Reader 11.0.09 freezing upon opening

Since updating to Adobe Reader version 11.0.09, user's are seeing freezing (not responding) when trying to scroll up/down or use the menus. This happens for about 30 seconds before it begins to work normally. It seems to be related to this newer version of Reader trying to get to files.acrobat.com/, which is blocked by our proxy server. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

This issue comes out of two things I can see from our last deployment of 11.0.09.
bEnableAcrobatHS needs to be disabled you can do this via registry or using Adobe's packaging tools. The key below needs to be set to a value of "0" zero. this will shut off the desired options.

Reader 9.3.2 freezes upon opening downloaded .pdf doc; can't uninstall 9.3.2

Adobe Reader 9.3.2 (Win XP) stops functioning (not responding under Task Manager) when I open a downloaded pdf file. Cannot uninstall 9.3.2 to reinstall. Adobe Reader Repair didn't fix the issue. File is set to open w/ Reader. Help!

Hi!
Thank you for your response. The error message I got said that there was another program using Adobe Reader or Acrobat and I needed to close it before uninstalling. But there WASN'T another program open. I shut everything down (did not go thru my "processes running" list on my Task Manager, however...hmm, maybe that was the problem, it now occurs to me....)
I haven't tried the link you gave me yet, b/c I think the problem may be that I downloaded the pdf file using Firefox 3.6 & from what I understand, Firefox 3.6 has issues w/ Acrobat/Reader/pdf files. I WAS able - after trying many times - to open the file in my browser window. I may try to download the file again using IE 8, but it's not an important file and so this issue isn't high on my priority list at the moment! But thank you again for your response. If in the near future, I get a chance to tackle this again, I'll be sure to let you know the result.

Mail app freezes upon opening after Mavericks install

Following my installation of mavericks, apple mail app freezes upon opening. Windows do not open; program immediately begins "not responding." Having followed this with a force quit loop for a day, I installed airmail, a serviceable alternative, but not well integrated with address book. As such, I'm interested in finding a fix for mail app. Advice will be greatly appreciated.

I have same problem with my macbook pro 2009
Worked fine when first installed now mail app fails to open. Not the same issue as with macbook airs.

A day ago I updated my iPhone4 to io5 and I updated iTunes on my PC using Windows 7(64 bit). Now iTunes freezes upon opening and I have to force it to close. Anything I missed along the way?

A day ago I updated my iPhone4 to io5 and iTunes update as well. I use windows7 (64bit). now iTunes freezes at open and I have to force it closed. Anythng I missed along the way?

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Adobe Reader XI launches, but crashes upon opening any file

Environment:
Acer Aspire 5750Z
Windows 7 Home Premium; Service Pack 1
Intel Pentium CPU B940 @ 2.0GHz
4.0 GB RAM
64-bit OS
I can Launch Adobe Reader XI. It displays its home screen.
However, upon opening any PDF file, the program crashes with the following messages:
"Adobe Reader has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem."
followed by:
"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. [close program]."
This occurred with prior version as well.
I uninstalled Reader.
I freshly installed the new version.
The problem remained.

Try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Updated itunes, now it freezes upon opening. even after reinstall.

Hey, I recently updated to the newest version of itunes and whenever i open it it freezes automatically. It pops up and i can't click on anything or do anything.
I've tried reinstalling it and redownloading it multiple times but I still get the same results. I've also made sure to download the one with quicktime.
I tried downloading an older version but it says that my library was created by a newer version and it can't be read. Something along those lines.
Can someone please help me? I'm at my wits end about what to do.

I'm having the same issues! iTunes over the past few days has been freezing on opening (sometimes), freezing during routine playback (sometimes), and when it freezes it refuses to die even when I try to force-quit!
I tried rebuilding my iTunes library as suggested, but it didn't work for me. It froze less than 30 minutes after I went through that rigamarole...

TS2755 Messages freeze upon opening

Upon opening messages it freezes. I would like to try to delete messages?

HI,
When iChat 3 came out someone tested whether it would work on the platform that was running iChat 2 and also tested whether iChat 2 would work on the later OS.
This eventually led to the Reinstall procedure for iChat 3 up to the iChat 5 version.
Since then the app has required either a Backup version from when it was working, a copy on another machine running the same OS and app version numbers (the two go hand in hand) or you have to Reinstall the whole OS which will always update you to the latest version of the OS (and in the case of Messages any updates it has had).

ITunes freezing upon opening

I used to have a 20GB iPod, and I never used iTunes. A few friends of mine put me on to a program called "Ephpod" which I used to upload music on to my iPod. I just thought it was more convenient than iTunes, personally.
Now I just bought a 80GB iPod and I want to use iTunes to buy TV shows and what not. I used Ephpod to load all of my music on to the new iPod, and now when I try to open iTunes it usually freezes as soon as it recognizes my iPod. I'm wondering if it has something to do with my using another program to manage my iPod. Any thoughts? Thanks so much in advance

urhggg same with me.
Its been happening to me ever since I updated it.
I open iTunes, it opens fine but I cant click on anything, and I force shut the iTunes down.
Tried restarting comp and stuff, don't want to reinstall because I might lose all my data and I havnt backed it up in a long time....

Photoshop CS6 freezes upon opening

Running CS6 64-bit on a Windows 7 machine. Everything is updated, and it was working fine yesterday and every day before for the 2 months we've been running it on this machine. New today:
Open Photoshop and it opens the window but you can't click anything. It's like a pretty image file of what your PS experience would look like. Can't close it because even the little red X doesn't register as anything. Have to force quit from Task Manager. Restarted the system (full shut down, pause, start, not just a system restart).
Deleted the Preferences file and restarted the system. That kind of helped. Now we can open and click around for about 25 seconds. That's enough time to change my performance preferences and close the program before it freezes. So I did that and restarted the system. No change. I can also open the "open file" dialogue, but the second that opens, everything freezes back into that pretty picture of what it would look like if I were to be using PS.
Nothing else on the system freezes while PS is frozen. I can do webby stuff and work in other Adobe programs, check my email, dig around in my explorer, pretty much anything I want as long as it isn't PS.
Exception: If I open Bridge, I can use it just fine until I try to open a file from Bridge in Photoshop. Then both programs freeze until I force quit PS. After that, Bridge is happy again. If I try to use Bridge to run a PS process, I get the message window that PS is currently running another process, would I like to queue this one. No matter what I hit, everything gets angry until I force quit Photoshop.
I spoke to a nice man on the customer service line who was very good at reading suggestions like delete preferences or completely reinstall the suite from his list of fixes, but didn't seem to understand at all what I was asking him. So I turn to you, oh forum of knowledge. Anyone know how to fix this? We've reinstalled video drivers. We're currently trying running a repair off the Windows OS disk.
We would like to not have to uninstall and reinstall the whole suite. Everything else works great. AE is happy, Illustrator is happy, Bridge is happy so long as we don't make it talk to PS. If there's a way to just reinstall or run a repair on PS without affecting the rest of the suite, that would be an option too.

Adobe Reader 11.0.06 freeze when open

Hello,
Environment :
Windows 7 32bits
Version : 11.0.06 (test also with version 11.0.08 but not better working).
During some days, when we open adobe PDF the player freeze during some minutes.
I try all I found on web in this forum :
- Uncheck Protected Mode
- Delete Verisign LDAP
- Restart EULA.exe
I precize than a firewall are present and filtering web and application (maybe we must insert a whitelist adobe URL).
Thank you.

Hello Pat,
Thanks for your reply.
I try your both solutions but unfortunetly this not working.
I update to Adobe 11.0.09, restart computer.
At restart this always long each time I start the program.
I go to preferences and disable "show me message ...", and again "protected mode" but it does not work better.
It's strange I have exactly the same master in company and some computer working fine and another freeze at startup.

Acrobat X Freezes Upon Opening

With every new PDF I open, the program freezes the moment I try to scroll down in a document.
The PDF stays frozen for approximately 30 seconds, then continues to act normally.
I think I'm up to date at 10.1.4? What could the problem be and how could i fix this?
I did a search and only came up with (1) result from Acrobat 9.

I might suggest trying to move the addons and macros to a backup folder and see if the issue changes. If so, you can copy them back one at a time. It might help to do a repair. Just some thoughts anyway.

Firefox freezes upon opening, although I have uninstalled the Skype toolbars add-on

I tried opening it in Safe Mode (with all add-ons disabled) and it ran fine. I enabled the skype add-on and FF died, so my best guess is that the Skype add-on was the problem (I could enable or disable, but not uninstall). I uninstalled the add-on from the CP, then uninstalled/reinstalled FF and am still having problems with Firefox, although the Skype add-on is no longer in my add-ons list.
Edit: And now even in Safe Mode, FF is freezing.

Alrighty den... I downloaded AppTrap from downloads.com. I was then able to delete all of the associated Firefox files hidden on my computer with this program. Once done, I was easily able to reinstall Firefox and import my settings from Safari. I am back in the groove. Thank you all for helping me narrow down the problem.

ITunes Hung-Freezes Upon Opening

Before I go into the specific problem, here is a brief history of what has gone down the last few months, just in case you see the problem there.
November 07:
System begins to systematically fail. Back everything up to an external hard drive, then reset OS. All is well.
Mid-November 07:
I notice that many songs didn't get transferred to external hard drive, usually whole albums, so my iTunes is missing about 250 songs I do not presently possess. But wait, I realize they are all safely tucked away on my iPod! So I download Senuti, Isync, and IpodRip trying to extract the songs. None work. Shortly thereafter, I notice shoddy iTunes to iPod performance, meaning certain songs from new albums do not get uploaded. Later, I get a message saying iTunes cannot be read from or written to. All the while, it says the are X number of songs that cannot be found while opening.
Today:
All was going fine until today when, iTunes library of 4000+ is randomly reset to 55 of the first songs I ever imported. Weird. Luckily, the music folder is fine, and I drag it in (as I never exported a saved library). This in effect deletes the songs that had missing/unlinked files, so I decided to plug in my iPod, conceded that I would never get the songs back that way. However, before I could, it kept freezing up of doing the gapless playback info, getting caught on two songs and repeating the process.
When I did plug in the iPod, the same error message came up. ***. I read Apple's page on the matter, and think it might be related to Senuti, etc., so I delete those. No effect. Now I decide I have nothing to lose, and hit restore button. Now when I plugged in iTunes, all that happens is a few lousy podcasts sync and nothing else. Afterwards, iTunes would not even work, and according to Activity Monitor, would get "hung" right after opening. ***. Please help. Need iPod. Need iTunes....

Haha. I have about 45 GB of content total. (thousands of songs, hundreds of audiobooks, hundreds of music videos, a few movies) I'm using the most recent version of iTunes, whatever it is. =P and my computer is very screwy. I've had it freeze 3 times where I had to restart the computer by holding down the power button, and sometimes the screen becomes covered with noise and the monitor becomes completely useless for a few minutes.

After successfully downloading the newest version of itunes, it freezes upon opening. How do I correct this?

When I try to open itunes after downloading the most recent version, itunes freezes on my computer. How can I fix this? I'd like to update my iphone4 to the new operating system but it locks up too after syncing. Any suggestions?

Moved to Adobe Reader.
Assuming you are running Windows, try running the Acrobat/Reader Cleanup Tool, then re-installing.
