New version comes up as 'Not Responding' when trying to load Google opening page.

I downloaded the new version and and the following happened:
1) It didn't overwrite the existing version, so I has 3.6 and 4 on my comp.
2) When I asked it to open my default opening page, Google, it came up with, 'Not Responding' every time
3) I uninstalled the old version and that made no difference, so I completely cleared my system of Firefox and then downloaded 4 again and 'Not Responding' appeared again.
4) I uninstalled 4 - after checking my firewall settings on McFee - and downloaded 3.6 again and it works perfectly.
I use a laptop with Vista Home Premium and Firefox is set as my default browser.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,
Which version of Acrobat do you have ?
(Launch Acrobat and Go to Acrobat->About Adobe Acrobat menu item and check the version )
Also, can you ping following urls ?
armmf.adobe.com
armdl.adobe.com
ardownload.adobe.com
Are these urls reachable ?
Also, you can check the contents of host file /etc/defaults/host to see that none of the ips are redirected.
One more thing that you could try:
If you have firewall on, could you please disable the firewall and then try the update. Does it works now ?

  • I keep getting result code -43 not found when trying to load certain instruments. Any idea why

    I keep getting error code -43 not found when trying to load certain instruments. Any ideas?

    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • Mail does not respond when trying to set up new account

    I'm trying to set up my brand new @me.com email account on my brand new Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion 10.8.1. I open Mail and it prompts me to write my name, email adress and password, which I do. Then, without fail, it says 'Searching for mail servers from the specified email address...' for a few seconds before freezing, with that message still displayed. I have to force quit Mail, which is said to be 'not responding'. Anyone know how to fix this?

  • I just bought a new Gateway desktop comeputer that runs windows 8 and I keep getting Firefox not responding when trying to view websites.

    My internet connection is good, so why is Firefox not responding?

    This problem can be caused by pages that use Flash media. Here is some standard guidance that addresses the most common reasons for Flash problems in Firefox. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
    (1) If you have installed any recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media, make sure they are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them.
    (2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
    (A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    (B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
    (3) Disable protected mode
    See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

  • "Update server not responding" when trying to update Acrobat 9 Pro

    I just installed Acrobat 9 Pro on my desktop computer and on my laptop. I was able to download and install the latest updates to the copy on my desktop computer (so that it is now version 9.3.0), using Help>Check for Updates.
    When I try the same command on my laptop, I get and error message that states "The update server is not responding, which means it may be offline at the moment, or the Internet or firlewall settings may be incorrect. Please try again later." I tried several times yesterday and today with the same error. The message pops up immediatley; it doesn't even seem to actually try to connect.
    I disabled my firewall and antivirus software and still get the same result. I uninstalled then reinstalled Acrobat and still get the same result.
    I looked online at Adobe.com to see about downloading and installing the updates manually, but it's difficult for me to tell which updates I need. Some are for other languages and some are for 64-bit but I have Windows 7 32-bit.
    A call to tech support was no help. The agent seemed to think because I installed verison 9.0 that I only needed the one English update listed on the download page under 9.0, and not any of the later updates. . . And he said that Adobe recommends manually installing updates from Adobe.com rather than using the Check for Updates command (?!).
    Anyway, does anyone know what might be causing this problem with the adobe updater? Maybe I need to reinstall the updater (where do I find it?).
    OR
    Can someone tell me which of the updates listed on the Acrobat dowload page I should manually install to bring my product up to date?
    [Running Windows 7 32-bit on both machines]
    Thanks.

  • HT1338 server will not respond when trying to update

    The Software Update Server (macupdate.cg.ac.uk) is not responding.
    Please help this is the message i get every time i try and update my software now i have an iphone 5 my itunes needs to be updated but it wont because i need the latest software update so i can download the new version of i tunes. I am using Mac OS X 10.6.7 i am running fine on internet and am connected with good broadband speed.
    Thanks in advance

    You're saying that there is an issue when trying to use Software Update to get to 10.6.8, correct? An alternate way to apply that update is to download the 10.6.8 update from the Apple download site.
    Before running it, bring up Disk Utility, repair permissions, apply the update, and repair permissions again when done. With that, you can now install iTunes 7.

  • Keynote not responding when trying to open Power Point downloads

    I'm downloading power point presentations from my university website and trying to open them with Keynote. It starts to open it up then just stops about a third of the way through the progress bar. The activity monitor says that keynote is not responding. I tried restarting my MBP, but did not work, keynote seems to be working fine when I start it on its own, any help appreciated.

    Come on, I'll try to help.
    At first I confess that I also had trouble opening the files I had in Power Point. One of them even have 1500 slides. But in Power Point opens quickly, because most are text.
    My solution: I opened the file in PowerPoint 2008 and saved it as "pptx". This is the latest version of pp. After I opened the keynote. The first time it takes to open and then gives some errors. It's just you solve, the error sources and images and save to "key" (keynote).
    I think it is. At least for me it worked.
    Sorry for English. I used a translator.

  • Get message firefox already running but not responding when trying to launch..tells me to close firefox wondow and try again (no ffox window is open)

    When trying to launch Firefox I get the following message.
    "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
    This is not the first time and I am tired of having to restart my computer. BTW I have Firefox as my default browser, but had to use IE to get to this support site!
    In answer to the next question...every time I TRY to open Firefox.

    Simple fix for you I think--it works for me.
    1. Open your TASK MANAGER (rt click on your taskbar)
    2. Go to PROCESSES
    3. Scroll down until you see "firefox.exe"(or anything with the word Firefox in it)
    4. Click(highlight) the "firefox.exe"
    5. At the bottom right side,click "End Process"
    6. Close the Task Manager and do whatever you were attempting to do.

  • Not responding when trying to work on BR project

    I am working on a 4 hour BR project.  Any time I try to do something on it, the project freezes and I get the not responding message.  Sometimes if I wait for a LONG time, it might come back, but usually when I click the mouse it locks again. I have tried run as administator.  I have tried W7 and Vista X64.
    Both behave the same way.  I had read others have had the same issue, but could not find a solution.
    THanks
    Dave

    Dave,
    The first thing that pops into my mind is, do you have Windows Indexing ON? It can lock AV and working files, while it does its "thing." The behavior is just as you report - Not Responding for a period of time, then things seem to come back. The Windows Indexing can be turned OFF in your HDD's Properties Panel in the OS. It cannot really index these files, but that will not stop it trying and trying, keeping these necessary files locked in the process.
    Note: other programs, like Roxio and Nero have "sniffer modules," and indexing modules. These can really mess things up, especially with large Projects and large files - both Assets and working files. See below, to check if you have any of these running. You'll need to check the time carefully. Maybe next Not Responding, write down the time, and then in Event Viewer check for that time. You will likely NOT get warnings, or errors, but regular messages - check everything at that time and see what is being started up and is running.
    If that does not help, this ARTICLE might help you find "clues" as to what is happening on your system, when the program goes into Not Responding.
    Good luck, and hope that something helps,
    Hunt

  • Itunes Not Responding when trying to eject Nano

    Hello. It's my first time to post here. And that's because I've never had any problems before, but that's not the case anymore.
    I recently upgraded itunes to 7.4.3.1. itunes works just fine until I try to add or remove songs or podcasts on my Nano. When I try to do this, it looks as if I can upload or remove songs, yet when I push the eject button to remove the nano, itunes freezes. I must right click on itunes in the taskbar and the not responding window opens and I must shut down itunes. I've left the ipod connected for an hour or more to see if that would help before trying to remove it, but that didn't not help.

    I have the same problem. Itunes temporarily hangs when I do almost any activity. Then after several seconds of no apparent activity (and Not Responding in the Task manager), it wakes up.
    The problem seems to be tied to Quick Time. Quick Time starts OK but has trouble and fits playing videos. I read in another post about uninstalling Quick Time then installing the stand alone version. Would that be appropriate for this problem?
    In the previous version of Itunes and/or Quick Time I had no problems, everythign worked smoothly Thanks for any suggestions.
    Regards,
    Alan Rovner

  • Firefox does not respond when trying to upload photos or files to Facebook, Google+, or similar sites.

    When trying to upload photos to various websites, Firefox brings up the pop up to view and select locations on your computer, but it never fully loads, it just kinda freezes, never allowing you to select files. I eventually get a 'This program is not responding' message and have to force close.

    Second times a charm!!!
    Maybe the link I had 1st time had a bug or something... I had installed it, restarted computer and all, exactly same process... and it had done nothing.
    But download page wasn't the same. Real weird.
    Good thing is, now it works!
    So to anyone who has had same problem, tried the "patch download" solution and didn't have any success (like me previously - which is why I posted)... TRY AGAIN! The link above works!
    Thanks
