Safari and Adobe Downloading Help.

I try to download it and you have to get out of Safari I do
and I try to run the download and it tells me to get out of Safari
and try again? I try to log on to certain websites and it asks for
the Adobe Flash Player to be installed what do I need to do? Thank
You

Thanks for the reply. Short answer: Safari, or Acrobat Pro.
In short, if I open Safari (or Acrobat Pro, or both), and quit them after a while (a few minutes or so), no problem. They quit as expected.
But if I open any of them (or both) in the morning (I cold boot the Mac in the morning and shut it down at night every single day) and try to quit any of them (Safari or Acrobat) at night, each one of them takes several minutes to quit. In fact, if instead of quitting them I try to shut down, I get the error:
"Logout has timed out" - "The application Safari failed to quit and is not responding"
or
"Logout has timed out" - "The application Acrobat failed to quit and is not responding"
If then I leave the Mac idle a few minutes and them try to shut down the Mac again, it shuts down (this time, immediately; in one second or so).
IN SUMMARY. Something is preventing Safari (and the same for Acrobat Pro) to shut down normally in a few seconds. Instead, they need minutes to shut down.

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

I get missing plug-in error when opening my online bill which is in PDF format. I am using a 2010 Macbook with the latest version of Safari and Adobe suite installed in my computer. Why do I get this error? What should I do?

I get missing plug-in error when opening my online bill which is in PDF format. I am using a 2010 Macbook with the latest version of Safari and Adobe suite installed in my computer. Why do I get this error? What should I do?

In relation to my previous inquiry regarding inability to view a pdf file using Safari...
Is it possible that I can view other online bills from other website but not this particular bill from one specific website?
Sorry if I missed any important point in this article -->Apple Safari 5.1 and Adobe Reader/Acrobat Advisory
Thanks again!

I am trying to download a video from the BBC iplayer and the downloader helper will not start. How can I solve this problem

I am trying to download video from the BBC iplayer and the download helper will not start. How do I get it to start?

No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
"This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.
Configure conversion ?"
And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key.

Safari and Adobe Reader - document download error

Hello,
I have Adobe 10.x and when clicking on links to open a pdf in Safari, ie bank statements I receive an error message. I realize this forum is for Safari only, but for review purposes I have tried to download pdfs in Firefox and Chrome as well. The error message reads "/Downloads/doc-9.pdf could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to disk first and then opening the file." That would be great if it gave me the option to save it, but it doesn't. I also checked on Adobe's site, but couldn't find any answers. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
Relaunch Safari. See if that made a difference.
If not, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari. Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If that helped, move that .plist file to the Trash, if not move it back to the Preferences folder.

I'm sure that a little further explanation would help. What does "Safari and iTunes isn't working" mean exactly? They are crashing? They will not launch at all? Really ... come on ... help us help you ... Explain what is happening.

Third party app messes with safari and chrome any help?

The other day I downloaded GBA4 iOS on my iphone. It worked fine and I had no problems. A day later I was using safari and I was told safari can not identify the website so I went to details and I saw a false certificate for google : *.google.com. This is obviously an attempt at phishing and later the same thing happened with a false Facebook. So I am kind of worried. I haven't accepted any certificates yet. But I need help to fix this. I deleted the third party app and did a hard reboot but nothing any ideas?

Because that GBA app is unauthorised, and the developer has had his developer certificate revoked, you had to put the date back on your iPhone. Did you change it back again afterwards? If not, that is what is causing the problem.
The certificate requests you are getting are not fake. It's just that your phone thinks they are out of date because the date on your phone is set back.

Adobe downloads the wrong CS4 trial version from the Adobe download site. When I select Premiere CS4 English/Windows, it downloads After Effects CS3. When I select Premiere Elements 7 English/Windows, it downloads Premiere CS4. How can something so basic be so wrong on the Adobe download site?

Safari has stopped downloading, help!

Safari Version 5.1.10 doesn't download, instead it shows that it's loading a page and just shows me a blank dark page. In some cases I have been able to right-click and select download, but that option is not always available to me (I'm trying to download a music manager from google https://play.google.com/music/listen?utm_source=en-us-music-unlock-lp&utm_medium =unlock-lp&utm_campaign=unlock&utm_content=sign-up#/manager). Please help!

Thanks for your ideas so far. My desktop Mac still works fine with Firefox. Does this shed more light or not?

Command + R (Refresh) not working in Safari and Firefox need Help!

I been having trouble with Command + R (Refresh) in Safari and Firefox for a while, I used to have a MBP 2006 intel 2.4 running Leopard when the problem started,but since I was planning to change to a new computer I didn't pay much attention.
Recently I got a MBP w/ Retina and migrated the info from my old Mac to the new one, and it seem like the Command + R problem to refresh in Safari and Firefox has been brought with the migration.
Another pointer is that I have my mac setup in Spanish although it was setup in English before. This does not seem to be the problem.
Any Ideas on how can I solve this?
Than in advance.

Recently Safari started slowing and presenting the infamous spinning wheel of death whenever page has anything flash in it. Since many pages have ads coming in on flash many pages are effected. I almost thought that I had a virus on machine, being a PC guy for 20 plus year prior you can get, pun intended, flashbacks of deadly blue screen etc. Was happening on both my machines readily apparent on homepage msnbc and the like. I cleared caches etc etc infinitum thought I was back on Windows for a minute. I know from listening to various Mac tech shows on twit.tv that Apple apparently is not fond of flash programming as evidenced that flash not on Itouch or Ipad. But what, trying to kil it on regular machines?
When I first came to apple a couple years ago I was using Google Chrome browser on MSFT macines and loved it but atthe time Chrom did not make Mac version. I used Safari and was happy enough UNTIL LATELY with it not to bother with other browsers. NO MORE, so went hunting and happily found that Chrome for Mac available. AMAZINGLY no problems so far msnbc loads, without exaggeration, TEN times faster than on safari, no spiining wheels of death EVERYTHING faster like someone gave my Mac's a B12 shot and restored them to how they used to be. Easily transferred all favorites over simple import.
So far only down side I have found was that bank statement pdf downloads and the like that Safari had bottom screen popup to one click download not on Chrome and print to pdf doesn't seem to do it right so far but I amstill playing. So when I do bank statements I fire up Sarari and suffer the speed.
There is no reason for this APPLE!!! If you are not going to have Safari be the best browser out there for a mac then you should dump it and recommend sometghign else. Please don;t be like MSFT and Internet Explorer junk!

The icons for the Personas Plus and Video Download Helper extensions are not displaying on a fresh install of Firefox 3.6.12

I had to do a complete uninstall and reinstall of my up-t0-date Firefox due to another problem (it would only open one window), but after reinstalling my extensions, their icons were not displaying.
I uninstalled and reinstalled again, but the Personas Plus fox will not display in the status bar, and the Video Download Helper icon will not display in the Navigation toolbar, and is not available in the Customize Toolbars menu.
These extensions worked fine before. What's wrong now?

You need to set options in those add-ons and/or use Customize Toolbars. Always look at instructions on each add-on's page at https://addons.mozilla.org/ ,
-search for and locate the add-on,
-open the page for that add-on,
-review the information there,
-then visit and bookmark the developer's home page shown on the add-on page; many add-on developers also have a forum for questions, so look for a link on the developer's home page.
Most questions can be answered in one of those places.
'''ABP''': Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, locate and click on ABP, click Options, in ABP interface, click on Options tab, if no check mark at "Show in toolbar" or "Show in status bar", you can click on each of those items to place a check mark and they will show in one or both places. On the add-ons page https://addons.mozilla.org/ visit and bookmark the developer's home page and forum.
'''NoScript'''
'''''For the toolbar''''': scroll down on the following to the paragraph in the first section beginning with "A set of toolbar buttons is also provided:" and read that section: http://noscript.net/features#basics . It gives instructions on using the Customize Toolbar function to place the icon on your toolbar. Also see:
''' [[Back and forward or other toolbar buttons are missing]]'''
'''[[Navigation Toolbar items]]'''
'''[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar How to customize the toolbar]'''
'''''For the Status Bar''''': Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, locate and click on NoScript, click Options, click Advanced tab, check your preferences; see 4th image on: http://noscript.net/screenshots
'''IE Tab 2''': Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, locate and click on IE Tab 2, look under "Image Gallery", 3rd row, 1st image: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/92382/ . Unfortunately, this developer has moved his home page and not updated the add-ons page. I use IE Tab Plus (formerly Coral IE Tab).

Safari (and Adobe Acrobat Pro) take minutes to quit!!!

Safari 4.0.4 (and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.2.0) take several minutes to quit on Mactel with Mac OS X 10.5.8. I thought that they had frozen after selecting to quit such applications, or logout, restart or shutdown the Mac, but if I leave the Mac for several minutes, they eventually quit.
What can it be? The Console does not indicate any special activity.

Thanks for the reply. Short answer: Safari, or Acrobat Pro.
In short, if I open Safari (or Acrobat Pro, or both), and quit them after a while (a few minutes or so), no problem. They quit as expected.
