Why will Adobe Acrobat not load PDF from my work website, but will load on other computers?

Why will Adobe Acrobat not load PDF from my work website, but will load on other computers? I have to log in to a website to get our orders, and we thought it was the website at first, but have since realized it is just my computer with this issue. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software and still it does not work.

You ask "why", but don't provide any information...
What is your operating system?
What is your web browser?
Are you asking about Adobe Reader or Acrobat?
What is your Reader / Acrobat version?
What exactly means "will not load"?

Sharing isn't working across a network

I've run across a problem when I try to share my library across my network at home. I can see my wife's music library, but although she can see my libraray listed, when she tries to connect to it, it fails. I have checked in the sharing preferences and all the right boxes are ticked, but alas no luck.
I have also had the same problem with my iphone- it detects the library and then cannot connect either.
I am running itunes 7.6.2 on Mac os x 10.5.4 and my wife's mac is running 10.4.11
Any ideas?

Very strange! I guess I didn't realize that you were working with a mixed network, though I don't think it should matter. Is the computer whose collection you are accessing a Mac or Windows machine? How about the other computers on the network? It is possible that you may need to cross-post this on the Windows iTunes board.
Anybody out there with experience with mixed networks? (mine is Mac-only)

Why my site is not on the top of google search?

Hi,
It's kinda interesting my "Home" page doesn't appear on the google search. Instead it's the second and third page that appears into it.
My site is EFS2 Soccer Clinic | Balance, Awareness & Motor Skills.
If you type "efs2 soccer clinic" in google search. You notice it's the "Fee" page and "More info" page that appears on the list. The "Home" page is nowhere to be found.
I want my Homepage to be in the top list not those 2 pages. How can I do that? I fixed metadata and description on Muse.
About the google webmaster, I sent the sitemap.xml to them few months ago. Still, my site doesn't create structure data on google web search.
Can you please help me on this?
Thanks,
Debs

Hi Debs.
I can see that Google bots has not crawled your site recently, Google last accessed your site on Oct-20,-2014. Check the screenshot below,
So I would suggests to submit the sitemap again. This can be the issue why google is returning different page for your site.
Regarding the Structure Data there is no structure defined on your website. check this screenshot
I would suggest to use Google Webmaster Tool's Data Highlighter, as explained in the Support article below
About rich snippets and structured data - Webmaster Tools Help
Regarding site in top page, this can be a complex task, as Google has different way to index the page, depending on the content, content quality and so on. Fixing meta tags is fine, but it does not guarantees to be on the top of google. Check the official statement by google
You can read the complete page here

Please let me know if you have any other query.

I have installed bearshare and now when I open firefox, my homepage disappears and the my google search engine is now bearshare which I don't want.

I installed bearshare as my program for downloading music, but after installation, my homepage has disappeared and my google search engine has changed to bear share.
I want google as my default search engine.

To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following. 
* In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
* In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
* Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= 
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen. 
After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/
''''''EDIT'''''': After you complete the above steps, go to Add/Remove Programs and remove the Bearshare Media Bar. It may be called "BMB".

Firefox appends 'www' to results in a Google search

I'm using Firefox 4, and all the results of a search in Google have 'www' in the url (in green). That doesn't happen on IE.
For example, if you search using the keyword '''inurl:https://''' you may see results like:
www.https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/
www.https://sede.ine.gob.es/
www.https://www.bankinter.com/
I don't know if it is a bug on Firefox, or something with Google, but just wanted to post it here because the same isn't happening on IE.

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
* Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
* Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/keyword.URL

GOOGLE search, Why am I being redirected every time I use google search.

This is new just since the firefox 4 download. I am redirected every time I use google search. This is a business only computer, and it is terrible trying to quote a price when you can't get to a website.

Why has Firefox become so slow? I hate Google but I've had to switch to Chrome. I'm on a top of the range Mac Mavericks with latest Firefox browser.

Never mind the volunteers! Why the hell can't the creators of Firefox sort this out? But if they don't want to bother then I'll just forget Firefox and carry on with Chrome.
I've tried all the cute little so-called fixes, cleared the cache, even got some silly thing called Speedy Fox but none of it ever works. Please Firefox, just sort it out.

Volunteers are the creators of Firefox, it's an open source project.
Have you tried making sure you are using the latest version of Firefox (36)? Tried a Firefox Refresh? [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]]

Why my firefox, current default set to yahoo, continuously keeps searching 127.0.0.1:30761, then refreshes within seconds, and repeats search/refresh.

continuously keeps searching 127.0.0.1:30761

Since firefox upgraded to 33,0 in the google search if I clicked it would come up with sites i have used , it doesnt seem to do that anymore , anybody know why

There seems to be some item similar to my query but not quite, what is similar is in my question when using the google search box , you used to be able to click and it would show sites you have used, this doesnt seem to work anymore , you have to try a letter but the site that are suggested are not what i use,
Anybody have any idea what may be causing this or is it something to do with the settings in options , i tried that but could see anything that i could change .
thanks for any help

hi happy80, i think this is because the search box on the homepage or a new tab will now show you suggestions provided by google once you start typing...

File sharing is sharing ALL my files across my network

I have a regular router/modem provided by my ISP.
I have an iMac connected to the router via ethernet.
I also have a Macbook connected to the gateway via wireless.
When I turn File Sharing ON on my iMac, it doesn't just share my "Public Folder" like I tell it to, it shares everything!!!... my entire hard disk and external drives attached.
Can anyone tell me why this might be happening? All I'd like is to have a folder that myself and the Macbook user ca use to share files on. Not the entire iMac.
Any help appreciated

Here is what you will need to do.
1st. Know the short name of each user on the computer you want to share with.
for example I have my daughter as a managed account Full Name: My Daughter Short Name: mydaug
Now what you have to do is go to your other computer which is showing your entire hard drive on and open up *System Preferences* go to Accounts and click on the + symbol and create a new user account under *Sharing Only* then give the Full Name under Name & the *Short Name* under Short Name as it appears on your other MAC. give them a password to use.
Keep in mind that the user accounts on the other MAC's should not have Admin rights they should be standard or managed users only for this to work cause you don't want them to able to change or delete keychains at all.
Now go to your sharing folder under *File Sharing* select the folder you want to share and then add the user to it's group. Now you should be able to add the users you just created for a certain folder or hard drive for that matter.
2nd. Now we need to go back to the other MAC and connect via the shared drives, if your automatically connected make sure you disconnect as the user & reconnect as the user you created. Which in my case would be my daughters short name & password, and click to save password to keychain. then connect.
Now even if you disconnect and connect again it will automatically connect as that same user rather then the admin as it was doing before.

How do I get Firefox 12 to open a link from Google search results?

Ever since upgrading to version 12.0, whenever I click on certain links the browser just "reloads" the same page I am on rather than loading the new page in the same tab. When this happens it's not opening the link in a new tab or window, instead just for a second the tab I am on says "connecting" and has the circular busy indicator, and then I'm right where I was before. In order actually follow a link I'm having to context click and then click Open in a new Tab.
On a lot of websites the links follow as usual and open the new page in the same tab. Others don't however, such as the search results page from google. I'm wondering if this is something to do with the new anti-duplicate tab feature, and if so, how do I disable that? I'm on OSX 10.6.8. Thanks.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
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.

Sharing USB 1TB across the network to Windows computers

I cannot seem to share USB drives, or their folders. I can share folders on the internal HDD just fine. I can connect to the computer and see the volumes I am trying to share but when I go to open them I get an error message about not having permissions or that the path maybe wrong. I have an external 1TB drive that I am trying to share, I use to share it through I Windows Vista computer but we upgraded to an iMac. I am not sure if this has any thing to do with it but in the Sharing Preferneces when I select the drive under Shared Folders, the Users "Read & Write" option are grayed out. An ideas on how to set this up properly?

did you go through these trouble shooting steps:
