PDF won't load

I'm using the adobe reader app on my iPad and I'm trying to open the HAMP pdf form off of www.makinghomeaffordable.gov and it won't load please tell me what I need to do

I found the PDF you were trying to open. The website isn't responsive to opening the PDF from a mobile browser. Usually, it would open in the Safari window, then you could use the Share button to open in Adobe Reader on your iPad. But it's of a type the Safari browser can't view (perhaps created with LifeCycle Designer). There is no option provided to open it in any other way.
You'll have to use your Windows or Mac computer and open it there, or use the computer of a friend or at the library.
Sorry, but it's the fault of the website.

When using Firefox, PDFs won't load natively on Mac Mountain Lion (10.8.2), even when all add-ons are disabled. No issue using Firefox on PC

Whenever I click on a web link, do download a PDF form, for example, I get this error message:
"We are sorry, but Adobe Reader is unable to show documents in this browser configuration.
Please use your browser to download this file and open it in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.
To avoid this message in the future, many browsers provide a way to turn off certain add-ons, and some are able to show this document natively. Please contact your browser vendor for more details."
This problem only manifested recently. I have recently added Adobe CS6, but the problem manifests itself even when this is disabled. Any help much appreciated.

The Adobe Reader plugin may not be working properly on Mac.

Pdf files not listed in the preferences/application list, pdf won't load

I am using Mountain Lion and have Adobe reader 10.1.4 installed. When I click on a site to download a pdf file, I get a blank screen and no download (worked fine before mountain lion) I went to the preferences/applications screen and pdf isn't listed in the app list. How can I get to appear there so that I can assign an action to use reader to open it.

I disabled Acrobat as you suggested and it immediately corrected the problem. Then I changed from preview to Reader in the open with dialogue.

When I publish a pdf collection with index to a CD, the index won't load

I am using acrobat XI pro. I have a pdf collection with 30 chapters, a table of contents that is linked to each chapter, and an index. I have inserted a bookmark for the table of contents in each chatper. There are lots of cross chapter links. It all works beautifully on my computer, I can click links between chapters, go back to table of contents using bookmark on each document, and conduct a search that uses the right index and breaks results down per chapter. But when I burn the folder to a CD and install on another computer, the index won't load and the table of contents link is broken. the index is there on the CD, every file and the file structure looks identical to what is on my computer hard drive. I have tried different methods of burning the disc. They all say they are successfully burned. But when I insert into another computer (have tried a laptop and desktop), I either get an error message about the index or it just create it at all. I deleted the index and all of its associated files and recreated from scratch, associating each of the 30 chapter to the index again, but still does not work. Help, past deadline already!

I fail to see the issue. You have added crop marks, have you not? For all intents and purposes those are marks that are supposed to be visible and printable for cutting in the real world. If you don't want them, don't use them. Acrobat can generate them on the fly for printing, anyway.

My Safari won't load PDF's

For months now my Safari won't load pdf's. They just don't show up. I saw an answer in this community to delete a certain plug in. I looked for that and I didn't have that plug in. Any other suggestions to help get this figured out would be splendid.

Hi...
Make sure you are looking in the correct Library. There are two. One is root, one is your Home folder.
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Internet Plug-Ins folder.
If you see this file: Adobe PDF Browser plug-in
Move it to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari.
Tip.. if you are given instructions to go to the root library you'll see this: /Library
For your home folder you'll see this: ~/Library
The (Tilde) character before the forward slash denotes the Home folder.

TS1702 iBooks won't load PDF files any more on my Ipad2. Anybody seen this one before?

Hello All,
iBooks won't load PDF files any more.
I have a lot of PDF files so I thought I reached a maximum number of files or space so I deleted a lot of old files but this did not help.
I rebooted, synced, updated, restarted, etc. - everything that I can think of and I still have the same problem.
I don't remembered the last file that I loaded into iBooks, as I usually put them into collections.
I can still load PDF files into other applications like PDF Reader, but I prefer to have them all in iBooks.
Anybody seen this one before?
I have 64GB iPad2 and I have over 14GB free space.

There have been several threads on this topic over the last few weeks. It's not clear what the issue is, and it is not universal, but tend to effect users storing large numbers of PDFs in iBooks. Possible it has some thing to dowith capacity of the app, or specific characteristics of some of the PDFs.
You might have a look at the "More Like This" list to the left of this page.

Safari won't load; Autoupdate won't run

I've been having trouble with Safari since Christmas. It won't load most web pages (Google, for example). i've tried following the instructions on some of the previous posts, without any success. I've even reloaded the operating system. In addition to the Safari problem, autoupdate won't work for any of my software. I keep getting an error message that I'm not connected to the internet, but when I run the diagnostics, everything checks out. I don't have these problems when I use dial-up service, only with DSL, but it's not the line nor my service provider. A Windows machine works perfectly on the same cable. I've tried the following:
-clearing cache and history
-restarting modem and iBook
-clearing duplicate fonts from font book
-reloading 10.4.8 and all the software
-using Safari from a new test account
-trashing the icons folder
-moving the com.apple.safari.plist file onto the desk top and restarting Safari
Your assistance would be much appreciated! (And your patience - I'm not very Mac literate yet)

Hi again,
Did you run disk permissions repair after your updates if not do so now.
If you are not sure how see Travis A.'s Regular Maintenance/General Troubleshooting
Okay, so you connect via Ethernet, did you enter, or do you already have DNS #s already entered, in your settings you said only that the ISP confirmed your settings.
Get the Dns #s from your ISP I can not find them on the portforward web-site.
However these: ORSC Public Access DNS Nameservers (Anyone can use these, no matter what ISP)
199.166.24.253
199.166.27.253
199.166.28.10
199.166.29.3
199.166.31.3
195.117.6.25
204.57.55.100
Enter the DNS #s in the Network and in the Airport admin utility app found in Utilities (I think it is the Internet tab > & click on the Update button.
See this document for more Quick Assist
Quit Software Updater if it is not:
In Home~/Library/Preferences/ com.apple.Software Update.plist
move the file to the trash.
Do a restart of your computer.
So you know, auto-updating is best disabled since disk permissions repairs should be run prior [ some disagree on the prior I am not one of them]
& after all apple updates see the macmap site I linked you to in my other post.
As for Web archives the best way to save them is as a pdf, under the
"File"menu Print-> when that drops down Save as PDF, that has proved to be more reliable for me.

Iphoto 6.0.6 won't load

ok, i had iphoto 2004, then recently, (after some software updates) it just won't load. i just get 'loading photos'. i decided to purchase ilife 2007. i get the same problem.
this is what happens:
1. it tells me that 'the photo library needs to be upgraded to work withis version of iphoto'
2. i click upgrade
3. it says it's upgrading, then examining, then updating
(in the meantime i get '44 photos have been found in the iphoto library that are not part of this library. would you like to import them?' i have tried both clicking no and yes...but the following has the same result)
4. loading photos spins for 10-15 minutes
5. iphoto quits
i have repaired disk permissions. and my iphoto library is still intact.
please help. thanks- jen

jmatic:
Look in the iPhoto Library folder and see if you have an Originals, Modified and Data folder. If so then try the following suggestions.
First, regarding the 44. Look inside the iPhoto Library folder for a folder titled Imports or Importing, don't remember which. Move it to the desktop and try importing from there.
Before importing those 44 first try rebuilding the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
If that doesn't solve the problem you probably will have to start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from the old library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
If you don't have those three folders then the library is still at the V4 version and will take an entirely different way to recover. Post back and we'll go from there.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Firefox won't load check images from my online bank.

Firefox won't load check images from my online bank. It had been doing so with no problems, but stopped 2 days ago. I can get into my account and navigate with no problems. But when I click to see the image of a check, I get a blank page.
I am using Firefox 3.6, but I have the same problem on my laptop with Firefox 4
It works fine with Safari and Internet Explorer.

If you can't open them in Firefox anymore (you seem to have a plugin: View PDF documents within your web browser) then download the documents to the desktop and open them with a program that can open PDF files.
See also to be sure that that plugin is still selected:

Iphone/ipod touch apps won't load on ipod touch

I have tried to download apps that indicate that they can be used on iphone or ipod touch with 2.2. My ipod touch is updated but the apps won't load. Any ideas?

i also have the same problem, i came across this topic hoping to find an answer. luckily i had just solved my problem. this happened to me twice... i resolved the first problem by restoring to factory setting which is not a good solution cause all my FREE downloaded apps were erased too. so i have to download again.... lately it happened again.. same problem.. but i have resolved it by updating my ups in app store... HOPE this wont happen again.... cause its really bothersome since there arent so many wifi spots here... programs i had are mostly free so maybe its one reason for this problem.... the last app i used b4 the problem was a pdf viewing app... hope this helps...

Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

Specs:
iMac 10.8.5
3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
I deleted it immediately.
Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username.
So I brought my mac back to the store.
Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Tried to install OSX Mavericks now MBP won't load

Hi all
Last night I tried to install OSX Mavericks on my MBP mid-2010 running Mountain Lion. It downloaded fine and then seemed to install fine. When the message came up saying it was going to restart automatically the spinning wheel hanged, which was the first problem. I switched off the MBP and turned it on again. It now refuses to boot up and stays on the Apple bootup screen with the spinning wheel.
I've tried to restart in recovery mode but this doesn't seem to work. It just goes back to the spinning wheel and there is no progress bar that pops up to indicate the recovery data is being downloaded from the net (I don't have a recovery partition).
I have a backup external hard drive that I can use to restore my MBP and then try upgrading again, but I can't use that until I get into recovery mode.
Is anyone able to help?
Thanks

Ok so I worked out how to get into recovery mode. Turns out I was doing it wrong! I used an external USB drive to access recovery mode.
I ran disk utility which identified and fixed some errors on the HD. I thought this might solve the problem but when I restarted the same problem occurred. I then restored my time machine backup which thankfully worked.
I tried installing mavericks again! Upon restarting and completing the install, I got the message 'OSX has been installed. Your computer will now restart'. After the countdown had finished I got the beach ball which span eternally again, just like last time. After about 10 mins I did a hard reset and again OSX won't load.
Lame...

My iPhone 5c won't send iMessages, snapchats, email from the Mail app, and it won't load YouTube. Other internet apps like Pandora and Instagram work fine though. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

A couple days ago I first noticed the problem when snapchats would appear on my lock screen but when I opened the app I kept getting the error message that the app was not able to refresh my story. Then the next day I was no longer able to send iMessages, they wouldn't go through and would only reach the second party when I sent them as text messages. Also, YouTube won't load and Mail won't send or receive email. I've already tried restarting my phone but there was no change. At first I thought my network connection was the problem but Instagram, Safari, Vine and Pandora all work perfectly. Any suggestions?

Try this procedure to be sure of a proper restart.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
I would also try: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
