Can't update Adobe Reader 10.01 (Mac Version)

I am running OS 10.6.7 on a MacPro (MacPro 4,1: 8 core - - 2mx 2.93 FHz Quad-Core Xeon). I installed Adobe Reader 10.01 uneventufully. However, many times when on the web Safari says it can't find Adobe Reader to read a document and I have to locate Adobe Reader manually. This didn't happen until after I updated to Acrobat 10.01. Thinking that this might be a bug, I looked for an update for Acrobat Reader. But when I attempt to update Adobe Reader to 10.03, it goes through the motions and then gives the follolwing error message:
"The update could not be applied because the Adobe Reader application contents were modified since the original installation."
"Please reinstall Adobe Reader and check for updates again."
"Error 1301"
I followed directions, reinstalled Adobe Reader and immediately afterwards attempted to install the update. Same error message.
I threw out the old version of Adobe Reader 10.01, downloaded it again, reinstalled it and then attempted the update, Same error message.
I've repaired permissions, used AppleJack to clean caches, used DiskWarrior to rebuild the directory. Same error message when attempting to update Adobe Reader.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.

REFRESH - I have this same problem. I would like to update this, since I understand there are various security fixes included with each update of Adobe Reader. Is this correct? If no one has an answer, then how can I trash the updater so I at least don't get this annoying message anymore??? It pops up EVERY STINKING DAY!!!

  • Can not update Adobe Reader as it did not come from Apple App Store.

    Can not update Adobe Reader or Adobe Lightroom 5 as they did not come through Apple App Store.  Note says I selected not to accept apps other than from Apple.  Just started backing up new Iphone and Ipad to Macbook Pro.  Is there a setting some where that would allow updates?    

    Yes there is a setting for that. Open system preferences go to the security & privacy sections, click the lock icon and type in your password. Then in the "Allow applications downloaded from: area tick Anywhere.

  • I can't download Adobe Reader in my Mac OS X 20.9.4.

    I can't download Adobe Reader in my Mac OS X 20.9.4.
    I have tried everything. I used Safari and Fire Fox, have enabled Java Script,
    and I have even tried all options suggested via helps.adobe.com and
    nothing seems to work.
    Please, help! Thanks!

    You can try using the full offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    If that doesn't work, please explain in detail what happens when you try to download Reader.
    And I hope you meant OS X 10.9.4...

  • Can't launch updated Adobe Reader v10.1.3 in Firefox v3.6.28 in Mac OS X 10.5.8?

    Hello.
    Is it me or does the newly updated Adobe Reader v10.1.3 does not load from Firefox v3.6.28 in Mac OS X 10.5.8? This is after I click on any PDF links on a web site. Safari had no problems though!
    Thank you in advance.

    It's not about that, I think, as I got the exactly same bug with Firefox 12.0 / OS X 10.7.3 after the last Adobe Reader update.
    However, the release notes are interesting, see p. 6: "If you still require a 32-bit solution, this update also supports Mozilla Firefox for Macintosh when it is opened in 32-bit mode." 
    So, it seems that the last update is pushing the inline viewer (NPAPI?) plugin to 64-bit Firefox, even that it's known that it wouldn't work. In Mozilla forums some had tried to fix this by forcing Firefox to open in 32-bit mode (via Finder -> Applications -> right-click Firefox -> Get Info -> check Open in 32-bit mode), but I'd rather see the bug itself fixed.
    Interesting. Where are you seeing this in Mozilla forums? I didn't see anyone talk about this Adobe Reader problem in Firefox newsgroups on news.mozilla.org news server even after I posted my issue.
    It's in this bug report: http://support.mozilla.org/fi/questions/925055 - confirmed already by 230 people, by the way...
    Sorry to hear that the 32-bit workaround didn't work for you. (I haven't even tested it yet myself, just disabled the plug-in altogether to get the pdf files even loaded to Preview...)

  • Whenever firefox is opened, it freezes. This has occurred after I updated adobe reader recently. What's wrong with firefox and what can I do?

    Recently firefox will open but then freeze immediatly. This has occurred after I updated adobe reader. I'm not sure if that affected firefox, but the time period fits. Restarting my computer has no effect on firefox.

    The Adobe DLM is not required for Adobe products to work. You can uninstall it by opening the Windows Control Panel and selecting Add or Remove Programs. In the list of programs select Adobe DLM (may be listed as Adobe Download Manager) and click on remove.

  • How can I stop getting demand to update Adobe Reader when Foxit is set as my default reader?

    Windows XP, Firefox 18.
    Foxit is set as my default reader, but you (Firefox) keep demanding I update Adobe reader while blocking Foxit from opening. I do not want the current Adobe reader on my machine. Why won't Firefox respect my choice of default reader?

    Hello again, madperson. I spent a lot of time this afternoon trying to get back to you but just couldn't find the right place in Firefox...very frustrating. Have just now found an e-mail w/ link back here.
    I am just beginning to get the idea that updated Foxit software is not the same as am updated Foxit plugin for Firefox. Firefox is telling me that I have a Foxit plugin installed, v. 2.2.3.111, but I am not sure how current that is.
    I took the link you suggested here (thank you!), which does offer some
    Foxit plugins for Firefox. However, the latest seems to be for Foxit 5.3, and the new Foxit software I downloaded today is 5.4. So where does that leave me?
    Thank you so much for your help!
