.pdf documents will not download from websites - results in a tab labeled 'Untitled'

While on a website, I click a link to access a .pdf document. The .pdf document is downloaded to the Downloads window. When I double click on the .pdf file in Downloads, a new tab opens up in Firefox, however, the tab is labeled (Untitled) and the page is blank. Because of this I have been unable to download any forms or similar type documents from the internet.
This happens every time I try to download a document from the Internet. It has been consistent.

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
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 launch Safari and test.
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.

I just upgraded to Photoshop cs6 so that my new camera (Nikon D7100) would work in Camera Raw. However, it will not download from the "Update" option in CS6.

I just upgraded to Photoshop cs6 so that my new camera (Nikon D7100) would work in Camera Raw (I was told that the Camera Raw update 8.3, which is available for CS6, included this camera). However, it will not download from the "Update" option in CS6. I have tried over 10 times - it just says update is not working. and I cannot find an alternate way of downloading this file. So I still can use my camera, even thought I paid to upgrade. HELP please.

What OS do you have? You say you have explained what you had (computer/opsys) but I honestly don't see it here. If you had mentioned that my advice would have been different; I believe you can only upgrade as far as Camera Raw 8.3 on an older Windows system. There is more information here (look specifically for the "Revert to 8.3 ..." titles).
Adobe Camera Raw Help | Camera Raw/DNG Converter 8.4 on Mac OS 10.6, Windows XP, and Vista
What you've done/written in your last post confuses things further, unfortunately. Photoshop 13.1 is strictly a Creative Cloud version. The highest you can go is Photoshop CS6 13.0.1.3 with perpetual license.
And as far as I can recall, that version can work on Windows back to XP:
System requirements | Photoshop
I don't think you're out of luck, but you seem to be leaping into doing things without having the full story, and are jumping to conclusions a bit too quickly.
Here's what I suggest you try:
1. Remove Photoshop entirely with the Creative Suite Removal Tool:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
2. Install Photoshop CS6 from your original media or from here:
Download CS6 products
3. Update the application using its own Help - Updates process. That really should get you the latest Camera Raw version that will work. If that does not bring you a Camera Raw that works with your Nikon, use the "Revert to 8.3" instructions above.

Double Clicking on a PDF document, will not open

When double clicking on a PDF document with the default document properties set to Acrobat Professional 8, the document will not launch Acrobat.
If Acrobat is already opened however it will launch.
I've tried:
re-setting file associations
deleting preferences
Uninstalling and reloading Acrobat: (solves the issue for a time but after a period of use it reverts to this broken state).
OS X 10.5.5 is fully updated, as is Acrobat 8.

Another Utility that will do the same without aid of DVD.
is a Utility called
AppleJack version 1.5 works with OSX.5.x and version 1.4.3 work with all previous systems.
download install the go into Single User mode (restart Command-S) wait for screen to come up will be in B&W as soon as it starts up release until you see a Blinking Block Cursor. type applejack as instructed on screen. follow the commands as shown in Order.
I amazing what problems it can clear up. Font Caches are removed and others. If you follow all the way to the end. Its amazing how much your machine will speed up up not having to wade through obsolete Cruft. Note if you do everything to the end. will take you computer a few minutes to rebuild caches, and other items.

PDF documents will not open in Adobe Acrobat 5

I have one computer with XP running Acrobat 5. I now have a second computer running Windows 7 with Acrobat 9 Pro. When I take PDF documents from the computer with Acrobat 9 Pro to the one with Acrobat 5, the PDF docs will not open - an error message states the file is corrupted. Why is this hapening and how can it be fixed?
Thanks for any assistance - confused.

#1 - The files were moved using a thumb/USB drive and "Safely Remove" was used.
#2 - You may be on to something here for some: Some were created by AA9 but some others were scanned in and some were from AA8 that I had no trouble before.
#3 - The only "special feature" is that the PDF files are searchable and some are a PDF of an image.
These are basic PDF files.
Thanks for your assistance

Having upgarded to Firefox 5 my desktop will not download from the Internet, it's working on my lap top with the same version and Norton 360

I am trying to download a System scan from http://www.crucial.com/uk/systemscanner/ but its only downloading the shortcut logo, not the scan. It works on my Laptop with the same Firefox upgrades and Norton 360. This has only happened since I upgraded to V5.0

Hi Mac Attack,
My computer will not disconnect from the internet. It seems to find a clone router and continues even when I shut down and unplug my my own home iy
Your main question was 'chopped' in the title. Please reply in the body of a reply box with the full question and anything you have tried. And no, the long report was not helpful .
If the same website is opening each time you launch a browser (Safari?) hold down the shift key as you launch to prevent previous pages from opening.
Have a look at your settings in Safari > Preferences. Especially General and Privacy.
Reset Safari to remove cookies and other stored data.

Podcast episodes will not download from podcast stream

I have set up a podcast on my website to download sermons. I created the xml file which I tested in my feeds section of my browser. The xml file works perfectly there in that all the episodes are listed with thier respective audio files. If you click on the actual audio file it downloads the way that it should and plays. I copied the xml file location and went into Itunes and chose subdcribe to a pod cast. It asked for the url which I pasted the xml file location. Itunes displayed all of my episodes the way that it should. The problem then starts. When I click on an episode to download the audio file the episode name flashes for a second or 2 in the window on top and then nothing. The audio file will not download on any of the episodes. It lists them all but other then that I can't do anything with them. My xml file location is: http://www.stpaulsconway.org/stpaulssermons.xml What could I possibly be doing wrong?

Glad to hear that you have solved your problem.
May I suggest that if you have any further questions regarding Podcasts that you are producing, that you post the question in the Producing Podcasts community, where people with more specific knowledge will be sure to help you.
Producing Podcasts is listed under Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Producing Podcasts:

Mail will not download from Earthlink POP account

Have two accounts set up in Mail: one is IMAP me.com account; the other is POP Earthlink account. Suddenly, today, Mail on my MBPro will not download messages from the Earthlink POP account. It asked for my password (oddly, because it is in keychain) & then would no longer download mail. Messages download to my iPhone just fine from both accounts. Have checked connection doctor (all ok), deleted messages after last download using webmail in case of malformed email, & fixed file permissions. No luck so far. Suggestions, please?

UPDATE: I deleted the me.com account and added it back in & Mail seems to be working fine again. For some reason, I have a lot of duplicate messages in the Earthlink In box now, though. Still curious as to what caused this to begin with. Is it something about the me.com account? It seemed like Mail quit downloading messages after it checked the me.com account.

PDF Document will not print on wireless network

Recently purchased Fujitsu laptop with Vista Home Premium O/S, 2.4 Gig chip, 2 Gig Ram. Printer is Canon Image Class 880 multi-function printer. I am able to print Microsoft Word documents via the wireless network and can also print documents off of the web on the wireless network, except for downloaded PDF files.
When I try to print a PDF file, the print box will come up and show the correct printer. When I click OK in the print box, a "Progress" dialog box comes up and indicates "preparing" as a percentage of the total document the computer is trying to send to the printer. Then, the box turns grey, and a message comes up saying Adobe Reader had a problem and has shut down. Also, Windows Document Execution Prevention then comes up saying a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
I'm not sure which version of Adobe reader came with the computer, but it was upgraded to 8.1.2 on 2/12/08.
Any helpful ideas will be appreciated.
Regards,
Dan Roberts

PDF FILES WILL NOT OPEN FROM DESKTOP

ADOBE READER WILL NOT OPEN A PDF FILE FROM THE DESKTOP ON MY MAC PRO.
It works when opened in Safari but I get the following messages when trying to open from the desktop.
This started with the MT LION upgrade. I did down;oad the latest Adobe Reader. See next image. THX, Wally

HEY - THE VALIUM WORKED!
I found this on an old Nov 2012 discussion AND IT WORKS.......
Do not do a "save as" like I was doing - SAVE FROM THE ACTUAL PDF DOCUMENT.....

Re: can't save PDF documents with safari
Nov 19, 2012 11:50 AM (in response to Magnus.LPA)
Deleting the files "AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin" and "AdobePDFViewer.plugin" worked BUT then Safari couldn't display pdf files embedded on web pages.
I found putting "AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin" back fixed the display problem.
What I didn't know was that now when viewing a pdf, there is the pdf menu that becomes visible when mousing to the bottom of a page on the displayed pdf. Using it instead of the old Safari method for saving pdf's on web pages solved my problem.
Thanks to C D R (above) for the tip!
I'm on Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
YAHOOOOOOOO - THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR INPUT.....

Secure PDF Document will not open

I am trying to open a billing statement from my university. It opens in Adobe Reader as a PDF; however, instead of showing my bill, there is a message that reads: "If this message is not eventually replaced by your statement, then your PDF reader may not be able to display this document." This is followed by links to this website to update the reader. However, I already have the latest Adobe Reader XI (11.0.03), but the correct document never loads. What is going on here??

You are trying to open it in FireFox or Chrome, is my guess. They don't use Adobe Reader.
Save the file to your desktop, open it from there.

Will not download from upstream server

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help please. We have downstream server which is set to synch with an upstream server managed by a 3rd party organisation. We can connect and see new updates needed to be downloaded via our WSUS GUI, we can approve these updates
and then the download indicator just stays a 0%. When we dig around, and look at the BITS jobs they are all trying to download from the Microsoft update site (on the web), not the configured upstream server. All the settings have been checked our end and all
seem good. We have even bitten the bullet and removed the whole of our local WSUS (including DB), and re-installed and pointed back to the upstream WSUS server, but get the same response i.e. BITS tries to go off to the Microsoft Download site. Anyone had
this before please? Any help would be good. Before anyone asks, we are in a location where we do not have Internet access for a number of reasons, but the upstream server does. Thanks very much.
Phil

We have downstream server which is set to synch with an upstream server managed by a 3rd party organisation.
This is always problematic from a technology standpoint. It's also arguably a violation of the WSUS EULA, unless that "3rd party organization" has a Service Provider Licensing Agreement allowing them to provide WSUS services to other licensees.
We can connect and see new updates needed to be downloaded via our WSUS GUI, we can approve these updates and then the download indicator just stays a 0%. When we dig around, and look at the BITS jobs they are all trying to download from the Microsoft
update site (on the web), not the configured upstream server.
As Daniel JiSun notes, you hold the configuration option for this behavior. Reconfigure your WSUS server to download from the USS, not Microsoft. But you've said this is configured correctly, which leaves us with one other possibility: If the USS does not
maintain a local content store, then there's no way you can get files from the USS if it doesn't have them, and your server will be forced to download them from Microsoft. Have you checked with your provider to ensure they're providing the files?
Before anyone asks, we are in a location where we do not have Internet access for a number of reasons, but the upstream server does.

Adobe/Acrobat PDF documents will not open, tried community suggestions, version 9.4.4.235

Assorted websites may refer to links for documents to open, but I receive an error message stating that the Adobe/Acrobat loaded will not open them, I have tried all of the community suggestions to no avail

Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable the following. 
#Fun Web Products 
#My Web Search Plugin 
#Smiley Central 
For the above three, see: http://www.pchell.com/support/mywebsearch.shtml
In addition, disable the Yahoo ActiveX plugin.
ActiveX is a Microsoft technology which is frequently targeted by criminals. Although the technology is reasonably safe when running inside Internet Explorer, it potentially exposes your system to attack when installed in Firefox.
You do not need it to access Yahoo in any event.
If the problem persists in spite of the above steps, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
'''N.B.''' You do not need to run "Hijack This" as described in the link since Firefox provides the option to disable plugins as mentioned above.

Pdf documents will not print properly

my imac running 10.5.8 will not print some pdf documents properly. In particular sheet music will only print as horizontal and vertical lines - the symbols and notes do not print. The 'print preview' shows all the symbols and notation correctly.
This occurs in both Adobe Acrobat (v10.1.3) and Preview (v 4.2 - 469.5).
Printer in use is a HP 2600n connected via USB cable.

Seems it's not sending the Font to the Printer, or the Font has a conflict & the Printer thinks it's another Font.
Open Font Book & Validate all Fonts & check for duplicates.

Safari and Firefox will not download from a particular site

Greetings,
I own a Dual 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4 (FW800) with 2 MB L3 cache per processor and 1 GB DDR SDRAM with the Mac OS X Version 10.4.11
My Safari version is 4.1.2 (4533.18.5)
My Firefox version is 3.6.10
I want to access this site for the information that it contains:
http://www.gis.mt.gov/
Safari has never worked with this site.
Firefox has worked very well for the past 2 years.
Recently, very recently, both browsers do NOT work with this site. I called the state's technical support and was informed:
1) That it is a hit or miss possibility for Safari and Firefox to work properly with this site; and,
2) That the site is optimized to operate with Internet Explorer for Windows.
I am unable to find and to download a recent version of Internet Explorer for Mac. Microsoft ended support for this browser (version 5.2.3) on 12/31/2006. I did download this version and it did not work.
Open this site: http://www.gis.mt.gov/
Click on “Property Map” located in upper left area of the screen.
On new drop-down, click on the “OK” button
A new window should appear with a map of Montana, with outlines of its 56 counties. If this map does NOT appear; then, the problem is being shown.
If this map of counties does appear; then, GREAT.
On this new window and in lower right hand corner choose a city and click on the “Go” button. A new window with the city shown should appear. If this city does not appear; then, there is the problem.
In the past I have used the “Property Map” most of the time because it contains information most useful to me. I want to continue using this “Property Map” into the future. The problem is that my results with both Safari and Firefox is a blank window after completing the above steps.
Help ! ! What can I do different/change/modify?

2) That the site is optimized to operate with Internet Explorer for Windows.
There is your answer. Many US Government sites are the same - they simply WILL NOT follow the necessary web standards to make them Apple and/or Safari compliant.
The only thing you can try is to go to Safari's Develop Menu and try using Internet Explorer as the User Agent.

Will not download from download file.

After downloading to download file the file will not open or open folder.

Please explain the situation! What steps where performed? Did you encounter any error messages? How about trying a clean reinstall?
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
#Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
'''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
* '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
* '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
#Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
#In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
#Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
#* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
#* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
#Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
#Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
#Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
