I am having trouble downloading PDF files to my new iPad air. Works fine on my other iPads with iOS7 and iOS 5.

My other iPads easily download PDF files but my new iPad air is stumbling and the browser shuts down.

Hi John
iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb.  This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well.  This might be the common thread.

  • Having trouble downloading PDF file; blue arrow drops down after click on it, but goes nowhere

    I am signed in on a bank account I have used in the past; trying to download a pdf which is a copy of my accounts, but cannot find out where pdf went.

    Hello there,
    To change the download folder for Firefox only:
    1. Open a new tab to about:config (type about:config in the Awesomebar and tap the go arrow or tap Enter)
    2. In the search box, type down and tap Enter
    3. Scroll down to browser.download.folderList and tap Modify, then change the value from 1 to 2 (from default always to last used folder). The change should appear after a few seconds.
    4. Scroll back up and tap the "Add a New Setting" button
    5. String is the correct type, so OK that
    6. The name of the preference should be browser.download.dir (this stores the last used directory)
    7. The value should be /sdcard/ followed by the folder name you want to use, for example, /sdcard/FxDown
    If you switch back to your other tab and download something, it should go to the new folder.

  • Hi. i'm having trouble viewing pdf files in safari

    i'm having trouble viewing pdf files in 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.

  • Having Trouble Downloading Certain Files

    I just got a Droid Razr the other day after accidentally dropping my Droid 2 off a third floor balcony. I'm enjoying the phone so far, but I'm having trouble downloading certain files. I use my phone to listen to podcasts. With my old phone I was able to download them from their respective websites by hold-clicking the download link, and clicking "Save Link." Now when I do that, I get the little "Starting Download" message, then, nothing. Is there some setting or something that isn't right?
    Full disclosure, when I was transferring the files from my old 8GB SD card to my new 16GB card, I accidentally put the files on the internal storage instead of the SD card, so after getting the files onto the right card, I deleted those files from internal storage. I was thinking perhaps I accidentally deleted some system file or something that would cause this problem, but I really have no idea.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Try Opera Mobile because a number of stock browsers have issues downloading from some sites.... 
    As for the possibilty od deleting system files you should not have access to any system files that would cause and device issues because you have to have Superuser rights and the system wont have this without voiding warrenty..

    Hi,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed on your device? You can check it under Settings-->Apps. If Adobe Reader is installed on your device and still the pdfs open in some other app, then you might have chosen that app to be the default app for always opening pdfs. You can clear the defaults for that application. Just go to Settings-->App--->Polaris(or any other app where the files open)--->Clear Defaults. Next time you try to open a pdf, you will be presented with the options again. Hope this helps. Please let us know if you still face some issues.
    Thanks.

  • Having trouble reducing PDF file size on export

    Hi, I recently switched from Quark to InDesign and am having trouble figuring out how to reduce the size of a PDF on export.
    The file has about 200 pages with about 300 EPS files, which are approximately 30-40K each. The file uses fewer than 10 fonts, all from two font families (Bembo Std and Univers Std). When I created a similar file in Quark, the exported PDF is ~5MG. However, when I export the file I created in InDesign, the PDF is 10xs larger (~50MG). I tried exporting using the High Quality Print and Smallest File Size settings, but the result was the same. (I think that is because there are no JPG images to compress, just vector files which are already tiny.)
    If you have any suggestions for other settings to check, I would be grateful for the help. Overall, other than this issue, I have been extremely happy with InDesign.
    I am using CS5, v 7.0.4 on Mac OS X (10.6.8, Snow Leopard)
    Thank you,
    SH

    Quark to the best of my knowledge still goes the Postscript to PDF route - I'm not 100% sure on that.
    But here's why Export is differetn than how you print to Postscript and distill http://indesignsecrets.com/creating-pdf-export-or-use-distiller.php
    Distilling is very much frowned upon, and Export from InDesign is considered the best workflow.And the file size is larger, but it does add a lot of important information to the PDF, which makes it superior than distilling.
    But, there's a lot of document overhead in PDFs.
    The High Quality setting is only meant as a guide.  It's not meant to be used, in my opinion, out of the box.
    This explains why and how to counter it.

    The Help files do give some clues
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-70b3a.html
    This PDF guide is MUST http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/cs3/articles/cs3_printguide.html
    And besides that EPS files are considered legacy files by Adobe, I'm not sure how they're handled on PDF export. But you'd be better off saving to .ai from illustrator from now on.

    Instead of EPS from photoshop - save as TIFF or PSD if all Raster. If it's raster + vector text layers, shapes or masks then save to PDF.

  • Having trouble syncing PDF file to itunes ibooks

    Hello:
    I am attempting to get a PDF file that I have on my iphone (ibooks) to sync to itunes.  For some reason, I am unable to get it to sync to itunes so I can read it on my laptop.  Please advise.
    Thanks

    I too am having the same issue.  I've noticed some of my pdf's I've saved on my iPad have transfered back to iTunes but some others aren't.  The reason this is an issue as I have more than one iDevice and would like to keep them in sync.  The pdf's that haven't synced back to iTunes are the Standford University Fall 2011 objective c pdf's.

  • I am having trouble downloading zip files from an e-mail to Firefox and want to know if Firefox is where I should be downloading the zip file.

    I have never downloaded a file from an e-mail, so I am "dancing in the dark" on this. When I download the file from the e-mail, I cannot determine what support engine I should place it in. One choice given me was Microsoft Work Words but when I select it, I can go no further.

    I have the same configuration:
    10.7.2 Aperture 3.2.2
    When I drag an image from one project to another it just moves to the other project - no special preference settings required.
    If there are several versions of the same image, all versions go along with the image.
    If the images are stacked, all versions and all of the stack move to the new project.
    Only if images are synched with other services, iCloud, MobileMe then occasionally they appear again in their original albums. Are your images part of synched albums?

  • Mac Lion macbook pro, download pdf files fails, no error messages but work in Safari.

    On requesting a download of a pdf file the source supplies this but nothing appears in the Firefox download window. Same pdf appears happily in Safari. My MAC pro with same Firefox progreamme works OK also.

    Disabling a plugin worked for me
    Go to Tools, Add-ons, Plugins tab
    then disable the plugin: Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in Version 10.1.3

  • I'm having trouble downloading my subscription to a new computer keep getting an error 1 ( another installation going on) which is not the case.

    I've trying to relocate and download my subscription to  a new computer and just keep getting an error 1 message ( some other download going on-which is not the case) anyone else have this problem

    Without proper system information and other details nobody can help you. and this error means what it says - some other install process is still active, even if it may not do so visible. Could be a silent update of a virus scanner or something, could be a botched install of another program, not even specifically Adobe. As a start, always reboot your computer and then try again. For anything else we need much more info.

  • Having trouble setting up e-mail on new iPhone 4s. I would like to sync with my outlook mail, contacts

    I am having trouble setting up my email and syncing my outlook calendar wiht my new iphone 4s.

    How do you connect to the internet?
    Most of the time, the problem lies here. You can try a couple of things. First, try only 3G or carrier data. Then, try only wifi. If that still doesn't work, your only other option is to try a different hotspot.
    I had the same problem before when I updated to iOS 4.3. I thought it was the update at first. I usually have the carrier data turned off because my plan doesn't have an unlimited provision for it. I forgot that I also switched ISPs from DSL to a visibility unit package - meaning I had to setup my laptop so that I could get wifi from it. I realized this when I visited a friends house that I knew I could connect properly before.
    My problem was with my laptop. It seems that Little Snitch blocks the ports being used for mail and push notifications. I haven't figured it out exactly since I still can't get email when I'm using my laptop connection. But, it works fine when I'm using ONLY 3G or both/wifi only if connected to a different hotspot.
    Hope that helps.

  • I am having trouble getting 3G service on my new ipad 2, what does it mean when it says SIM not provisioned?

    I am having trouble accessing the 3G network on my new ipad 2, what does it mean when it says that the SIM is not provisioned?

    SIM not provisioned usually means that the 3G service has not been set up yet. Have you set up the service through the settings menu?

  • I am having trouble updating iTunes - need it for new iPad

    I have a new iPad.  I tried to download the update for iTunes but it says it can't find a path (iTunes.msi)  I tried to remove the old iTunes, thinking that might help but it won't allow the removal because it can't find that same file.  HELP  I

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
