When opening a PDF file quicktime opens it instead of preview, how do I get preview back

Quick Time now opens my PDF files instead of Preview How can I get Preview to open them up?

Do a Get Info on one of the PDF files - select the file (click it once), then press Command-I (Get Info in the File menu).
In the Get Info window, about half-way down is an item "Open with:" - set the pulldown menu in that section to "Preview".
If you want to make that change to all PDFs, then click the "Change All..." button.

Your 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.

I accidentally made my "File, Edit, Favorites, etc" toolbar disappear. How do I get it back?

I accidentally made my "File, Edit, Favorites" etc. toolbar disappear. How do I get it back?

In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu on a toolbar.
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

Synch your contacts back from whichever program on your computer you've stored them in (Outlook, Address Book) or from your cloud service.
Not using your phone as indended and didn't have your contacts on your computer or with a cloud service? Then they're gone.

F9. Some documents hide the menu bar deliberately, or you could have hit F9 by accident.

TS4036 I have a Macbook pro and I'm trying to set up my ICloud on it, and when I go to Preferences, there is NO ICloud there. How can I get ICloud back into "my preferences" to set it up?

I have a MacBook Pro, its 1 year old. I'm trying to set up my ICloud on it, and when I go to "preferences", (it says to go to "Preferences" in the instructions,) and then "click" on "ICloud", but my ICloud is not there. How can I get "ICloud back into "my preferences".

Welcome to the Apple Community.
This suggests you don't have the right operating system. OS X 10.7.2 or better is required for iCloud, which operating system do you have.

Use Settings > General > Keyboard > Predictive and turn this ON.
If it is ON drag up on the top center of the keyboard (where a small line appears) to reveal the predictive panel.

When I open a pdf file, Firefox opens a blank window, then the file opens in a Adobe Reader window. How can I stop the blank window?

Whether I am using Firefox 3.6.8 or Thunderbird 3.0.6, clicking on a pdf file opens a new window. After a few seconds the pdf file opens in a separate Adobe Reader window. When I am done with that and close it, I still have to go back and close out the blank window. Got to be a configuration issue some place. I have tried several settings under Tools/Options, but haven't found the right setting yet. Any suggestions?

Thank you very much for the reply. I followed your instructions. This fixed half of the problem. Links to pdf files that are on web pages now come up with a box that asks if I want to open or save the file, without a blank browser window in the background. That is great.
When I tested the fix with pdf file links in email, the problem still exists. I tested links in Outlook Express, Yahoo mail, and Gmail. Any time I click on a pdf link in an email, a blank Firefox window opens and then I get the small window that asks me if I want to open or save the file. Sounds like this is a configuration issue, not a technical problem. Thanks for your help.

How do I open a PDF file in my browser instead of in Adobe Reader?

Windows XP SP3
Adobe Reader 11.0.3
SeaMonkey 2.19 (which has the same internal "guts" as Firefox 22)
It used to be that, if I selected a link to a PDF file from a Web page, the file would open in my browser. Now, it opens in an Adobe Reader window. How do I restore the opening in my browser.
I have tried following http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them?s=Vie w+PDFs+in+browser&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_using-a-pdf-reader-plugin without success. I noticed during those attempts that, if I go to [Edit - Preferences] on the Adobe Reader menu bar and then select Internet under Categories, the "Display PDF in browser" check box no longer exists.

Aha! The properties for the plugin file nppdf32.dll for Adobe Reader indicate the file is for Adobe Acrobat. This misidentification is then used by SeaMonkey as a label in the helper application list.
Adobe Reader 11.0.3.37: nppdf32.dll has version 11.0.3.37. This is the version in SeaMonkey's plugins folder.
Adobe Acrobat 7.0.8.218: nppdf32.dll has version 7.0.9.50.
As for having both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat on the same PC, this generally works providing Reader is installed AFTER Acrobat. Reader is freeware, and I want to keep it current. Acrobat is purchaseware, and I cannot afford to keep buying upgrades or newer versions.

Opening a pdf file automatically opens last 13 pdf files viewed

I use Adobe Acrobat a lot and for some reason, I opened a pdf document yesterday and the last 13 files I viewed automatically opened. I rebooted my computer and it still does the same thing.
Does anyone know how to switch off this automation?
Appreciate anyone's feedback.
Sincerely,
dd1atslb

Do a Get Info on one of the PDF files - select the file (click it once), then press Command-I (Get Info in the File menu).

I have many PDF files in iBooks for iPad 2. How can I get those files to sync with iPhone 5?

I Have many categories of my work brochures stored in PDF format in iBooks. iPad 2 running iOS 6. I'd like to be able to view those same PDF files on my iPhone 5. Is this possible to do over the iCloud ?
i Cannot do it via iTunes because my MacBook is 10.5.8 and apparently is not capable of getting iTunes 10.7

When I don't have my computer available, I do this by emailing the PDF to myself then open it from whichever device I need (open in iBooks)
