Pdf files flash open then close immediately

Whenever I try to open a pdf file using Adobe Reader, they just flash open and close and I get a plethora of error messages which I have to X out of.

Is this a DRM pdf file. If not, I suggest you use Adobe Reader or another reader such as Foxit.
If so, ADE should be able to open it, as long as the authorization is correct.
If the authorization is wrong, it should just give warning messages.
If you are trying a valid file, the only thing I can suggest is ...
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0. Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

Try closing all apps in Multitask Window
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe up on the screenshot of the app you want to exit.
3. The app will fly off the screen

Did latest iPhone update and now non of my third party apps work. They open then close immediately. I tried to restore but can't as my iphone wont sync with itunes now and I will loose my apps. Also my largest app "Sat Nav" has gone. Help ??

Hi All
I have run into problems with my iPhone 4. I hadn't done an update for a while so decided to get my itunes and iphone 4 up to date. I downloaded all the latest versions. However now non of my third party apps work and my largest one has vanished. I try and open them and they flash up and then close again. I thought the easiest thing to do was to restore so I tried to syn my apps onto itunes so I wouldn't loose them. However it won't let me sync the apps onto iTunes. It ill allow me to syn the old version when I just started but since then I have bought a dozen other apps. Can anyone help. thanks

Well this won't work for me...
I had all of my apps and music stored in iTunes, I updated to the newest 9.2 iTunes and did a 4.0 update to my iPhone 3G all the while not noticing that EVERYTHING IN iTUNES was GONE. When I got done updating my iPhone it was late so i went to bed... Next day came back to sync everything and thats when I saw it was all gone...

did what the link said and NOW I have all my 6K+ MUSIC back but not ONE APP. The App's are completely gone from when you nav. to the location the link says... There isn't a mobile sync folder there...
NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT... Very Frustrated and MAD. I don't want to redownload all my apps manually. TO many to do it that way.

Mail app flashes open but closes immediately

Every time I try to open my Mail app it flashes open but then closes right away.
When I go into Settings > Mail it says "ACCOUNTS ARE CURRENTLY SYNCING." -- but I don't show anywhere that it is syncing to my iPad.
Any suggestions??

First, reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
Restoring for the latest backup would be the next step after that:

If this does not work, delete the account and set it up again.

When I download a pdf file it opens then a dialog box opens and says buy adobe acrobat 8 pro.

I just want to be able to read a pdf file. I have downloaded Acrobat reader 9 hoping this would solve the problem. I purchased this laptop about a of year ago, and just started using it a couple of months ago. I tried to delete adobe acrobat 8 but it says if i delete it some programs will not work properly. All I want to do is read a pdf file, can anyone help. Thanks.

Thank you this worked but I had to uninstall acrobat 8 and anything that had to do with adobe or acrobat because I previously tried installing adobe 5, adobe 9 and other acrobat items. I was trying anything i could to read a pdf file.

There aren't any error message that apear before it closes it just closes as if it was closed manually. I've re-installed but that didn't fix the problem. I can't get that ctrl + atl +shift thing to work.

Hi Ruzka,
Please try the following:
1. Launch Adobe Creative Cloud
2. Go to Preferences and then signout
3. Relaunch Photoshop and resignin using same Adobe ID.

App opens then closes immediately, but only when in Applications folder

I have an app called Cyberduck, a freeware SSH client.
I put it in my Applications folder, and opened it, but it bounced a few times on the Dock, then closed. I tried again, keeps happening, every time.
What's weird is if I move it out of my Applications folder, into, say, my Downloads folder or the Applications folder on my Home directory, it opens and works just fine.
As soon as I move it back to Applications and try open it, same problem again!
Any ideas?

With Cyberduck not running, go into the "Library" -> "Preferences" folder (located under your home folder) and delete the .plist file for cyberduck (I think the name is ch.sudo.cyberduck.plist). You can either drag it to trash, or drag it to any location outside the ~/Libarary/Preferences folder -- such as the Desktop. Then start Cyberduck. Moving or deleting the .plist file will force it to create a fresh default plist for that application (as if it were a newly installed application.)

My Facebook application will not work. When you press it, it opens then closes.

So my Facebook app is not working. It was fine earlier today but then out if the blue it stopped working. When u press on the icon it will open then close immediately. How do I fix this? I tried to reset it and that did not help.

Try closing the FB app: double-click the home button, locate the FB app in the recently used list, press and hold the FB icon, tap the whit dash line in the red circle.
If that does not work delete the FB app and reload it.

Purchased movie opens then closes

I have a 16GB wifi-only iPad2 (iOS 6.1.3). I downloaded a purchased movie last night and watched about an hour of it. When I tried to start watching the rest this morning on the subway, the movie will open then close immediately. I've closed all the apps, restarted the iPad, and tested it again once I got to work and connected to the office wifi. No luck. What is going on? It seems similar to an issue I had with Pages, but that turned out to be the fact my docs were on iCloud and I wasn't online at the time.

If I have a problem with a purchased movie, I delete it and download it again. Most movies can be down,paced again for free if you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with.
You can read about it here and see how you can be sure that the movies qualifies for a free download.

Reader opens and closes immediately by itself when try to open PDF from windows live mail or browser

Hi,
I'm having problems with acrobat xi since installing it on my windows 7 computer.
Every time I try to open up a pdf file from windows live mail or a browser.. it opens and closes immediately. The only way I can view it is if I save the file onto the computer, open up acrobat reader first then open up the file in there.
How do I make it work properly again please?
I've tried several things so far like..
-Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
-Disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
Please help me. Thanks.

How can I tell which one it is exactly? I think it is Acrobat Reader.. 11.0.10...
I can only open up a PDF if I save it to my computer and then open up the Acrobat program then open up a file using file > open.
But if I try and view a pdf from an email attachment in Windows Live Mail.. or from a browser... it will open and close immediately.
How do I fix this please? thanks.

With 1.1.1 update on Sep 2, excel opens and then closes immediately. same with word and powerpoint

with the 1.1.1 update of MS Word, Excel and Powerpoint for the iPad on Sep 2, all of the three open when selected and then close immediately. Using iPad Air

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

When i try to open a pdf file it opens as a word document and then a window pops up saying file conv

When I try to open a pdf file it opens with microsoft word which I can't view. Then a window pops up with "file convertion - permissioning.pdf

Your file association is corrupted; reinstalling or repairing Adobe Reader will likely fix it.
If you want to fix it manually, tell us your operating system & version.

Windows 8.1 Apps open and close immediately

We have joined a laptop running Windows 8 to the domain however none of the apps work. They open and then close immediately.
The error in the event log is:The app microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe!Microsoft.WindowsLive.Calendar's package family (microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe) has more than one package installed. This is not supported, so the app
was not activated for the Windows.Launch contract.
The problem doesn't happen with a local user or before the laptop was on the domain.
We have tried following with no luck:
*Permission changes for ALL APLICATION PACKAGES
* Laptop and user in an OU with no group policies applying
*Same ISO re-downloaded
*Registry changes advised by Microsoft
* Local admin rights to domain user
Uninstalling and re-installing the apps manually fixed this issue but this isn't the correct way of fixing this as Windows 8 will be rolled out company wide.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Hi,
How are the APPs installed on the PC before joining into domain? With Microsoft account?
Besides, have you checked this blog?
What to do if your Windows 8 Modern App fails to start
Please follow the steps mentioned to see if any group policy settings(like AppLocker, logon scripts or proxy settings) or the image itself caused this.
