Flash is slow and cannot open previous files

flash 8 professional is slow and cannot open previous files,
I can't fix it. I use a Mac. It also crashes while loading if I
open another app. any help, please?
EDIT: Also, I CAN open flash, if that helps.

Have you checked that you are opening the new version? To check this, open a Finder window, select Applications in the sidebar and open the Pages app with the new icon, so you will get the new version.
Your problem is caused because Apple decided to keep the old iWork applications version after installing the new one. The only thing you have to do is to open it from the Applications folder, or drag the new version to the Dock, so you can access to it quickly

  • Help - "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed."

    Hello,
    I searched this site and google for this error terminology and come up dry.  I support a user who has been for years using Acrobat 5 (yes, I know...) to read files in a client DB program, as well as other PDF files on their PC.  In the last week or so, they have started gatting this error "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed." any time they attempt to open a PDF file attached to an email (via Outlook).
    It is my understanding that they cannot upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat because of limitations of their client software, but had not previously had any issues viewing PDF notes from the DB, and PDF attachments in their email.
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, as well as tried using Adobe Reader 7 & 9 in conjunction with Acrobat to try to get around this issue, but have not been successful.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jesse

    I don't have an answer to your technical problem. The product I assume is Acrobat that you are talking about (based on the post title), Adobe is the company name. This is a good place to ask questions on Acrobat if folks can figure out what you are talking about. They will ask for the product version number (like AA9.3.3), operating system, and other applications if appropriate. Also, just what you are doing that generates the message.
    As for Adobe, you are not likely to get an answer from them here in the user forum. You will be lucky if you can get an answer if you can contact them and not be on hold for more than an hour (sorry, this is why a lot of folks end up in the forum).
    So, to help others try to answer your question, what are the products and versions involved? What OS? What are you doing when the message comes up.

  • I have an iMac and cannot open PDF files in Firefox now. How do I fix this please?

    I have an iMac and cannot open PDF files while working in my university site in Firefox now. How do I fix this please?

    I have a similar problem - not mac related and sometimes I find if I download the pdf file I can open it then.

  • I have adobe 9 and cannot open PDF files????

    I have Adobe 9 and cannot open PDF Files.  It gives me an encoding box??

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “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. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    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.

  • Even though I uninstalled Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash Player, I still cannot open PDF files.

    Even though I uninstalled Adobe Reader & Adobe Flash Player and reinstalled the latest versions, I still cannot open PDF files.  They always try to open in Word 2010.

    This is a Windows setting. In Windows 7 you can change it through the Control Panel: Either Start>Default Programs  or Start>Control Panel>Programs>Default Programs>Set Associations
    Find .pdf and change it (click Change Program) from Microsoft Word to Adobe Reader. Browse to find the Reader application if necessary: Program Files>Adobe>Reader11>Reader>AcroRd.exe

  • Photoshop Elements 9 and cannot open Raw files from my Canon EOS 1000D camera.

    I am using Photoshop Elements 9 on a Windows 7 based PC and would like to know why I cannot open Raw files produced by my Canon EOS 1000D camera.
    I have checked the version of the plug in as 6.5 for raw files which is supposed to open .cr2 files and should be compatible according to Adobe site info.
    any ideas for next move.
    Mick

    Hi,
    According to all of Adobe's charts, the Canon 1000D should be supported by the basic PSE 9 even without updates. When you said you checked the camera raw version in PSE, did you do that by going to the Help menu and selecting About plugins -> Camera raw?
    The Canon 1200D requires ACR 8.4 which is only compatible with PSE 12 - so for PSE 10 your brother would need the DNG converter.
    I can't find a sample raw file to try (I do have PSE 9). If you want to upload a sample file to dropbox and give me access, I could try it on my system.
    Have you tried opening one of your files on your brothers system?

  • Creative Cloud is always empty and I cannot update LR and PS and cannot open RAW files from my new camera!

    My Creative Cloud is always empty.  I've had this trouble for over a year.  I cannot update Lightroom because of it and Photoshop does not update properly.  I cannot open the RAW files from my new camera, a Nikon D750.  Each time I want to update, I have to talk to you and delete things and reinstall things but it doesn't fix it properly!
    I have contacted Adobe before and always have to go through a tedious delete stuff and reinstall, then next time it happens all over again.
    I'm really fed up with it and want to know how to fix it properly.  I am in the UK, if that makes any difference.

    This is an open forum with a mix of program users and Adobe staff, not Adobe support... you need Adobe support

  • I downloaded Adobe Reader and cannot open PDF files, can anyone tell me why? or what I need to do.

    I am not able to open PDF files or documents.  Why?

    Here is my assessment, Claudio.  I know you are revered among your peers and it's very obvious that you live on these forums.  You have undoubtedly helped a lot of people and you will be rewarded in your afterlife for your endeavors here but here's a reality check for both you and Pat:
    What lesson did D.Call learn from you?  Likely the lesson was, don't post here or you'll be treated as an imbecile by some hotshot bitwhiz named Claudio Gonzalez.
    Did you not see that D.Call said s/he was an inexperienced computer user… and was obviously asking for elementary level assistance?  You were blinded by your belief that your knowledge and expertise is being wasted on anyone who isn’t forthcoming to your expectations.  I merely pointed out that if you think it's such a waste of your time, why dwell?  You should have left Graffiti to work with D.Call and headed off to another thread.  Surely there were other posts requiring your extreme level of higher intelligence.
    Think about this:  You don't like it when someone talks down to you as I have here, now do you?  No one does.  Right now as you read this my guess is you are fuming and likely trying to think of a way to smite me.  You can respond to this post in whatever tone or language you choose but I won't take offense.  I’ll be the bigger man… I promise I won't reply so you can have the last word.
    When you respond, see if you can take it up a notch and maybe even admit you made a mistake with your corkscrew remark.  I don't think you would ever risk being so disrespectful to D.Call, and most certainly, not to me or anyone else if we were face-to-face.  If you worked in my company, you would be fired for disrespecting my customers.
    By the way, do you and Pat have spell check ability?  If you do, you should use it.

  • I use a Mac and cannot open pdf files in Firefox.

    Cannot open pdf, either from websites or attachments to emails. Each time that I try I get this menu of "what to open with" and none of them work.. No problems with Safari.

    Found a solution on the Apple community forum. Make sure Adobe isn't enabled as the pdf reader, then go into Macintosh hd/library/internet plugins and delete all pdf plugins. Solved the problem!

  • Seeing extreme slowness and problems opening some files

    Hi,
    Starting about a week ago (and I can't recollect any coincident update or something I might have done), Java is real slow to start.  This is true for any Java programs that I click on and even from the shell in an xtrem.  In the latter case, the command "java -version" can take up to 4 or 5 minutes to execute. Right after that, however, it runs quickly.  So only the first invokation of Java after startup exhibits this problem.  After that, Java runs just fine, full speed, etc, etc.
    The other problem is more general.  When I click on the hard disk icon, the dialogue window open and displays and then locks up for a minute or two with the little busy icon form of th cursor.  Basically, the finder is locked up.  This lockup does not affect any running program so I can do something else while the finder is taking its time (if you look in Force Quit, it will tell you the finder is not responding).  Over this past week while I was at a conference, I downloaded several large *.tgz (zipped tar archives) which is a very normal thing for me to do.  When I clicked on any one of them, the finder hung.  Trying to restart the finder failed and I would have to reboot the machine.  Using the shell inside an xterm, I tried simply "file filename" which should instantly return the filetype.  But the command hung instead.  And "kill -KILL" from the command line wouldn't kill it.  But what I discovered is that if I just let it be, after something greater than 5 minutes and in some cases 10 minutes, it would return with a correct response.  After that I could untar the file without any problem.
    I don't think I've been infected with any kind of malware.  I have Sophos' free Mac scanner.  I updated it profile do I had all the newest signatures and then let it scan my whole disk which pretty much takes over night.  It found nothing.
    So, any ideas at all?
    Thanks,
