frshjb373 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 When I try to go to www.adobe.com, for some reason it brings up my localhost directory. I have no idea why it's doing this. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

QuickOldCar Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 More than likely is a rule in your hosts file redirecting www.adobe.com to 127.0.0.1 1. Open "My Computer"2. Open Drive C3. Open Windows folder4. Open System32 folder5. Open Drivers folder6. Open Etc folder7. Double-click the hosts file and choose to open using Notepad when you're asked. look for a line something similar below and delete it: 127.0.0.1 *.adobe.com ** if you get "access denied" errors when trying to save the file, try openning the hosts file using "Run as Administrator". this issue happens usually when you're working on Win Vista/7 with UAC turned on.

frshjb373 Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm on Mac OS X 10.8.5. Do you know where I can find the hosts file on a mac? Thanks again for the help!

ignace Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) In a terminal type: $ sudo nano /etc/hostsThis is something that isn't normally there and is a technique employed when using one of their products illegally. Removing the rule means your adobe products will stop working.
