"use pdf reader name" choice is not shown even after deleting "mimetypes.rdf" file

Multiple tabs open when attempting to open PDF files. Have updated Acrobat Reader to latest version X. Have followed trouble shooting instructions to select from drop-down menu the choice "use pdf reader name" (tools-options-application- Adobe). Followed the additional instruction to delete the "mimetypes.rdf" file if the "use pdf reader name" choice does not appear. Have deleted the file, and the "use pdf reader name" choice still does not appear. Can't open pdf files

Hi tulip,
I have changed the product because it seems that you are taking about the Firefox for Desktop Browser. If this is incorrect please post back with a correction.
I also understand that you are downloading songs, and instead of the save dialogue, you are being taken to a black page to play the song. Please see if this happens in Safe Mode, as well when you troubeshoot any default programs if you are using Windows.
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
Please try this:
# Right click on the sound file/link
# Select, Save Audio as
# Select the file to download it in and click save.
Please also see this for more troubleshooting steps. [[What to do if you can't download or save files]]

  • Lightroom 3 will not start, even after deleting the .LOCK file.

    I have read about deleting the .lock file and that did not work. I have restarted my computer and that did not work. I tried opening a backup catalog and that did not work. I delete the .lock .journal and the catalog and the resorted from the back up. It created a new cataloge but it still did not work.
    Any Ideas?
    All my software is updated. and was working before.
    MAC OS 10.6.8
    LR3         3.6
    Thanks All.

    Thanks for the help. However it did not work.
    I held the Option key and was able to create a catalog. I should explain LR3 tries to start. Then I get a message that LR3 unexpectedly quit. I am trying one more thing. I only had 15GBs of space on the HD. I am clearing more space to see if that works. I had updated the OS too.
    OS is Lion 10.7.3
    and LR3      3.6
    Thanks again for trying. If you think of anything else let me know.

  • Java option icon not displaying AND Java not working, even after deleting and re-installing Java

    Hi, I have uninstalled and re-installed Java. When I look at Add-ons, it shows Java Platform SE7 U17 10.17.2.2 and Java deployment Toolkit 7.0.17… 10.17.2.2 enabled. But it is not working – and I do not see the Firefox plugin to allow occasional use of Java.
    One useful thread which discusses several difficulties in detail is

    I tried to follow scrumpyjoe’s advice in this thread:
    “This fixed it for me (32 bit windows) after installing Version 7 Update 10, but not seeing the plugin:
    1) start regedit
    2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins
    3) right click, add New Key, name: @java.com/JavaPlugin,version=10.xx.xx
    4) click on it, then right click and add new string value, name: path
    5) right click, Modify, change value data to: C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\plugin2\npjp2.dll [check if this is the right dll for your setup]
    6) exit regedit
    7) start FF”
    - but (unless I have made a mistake) it has not resolved my problem.
    What can I try next, please ?

    I have now unistalled and re-installed Firefox 20.0. restored preferences etc. using MozBackup, and Java Platform and Java Toolkit10.17.2.2. both show as working Add-ons - BUT STILL NO JAVA AND STILL NO RED ICON IN TOOLBAR. What is going on, please ?

    I don't understand any of these replies. How do I get Java to run for Pogo.com? I had no problems a week ago. I do not have the red icon. I am not a programer so keep it simple. I am a 59 year old speech therapist.

  • My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. What should I do?

    My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. I believe there may be a problem with the battery or the backlight. I've had my screen replaced once by some stooges. What should I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it  says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                  
    RecBoot tip
    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Permissions will not set, even after using terminal commands?

    Hey,
    I found a thread on here for using the terminal to type in commands for the user permissions and for the PSIX permissions on Leopard (10.5) server.  These commands are supposed to clean the server of all underlying(hidden) permissions that you cant see and then you are supposed to be able to then set the permissions again and finally, to hit "Propagate Permissions" so that all the permissions set for the shared volume then get farmed out to all sub files/folders.  This did not work when I tried it in the terminal, it said "Command not found" even after I typed in the admin password.  Is there anyone out there who can tell me the actual way to fix the old permissions and get new ones set?
    The story is:  We had an old server on a G4 when i first took control of the server, I took the shared hard drive out of the G4 and inserted it into a G5 and started using it with the leopard server.  the permissions did not really need to be set on that volume because they had carried over from the last time they were shared.  But we recently just got a Drobo unit for our server and I recently transferred all the shared files and folders over to the new volume, but ever since I cant get the permissions to farm out to all the stations, it shows me that its done on the server.  But when I go to access the files I am able to delete faculty folders where I had set the permissions to "read only" so I am wondering if there is a streamlined way of going about this or if I should just start from scratch and use all brand new HDD's?
    Please Help!

    I think that you have turned on VoiceOver. To turn it off, enter settings, general, accessibility and turn off VoiceOver.

  • Camera roll not reducing size after deleting photos

    My camera roll stays the same size even after deleting 600 photos - I'm trying to still keep the roll included in my iCloud backup but had to size it down because the backups were too large and stopped without upgrading my storage. Why is this happening?

    PhotoStream does not use up your iCloud storage.
    Transfer your photos to your computer.  Then delete them from the iPhone.
    What steps are you having issues with?

    Hello: Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Could you specify the Mac OS X version and also what computer you
    are using it on, with some detail? Some of these kinds of issues, while
    they may seem the same across various years of OS X, can have
    different causes and also different cures.
    With that information, someone may be capable of researching a reply
    most suited to try & see if it works in your computer + OS X system.
    One idea, which may/may not help, would be to start the computer
    from its most recent OS X DVD install disc, unless it has OS X 10.7
    or Later, where there is a Recovery partition on the HDD to boot from.
    Then use Disk Utility> repair disk, while there, also repair permissions.
    Thanks.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options.

    Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options. I was able to select the account under "parental controls", but again, could not delete it. Why Apple? Why?!!????

    SOLVED Ok. I actually was able to disable it. I had to actually log in as the guest user to make it accessible in the preference window. Then I disabled it and logged out. Apologies if this was obvious for some people, but I have had some sort of issue with something every update since Snow Leopard.

    How does a usb keyboard attached externally work?
    You might try a "hard reset" where you remove battery and AC charger, hold down power button 20-30 seconds and then reassemble and turn on. Reset BIOS (F10) to default settings, too.
