    What model year Mac and what version of OS X are you running.
    If this is on an older Mac with standard Rotating HDD it could be a sign the HDD is either to full of data or it is starting to fail. It could also be caused by 3rd party software you've installed.

    TonyE is correct the plugin version comes with Adobe's Reader X.
    The failure in communication is two parted:
    1. Reader X is not Acrobat (Mozilla Plugin Checker)
    2. Acrobat is not mentioned in the Reader X download Page (Adobe)
    therefore confused clients.
    For readers '''CAUTION''' check the minimum requirements for Reader X.
    Here: [http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/tech-specs.html Adobe's Reader X requirements link]
    Do not waste the time to download (80+MB and Site is Slow) if your machine does not have the resources to execute it. ie. '''aging''' Hardware
    Unfortunately the Adobe DLM only checks the requirements after it has
    downloaded BEFORE the install occurs.
    This is '''very expensive''' for both the sender and receiver
    It might be why they called it READER X and READER 9 will not sense an update...

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Need to open my keynote 08 files in my iPad2, my MBP runs on OS10.4.11, does it means that i have to upgrade my OS, to upgrade to keynote 09, and then export it to mi iPad?

    I need to open my keynote 08 files in my iPad2, my MBP runs on OS10.4.11, does it means that i have to upgrade my OS, to upgrade to keynote 09, and then export it to mi iPad?

    Bad news...
    Although your answer gave me hope...and so said the Apple website...that i can buy the iWork 09 package in any Apple store, it is not true...
    I live in China...170 km from the closest Apple store...so, i took the train and flew to Apple's Pudong Store...where they told me they don't sell the actual DVD software...just by Appstore...
    So here i am...trying to figure out how to translate my Keynotes from my Tiger OS MBP, to my iPad...
    Is Aple responsible enough to offer software that is not on their stores?...or...not giving me any solution, since i don't own a credir card?...
    So ****** off...
    Anyway..thanks for your reply...as i said...it gave some hope....for a while
    Cheers!

  • I upgraded to Firefox 4. Whenever I click on the firefox icon, msg appears - "ug-in object: TypeError: id] is undefined". Only when I click OK will Firefox open up and then work as per normal. How do I get rid of error msg.

    I use an iMac OS X 10.6.7. After I upgraded to Firefox 4, this problem occurs.
    Whenever I click on Firefox icon, message appears - "ug-in object: TypeError: id] is undefined". Only after I click "OK" in the error message, does Firefox open it and I can use it to browse as per normal.
    I notice it took a long time to open up some websites.

    That indicates that you are using an add-on that is not compatible with Firefox 4. For details of how to troubleshoot this to find out what one is causing the problem see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  • Macbook has become very slow, i get the rainbow wheel whenever i click on something, i can barely do anything!

    My macbook pro has slowly been getting worse over the last few months, it takes ages to load up when i turn it on, and whenever i try to click on something (google chrome, itunes, etc) i get the rainbow wheel for an unknown amount of time, its so slow! i can barely do anything on it, im having to upload this question on my ipod because i cant use my mac, ive had the mac for about 4 years, and i dont think its anything to do with the memory, any help would be very grateful!

    Sounds like it might be your hard drive.
    Go to Applications -> Disk Utility, select your hard drive, and click on the "Info" button and see what is reported for your S.M.A.R.T status at the bottom of the screen:

  • Firefox is freezing everytime I click on something no matter the page.

    It doesn't matter what website I am using everytime I click on something, it loads the page correctly and then says (not responding) for 2 to 3 minutes. It hasn't crashed so far, but I am not a big fan of waiting.

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • Whenever I click on something whether on line or in a document, a pop-up appears asking what I want to do, e.g., copy, cut, etc.  How do I stop these pop-ups?

    henever I click on something whether on line or in a document, a pop-up appears asking what I want to do, e.g., copy, cut, etc.  How do I stop these pop-ups?

    That's normal right-click behavior, if it's happening when you left-click, the first thing to check would be whether the setting got reversed in System Preferences > Mouse.            

  • When Firefox shows me an update and asks if I'd like to update, I click continue, but it doesn't update. It just goes to a "software update" window and says "connecting to the update server..." and then doesn't do anything else. It never updates. HELP!

    When I sign on to Firefox, a "Software Update" pops up and asks if I'd like to update Firefox. I click Yes/Continue and when I do, the page says "Downloading Firefox" - connecting to the update server... - but it never finishes. It continually shows the blue/white striped line.

    Start at '''http://www.mozilla.com''' and download the latest
    version. At the completion of the download '''don't let the setup
    start Firefox for you''', when the setup ends, start Firefox in your
    normal manner this way you will be less likely to create a new profile.
    The extra startup pages are temporary -- read them. The next time
    Firefox comes up you should be back to starting with your normal home page.
    Note: Firefox must be down once the install starts.
    :Close Firefox with File>Exit. Then make sure Firefox is not running --
    :On Windows: check the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
    :On Mac: Firefox > Quit then Command+option+Esc, if Firefox running use Force quit
    '''Permission errors on Mac:'''
    "If you were getting permission errors on a Mac, download the latest
    Firefox version, then uninstall and reinstall Firefox. '''Do not let the uninstall remove remove anything but Firefox itself'''; otherwise, you will lose your profile directories and files as they contain your settings,
    bookmarks, history, extensions, passwords, and cookies.
    If you can't download as mentioned above, find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install as seen above

  • When I click on almost any picture, in any album, to enlarge it, the pic starts to enlarge and then all I get is a black screen with a large exclamation point in the center.  What have I done to my iPhoto program, and how do I fix it?

    Recently, whenever I click on almost any of my pictures, in any album, in order to enlarge that photo, it starts to enlarge but then,
    very quickly I get a black screen with a large white exclamation mark in the middle.  And no full sized photo. Boo!
    What did I do to my iPhoto program, and how can I fix it?
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Mike H.

    I'm sorry.  Too old to understand this stuff.  I'm sure this seems real stupid to you.  But I have no idea how one
    would "right click on the Original iPhoto Library" (I know, I know, 'as stated").
    Do I right click on the symbol in the dock??  Or open it first and then, . .  I can't find a way to right click on the word iPhoto in the top bar.
    Or should I open the program you had me download.  There I can find something called "original iPhoto library".
    When I "right click" on that I get some options.  None of them are "original folders".  There's "reveal library in finder", and "dupilicate library and "sort libraries".  I have no idea if any of these are what you want, or if any of these might change something.
    When I clicked on "reveal library in finder" earlier on it showed me the copy of the photo library that I made a while ago, sitting right where I know it is on my desktop.  And if I click on that symbol it shows me all the pictures again.  Just like in my regular iPhoto files - all the thumbs are there, but most can't be opened to full sized.
    Are we making progress here?  I'm sure this is frustrating to you.  This is just pictures of family.  Even the thumbs are nice to look at.  But this is nothing critical - like work related or anything.
    Thanks.
    Mike

  • When I click on a picture to enlarge it I only get a second to see the picture and then it is covered with a film

    Not exactly a film but a page that covers the page I was on. I can see through it. There will be no enlarged picture.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
