This morning, Firefox stopped opening .pdf documents that I am trying to retrieve from websites. It does not download them, and the page goes blank, with nothing more happening. What do I do to fix it?

I went to the FAA website, and I needed to review a document. I clicked on the link, the page turned blank, but I never saw the document. I tried again, but I still could not get the document. Word documents still bring up the dialog box allowing me to open the document. I went to another website to find additional information on the project I am working on, and I am experiencing the same problem, when I click on a link to a pdf, it will not open, and the download dialog box does not open.
I have tried looking at applications and plugins, but everything seems to be fine. What do I do to fix this?
Thanks,
Anne

  • When I upload photos to iPhoto from my iPhone and then press delete from iPhone it does not delete them, how do I fix this?

    When I upload photos to iPhoto from my iPhone and then press delete from iPhone it does not delete them, how do I fix this?

    I am having the same problems as this person. I see that someone said there is no way to retrieve the pictures once it gets stuck in recovery mode.
    Then further along someone said that there are data retrieval methods except they have something to do with jail breaking a phone.
    My phone is already jail broken. It was kind of a gift from the company I work for- it was a fellow employees before. He jail broke it and then it was given to me. After I got it I activated the 4 and tried to back up everything. It didn't work and "Springboard" forced the phone into safety mode. So I could use it with the old dude's apps and my contacts. I made the mistake of using the phone for wedding dress shopping with a friend. I took tons of pictures.
    After this I found out the messages I was seeing meant it was jail broken. At&t said to force restore the phone - iTunes wouldn't recognize it in safety mode. I'm an idiot and didn't realize what this meant for my pictures. It didn't work (error 1611) - thankfully. Now it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes icon and USB cable picture).
    Can I access that media in any way? It never suceeded restoring itself so is it still there? The phone is jail broken already so is there a method I can use?

  • TS1368 When I open iTunes store the page goes blank on my MacBook

    When I open iTunes store it shows the loading bar, it goes to about half and then the page goes blank and I can do nothing but go back to my library. What can I do?

    All software has bugs. Try closing the Camera app via the phone's taskbar and do a soft-reset of your phone, and/or update to the iOS 8.2 which was released yesterday).
    Closing an app : Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
    Soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • How do i recover my purchased movies on itunes. the icloud does not show them and i have contacted apple twice before about this issue

    how do i recover my purchased movies on itunes. the icloud does not show them and i have contacted apple twice before about this issue

    Not all movies qualify for download on demand from iTunes in the Cloud, the rights may be reserved by the content provider and can vary by region. What response have you had from iTunes Store support?
    If you have still have the computer they were on it might be possible to extract the hard drive, mount it in an external drive bay and recover the content from it.

  • My apple tv stopped working. When I hit a button on the remote I see the signal gets to the Apple TV because the little light flicks but nothing else happens. Anyone know how to fix this??

    My Apple TV suddenly stopped working. When I hit a button on the remote the light on the apple tv flickers but nothing else happens. Anyone know how I can fix this?

    I had the same problem; Apple TV was working proper then for no reason I got the continuous blinking front LED.  The Apple TV has no sound or video output at all.  I tried reseting the Apple TV via my Apple remote controller but that didn't do anything for me.  I finally called Apple and they told me that the way to fix my box is to reset the Apple TV to factory default.  So I had to attach the Apple TV to one of my Apple computers and launch iTunes.  Once iTunes was running it recognized my Apple TV and I clicked on the option to restore to factory default.  After the restore my Apple TV now works properly.  My final action on the Apple TV was to sign into my account and enter my password.

  • PDF Preview kicks out to Acrobat 7 and Body Pages goes blank

    Two problems, and I suspect they are related...
    I just purchased and installed Acrobat 7 Professional with Adobe Designer.
    FIRST--The PDF Preview in Designer automatically kicks the preview out to Acrobat 7 and does not preview in Designer. Why???
    SECOND--When I click back to Body Pages, for no reason after a little while the workspace goes blank (back to sheer white). It takes about 5 seconds for that to happen--and it happens inconsistently. It seems strange.
    Can anyone help???
    OS/ Windows XP sp2
    Gateway M675 with tons of power and RAM

    It's a rare thing indeed when you can answer your own posts.
    I did a "detect and repair" in Acrobat 7.0 Professional, which seemed to fix the problem.
    I had loaded Acrobat Reader 7 after the initial install of Acrobat 7.0 Professional, and am wondering if that didn't cause the problem somehow.
    Anyway, if anyone else has this problem, you might want to try the "detect and repair."
    Let's hope the problem is fixed for good. :-)

  • I can import some songs from another computer but not others.  All the songs were purchased with the same apple id. Message says "...check connection to network..." Any ideas as to what could be causing this problem?

    Using home share, I can import some songs from my son's  computer but not others.  All the songs were purchased with the same apple id.  Err msg:"There was a problem downloading ... You do not have enouggh access privileges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."  The network appears to be fine .  I can import other songs from his library.  The same songs cause me a problem each time I try.  My husband had no trouble importing the same songs I have trouble with. I get the same error message if I try to import the same songs from my husbands computer as well.  "Command I" appears to show the same protections on both the songs I can import & the ones I cannot.  My husband and son are both running OS 10.6, while I am running 10.7.  I think I had this problem even before I upgraded, but I am not certain.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions..
    My first suggestion is to Repair Disk. Here's how:
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
    Please post back and let me know how that goes.
    Here are a few links that may help you to identify the issues:

    Please don't hesitate to post back should you have further questions or comments, or with update.

    Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
    You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception.

  • How do i get an e-mail or coupon that does not print entirely on the page .moved to fit on the page

    How do I get an e-mail or couponthat does not fit entirely on the pqge moved tofit onthe page

    I Finally resolved my problem after much research. On my I pad 4 with retina in the field under settings there is a list to choose from-- ex. Aol,Google, yahoo, etc. I chose other and entered att. Used pw and bingo! Problem resolved. It is somewhat configured a little different; but at least I can get all of my 500 e mails.
    apple takes IMAP but this is under pop And at least my persistence paid off. You would think something so simple would be informative to us in a better way.

  • Set firefox to open pdf documents in adobe reader via script or GPO

    I am trying to change the settings of 400+ Windows 7 PCs with 2-10 users per PC. They all use Firefox and Adobe Reader XI. I would like to know how to use the Mozilla Administrative Template or how to create a GPO to change the default pdf viewer in Firefox to Reader XI. i need a way to be able to configure it so when a user logs into the PC via our domain login Firefox will be automatically configured to open PDF's from Firefox in an Adobe Reader window, otherwise we have to manually configure it and that gets very frustrating after the 2nd PC

  • HT1338 pdf attachments and excel spreadsheet attachments are opening as winmail.dat and the pages are blank when you open them.

    All of a sudden the e-mail attachments I send to my MacBook Pro from my PC Laptop open up as winmail.dat as a blank sheet of paper.   This only started happening within the last week. Before that everything was fine.  I check my PC and confirmed the attachments are set up to be sent in HTML.   Any suggestions?

    I am having the same issue.
    Luckily I have only migrated my own mailbox to office365.
    Tried both true and false TNEFEnabled on both onpremise and office365 via powershell and confirmed that both have been applied.
    If I send the email as a plain text then the attachment works ok. If I send it as HTML then I get winmail.dat.
    The above KB doesnt really help me, sending plain text emails is like going back to the dark ages!
    I am sending from outlook to outlook (I send from my external email address, to my work email address and visa-versa)
    If someone with an onpremise mailbox sends me an email, the attachment works ok.
    If someone sends me an attachment via hotmail, the attachment works ok.
    It seems to only effect emails I send to myself through outlook, i am sending it through a POP3 account to our onpremise exchange 2010 which forwards the email to office365

  • My Lightroom 5 brushes tool has stopped working.  You can select a brush but when you go to the picture the dot that shows it is being used does not come up and the photo does not change....

    I use the brush tool a lot...  When I use to use it I would select the brush then select the brush tool I wanted to use like Iris Enhance.  I then would go to the picture and click on the eye.  A dot would appear to show me I was using the tool.  Then I could edit... No dot appears now and nothing changes on the picture.. My assumption is something changed that needs to be changed back,,,,, PLEASE HELP!!

    ok now When I select a tool to use the brush with the dot shows up... When I highlight the area I want to adjust it shows pink... then when i hit done the pink goes away and no changes have been made....
