FF will no longer ask me before trying to open Acrobat files, and will not ask me to save them either. How can I restore the ability to see pdf's with FF?

I have Acrobat 6.0 Professional installed on my PC (Vista-64) and after the last FF update, it will no longer open or allow me to view pdfs. "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
Under "Options" I set my preference with pdfs to "Always Ask" but the documentation on FF states that it will attempt to open the file first, before asking me to save it, which basically means that it will never ask me to save it - just ask me to exit the browser and Acrobat. I have not been able to access PDF content on FF since, and will have to change to Chrome this evening, since I utilize pdf content often.

  • A gap between letters started to show in my indesgn files. tried to undo with tracking, the paragraph settings. nothing helped. it ruins the fluent view of the document. how can i restore the program so that doesn't happen?

    a gap between letters started to show in my indesign files. tried to undo with tracking, then with the paragraph settings. nothing helped. it ruins the fluent view of the document. how can i restore the program so that doesn't happen?
    for example: say i write a paragraph. then, in a weird some sort of way an involuntary gap suddenly appears between different letters of random words(i did not recognize any pattern to the gap appearing) throughout the entire paragraph. once i've double clicked on that paragraph, and made a minor change, lets say tapped a 'space' key, and then clicked ctrl+z to undo, it has aligned(or fixed) the entire paragraph and made it look ok again. i've tried numerous ways to undo the entire thing, but cannot find the reason. i've been working for a few years and there's no reason why this thing all of a sudden should happen right now.
    if anyone has stumbled on something like that and can advise, i would welcome it.

    yep...i'm typing with hebrew. i'll make a printscreen with the settings you've asked for@:
    if you look closely you'll see that almost every line has a single letter apart. in hebrew there is no usually a singe letter structured words.

  • HT204150 i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad?

    i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
    thanks roy

    There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes.  Look for that.
    iCloud does not store music.  If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

  • I'm trying to install bootcamp and XP, but when keyboard does't work. How can I eject the disc?

    How can I eject the disc and start over and get into the OSX system?

    XP isn't supported in BootCamp, you'll have to use the free VirualBox or one of the other commercial virtual machine softwares to run it in a window on OS X. The performance isn't going to be good enough for 3D games or heavy CPU ones, but good enought for most general use software.
    Apple doesn't supply the hybrid MBR and hardware drivers required to run XP in BootCamp any longer. If you were on Snow Leopard 10.6 it's still possible, but not Lion or Mountain Lion.
    This is what you do to resolve your problem.
    1: Hold the power button down to force a hardware shutdown (emergency use only use the Apple Menu > shutdown all other times)
    2: Press and hold the option/alt key on the keyboard.
    3: Boot the computer and enter Startup Manager
    4: Keep pressing the eject key on the keyboard, the disk will eject.
    5: Select OS X to boot from by clicking on the volume and the little arrow that appears.
    6: Set Startup Disk in System Preferences  to OS X.
    7: Head to BootCamp Utility and use it to remove the BootCamp partition.
    8: If you used Disk Utility, then use that to remove the second partition and absorb the remaining space back into the OS X partition.
    9: Install VirtualBox, if on 10.8 you migh have to control/right click and "Open" to bypass Gatekeeper controls for the installer and/or program at least once.
    10: Read the instructions how to setup and use VirtualBox.

  • Trying to create a book and have sorted 900 photos in manual order...the book application resorts my photos and i have to search 900 photos each time. how can i set the sorting

    trying to create an Aperture book and have sorted 900 photos in manual order...the book application resorts my photos and i have to search 900 photos each time to place a photo. how can i set the sorting to stay in my manual setup?

    1.  If you manually sort Images in a Project, and then create a new Book w. "Include selected Images" checked, your manual sort order will be preserved.
    2.  As a workaround for when you have already created a Book, batch rename your Images with a leading index or counter after setting the order manually.  You'll have to create a Naming Preset, e.g.: "{Index}_{Version Name}".  The renaming should go in the order that you selected the Images, so be sure to select the first one first, and then use "Edit→Select all" to extend the selection to all Images.  Once the Images are in your Book, a sort on Version Name should be the same as the manual sort you created.
    3.  At the risk of stating the obvious, you could create the Book, import the Images, and then sort them.  The Book -- it is, to Aperture, just a special kind of Album -- retains its own manual sort order.  I recommend using Albums this way.  Use Projects to cull and develop Images, and use Albums for output.  Sorting for a Book (or any output) is better done in the container devoted to that output (and not in the Project, which is more general).

  • How can I restore the 'Don't Ask Me Again' popup in the error reporter?

    I accidentally hit the option in the error reporter so that it sends out information without asking. I'd prefer to have the always ask option. How can I reset the preference?

    First check the following setting. In the Tools menu select Options. In the Options dialog go to the General panel and make sure the setting "When Firefox Starts" is not set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", you can set it to either of the other 2 choices.
    Now reset the 3 preferences that relate to warning when closing Firefox.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Find the following 3 preferences, right-click on them and choose '''Reset''' (if reset is not available they will already be at their default value)
    ## browser.tabs.warnOnClose
    ## browser.warnOnQuit
    ## browser.warnOnRestart

  • Since upgrade to os5 video files from emails can no longer be viewed, they are downloaded as before, but I am no longer asked which program to open file with.  I used Azule without problems before os5' now os5 tries to open video file and stalls.  Any fix

    Os5 must have changed playback functionality of video files, it tries to play .wmv files, but crashes...it shows "loading", but nothing happens.  Before update it would prompt me to choose an app to show the file, Azule worked great, but now it doesn't offer to chose an app.
    How do I fix this?

    Indeed you were right. I though that in single mode all services were not started, but apparently I was mistaken.
    However, as I feared, there seemingly is no useful info in it.

  • I am trying to edit VOB files and Photoshop cs6 ext. won't accept them.

    I am trying to edit some VOB files from my daughter's wedding CD.  But Photoshop won't accept that format.  I read that I could just change the extension to AVI  and drag them in.  I did that and it opened  them but the video and audio didn't sync.  The size was distorted but I figured out that I could change the aspect ratio to widescreen from the view menu which looks pretty normal.  But I see black lines on the sides of the video.   What do I have to do to be able to edit the video??
    Thanks

    VOBs are multiplexed MPEG-2 DVD files and they adhere therefore to the DVD spec - 720x576 pixels, 1.43 pixel aspect ratio. Anyway, you are wasting your time. The files will need to be converted in an external tool to be usable in PS and even then the question is how much sense it makes to edit video in Photoshop, especialyl when it contains audio. Premiere or other edit programs would be much more adequate.

  • Mail app on iPad2 crashed after trying to send doc from goodnotes. How can i restore the mail app?

    Hi,  I have a problem with my mail app: after exporting a rather big pdf (10mb) from GoodNotes to email (which tried to open an email in the built-in mail app, the mail app crased and only shows a white screenwhen opening it. Settings for the mail app does not respond either and every app that tries to open an email (e.g. Goodnotes, or browser opening  a mailTo link, freezes when trying to open a mail. As mail is a built in app, i can also not delete it ... Anybody has a hint for me? Many thanks for your help!!  Greets Sven

    First of all quit the mail app and all of the apps that have frozen. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the mail app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the app. Close the other apps the same way. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    What I would try next is to delete the email on the server in your web mail account using Safari or another browser. Then when you go back to the mail app - if it opens ok - and the if mesaage is still there in the inbox - swipe on the mesaage - left to right - in the list on the left side - and hopefully the red delete button will pop up. Hit delete to remove it from the inbox. Do the same thing when you go to your trash folder in that email account - swipe the message to delete it.

  • Adobe tries to open all programs and con not be uninstall

    Hi, I am using Windows XP and I installed Adobe Reader X 10.1.3 But after I installed Adobe, I could not open any files except the ones on desktop. I can not use any of them from Start or Control Panel. I tried to uninstall Adobe from Control Panel>Default Programs>Program Install/Unistall but still tries to open with Adobe. Is there any other way that I can uninstall?

    It seems that the file association for .exe and .cpl may have been corrupted (and are now pointing to Adobe Reader).
    Can you open Windows Explorer, or does it give you the same problem?
    When did this start?  Can you possibly do a System Restore to a date before it started?
    This may be quite difficult to solve if you cannot open any .exe or .cpl files.
