When trying to download a pdf file, it just hangs and locks up my computer causing me to power down. How do I fix this?

Whenever I try to download a pdf file, Firefox hangs and my only recourse is to power down and power up again. I have to use IE to get the pdf I am after.

You have two PDF "reader" plugins installed. Try disabling one of them. Tools > Addons > Plugins

Getting Server Busy window when trying to download a .pdf file from any web site.

When the "Server Busy" window opens, there are 3 choices: switch to; retry; cancel. I select switch to; it starts downloading the file, but appears to be stuck/locked up at a certain point. I usually have to go to Task Manager and cancel the download. Sometimes, after trying different things, the .pdf succeeds in downloading' can't tell what does/doesn't work. Retry doesn't do anything. Cancel doesn't close the Server Busy window.

I'm getting an error message when trying to download a PDF file.

Its says that 'FoxitReaderOCX.ocx failed to load'? What do I need to do. I've reloaded both Adobe Reader and FoxitReader. I can tell from the status bar that FF is trying to transfer information, and the screen goes black as if waiting for info to complete it, but after a bit I get the error message again.
I have a question on this to the vendor (Corel) and expect an answer as they are usually good with customer service issues.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try disabling the Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.4.1" and make sure FoxIt is set to handle PDF files.

When I try to open a file with adobe Bridge it will say that the parent application is not active, how can I fix this??

When I try to open a file with Bridge the following message appears:
I already re-installed PS CC and I can open the files trough Photoshop CC but not through bridge.Any advice please??

BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,

When trying to open an external link like updating a program firefox says its already running but is not responding how do I fix this?

Basically when I try to update Ccleaner or any other program tries to open a link it shows this error message. Like when I try to start BF3 from origin It shows the error message so I have to open battlelog by typing it into the browser. I dont recall me having this issue on my windows 7 64 bit laptop, but on my windows 7 32 bit desktop I have the problem. Any and all help is appreciated.

Make sure that you do not start Firefox with the -no-remote switch or have set the environment variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 (Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables).

When trying to sync photos from my PC only a few of the photos end up on my ipad. How can I fix this?

I am having trouble syncing photos from my PC, only a few end up on my ipad. Does anyone know how to manage this?

Are you sure that you have selected the photos to sync to the iPad? You must include all of your photos in one main syncing folder in each subsequent sync as well or the previously synced photos will be erased.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Select the photos folder that you want to use in the Sync Photos From heading
Click on any or all of the sub folders within that main folder that you want to sync to the iPad
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"

I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read". I am able to open pdf files in IE and other programs.

I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data.

I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working. But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures. Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.

When trying to convert a pdf file into a word doc, i only get the graphics but not the text. How do i remedy this?

When trying to convert a pdf file into a word doc I only get graphics but no text. What to do?

Hey hamsa142,
I think you are converting a scanned PDF to word.
You might need to run OCR first to make the text recognizable and then convert it to word.

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

A blank page comes up when trying to download the .torrent file(s). Previously it was working.

Using firefox browser v.4.0.1, a blank page comes up when trying to download the .torrent file(s). Previously it was working. When the "Download" button was pressed, it used to ask for the location where the .torrent files is to be saved. But now on pressing the "Download" button, a blank page comes up.I do not know when the firefox browser was updated to 4.0.1. (as it is configured to automatically update itself). I tried to see the debugging information in "Java Console", "Error Console", "Web Console", "Page Info" under the Tools option, but I can't make sense out of it. Kindly help.

If you remove the mimeTypes.rdf file then all current download actions should be removed and Firefox should ask what to do. 
You can still check if there is an action for such files in Tools > Options > Applications
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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 wanting to download a PDF file from a site, when cliicking on the link, Firefox 3.6.13 goes to a blank page. Previous versions worked perfectly. How do I fix this please?

Since no window shows up asking where to download, etc as happens in other browsers (Opera) and in previous versions of Firefox, no able to click on a web site link to download a PDF file. Just goes to a blank page.

Some firewalls like Kaspersky can block content and send a 1x1 GIF image instead.
