Why does Adobe say Mozilla doesn't allow download of "Reader"?

While trying to install Adobe Products (Reader), the installation screen instructs that if you use Mozilla, then you must read the installation instructions. Pressing the "button" does not take you to the installation instructions. However, I've had input that Adobe support says Mozilla has trouble with registering Adobe files.
Irrespective of the problem that may exist between your companys' software, the Federal Government uses Adobe almost exclusively for their document downloading, and "filling in" on-line. If they are correct, then I must go back to I.E., if I am to continue interfacing with Government sites.
Please help me. I'm trying to get rid of Microsoft, not go back to them.

Generally I don't know of any problems using Adobe Reader with Firefox - mine works just fine, and both install from the web (via the Adobe DLM) and offline installation (downloading the complete installer) works just fine.
When you go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/ you should end up on the Adobe Reader download page.
Disable the McAfee Security Scan offered below, and click the Download button.
You should now end up on the "Thank you"-page and get a yellow line at the very top of the browser asking if you want to allow Adobe to install the DLM online-installer system. Here you can click the "Allow" button to start installation of the DLM, which in turn should start downloading the Reader installation.
If you don't get this box, some security software (I see you have Norton) could be preventing it from showing up at all.
Or, you should be able to get around the problem on that "Thank you"-page by clicking the link in the 2nd line of the text - it says something like "If the download does not start, click here to download" of which the last part of the line is a link to the complete Adobe Reader (offline) installation package.
Download this and run the file, that should install Adobe Reader 9.2 with full integration in Firefox.
When the installation is complete (and your system may need to be restarted after this), please remember also to start the Adobe Reader from the new icon on your desktop (or from Start menu), and go to menu "Help" -> "Check for updates" to get the latest updates installed - current fully updated version is 9.3.2, but Adobe does not offer the fully updated version as a complete download.
As an alternative, you could also install and use the [http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ Foxit Reader] - this also works very well for most PDF-files and online PDF forms. It has the advantage of being much smaller, faster, and somewhat safer as it's not as widely used as Adobe Reader. The disadvantage is that it may not support every single type of PDF file, althou I have yet to meet a file it couldn't handle.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues.

HT4621 Why does it say max RAM is 16gb when i read people with same computer putting 32gb?

I have seen this computer register up to 32gb of ram (8gb in each slot of 4) so why does Apple say 16gb max ram?

Apple only tests memory in configurations that were available at the time they designed a particular model. 32 GB will work fine in your Mid - 2011 iMac. Just be sure to purchase it from a vendor known to support Macs. At present there are only two that I have personally used and can recommend, Crucial and OWC / MacSales.

Why does Adobe say to close Safari when i have nothing open?

I'm trying to update Adobe Flash Player on my Mac and it's almost done downloading but it says "please close the following programs to continue" and says Safari under that. I don't have anything open (except just now 'cause I have a question) so I don't get why it's saying to close it.

It's not enough to close the Safari window, you need to quit the Safari process.

Why does PD says model doesn't exist in repository, when trying to check in

Hi
I have a checked out a PDM to my local directory. I have made some changes and checked the model back into repository successfully. Next day I had to make one more change to my local copy which i did (without doing an explicit checkout) now When i try to check it back in again, PD says model does not exist? Is it a must that we always have to checkout before making a change ?
attached are the screen shots of my local directory and from the repository. How does PD determine whether or not a model exist in repository?
thank you
Krishna

When a model exists in the repository, the model's metadata holds the unique identifier given to it by the repository; e.g. A89B0620-0379-482B-83C8-88B346BBF471.
If your model is in a project, you can display the 'repository identifier' on model symbols in project diagrams, also in List Reports that contain models.
A quick way of verifying that a model is in the repository is to look at the general tab on the model properties - it should have a 'repository' field alongside the 'version' field.
When you check in the model, it uses this identifier to find the model in the repository. I have seen cases (in 16.5.0) where the checked-out model didn't have this identifier in the header information (visible if you open the model file in an XML editor - do NOT edit it), so it's listed as 'not in repository'.

I am trying to install CS 5.5 master and I have mac 10.7. Why does it say my machine doesn't meet minimum requirements?

What processor are you using? Which Mac are you installing this on? How much memory do you have installed? You can find the system requirements listed at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-master-collection.ht ml#main_CS5_Master_Collection_system_requirements. You will want to make sure that you meet or exceed each of these requirements.

Why does Adobe email me to say I have been removed from my CC membership (because licence was not renewed) BUT Adobe does not have the common sense to tell me my membership is DUE for renewal – so I could have renewed it – BEFORE I was cancelled.

Why does it say "unsupported language/platform" when I try to download Acrobat Standard? I have the latest updates of IE and Google Chrome and have tired both.

The message doesn't mention IE or Chrome - it mentions language/platform.
So...what is the language of your system?
And what is your platform - by which we mean for example Windows Vista or Mac OS Lion.

Why does facebook say adobe flash is not installed

why does facebook say adobe flash is not installed when it is - windows 7 IE11????

Unless you're on a company computer and locked down to prevent using anythng else, I'd recommend you drop Microsoft's pathetic excuse for a browser and download Firefox.
Then install the Flash Player Plug-in (For other browsers), and free yourself from the chains of the guys in Redmond, WA who can only seem to get things right 50% of the time.

Why does itunes say the entry point is not found

why does itunes say it didn't install correctly and to reinstall?

Greg, did the "Patchburn" really work for you?
I had the same problem today. I have a smart playlist made up of: Kind>is>Protected AAC audio file. This smart play list allows me to keep track of music I've downloaded from the iTMS after inadvertently deleting the Purchased Music default playlist. Yes, I know a new “Purchased Music” playlist is created when you buy music again, but it doesn’t contain any of the songs you’ve already downloaded.
When I went to burn this playlist (several hundred songs) to multiple audio CD format - I go the same result you got.
"After asking to burn a play list it asks to insert CD, checks the media, checks the play list and then stops with the apple icon reappearing and NO error message."
Apple tech support couldn’t help me - I found that out the hard way - after 1.5 hours on the phone. No, I haven't exceeded the 7 time burn limit either.
I tried selecting all the songs in the smart playlist and creating a new [regular] playlist and tried to burn from that, but got the same result.
Finally, I tried typing "Protected AAC audio file" from my main library in the search window, selected all the songs that resulted, created a new [regular] playlist from that selection and the burn was successful.
It was a real pain and took almost 3 hours to figure out, but it worked. I'm going to try the "Patchburn" download talked about earlier, but don't know if that's the real problem.
Yes, I have upgraded my SuperDrive, but iTunes recognizes it - Preferences>Advanced>Burning - if your drive shows up here then that's not the problem. Besides, I had the same problem when trying to burn to the original SuperDrive too.
I think the problem may be deeper inside iTunes itself. Duh! Maybe something with Apple tightening their DRM scheme which may make us unwitting beta testers to see if they tightened the noose too tight or not. Just a guess.
Any thoughts, anyone?

In the home page why does Firefox say I haven't upgraded when I have. This has been going on for over three weeks, I am now on 9 and still it says I have not upgraded.

In the home page why does Firefox say I haven't upgraded when I have. So I upgrade again and still it says I haven't next time I log on. Today I upgraded to 9, it said congratulations on upgrading, I log off then log back on only to be told yet again I need to upgrade. What is going on?

Why does Adobe sendnow work and the newest and greatest Adobe Send does not work?

Why does Adobe sendnow work and the newest and greatest Adobe Send does not work? I wasted about 8 hours on trying to get Adobe Send to upload 269 files that amounted to 469MB. When it did not work I made a zip file and after a lot of wasted run time that did not work. The first situation gives little indication of when a file is loaded compared to Adobe SendNow. In both cases with Send it failed with a message like only the first 50 can be loaded. When I went and looked none of them had been loaded. With the zip file (I wanted to hide the individual files so they would not be counted) it appeared to work but very slowly and finally said it was done and I went and looked and it had done anything for oever 2 hours except a false "I'm runninng" indication.
Thus, I took a chance with Adobe SendNow and it works great. It never gave me a limit on the amount of files nor on the size of the complete job. It shows me one file at a time when it has finished with the file uploading it. SendNow has never given me any problems.
Why woiuld you want to change the program from SendNow to Send without the newest program being the best, fastest, user friendly program of the two? It just doesn't make sense to me. I suggest that Adobe keep SendNow working until Send is fixed. I would also suggest that SendNow and how it looks be kept, called Send, then modify Send one thing at a time until you get it to the point you need it to be for Acrobat. I have heard nothing good and now I have experienced it that Send is a piece of junk. I wasted most of my work day on giving Adobe the benefit of the doubt to find out I made a very bad decision to trust Adobe to make good decisions on the transfer of a function to another place .... both Adobe's responsibility.without making it painless for your customers that totally rely on you. Don't throw away customer confidence as it is very hard to get it back.

Funny how you answer to "troll". (What's your handle on AT&T forums?)
Yep! Verizon living up to it's contractual obligations by not releasing updates. Caveat emptor!
I think there are some reasonable expectations here to keep customer's happy. When one carrier offers upgrades there is an expectation the same will happen across all the carriers. We have seen that except Big Red.
Verizon could have said the update is in MS court months ago and stilled the voice of the disgruntled, or at least redirected it, but instead chose to be silent. Not for market share but for partial blame I think.
We will have to agree to disagree since you only see Terms & Conditions and I, see customer satisfaction.

You may be in an area where Rogers doesn't yet have 4G. If so, the iPad will drop back to 3G and will display that to let you know you're running on the older network.
