Reader X will not open (non-admin account)

I installed Adobe Reader X on an admin account for the computer. On the non-administrator accounts, Adobe Reader X will not open. There are no error messages or anything - it just will not open in non-admin accounts. Is there a setting I've overlooked to allow other users to access it?

How do you open the Reader on the non-admin account - directly (from the Start menu or desktop shortcut), or by double-clicking a PDF file?
After you do that, can you check with the Task Manager's Processes tab if AcroRd32.exe is running?

Application will not open in my account

Photoshop CS3 will not open from my account. It goes through startup but then prompts 'disk not found'. I called adobe support. They asked me to create a new account from which it worked fine. I repaired permissions, no help. They mentioned that it was probably a corrupt permission, but could offer no help. All other applications open.
They also asked me to download a clean erase from adobe to totally erase Photoshop so I could reinstall. The program would not work.
I don't know if I have addressed all that is needed. Any help is appreciated.
I have found these discussions to be very helpful with other issues. Thanks!

If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Safari hangs/will not open in main account; works ok in guest account

Ever since I downloaded the software update for OS X 10.5.4, Safari hangs and will not open a browser window. However, I created a guest account and Safari opens just fine in that account.

Any clues? Thanks!

Hi, Jmaque
Here is part of the opening of the seven page error report.
One log is not 7 pages long, though it may appear that way: )
The most recent report should be the one that is on the bottom of the Safari crash logs,.The most recent is the one we need to see.
Starts with a date... [ more dates you have, more then one crash log ]
Date/Time: 2006-08-18 14:01:37.649 -040

Adobe Reader X - will not open PDFs

When I double click PDFs - they do not open. I have Win 7, 64-Bit. I can open my Reader X program (ver.10.1.3).
I also have Adobe Acrobat X Pro installed on this PC - which now will not open at all - it was working previously.
If I right click a PDF file in explorer, I can select 'Open with Adobe Reader X' and it will open the PDF.
But if a PDF is attached to an email - I cannot double click to open it, the only way is to save it & right click it - a real pain!
Anyone seen this issue and solved it?
Thanks for any help...!

OK - probloem now solved:
I uninstalled Reader X and Acrobat X Pro.
Rebooted PC,
Re-installed my Acrobat X Pro.
And now I ma back to normal - can click on PDFs & they open - hurray!!
Simple - I should have done this a couple of days ago. But with so many listings saying it didn't work for them I didn't go that route...
Glad I changed my mind & gave it a go now.

Adobe Reader XI will not open MMS Links

I am trying to create a document in PDF format for a client that has an MMS link in it but it will not open from Adobe Reader. I got someone to test it with Adobe Acrobat and it works. If I try to create the document from Adobe Acrobat it doesn't make a difference. I have my default web browser set to Internet Explorer since that is the only web browser that works with this kind of link. (Microsoft Media Services). I can copy and paste the link into Internet Explorer and it will Launch correctly so it is something specific with Adobe Reader.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this.
I am creating the document with Word 2013 and saving it as a PDF ( The Links works fine form Word.)

Some other things to try...
Update to Reader version 11.0.5
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Reader X will not open any PDF

I am running Windows XP SP3 and have just insta
lled Reader 10.1.0 and it will not open any PDF's
created in earlier versions, and just gives me a Microsoft error messag
e any help would be appreciated. have tried repairin
gg and uninstalling and re-installing.

Have the same problem and, while not a total solution, offer a work-around that might help you temporarily.
And, yes, I'm running XP SP3 as well, so.....
1.) Find the folder where the Reader X lives (on my system - /Windows/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 10.0/Reader).
2.) Locate AcroRd32 - the file with the Adobe icon.
3.) Right click and go to Properties.
4.) Set Campatibility to *Windows2000*
Reply "OK" to everything and try opening your file(s) again......
Now, you'll still get the Error message initially, and intermittantly, but the PDF window won't close; you can read the document and saving the file still works.
Again, it's not a fix, kinda cludgy, but it got me back on track even tho the message popping up is an annoyance.
Maybe Adobe will fix it as I've seen several folks here with similar experiences.
Happ New Year, btw!!

Final cut will not open within certain accounts

Hi
First post and mac experience limited but I have Final Cut Express HD which worked fine on a suite of standalone imacs. I have just rebuilt them onto a mac network with a local install of FCE. When I logon as admin, FCE will open no problem but when I logon with a standard user network account it will display the splash screen then disappear. However, not all standard accounts have this problem as some users on this mac have no such problem accessing FCE, this seems to rule out a permissions problem. Any help gratefully accepted.

When you say you rebuilt them onto a Mac network, what exactly do you mean? Do you have a Mac running OSX Server (like an xServe) with client users having accounts assigned by Workgroup Manager? ie, they are not logging on to the local machine, they are logging on to their network account? If so, check their permissions in Workgroup Manager, are they allowed to run FCE?
Also, what version of FCE do you have installed.
And is there a separately licensed installation on each client Mac? FCE will not run 'networked' from a server and you cannot have multiple users on the same FCE serial number on a network.

Finder will not open in any account + bizarre behavior

After setting up FileSharing in Mac OS X Server Mountain Lion, I restarted. Now when I log into my account, or any other account I have set up, there are no files on the desktop, the desktop picture is the default, the dock is the default, there is no menubar unless I run an application, and when I click on the Finder I get the error -600 that it cannot open.
I read online that when you get the -600 error that the Finder won't open you can delete the preferences or plist files for the Finder app for that user in the Libraries folder for that user. The thing is that I get this behavior in all accounts and I cannot navigate to the files. I can't navigate to the files in the Finder, because there are no Finder window, menubar or icons to work with.
I am familiar with using Terminal, but for all accounts it puts me in the root directory (/) and I cannot cd into the Users folder to get at the Finder preferences/plist files. It says I do not have permission. When I try "sudo cd Users" and it asks for the password, it does not take the admin password (that works when I log in or change something in the System Preferences).
I also tried booting into Safe mode, but I get the same behavior. Also, I tried resetting the PRAM, same behavior.
Any ideas what is happening or what I could do to get things back to normal?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

FCP 6 Will not open on one Account

This one is strange to me. I have a Mac Book Pro. I use it in teaching my digital film class. Different groups of students use it different periods. Final Cut opens fine on two user accounts, mine, and another classes. However, on one of the accounts FCP 6 opens to the splash screen, gives me the warning that a device is not connected and then just closes.
FCP was opening on that account yesterday, and now it does not. I have reset the Ram for the machine- But am at a loss of even researching this issue.
Please advise-
Thank you

When FCP runs on one account but not another on the same machine, it is a sure sign of corrupted USER preferences for that application. The best way to deal with the corrupted prefs is to use FCP Rescue (Andy has already provided the link.)
Once you've downloaded the correct version, with FCP not running, open FCP Rescue and TRASH the prefs. When you launch FCP again, you will need to reset things like scratch disks and any other custom user settings.
Once you have things the way you like them, use FCP Rescue to save them. If you have problems again, simply restore the settings and the corrupted ones are overwritten by your saved prefs.
good luck.

PDF's in Acrobat Reader X will not open when using the browser, Internet explorer opertes all ok? Mozella 4 is the default browser! Windows XP Home ed with all latest updates!

When using the Mozella Firefox 4 browser and the NEW version Adobe Reader X, PDF's online will not ever open. After 1-3 minuites, I eventually get a message the Adobe reader is running, but need to close and try again! I get same results when trying again.
Internet Explorer operates and opens the online PDF's all ok and the Adobe Reader X seems to operate all else ok!
I think, but not sure, that this issue appeared when the Adobe Reader updated from the older version 9 or so to the NEW Adobe Reader X version about 1 or 2 weeks ago, but not sure. I just remember that Mozella always worked ok previously to the Adobe Reader X version for opening online PDF's last month, etc.
Note that I said that Internet Explorer browser operates ok Using the New automatically upgraded Adobe Reader X for viewing PDF"S! (adobe notified me that the new version 10 (X) was available for updating, etc) I also just discovered that google chrome browser opens the online PDF's ok!
I have not trying re-storing the computer to the previous month, etc, since the issue seems to be with Mozella not liking the Adobe Reader X version and Internet Explored browser operating ok!
Any ideas????

I had the same problem and my solution was to disable the PDF extension that came with Firefox 4 which belongs to another company. I found out that it wast interfering with ReaderX. I unabled it and restarted Firefox. I have had no problems since then. Go to Tools, Add-On and click on Extensions and disable the PDF extension. I hope this helps

Adobe reader 9 will not open in a IE browser window in windows 7 and Server 2003

In short, I think their products do not work very well. I'm not surprised Steve Jobs will not allow Flash on his products and I am not a Mac fan. Every computer I've installed Reader 9 on has had problems opening a pdf in a browser window. I've tried this on various versions of Windows with the same results. To fix it I had to install Reader 8. This is not a solution.

I've got the same problem. I'll look forward to solving this on this thread.
It really sucks- I have a ton of pdf files, and can't save them to Documents or send them out of the Adobe file.
