What the hell i can not download anything because of my adobe reader

this is what it keeps showing me no matter what i download, what the hell is going on?(Adobe Reader could not open ').exe' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). I am going right thru the website trying to download this ???????????????????????????? I am running a mac os x 10.5 pc & adobe reader 9  I have no idea what i am doing wrong someone anyone please HELP

Probably you need to check your file associations. Probably mistakenly .exe file is associated with Adobe Reader which is meant to open only PDF files and not an .exe. Thus when you download an .exe, due to its association to Adobe Reader, it tries to open it and throws that message. Just search on the net and you will find how to change file associations on MAC.

  • The last apple ID used on my App Store is stuck how do I change back to my apple ID? I can't download anything because its not asking for my apple ID and password, help?

    help, the last apple ID used to download in my ipad2 is stuck, I can't download anything because its not asking for my apple ID and password, how do I change it back to mine?

    Again, this only affects you if someone *redownloaded* content with a different ID. In my case, I emailed iTunes Store support, explained the situation, and they reset the counter.  I recommend you try the same
    If you read discussion boards, this is a significant change from a year ago, when Apple told people in the same situation to go f&$# themselves.  Clearly it's dawning on them that this is a stupid policy, and my guess is if people keep complaining they'll change it to something more reasonable.  Remember, it wasn't that long ago you couldn't re-download content at all.
    Apple can't really afford to play hardball on this. Sure, the hardcore fanboys will always say "Thank you sir, may I have another" whatever Apple throws at them,  but the rest of us will just switch to Amazon, which has none of these restrictions.

    I can not empty my trash and my MacBook Pro can not save anything because there is no space left".No room available error."what can I do? I also have Windows 7 on  my Mac.

    If it were me, I'd get a new hard drive or SSD and put it in an external enclosure. Boot into the recovery partition, format the new drive (not the old one) and install the OS to it. Shut down the Mac, open it up, and swap the drives. You may be able to read your data from the old one externally if you're lucky. If you're very lucky you may be able to use Migration Assistant to move all your stuff to the new drive.
    Look at ifixit.com for the exact procedure to get to the drive on your model. If it's a unibody it's pretty simple.

  • Where can i download a older version of adobe reader

    where can i download a older version of adobe reader (version 9)

    9.0 is Reader 9.0. When you open this folder, it has different folders with the respective languages.
    For US English go to the folder 'enu'
    9.5.5 is the latest patch for Reader 9.0
    You need to install the patches in a sequence as specified in the KB: Update, patch | Acrobat, Reader 7.x - 9.x | Windows

  • I did the latest download for my iPad and now I can not download anything from the App Store or iTunes.  Please advice how I can fix this problem?

    I downloaded the last update on my iPad and now I can not  download from the apple store or iTunes.  I just sits there and continues to act like it will but nothing happens.  And then it times out and goes back to home screen.  Have  a 32 so have have plenty of room.
    What would you advice I do?  I purchased this iPad in dec 2013.

    Double tap your home button to bring up the most recently used apps.
    You'll see the app icon below and a screen shot of the app page above.
    With your finger swipe the app page above the app icon upwards to fully close the apps (you should do this regularly).
    Now, reboot your iPad.  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.  You won't lose any data or settings.
    When your iPad comes back up, see if you can download again.

  • Can not download ANYTHING from my apps on my iPod Touch, application Not compatible this application requires the iPhone 3.0 software update. Why? It's an touch not a phone

    After restoring my iPod touch I am unable to download anything from itunes and my app. Keeps telling me to down load iPhone 3.0 update. Why if it's an touch not an iPhone?

    I sounds like you have the first generation (1G) iPod Touch with an iOS earlier than 2.0,  Yu can identify your ipod here:
    Identifying iPod models
    You can identify your iOS version by going to Settings>General>About and look by Version.  Yu can update ti iOS 3.1.3 (the lated for the 1G) by this link.  It is a paid update.  You may have to try another browser to get he sublink to work correctly.

  • I can not download anything using Firefox 3.6.9

    Whenever I try to download something from any site on the web it will not let me download.
    I can download from Internet Explorer

    Hello Lucie.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.
