Issues opening adobe files using the safari browser

Hi,
I am currently on a website and as I attempted to open a PDF file as a download, the safari browser opened a new window which was completely black but with no PDF product.
A message along the lines of an adobe reader was unavailable, so I followed the instructions to download, thinking that possibly I need the latest version, however my OS detected that I already have a version installed. Unfortunately no change has taken place while completing the same process to download the PDF from the website, has anyone else had a similar experience? I noted nothing appeared in my download box also.
I am currently using Mac Air Book, OS X 10.8.4 if this helps.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below on this page 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 "Adobe" or “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. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
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.

    I'm not able to enrol in a iOS developer program as individual. My browser says too many redirects. I'm using the Safari Browser. Please let me know how to solve this issue.

    Further to my earlier post, I have just read an entry noting that if you already own a domain name, and ask your hosting service to forward and mask your iWeb '08 created, web.mac.com site to your personal domain, chances are that due to the masking of the site on web.mac.com, Safari browsers interpret the masking as being the end of the site, and as such, just return a blank page?
    This may explain the problem. However, call me old fashioned, and possibly a little naive, but surely this cannot be the problem?? It's OK in Firefox!

  • LabWindows/CVI 2013 SP2 stops working when I try to open a file using the project file menu.

    I have windows 7 on my system and sometime late last year I starrted getting a Windows dialog telling me that LabWindows/CVI has stopped working when I try to open a file from the project file menu.  I also get an error when I run a project debug mode and use a selectFilePopup in the code.  The error says, "The program has suspended execution at address 0x75D5025E.  No source line information is available."  I've tried removing and reinstalling CVI to no avail.  Any suggestions?

    Constantin,
    Thank you for your response.  I've attached screnshots showing the version details for kernal32.dll and ntdll.dll.  I also looked at the updates to see which might have been installed when the problem started.  Unfortunately there are 15-20 updates every month.  I didn't take note of when the error started to occur.  At first it only affected my ability to open files from within the project (i.e. file->open->Source, etc).  Then I went back to modify a project that had a SelectFilePopup and found that that wouldn't work either.

  • Issues Opening .docx Files - only the first 5 pages show

    We've been working on a 50 page document for about 10 days. All people could access the file without any issue and we turned on the ability where multiple editors can edit the document at one time. Three days ago something happened and some of us are no
    longer able to edit the document. We can see all pages in read-only but as soon as we edit we can only see the first 5 pages. The issue remains when we save an offline copy on our computers to work on. we still cannot access the pages past 5.
    If I save a copy as a .doc file we are able to edit it. However, if I upload a .doc file back to our SharePoint folder we cannot do simultaneous editing. What can I do so that everyone can access the file and we can simultaneously edit again? I'm really
    desperate for help. Thanks!

    that explains a lot, you didnt mention that critical part before.  I upload a lot to FTP sites as well
    originals fine.... but thru the server theyre corrupted, .....that narrows everything down.
    have you contacted sys admin for the server about this?

  • Open HTML pages in the same Browser

    HI All,
    I have a GUI with Help buttons which are required to open Help files in the default browser.
    Now i am able to acheive this using Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start iexplore url")
    But the problem here is everytime the user clicks on the help buttons on various screens of the UI it opens a new browser instance where as i want all the help files to open in the same browser window.
    How do i acieve this?
    Also i tried using rundll32 url.dll, FileProtocolHandler url... the problem with this command is it doesnt recognize the querystring part of the url.
    For ex : http://forum.java.sun.com/post.jsp?forum=31&skldfsdkfj
    here the cmd only recognizes until http://forum.java.sun.com/post.jsp and the rest of the url is truncated when the browser opens. Do i need to escape "?" in my java application itself
    I escape & with ^& and this works..But how abt for "?"
    Anyone has any idea abt this....Pls help
    ADN

    all browsers ask you when you install them if you want that one to be the default one.
    So yes, start or run32dll.exe can be used to launch the default browser.
    No, you can't control which window to show it in, with the possible exception of Mozilla (or a derivitive (sp?)) might have some command-line options to do that. But you can't know that it's a Mozilla browser that will run with start or run32dll.exe.
    Your other choice would be: search the file system for browser, or just ask the user for the path to the browser's exe in a preferences dialog or something.

  • How do I force safari to open pdf files using Adobe???

    How do I force safari to open pdf files using Adobe and not in the browser?

    You need Acrobat Reader as a Safari plug in.

  • What can I do to rectify the situation in which Firefox will not open pdf files in the browser, even though I have already used all the help suggestions to no avail?

    I have tried everything Mozilla has suggested. Still when I click on a pdf, I get the message that the browser cannot open a pdf. I have gone through the help protocol, and it does not work.
    I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it, and still not able to open pdf files within the browser.
    What else do I do, except go to IE or Chrome and just leave Firefox completely???

    A possible cause is the presence of a PDF plugin from an older Adobe Reader plugin in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.

  • Every time I open Safari, I get a message (and a pop-up) that says the Safari browser I'm using does not support Community Toolbar. How can I get rid of the Community Toolbar or at least turn it off?

    Every time I open Safari, I get a message (and a pop-up) that says the Safari browser I'm using does not support Community Toolbar. How can I get rid of the Community Toolbar or at least turn it off?

    That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

  • I am unable to connect to the internet, there is a pop-up that says "We're sorry, but the Safari browse version you are currently using dos no support the community toolbar". My computer does say that it is connected to the internet until I open Safari.

    I am unable to connect to the interent. At the top of the screen my computer says that I am connected. When I open up Safari there is a pop up that say "Community Toolbar          We're sorry, but the Safari browser version you are currently using does not support the community toolbar" and when the Safari page opens up it says "You are not connected to the Internet. Safari can't open the page .... because your computer isn't connected to the Internet." I have tried Network Diagnostics and tried to reset Sfari, empty Cache as well as deleted all of my interent history. I am unable to use Time Machine because I never set it up. If someone knows how to help I would very much appreciate it!!

    Some instructions for removing Community Toolbar are available in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15868085#15868085

  • Why when i click to open safari does it keep telling me the safari browser version i am using does not support the community toolbar ?

    Why when I am clicking into safari does a message appear telling me that the Safari Browser version I am using does not support the community toolbar ???

    You installed the Conduit spyware. To remove it, back up all data, then follow these instructions.
    If the instructions don't work, proceed as follows.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). From the Finder menu bar, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder…
    Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder named "Conduit" selected. If it does, delete the selected item.
    Repeat with this line:
    /Applications/Toolbars
    Now you're deleting a folder named "Toolbars". You may be prompted for your login password. Next, copy this line:
    /Library
    Select Go to Folder… again and paste. Don't delete the Library folder. Delete only the following items inside it, if they exist.
    Application Support/Conduit
    InputManagers/CTLoader
    LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
    Close the Finder windows you opened. Log out and log back in.
    I've seen a report that Conduit may be bundled with a scam "utility" called "MacKeeper." If you installed MacKeeper, you should remove it according to the developer's instructions. It's worthless and causes many problems reported on this site.
