  • The acrobat reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a browser

    The subject says it all. I'm unable to open a link to a pdf file.
    I'm using Mozilla on a Win 2000 machine.
    Version 8.1.2 worked fine. I see some people have reverted back to this version. Is that the only fix?

    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
    Here's the simple solution:
    1. Open Adobe 9
    2. Select Help on main Toolbar
    3. Select "Repair Adobe Reader Installation"
    Yes, but make sure that all previous versions of Acrobat and Reader have been removed from your computer.
    I had on Vista Acrobat Reader 5 and 9 because sometimes was problem with printouts in duplex on Acrobat Reader version 7,8 and 9.
    You can have more then one version of adobe reader on your computer.
    I had to uninstall this Acrobat Reader 5 and select Repair Adobe Reader Installation on Adobe Reader 9.3.3 version.
    Success.

    Uninstall Reader. Use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Tool. They try re-installing Reader 9.2

    See if you can find a NPPDF32.DLL files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\)
    You can see the installed plugins on the about:plugins page.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aplugins
    You can set the pref plugin.expose_full_path to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
    It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
    You can open about:plugins and about:config via the location bar, like you open a website (about: is a special protocol to access some build-in pages).
    If you get a warning when opening the about:config page then you can confirm that you want to continue.

  • I keep getting calls, so I added that number to my list of calls to block.  It doesn't ring anymore, but I keep getting notification messages that say "Call back".  Why do I receive this when the call should be blocked?

    Okay, you are correct the call is not supposed to ring in. Have you done any troubleshooting on the phone? First off, try power cycling the phone. Turn the phone off, then back on again. If that does not work, then try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. See if that changes things. Is the caller using the exact number that you blocked, or is it possible they are using another number, or have restricted the Caller ID?

  • The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.OK. I followed the instruction and the problem still persists.

    I got the following pop-up when I tried to open an online PDF file:
    The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
    Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.
    I tried many time, and it really doesn't work.
    The plug-in I have is Adobe Acrobat 8.3.0.280

    After I upgraded to Firefox 5, I had the same problem and I did a work around temporarily. I went the tools menu, then Add-ons, then clicked the "Plugins" on the left side (4th one down). I "disabled" both Adobe Acrobat 8.3.0.280 and Adobe Acrobat 10.1.0.536 using the disable buttons on the right side. PDF files now open again. However they are outside the actual browser.
    My guess is that Adobe didn't catch up yet with a new update to work with Firefox or vice versa.
    Hope that helps!

  • Recently got a new computer and installed itunes from external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when i click on a song i receive this message "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found".  What do i do?

    I recently got a new computer and installed itunes from which had been saved onto an external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when I click on a song I receive this message "the song "abc" could not be used because the original file could not be found".  What can I do?

    I was given the option to locate the file where the song is held. If so select "locate" and direct it to the folder / file where the song is and open it. itunes then will give you the option to use this process to update all of your library. OK that as this will do it automatically instead of doing them one by one. I hope this helps.

    It appears that the iTunes and App Stores are having issues right now. Try again later or tomorrow.

  • HT5622 Why am I receiving this message 3 times a day?

    Why am I receiving this message 3 times a day? "To reset your Apple ID password, simply click the link below. That will take you to a web page where you can create a new password. " I haven't tried to rset my password but this message comes and comes...

    If there are questions about your password, like Thomas said, don't click on the random link, but go to the app store or iTunes on your computer and sign in and see if there are any issues.
    Anytime there's an e-mail from some source wanting your passwords, one good way to check it is to ignore their 'convenient' link and go directly to the site via another source and check things there.

  • I keep receiving this message "the disc was not ejected properly. if possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or turning it off"

    i keep receiving this message "the disc was not ejected properly. if    possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or turning it off"

    I had this problem too, where it seemed I couldn't go eight hours without the Duo drives dropping and getting the "disc was not ejected properly" error message.
    I tried the following and so far it seems to have fixed the problem:
    In System Preferences > EnergySaver, make sure the setting “Put hard disks to sleep when possible" is unchecked.
    I did this only on the Power Adaptor tab, but you might want to uncheck the setting on the Battery tab as well to be safe. (In my case, the Duo drives are unlikely to be attached when I’m running on battery, so I left the setting checked for the Battery tab so that the system can still power down the internal drive.)
    Since I made the above change ten days ago, the Duo disks have not dropped, even when I left the system on with the Duo disks connected for a couple of days.
    FYI I have the Duo set up with two RAID 1 sets spanning the two drives. I'm using Mavericks 10.9.4.

    this usually happens when a user moves or deletes files in the finder - a sure way to upset iTunes.
    did you move or delete files in the finder ?
    I cannot locate the song.
    if you let iTunes manage your library, all your content will be in <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music/iTunes/iTunes music (or media)/music. did you look there ? tried a spotlight search ?
    if the files are really gone, and have been purchased from the iTunes store, see Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • I received a message on my iPhone 4 that has a video attached to it. I "saved video" but don't know where. How do I find it and send it to mi MacBook Air?

    I received a message on my iPhone 4 that has a video attached to it. I "saved video" but don't know where. How do I find it and send it to mi MacBook Air?

    It would have saved to your camera roll.  Connect the phone to your Air via a USB cable and then run Image Capture which is located either in your Utilities folder or Other folder, depending on what version of Mac OS X your are running.  You will then see all the photos and videos stored on your iPhone and can then download them.
