I have trouble opening PDF documents with Firefox. They will open using IE8 and with the older version of Firefox but not with the new version of Firefox.

Specifically, I am trying to open brokerage statements with Charles Schwab. I go to the link using Firefox and click and all I get is a blank box with ABOUT: BLANK in the header at the top. Yet, I had no trouble viewing the statements with the older version of Firefox and I also have no problem viewing the document using Internet Explorer. Any help you can offer is appreciated. I would rather continue to use Firefox as my browser and not have to use IE.

HT3387 When I use pages the languages that I mainly use are English and Hebrew. The spellchecker works for English but not with Hebrew. How can I add another language to the spellcheck?

DO NOT USE PREVIEW TO FILL OUT PDF FORMS, IT WILL DESTROY PDF FILES. Sorry, but I had to shout here to prevent damage to your PDF files.
Here is one of the symptoms when you fill out a PDF form with Preview: If you save it and return it to the author, they will not be able to see the text that you've added to form fields - unless they click on a field, which will reveal the contents of just that field. You can recover from this problem, but Preview will also remove other field types, and will actually rewrite your complete PDF while ignoring what it does not understand. Take a look at this blog post for more information about the damage that Preview will cause: Preview.app - Killer of PDF Files

How do i open PDF documents in forefox. they won't open at this time.

if there is a PDF document on a website and i click on it to open it, i get either a blank screen or there is no reaction (the screen stays the same with no change, as if i had not clicked on the icon)

After beating my head against the wall, I went into the iPhone with PhoneBrowse, a free Windows utility that lets you browse files and directories. Two of the directories under the Adobe Reader App are "Documents" and "Library". iTunes placed all of the PDFs in the Documents directory. Grasping for any straw, I put one PDF in the Library directory.
After closing PhoneBrowse, I went back to the iPhone and opened Adobe Reader. Voila, all PDFs in the Documents directory were there. I went back to PhoneBrowse and deleted the extra PDF from the Library directory. It was sort of like I hit the application up the side of the head and woke it up. Putting that extraneous file in the Library appears to have made Adobe Reader stop automatically opening the "Getting Started" PDF.

I have two phones on one apple ID. After one updated yesterday on icloud it automatically took my contacts off and put the other ones on there. They still show up if I actually type them in when texting but not in the list.

I have two phones on one apple ID. My son updated to icloud last night and when he did it took my contacs off of my phone and put his in there. When I go to text the numbers I can still find but when I click on the contacts they do not show. Is there a way to change this without restoring the last back up?

You'll have to migrate one of the phones to a different account, then delete the other person's data from each account (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't from each account.

Several Apps seem to just mysteriously shut down after using for a while. Same with Safari, I will be using Safari and it shuts down. Face book too. I've reset and shut down my iPad 3 and restart it, but it stills shuts down. What to do?

Several Apps seem to mysteriously shut down after using them for a while. Face Book shuts down , netflix, Safari, and other Apps. They work fine for a short while, or a long while, and then shut down and it brings me to my regular desktop screen. I've tried restarting by completely shutting down the IPad until I see the apple pic and turned it back on, but the shutdowns of apps continue. Anyone else have this issue? It generally started shortly after downloading and installing IOS 7......

Hi jennyoutwest,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The following articles will provide some troubleshooting steps for your iPhone.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
The final troubleshooting step would be to restore your device:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition. Before restoring:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
Back up your device.
Transfer and sync content to your computer.
Cheers,
- Judy

I want to STOP the automatic loading of the tab that tells me "Almost There!" or "Your Almost There" suggesting that I download the new version. I DO NOT WANT A NEWER VERSION- and I am SICK of seeing this tab open when I start Firefox. How do I stop this?

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/781986]''
I find this reminder/suggestion to upgrade Firefox EXTREMELY annoying. How do I stop it? What about:config settings do I change-- because I have been unable to find the one that will do the trick.

See these articles for some suggestions:
* [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]]
* [[How to set the home page]] - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols

Does my Mac need to have the OS5 to get iOS5 on my ipod touch? I plugged my ipod in, have the 10.5 version of itunes but not getting the update on my ipod.

I am trying to get the iOS5 on my ipod touch. iTunes says I have the latest updates (10.5). My Mac does not have the iOS5. Do I need to get iOS5 for my computer before I can get the benefits on my ipod touch?

If you have a 3G iPod it may really be a 2G iPod. If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G iPod. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. A 32 GB one can be either. To identify ours see:

Your feed is at http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/GPKwx
The latest episode in it is 23 July: the later episodes haven't made it into the feed so either the connection to Feedburner has failed or there is something about the recent episodes which is causing them not to make it into the feed. It's not obvious from looking at the web page what this might be.

I installed Firefox 3.6. Since then, I am unable to open pdf documents in Firefox. I get a black page. I tried opening the same document in Internet Explorer. It worked fine. I recently installed Nuance's pdf reader and thought that might be the problem.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

How about if you right click on the PDF and select Save Link As..., and then open it locally from within Reader? Does it work ok then? That might be a workaround until the issue within the browser is resolved.

I also have the '''pdf''' problem on all web sites. In my opinion Firefox 4 & 5 are not and improvement over FF3. I also have this concern listed on the question page along with 48 others in one week.

Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Have Pages 4.1 installed. Same files will open ok from Finder, Pages App. Recently sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) after iOS5 installed.

Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Already have Pages 4.1 installed. Same files will open ok from Finder/Pages App./selected file. Prob not noted until recently after sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) when I installed iOS5. Anyone-- please?!

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all.

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. I went to the forums and tried all the suggested fixes but none worked. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all. I tried a system restore twice and it did not fix the problem.

I would imagine it's the MyWay Searchbar which is classified by most anti-malware scanners as adware, or even worse as spyware. I say that because I see "SmileyCentral" in your list of plugins and that's an add-on for that particular toolbar. You can disable that via Tools | Add-ons | Plugins.
There are a number of toolbars which won't work with Firefox 4 anymore due to the enhanced protection mechanisms in the browser.
Mozilla recommends that you only install add-ons from its own security site @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/?browse=featured Generally speaking, those have all been tested and approved. The exceptions are those currently under review which are marked with a yellow banner to warn users that they haven't passed Mozilla's labs yet.

Opening pdf documents in browser impossible

Hi there all,
have problems opening pdf documents in safari window. On all of my macs (except for the macpro) pdf docs open in the safari browser window using the pdf plug-in. Installed plug-in list tells me that adobe pdf-viewer plug-in is available. Why doesn't it work ? Running Firefox, same problem. Application asks what to do : open with preview app (standard), but no other possibility, although I have latest adobe reader app. installed, as well as acrobat professional 8.xxx.
What is going wrong ? It seems pdf plug-in is not found or recognized. Help !

Hi
You can view all pdf doc in solman itself just select the same and click display icon or just double click it it will open in solar01 or solar02 itself but wait for some time to get it loaded.
whereas if you want to open the doc in explorer just click the attributes and generate url and paste the same in explorer.
You can view in explorer this way.
If you are facing any issue in the above standard procedure please contact your basis team for the same.
Please reward points.

Unable to Open PDF Document on Web

Somebody, please help me since Adobe refused to unless I pay $39.
When I try to open a PDF document on the internet, I get the following error message:
"ACROBAT PLUG-IN
The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
I have Acrobat 8 Professional installed running on Windows Vista OS. This error/message started not long ago. I do not know what I did to cause it.
Please, you Adobe guru guy, help me now.
Thank you VERY much in advance.

PDF files should be forward compatible, but not backward compatible. Thus, AA5 PDFs should still be fine. If there is a problem, it is likely they have been corrupted. You can open the PDF in a text editor (such as notepad) and look at how it starts. It should be something like "%PDF-1.4" where the %PDF-1.4 at the beginning provides the version number. If you do not see this form of the first 8 characters, then you do not have a PDF or the PDF is corrupt. The latter could happen depending on the manner in which you transferred the file to view. DO NOT Save the file from the editor.
A common mistake is to post PDFs with FTP using ascii. Unfortunately, only the 1st 8 characters are necessarily ascii and the rest may be binary -- the issue that messes up many e-mail programs that only check the first few characters for the ascii nature.
Hopefully that gives some thoughts of use.

Adobe Reader 11.0.03.37 hangs and freezes opening PDF documents

When opening PDF documents with Adobe Reader 11.0.03.37, it hangs and freezes for a few minutes. Is anyone else experiencing this and is there a fix or work around?
We have Windows 7 Professional 64-bit operating systems. It takes a moment for the Adobe Reader to unfreeze itself but will eventually.
Thanks!

Found a fix for my problem. It wasn't the Protected Mode issue after all. The fix is to disable In Product Messaging.
Here is the fix for the problem. Now maybe Adobe can address this issue in the future release or patch/update.
Try it on yours and see if it doesn't fix it also.
The following below link provides the information I am about to share with you.
But open Adobe Acrobat Reader without opening a PDF file. So just open Adobe Reader application by itself.
1. Click on EDIT
2. Click on PREFERENCES
3. Click on GENERAL Category
4. UNCHECK "Show me messages when I launch Reader"
5. CHECK "Don't show messages while viewing a document"
This should fix your problem as it fixed mine. See the link below for more information. Looks like I will be doing a regedit script for our network users to get rid of this problem. UGGGHHH!!!!!!
Hope this helps!
