Pdf files are downloading and not opening

Firefox on Android was; when viewing a web page with a link for a PDF would simply prompt you to open with, I select Acrobat and it opens.
Now, the PDF ALWAYS downloads - not acceptable.
This was working as expected just 2 weeks or so ago; what's changed?
PS - I did try the PDF add-on which sort of works, but performance is so bad it is unusable.

Thanks Philipp.
I was using FF with a local web site canned on the SD card of my tablet, and it has a lot of PDF collateral for quick viewing when there is no Wi-Fi.
Firefox was the only Android Browser that worked with a local web site fully contained on the SD card or Local storage. Bummer.

.mov files are grey and not able to import

Help. I download files from my Contour helmet cam into my Imac but can't import them into Imovie because they're grey. Some earlier files are black and "loadable" ... what's up? Is there some importing ritual I screwed up?

I read similar posts about this problem and am having it myself with my Powerbook G4 550Mhz running OS X 10.4.5. I have 768 MB of RAM and a 60 gig HD so I know it's not memory that's the problem. Happened only when I recently upgraded iTunes. I tried the proposed fix about removing the CD Info.cidb file but it didn't work for me. Any other proposed solutions that someone has heard of? This is a real bummer as I've not had a single problem with this Powerbook in the 3+ years I've had it.

How to import pdf files as booklets - and not as books in 9.2

After having being very fond of the possibility to include booklets (or, in my case, sheet music) in pdf format into the main music library, I can't find the way to do it in version 9.2. It still imports the pdf, but puts it into the Books department. The old pdf files are still in the Music library.
Any help?
Thanks,
Walt

This change of behaviour is most annoying, and to my mind is further proof that the primary function of iTunes as a music player/organiser has been lost sight of in the welter of iPod/iPhone/iPad 'features'.
I find that I can still import PDF booklets into the main Music library, but they no longer merge with their related album as they used to when Album Title and Album Artist were set appropriately. What you need to do now if this is what you want to happen is Get Info on the PDF booklet after you import it, and change the Media Type to 'Music' in the Options tab (iTunes 9.2 sets this to 'Book' by default).
It's a nuisance to have to perform this additional step, but at least it brings back the previous behaviour.

In some web pages, pdf files are downloaded in very small kb and not opening despite I have Adobe reader, Pro and plug in

I have Firefox 3.6.6, downgraded from higher versions since I have this problem below.
At some web pages (mostly professional academic sites like Oxford Journals), when I am clicking to get pdf of an article, Firefox start downloading ridiculously small size and cannot open it as it gives the message "Acrobat could not open 'filename.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ..."
I know the file is not damaged, because I can open them in explorer. And some websites are also working properly in Firefox. I do not care if it opens in firefox or pops up separately.
I have reloaded Acrobat and Firefox but problem continues.

hello vijayabhaskarv, that sounds as if you're using the pdf viewer built into firefox per default, which might not work in all situations. please see the following article in order to select a different plugin to render pdf files: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]

Music I purchased on I Tunes is not available when I open ITunes in I Movie. I Movie says those files are "protected" and not accessible. What does that mean and can I change them to "unprotected" so I can use them in IMovie?

Most of the music that I purchased on I Tunes I bought and downloaded on my old I Mac which I replaced with this I Mac about 9 months ago. When I"m using I Movie on this I Mac and try to open I Tunes tab in I Movie, most of the files are not accessible because I Movie says those fields are protected. What does that mean and can I change those files to unprotected so they show up in my music in IMovie?
This I Mac is OS X version 10.9.5 Maverick, 2.7GHz Intel Core 15 processor, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 memory.

Your older iTunes music purchases included DRM software to prevent sharing.

For some money you can get it removed and get a better quality file to boot.

I have adobe reader and pdf files will preview but not open

Suddenly today I was trying to open pdf documents and they show up in the preview pane but will not open.

Have you read this article: [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]

I can't print PDF files using Firefox on my MAC I tried the suggested help PDF files are blank and can't be downloaded on MAC whic is my problem

I can't print "Living Social" vouchers, financial statements that are in a PDF format

There have been problems reported with the latest Adobe Reader update on Mac. 
See [[/questions/925119]]
You can disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox and use the Adobe Reader program or Preview instead.
*Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader
PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.

When downloading and opening a file through Firefox 5 on a Windows 7 machine, files are downloading and opening as read-only.

I am trying to download an attachment from gMail. When I select download, I can open or save as the document. If I select "open", it opens the file, but makes it read only.
If I do this exact action in IE8, it opens the document normally.

Unfortunately, I have not found a solution for this problem yet.
But I did find out, that Safari only crashes, when I choose a "custom" location to save the file at. When I simply click on Download to "Safari Downloads", it keeps working perfectly.
So it seems to be a problem with the choosing of a file location.
Does this give anyone an idea what else I could try?

PDF files on FTP will not open correctly

Our PDF files open fine from local hard disks, and http locations. However, We are having trouble opening PDF files from a FTP server. After double-clicking on the file, the Adobe 'grey' background loads, and nothing else. At first time it opened fine in all computers, but afterwards it will not open. If we download the files from the server, the same file opens fine. We have tried in different OS like XP, Windows 7, windows 8 with different browsers. same problems occurred.
In all cases, the installed adobe reader was Adobe Reader 9 and above(9, 10&11). After we got one solution that to disable "Protected mode" in reader settings. If we disable protected mode, it is fine.
But the issue is, we have to provide those PDf files to our customers through our website. So we cannot disable it in customer's pc. Any alternate solution for this problem?
Why this problem occurs? How we can overcome from this error?

I cannot reproduce this problem with Reader 11.0.2 in Firefox 20.0.1 or IE8 on Windows XP (Protected Mode enabled).
The document I am accessing is ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/win/5.x/enu/reader.pdf
I have no problems access it mutliple times.

I'm adding more information:
in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible. When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip. ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them.

Why do my video podcasts now save in a folder under the file name "download" and not the name of the podcast

I just downloaded Itunes 10. When I download video podcast they save in a individual folder with the podcasts name.tmp, then inside the folder is the video file just named DOWNLOAD. This didnt happen in the previous versions of itunes why is this happening in Itunes 10? How can I change so that the files save as the name of the podcast.

Some users seem to be having issues with the latest build (10.2.2) where files are not moved/renamed after downloading. It works fine for me in a test library so I'm not quite sure what the issue is. You may find things sor themselves out if you turn off Keep iTunes Media folder organised and then turn it back agaqin (assuming you use that feature). Hopefully the next update isn't too far away.
Alternatively you can try my script ConsolidateByMoving which should move selected files that are in the "wrong" place to their standard iTunes locations.

Every time i click on a link that is a pdf file, it downloads instead of opening. How do i uncheck this option?

I had to download a lot of pdf files and i checked the "do this everytime' box and now I can't seem to find the box to uncheck it.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I can view a completed PDF file, but I can not open it

I can view a completed PDF file in "view pane" however when I open the saved file, it is blank.

Try if updating to the latest version 10.1.3 still does the same.
If it does, please tell me your display adapter, device driver version & date; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765
