

Hi Salves,
Perhaps you now have two versions of Numbers on your machine, Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) and the latest version of Numbers (Numbers 3.2).
The icon on your Dock may still be pointing to Numbers 2.3 (the old version). That will not open a document that has been converted to the new version (Numbers 3.2).
Look in your Applications folder (inside a sub-folder called iWork '09) for Numbers 2.3. Do not delete this app!
Look inside your Applications folder (not a sub-folder) for Numbers. That may be Numbers 3.2 (the latest version). Drag that to your Dock.
Your Dock may now look like this:
Numbers 2.3 on the left (3 column chart);
Numbers 3.2 on the right (4 column chart).
Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.
