PDF files stop loading and won't open until I click scroll bar?

I’ve tried this on 5 different computers running XP and Windows 7 and it does the same thing every time. I click on Page 3-7 or 15-17 and it starts to load and then stops. As you can see on the first screen below it stopped loading at 37kb of a 615kb file. On the second picture below, I clicked the mouse on the vertical scroll bar and the page appeared.
Any ideas to the mystery?

When you uninstall firefox, do you go to the control panel and in C:/ProgramFiles/(delete mozilla firefox)? Or only one of the two options?Try.

Why has my Preview stopped responding and won't open any files?

Why has my Preview stopped responding and won't open any files?
Each time I try to open Preview it just hangs and I have to close the Prog by "Force Quit"

nerbyad,
Sorry to hear you are having this issue today.
Does this happen on all files or a specific file?
If this is happening on a specific file, it is most likely that file.
If this is happening on all files, I would check to see if this is happening in other users accounts as well. If you dont have other users, create one and see if preview works inside that new user account.
Let me know...

PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader

I consider Preview to be a swiss army knife when it comes to working with PDF and graphic files. Lately (since the last OS update?) PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader. Reader either crashes or just becomes unresponsive. I've been able to open the files in older versions of Adobe Professional but Reader 8 or 9 can't open the files. Anyone else experiencing these problems?

Yes. We noticed this problem after upgrading to 10.6.7. When we made a PDF from Word 2011 or even Text Edit through Adobe's "Save as Adobe PDF" it would hang. When we made a PDF using Apple's "Save as PDF" it would lock up Acrobat Pro 9 and also Acrobat Pro X. NOTE that this only happened using Adobe OTF fonts.
I posted this problem on Adobe's forum and received a message from admin there that this was caused by a change in font handling with Apple's 10.6.7 update.
As of yet, no solution has been posted. I also received a message from Adobe's Tech Support that it was forwarded to their engineers.
Still waiting.

My Game Center won't stop loading and won't let me sign in. What do I do?

My Game Center won't stop loading and won't let me sign in. What do I do?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

After data file recovery, files are red and won't open

My HD crashed so I used Data Rescue 3 to recover my files. It worked but now all the files are highlighted red and won't open. The file sizes look right but for instance when I try to open a mov file it says, this is not a movie file. My FCP projects won't open either. Does anybody know what the problem is and what I need to do to get the files usable again?

Data recovery can be hit and miss. Data Rescue is unlikely to be able to recover every single byte from every single file. If so much as a single byte is out of place, QuickTime will be unable to read the file.
I would suggest you give QT Repair a try and if that doesn't work, try File Salvage:

My recovered files are red and won't open

My Toshiba external hard drive broke and a friend used a program on his mac to recover the files. He says it worked but now all the files are highlighted red and won't open. The file sizes look right, but for instance when I try to open a .mov file it says, this is not a movie file. Does anybody know what the problem is and what I need to do to get the files usable again?

Thanks, Courcoul. I did Get Info and changed all the permissions to Read & Write for Me, Fetching, and Everyone. Still doesn't work. But, if I click on the picture of the Lock to Unlock it, I can't do that, because it's a work computer and they don't give me admin privileges. So maybe that's the problem? Though I don't see why. I use to be able to open all the files on my computer.

PDF files on the Internet won't open...thanks to new Adobe update?

I'm running OS 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro. I installed Adobe Reader 10.1.3 and now can't open any pdf files on the Internet. Before I spend $39 calling an Adobe tech, I wonder if anyone can help?

Yachna: Thank you for your post of April, 18, 2012. You wrote:

In my case, the problem occured only when I used Firefox. I followed your advice in that regard and retried opening several pdf's that previously would not display. All did display in 32-bit mode for FireFox. Your statement that "We don't support Firefox in 64-bit mode." and your self-description as "Emploee" lead me to think that you are an Adobe employee. I'm new to all this, so sorry if my inference about who you are is wrong. But if it is correct, then your advice would seem to be from-the-source-credible. I hope that in the future, Adobe will support Firefox in 64-bit mode.
One question though: If, as you state, Adobe does not support Safari 5.1 in 64-bit mode, why haven't I had the same problem displaying pdf's with version 5.1.5 Safari? Only guess I can make at that is that as of Safari 5.1.5 (vs. Safari 5.1), Adobe does support Safari in 64-bit mode. Anyway, thank you! And I hope that in my newness to all this, I haven't confused things too badly.

How can I import a pdf file into numbers so it will open with a click

How can I import a pdf file into a spreadsheet so that it will open with a click?

You can link to a webpage or an email in Numbers-- that's it.
The best way I found to do this is to enable websharing on your machine (see this article if you are running 10.8: http://lowendmac.com/crews/12lc/web-sharing-mountain-lion.html)
You can then place your pdf files in the folder /Users/<your user name>/Sites/<somefolder>
Then link to this using the url "<your machine name>.local/~<your user name>/<somefolder>/<pdf Name>
My machines name is "Proton" (you can get this from the System Preferences > Sharing pane)
My user name is "wayne"
so I stored a pdf file (DM00027543.pdf) in the folder "/User/wayne/Sites/PDFTest"
and stored the URL "http://proton.local/~wayne/PDFTest/DM00027543.pdf" in the "URL" field of the Hyperlink inspector

Had to reset but now files are lost and won't open

I was prompted this morning with wanting/needing to reset Firefox - something I never have never seen before. It was going thru my "old data" and froze. I needed to restart my iMac and in doing so now I can't open Firefox because it says: "Firefox cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." I have the folder of my "Old Firefox Data" on my desktop. Have I lost everything? How do I get this back?

Hello kuteelagirl
go to ~/Library folder (it is a hidden folder for your 10.8 mac, it is hidden for 10.7 and later mac) from :
Go > Go To Folder (Shift-Command-G) and in the dialog type: ~/Library
'''''or'''''
Open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to make the Library appear
then find [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profiles.ini_file profiles.ini file] and rename it to profiles.iniOLD , then when you start firefox again, a new default profile folder will be created and only a single profile, the new "default", will be listed in the Profile Manager.
This new "default" profile doesn't contain any of the profile data or settings stored in your old "default" profile folder, which still exists but is no longer accessible from the Profile Manager.
Your existing Firefox user profile data, which includes bookmarks, passwords, cookies, preference settings and added extensions, will no longer appear in the new profile but you can [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox transfer the data from the old profile folder to the new default profile folder].

I did an update to iOS 4.2 and now several of my applications won't open. My iBook shelf is empty and won't open. I click on it and it just flashes and closes. What is the problem?

I did an update to iOS 4.2 and now several of my apps won't work. Help!

The very first thing you should try is a simple reset. Hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
If you haven't restarted your iPad in a while this can really help.
If this doesn't help, then you can try removing the problem apps and reinstalling them.
Retired Engineer makes a good point. It would be a good idea to update your software.

I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button to navigate back to my starting point the bookmarks are replaced by "page thumbnails". Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

Hi Pusman,
While setting up the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you won't face this issue, then you can simply switch to the previous file and bookmark view will remain as it is.
Does that helps with your query?

Rahul

My Iphoto application stays on the opening loading sign stage and won't open up at all

Hi there - first time user, so please be patient ...
Does anyone know why my Iphoto won't open? I can't figure out why it just stays on the opening loading sign stage and won't open up any more - was working previously but seems to freeze in that opening symbol stage now whenever I try to directly open it or use it through the application field to open any jpeg format.
Cheers
Henrie

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
Regards
TD

Since the recent upgrade from Adobe pdf plug-inn Firefox often won't open pdf-files. Uninstalling doesn't help. I don't have this problem with Internet Explorer.

Hi efacg,
Most printing issues are solved by resetting the Printing preferences. When you print from Firefox and you click on the down arrow, do you see Defualt and Firefox? Please make changes to the preferences here and preview the document.
If this continues to be an issue please also see [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
If there are any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask, we are here to help.
