PDF page links won't open

Recently I've been unable to open a page within Safari which is a PDF link. The page is just blank. It's the same in Firefox. I'm not talking about downloading PDFs and opening in Preview. Any help much appreciated. Tim

Hi Tim
this is sometimes due a plugin from Adobe not working properly - do you have a file like 'Adobe pdf plugin' in either of these folders?
HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
or
Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
If so, quit any web browsers & move it to the desktop, then see if pdf's start working in Safari.
Failing that, test briefly in a a New User Account to see if the problem is system-wide or restricted to that one user.

I have downloaded the latest pages update on my iPad, but my iMac still has Pages version 4.3, and I cannot find out how to update it on my desktop. When I try to send something from my iPad pages via email to be opened on my desktop in Pages, it won't open in Pages. I get a message that it can't be opened because the version is too old. I sent the document as a PDF and it worked. But I want to be able to use Pages back and forth. HOw do I update the Pages version on my desktop iMac?

The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.

Pages file won't open

One of my pages files won't open. It has been fine, but all of a sudden a message comes up saying the file cannot be opened. There is no information as to whether it has been corrupted or not. When I try to open it in the mac-Microsoft office program it says the file is too large.
Either it is just too large at 669MB and I need to reduce the size? or perhaps it is corrupted. I can open a preview version from its folder, by going to file and 'Quick Look "file name." But I can't copy any of it from there to paste into a new file...
Could someone tell me how to reduce the file size? Or increase the memory of the Pages application? Or some other way of opening it.
And no, I haven't backed it up like a fool.
Thanks guys

Yvan,
Thanks for the tip on Activity Monitor, I did not know about that! I have a similar problem, and I hope you can help me. I have a MacBook with 2GB mem and early Intel Chip (see SN provided).
I am writing a book with MANY pictures. They are all .JPGs and are fairly big. I have to keep the book in a single file if I want the Table of Contents (TOC) to work (I think... TOC is quirky). The file is 165.4 MB on disk and loads in Activity Monitor as 173.5 MB. With Preview Open and Safari Open, the system memory report says Free 161MB, Wired 296 MB, Active 1.06GB, Inactive 497.4 MB, Used 1.84 GB, Swap used, 41.8 MB. Pages loads the book slowly and functions okay with major hesitations from time to time; but it does take a VERY long time to save and will freeze with a wheel of death from time to time.
The obvious answer is to divide the book; but that would defeat the TOC advantage I'm enjoying.
Advice?

Some u-tube links won't open

SOME u-tube links won't open in a mail message. I get a message saying 'an error occurred, try again later'.
They never open 'later'. Is there a work-around, or do I need a plug-in or something.
Thanks

The forum software says you are using Firefox 19, can you update to Firefox 22 and see if this is fixed, is not can you try the super-beta verion of firefox, espically if youve upgraded to 4.3 it may be causing some problems.

Link won't open in goddaddy website builder tool

Links won't open when I try to preview using Go daddy website builder tool. I contacted Go Daddy and they said the tool works as designed on their side and suggested that it may be a browser issue. My question is that is there anything I can do to check my browser settings (i.e. security , etc.) that may correct this issue? I also need to check which version of Firefox is installed, I believe my latest version is 6.0 , not sure?

Please post the link so we can look it over.

Some YouTube links won't open

Sometimes a YouTube link won't open in a message in Apple Mail. The YouTube window opens when the link is clicked, but after trying to start the movie, says: "an error occurred, please try again later". I checked the finder-window-activity pane as ordered, and there were 6 of about 20 items that said "forbidden" in red letters. It gave no instructions on how to fix them, however.
These same links open on our MacBook laptop and iPad with no problem! What gives?
I tried to post this earlier, and got no response after a week. I reformulated the question with more information.
Thanks

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

Anyone know why pdf links won't open? also- malware has hijacked the downloadable file available when clicking on Adobe's file:

Changed OS to Mavericks & pdf links from websites won't open. I also had private browsing on in safari.
I have acrobat 10.1.10. I tried to update it when prompted by auto-updates and it said it can't because the product has been changed since installed. that can only be the switch to mavericks osx. But it might have prompted me to get version 11 though I only have version 10 & I did the version 10 update in mid-Sept.
Then, I tried going to adobe.com, searched "upda" and got a list of the cs items with icons, plus two text only links, one was acrobat for mac and the last one, "Update manager update (Mac OS)". It said it is to "resolve a common issue with Adobe Update manager on Mac OS". I cliucked that and got some bogus file. When I hit the button on adobe's site, it shows that the file name should be Adobeupdatemanager403.dmg or something very similar to that. Instead in the download list /box I got " installjdownloader.dmg" I clicked it once & saw terms of service in which they will switch you to use only their search engine, serve ads, etc. So luckily I didn't install it.
Does adobe need to investigate this malware problem? Others might search the way I did.
Anyway, this all started because after installing mavericks, i can't open any pdfs from the web.
Can anyone help me? Thank you very much in advance.

URL Links won't open pages in browser

Hi, I'm in a Connect session right now, and every time I try to open a link (via a shared powerpoint, or using "Browse To" in a Web Links object, or clicking a url in a chat window) instead of opening a browser page the system tries to download the HTML file and open it for editing. I'm sure this has something to do with a Flash or Connect setting, but I can't find where to look. And I can't use the in-Connect Help, because it won't open! If anyone can help me figure out what's wrong and how I can fix it I'd really appreciate it.

Hi,
First of all click Safari/Reset Safari, next click Safari/Preferences/Extensions and turn off extensions. The re-test
If the problem persists, try using safari in safe mode:

TOC Links won't open New Window, Whole Page

RoboHelp HTML 11, Internet Explorer 11. Multiscreen HTML5 layout.
I'm trying to experiment with the different ways of opening links: New Window, Whole Page, Same Frame, etc.
Yesterday the different variations worked the way they should, but today every link in the TOC opens as if set to "Default (none)".
As for Links on topic pages, "New Window" opens a new tab, and "Whole Page" seems to go to Default (including the sidebar, which I gather should not be there).
Any ideas?
-- Shawn

Hi,
Responsive or Multiscreen?
For the HTML5 version, the frame options for links won't work.
New Window should open a new tab. That is as expected.
The rest will work like a regular link.
The frame options really are just for WebHelp only. And only the new window and whole page make any sense.
Kind regards,
Willam

PDF-Portfolio: link doesn't open a document in a new window

Hello,
i use Acrobat 9 Pro on Win XP SP3.
I will use a link from a maindocument into a PDF-portfolio to another Portfolio document in the same file.
But the (linked) document should be open in a new window.
I can customize the option: targetdocument open in a new window, but this option/function doesn't work.
The document will always open in the same portfolio-window.
(Create link with link tool>add action>go to a page view in another doc> set link> edit action> open targetdocument in: a new window)
sorry, for the description, but i have only the german GUI.
Is there a change to use a JavaScript in the link?
Thanks for response, maikro.

E-mail links won't open when Firefox is my default browser, Sup??

When Firefox is my default browser, links in my e-mail or web sites that open in my e-mail, do not open. Right clicking on the link doesn't do anything for me. When I click on the link the border of the page dims and brightens but no access to the linked page and no error messages. This requires me to use IE as my default browser, that opens links fine, which my whole psychic/genetic makeup abhors. It seems that no one knows what is wrong or how to fix the problem. I tried the chat room but was never able to get through and now it is removed. Is there ANY way to get an answer/solution to this problem?
PS My XP desktop computer Firefox works fine.

I still have this problem and now it is starting to affect the browsers functionality and useability. When Firefox is my default browser any link outside of Firefox won't open which is becoming a nuisance. I am running Windows 7 which may be the cause of the problem via a setting but I can't locate the needle in the haystack or it may have happened at a Firefox update. Firefox has been my favorite and only browser since Netscape 1.0 but if I can't resolve this problem I will have to switch to another which I really don't want to do. Help!!!

Pages 5 won't open

The new versions of Pages and Keynote won't open. I get a "Pages quit unexpectedly" error for both of them. However, I can't revert to the previous versions of Pages as I deleted them! I didn't understand that they were deliberately saved and I thought the two being installed at once may be causing the issue.
How do I redownload the previous version of Pages - I would like to keep these as it now seems there are a lot of missing features in the newer apps too!

I think I have solved this...
Go to Fontbook
Click File > Restore System Fonts...
It will move non-standard fonts to a separate folder, but after doing this Pages, Keynote and Numbers all WORK!!
You can go back and Add back the fonts it removes and they still seem to work.
Good luck!

PLS files as web links won't open in ITunes; still say Winamp

Hello. I apologize if this has been answered, but I searched to the best of my ability, and none of the answers I saw applied to this question. They all seem to say that I should set ITunes up as my default Internet music player, but that option doesn't seem to exist any more. I've seen things that tell me to go to preferences -> advanced -> general, but that general tab isn't there any more. I can't find a setting for "internet music player", so I thought I'd ask here. I recently uninstalled Winamp because of various annoyances, knowing that ITunes can do everything it could do and more. However, now, pls links won't play from either IE9 or Firefox. I can download the pls file and play it that way by just double clicking it. I've used the "Default Programs" method recommended for Windows 7 to make ITunes the default player for these files, and it works perfectly until I try to click on a web link. When I save the pls file, the "File Type" combo box to the right of the file name edit box says "Winamp .pls file". I'm guessing that the browsers are checking some other area and are finding Winamp as the pls player, trying to find it, failing, and returning to the web page with no error. How can I fix this? ITunes works perfectly except for web links. I can't tell by trying other files because I have plugins that play all the other files I have found. How do I make ITunes do this?

Hi, Ed2345. I apologize for clicking the "Correct Answer" button accidentally. Firefox already has ITunes listed as the default player for "Winamp playlist files" which are .pls files. I've gone to a few radio stations, some with AAC streams and some with mp3 streams and the results have been the same. ITunes should be starting for these Winamp playlist files, but that's not happening. How can I add the equivalent of a file extension setting in the browser? These seem to be organized by MIME type. Can I add an extension handler, or perhaps is there a MIME type missing? If so, how do I add it in Firefox? I don't see a "New" button.
V/R,
Brad
