Macbook Pro crashes on opening certain pdf files namely Nationwide. Recently upgraded to Yosemite, any ideas?

Macbook Pro crashes then restarts on opening pdf files namely the Nationwide BS, other pdf's unaffected. I have recently upgraded memory from 4GB to 8GB to see if that helped which it hasn't   the version I'm running is OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 (15inch early 2011) 2GHz intel core i7 with memory 8GB 1333MHz DDR3

If your MBP has had a kernel panic. log and post it for review.

  • I get an error when trying to open certain PDF files in Lion on Mac.

    I am having trouble opening CERTAIN .PDF files on my MacBook Pro. I am running Lion. The file is attached to a Gmail message as a standard .PDF file.
    This is my error:
    "File "XX" cannot be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format Preview does not recognize."
    I have also downloaded Adobe X reader to see if the compatibility issue is just with Preview. I get an error that the file is "damaged" and cannot be recovered. Meanwhile, the file downloads/opens just fine on Windows XP Office and iOS (on my iPad). So I am thinking that it must be some sort of compatibility issue with Lion.
    So far, other .PDF files open on my MB Pro. I haven't tried all of my saved .PDF files, but I did try a couple.
    Anybody have any suggestions? There seems to be an error with this particular file opening in Lion, but not with the same file opening on another operating system.

    The issue mysteriously resolved itself. I shut down the computer, and the next day I booted back up and tried to open the same file, and everything was OK. Very bizarre, since I had opened it previously on this same MacBook. Anyway, anyone have any insight into what happened?

  • Why does IE crash when opening a pdf file ?

    Why does IE crash when opening a pdf file ?

    I think this is done by the browser when it is saving a temporary file and there's already a file with that exact name in the temp folder.

  • Adobe freezes opening certain PDF Files

    Hi!
    We have a problem with the new Version Adobe Reader 9. When you open certain pdf files by double clicking them in Windows Explorer, Adobe Reader 9 Window opens and then freezes at 100% CPU load.
    Other pdf files are OK.
    Open Adobe Reader first and then choose File - Open works too.
    Common thing of both pdf files is that they were created out of Winword printing it against a pdf printer called "pdf x-change".
    Open the file with Version 8 or Foxit Reader works.
    Any hints?

    Sorry, no solution - i can not force everybody in the world to use adobe acrobat. Another customer had exactly the same problem with another pdf that was created by someone else

  • Is it possible to view .bbb files in a mac? how? I am transferring my bberry contacts onto my macbook pro, but cannot open the .bbb files...

    Is it possible to view .bbb files in a mac? how? I am transferring my bberry contacts onto my macbook pro, but cannot open the .bbb files...

    Well, if simply double-clicking the .bbb file doesn't work, first try dragging the file onto the BBDM icon (either in the Dock, on the desktop or in the Applications folder or wherever it's stored). That tells Finder to open it with that application.
    Otherwise, right-click on the file and choose the Open With option. If BBDM is not the default, select Get Info and use the Open with box from there to select it (if it's not in the list, choose 'other' and navigate to it), then click the 'change all' button.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below 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 the letters “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.
    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.

    Hi, I have a macbook pro 17" 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo 2007, will upgrading to Yosemite slow me down or create problems with my Iphone or other app ?

    Yes, i do not suggest upgrading right now. There is some software malfunction or glitch that spontaneously shuts down this specific model. I upgraded and it was a pain to downgrade and make my mac usable again.

  • Safari crash after opening a PDF file

    For the past week or so, everytime a link leads to a PDF file, Safari loads the file and then immediately crashes. I have checked my disk, verified and fixed any permissions, etc. but the problem persists. Although I checked the "report" button when I got the message from the OS, I have not heard back from anyone.
    Has anyone else experienced such a behavior? I suspect that it is not related to Safari, but rather to Adobe Acrobat, since I always have a similar experience when Adobe tries to look for updates. The Adobe Update Manager crashes the minute it is launched. I have even tried to udate my Acrobat 7.0 for some new patches but I cannot get to them fo some reason or another, mostly because the Adobe system seems to be down for maintenance most of the time. I saw that one of the updates is marked "critical".
    I have saved the "log file" after the last crash, about an hour ago (if that helps anyone).
    Thanks for any hints.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Apple does not respond to submitted crash reports. Rather, they are used for software development purposes. Best thing to do in this forum is to copy/paste a copy of the entire report to your reply in this thread.
    If you see a relationship between the Adobe crashes and Safari opening a PDF file, then go to Adobe Acrobats preference file>Internet and designate Apple's "Preview" as your PDF reader. Then, go to the Finder and move to your desktop your Adobe Reader plug-in from your Internet Plug-ins folder either the main or user library). Restart Safari and try a PDF (it ought to now open within the browser). If Safari does not crash, then yes, the problem lies with Adobe. Something you can take up in one of Adobe's own forums.

  • Safari 4 crashes when opening a pdf file

    Hi,
    Since that last update safari crashes everytime I want to open an pdf file. Any thoughts on how to fix this. Or help me get back tot the previous safari.

    HI,
    There are no Mac viruses in the wild.
    I think the problem here is that you are running 10.3 (Panther). That limits you to how far you can go as far as Safari versions.
    Unfortunately, an iMac G3 can't support the latest versions of web browser content including Flash.
    Safari 4 requires:
    ▪ Any Mac running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7 or Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 and Security Update 2009-002
    ▪ Mac with an Intel processor or a Power PC G5, G4, or G3 processor and built-in FireWire®
    ▪ 256MB of RAM
    ▪ Top Sites and Cover Flow on Mac OS X Tiger require a Quartz-Extreme compatible video card. More details

  • The thunderbolt firmware 1.2 update keeps reappearing. I have a MacBook Pro and 2011 Thunderbolt display. Did not discionnect when upgrading to Yosemite (only read the instructions later). Thanks.

    Hi There,
    I have a MacBook Pro (late 2011) and a Thundertbolt Display. I have recently upgraded to Yosemite. Since then Thunderbolt Firmware update 1.2 keeps reappearing and I cannot complete the update (with and without display connected etc.). Any advice? Thanks.

    Hello HTG65,
    If the Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2: Keeps reappearing try reinstalling it following the steps in this article.
    Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2: Keeps reappearing and Thunderbolt ports and Target Display Mode may not work - Apple Support
    To resolve this issue:
    Shutdown your computer.
    Disconnect all Thunderbolt devices.
    Wait 10 seconds.
    If you are using a Mac mini with a Thunderbolt display, reconnect the Thunderbolt display directly to your computer via the Thunderbolt port. Do not connect other Thunderbolt devices at this time.
    Restart your computer.
    If the Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2 is offered, download and install it and restart your computer when asked. If the Thunderbolt Update is not offered, the update has installed correctly.
    Reconnect all Thunderbolt devices.
    Take care,
    Nubz
