New Mac, new software, can't open .fdf - Reader and Safari 'flicker'

My brand-new Xeon tower with OS 10.6.4 is loaded with the latest software version of everything, and when I try to open an .fdf file (Dental Claim Form from my work benefits) Reader has a conniption, booting up Safari (no matter which browser I'm using) and then 'flickering' as Reader and Safari try to take the front window from each other. Safari is Version 5.0 and Reader is 9.3.3. I tried uninstalling the Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plug-In to see if I could force it to read as a Firefox plug-in, but it still boots up Safari and has a battle for front screen. Nothing is crashing though, I can click on the File menu and whichever app is front when I click gives me a menu I can Quit from. I just want to get an address to send a claim form to, not play software games!!!

  • New Mac w/Leopard can I erase 10.5 and replace w/10.4?

    Just bought a new MacPro 2.66 etc. I have a powerBk G4 w/10.4 The new mac has 10.5 installed from Fac. Can I erase this and reinstall w/10.4? Is this ok to do?

    I wish I could help you, but I ran into problems when I tried to re-install 10.4 on my iMac G5 2.1 ghz. Like quite a few Mac users, I have run into various problems/issues. When installing Leopard, I did an "Erase & Install", but still experienced several of the issues others on this board has mentioned.
    So, to get back that happy and content feeling I have had since I switched to Mac a few years ago, I decided to re-install Tiger. But - no way.
    When rebooting my iMac with the Tiger installation DVD, it after a while replaced the grey apple in the boot-up window with an icon showing a forbidden sign (you know, the "O" with a slash through it).
    A little frustrated, I ejected the DVD, continued the boot and then tried again. Same thing - full stop and I was not allowed to continue. I may mention that I am not talking about an upgrade/downgrade install - I didn´t even get to the point where you can begin the installation and make a choice.
    I then restarted with the Leopard DVD and from the menu found the disk utilities and erased the disk (no turning back now - lol), hoping it would wipe Leopard and leave the disk clean enough for Tiger to be installed.
    With the Tiger DVD in the computer, I restarted again. With a sinking feeling I got the same "forbidden" sign in the boot-up window. That is when I was becoming a little sad, since I had run of options (at least the options I knew about).
    I managed to eject the Tiger DVD and had no choice but to reinstall Leopard. However, now I suddenly got the choice to "Install OS X for the first time" during the setup process. Since all my stuff was erased anyway (yes, of course it was backed up when I started ), I chose this option.
    And the funny thing is that I have a feeling that Leopard works slightly better now. If it is due to the erasing of the disk or the fact that I installed the 10.5.1 directly after installing 10.5, I cannot tell. But it feels a bit better than it did the first time.
    Why I was not allowed to reinstall Tiger, even after erasing Leopard first and on a computer that originally came with Tiger, I cannot tell. I may mention that I also did reset the pram, but it made no difference.
    Again - maybe not helpful, but wanted to share my experience since I know your feeling
    All the best,
    Espen

  • I need to work on an iMovie I already started on one Mac, but want to finish it on my new Mac. How can I transfer the movie and not lose any formatting?

    What do I do?

    Hi
    You need an external hard disk to do this.
    (No I don't think USB-memory will do)
    • Should be a FireWire one (as USB/USB2 performs badly to me)
    • MUST BE - Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will not work for VIDEO
    All moving of Projects and Events - MUST be done Within iMovie application - NOT on DeskTop/Finder (else a great risk that iMovie loses track of them and You get a project that do not work OK)
    • In iMovie Project window - Move over Project over to the New External Hard Disk - And it will ask if You want a Copy (I would)
    • If Event's is not moved - Then in Events window - move the needed ones over too
    Now - If You used Photos and Audio from iPhoto or iTunes or from folder on Mac - then copy this over too. So that You've got all needed material copied to tne new ext. HD.
    Then connect it to Your other Mac and move things wher You want them to be.
    Yours Bengt W

  • Can't open adobe reader in safari on my Macbook

    When I click on a link to open a pdf document while on the internet, a new tab opens in safari and begins to load but freezes up. The only way I've been able to view the document is to actually right click and download it onto my computer. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling adobe but the problem persists. The weird thing was before I downloaded adobe I was able to open up pdf documents on safari using "Preview" program that comes with my Mac. Now even when I've uninstalled adobe, I still can't get the page to load. See below for a visual. Another strange thing to note is this does not happen to all pdf documents I try to open in safari, occasionally I get lucky and am able to load them to completion and view online, but most of the time it does not load. I've googled, attempted adobe help menu, even call the apple store but nobody has been able to solve this issue. Please help, thank you!

    I've moved your question to the Adobe Reader forum for desktop and laptop computers.

  • Since connecting my new Cinema display, I can't open Final Cut Express because I don says Quartz extreme, Since connecting my new Cinema display, I can't open Final Cut Express because I don says Quartz extreme

    Since connecting my new Cinema display to my new Mac Pro, I can't open Final Cut Express.  I get the message that I need Quartz Extreme to use it.  How come it isn't in my brand new computer or monitor??  I could use FCE fine with an old monitor.  HELP!

    I finally called Apple support on Monday (couldn't on Sunday - it surprised me that they don't have 24/7 phone support).  Tech had no idea, so put me onto a 'supertech' (in America?).  He instructed me to reset the whole computer - turn it off, unplug it and then hold down 4 keys while it rebooted.  That worked.  I can now open Final Cut Express and iMovie.  There's no reference to 'Quartz Extreme' in my 'About This Mac' display info, but I don't care, everything works now, hooray!  (Now if I can only get my Mac mouse to work properly...)

  • Migration Assistant: Problems transferring data from PC (XP SP3) to new Mac Pro 2012 - can not get Migration Assistant to work as PC will not display verfify passcode

    Migration Assistant: Problems transferring data from PC (XP SP3) to new Mac Pro 2012 - can not get Migration Assistant to work as PC will not display verfify passcode
    Hello, I am having problems migrating data from my old PC running XP (SP3) to my new Mac Pro 2012 using the Migration Assistant.
    - I downloaded and installed the Windows Migration Assistant from Apple
    - My Mac recognized PC and displays passcode
    - The sasscode does not show / display on my PC
    - My Mac is then stuck in "authenticating" loop and the PC is stuck "waiting for Mac to connect."
    - Both computers are connected on same network (have connected PC on WIFI and using ethernet to Reuter)
    I have looked on support site and only response I saw says to reinstall Windows Migration Assistant (which I have done)
    Any ideas?  If cant get this to workare there instructions for manually bring across relevant data eg itunes music and apps, photos, picasa data etc?

    Why not turn off the Windows firewall and uninstall any other firewall software you have installed?
    If you are using a Norton product uninstall it and discard it. To fully unistall most Norton products you have to go to the Norton website and download a soecial program to completely get rid of it. The normal uninstall feature built into the program will not remove all of it.

  • New motherboard; now I can't open Pages w/out buying it

    Hopefully, there's a simple answer for this prob. I recently had to take my iMac in for a new motherboard. Now, with the new motherboard installed, I can't open Pages, even though I could before I had the repair made. (It was paid for when I ordered the iMac several years ago.)
    I have no idea where/what my serial number/registration might be. I had received it back in 2006.
    What do I do now to access the software I paid for previously?
    As always, thanks in advance for any help on this.

    Uh, yea. I realize I'm working w/ '06 software, yet the issue is the same regardless of when it was purchased or what forum I'm asking about it in: Purchased software worked. New motherboard installed. Now software doesn't work. What to do?
    Sorry to upset your ordered view of the world.

  • I am using several Macs running Yosemite. I was recently "upgraded" to Xfinity's new cable modem which can support both 2.5Ghz and 5Ghz networks at the same time. Actually I can connect to the internet over both with a satisfactory bump in speed for

    I am using several Macs running Yosemite. I was recently “upgraded” to Xfinity’s new cable modem which can support both 2.5Ghz and 5Ghz networks at the same time. Actually I can connect to the internet over both with a satisfactory bump in speed for the Ghz. However when I connect to the 5Ghz the Time capsule disappears from the Airport Utility and claims to be Not Found. Is there something I have done wrong or just a Yosemite Teething Problem

    First restart your mac and try again.
    It could be
    that the router and the TC are interfering wirelessly with each other.
    You can check this by pressing the option key while clicking on the wireless icon on your screen
    Open Wireless Diagnostics
    enter your user password
    Press CMD 4 then Scan
    You will see all the wireless channels being used in your location and you can check if they are on the same channel
    Make the SSID for the TC simple like MyTC
    Set 5Ghz to auto
    Update the TC
    Try again

  • I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?

    I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?

    Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
    To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?...  or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?

  • Bought a new macbook air because my old computer is formatted. I want to sync my iphone to my new mac, so I can save the data on my iphone without losing data. how can I do?

    bought a new macbook air because my old computer is formatted. I want to sync my iphone to my new mac, so I can save the data on my iphone without losing data. how can I do?

    You need to copy everything form your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  it simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
