Preview crashed while printing PDF, now can't get rid of PDF.

Hello, I need some help. The other day, I was making a PDF out of individual images in Preview, and while I was 'printing'/saving it as a PDF, I noticed that it was taking an abnormally long time. Preview then crashed. I tried to open the PDF, which I had saved to my Desktop, but I got (and still get) this error:
+Couldn’t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize.+
I tried to delete it, so that I could start over again without having the same named file on my desktop, but when I empty the trash, I get the following error:
+The operation cannot be completed because the item "Acts 7.pdf" is in use.+
I would like to get rid of this thing, and make a new file once I redownload the images. Any assistance in deleting this, or at least finding out why it won't open, would be appreciated. Thank you!

If you tap on the PDF you should get a Done button appear at the top left of the screen

You don't take the pictures off the PC you leave them there and tell iTunes that you don't want them on the iPad (by unchecking them) and then sync. That will delete the pictures from the iPad.

I downloaded a program that was an adware with out understanding what it really was and now can't get rid of it. How do I get rid of it?

Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover that type of adware, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

App installed halfway - now can't get rid of it

My wire got disconnected halfway installing an app. Now it's forever stuck at the 'waiting' status. I'd like to get rid of the app and put it on again, but I can't. There's no X for me to click on, when I'm on the iPhone to uninstall. iTunes uninstall by 'unchecking tick box' for the app doesn't seem to be working. When I go appstore, it says app already installed.
Help!

You downloaded the app with iTunes on your computer?
If so, no change after syncing your iPhone with iTunes with the app selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes - the app is not installed on your iPhone?
If not, the app is not completely removed from your iPhone after deselecting the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync?

Preview is crashing while printing PDF

I am trying to print to PDF and each time I get the same message:
Preview quit unexpectedly.
Someone please help!

My issue is resolved.
I did the following:
1. Removed my printer.
2. Rebooted (did not automatically open applications after reboot)
3. Opened Preview and tried to Print-to-PDF. Unfortunately it still crashed.
4. Restarted Preview and tried to Export a file to PDF (this worked).
5. Then tried Print-to-PDF, and it worked!
Happy me

Couldn't install CS4 Master Trial now can't get rid of it.

I was not successful at installing CS4 Master Collection Trial. I received installation errors for all of the applications on Disk2. Some form of 1620 error code. I called support. Was told that perhaps I had a corrupt disk, so they said they would send a replacement. They didn't. So rather than go through the queue again, I felt it was easier to just pony up another $16 and try again. Same result.
So I gave up and tried to reinstall Acrobat CS3 because Adobe in it's infinite wisdom, chooses to upgrade your Acrobat whenever a new version is introduced to the system. Problem being that since I couldn't successfully install CS4, I now had a non-working Acrobat.
So I called support again. (sorry, live-chat). After fully describing the issue, providing numerous proofs, serial numbers, customer ID's etc. The response came back. You need to uninstall the full CS3 suite and reinstall. Fine, I had nothing to do on my weekend. I could kill 8 hours working on this, so I uninstalled the CS3. This is of course AFTER I had uninstalled what did install of the CS4. And you know what? CS3 install wanted the CS4 disk 1 dozens of times. Guess the uninstall wasn't so complete after all.
So I got completely frustrated, went out and bought Win7 (Professional 64-bit). Figured I would do a complete wipe of my system. Install from "Gold" OS code. Stupidly I chose to try the CS4 trial. Figuring on a lark that perhaps now, on virgin territory, that it would in fact install. No such luck.
So I uninstalled again. I reinstalled CS3 Web Premium and was successful!! yeah! But hold on. I had bought InDesign CS3 separately as it didn't come with Web Premium. And you know what, InDesign installer wanted the CS4 Disk 1 again.
So I did a web search for a cleanup script for CS4, because I have been through this before with CS3. I found the cleanup script, and installed it. I found that there were 4 entries in the install log:
List of products installed on this machine
1   Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection
2   Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium
3   Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2
4   Adobe InDesign CS3
So I chose to uninstall InD first. No problem:
List of products installed on this machine
1   Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection
2   Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium
3   Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2
I then tried to un-install CS4. Below are the results:

Suggestions???

I have the exact same problem, same version of CS, and exact same error details.
In my case, I had CS4 installed and running fine for a couple of months, under Vista Ultimate 64 on a Gateway P-173XL FX laptop. Then my hard drive crashed and I rebuilt it from scratch, reformatting and reinstalling the OS.
CS4 was one of the first apps I tried to reinstall. I had some trouble with it, as the installation kept running into errors:
     Adobe Color JA Extra Settings CS4
     Error 1603. Internal error 2203.
     C:\Windows\Installer\33f6ffc.msi   -2147287035
Per advice from this forum, I downloaded and ran the CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility to make sure all vestiges of the failed installation were removed. Tried the installation again, and got:
     Adobe WinSoft Logistics Plugin
     Error 1603. Internal error 2203.
     C:\Windows\Installer\3833d9c.msi    -2147287035
Same error, different place. Tried again:
     Adobe Color NA Recommended Settings CS4
     Error 1603. Internal error 2203.
     C:\Windows\Installer\3cb0bc.msi    -2147287035
Lather, rinse, repeat. A little different this time:
     Adobe Bridge CS4
     Fatal error during installation.
This time, when I tried to run the CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility prior to another attempt, it failed with the same error that rdhinman reported:
     File "CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.py", line 1263, in RemoveSessionFromCaps
     UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe0' in position 163: ordinal not in range(128)
     C:\Users>
Needless to say this is highly frustrating, especially since the installation and operation of CS4 pre-crash was flawless. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Multiple windows open up in one browser. I drag and dropped websites to the taskbar and now can't get rid of it.

I thought it would be convenient for 3 windows to open automatically in one browser. It slows my laptop down and I want to be able to click on Firefox and have just one window open. Any ideas how to fix?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Accidently said yes to pop up and can't get rid of it

A pop up was blocked while I was playing koc, I accidently hit allow pop up and now can not get rid of it

You can review and revoke pop-up permissions here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Content
Try the first Exceptions button on the right, the one across from "Block pop-up windows"
Does it work?

I recently downloaded new Firefox; an option was a new top of the page skin. I don't like ; can't get rid of it. what to do?

After downloading newest firefox an option showed up: do you want one on these new skins to top your opening page? I opted for one of them and now can't get rid of it. I prefer the old . What's there now looks like a background for several toolbars. Contrast is bad.

You can set Firefox back to using the default theme. Open the add-ons manager (in the tools menu select Add-ons), in the add-ons manager go to the Themes panel. Click on the Default theme in the list of themes then click on the "Use Theme" button.
For more details see using themes with Firefox.

IPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it wont charge or be recognized in iTunes; it's been like this for 3 days now. Please help,..Thanks!

iPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it won't charge or be recognized in iTunes because it's completely dead; it's been dead for 3 days now. I've tried pressing home/sleep buttons for reset but nothing works, I've tried using different usb ports to charge it, but nothing seems to work. Please help asap. ...Thanks!(:

After charging the iPod for half an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

WIN8.1 crashes while printing from Acrobat reader

My PC crashes while printing from Reader. I installed the actual Driver for my Printer and repaired the Reader-Installation.
I can print without Problems with other applications.
Can anybody help me ?? Thank you !!

If you mean 11.0.0, update to 11.0.10 and try again.
If that does not help, try disabling Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

HP Laserjet 4250 - While Printing PDFs with Watermark, Prints images as scrambled

Hi,
I am using HP Laserjet 4250 printer. While Printing PDFs with Watermark, the printer prints images as scrambled. It prints the part of the image as scrambled which is overlapped by the Watermark. The other part of the image is printed fine. When seen on the screen, it shows up the image with the watermark properly. Could you please suggest how to arrive at a solution for this problem. Thanks in advance.

Hi @Sebastian43
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as the HP LaserJet 6L is a commercial model.

The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.

Best of luck.
