When ever i try to open a PDF file while on a Firefox browser an endless supply of empty tabs keep poping up, to the poit that i have to restart the computer. What should i do?
This is very annoying because the only way i can read PDF files is on a whole different computer, this makes doing school work very irritating.
This link should help you fix this - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+keeps+opening+many+tabs+or+windows

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Macs use OS X, which is an operating system different than Windows. EXE files are designed to work in Windows, so it's normal that you can't run them.
If it's a program, you can try an application like CrossOver that allows you to install Windows applications in OS X. However, note that it doesn't always work correctly, so the best option is to run Windows in your Mac.
To decide if you need Windows on Boot Camp or virtual machine, see > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321
If you need a virtual machine, install an application like Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and create a virtual machine to install Windows.
If you need Boot Camp, first see which operating systems you can install > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5634 Then, open Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) and follow its steps. Follow Apple's steps > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf -
Each time I try to open a PDF file from any website, Firefox (3.6.10) crashes. No error messages--just closes abruptly. For add-ons, I've got Personas 1.6.1, United States English Dictionary 1.0.0, and WOT. I've got the Adobe Reader 9 and Foxit 3.3.1.0518. The crashes of Firefox occur with both PDF readers. I did go through the posted solutions for PFD related crashes in the FAQ section but those steps did not resolve the problem.
Does that only happen if you open the PDF files in the browser or also if you open the PDF files in the standalone program by disabling the plugin?

I am using a Windows 7 laptop, 64 bit. When ever I try to open iTunes, it immediately freezes and says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling, and also going back to previous versions. Any ideas as to how to fix this? Thanks!!
You need to remove all installer file, uninstall iTunes and all related programs, then do a clean install.
Try the following steps:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch -

Something is definitely wrong with your install of Reader.
A PDF consists of only the number of pages it was created with. Reader can and will only open those pages... IF it's installed and working properly.
Opening multiple blank pages from a document which contains none is a clear sign that the software isn't functioning. It's like putting a movie into a DVD player, and your TV starts a picture slide show of your last Summer's vacation. Not possible unless there's something seriously wrong.
Uninstall Reader 9.
Use either Adobe's clean uninstaller or Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2. exe) to remove all Reader installer files from your system.
Reinstall Reader 9 from a new download (do not use the old one if you still have it on your system)

ThanksYour file association is corrupted; reinstalling or repairing Adobe Reader will likely fix it.
If you want to fix it manually, tell us your operating system & version. -
When I try to open a PDF file the reader flashes on the screen then closes
When I try to open a PDF file the reader flashes on the screen then closes. I have to open the reader, then search for the pdf file through the reader. I'm using Adobe Reader 11.0.5 with windows 7 service pack 1 home premium. Is there any way I can just click on a PDF file and the reader automaticaly opens? I purchased the upgrade so I can convert PDF to Word but it didnt make any difference.
Some things to try...
Update Reader to version 11.0.06
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html -
When I try to open a pdf file I get an error message stating "There was an error opening the document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Other pdf files open fine.
You need to get a new copy of the PDF.

When I try to open a pdf file I get the message: "The file is damaged and could not be repaired." I've downloaded the latest reader, but that has made no difference. I use a Mac 10.8.2. Any suggestions or info?
Does this happen with every PDF file or a specific one ? Maybe the file is really damaged.

I have installed the iPhoto Library upgrade, which confirms it was successfully installed, however when ever I try to open iPhoto 11, it refers me back to the bloody library upgrade again, so I can't use iPhoto any more.
Thanks, it worked first time that I double clicked as you suggested.
Why do Apple make it so hard to upgrade some programs? They could make the follow through instructions a lot clearer.
Now I have it open- it works and..................... it does look pretty neat. -

Why do I keep getting a pop-up window that says install Java when I try to open a pdf file?
(You can take screenshots of the windows in your computer using Alt+PrintScreen... No need to use a camera)
This is quite odd. Where did you get the Reader installer from? I would suggest uninstalling it and then downloading the installer from Adobe (here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/ ) and re-installing it.
