Pdf docs will load on MacBook but not iMac

I have an iMac and a Macbook Air. Both bought in the past three years. I am running a proprietary back end database which uses a browser as a front end and is Java dependant.. Both have current versions of OS Mavericks, Java, safari and mozilla. The database contains pdf docs that are displayed with the standard pdf icon. When I click on the icon in my MacBook, they load into Word or Adobe on a separate page. When I click on the icons in my iMac they do not load. Does anyone have and ideas?

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. I realized I was not clear. The docs are resumes. If they are Word docs, they open in Word. If they are pdf, they open in Adobe Acrobat Pro. These open fine on my MacBook Pro, but not the iMac. When I try opening them on the iMac, I get a Java error message. Any ideas?

Hi Dexterfreak95,
It sounds like you got a good start to Home Sharing as you have it one direction.

PDF Portfolio will open in IE, but not in Firefox or Chrome

I have a PDF Portfolio linked on my site. I can open it fine in IE (version 9), but it will not open in Firefox 21 or Chrome 27. When I click on the link, I get the message "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later." Even though I can open it fine in IE and I know I already have the correct version, I click on the link/button to download now. It says it installs successfully, but I still am unable to open it in the two browsers.
Any advice is appreciated!

Reminders show on calendar MacBook but not iMac?

Hi everyone,
I've recently installed Mountain Lion (version 10.8.3) on my late 2009 iMac and miss the to-do list that showed up on the sidebar of iCal in Snow Leopard.
I now see that there is a separate Reminders app but nothing from my calendar shows up in it.
When I look at Calendar on my late 2011 MacBook Pro, the reminders show up on the left hand side of it, why doesnt that also happen on my iMac?
MYOB uses Calendar to add bill due dates but its often more difficult to view whats due when and in what order, well at least a little more difficult than when I could see it in a ordered list and check them off as completed in Snow Leopard.
I know this is probably one of the more trivial questions but its really annoying me!!
Any help you can offer would be appreciated. I just dont understand why the layout isnt the same across the iMacs and MacBooks?
Thanks
Kristy
n.b. I am using an icloud calendar, not an On My Mac calendar.

Thanks, yes I have iCloud set up.
My question is why do reminders (or to-do's) not show on my iMac calendar they do on my MacBook Pro?
I do not need to sync from the iMac to any other devices. I just want the Calendar and Reminders app on my iMac to sync, and would really like to learn if there is a way to have reminders show up on the calendar itself.
I just checked my MacBook Pro version and its running Lion which still uses iCal. Possibly thats the reason they are different.
I will admit I'll be disappointed if this is just something thats not included with Mountain Lion.

Messages Notifications working on Macbook but not iMac

So I update to Mavericks two days ago and everything is working great except for Messages. Now on my macbook, Messages works completely fine. I get a Notification when I get a new text from iMessage on my iOS and the syncing is great. But the problem I have is that on my iMac at work, Im not able to receive notifications for Messages. The syncing with my iOS is completely fine but I don't receive any Notificaitons. All of the settings are completely the same on both computers. And I've tried rebooting my phone as well.
Any suggestions?

HI,
In Applications/Utilities open the Activity Monitor
Find the Notification item and highlight it.
Now use the quit option top left and confirm Force Quit.

New PC with Windows XP, replacing XP. My PDF docs will not open

New PC with Windows XP, replacing XP. My PDF docs will not open and I am getting the following messages: EITHER Adobe Reader could not open ‘xxx.doc’ because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn’t correctly decoded). OR Word will now convert your PDF to an editable Word document. This may take a while. etc. Help please.

These are two completely different symptoms. Please explain exactly what you do when you get either of these messages. Also tell us your Reader version.

When i burn videos to a dvd-r disc it works on my macbook but not on a windows/pc or my dvd player. How can i make it work on all the above and not just a mac product?

Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

Wifi signal working on my MacBook, but not on my IPhones. Why?

I've been having trouble with my network signal strength for the last few weeks since my service started. My ISP is DirecTV.
Today, my service went down completely and after I called them, it came back about an hour later. I now have Internet service on my MacBook, but not on any of my mobile devices, including IPhones. They are unable to see the base station.
I've rebooted many times. Occassionally, it will see my network signal, but then it drops off. I have a Motorola SB5101 Modem. One thing I do know from calling DirecTV so often is that the tech on the phone today did change my IP address. Does that have anything to do with my problem?
My fear is that if I call them again, I will once again be without any Internet access, so I'm waiting patiently on a Thursday appointment, but if I can do anything to fix it now, I'd like to. Thank you.

there might be something different on the mac you can try appleid.apple.com and reset your password i would also check the mac to see which appleid is signed you may have multiple apple ids and not know

Why can I receive iMessages sent to my phone number on my macbook but not my iPad?

Why can I receive iMessages sent to my phone number on my macbook but not my iPad?
My iPhone phone number appeared as a recipient option on my mac as soon as I launched Messages on my iPhone but not on the iPad and I can't find a way to add it.

You do not have an app but you can setup your iMessage on the iPhone and switch it on (as it is since you receive messages on the iPhone).
In the same setup screen under iMessage you should have send receipt, send as SMS and also Send and Receive howmanyadress > Click on here and you will enter a new screen.
On top there should be you Apple ID and under your phone number. Under the phone number you can add some Mail adress to be used for iMessage. I believe it is important ot have the Apple ID on the top of this screen and at least one Apple Mail checked as to be used for iMessage.
This should be enought to get iMessage both on iPhone and Mac.
Try this and let iCloud to sync for few minutes and you should have the data on the Mac too.

Sorry for the delay...
I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
Thanks for the help, anyway!!

How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play in quicktime but not iTunes

How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play with quicktime but not iTunes so I can't sync them

Th AVPlayerHD works well for playing other video types. You can transfer the videos via USB in the app tab in iTunes on your computer. When you open that tab when you have you iPad connected to the computer scroll down and you will see apps listed on the left and a blank on the right. Click on the app and then click on the add button under the blank window on the right. Then navigate to the video you want to play and it will transfer it to the iPad. I have about 14 movies on mine using AVPlayerHD. works very well. Also have VLC player (before it was yanked from the app store). Works about the same.
You can also get the app Air Video and stream the video to from your computer to the iPad, and even have Theo ad connected to the tv to watch on there. I do that all the time with my iPhone. Saves time with not having to sync movies all the time.

Some songs, which are bought in the iTunes store, will be played iTunes but not on my iPod touch. Has somebody an explanation for that? Thanks,

No, you should have Restrictions OFF.
Computer's iTunes > Preferences > Parental Preferences > everything should be unchecked.
Are the songs also on computer's iTunes?
