It takes several minutes to open a pdf file....is this normal?
When I scan something and save as a pdf file, or when I hit something and say save as (PDF), when trying to retrieve it, my computer takes forever. This is not the case on other types of files (i.e. xls, doc, etc.) Is there a fix for this? I uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled and it seems to help for about a week....now we are back to WAITING WAITING WAITING!
There are various options you could try: open Adobe Reader | Edit | Preferences
Security (Enhanced): disable Protected Mode
General:
uncheck 'Show me messages when I launch Reader'
check 'Dont show message while viewing documents'

ITunes doesn't open when launched or takes several minutes to open
Just like the title says, iTunes doesn't open when I click the shortcut in the Start menu. It appears in the windows task manager under proccesses as 'iTunes.exe *32'.

Not sure what else I can do. I need to use iTunes to synce my mom's iPhone 4S and my iPod touch 3 Generation. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Opening Excel 2010 files from Explorer takes several minutes
I am running Excel 2010 on Windows 7. For the last year I have had no problems, but today I find that if I try to open any file from Windows Explorer (e.g. by double-clicking it), or from an item pinned to the Task Bar, it takes several minutes to open Excel.
If I open Excel directly it opens very quickly. I can also open any of the "problem" files in an instant when Excel is open (e.g. from the Recent Files list or from the File...Open dialog). All of the files in question are on the local hard
disk.
I don't have this problem with MS-Word.
I saw another post here which recommended unchecking the "Ignore
other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)" option, but I didn't have this option set in the first place.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for fixing this?Double click an excel file, when the excel loading window appears, start Task Manager, terminate the excel process, then re-open the excel file to test if this issue goes away.
Also someone resolved this issue by installing an add-in. Have a try.
File->options->Add-ins->Select "Excel Add-Ins" in Manage list box and click button "Go..." ->Tick the add-ins that you want and click button "OK"

We have just completed an upgrade of one of our servers executing Reporting Services. The upgrade was from 2005 to 2008.
After we have rendered a report and have it saved in PDF format, we start having issues.
If we try to open the PDF by double clicking on the file name in Windows Explorer, Adobe Reader starts, but sits unresponsive and consumes an excessive amount of CPU cycles. It never completes the open and we have to kill the Adobe Reader process in Task Manager.
If we start Adobe Reader, and then use the Menu to do FIle -> Open, the PDF file opens immediately.
We have attempted both methods using several different versions of Adobe Reader. The issue occurs on all versions prior to 9.3.
Since we are a service organization, we are unable to force our clients to upgrade to a more current version of Adobe Reader without providing assurances that this will correct this issue.
Has anyone else seen this type of issue with opening PDF files rendered by Reporting Services? And if so, what is the cause and how did you correct it?
Thanks
SteveHi there,
Please find attached a word document which contains the error that comes up when I try to open the PDF file. This PDF was e-mailed to me from one of the Safety companies that I receive e-mails from on a regular basis. I believe I am running Windows XP and the version of Adobe is Adobe Reader X. I hope this is enough info for you.

I install Adobe Acrobat 9 in my laptop which runs on windows 7. I use Firefox 3.6.8 and have the problem with the PDF file. The problem is I cannot open the PDF file in Firefox web browser at the first time I launch firefox. It shows a warning box without any message. Only OK button is shown so I can close it. However, if I manage to open the PDF file from my local computer by just using adobe acrobat itself then the PDF can be opened in the Firefox web browser. I followed the instruction on the mozilla help but nothing works for me. The problem still exists. I wonder if anyone have the same problem like me and know how to solve this. Thank you so much
Hi there!
I cannot help you, but I think we have a common problem: We got a system here running Vista SP1 with Acrobat 9 standard on it. When we open a pdf file it works normally, but when we open another pdf file, we see the first one in that second window.
Think that missing option to watch several files within a single window-thing messed up more than meets the eye ... but as we just purchased the 15 licenses, we have to use version 9.
I didn't find any clues on this problem, but I will post any new hints I get. -
Adobe Reader could not open a pdf file - either not supported file type or file damaged
On March 5th, I started getting the Adobe Reader error message "Adobe Reader could not open a pdf file because it is either not supported file type or the file has been damaged.
I get this when I try to open the pdf file as an attachment in Outlook 2013 from my G-Mail account. If I save the attachment and then try to open the pdf document, I get the same error4.
I get this error message with every pdf file that now comes to me in Outlook.
If I log on to my G-Mail I am able to open the pdf document. If I also save the attachment to my computer, I do not get the error message when I open the pdf file. This would suggest the file is okay
This would lead me to believe the problem maybe with Outlook.

Why is does my apple run SLOW.you go to open a program and the circle thing just spins for a delayed period of time. You change from typing in a word doc and go to say email or internet and it takes several minutes to allow you open anything up. Like it is frozen. I have tried rebooting the computer and it works for a few minutes then gets stuck.
Which model iMac do you have?
How large is your HD and how much space do you have left?

Whenever I wake my Mac from sleep, with Firefox having been left running, some parts of Firefox take several minutes to start working again. These include switching between open tabs and any website functionality that uses javascript, eg gmail. This has gone on through many updates of Firefox. If I quit Firefox immediately on waking the Mac and restart it, everything is OK.
The following worked for me:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/684867
"Problem: I had the same problem but with mac osx 10.5.8, Firefox 3.6.6 sometimes prints and sometimes does not, but the preview was always blank and I could not save to pdf file.
Solution: I downloaded Firefox 3.5.10, installed it on my desktop and opened it, tried print preview and it worked, quit Firefox 3.5.10 and ran 3.6.6 and voila! print preview is working fine and I can save to pdf fine.
I guess running 3.5.10 fixes the profile in a certain way. I have no idea how that happened but it worked." -
Hi
My Macbook Pro 15 inch takes several minutes to be able to connect to the internet after waking from sleep. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a fix?

The message that comes up when I click on "TomTom Home Install" is "You cannot open Home Install because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Does this mean that the TomTom, which is absolutely vital to my life - well, not literally but you know what I mean - can no longer be used with my MacBook Pro?
What that means is that is can't be used with Lion 10.7. PowerPC was the chip Apple used up until 2006 when they switched to Intel. At that point, they created the Rosetta emulator to allow for PPC support for 5 years. They finally dropped the support with the release of Lion. It will only work with OS X 10.6 or earlier. The other option is to purchase a new GPS, which can be had for $100 for a decent one. -
CS2 Doc Converted to CS3 takes 2+ Minutes to Open Every Time
We are in the process of switching 34 users from ID CS2 to ID CS3 and are having file conversion nightmares. They need to re-use their old CS2 ad layouts but many users are complaining that the conversion to CS3 takes several minutes. In our test period we had noted that but once the doc was converted the subsequent file opening time in CS3 was greatly reduced. But it now appears that when some users are opening the converted and saved docs they are still experiencing the same file opening delays as when the docs were being converted from CS2. Then a different user will open the same doc and it will open immediately. We have tried to find a common setup or preference or plug-in issue that might be a problem, but so far have struck out. 6 users have brand new MacPros running Leopard 10.5.2 with all Adobe CS3 patches installed. This group uses identically configured everything and they still have inconsistent file opening behavior! Some open instantly and others take 2-5 minutes for the same file. We have noted similar inconsistency amongst our users who still have GS PowerMacs running Tiger 10.4.11. Their CS3 is patched and fully updated. Now I would expect there to be inconsistencies between the Tiger and Leopard G5 and Intel groups, but we see the same thing with the same file taking different amounts of time to open after having been converted and saved and then opened again with the same-configuration users, no matter what they are using.
We use a Xinet file and print server and all users are supposed to work on files off the server so the working file stays up to date, but for testing we have been having them download the same files to their desktops and opening them. One of my test Macs is an Intel Mac running Tiger 10.4.11 and Adobe CS3 all updated and I use the same 3rd party plug-ins as everyone else. We only use two sets of 3rd party plug-ins - the Xinet WebNative and FullPress plug-ins and Extensis Suitcase X1 client Auto-Activation plug-in getting fonts from a Suitcase server.
We don't have the problem if documents are created from scratch in CS3. Unfortunately, it will take a very long time to get to where we would never be using any of our old CS2-created files, so we need to figure out a workable solution. It is mainly a question of time, which is something you never have enough of before your press deadline and the users are balking at the amount of production time they are losing waiting for files to open. They have a tendency to force-quit InDesign before it can finish opening and then they have to deal with all the file recovery dialogues the next time. They are getting very frustrated.
Has anyone run into this behavior or come up with a solution? If so I'd love to hear from you!
Thanks, Laura K.Hi Kevin,
I did some more trial and error testing since I posted my original message. This is what seems to be working:
You can leave the Suitcase Auto Activation plug-in there, but if you go into its preferences make sure the box for "Activate fonts in embedded objects" is not checked.
That made all the difference - so far. I need to try this on a couple more of my troubled Macs before I will declare victory!
In the Suitcase Client prefs you should also turn off Suitcase's auto activation and let the application plug-in handle that. I read that somewhere else a couple days ago, maybe it was the Extensis forums? Can't remember. But that's how I have mine set on my test Macs. (one MacPro running Tiger and a MacBook Pro running Leopard)
Hope that helps!

As per my question, when i ask it to print it tells me it is looking for my printer this takes several minutes before it prints. my wife is in the same room using an imac also using a bluetooth connection to the same printer and hers prints immediately. why is this.
Perhaps you could try this to resolve your issue:
*How to Reset the Printing System*
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse (or right click if supported).
4. Click "Reset printing system ..."
5. Restart your Mac
This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your print queues again. -
Firefox takes several minutes to load
It takes several minutes for Firefox to load every time I log in. Takes longer if computer is started. Have troubleshot everything I could find with no avail. It's getting old and all that I have read I can't believe Mozilla has not heard and fixed this problem.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I think it was when I updated.The question certainly isn't solved. I have no trouble with speed when entering sites - it's just when first trying to enter Mozilla. I tried IE this morning as a test and was into the home page in a few secomds. Moxilla 8 takes about a minute and a half. Version 3.6 loads immediately. I previously tried vers 8 a couple of weeks ago and web sites took a long time to load. This was not a problem after using vers 3.6 for a while and then re-downloading vers 8. I am still frustrated by the slow load up time it takes to get to the home page and believe this may be something the system administrators need to fix..
