Slow "not responding" reader Adobe 9.3 only on my PC

I already saw many discussions about this issue.
I have a brand new coputer and we have installed now Adobe reader 9.3.
I have so many problems with pdf files. My computer stops for a while when I'm only pointing with my mouse over a pdf document in the explorer; not even opeing it.
I don't have problems with all pdf files, but a pdf with signatures or colours are hopeless.
When I open this same pdf, from the same location on a really old computer from my colleque; there is no problem at all.
Can somebody please advise how i should proceed.
-I have a 3d mouse / solidworks and autocad which I use often; but i don't think that's the problem.
Thanks o much!

to get vista we have actually removed the harddrives from the laptops and had them reimaged from xp to vista...and when we get them back we would insert them in the computer and they would go through a "ghosting" process. we actually had not had this issue until 9.3.2 came out....one source told us that 9.3.2 was a security update, and our machines run on a government system, or a DoD network, where in order to log on you need a military ID and a valid account with IA Awareness Certification attached....in order to even install a printer you need admin rights...is it possible that the fact that its a security update have anything to do with it and the security of our network be causing it to malfunction the way it is....because right now we have resorted to reimaging the hard drive and have the user save everything of theres onto our share drive.

Since installilng Adobe Reader 9 Firefox is very slow & "not responding" How can this be fixed?

Yesterday I installed Adobe Reader 9. Also Firefox became incredibly slow and I keep seeing strange site names in the lower left of the screen. I keep getting "not responding messages", and in 1-2 minutes the screen I wanted comes up. I don't know if they are related. Norton keeps finding lots of "cookies" to remove as well. But that happened prior to this issue.

Try updating Java via Windows Control Panel. The current version is 1.6.0_24. The version you appear to be running is 1.6.0_20

Issue with Print Properties button not responding in Adobe Reader 10.1.10

We've recently been upgrading Adobe Reader 9.4.4 to 10.1.10 and started having a few reports of the Print -> Properties box in Adobe Reader not responding. When this happens Adobe Reader will crash if you click on the Print button. If you go into Devices and Printers and try and access the Printer Properties you are prompted to install the driver for the device. It does seem to be quite random, it will work fine for days and the suddenly happen. I've done testing and have been able to get it happen by opening Outlook, Word or Excel but it is completely hit and miss. Sometimes the issue will happen and other times no matter how many times you open and close the various applications it's fine.
Fortunately it only seems to be an issue when accessing Properties, if you just print there are no options which is probably why we don't have more complaints. Unfortunately this didn't come to light until we'd rolled it out to 2000+ machines across 8 locations.
So far I've tried the following:
1. Upgraded to Adobe Reader 11.0.9 and same issue
2. Created a test print queue using a different print driver (my machine has a different driver again and is using a different print server)
3. Uninstalled a number of applications that have caused us issues with Office 2010 due to dodgy addins (Workshare and HP Filesite)
4. Rolled back to 9.4.4 and seems OK. Problem here is that they receive PDFs in formats not compatible with older than X.
System is Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 32bit, Office Professional 2010, printing is to Ricoh Equitrac (Follow You)
Anyone have a fix for this or come across this before. I'm going to try testing with a Postscript driver to see if that helps, which is the last item on Adobe's troubleshooting list.

Select a PDF file, CMD+I, check the Open With section, and ensure that AR is selected. If not, then select it and click on the Change All button. Alternatively, select Preview, which is my default PDF reader.

... With the latest software updates for OS X, I've read that anti-virus software is largely superfluous for Mac. Any opinions to the contrary/negative experiences?
Almost. Anti-virus software is completely superfluous for Mac.
I have tested most of the commonly available Mac "anti-virus" products under controlled conditions. The only differences between them are their varying degree of worthlessness. Some are malicious and will corrupt your Mac. The vast majority of Mac problems reported on this site are the direct result of using such products.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

Slow, not responding, and not compatible with java etc since updating to 6.0.2. Love Firefox normally but am not happy.

Since updating to Firefox 6.0.2 i have not been happy with the way it is running. It is incredibly slow, keeps telling me its 'not responding' and looking at my add-ons, seems incompatible with the java console, with skype click to call, etc. I also seem unable to look at complex 3d graphics online, which used to work fine. Now they end up crashing the system.
This is a big problem for me, and i have noticed (on your other forums on this website) that others are having similar problems.
Is there any thing i can do before this problem is eventually fixed by firefox?

i tried. like i said, only when i disable all i can watch youtube. i have not checked settings of extensions but i am not an it specialist. i probably would not know what to look for.

Firefox often slow, not responding and showing unresponsive script errors.

In the last few weeks, firefox has often gone unresponsive, usually shown as 'not responding.' This lasts anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes (possibly longer, but by that amount of time I loose patience and 'end task' in task manager.) This is usually followed by an 'unresponsive script' error. Which script it is varies. I've been responding by clicking 'stop script,' which usually fixes the problem temporarily.
The problem seems to occur mostly randomly, but will predictably always occur on site with videos like youtube. Here it is also worse, taking much longer to resolve if it does at all. I've got flashblock active, and sometimes the error will occur before I get a chance to activate the video and sometimes after, but will always occur. Also, on this sort of site, the 'unresponsive script' error will also go unresponsive most of the time, which I've not seen anywhere else, meaning that the only solution, after a while is to end the process in task manager. I've at times attempted to play the same video for half an hour with no success.
As I've therefore spent a fair bit of time in task manager, I've noticed that I end up with many processes running for FlashPlayerPlugin_15_0_0_152.exe*32 (Description: Adobe Flash Player 15.0 r0.) They build up the more I use firefox, but go away when I restart my computer. I've gotten up to at least 50 at one point. Most use 128 or 124 K of memory, but about 1 in 7 uses between 1-5000 K. I don't know if this is linked to the above issues, but I've only noticed it since it started.
I've tried resetting firefox and it changed none of the above.
If it helps, I used Windows 7. Feel free to ask for any more details about my system and I will do my best to answer, though I'm not an expert in computers. Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Thanks for the advice. What solved it was disabling all addons and then restarting the computer. I've since reenabled Adblock (2.6.4) and Flashblock (1.5.17) without causing the problem to reemerge, leaving Troubleshooter (1.1a) as my only previously enabled addon I've not reenabled. I am no longer experiencing the issue.
Regarding updating to version 32, I tried this, but the official site told me I already had the most up to date version of firefox for some reason. Normally, it updates automatically. However, as my issue has been solved I don't consider this a problem.
Thank you very much for your advice.

Running slow, Not responding

My Mac Pro is about 4 years old now. I have internal drives in 3 of the bays. My Main drive (boots from) is 1TB. I'm not even using half of it for system and software. I keep everything else on other drives (photos, files, tunes, etc.) The problem is everything is running very, very slow. Apps including the Finder are often Not Responding. Some just won't open at all. The spinning pinwheel is constantly revolving but not resolving. My browsers are running very slow despite getting 12 MBs/sec download speed from my router. Here's what I've done . . .
Disk Utility - Verify Disk, Verify Permissisons. It says "The volume on Main Drive appears to be ok.
MacKeeper - Scanned and deleted junk files. It says "Your system status is excellent."
Created a new account with Admin rights. Same thing happens with the new account.
Deleted preference files and restarted in hopes of rebuilding preferences.
I'm running the Free Memory app now and it says I'm using 2.15 GBs and have 1.03 GBs free.
I'm not sure if my computer is dying, the hard drive is failing (drive is only 6 months old), memory is running out, or something else. Can anyone suggest something else to try or have any idea what's going on?

I actually solved the issue I was having, hopefully its the same as yours.
Did you by chance copy a large volume of files over to another drive, or do some action similar to this just prior to when the problems started? Because in my case I copied about 20GB of files from one of my internal harddrives, to an external raid unit. Apparently the last 20 or so files didn't copy correctly, and were sitting on my external drive as 0KB files. I deleted those files, and almost immediately my system began behaving normally again.
I have NO idea why an incomplete file copy would cause such an issue, but it seemingly did. Maybe try removing your other 2 internal drives, and just using your boot drive for a few hours (Just to test the theory, but that is of course assuming that the incomplete files aren't on your boot drive itself.)
It made sense in my case, because I had formatted my entire boot drive, and the problem persisted. Turns out the issue was in the other HD's having to do with the incomplete file copies.
The only other thing I can think of that I may be confusing what fixed it is, the very same day security patch 2011-006 was downloaded through the system update. Possibly that alone did the job, I really have no way of knowing. If I had to guess though, I'd still credit the deleting of the partial file copies as the thing that fixed it, as I saw immediate system performance increase.
I hope some bit of this is helpful for you, because I know first hand how irritating these problems are.
Good luck!

You have multiple copies of PACE installed. It isn't entirely clear what this software does, it is a part of DRM with certain software.
You have versions for 10.4 and 10.6 installed as kernel extensions. This is where the OS communicates with the hardware. It can effect the entire OS.
Ideally you would remove the ones that are not required, but I don't know how to tell which versions you need. Some apps will fail to run without it - but it may also be left over junk from apps you no longer use!
I would reboot into Safe mode to see if the Mac runs better with all the third party extensions & startup items disabled.
Bear in mind that safe mode disables many Apple extensions so don't be surprised if graphics are slow or if some features don't work. Test as much as you can.
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support
Intego has a ridiculous number of background jobs that are failing [invalid]. Frankly I would remove that software, I don't think it is needed. At the very least check that it is upto date & supported on 10.10. This is also at the system level, so the OS could be effected by it. Use Intego's instructions for removing it (ideally they have an uninstaller).
Wacom's tablet driver, TechToolPro & the NAS Power software from Buffalo should also be checked for updates & 10.10 compatibility.
Preference panes can also be system wide - ensure the listed ones are up to date. Also check the items that are opening on login. They can make your account unstable. You can login holding shift to disable theses items temporarily - it can indicate if they are part of your issue.

Why has my FireFox gone painfully slow/Not responding since last update?

Since the last update Firefox just does not want to work for me most webpages take 20-30 seconds to load and often It will just not respond and take a minute to load and when it does it will have a script error as for google images forget about it well into 2 mins to load after the not responding message finally goes My brother also uses Firefox and his works perfectly fine, I have disabled all addons and it is the same. If i use another browser (Chrome) It is super fast I have tried some suggestions from other posts like making firefox high priority and such there is little difference if any please dont makeme use chrome

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Thank you.

Firefox getting slower, not responding message regularly. Have used wisefixer to optimise system, any advice? Or just change brower.

Problem has got worse since upgrade to latest version. System hangs with message Firefox (not responding).

In other words, no fixes that require firefox to run or be open can be used. That is the problem, it will not run, but says it is running, even though it is not according to the task manager.

HT1338 my mac pro started running very slow not all the time it is only 2 months old

My new macpro has been running very slow off and on (mostly on) it is only 2 months old I took it into the genius bar and they could not find anything wrong. I took it home and it ran fine for a short while then started up again. I have watched activity monitor and can see no direct corellation. Anyone have any ideas?

Did you install anything new lately?
Run any programs that purport to "clean", "speed up", or "optimize" your Mac

Error message and run time is really slow-not responding

Hello
I am using Adobe Captivate 5 and have been bulding alot of training simulations over the past few days and have noticed that the system seems to be preforming worse and worse as the days go by. So I wondered if maybe there was a setting or something I'm not doing or doing to affect the preformance?
I have attached acouple of screen shots to illustrate what is happening.
Hope you can help.
Cheers
Heidi.

There is some evidence that renaming the file can work but I prefer to open Captivate, select File > New Project > Project from Template and navigate to your current CPTL file. This will then create a normal CPTX file based on your template. I'd use this method just in case there are any issues that might bite you in the end from not doing things the way Adobe originally templates to be used. After you've done this, archive your template away somewhere just in case, and continue your project development using just the CPTX files.

Twitter loading slow, not responding

Yesterday I updated Twitter with the newest update to my MacBook Pro. Since then, it's been slowly loading with the bouncing rainbow ball and giving me the spinning rainbow ball. Why it giving me a hassle? Is anyone else experiencing it? And is there a way to uninstall it, since I kept reporting to Apple about these Twitter issues. :-(
