I am unable to open Acrobat X in Windows 7

I am unable to open Acrobat X in Windows 7. The shortcut appears on the desktop but when I click it nothing happens. Same from the program list. Just re-installed from cd but still nothing.

Since you can not open Acrobat (assume there were no errors shown with the installation and this is a new installation), then go to Control Panel>Programs & Features and select Acrobat. Select the uninstall/change. Along the way you should be provided an option to repair -- do that. If you like, you can also download the updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and install them in order.

I downloaded a widget from apple and was unable to open it because a window appeared telling me that the developer was unidentified. How do I change the security preferences that allow me to only install apps from the Mac App Store?

Unable to Open a New Browser Window

I have a couple users who are having trouble logging in to Discoverer on new PCs. They are using Internet Explorerer 8. They are able to get to the login screen, but when the hit connect (or Go) they get an error: "Unable to open a new browser window. Ensure that you do not have popup windows disabled for this site."
Obviously the first thing I had them do was turn off the popup blocker all together. But they still get the error (even after they restart their PC). Other than that, is there something I am missing in how they need to configure IE8? I'm personally used to using IE6 at work and don't know much about configuration setting for IE8.
Thanks!

Hi,
Exactly not sure,see if there are any pop-up blockers still exists,if so try turning pop-up on and off and check it.One more thing what java plug in are you using?? May be it perisists due to java also.
Best Wishes,
Kranthi.

I am suddenly unable to open elements 9 in windows 7.

why is this happening and what do I do?

Thanks -
That's how I've been doing it since installment. After I wrote earlier, I
discovered that patience is its own reward in that PE suddenly had opened.
Probably 5 minutes. If it persists, may take it out and reload.

Unable to open a second firefox window if i have already a firefox window running

I'm unable to open a new firefox window if i have one already running. Previously this action was allowed. so i would like to ask if this action has been disallowed after the update ?

You have a corrupted Firefox 3.6.12 user agent (Firefox/2.0.0.14):
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/2.0.0.14
See * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_your_useragent_string_to_its_compiled-in_default
Check the general.useragent prefs on the about:config page.
You can open the about:config page via the location bar, just like you open a website.
Filter: general.useragent
If any general.useragent prefs are bold (user set) then right-click that pref and choose Reset.
Are you starting Firefox with the -no-remote command line switch?
Make sure that you do not start Firefox with the -no-remote switch or have set the environment variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 (Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables).

Unable to open leopard files on windows server

Hi,
We had a mac which was on Leopard and saved files to the server
The file system we use is a Windows 2008 File Server, this has worked fine with leopard for years
However I understand that Leopard splits the files into resource forks - and that Lion has dropped support for these files.
That particular mac is now on Lion as we upgraded and encountering LOTS of issues
I unable to open or edit lots of the files as i believe chunks of the files are missing.
E.g an .eps file showed as 740KB on leopard - Viewing from a windows PC it was 730kb for the .eps and 10kb for the ._ resource fork.
Now that we are on the LION upgrade, we only see the .eps file and it is only 730kb. Information missing is things such as preview (quark), Font data, type of file, version number
Is there anyways to fix this? we have hundreds! of images, files etc created with leopard and now upgraded to lion they all have become useless!
Rejoining the resource forks and files together so that they are usable on lion
Thanks

You also may want to post this in the Lion forum, someone there may have some insight.

Unable to open organizer ?? Windows XP PSE 5.0

Unable to open organizer, editor seems to be ok. A few seconds after I click on organizer this message appears " The action you have requested could not be completed because the application is not responding. It may still be loading or waiting for a response from You." This problem first occured soon after attacking a new Kodak video camera to my computer. The software that comes with the camera, uploaded from the camers, is Media Impression by ArcSoft. The JPG files on my computer now have the ArcSoft logo included with the file names. When I click on a JPG file, I get this message: "Windows cannot access the specitied device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item." Any help will certainly be appreciated.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Unable to open airport utility on Windows 7

I'm unable to open Airport Utility on my Windows 7 laptop because I keep getting an error message saying Airport Utility requires Windows 7 service pack 1 or later. SP1 was already installed. I tried deleting and reinstalling SP1 and Airport Utility still won't open. Any ideas on how to fix this?

This can happen when the Airport Utility installation download can't find an authentication file - short of doing a clean install of Windows 7, try the following:
1. Delete any old Windows folders if Windows 7 was an upgrade
2. Turn off anti-virus programs
3. Turn off the Windows Firewall
4. Delete any partial installations of the AU that may be present
If the above does not work then try to download the previous version of the AU 5.5.3 at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1391

Unable to open any sort of window in Firefox

Hey guys, this issue started happening for a while, I had Firefox and Snow Leopard and everything worked fine. I think the issue began happening after a specific version of OS Snow Leopard but I am unsure.
I ended up reformatting my entire computer with OSX Lion, thinking that somehow maybe something was just corrupted on my old install. This however was not the case, Firefox fails to open any sort of window.
By window I mean, "view source", "Tools -> downloads", or any other sort of Firefox window that would make it pop up anything. None of that data works. This is a brand new install of Firefox along with a new install of OSX Lion, I have no plugins etc... yet the issue continues.
I have another Mac which doesn't experience this issue, however that is a newer Mac the end of 2010, and the Mac I am currently using is from 2008.
I have tried downgrading to 5.0 and it's the same issue. I will try downgrading to 4.0 and respond back with any info I may gather, hopefully this is an easy fix.
Thanks!

Do you have 2 monitors? If so it may be related to https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/802302
For me I had to make arrange my secondary monitor to be level with my primary monitor and it now works.

Unable to Open Acrobat Pro 9

I am a new iMac user with OS 10.6.8 and have installed Acrobat 9 Pro from a DVD. When I click on the Acrobat icon the program fails to open. The icon bounces once on the dock but nothing opens. It does appear to open if I double click an existing .pdf file.
How do I resolve this?
Operating System: Mac OS X (v10.6)
Thanks

Try performing all updated to the Acrobat 9 by downloading the appropriate files from the Adobe ftp site. You'll need to get beyond 9.2 for it to open in 10.6 and probably need to go to 9.4.4 at least.

Recipient unable to open Acrobat 9 form with Adobe Reader 9

Over the past 8 months I have distributed a form created in Acrobat 9 Pro to over 50 recipients. Most of them have been able to open and complete the form sucessfully. In the past two weeks I've sent the same form to two new receipients and they both have responded that they cannot open the form using the most current version of Adobe Reader. The error message says somethink like "extended features are not available". I recreated the form from the original document and sent it to one of the receipients and the result was the same; they were not able to open it.
Can you help me?

This MAY be caused by the way email programs process attachments
First ZIP the form and send it to see if that will fix the problem, since zip files are normally attached correctly

Acrobat 6 and7 unable to open Acrobat X docs

I have a lot of users that are still using Acrobat 6 that are being sent pdf files made with
Acrobat X. When they try to open them, it gives an error of 6 can't open the new
pdf file format and to upgrade.
Users with Acrobat 8 and 9 can open these files just fine.
My first question is why can't 6 or 7 open them?
2nd question is are we forced to upgrade or can compatibility be added to 6 and 7 to open these files?

My first question is why can't 6 or 7 open them?
May be that the generated PDF version is 1.7 or higher.
2nd question is are we forced to upgrade or can compatibility be added to 6 and 7 to open these files?
Acrobat X can save files compatible to Acrobat 6 and lower.

A hardy ghost of Firefox is apparently running in my computer and I am unable to open Firefox, even after Window restarts and an uninstall/re-install. How do I find and fix this problem?

What happened first is Firefox was revving and using most of my CPU, ultimately "not responding" too easily and for too long, so I closed it in order to reopen it, but Firefox remained running in background (Task Mgr, Processes) after closing, continuing to use almost all my CPU, so I ended the process in Task Mgr.
When I went to re-open it, window opened and told me Firefox could not be opened because another "instance"(?) was still running, to close it or restart Windows. I couldn't close it because I already closed it AND ended the process, so I restarted Windows.
When I tried to open Firefox, I got the same pop-up. I think I restarted Windows one more time, and then uninstalled Firefox, except for my personal settings (in order to save the bookmarks, which I couldn't find in the Firefox folder in Program Files (only Favorites, which were not my bookmarks; I later wondered if they were part of the Firefox add-on "Add This" --??).
I then uninstalled Firefox and re-installed it. When I tried to start the newly re-installed program, I had the same pop-up telling me Firefox was already running and to close it or restart Windows.
I searched my computer folders for anything that might help, did a Search of the computer for "Firefox", and was given some Firefox folders and if they weren't from the new re-install, I deleted them. One thing I noticed was that the program folder did NOT have the program (Firefox.exe) icon to start Firefox.
I uninstalled Firefox and had to resort to using Internet Explorer, which I do NOT like. My rich library of bookmarks are who knows where.
I don't know if this is related, but in searching my computer's Administrative Services and Component Tools (and the like) hoping to find something that would help me fix Firefox, I inadvertently learned that "MMC could not create the snap-in. The snap-in might not have been installed correctly. Name: .NET Framework 1.1 Config."
Please help me get Firefox back and figure out what is going on in my computer that led to this. I am a basic user and not techno-computer saavy, so if anyone can help me with this, please give me step-by-step bonehead instructions.
Thank you so much for any help you can offer!

Make sure that Firefox is set as the default browser.

Found a fix for this: Unable to open Itunes Store on windows XP

Hi,
     I have been searching for this all weekend. For the last month we have been unable to connect to Itunes store. We can connect to the Internet and also access to itunes itself. I have phoned Apple as well as our service provider. No luck with the solutions offered. I have uninstalled and downloaded it again. I have done the winsock suggestion. I have disabled the firewall solution. I have gone into security settings and clicked enable the miscellaneous part. I have run as administrator. Basically everything from this forum and numerous others and also from advice from apple and my service provider. NOTHING WORKED for me on this computer. However on my Laptop which is vista the winsock fix did work. Still didn't solve my desktop until I found another solution and tried. Blow me down it worked. 2 days and hooray.....finally. I found this on a Geek website called "geeks to go" and I have cut and pasted it from there.
This is it.
Copy and paste the text in the code box below into Notepad.
@Echo on
pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
attrib -h -s -r hosts echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
attrib +r +h +s hosts popd ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all
shutdown -r -t 1
del %0
Save as flush.bat to your desktop.
Double-click flush.bat file to run it. Your computer will reboot.
Note: For Windows Vista or Windows 7, right-click flush.bat and select "Run as Administrator".
Hope this one helps anyone out there that has tried most of the other fixes. No bugs or viruses from this...so far.
Steve

You're probably going to need to install service pack 2 or 3.
