Message "Do you mean to switch apps? Reader is trying to open Internet Explorer" in blue bar. Why

First time user. Instructions on how to use not clear. My problem is the message "Do you mean to switch apps? Reader is trying to open Internet Explorer?" suddenly appeared in blue bar. Occurs with I click on links in PDF. What caused this? How to fix? How to avoid it from happening again?
Same conflict with email links, just different message: "Do you mean to switch apps? Reader is trying to open mail?"
Goal: Do not want to switch apps and do not want to be asked this question.
Environment: Windows 8, file developed in Publisher 365, Reader 10 "I think"

Thank you for responding. I have recreated the error, but cannot figure out how to use Snipping Tool to get screenshot of a Windows 8 panel. Have the tool placed in the tool bar, but tool bar not accessible on the PDF display. Any suggestions?

PDF links in Windows 8 Give Message "do you mean to switch apps"

When viewing a pdf in Windows 8 that has links, a click on the links pops up a message "do you mean to switch apps?" which you have to address before you can goto the URL.
Is there any way to prevent this message from coming up?

HT201262 what do you do when an app quits unexpectedly before it opens?

what do you do when an app quits unexpectedly before it opens?

It could be Mountain Lion. Developers have had access to Mountain Lion beta builds for many months, so it seems like they would have worked out the bugs before release, especially a major bug that causes the app to crash. Make sure you are installing the latest version downloaded from the developer's web site, not a version that came with your Kobo device.
Sometimes, an app's preference file gets corrupted and the app crashes when it tries to read its preference file at launch. So you can try deleting its preference file, so that the app can create a new one.
In Finder, from the menu bar, select Go -> Go to Folder. Type
/Users/<your user home folder name>/Library
replacing <your user home folder name>.
This will take you do your user account Library folder. Go into the Preferences folder, and find the preference file for the Kobo app. Its name will probabaly start with "kobo" or "com.kobo" or otherwise have "kobo" as part of the name, and end in ".plist". Drag this file to the Desktop (so that it's no longer in the Preferences folder); don't trash it because if this is not the problem, you can put it back later.
Then, try running the Kobo app again.

Pages app freezes when trying to open .doc file

Hello everyone!
Recently I faced the problem with opening .doc files originally created in Word for Windows in Pages. If the .doc file contains any table, Pages app constantly freezes trying to open it so I have to Force quit it. It happened with few documents containing tables. If the .doc file contains no tables everything works OK.
I've tried to open files created in Word 2003 and 2007 for Windows. My iWork's version is 4.0.3 (766).
Can anyone help me please?

Hi Old-cockatoo
Welcome to the forum.
Try altering the format/ing of the original file and see what may be the cause. e.g. Try saving to .rtf.
Check if there are unsupported features in the Word tables, such as rotated text in cells or a rotated page. Essentially look for variances that could trigger the problem.
Also look for alternatives to Pages:

Pages is not a full substitute for MsWord despite what Apple suggests, implies, hints, intimates, signals, presupposes, infers, signals, says indirectly, gives you to understand… but doesn't actually say if you read the fine print.

I need an Ipad app web browser that will emulate internet explorer as my MLS real estate system only uses internet explorer. Why is Atomic full version not available in the app store is there another browser that will do this

I need an iPad app web browser that will emulate internet explorer as my MLS real estate system uses only internet explorer. Why does Atomic no longer sell the full verison. What web browser can I use?

Probably none. It's very possible that the reason the MLS required Internet Explorer is that they use technologies (such as Active-X) that are proprietary to Microsoft and so would not be available from the iPad even if a browser will report itself as being Internet Explorer.
You can try iCab Mobile, though, and see if it will work for you:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icab-mobile-web-browser/id308111628?mt=8
It has the ability to identify itself as other browsers, so if the site is only blocking other browsers and not depending on IE's technology, iCab might work. There could be problems, though, even if the site lets you in.
Hope this helps.

After downloading an app and later trying to open the app, the iPad screen turns green and nothing happens

After downloading an app, then later trying to open it again, the iPad screen turns green and nothing happens. How can I fix this?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sifnout and sign back in
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

Adobe reader 9.4.0 requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater

Hello,
I have a user who has reported Adobe Reader was not installed on his PC, which we complete via GPO as default for all our computers, and has never been an issue (WinXP and Win7 (x64) ). When attempting to install the reader manually, I received "Adobe reader 9.4.0 requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater" This is a Win7 box. It comes with IE 8! Can anyone point me to the registry path the installer is looking for to determine the version of IE? I've checked HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer and verified both "Version" and "W2kVersion" read 8.0.7601.17514.
I realize Reader X is available. We're not ready to deploy it yet. So any suggestion other than simply "install Reader X" is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time.

I know I'm considerably late to the reply here, but I had the same issue with a Reader X install done via GPO. This may be relavent info for the future, and may work for Reader 9 as well
I read that someone had tried running the command line uninstall for an older version of reader, as it seemed to have not been removed completely. I threw together a batch file to attempt to remove all the reader installs we had available along with the font packs. Some of the font packs won't remove unless reader is present, so it re-installs the latest reader, removes the font packs again (to get whatever it missed) then reloads the font packs.
So far this approach is 1 for 1. Hopefully it helps out if you still need it.

Java apps hang when trying to open file dialog

I have several Java applications installed on my Windows Vista machine
All work perfectly except when accessing any file dialogs.
If a file dialog is required, the application just hangs
The only way to resolve this is to open task manager and kill the javaw.exe process
Does anyone know what is wrong.
I am using Java 6 update 17 and have tried re-installing the environment.

I don't think the problem lies with the vendor apps.
All Java applications from whatever source exibit this problem. These are independently developed applications from independent vendors.
I don't have a Java application on my machine that does not exhibit this issue.
I thought that the problem must be permisions, but am not sure where to look.One or more of the following could be the source of the problem.
- The apps
- Your computer
- The VM
The first can in fact be the problem because you are not running all possible apps on your computer. Far as you know all the apps that you run use the same library.
No one here has access to your computer so no one will be able to fix it. No one here has access to those apps so we can fix those either.
If and only if the vendor of the apps determined that there is a bug in the VM then they could localize it and report it. Without localization and assurance that it is the VM no one can fix it.
Keep in mind as well that Vista has been out for years. So it seems likely that a general problem with the VM like that would have been discovered by now. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but again the vendor of the apps is more likely to discover it.
For yourself trying running the apps in super user mode (whatever it is called.) If it is a permissions problem then that demonstrates it. Note that if it is permission problem then it most assuredly is one that the vendors must deal with. Just as any other app on Vista must do.

App crashes when trying to open window

Hi guys.
At the moment, my Cocoa Mac application is set to terminate when the last window is closed. I want to run a confirmation alert when the app is about to quit using the following code;
- (NSApplicationTerminateReply)applicationShouldTerminate:(NSApplication *)sender
int choice = NSRunCriticalAlertPanel (@"Confirm",
@"Are you sure you wish to permanently quit Posture? Doing so will stop any further alerts.",
@"Cancel",
@"Yes",
nil,
@"a format");
if(choice == NSAlertDefaultReturn)
[mainWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
return NSTerminateCancel;
else
return NSTerminateNow;
The trouble is, when I call [mainWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil] the app will crash, before reaching the NSTerminateCancel.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this would be happening? The mainWindow is still loaded into the memory, and has not been de-allocated.
I'd appreciate any help!
Thanks,
Ricky.

Adobe Flash player (I ran scan & got "You have version 9,0,45,0 installed") works on internet explorer emails, BUT it does not work using firefox keeps giving me a pop up need Flash 9 or higher.

I have Adobe Flash player 9 or higher (I ran your scan-You have version 9,0,45,0 installed) and it always works with Internet Explorer emails BUT every time I click to open incoming email I get a pop up "need to install flash 9 or higher". What can I do? Can I get rid of it? It only happens in internet mail.
Pat

Visit [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ this Adobe page] with both browsers to update your Flash version; Firefox uses a different install than IE, so having one doesn't mean you have the other.

Why am I unable to access my new Post Office Account they state that you will not allow and I will have to use Internet Explorer why?

I have just opened a new account with the Post Office but I am unable to access this on the net. Telephoned Customer Services but say that I will not be able to access through Firefox and will have to use Internet Explorer. Going back to Internet Explorer is not something I want to do because I like Firefox, please explain why Firefox is blocking access if this is true. I have clicked 'allow' but it made no difference and the only message coming up is "timed-out" when I have been much less than 5 mins putting security details. Please advise. Paula

I doubt if Firefox is blocking access. More than likely, that website is made to use ActiveX, or other proprietary Microsoft code, that only Internet Explorer can handle.
If you post the address of that "Post Office" website, maybe one of us support helpers can figure out the exact reason for that.

Apps closing while trying to open them after update to iOS 6

My phone apps have been starting to open when I select them but immediately close no errors they just close. Safari did this while looking up websites and several other apps started doing it today. Sometimes after several attempts of opening one of the apps it will stay open and seem to be ok. If you double tap the home button and close the app it then will have an issue opening again for several attempts. I have had no problems with this phone and was so happy to have dumped droid but now after the update this issue is getting annoying. I have shut down and rebooted phone I removed and reloaded one app and it seems better but still acting strange. I am thinking about going back to iOS 5.

Actually DIESEL they do force you to update. my wife has not update hers yet to ios6 and none of the apps work at full tilt anymore because they are all updated for ios 6....Apple is now making you either update(and ruin your iphone 4s) or buy the new iphone 5(which i doubt will have any of the problems people with iphone 4s are having).
Since updating my 4s i have lost signal, data has been very low at best. i can not access any apps or they open up and do not refresh. I use to have 4bars at my work and now i have 1.

App-v package which needs Excel + Internet Explorer

Hi,
I need to package an application (App-V 4.6) on Windows 2008 which need Internet Explorer and Excel.
Please advise howto do this. I packaged the application but when starting the Excel plugin it says it can't find the application itself.
Please advise.
J.
Jan Hoedt

Sequence the application on a machine that has Office on it. Create a shortcut which points to the locally installed Excel. Also create one point to the local IE. When these shortcuts are launched it will launch the users local Excel and IE into the virtual
environment, allowing them to see the virtual plug-ins.
If you did this but opened Excel or IE during the sequence, go back and do it again and don't launch them. Or at least make sure that both have been launched before sequencing so that when you launch during sequencing it's not the first time they have
been launched on that machine (help avoid first run junk getting captured)

Reader Toolbar not Working in Internet Explorer

I can open a PDF file in IE or Firefox; however, none of the options on the toolbar work. For example, if I click on the disk icon to save a PDF, my cursor turns to a circle with a slash throught it. I tried removing Reader and reinstalling without luck. any help would be appreciated.

Bill, here are a couple of things to try:
o As a workaround, use Control-Shift-S to save the PDF file. It's only the icons that appear to be not working. The keyboard shortcuts seem fine.
o Swith to 16-bit color to see if you are having the same problem as the rest of us. In Vista, it would be
- Right-click on the desktop and choose Personalize
- Select Display Settings
- Change Colors from Highest (32 bit) to Medium (16 bit)
- Click on Apply . . .
If that works, you'll have to choose between the things in Vista that you may like, and Adobe Reader. I hear that some people are changing the color setting when the enter and exit Adobe Reader.
My uneducated guess is that it's a Vista problem, and that (here's an optimistic hope) it'll be resolved with Vista Service Pack 1, which is due out this quarter.
