  • Face-screen of phone turns white and won't refresh & adobe pdf stopped working, too

    i've synched, i've update software, i've turned phoneoff and back on and phone is fully charged

    You have to perform a software repair using PC companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
    Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
    Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable.

  • G4 (800MHz) connects to airport network via N300 wireless modem but won't bring up a browser page (Safari or Firefox)

    G4 (800MHz) connects to airport network via N300 wireless modem but won't bring up a browser page (Safari or Firefox) - so the connection is there, everything says its a goer  - I get a clear black signal icon in the menu bar on top, and a clear signal strength in the Internet connect dialogue box -  - but when I run either of the browsers, it just says 'not connected to internet' - even for the 'software update'.
    the N300 is a Netgear N300 Wirelsess Modem Router (model DGN2200) - ADSL (802.11 b/g/n)

  • Since I got OS10.8.2 Safari won't display online PDF files?

    Since I got OS10.8.2 Safari won't display online PDF files?
    Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • After updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1, Verification Failed: An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made. My wifi connection works; the icon is present at the top left. But Internet won't connect, be it Safari, App Store

    After updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1, Verification Failed: "An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made."

    Are you really still on 10.5.1?
    Tell us your exact OS, the version of Safari you're running, how long this has been happening, etc.  Is it actually crashing?  Does it open up with your Home Page?  Then what happens when you want to see a site?

    Try force closing the iBooks app: go to the home screen, double-tap the home button, locate iBooks in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, tap the home button again.  Try your iBooks again and see if they work properly now.

  • My iPad will connect to wifi and safari works but all apps that need an Internet connection won't load including iTunes?

    Google on safari works on my iPad but everything else that needs Internet won't even load? Is there anything I can do?

    Have you tried a restart?
    Simultaneously press and hold the Home and Power buttons on your iPad. Do not release them until you see the Apple Logo. Be patient because it takes about 10-15 seconds. Try again and let us know if this helped or not.

  • New iPad 2 won't bring up log on pages when I sign on to hotel wifi networks. Is there anyway to "refresh" Safari so it looks for the log on page?

    Have had new iPAD 2 for a month now- about 90% of the time it won't sign on to wifi networks that require a log on page - it simply won't bring the log on pages up and I haven't figured out anyway to make it do so - I have tried rebooting, turning wifi on and off, turning the ipad on and off - 
    I get a strong signal from the wifi network but can't get on the internet -   makes the ipad virtually worthless to me.  I saw this was a topic of discussion last year with lots of complaints but I can't find any suggestions or solutions.  Is this just a terribly defective product?
    Any suggestions welcome!

    For many systems, you need to use a browser to go to some site. The first site the browser tries to go to, it will be interrupted and a log in page appears. For other sites you need to choose the wifi router in the settings and enter the password.

  • "Network service error" game apps that require internet connection working fine, internet signal strong. Safari working, but YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and App Store won't work?! Tried resetting network settings but problem persists?

    Safari working fine, as are game apps that require internet connection.
    I can not get AppStore, YouTube app, Facebook app or twitter app to load anything as 'network service error" comes up.
    I have the latest update 7.2 and have tried resetting network settings, anyone else have this problem?! How do I fix it?

    I did try that one. But for some reason it still does not help. The strange thing stays that I can acces Twitter and other Apps. But still nos Safari/App Store. Only when I am on Wi-Fi.

  • Adober Reader suddenly won't open any PDF files (Mac)

    I had an old version, I downloaded the latest one, upgraded to the newest, even tried taking that one out and downloading an older version. It doesn't matter which version I seem to have, it won't open any pdf files from the web.
    I use a Mac, and Safari. It used to always load PDF files fine, one random place said I had to update it so I did and since then, lately it'd crash and close all Safari windows when loading a PDF or trying to copy something from a PDF. The smart Mac message I have says it could be related to an Adobe Plug in. However, now it won't even load PDF files at all, it always goes to a white page. Nothing happens.
    What do I do?? I can't even save the PDF's as individual files and view then in Preview as an alternative option. It's a link online and normally would work. What happened??
    HELP!
    I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
    I've always used Safari, it's Version 5.0.5 (5533.21.1 if that means anything).
    Acrobat Reader, currently an old version 9.4.0 download. BUT, I had also the 10.0.1 version which also doesn't work. When I had that 10.0.1 version and checked for updates, there was an update (.3 I think?) and I did that and that also doesn't work!
    Why did it suddenly stop working?
    What can I do to fix it ASAP?
    Only with 9.4.0 version I can go to Help and "Repair Adobe Reader Installation" - I click that and the only box I can select is "Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin - View, fill-in and collaborate on Adobe PDFs within Safari"  - I click continue and it tells me there's "No missing components detected. Repairs are not needed." The only option is to click "OK".
    With any newer version of Adobe Reader, under Help there is no option to "Repair Adobe Reader Installation". So... I can't even try that with a new version.
    I am at a loss for solutions. Hope someone here can help! Thanks!

    There are several things you can do. My first step would be to repair permissions. If that doesn't work log on as a different user. If all works properly then you have a corrupt preference file (most likely) or a corrupt user font installed in your user Library (less likely). If that doesn't work download Applejack. Have it repair the disk, remove all system caches and user caches. Then have it check all system and user preference files. Remove any preference files that are corrupt. Reboot and see if your system is working properly.

  • Some PDFs not working in Preview. Mac created PDFS work but windows created PDFS dont

    Some PDFs not working in Preview. I installed adobe reader and then deleted it because the software was aweful and PDFs have been haveing issues ever since. I can open up PDFs created on my Mac in preview just fine...

    I am not sure why where the PDF was created would make a difference but couldnt help but notice that was the difference between the PDF files that work and the ones that give that message. I can view the PDFs on a windows computer just fine and never had issues untill adobe, it seems to have messed up PDFs on my Mac and I am so frustrated with them. I have searched my computer for any remaining adobe files, deleted them and restarted my computer but I am still getting this message.

  • Framemaker 12, Save as PDF and Print PDF Not working...

    We are using Framemaker 12 version 12.0.3.424, it tells me it is the latest patch level, and the issue we are having is that it won't either save as or print to PDF, both options are failing, they start up and then go to a certain point and come up as "not responding" and then just stops. I have managed to get a postscript file on two occasions that got 141 pages out of 1400+. I have gone through a bunch of the threads here and made sure that I have changed Adobe PDF printer to the default and deselected the box about using the specific fonts, still nothing. We are also using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard, and that is now up to the latest patch level as well. I am running out of things to try in order to get this full book put together and ready for delivery. If anyone has any additional things to try that would be great. One thing I feel might be an issue is that some of the files seem to be using a different font, "Times" vs. "Times New Roman", Frame automatically substitutes it, so was wondering if that is the issue.
    Any and all assistance will be great on this.

    Then you aren't anywhere near a 32-bit file size constraint.
    > We are running 64 bit machines here, though the program I think is the 32 bit version.
    Pretty much all CPUs are 64-bit now. What matters is the OS version, and Win7 and 8 installs are commonly 64-bit these days. FM may not even have specific 32- or 64-bit installs. I've tested FM9 on Win7/64 for file size limits, and it sails past 4GB with no problems.
    > ... stops everytime on one particular page, that has was is an OLE linked .vsd file in it.
    As if the world needed another reason to never ever use OLE for anything anywhere, esp. in Framemaker. Export that object in a stable graphical file format (PDF should work). Import that.
