Documents open in reader XI, then go blank after 8 seconds. whether in IE 11, desktop file, or email

Documents open in reader XI, then go blank after 8 seconds. whether in IE 11, desktop file, or email. This happens at home or at work. I would expect that this is a common problem with a simple (to other eyes) answer

Mystery solved.
My .pdf files had been defaulting to Acrobat to open. I just designated Reader as the default for opening .pdf, and am now able to open those files normally.
Apparently, I installed Acrobat but had not yet confirmed my subscription. The installation automatically made Acrobat the default for opening .pdf files, then wouldn't allow documents to be displayed for more than a few seconds before closing itself. I assume that will no longer be the case once the bill is paid.
Thanks for your responses, Pat.

I get a blank word document opening every time i reboot my iMac after upgrading to OS Lion.

I get a blank word document opening every time i reboot my iMac after upgrading to OS Lion. ANy ideas how to get rid of it? I have uncheked everything in mu users and groups and unchecked restore windows in the general file.

When you logout did you uncheck the Reopen windows when logging back in check box at the bottom of the logout window.

Open standby read-write then flashback leaves standby in new incarnation?

Oracle 10.2.0.4 on RHEL. In February, we followed Note:805438.1 to open the standby for read-write for a test (after creating a restore point). A few minutes later, we did flashback. It ran fine ever since, receiving and applying archivelogs. Recently we noticed it stopped applying redo and this started in late June. Then I followed Note:836986.1 to roll forward the standby with incremental backup from the primary. During this process, it was found that the standby was in incarnation 2:
RMAN> list incarnation;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
List of Database Incarnations
DB Key Inc Key DB Name DB ID STATUS Reset SCN Reset Time
1 1 ORACP2 4102395133 PARENT 1 20080407 14:13:17
2 2 ORACP2 4102395133 CURRENT 44328058841 20110223 08:33:18
The solution is to set it to 1, because the primary is (and always was) 1:
reset database to incarnation 1;
The DBA team don't recall making any significant change to the standby since the February test and alert.log doesn't show anything relevant. Will "open standby read-write then flashback" leave the standby in the new incarnation, instead of setting it back to the original incarnation? We checked another database which has a standby we did the same test on. The standby is back to the original incarnation as the primary is. So there must be something special about this database.
Secondly, if the standby stayed in a newer incarnation, how could it continue to apply redo received from the primary in its original incarnation?

Thanks. Bug 6035495 is related but not exactly my case. My 10.2.0.4 standby database alert.log does not have "orphan" or "ORA-19909". But the solution is the same.
The Oracle support analyst working on my case referred me to this new note
Rman-06571: Datafile 1 Does Not Have Recoverable Copy (Doc ID 1336872.1)
(maybe he wrote it)
That's exactly what happened to me. Although flashing back the standby sets its current incarnation back (to the same as the primary), if you later run "catalog start with" on the standby, that command will change the incarnation to the later one! Since I was following Note:836986.1 to roll forward the standby, "catalog start with" was run and these lines appeared
WARNING: catalog online log file +fra/ORACP2SB/ONLINELOG/group_52.2882.708107363 is not supported
New incarnation branch detected in Backup, filename +FRA/oracp2sb/autobackup/2011_02_23/s_743848464.8985.743848467
Inspection of file changed rdi from 1 to 2
Setting recovery target incarnation to 2
Wed Jul 6 00:06:53 2011
Setting recovery target incarnation to 2
Wed Jul 6 00:10:51 2011
It appears that when "catalog" detects another (must be newer I guess?) incarnation, it blindly sets the standby database to that one. The analyst calls it "implicit catalog". It may as well be called "implicit incarnation change of catalog" or "side effec of catalog".

How to fix file when it says, "Cannot open file " ". Adobe Indesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or file may be open in another application." It worked one second, I saved and closed the file, then tried to reopen and now it won't work. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5. It is the only version on my comp. I have tried opening on another comp & copying the file – same error comes up. PLEASE HELP

First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
You can find it here:
[Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
CS7 = CC v9
CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

my email won't open-it tries and then cuts out. This is occurring with my desktop and laptop. How do it fix this?

Have you tried the usual tune-up practices -
Repair permissions, etc.?

I open my email from frontiernet (a local provider) I can read the email but when I go to reply or forward I get a Skype help page then a blank page. Therefore I can't reply or forward email.

I log-in to webmail. frontier.com and go to my inbox. I have no trouble reading my email but I cannot reply or forward. When I try to do either I get a screen that first has a Skype help page then goes blank. It says done on the bottom but there is no reply box to type in. I've never had this problem before and I've been doing this for almost 2 years on may computers. The only thing different is I had some work done and had to re-install Firefox. Could a newer version cause the problem? I do not have this problem when I use IE or am on a different computer.This was happening even before I installed Skype.

Disable the Skype extension for Firefox - both versions if you really have two versions installed.

Word 2007 - documents open in read only mode

Got a couple of users who are getting this issue. When they want to open some documents from a file share, it opens as read only (this is random) - comes up with a prompt saying that this file is locked for editing by another user. If they close
it, wait a few minutes then it opens fine and they can edit it. It has nothing to do with permissions and no one else has this document open.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply.
Anything is welcome at this point.
And yes, I did try both through PowerShell and through the Unlocker and the behavior is pretty much the same. If the item is checked in, there is no trace that it is locked, if I Check it Out (the only thing I can really do with it) it shows as "LongTerm"
but then throws the same exception
Unlocking...
Error occurred. Details:

Your changes conflict with those made concurrently by another user. If you want your changes to be applied, click Back in your Web browser, refresh the page, and resubmit your changes.

The method UpdateItemCheckoutExpiration sounds insteresting though.

Documents opening as read only

Since migrating to win 7 all word documents copied to iomega ix4-200 opening as read only--how do we fix this!
There are 4 of us using the iomega as a shared storage and it has become a real problem. We did not have this problem before win 7 and it is not happening to every single word file every time but is happening way too often. Don't know if it is a word setting issue or the Iomega not liking win 7.

Hi jwbennet, welcome to the forums,
sounds like some of the documents were possibly copied to the drive from a write protected drive similar to a closed cd or dvd; when written to cd or dvd files will become write protected.
Please try the following; click on a, or select multiple, folder(s) and right click on them, then select properties. Ensure that the Attributes - Read Only box is empty and then apply the change.
Hope this helps.

Document open in read only mode

All users who are opening documents (excel, word ). When the read-only or edit prompt comes up they click edit. When the document opens up it opens as read-only and they are unable to save thier changes.
The server is sharepoint 2010. The client is Office 2010.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Lital

I found the problem.
I had this lines in the web.config that cause the problem:
<verbs allowUnlisted="true">
<add verb="OPTIONS" allowed="false" />
<add verb="PROPFIND" allowed="false" />
</verbs>
I added them because I had problem with anonymous users with office 2013 - when they try to open document that is open for anonymous they get login screen and when they do esc the doc open.
What can I do do fix that?
Thanks!

After applying FQDN with SSL sharepoint2010 document library's document open as Read Only

Hi,
we have sharepoint server 2010 installed in windows server 2008 R2. We build a document library. After that we installed Office Web Apps. Now,edit in Browser or edit in word/excel etc. all options are working fine.
After that, we configured the site with FQDN (Fully Qualified Doman Name) with SSL. Now, the
edit in browser mode is working fine form both server and client machine (for both windows and form based users).
But, When we are trying toedit in word or other office application mode, the files open as Read Only mode (both from server and client machine).
The users cannot save the file.
After trouble shooting a lot, we found many forum says to edit windows registry or do some other operation on client machine. But, in our case it is not possible to edit registry or do some other experiment on every client's machine.
Is their any option to solve the problem from server end, so that each client automatically can open the office files on their own PC and save them to server (instead of re uploading the files to server )?
Please, help us to give the suggestion for solving our problem.
Thanks,

Is Alternate Access Mappings configured correctly? Is the behavior consistent across different browsers? What are you seeing in ULS logs when the document is being opened from the library?

Why do my Microsoft Word documents open as read-only

I am having trouble saving my Word documents as they are opening in read-only mode. I cannot find a setting to change the way my Word documents are opening.

Amy, are you reffering to the 'reading mode' in Word, which it uses when you open a Word document that was attached to a message?
There are instructions on [http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2013/06/10/disable-reading-mode-and-protected-view-in-word-2013/ how to disable that] although it's not in the scope of Thunderbird.
Hope this helps!

Fillable Reader form reverts to blank after saving

My wife received this form when applying for a state job in Oklahoma - http://www.ok.gov/health2/documents/opm-4.pdf. She completed the form then saved it. When we reopen it the data appears for an instant then disappears. You can also see the old data by clicking File > Revert but the data still shows up for just an instant and it goes right back to a blank form.
For reference I am using Reader 11.03, Windows 7. I have also tried this in the Nitro Reader 3 and get the same result. I am not opening the document in a browser.
I contact the person that sent this form to us and she reports that she hears the complaint frequently.
Any idea how I stop the form from hiding the data upon reopening?

I downloaded the form from your link, and the same thing happened to me. Stranger, even, the original form was 816KB; after saving it with data, it was only 104KB.
Something is definitely wrong with that form, but I couldn't tell you what.
I would just send them the filled-in form; maybe the people who created it can read the data in it?

When I open firefox the address bar remains blank after a website is loaded from favorites.

I open Firefox and the open window is blank (as it should be, because I have set my Preferences to open firefox with a blank window.
Then I select a Bookmarked website from my Bookmarks Toolbar, which opens then opens that website in the window fine.
BUT, the Address Bar remain blank. It does not display the URL of the web page that has been opened from the Bookmark. Why not? Firefox always did this in the past, but this problem has existed since the last few updates, and still does now on the latest v22.0 for MAC.
If I open another blank TAB, then switch back to the first tab, the URL of the first tab does appear. But what a pain. I shouldn't have to open another tab, then switch back to the first tab, just for the URL to appear in the address bar.
I can't believe this problem has existed for so long now over at least 2 or more version upgrades.
Please fix.

I was not able to reproduce your problem using Firefox 22.0 for OS X (running OS X 10.8).
There might be an extension at fault here. You can try and launch Firefox in Safe mode to try and eliminate possible causes.
You can aslo take a look at this page: http://mzl.la/MnSTZB

I am having trouble with an excel file wanting to save when no changes were made & opening as read only for the 2nd person - but allowing them to save the file.

1) I am having trouble with an excel file wanting to save when no changes were made. As soon as you open the file and exit. It prompts for a save.
All excel versions are 15.0.4701.1002.
Using a table.
the functions CELL, OFFSET, TODAY, INDIRECT, NOW, INFO and RAND are not being used.
2) Same file. 2nd person is being told they are opening the file as read only - but when they are quitting excel prompts them to save the file.
Everything was working fine. I started having problems with Excel, IT wiped my version out and re-installed office.
File is on networked server HP - Windows Server 2012 Essentials.
We are all on Windows 8.1 Pro.
I really hope someone can help - the excel expert had no answer - and passed me along to here.

I copied the whole file and started deleting worksheets one at a time and testing it by closing it and re-opening it then closing it again – to see if it wanted to save.
Once all the pivot tables were deleted – the problem went away.
I found that some of the pivot tables had automatic refresh upon open, so this caused the excel to think data had changed.
It is fixed now. By clicking on one cell of the pivot table, analyze, options, data and uncheck the 3<sup>rd</sup> square down to not automatically refresh. NOT A NETWORK ISSUE.
