Installed Acrobat won't open in Doc or from Finder

I installed Adobe Acrobat and it will not open from the Dock or from Finder, but when I click on a PDF file Acrobat does open. Any idea what could be causing this? How can I get it to open independent of a specific document?

Hmm. Try opening the program in another user account (create one if necessary) and see if things change. You may also want to contact Adobe and see if they have any suggestions.

  • CD Drive won't open; can't eject from Finder.

    I'm fairly new to Macs, and I placed a CD-R into my drive which won't load up. The disk image is on the desktop, but when I open it up, my Finder freezes. I've also tried using the keyboard eject button, and dragging the disk image into the trash, but nothing still.
    Can anyone help me? I'm probably missing something simple/obvious.

    Having foolishly purchased a bluetooth keyboard
    [requires OS X loaded and running to be usable,
    and Apple didn't ship a standard keyboard along
    with it!], I ran into the 'how do I open the
    optical drive without a keyboard or os' problem
    right away.
    The 'physical' method is to slide the silver door
    covering the drive down with your fingers, hold
    it down, and use a paperclip to eject the tray
    as in 'normal' optical drives.
    You can also check out command line tools like
    disktool or even `diskutil unmount force disk-device'
    or 'diskutil eject disk-device'.
    Update: just remembered the following links.

    the cc desktop app is used to install and update cc programs (and a few other thinigs).  but that does not include 'opening' the installed programs.
    click your start button or your program files directory to find the acrobat executable to launch acrobat (and any of your other apps, adobe or otherwise).

    Keynote installed but won't open.

    Looks like you installed SpellCatcher at one time. Uninstall. I'm not sure about the lastest SpellCatcher release today. Both older versions of SpellCatcher and Unsanity's Application Enhancher causes Keynote to fail to launch successfully.

    Can you open word doc. In pages? (Opening a doc. From the web) in the iPad or iPod tuch?

    NH,
    This may seem a fine point, but iWork apps don't actually Open Office apps. They Import them. The reason I make this distinction for you is that when you view the result of the import, you may see some variations from what was in the Office document because of an imperfect translation, and when you make edits, you are editing an iWork document, not the original Office document.

  • IPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them.

    iPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them. This is probably a very common question!

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We need to know the details of your problem and situation, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when you launch iPhoto to open your library?
    what fixes have you tried before coming here?
    where is you library located?
    how long has this been occuring?
    did you apple any updates or upgrades just prior?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    What do you see when you click on a thumbnail?

    Pages08 on my new MacBookPro/Lion will create new Pages08 docs but will not open Pages08 docs emailed from my iMac.
    There is something odd in this message.
    Even under Lion, Pages 08 is able to open Pages 08 documents created by Pages 09.
    I guess that the OP made a typo and that the docs were created as Pages 09 documents.
    In theory, the availability of iWork 08 on a machine is not supposed to disable the ability to buy Pages 09 thru the MAS because the iWork 08 registration scheme is not the same than the iWork 09 one.

  • Can/Could/Why-Can't-We Open a Terminal Window from Finder...

    I do a lot of development needing a terminal window but also need to bounce about a lot between file system areas (my machine, our NFS drives in our fleet, etc.).
    It'd be nice if we could open a terminal window from Finder. I.e., If I'm in Finder and see that I need to work in the terminal window (be it with IDL*, NCL, gcc, etc) I can do a quick GUI click or keykick or whatever, and be happily dropped into a terminal window in that directory. The alternative for me now is to open Terminal from my doc and dig through the file system to my destination.
    Can I do that in Finder? I seem to remember in a past life with (ahem) an certain other "operating system" that just released their "apology" edition, that you could do this from their File Exploder. If not, gee, wouldn't that be nice to add, kids?

    Thanks for the help on this!
    The Matt's macoshints solution (the first comment by Greg Spence, below) was simple enough and met my requirements very nicely, thanks much. (the script is below)
    tell application "Finder"
    set myWin to window 1
    set theWin to (quoted form of POSIX path of (target of myWin as alias))
    tell application "Terminal"
    activate
    tell window 1
    do script "cd " & theWin & ";ls -al | more"
    end tell
    end tell
    end tell
    It worked on the local mac, my unix nsf drives, and the samba drives to which I am connected.
    I also tried the cd-to script but as I use tcsh it was not working for me. Other potential users have apparently cited the problem as well (nice simple icon graphic for the finderbar though).
