Acrobat 9 installed on Windows 8.1; upon Save, error every time: "The Organizer Database is damaged and will be reset..."; no "Organizer90" file found (to be deleted, as www suggests for solution with XP, VIsta, 7)

I've installed my old faithful Acrobat 9 Pro on my new Windows 8.1 computer. The program works, but every time I save the document, it tells me "The Organizer Database is damaged and will be reset. Quit the program and close all browsers." (Something close to that text.) I've entered the error online, and a solution does appear for XP, Vista, and Windows 7. It tells me to have Windows Explorer show hidden files, and then look for "Organizer90" within Users/[me]/AppData/LocalLow/Adobe/Acrobat/9.0, and then delete that file -- which will make Acrobat generate a new one. But there is no such file there. Please help with alternate solution. NOTE: When I "Check for Updates" in Acrobat, I'm told that there are no updates available at this time, but also told: "Please note that some updates for the following products cannot be determined at this time: Adobe Updater." Seems like things are out of whack.

Thanks for help. Difficulties continue: When trying to install 9.5.5, I'm told it can't install because the program may not be on my computer, or may be the wrong version. I'm told to check that the program exists. The installed version (9.0) is totally legit, my serial numbers, etc., I've used it for many years. Automatic update seems to be on, but I downloaded Adobe Updater to be sure. Seemed to make no difference. Program does function, but not perfectly. Under "About," it calls itself 9.0, so it would not seem that auto update is taking place. Acrobat on previous machine (Windows Vista) indeed calls itself 9.5.5. (It was installed with same 9.0 package, and presumably updated itself to 9.5.5 over the years.) So summary of current problem: Acrobat 9.0 won't upgrade to 9.5.5 on Windows 8.1.

  • Organizer database is damaged in acrobat 9 Std

    I just installed acrobat 9 standard.
    When I open a PDF the program works fine, including editing fields etc.
    When i close any PDF this error message comes up.
    The Organizer database is damaged and will be reset the next time Acrobat is launched. Quit the application and close any currently opened web browsers
    I am not sure what the organizer database is, but I see others have had this problem in other versions of this program.
    What is the Organizer database? Any help would be appreciated
    I tried to repair installation under help and it did not help.

    Hello everyone!
    I think I just fixed the problem in Acrobat 9.  I have the pro version and vista business 64bit.
    I navigated to C:\Users\[YOUR NAME HERE]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0
    I noticed that there was no organizer file or folder inside that folder.  However, I noticed that the two files, Usercache.bin and SharedDataevents were updated at the same time that my acrobat had reported the Organizer database error.
    So, in an attempt to logically discern where the problem was coming from, I decided to drag these files to my desktop.  My understanding was that when Acrobat looked for and attempted to access these files, they would not be found.  Additionally, by saving the files, I could (theoretically) easily return them to their proper location if some horrible error occured.
    As I theorized, these two files were recreated upon opening Acrobat.  Since I deleted (moved) the files and Acrobat rebuilt them I have not had any trouble.
    I believe that what Acrobat does is APPEND the files if they are found in the folder, and if they are not found, it recreates them from a standard template.  I believe the UserCache file probably has the acrobat preferences inside, including the various standard fonts and icc profiles used for printing preferences.
    (ICC profiles are pretty neato IMHO and very useful for ensuring WYSIWYG document viewing and printing on various different monitors and printers.  Very good for prepress color constantcy and for reducing the "delta E" of your printshop.) 
    Anyhoo, because I don't ever use the organizer feature in acrobat, I am unaware of whether the recreation of these files deletes any info with regards to the organizer.  Perhaps special features are reset, but I don't know.  Perhaps someone who uses this feature will report their findings.
    The important thing for me is that the VERY annoying message IS gone.
    I will be sure to update this link ASAP if the problem reoccurs. I usually create 40-100 pdf files per day for work from web and print sources, so if it reoccurs I imagine it will do so fairly soon.
    Hopefully this will help those with Acrobat 9.0 standard as well.
    I would do the same thing for Mac using the location given earlier in the thread.  Just move the files or put them on a flash drive so you can restore them if things go south.  If I remember from my Mac days, the OS is pretty user friendly and the fix may be easier than the one for Vista.
    Good luck, all and happy Acrobatting!

  • Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing!

    Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • HT203175 How do I install iTunes on Windows Server 2003?!? I get an error every time!!

    I am having trouble installing any version of ITunes 10.5 or later
    on my Windows 2003 Server PC. I receive the following error
    every time I try to install it...
    "Apple Mobile Device Support requires that your computer is running Windows XP SP2 or newer"
    I anyone has had this same problem I would appreciate any help!!!
    Thank you!!!

    I've googled my problem with many hits stating Itunes can indeed be installed
    by making changes to the msi packages and I believe a few
    registry hacks. It sounds like it can be done, but before experimenting with
    those suggestions I thought looking to the Apple community on the official site
    might glean a better remedy.
    I'm just surprised Apple doesn't support any Windows Server applications
    even though Windows Server 2003 came out after Windows XP,

    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard on both of my computers.
    Some time ago, one crashed my computer and I had to reinstall the operating system and all applications.
    After I had installed once Acrobat 9 Sdt in the computer, I wanted to update the software version 9.0.0 update to the same level as it was before the crash and that the other computer has version named 9.5.5.
    The system for update from version 9.0.0 does not work at all. "There are no updates" listed in the dialog.
    Can you advise how I get my Adobo Acrobat 9 Standard (Version 9.0.0) could be updated to the same level as the computer had before the crash.

    I installed Mavericks yesterday and have now got problems with QuarkXpress 9. Every time I click on an image and try to move it the application crashes. Anyone had similar problems or got any suggestions?

    Hi Guys
    Updated my 2 imacs to Maverick yesterday. Schoolboy error on my part not checking if there were problems with any programmes before I did.
    Quark is now a nightmare with no short term answer on the way. As a Quark user for over 20 years this is just another reason to hold your hands up and say OK Indesign you win I will have to learn how to use you and Quark will be a distant memory.
    I am told there will probably be no solution to getting quak 9 running on Maverick and that you will need to update to 10 in about 2-3 weeks to get back to normal. Having spent a few bob on 2 versions of 9.5 only in Feb this year i didn't really want to upgrade yet.
    So its cough up to carry on using Quark or learn Indesign.
    I have lost faith in Quark as they are quick to send me e-mails asking me to upgrade to this and that version, why didn't they send one out saying do not upgrade to Maverick. Perhaps they know there loyal follwing will uograde to 10 and will generate a nice little bonus before Xmas.
    Lots to do today and will now take 10 times longer to do it. Is this 2013 or 1974!!!!!
    If anyone hears of a solution please post ASAP

  • EMac wont install OSX, fails on install with errors every time

    I have a 1.25GHz emac that I just recently got, Well it wouldnt boot at first at all and had the Rom password crap on it. So i got rid of all of that and now it boots from the CD just fine it just wont install OSX im using a Retail Black disc for Tiger and it just wont get past a certain spot in the install and fails with errors every time. Any suggestions? Ive tried to install panther & Jaguar and neither of those discs will boot.
    Thanx
    Jeremy

    Sometimes, the OSX installer wants a clean partition. As the computer is new to you and probably has no files on the drive you need, I suggest you wipe the drive before trying again. Boot from the install CD and choose "Open Disk Utility" from the installer's File menu. Use DU to erase and reformat the disk, choosing "Mac Extended (Journaled)" format.
    This will clear any old files that are interfering with the installer and leave a blank slate.

  • LabVIEW 8.0.1 on Windows 8 wants to mass compile every time I start it?

    My Windows 7 machine took a dump and I installed LabVIEW 8.0 on a new Windows 8 machine.  I then installed the 8.0.1 upgrade and did the mass compile.  I then installed NIVPM and attempted to install the openG package which some of my vis depend on.  Only a few of the openG modules installed without dependency issues or somesuch.  Now every time I start LabVIEW it is as if I never did the mass compile and it wants to do it all over again.  I don't recall having any such issue when I installed labVIEW in Win7 (or Vista, or XP).  Am I missing something?  Can someone help... please???
    In case it matters the machine is an HP Pavillion G7-2240US laptop, Intel Core i32370M @ 2.4 GHz, 6.00 GB RAM

    OK, I get it. You are irritated that you can't do something you wanted to do. I can't understand what bug you are talking about. LV8 doesn't run on Win8? That's not a bug. By your logic I should be able to dig out the old V4 disks I have laying around and run them on my Win7 computer. Or better yet, I still have an old Mac488 GPIB interface box made by IOTech. Should I be expecting NI to come out with DAQmx drivers for it? They did after all buy out the company.
    I got two words for you: obsolete happens. V8 was a good version in its day, but its day was 6 years ago. Someday LV2013 will be obsolete - heck someday you will be obsolete. It just happens, so my suggestion is to go buy yourself a pair of big-boy pants and stop whining.
