Safari 6 (7536.25) on Mid 2007 Mini running Lion damages pdf files when downloaded.  Adobe reader can't open them; downloaded via Chrome they can be opened.

When I download pdf files using Safari 6, they can't be read by Adobe Reader; using Safari to read them isn't a solution, because Safari doesn't allow them to be printed page by page.  The same files, downloaded by Chrome, by contrast, can be opened and printed.  Is there a patch for this problem?

I receive a message that:
"Adobe Reader could not open [form name.pdf] because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
Trash the Adobe Reader app from your Applications folder.
Empty the trash.
Go to: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and download the FULL installer to replace Reader and the plug-ins.

  • How can I check for spyware on my Intel based mid-2007 iMac running Lion?

    I recently received a message stating that my Intel based iMac desktop may contain spyware plus a friend sent me a copy of an email to my iCloud email address that i did not send to him, i was not even home using my iMac on that date. I do have anti-virus software on my iMac from Integra and I do a scan each day before i shutdown the iMac and have not received any such warnings from that software.
    I do appreciate any and all advise I can receive in this matter. A long time ago I did receive an email a Yahoo based email address and was notified that I could possibly loose my email account due to junk email being sent from my iMac. I did have the support/warranty from Apple at that time and a phone rep did talk me through steps to check for any intrusion to my iMac with negative results, the iMac was clear of any spyware, etc.
    Hoping there is the same for this issue.

    You can't use a specific Mac OS X disc for a Mac with a different computer. First, call Apple and buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Then, make a backup, insert the DVD and upgrade OS X. Finally, open  > Software Update and install the most recent version

    Start your Mac while holding the X key down. That should force your Mac to start using the OS X partition.

  • Mid-2007 iMac Running Mavericks Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Install

    How do I go about installing a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit (OEM) partition on a mid-2007 iMac running Mavericks?
    Apple  says that 64-bit Windows 7 isn't supported by my model iMac, but I know  for a fact that other people have gotten it to work. I'm just a little  unclear on how exactly to do it. In any case, I made the mistake of  buying two copies of Windows 7 64-bit under the assumption that they  would install just fine on my iMac and MacBook Pro (MacBook Pro is from 2007 as well), so I need to get  this working.
    What version of Boot Camp should I use? What version  support drivers should I download? Apple says that Boot Camp 5.1, which  is what I have, is incompatible with my iMac, and it says the same  thing for every driver download that supports 64-bit versions of Windows  7, but would it be correct to say that this "incompatibility" is only the case if I don't  first modify my Windows 7 installation disc according to the  instructions in the attached link?
    There is a Windows XP  partition on my MacBook Pro, so I figure I can get on it to modify the  installation disc before attempting a 64-bit Windows 7 install on the  iMac.

  • HT201257 I have an iMac (Mid 2007) upgraded to Lion OS. My fan runs all the time at high speed. I tried the SMT reset without results. I could not try the AHT test because it is not on my computer or install disk. Any suggestions what I can do to correct

    I have an iMac (Mid 2007) upgraded to Lion OS. My fan runs at high speed all the time. I reset the SMT without results. I had no way to do the hardware test.
    Can I fix this high fan speed?

    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    If the above doesn't help then create a new user account. Log into the new account. Does this fix the problem?

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account, or is system-wide. Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select “Help” from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Any application you run will behave as if you were running it for the first time.

  • Downloading pdf on iPad mini, opening in Adobe reader, won't open, saying this is not a valid pdf document

    Hi
    I am trying to open a pdf document which is a course qualification handbook.
    I have been able to open other pdf documents in the adobe reader app, any suggestions how I can open the above document.
    I am using an IPad mini.
    Thankyou

    Is the course qualification handbook "protected" in any way?  For example, to limit the access to the content, a protected PDF document may prompt you to enter user name and password or use some proprietary technology to obscure the content.
    Adobe Reader mobile products (Adobe Reader for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) do not support eBooks, protected PDFs, etc.
    Would you try opening the course qualification handbook in the desktop version of Adobe Reader on your Windows or Mac computer and see what happens?

  • Adobe Reader will not open embedded PDFs in Safari with Yosemite

    Adobe Reader will not open embedded PDFs in Safari with Yosemite installed

    That looks like a perfectly good PDF, but since it's trying to open in Microsoft Word, that means your file association for .pdf files is incorrect.  You should change it to point to Adobe Reader instead of Word.
    If you are on Windows, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-file-open-program#1TC=windows-7

  • The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

    The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

    Saving as a PDF file for some users have been a problem.  If you boot into  Safe Mode and run iPhoto you can create undamaged PDF files.  We don't know why the problem but this is a workaround.
    This problem prevents many from ordering books, calendars and cards since iPhoto creates PDF file of them for uploading and printing.  Booting into Safe Mode lets them successfully order those items.

  • Can I transfer files from a Mini running 10.4.11 to a new Mini running Lion? States I need to upgrade Migration Assistant, but I see no viable path I can take. OPtions to get photos over to new Mini?

    Can I transfer files from a Mini running 10.4.11 to a new Mini running Lion? States I need to upgrade Migration Assistant, but I see no viable path I can take. OPtions to get photos over to new Mini?

    Thanks Mende1; I know that PPC apps won't function on Intel machines but I can migrate the Universal apps, right? There is such a large gap between Tiger and Mountain Lion - can I still migrate files directly from one to the other taking the Universal apps as well? Sorry, I'm not very computer savvy!

  • Is it possible to find a version of pages to install on 2007 mac mini running lion?

    Can't install the latest system on my mac mini, it's too old.
    Want to install pages to work with files a friend is sending me.
    The app store only shows the current version of pages which requires the current system.
    Is it possible to find an old version of pages to install to run on 10.7.5 ?
    or better yet on 10.6.8? (on which I'm stuck because quicken stuck there)
    Thank you.

    I cannot answer your Pages question, but...
    What type of file is your friend sending you?
    FYI: Quicken 2007 for Macs (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) is available for only $15 download directly from Intuit:
    http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
    Also, if/when you upgrade, be sure to partition your hard drive or add an external drive and install Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks there!
    Keep your Snow Leopard partition and DO NOT install upgrade over it, as the upgrade will destroy the Snow Leopard environment.

  • Will Mountain Lion run on my mac mini running lion server?

    I like the new features of Mountain Lion and I am not utilizing the "server" functions of lion.  Will the new os effect the mini's operation?

    Which Mini exactly, some cannot use 10.8?
    10.7 was far more steps backwards than forwards, ML/10.8 has a few step forwards from 10.7 & a few backwrds...
    Macs that will support OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
    As usual, the newer the Mac the better:
              •          MacBook Pro – 13″ from mid 2009 or later, 15″ from late 2007 and newer, 17″ from late 2007 and newer
              •          MacBook Air – late 2008 and newer
              •          iMac – models from mid 2007 and newer
              •          MacBook – 13″ aluminum from 2008, 13″ from 2009 and newer
              •          Mac Mini – early 2009 and newer
              •          Mac Pro – early 2008 models and newer
              •          XServe – early 2009 models and newer
    Macs that are NOT expected to support OS X Mountain Lion
    Older Macs and those with weaker GPU’s will likely be left behind:
              •          Anything with an Intel GMA 950 or x3100 integrated graphics card
              •          Anything with an ATI Radeon X1600
              •          MacBook models released prior to 2008
              •          Mac Mini released prior to 2007
              •          iMac models released prior to 2007
              •          Original MacBook Air
    This list of compatible and incompatible Macs and system requirements are based off of the first OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview and may be subject to change, we will update when we learn more about the specifics. OS X Mountain Lion will be released this summer but presumably long before that we will know precise system requirements and what Macs are and are not supported by the new version of OS X. Stay tuned.

  • I am unable to print PDF's using either Adobe Reader or Safari. In Adobe Reader, I get an error message from my Cannon printer that says, "/usr.libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed". In Safari, I can only print the first page of a PDF.

    To try to resolve this problem, I have done the following actions.
    1 - I have run Disk Warrior.
    2 - I have repaired permissions.
    3 - I have deleted all plist that are either Cannon or Adobe.
    4 - I have downloaded and installed the lastest versions of Adobe Reader and the Cannon printer drivers.
    I am still unable to print PDF's.
    In Safari, I can print only the first page. In a multipage PDF, Safari only seems to recognize the first page.
    In Adobe Reader, I get an error message from my printer: "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed".
    Any help would be greatly appreicated!

    Quit Safari.
    Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
    ☞ If running OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.

    Relaunch Safari and test.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select "/var/log/cups/error_log" from the file list. Post the messages from the time of the last printing attempt.
