PDF Link on website no longer working

I have a link on my website that opens a PDF file. On a few computers the link will not open or it will open and then freeze. Or my favorite "the file is damaged and can not be repaired." Where do I start looking for a solution? I am using CS4 and IE 8 and I can open the file in adobe reader.
Can anyone help?
Thank you!

I am worried about IE version is not accounted for in my code.
You should always right-click on the link and then save the file (Save Target As) on your desktop so that you can then open it any time at your leisure. The link works fine at my end. See this picture to get the idea (4th item in the list):

I've recently noticed that since the last upgrade any links to pdf files on websited no longer work. All I get is a blank white page or a blank black page when I click on these links. Can I fix this?

Links in email no longer working under Yosemite

I have several email signatures which contain icons that link to websites, etc. However, since upgrading to Yosemite these links no longer function. I can use command-k to add/edit/remove the link, but they do not work. Can anyone make any suggestions?

If the iPad will not accept any input at all - try a reset. If this only occurs in the Xfinity email - something else is going on.
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.

Hyperlinks in PDFs made from Word no longer work

PDFs made from Word documents containing hyperlinks used to be no problem. I can still make PDFs from Word (using the 'Save as PDF' in the print driver), and the links show up as underlined blue text, but they no longer work.
It's been several months since I last made a Word doc with links and successfully converted it to PDF in this manner, but I can't imagine what might have changed.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Try to redo the default browser (i.e make IE the default and then let Firefox do it again).

After safari 7.1.3 upgrade some features and links in websites won't work

I upgraded to safari 7.1.3 for mavericks. I have a macbook pro 13". Everything worked fine before, but after the upgrade some features and links in different websites just wont work. what can I do? Also different pop ups like mackeeper keep coming up, and that didn't happen before.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Interactive PDF: Rollover button state no longer working properly ???

Okay, what's going on with the Interactive PDFs lately?
Now all my rollover buttons no longer work properly. If I have a button that's simply a black arrow, and in the rollover state it's red.
No matter if I'm checking it out in the latest Acrobat Reader or Pro X, the rollover only works for a brief second..then reverts back to black - the original state.
This, combined with my latest problem with the show/hide button state, is really becoming a frustrating hassle:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3933451#3933451
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm running 7.5.1.
Is this an Acrobat issue? The button function here seems to work in the InDesign preview mode.

Hhmmm...I'm actually having this problem even with Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional. Does this make sense?
Again, I'm creating the document in InDesign CS5 and then building the PDF with Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional, and the rollover effects don't work in Adobe Acrobat 9, Adobe Reader 9, and Adobe Reader 10.
I'm a bit new to this process of software not providing its basic touted functionality. Is this the kind of thing where support for this functionality will vary from product to product? I had the same issue with PDF Portfolio -- where all its functioanlity was not supported in Adobe Reader X. If so, perhaps I should simply stick with the classic features of PDFs. Or can I trust, reliability, that going forward, this rollover effect will be supported in all Adobe Reader versions? This is quite an important issue for me as I provide all the documentation for my employer, including customer facing documentation -- and I simply don't know. Any recommendations?

Missing PDF link that is no longer in the document?

Hello -
I have this document that previously had a multi-page PDF linked file. After several iterations the PDF images were removed from the document. Recently our IT had decided to rename our servers so all the links in the document had to be relinked and that is when i noticed that Indesign still thinks this PDF is in the document even tho it doesn't designate a page number within the Link tab nor does it jump to the link upon "Go to Link". I have even tried to relink to the new location and it does nothing... i'm scratching my head. At the moment it has no adverse effects or corruption to document or otherwise, but i'd hate for something horrible to manifest itself later. Any ideas?
One thing to note, is the PDF file name has "-" in the name. Not sure if this matters but i've seen some chatter here that refer to anomolies with alternative text in the file names.
I'm working in CC and on a Windows 7.

Thanks for the tip, Bob. This worked! I will need to check and see if all the graphical features came through - there are not very many.
Cheers!

The visitor counter on my website no longer works on Firefox but still works in ME. How do I fix it?

I have a free visitor counter (by easycounter.com) on my website. It has been working fine in both Firefox (3.6.16) and MS Internet Explorer.
Yesterday, I noticed it no longer works with Firefox but still fine with MS IE.
Earlier in the week I did download a few add-ons recommended by Firefox.
Can anyone advise what the problem might be and how to fix it? The code for the counter is still intact on my page at www.qsl.net/ve3bdb.
Thanks in advance.
Incidentally, the page now takes forever to load when using MS IE, but I don't know if that's related.

No problems here with that visited counter on your website.
Which extensions did you install?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Can't read pdf links on websites

Hello, can anyone tell me what is the problem?
After downloading the latest OS version (OS X 10.7.4), immediately after, I was not able to read pdf links from company websites.
Does anyone know what happened and how to fix this?

Hmmm... Safari should be OK with PDF unless you've maybe installed the Adobe plug-in separately.
Go to Help > Installed Plug-Ins to see what's there.
The link below details the problem that Firefox has with this plug-in. Safari uses the same one so it may cause the same issue.
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pdf-files-are-blank-and-cant-be-downloaded-m ac?s=PDF&r=1&e=es&as=s
Sorry I can't be more help just now. I really need to check this out when I get home on my own Mac. I use Firefox mainly so i'm unsure how to fix the issue in Safari. I'll check in later today if I find anything.

Easy Link 1.6 no longer works and latest version states will not work with my router

I have the WRT54G router (version 8.00.2 firmware) and the Easy Link Software I got with it no longer works correctly (version 1.6), saying I am not connected to the internet even though I clearly am connected. (I theorize that it tries to connect by pinging Linksys and I cannot ping Linksys using any method, so I think Linksys no longer accepts pings.) I downloaded the newest version, thinking it would work, and the forum states it will only work with a few routers that are more recent (I bought mine in Jan 2008.) Am I out of luck, with no verion working correctly? I appreciated the information that was found in the Easy Link Advisor software that I no longer have.

You are a legend!! I have spent countless hours uninstalling, reinstalling itunes, playing with firewall settings, reading articles on this problem!! I only have to un-sync my iphone 5 and then the airplay icon magically appeared!!! Maybe I have too many devices syncing via wi-fi, or maybe it is the Iphone syncing??
Whatever - one step and now I can enjoy my music through my house again!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Sachin,
Thanks for getting backt to me. Upon further investigation, I realized that the tablet version of the site was being pulled up instead of the desktop, but only on certain systems and browsers.
In the instance above it happened when it was opened in Window 8 and 8.1 using Chrome 32 and Chrome 33 (dev). I reproduced the problem using the testing simulators in BrowserStack.
The tablet version also loads up when using a new MacBook Pro 15inch Retina, OS X 10.9.1 and Chrome 32.0.1700.77 (listed as the latest). Again, I reproduced the problem using the testing simulators in BrowserStack.
I cleared cache, cookies, and history and tried it again, and found the same problem.
Furthermore, using that same MacBook, when it is plugged into a Thunderbolt display, it pulls up the correct version (the desktop version) when using Chrome.
Seems to works fine in Safari, IE, and Firefox.
The website is www.cookbrite.com. But currently we are redirecting traffic to the test version of the site on Business Catalyst as it works fine there. So entering cookbrite.com takes you to cookbrite05.businesscatalyst.com.
Zak Williamson (Adobe Staff member) sent this link in response to another post I placed yesterday once I realized what was really going on. This clued us into the temp fix we now have of redirecting traffic to the BC site.
See <http://forums.adobe.com/message/6019998>
However, I haven't heard a permanent solution yet. Is Adobe really suggesting, as implied by the response from Zak, that in order to fix this that any site developed via Muse should be hosted on BC to insure it will work? Or is there a way to fix or change how different devices are detected so sites not on BC will work properly with the latest Chrome products?
Thank you. I hope all this detail helps.

10.4.6 - PHP Websites No Longer Working

After upgrading my G4 Mini from 10.4.5, I can no longer hit any PHP web pages. Any browser I use gives a warning that the PHP page is an application and wants to download the file rather than script it.
I used software update and the machine did not restart twice, but I've rebooted it several times since, and also run permissions repair.
Help, anyone?
G4 Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Ivan,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You might want to see if the problem is with the webpage design of the page in question. Do you get the same results when visiting
http://www.macmaps.com/astronomy.php
If you do, it sounds like corruption in your web browser preferences. What browsers have you tried?

Links on websites no longer clickable

since this afternoon (New Zealand time) I can no longer click some links; they work fine in Chrome, but not Firefox. Examples include my bank , ravelry.com (the forum/groups/patterns links), also the http://www.special-education.school.nz/ website where I can't get into any of the links across the top

Looks like Ad-block Plus was my problem, at least one of the websites is ok now; the other is refusing to load at all, but that one has issues from time to time anyway. Facebook is now working too, thank-you for your help; I really appreciate it!

Some videos and other websites no longer work in Firefox but still OK in internet explorer

no longer comes up properly, none of the puzzle links appear on screen. that website is fine in Internet Explorer.
A week ago, both worked fine.

Auto logins on websites no longer working

I recently (a couple days ago) got a pop-up on the lower part of my screen that said that firefox was going kind of slowly or something along those lines and said if I would like to fix this that I could click this button. Well I did that and it took me to a page that talked about resetting firefox to its default settings but that all info pretty much would be kept correct like my passwords, bookmarks, addons, and other things like that. Well I said what the heck and tried it and when it was finally done doing what ever it was doing I get back online with none of my opening tabs aloud to be there so that was wiped out, my book marks were there so that was good, but all of my addons like X-notifier and things like that were now gone, and when I go to pages now it has no idea who I am. My user names don't show up or the passwords. I can login to them and it might be fine for 5-10 minutes but then all of a sudden it tells me that I need to login all over again. Even my X-notifier does it and its supposed to know my login permanently so I never have to type it in. But I can be in the middle of sorting my emails and trying to delete something get a message that says I am no longer signed in to my email account.
I have searched all over in the tools>options area and made sure everything is the same as it used to be with saving passwords and even scrolled through my stuff saved to see if something had gotten deleted but they are all there and I see no reason why it would not log me in to the ANY site. I know some of the sites out there don't like to allow auto login stuff which I am fine with but some of these websites I am the owner of and I know for a fact that its not my site doing it. The repeated login issue is really getting on my nerves cause its started to disturb my daily working. Please help me with figuring this out.
Thanks
Troy

I am going to try the stuff mentioned by you above and see if it helps. I know its affecting this site as well and isn't keeping logged in at all as I have had to re-type my password each time I come here.
