I can no longer view PDFs on my computer.
Recently, I'm no longer able to read PDFs. I get a blank black screen stating to download adobe reader or adobe acrobat. I've done both an still cannot read PDFs in safari or firefox.
Any suggestions...
Linda ...
Try this ...
Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go.
If you see the: AdobePDFViewer plugin in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, move it to the trash.
Restart your Mac and try opening a PDF file.

Un-install Adobe Acrobat and repair the installation of Adobe Reader.

Can no longer view pdf files in Safari
Adobe viewer installed. Was working okay. Upon first "download" of pdf file, had pop-up window to locate Adobe Reader application. Then pdf files were opened in Safari with Adobe Reader controls across the top of the Safari window.
For no apparent reason, can no longer view pdf in Safari. The URL for the pdf file appears in the Safari URL, but the Safari window is blank. No pop-up window to locate Adobe Reader application during first "download" of pdf file. Safari Help --> Installed Plug-ins shows Adobe Reader for pdf. Can download pdf file by highlighting URL and then pressing Option-Return.
Only change the previous day was update of Mac software which included a security upgrade and other software upgrades.Hi..
Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the AdobePDF browser plugin to the Trash.

I have a 2009 iMac using OSX 10.7.5. 2,66GHz Intel Core 2 DuoHi Maggy, I suspect you're using Adobe Reader plug-in, & hear it's broken in Lion,, remove it from your Internet Plug-ins folder, then try this one...

Since upgrading to FF 7.0.1 I can no longer view .pdf files from web pages and there is no plug in..
The .pdf viewer plug in for FF3.6 worked fine but upgrading to FF7.0.1 has caused the problem. There are no such plugins for this version. I must go back to FF3.6 with the plugin and then if one for FF7.0.1 doesn;t exist by the time Mozilla stops supporting 3.6 I will go back to Safari as my browser I guess.
I already reinstalled the Adobe's and it didn't solve anything. What I did find is that when faced with a pdf I want to view, I have to right click "Save Link As..." and then I can view the resultant pdf. Cumbersome perhaps but I guess it works.
Thanks though for the snotty tone in your response; indeed I realize its not FF's job to ensure my machine is updated. However I'm a business guy not an IT guy and my guess is the business guys at Mozilla would want to be aware of things that would impact the use of their product. And if moving forward with new iterations and updated versions of their product changed the users experience in a negative fashion, however caused, I'm sure they would want to consider what actions they may or may not want to take.
Furthermore its unfortunate that you mistakenly interpreted my words to mean that I expected them to rectify the issue for me. I simply stated that currently it doesn't work for me and if that doesn't change, I would have to move in a different direction. Simple as that. It's not a big deal.
So perhaps your typical IT guy "users are so dumb" mantra was misplaced here. -
since upgrading to FireFox 4 I am unable to access pdf online. It takes me to a New Tab which is blank. I have no problem viewing and downloading these files using IE.

I've updated Firefox.
You have some sort of issue with the external drive, I would use a powered USB hub first if it's not self powered.
Next I would be looking at purchasing software to direct recover your files from the 1's and 0's of the bits themselves on the external drive as it appears your directory or something is hosed.
Software that comes to mind is DataRescue $99 which you can download and test first before buying, then send the recovered files to another blank external drive.
Once you've got your files recovered, then your all set to mess around and experiment.
Try to access the files with the program version that originally created them, I'm not all that up to speed on iMovie, but I do know there are issues with using older Apple software versions with newer version altered files. -
How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?
How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 on Windows XP, SP3
I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 All-in-One.
I have an (obsolete) Windows XP, SP3 computer. Obviously, no updates from Microsoft
have occurred that might have impacted my Canon Pixma MX479.
When I attempt to send 1 or more pages from a PDF file to the printer, I don't even get the
Canon PIXMA popup that would allow me to cancel the print job.
Yet the Print Queue icon appears in the lower right corner of my monitor.
If I view the Print Queue, the print queue shows "spooling" and does nothing more.
If I attempt to CANCEL the print job in the Print Queue, it simply changes to "deleting -
spooling".
I cannot cancel the print job that shows NOT RESPONDING via Task Manager, either.
In fact, the only way the Print Queue icon disappears is if I totally reboot my computer!
"Luckily", I can still print e-mails, Word documents, and even my downloaded PDF of my
bank statement.
So, I was thinking that it was *only* PIXMA'S OWN SCANNED PDFS that could not be
printed ON THE SAME PIXMA 479.
However, I have since realized that I also cannot print USPS Signature Proof of Delivery
PDFs that I received from USPS via e-mail.
So why can I print *some* PDF files, but not *all* PDF files, like I previously could do?
THESE SCANS ARE OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS, SO I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO E-MAIL
THE REQUISITE, PREVIOUSLY SCANNED PDFS TO FEDEX TO PAY FOR *THEM*
TO PRINT THEM.
NOTE: I *have* tried turning the PIXMA off, unplugging it, rebooting the computer, plugging
the PIXM in and restarting the PIXMA - still no ability to print PIXMA-scanned PDFs.
And, I find it very strange that e-mails, Word documents, and some other PDFs print with
no problem "around" "NOT RESPONDING" PIXMA print jobs.
I have owned Canon printers for years, including the MX420, and the MX340.There may be some security issues related to the USPS PDFs.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

Can no longer dounload pdf file in safari or firefox. What is the problem?
I am using os 10.7.3 and a couple of weeks ago I found I can no longer download pdf files. Instead nothing happens or it try so open in a document viewer, for example: http://wi-burnettcounty.civicplus.com/DocumentView.aspx?DID=341.What do I do? I have not made any changes except update os 10.7 and adobe reader. Other computers using snowlepoard down load just fine!
Quit Safari.
Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
☞ If running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
☞ If running an older version of Mac OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and enter “~/Library” (without the quotes) in the text box that opens.
Delete the following items from the Library folder:
Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
Relaunch Safari and test. -
Help - iOS7 update & now iPad can no longer send PDFs!
Please help - ever since we updated our iPads to iOS7, we can no longer send PDFs to a non-Apple device (it looks like its sending, but when you check your email, nothing is attached). The email comes up with a red X where the attachment should be. Has anyone else encountered this problem and/or, more importantly, found a way to bypass this issue?
For anyone who's read this and encountered the same problem....I've figured out a work around for those of us dependent on the email feature until a fix is released. While viewing your PDF, select Edit and Zip the file(s) you need to email, then send that instead (by hitting Edit again, selecting the Zip file and then Mail). Its quick, easy and gets the job done. Hope this helps!!

After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer anymore. Any ideas would be helpful thanks
Merely clicking the Preview icon in the Dock doesn't cause it to open anything, unless you had one or more windows open the last time it quit.
If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
3. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
4. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane. -

As of yesterday afternoon, I can no longer view the content of email on my iPhone. I can view it on my iPad and my iMac. When I open the email, there's no content. Contact and subject appear, but zero content. It seems to be chronically "checking for email" at the bottom of the screen, whereas the email downloading indicator at the top has finished. This issue is across all three of my email accounts.
if you're using Yahoo email, this is a common problem with iPhone and Yahoo
