Error when i try to open any quicktime file...

First it comes up with the error for that file like
Alert
Quicktime cannot open the file:
"Prison.break.S01E10.HDTV.Xvid.LOL.avi"
an unknown error has occured (-1856)
then i press ok then a second error comes up
Alert
Quicktime cannot open the file: "trampoline.mov"
an unknown error has occured (-1856)
and i have only tried to open the first file, not the second.

You probably need the XVID codec to view that .avi
file.
The trampoline.mov is inside the QuickTime Player
app. It is used to "bounce" you to the online Content
Guide. You can turn this feature off in the QT
Preferences. Remove the check mark to show the
Content Guide.
Does DivX for Mac play thys type of file?
Cheers,
Paulo

When I try to open any PDF files or Adobe Reader I get "an internal error has occured" message.

I have a PC running Windows 7. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have tried deleting the registry files and reinstalling. I have tried to right click on the Adobe Icon and run Troubleshoot Compatability but also receive the same message. When I click on error details it says Error Code: 0x80070005. Any thoughts? I am not very technical and this is the limit of experience. Thank you.

Try disabling Protected Mode; download, unzip, then run the registry script from https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/71bd7776-d0e3-47fe-a5d6-1e75a0373eb1

Why cant I open any pdf file from websites? I can open pdf files that I have downloaded.

When I try to open any pdf file that is on a website I can not open it. I have no problems with any pdf file that I have downloaded. I have Adobe X...... my OS is Windows 7 and I have upgraded to Firefox 4

What happens when you try? Have you saved to your computer and then tried to open it?

When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Is there any way to correct this problem?

When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website using Safari, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." When I save the same PDF file using FireFox it opens up immediately. Is there any way to correct this problem with Safari?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

When openning a PDF file, a new tab will open but it will be blank, it does not download or open any pdf files, this just started the last 3 days....!!!!

Hi,
I am on the verge of deleting Firefox from my computer as it has wasted hours of my time, and none of the online trouble-shooting answers are of any help.
Until recently I could open PDF files in my browser window, and today its impossible to open any pdf file, it will not even download if I choose to download it.
This issue has been going on and off for nearly a year, and I downloaded Nitro PDF add-on to solve it previously as the Adobe reader add-on didn't do anything. Today In the options menu of applications where I can select the program I want to open the PDF files with I can no longer find the NitroPDF reader as an option, so I choose the Adobe add-on and no matter how many re-starts it refuses to initiate any PDF files, all I get is a open and empty new tab.
Internet explorer opens PDF files fine, so I know its not computer related.
I am running Windows Vista Ultimate, Firefox Version 19.0.
If there is a way of fixing this, please help because currently I am at the end of my patience.
Regards,
Emre

Hey thanx for the help, it worked like a charm.
I think firefox changed the application lay out, as I used to be able to choose my PDF opener from the list at " Adobe Acrobat Forms Document' where I could choose Nitro-PDF reader, but it has now moved all the way to the bottom like you suggested to the obvious place of "Portable Document Format" section.
If someone didn't tell me , I wouldn't have scrolled all the way down to be able to find it... it really should be with all its cousins up the top...
Cheers again..

From the Javascript console I get the above whenever I open any PDF file from Acrobat XI Pro.
I'm at version 11.0.7.
Where is the source of this problem ?
A search for InitializeFormsTrackerJS shows no hits in the Javascript folder.

Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

Hey ilyaz20360341,
Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
Hope to get your response.

I installed Adobe over a month ago when prompted that my trial was expired. We pay 19.99 a month, and when signed in it states our next payment is due Feb 5, 2015. Yesterday I got a prompt that my trial was expired and I couldn't open any pdf files anymore. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked all morning until just now, now it is prompting me that the trial is expired AGAIN. What do I do to fix this permanently??

You installed Adobe what? Assuming that perhaps you have a subscription for Acrobat XI Pro, I will move your post to the appropriate forum. You could also try to Contact Customer Care.

You need to get a new copy of the PDF.

After up grading to Adobe Reader XI why can't I open any PDF files?

I am running windows vista and had been using Adobe Reader 8 - when I upgraded, can not open any PDF files. When I attempt to open a PDF file, I receive the following messages:
Update available
Please take a few seconds to update Adobe AIR and get the very latest features. Acrobat.com cannot continue until you update Adobe AIR.
after attemptng to down load the "update" I receive the following message.
Sorry, an error has occurred
This application requires an update to Adobe AIR but downloading that update was not successful.
I have uninttalled all of my Adobe freeware & reinstalled statring with "adobe AIR" then "adobe Reader" and then attempted to opne a PDF file only to see the same message

Agein after attemptng to down load the "update" I receive the following message.

Thank you Pat,
I have already been there done that. I first Un-installed all of my adobe freeware (reader, flash player, air. etc) then started reinstalling. First I reinstalled reader (latest version Reader X), same error messages. added AIR (latest version not listed - Last updated April 1st, 2012 -
maybe that should tell me something), same error messages. I un-installed these two and reinstalled AdobeFlash Player,Adobe Shockwave Player,&Adobe Media Player, verifying that each worked after each reinstall of the next program everything was OK until I put Reader back on (NOTE: I dug all the way back to version 8 & still had the problem). for some unknown reason I finally right clicked on a PDF file on my desk top & was greeted with a the drop menu & he option of "open with" for fun I clicked on the "open with" & found that I had two options the first was a white Icon with the Stylized A and labeled Acrobat.com the second was the normal red Icon we all know & live
when I reset the default to the normal red Icon everything began to work just as I have always had adobe reader work. Now I have no clue how or when I picked up the "Acrobat.com" program even worse it does not show up under programs on the control panel. When I have a few moments this evening, I will run a search for "Acrobat.com" & hopefully be able to remove it from my computer.
Bottom line I don't know how I got the program which seems to have caused the breakdown of adobe reader but by resetting the default program to open PDF files it is now working as it should
Thanks for the suggestion.
Sincerely,
Richard L. Cornick
