Unable to open a pdf after downloading new version

I downloaded Adobe Reader version 11.0.04 for Mac 10.7.5.  When a pdf is opened from the web, I can view but the print preview is blank and I can't print.  When I save the pdf from the web and try to open the file, I get an error message "The file [file name].pdf could not be opened.  It may be damaged or use a file format that preview doesn't recognize."  Please help!  Thanks.

Dear LivingDaDream:
I got things to work for me.  This is what I did.  Open your browser, Google or Internet Explorer.  Under tools go to Options.  Select the Program tab.  Select "Set program as a file type or protocol with a program".  Scroll down and find the pdf file type on the left.  Then click the "Choose Program" bottom.  Choose Adobe Reader.  Then close.  That's it! 
Let me know if it works for you.   Doctorwink

    after downloading new version of Firefox 4 I am unable to use touch pad for scrolling. I have tried installing and uninstalling the new version but this problem has always been occuring. I do not know how to fix this problem so I always return to the old version.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Problems opening some PDF's with new version of Adobe Reader X

    Ever since the latest update for adobe reader has come out I have been unable to open some PDF's. This was never an issue with the older version. When I try to open certain PDF's the reader says "Not Responding" and nothing happens. This does not happen on all PDF's, just some.

    Ditto on Darrenz16's problem.  New WIN7-64 Home Premiun system with Adobe Reader 10.1.2.  Reads several files, then starts locking up when I try opening new files.  Seems like Reader is failing to release some resource and eventually running out of whatever it is.  Rebooting seems to help temporarily.  Never had this problem on previous systems.  A set of good examples are the .pdf files at the bottom of this page:  http://www.hussman.net/weeklyMarketComment.html
    I can open a few, but then Reader locks up trying to download the files.

  • I am getting a default message when trying to open up itunes after downloading old version. why?

    I have downloaded an old version of itunes (9.2.1) because i cannot stand the new version 11. At the end of downloading it, i tried to open it up and a yellow triangle fault popped up and told me it could not be opened because a new version created it. I have tried to download 3 old versions this afternoon. I have an old version on my computer still and I love it. I am trying to put an old, very user friendly version on my girlfriend's computer, but am having severe issues in doing so. Please advise!

    See this post. To roll back to iTunes 9.2.1 you'll need a version of your database that was active back then. Alternatively you could delete the library file and let iTunes build a new one.

  • Safari Will Not Work Even After Downloading New Version

    Several months ago I experienced a brief power outage and since then Safari has not worked. At All. I have downloaded Safari twice directly from the Apple site and still no luck. THe Software Restore disks with my original OSX package do not seem to work. Any suggestions?
    Been using Firefox but there are some things I prefer about Safari (bookmarks and they way they are handled).

    I clicked on a link in my email this morning and safari opened and then it opened 73 other tabs (I think all my bookmarks). I closed it and when I reopened I get the title bar and beachball not a new page. Activity monitor shows it is using 100% cpu. If I open safari from a link in email it opens normally. I downloaded and installed the latest (same) version from apple, same story. Thank god firefox still works ok. Any ideas? James.

  • Flash Player not working after downloading new version

    I downloaded Flash Player 10 and it does not work.I am using Windows XP and Internet Explorer. I have tried the trouble shooting. I have made sure its enabled under Active X and it does not work at all now. I have tried to download Flash Player 9 and now that will not download. I regularly use site that require Flash and I am shut down until I can figure out what is wrong. Please help.

    I have the same issue after I was prompted yesterday to upgrade my Flash player. With the new version, 2/3 of Flash pages do not work. But 1/3 do work !
    Example of page that does not work with new version of Flash :
    http://www.youtube.com/  (the whole site)
    http://www.adobe.com/fr/products/flashplayer/  (Adobe's official Flash page !)
    Example of page that does work with new version of Flash :
    http://www.voleursdechevaux.be/page_flash.html
    On first glance, I would say that Flash loaded through JavaScript fails. Only Flash embedded through HTML works. But I am not competent enough to discover why.
    Here is my current configuration (the version test at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html works well) :
    Player Version : WIN 10.0.22.87
    Debug Player : no
    Operating System : Vista
    Browser : Internet Explorer 8
    Locale : French

  • Unable to open firefox 4 after download. Getting already running or not responding window.

    Firefox 4 was working well at first and then would continually freeze. Now after uninstalling and reinstalling several times, including manually, I can not open firefox at all. I keep getting the "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." window. I have restarted my computer and looked on task manager and there is no firefox process running.
    Please help, thank you.

  • After downloading new version of firefox, i didn't like it and attempted to restore my system to a previous time and version of firefox. Now firefox won't open, even the old version isn't there anymore.

    I want to get firefox back, keeping all of the bookmarks.

    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    *Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Just of late, Firefox will not open, have tried to uninstall, but it tells me I have to shut Firefox but it is not open! same problem downloading new version

    Wherever I find Firefox on my computer, it will not open. i cannot get beyond the icon or the file. Clicking on them gets no result.
    If I try to uninstall and download again, it tells me it cannot proceed in either case until I close Firefox. But it will not close. So I am totally stuck. It worked well up to about a fortnight ago.

    hello xennophon, does the following help article contain a solution for your problem?: [["Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message - How to fix it]]
    in some cases this error at startup might also be a symptom of malware active on the pc. please do a full scan of your system with your security software already in place and/or an alternative like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ free version of malwarebytes].

  • Did bug fix for add-ons after downloading new version. FB games do not work & add-ons still gone. I want the old version back. How can I do this?

    Downloaded version 7 today. All add-ons are gone, not disabled, but gone. The bug fix offered in this instance tells me to go look for updates. I have, and I'm totally up to date, so now I don't know what to do. The add-ons are still gone, and my games in FB are also malfunctioning. I click on a button in the game and nothing happens. I can't even play them like this. I have playing all morning, and this only happened AFTER I updated to the latest Firefox browser 7. I want the old version back, but cannot figure out a way to do this. I am mad right now and want the option to go back to the old version. If I can't get it, I guess I'll go back to IE. Thanks....

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • When trying to open Firefox on XP laptop, says FFx 3+ needed; won't open, so can't download new version.

    This is being written on my iMac. Problem computer is my Toshiba XP laptop on the same (hard-wire) line via a router. The iMac is up to date; the iMac is used for all current Internet activity. I use the laptop for technical work, and only rarely need Internet.
    I have an old version of Firefox (<3) on the laptop. Updated the Java plug-in on the laptop a month ago. Now, every time I try to open Firefox, I get error "Needs Firefox >3 to open", and won't open Firefox. So I can't download Firefox >3! Can I buy a disk?

    hello scoop, since these symptoms can sometimes be caused by malware active on a system, please first run a scan with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx microsoft safety scanner].
