Firefox 18.0.1 will not download .pdf from internet, add-on incompatible with Acrobat X

The Add-Ons manager says: Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1 (disabled)
All that happens now is that, when I click on a PDF Google result, a page with the correct URL opens, but no file is downloaded. If I use Quick View, however, I go to the PDF on the site. If I click Download Original, I just get the blank page again. Any ideas?

I don't use the Downloads folder. Everything just goes straight to the desktop. I checked the Downloads window, however, and there is no sign of a download there. On the other hand, I have just successfully downloaded two PDF files from Gmail which are in the window, so now I have no idea what is going on :o(

    Hello mjhardy,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error while downloading apps. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

  • My Ipod nano 5th gen lost all of my podcasts and will not download anything from ITunes

    All my content on my Ipod nano 5th ed disappeared, and it will not download anything from ITunes.  I restoered original content. My operating system is up to date.  My capacity is 8 gigs.  What more should I do?

    The title says "iPod nano 5th gen" but your message says "iPod classic". There is a forum for the iPod classic, if that is what you have.

    2009 MacBook Pro eh? It looks like your hard drive has failed. Three years is pretty standard. Often, then only hint you have is catastrophic failure.
    If you put the old hard drive into an external enclosure or similar device, you may still be able to migrate your data from it. Just because it won't boot doesn't mean you can't still read from it. Still, I wouldn't keep trying it. As long as you are buying a new hard drive, may as well get sometime to use with Time Machine too.

  • Firefox Top Sites page will not download

    My Firefox, OSX, and Adobe Flashplayer software systems are all up to date.  The issue is that the Top sites page on Firefox will not download.  All that appears is a blank gray screen. 
    Please advise.

    Can you start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> by holding down the Shift/Options key?
    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Reader X will not download PDFs

    Until recently Reader (don't know the version) was able to download PDFs from all of my 3rd party service providers' websites (e.g. banks, Amazon, NetGear, etc.)  After a recent upgrade, it will not do so.  The download, print, up/down, etc. shortcuts on the toolbar and headers are all "dead."  I can right-click on the body of an online PDF and "print" the PDF . . . Not a great solution when you want to keep the PDF on your machine for future reference . . . but downloading is impossible.
    I have tried the fixes I found in the Forums (e.g. "display only" in Internet Option).  They do not fix the problem.
    Have DOWNgraded to Reader v9.4 and that works properly.
    Any suggestions?

    OK - probloem now solved:
    I uninstalled Reader X and Acrobat X Pro.
    Rebooted PC,
    Re-installed my Acrobat X Pro.
    And now I ma back to normal - can click on PDFs & they open - hurray!!
    Simple - I should have done this a couple of days ago.  But with so many listings saying it didn't work for them I didn't go that route... 
    Glad I changed my mind & gave it a go now.

  • I am wanting to update my Firefox browser but it will not download keeps saying file corrupt download extract failed. Im currently using Windows XP. Please help.

    Hi. I am currently using an old Firefox browser on Windows XP. I have attempted to update to the latest version but it keeps failing - download extractions fail. The file shows as corrupt and will not download or install.

    Try to download Firefox here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.6.6&os=win&lang=en-US
    http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.6/win32/en-US/
    You can also try to disable the real-time file check in your anti-virus software during the download and installation of Firefox.
    Do not forget to re-enable once you're done.

  • Iphone will not download music from icloud

    I have a iphone 5, that is running with on 7.1.2. I have 2.0 GB of space available and about 12 songs that will not download. I have recently been getting the problem that I will buy songs from itunes, but after syncing my iphone to my computer, some of the songs (at random) will be in the cloud. This will include some songs I have bought both on the phone itself and on the computer. While all is good on my itunes on my computer, the music on my phone will not download so I can listen to them. If I click the icloud button, I get the spinning circle showing that it is thinking about downloading, but then the icloud button will reappear. It is the same over wifi or data. First it was just one random song out of 10 songs bought, but over the months it has grown. The latest has included not downloading a full album as seen below.

    Even when I sync my phone, the music still remains in the cloud on my phone.
    I am not using match.

  • My phone will not download music from my itunes

    the last few months I have not been able to load checked artists, music or talks.

    That is very vague.
    Will not download what music?
    If you have already downloaded it on your computer, then you cannot download it again.  You ned to sync from your computer.
    Perhaps if you explained what you are talking about, someone could help.

  • My LG Cosmos Touch will not download pictures from texts anymore

    For the last couple of weeks..my phone will not download pictures or texts containing a lot of bytes...according to Verizon...this phone is designed to only accept up to 3500 bytes and all the newer phones send texts with pic about 30,000 bytes....and there is no solution beyond getting a newer phone..but I do not want to pay for an internet plan...so..is there any other way to get my phone to download these things sent to me? And yes..I have taken out battery as was instructed...just hoping there is a solution that this verizon rep does not know about...I feel like this is gonna be like the Daily Scoop issue....

    Hi obrnlori,
    I am happy to provided you with an alternate way to view your pictures until you decide to upgrade to a new phone. I would suggest forwarding the picture to your free Pix Place account on our web site. Here is some information to assist you with establishing an account and transferring pictures to Pix Place  Additionally, you can also forward the picture directly to your e-mail address and view the picture via your PC.  I am hopeful this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any additional concern.

  • Downloading PDF from internet

    I would like to download a PDF file from the Internet
    "sometimes"
    I get a message in Adobe Reader as follows
    Adobe Reader could not open ____because it is either not a
    supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was
    sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)
    I have downloaded it to my Desktop and tried opening it from the website
    I have Adobe Reader 9.3
    this last time someone from the website sent the same PDF file to me in an e-mail and it opened peoperly

    This is the site
    http://www.hanp.net/volumes/current
    there is a highlighted area that indicates
    download PDF
    I had contacted someone associated with the website above and he indicated he had no trouble opening the PDF file on the site.  He sent it to me in an email attachment, and I was able to open it in Adobe without a problem
    Thank you for looking into it for me

  • Safari Will Not Download pdfs: On One Site and from One Computer Only

    On only one computer, at only one web site (my own creation), I suddenly cannot get pdfs to open in Safari 4.0. What might be happening?
    1. I have created 5 web sites for my business. I use RapidWeaver from RealMacSoftware.
    2. Each of the 5 sites I’ve created has downloadable pdfs.
    3. Two of the sites are password protected, but this does not appear to be the source of the problem.
    4. One of these two protected sites (Site A) will not open any pdfs on the site in a Safari browser window on my Intel iMac running 10.5.7. When I click on a pdf link in Safari, I get the gray spinning wheel on a white page (which does not stop after 10+ minutes). If I try to reload the page, a white page results. Trying any other pdf link on this site produces nothing but a white page.
    5. If I option-click on the link, the pdf downloads fine, but I then have to open it. It does not open in Safari, but rather Reader.
    6. This behavior does not occur on two other Macs in my office. One, a MacBook Pro running 10.5.7 and Safari 4.0, opens the pdfs in Safari just fine. Another, a G5 running Tiger with Safari 4.0, also works fine. (FWIW: No problems on Dell running XP Home, via either Explorer or Firefox.)
    7. The behavior also does not occur on the other protected site I have created (Site B) or on any of the other unprotected sites. All computers, all browsers—no problems.
    8. I have the latest Adobe Reader version (9.1.2).
    9. I have repaired permissions and restarted—no luck.
    10. I have republished Site A through RapidWeaver, but there is no change. My web host had a power failure a day or two ago, but all sites were up and running yesterday.
    Any clues about what’s going on? I have intentionally not downloaded the apparently available Safari version 4.0.1 because of the several problems reported on the boards.
    Message was edited by: Richard Setterberg

    I tried logging in to the guest account and got a slightly different result: Two of the five websites I've created with RapidWeaver now do not display pdfs using the Adobe Reader plugin.
    The common thread now is that the two that don't work are the password protected sites. When I boot back into my main account, the original problem returns: Only one site doesn't work; the other one does.
    Still only on one computer.

  • Having upgarded to Firefox 5 my desktop will not download from the Internet, it's working on my lap top with the same version and Norton 360

    I am trying to download a System scan from http://www.crucial.com/uk/systemscanner/ but its only downloading the shortcut logo, not the scan. It works on my Laptop with the same Firefox upgrades and Norton 360. This has only happened since I upgraded to V5.0

    Hi Mac Attack,
    My computer will not disconnect from the internet.  It seems to find a clone router and continues even when I shut down and unplug my my own home iy
    Your main question was 'chopped' in the title. Please reply in the body of a reply box with the full question and anything you have tried. And no, the long report was not helpful .
    If the same website is opening each time you launch a browser (Safari?) hold down the shift key as you launch to prevent previous pages from opening.
    Have a look at your settings in Safari > Preferences. Especially General and Privacy.
    Reset Safari to remove cookies and other stored data.
    System Preferences > General
    Have a look at your settings in System Preferences >  Security & Privacy.
