Quicktime Applets and Adobe Reader don't work in Safari

If I am on a website that requires Quicktime, Adobe Reader or an applet, nothing works. With Quicktime the only thing that appears is the scroll bar with sound but no movie, with Adobe Reader or an applet the only thing that comes up is the logo. I have re-installed the plug-ins but still nothing. I have 3 Mac Pros in my small office and one at home and it is the same on all computers. I have to use Firefox which works great. I am running Leopard 10.5.3.
Any suggestions?

I tried Lynda.com and it has a script that causes Flash 9 to run slowly, so I aborted that. Apple.com doesn't play trailers for me, either; it doesn't even show any link is active on the trailers, so that could be a coding issue specific to Safari, as Camino and Firefox don't pose any problem.
Safari has the ability to view PDFs without any plug-ins. You can disable the Acrobat Reader plug-in either by removing it from ~/Library/InternetPlug-Ins, or launching Acrobat Reader, go to Preferences>Internet and uncheck the box labeled "Display PDF in browser using…"; then quit Acrobat Reader and Safari, relaunch and try again.

  • Windows 7 And Adobe ReADER X Stopped working

    I have looked at "solutions"  to this problem and still have not been satisfied. I reinstalled Adobe Reader X on my brand new computer and I keep getting "Adobe Reader has stopped working". I have seen people reporting this from March 2011. Have you got a fix for this yet?

    Could you please try and apply the fix at: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/928/cpsid_92870.html and see if it fixes the issue.

  • Help! Youcam, Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Adobe Reader all not working in U310

    Using a U310 ideapad with Windows 7 bought one year ago - warranty just expired of course!!
    5 days ago I tried to pull up and excel spreadsheet from an e-mail and got an error message that there was not enough memory to do so.
    Afterward, I tried to open word and it simply grayed out with a message box saying it was not working - it would try to fix the problem and then it just disappeared.  The same thing continues to happen.
    I tried to open a PDF with Adobe Reader and it, too, crashed.  I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, stopped it from coming up in protected mode and now it doesn't crash but I cannot edit any pdf with it and the tools box no longer works at all - a small circle spins in it for a couple of seconds, then fades to gray.
    My youcam will not turn on at all - when I click on the youcam icon, the cursor spins for a couple of seconds,then returns to an arrow and the youcam doesn't come on.
    So, after experiencing all these things, I figured I'd try the tried-and-true method of rebooting my laptop.  When the laptop restarted, before allowing me to enter my password, the error message "verifyhost.exe - application error unable to start correctly Oxc000007b" came up.  I x'd out of that, entered password, then 2 other errors came up "lenovoreg.exe" and SACpl.exe
    After working on this for hours, I'm really at a loss as to what it could be.  Does anyone have any idea?   It's unbelievable to me that this has happened on a new laptop that basically just sits on my desk - I don't travel with it and don't do much more than email and word processing on it!  I have no games and very little else even downloaded!  

    Download this, install, update and try to scan your hdd for malware.

  • Qosmio G35-600 - Control buttons and card reader don't work

    Hi,
    So I recently installed windows XP on my Toshiba Qosmio G35-600 and I found all the drivers except for two. If anyone out there could help me find them that would be great.
    1) The first driver I cannot find is for the Toshiba control buttons at the top of my keyboard (I believe that is what they are called). Quosmios have 12 buttons on the top above the F keys, and currently only my power button, the brightness up and down buttons, and the dolby sound buttons work. The analog TV button, the media center button, play, stop, previous, next,record, and s-video out buttons don't do anything anymore. It would be cool if i had an s-video out ability again but mostly what i want is the play, previous, and next buttons to work.
    2)The second problem I am having is with my built in SD card reader. A few times I thought I found the correct driver but after installing it the SD card was not showing up in my computer.
    A preemptive thanks for the help,
    Xamboni

    Hello
    I think you should install the Toshiba controls for Windows XP that you can find on the Toshiba website. Check this!
    http://www.csd.toshiba.com
    The driver for the SD card slot you can find on the Toshiba website too.
    What SD card have you tried?
    Try it with an other SD card and use the Toshiba SD card utility to format the card.

  • Helpful and Solved buttons don't work with Safari

    I had to switch to Firefox to use them. Am I the only one?
    MacGee.

    Thanks, Kady. I tried from another account and it worked. I then temporarily deleted the following files:
    ~/Library/Preferences
    ~/Library/Safari
    ~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    ~/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    with no effect. And of course I can't reinstall Safari without reinstalling 10.4.3, which seems like too much trouble. Any other suggestions?

  • Javascript and adobe flashplayer don't work. They work on internet explorer

    Is this a problem caused by a recent firefox update. I did not have the problem with javascript until this week. I have always had a problem with flashplayer

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • I have a 2013 iMac and adobe flash and reader don't work, why.

    I cannot open PDF's and adobe flash does not work what can I do?

    I have ordered a 27inch late 2012 but your questions is puzzling.  The pdf viewer is built into "quick look" and finder can even display thumbnails of pdf documents.  Did you download a pdf viewer from adobe?  Is a different program now set to be the default for opening pdfs?  When you got the computer did you setup or migrate from an existing mac?
    If you right click or command-click on a pdf, what are the options to view it?

  • I have uninstalled and reinstalled the most current edition of Adobe Reader, including the patch. When I open a PDF file, the screen is first grey, then viewable, but the message "Adobe Reader has stopped working" comes up. How do I remedy this?

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the most current edition of Adobe Reader (11.9), including the patch. When I open a PDF file, the screen is first grey, then viewable, but then the message "Adobe Reader has stopped working" comes up. How do I remedy this?

    RR,
    One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
    Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
    http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
    and another similar website,
    http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error-occurred-pdf2dtp-fi le-recovery/
    As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.
    Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

    Failing a full recovery, hopefully you have one or more earlier versions and/or bits of artwork saved before it happened.

  • Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro (Editable PDF Combobox Search is not working properly.)

    I have created Editable PDF using itext(5.3.0) in java. I have used Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro.  But in editable PDF combobox search is  not working properly.
    It's only search first character.

    My (admittedly old and slow) system did this too the first time I opened Reader 11, but it "unfroze" after about fifteen seconds, (an eternity in computing time, I know, but it did eventually open all the way) What you're seeing on the right is the "Tools" panel initializing. That's exactly where mine would freeze up on starting. Once it did finally open fully, I clicked the "Tools" link at the top to close the panel, and I opened and viewed a document that way, then closed reader. Now when I open Reader, the Tools panel doesn't initialize and it opens immediately.
    Reboot and before you open anything else, open Reader. When you open it, DO NOT try to do anything with it until it fully opens, don't click anything, don't try to switch to another app. Give it time to open fully, and then click the Tools link to close it. Then, open and view a document, and close it. Close Reader and reopen it. the Tools panel should remain closed and Reader should open fully immediately.

  • With APTT and Adobe Reader QTP spy on a PDF document causes Adobe Reader to stop working

    Hi,
    We have the below configurations,
    QTP Version 11
    Adobe Reader 10.1.2
    Adobe PDF Test Toolkit for Adobe Reader 10.1.1 onwards
    Windows 7 64 bit OS
    Internet Explorer 8
    QTP shows AcroQTP in the Add-in page.
    But when an object Spy is done on a PDF document we get the message "Adobe Reader has stopped working" and it crashes.
    Please provide me a solution for this problem
    Thanks,
    Kruthika.

    Hi
    We have lately found that due to some of our changes in Reader 10.1.2 release, the plugins have broken.
    They still continue to work with Adobe Reader 10.1.0 and 10.1.1 ON ANY ENVIRONMENT WITH ANY QTP VERSION.
    For the time being, before Adobe roll out a fix, we would suggest you not to upgrade the Adobe Reader versions.
    Thanks and Regards

  • I cannot get Adobe Reader 11 to work - what have I done wrong?

    I cannot get Adobe Reader 11 to work - what have I done wrong?

    Hi Pat,
    I usually don’t have trouble explaining my problems, but this one is confusing the heck out of me.  I just downloaded Reader 11.  It is installed, I believe.  This is the first time Reader has not worked for me after upgrading to a newer version.  I’ve been reading PDF files forever, but tonight when I went to read a pdf file that I received today, I clicked on the file, expecting Reader to open up and it never did.  Then I tried to read some older pdf files and nothing happened when I tried to open the file.  I’ve been using Acrobat Reader for years so that’s why I’m so confused.
    I downloaded the file from the adobe.com website. and everything seemed to be fine.  My question is indeed vague, but I don’t know any other way to explain what happened.  Should I uninstall and start over??
    Thanks, Elaine

  • Why don't the Adobe Acrobat 10.1.6 and Adobe Reader 9.5.4 patches update the version on the exe file

    Why don't the Adobe Acrobat 10.1.6 and Adobe Reader 9.5.4 patches update the version on the exe file ? My vulnerability reports show these installations are not patched when they really are.

    Hi All,
    I also facing the same issue with Adobe reader 9.5.4 version update.
    Previous Version installed: 9.5.3
    AcroRd32.exe - File Version 9.5.3.305
    AcroRd32.dll - File version 9.5.3.305
    After update installation to 9.5.4, add or remove program shows latest version but exe and dll is not updated. Vulnerability assessment tools based on file version check identifies patch is still missing. Becomes a HEAD ACHE.
    Adobe Reader 9 > Help > About Adobe Reader 9 - First shows version 9.5.4, if your click on it instead of showing AGM version next it shows version 9.5.3.305.
    I tested for all previous versions of 9x, works fine in each update. Seems like patch is missing codes for updating file versions.
    Waiting for an acknowledgement.
