Cannot open Reader on Ipad

I've been having problems with  the AR app on my IPad - the first I've ever had. In the last few days I've tried to open the app but all I get is a blank page - a gray column on the left and a white space on the right, nothing more. I've tried deleting and re-installing AR but to no avail. I have not updated to iOS 8 yet. What's worse, nothing seems to have been backed up to iCloud. Any insight would be most helpful, thanks!

cv67,
Does Adobe Reader for iOS disappear after a while or just sit there displaying the "blank page" permanently?
Is your iPad a "Wi-Fi only" or "Wi-Fi + Cellular" model?
We have heard of some Wi-Fi connectivity issues from the users with the "Wi-Fi + Cellular" model and iOS 8 (but not iOS 7).
I've tried opening PDF documents online...
Do you first open a PDF document in Safari on your iPad then choose "Open In" to open it in Adobe Reader for iOS?
I tried the following steps on my iPad.
Open the following PDF document (which is relatively small in file size) in Safari.
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/creativecloud/cc/pdfs/cc-enterprise-ove rview-ue.pdf
Tap "Open In" and select Adobe Reader for iOS.
It opened successfully in Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.6.4 for me.  I used an iPad 2 (Wi-Fi only, no Cellular) running iOS 7.1.2.
Could you try opening the PDF document above to see if it works for you?  You can also try opening it in iBooks instead.  (The result will tell you if the problem happens only with Adobe Reader for iOS or not.) The PDF document that you are trying to open may be too large or your Internet connection via WiFi/Cellular may be too slow.
Unfortunately, it is hard to diagnose the problem because I cannot take a look at your iPad in person.  Your help and patience would be appreciated.
Here are a couple of things that you could try.
Turn Settings > Wi-Fi off and on.
Reset or restart your iPad. See Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Terminate the Adobe Reader app by pressing the home button twice and swipe up the app.  Then launch it again to see if it starts without opening a PDF document.
Download your PDF document on a Mac or Windows computer, transfer the PDF document to your iPad using iTunes, and open it in Adobe Reader for iOS.
See the "How to transfer PDF documents from your computer to your iPad/iPhone" section in How to backup and restore PDF documents on your iPad/iPhone using iTunes
The last option is obviously not a feasible solution for a long term.  There is another option for "Reset Network Settings", if you suspect that your problem is caused by bad Internet connectivity.  But it is rather time-consuming to re-enter network configuration information.  So let's leave it as the last resort.
Please let us know if any of the above works for you.
Lastly, regarding your iCloud backup problem, is it configured to back up automatically?
iCloud: Back up your iOS device to iCloud
iCloud - Backup - Apple Support
It is an Apple issue, if iCloud backup is not working.
Please note that if you uninstall any iOS app, the associated app data (local files, preferences, etc. that are locally stored on your iPad) will be erased by iOS.  You can restore everything (including app data) from iCloud if you have made a backup automatically or manually before.

    Hi TheMom1999,
    Do you mean that you are unable to open the pdf files via Reader?
    Which OS are you using? Have you updated Reader o v. 11.0.7 and checked?
    Was it working fine for you before?

  • Cannot open page on iPad 2 when I try to download Apple apps

    When I try to get an app I get a message that the page cannot be opened, Safari does not recognize the address but I am in apple.com?

    I was looking for a solution to the problem I was having with syncing apps and downloading them. It is pretty hard to find the correct wording to say what you are looking for. My problem was that if I wanted to download a app from the app store it would say "safari cannot open the page because it is invalid", also when I would go into the iPad via cpu and try from there it was all gray and I could not do anything with it.
    Your solution was my solution, thank you for that.

  • Cannot open movie on ipad

    I purchased a movie on Itunes and try to sync to ipad.  It give me a CANNOT OPEN message when i try to play it.  I have never had this message with any other movies i have purchased in the itunes store.  Does anybody have a fix for this?
    Thank you

    I wiped my iphone as there was an issue with the audio.
    Decided not long after to wipe my laptop also.
    I downloaded my purchases back onto my laptop.  Tried to sync, and got the same error.
    Deleted the purchases from my iphone.  Went into Itunes on the iphone and downloaded a purchase right on the iphone.  Same problem.
    Any solution for that?  It is happening with more than one movie.  In particular, The fast & the furious, the fast and the furious: tokyo drift.
    Some movies work, like Fast & Furious (the fourth installment).
    I have unlimited bandwidth so I don't care how many ways or times I have to try to get this to work again on my iphone, but please there needs to be a solution.

  • Cannot open Reader program, no error messages (Windows XP, SP3)

    Hello all! I am hoping someone can provide a solution to my frustration....
    Earlier this summer I was having some computer trouble. The computer was under warranty - HP came out and changed the memory and system board.
    I have not been having any issues except for ONE thing - I cannot open Adobe Reader to view PDF files. Any PDF files on my system show the Adobe icon, but when clicking on a PDF file or the application itself, nothing happens. The hourly glass shows up briefly and then goes away, but otherwise, nothing.
    Temporarily, I got by using another PDF reader. Unfortunately, some of our business systems only work with Adobe, so getting Adobe to work is now critical.
    What I have tried (with no luck):
    1) Uninstalled Reader, did a system search to remove all Reader files, re-installed latest version
    2) Searched the Adobe community and other internet sites for help - tried a Microsoft fix, Adobe cleaner program, went into the Program Files menu to accept the user agreement, etc.
    3) Installed earlier verions (9.5, and then 7.0)
    Any other ideas? I called back HP, and they tried to be helpful but said it was a software issues since all other programs were running successfully. They suggested I re-install the operating system!
    Thank you for your help.

    I would recommend adding 4 GB more, you need at least 4GB-6GB for R12 only (not including the OS).

  • Mavericks cannot open/read RAW files

    Just upgraded to new MacBook Air with Mavericks. Moved my photo library over, and cannot read any of my RAW photo files (neither Canon CR2 nor Nikon NEF).
    System is up to date, including latest Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update (5.04). Based on several posts I found, I already tried to remove the Camera Raw Update and install older versions, restarting the machine. No change.
    OS (Mavericks) does not open/read the files with either Preview or Quicklook - shows a black background. Applications don't open/read them either (tried both Aperture - which says "unsupported image format" despite rebuilding the library and trying all other things - and iPhoto - which also just shows a black background image), but since Preview doesn't even work, it's clearly an OS problem.
    I'm very frustrated... Most grateful for any suggestions.

    btw - i also seem to be missing the "Raw.plist" file. does anyone know where it is? it used to be under "/System/Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle/Contents/Resources/Raw.plist" but it's no longer there. I imagine this may be related.

  • Cannot open Reader 80. or uninstall or re-install over existinge 8.0

    Here's the window message I get when I try to open Reader 8.0, "Problem with Shortcut" Then in the window, "This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, if not contact..."
    I get the same message when I try to uninstall through Add or Remove Programs in XP Pro.
    When I try to download it over the existing install I get a message telling me "Adobe Reader 8.1.2", "Error 1714. The older version of 8.1.2 cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group."
    Please help.

    Follow the advice of "expert user"!
    I have just gone through the same problem of uninstalling reader in order to re-install it. The MS Windows Installer Cleanup Utility worked perfectly. Other attempts manually removing as suggested in Adobe's kb400769 had already failed.

  • Cannot open reader 10.1.3

    I cannot open the reader....everytime it starts to open I get "Adobe has stopped working" I have installed and unistalled several times, still the same thing. I'm running windows 7....can anyone help?

    Hi dpete3,
    Do you have any plug-in installed for Adobe Reader?
    If yes, please try the following:
    1. Uninstall Adobe Reader and delete the following folders if they are present:
              - c:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0
              - c:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\ARM
    2. Then install Reader again from : http://get.adobe.com/reader/
    If this doesn't help, then go to-> C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader, Right click on Reader.exe and then click "Run as Administrator".
    Also which antivirus are you using and is your windows 64-bit?
    Are you able to other files like excel, doc files?

    Try this first - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Acrobat 8.1.3 installed.  Cannot open Reader 9

    I am trying to open a tax form online that requires Reader 9. I've got Acrobat 8.1.3 installed. I've also installed reader 9, but the form reports that the version is 8.1.3 and asks me to update again. When I try to open Reader 9 from the start menu, Acrobat 8.1.3 opens.
    This is on a work PC (XP SP3) so I probably have a commercial license and I can't uninstall or upgrade Acrobat. How can I force the document to open in Reader instead of Acrobat?

  • Cannot open hotmail in ipad

    Hi for 2 days now I cannot use hotmail from Mail. Error message said no connection to server. I tried to open from safari and got the same error. There is no problem opening in iPhone. How can resolve problem on ipad please?

    What happens if you tap the home button from that page? 
    I think you must have push turned on for your mail, and that is the first thing it is trying to do.  But from anyscreen, any time, if you hit the home button, it should return you to the home screen.  From there, go to settings and do the work on the mail section.
