    Hi monikap7171658,
    Could you please let me know what version of OS and Acrobat are you using.
    Please check for the system requirements for Acrobat XI and previous versions:
    System requirements | Acrobat family of products—older versions (XI, X, 9)
    If you have Acrobat DC, then check for the system requirements here:
    System requirements | Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, Adobe Acrobat Standard DC
    You can try downloading the software again from the below mentioned link:
    Other downloads
    Let me know.
    Regards,

    In General 3rd Party AV Software is Not Required as Mac OS X tends to look after itself.

  • Error encounted. Acrobat installer encountered an unexpected failure. Please try again. If it continues to fail, contact Adobe support.

    I just purchased Acrobat Pro and I'm trying to download it to my computer, but the installer is failing.
    Does anyone know how I can get help with this installation?
    Thanks!

    Ok, so it's been almost 4 hours and I'm still not able to get to my work finished because the download of the Acrobat Pro I just purchased is not working on my OS X 10.8.5 mac. I even tried to open the Acrobat Pro on a different computer that doesn't have any Acrobat reader software on it, but it didn't work either.
    I would love it if I could speak to a representative. Could someone tell me how I can contact a representative, and either get my money back or start using the program so I can get to work today?
    Thank you,
    D

    You don't provide any details, but from the sound of it you are trying to open an online PDF in a browser that does not use the Adobe Reader plugin: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

  • I am trying to update to 5.0 and the installer keeps saying that I need to close Firefox to continue, but I have closed it and it still says I need to close it.

    I then tried to uninstall Mozilla 4.0 and it keeps saying the same thing that I need to close firefox before I can continue, but it is closed. I have no browsers open and it still will not allow the uninstall or the install.

    No iPod touch is capable of running both iOS 4.2 and 7.1.2, and you appear to have a second generation iPod touch, which can't be updated past 4.2.1.

  • Trying to install flash player on a Mac. I keep getting an error message  that I need to close Safari to continue, when Safari isn't open at the time. How do get past this impediment?

    Trying to install flash player on a Mac. I keep getting an error message that I need to turn close Safari to continue. I don't have Safari open. How do I get past this impediment?

    What Pat said:
    Open Safari
    From the upper-left of the screen, choose Safari > Quit Safari
    You can now proceed with the installation.

  • When you close Safari and then Reopen it, Shouldn't the Websites/Windows Reopen?

    At least thats what I thought was one of the new things with Lion.
    If you close Safari, and then reopen it, the windows you left open are supposed to re-open.  But thats not happening for me most of the time.  If there are tabs, the tabs still say the name of the websites but the pages themselves are blank.  Other windows are just blank.  Ive tried calling Tech Support in the past and never got a satisfactory response.
    It keeps getting frustrating because I have to manually retype all the URLs to get the pages back.

    I mean quitting Safari with the windows open- not closing the windows.
    I have plenty of bookmarks but dont want to bookmark pages that Im just currently using - and dont necessarily want to go back to all the time.
    I just would like Safari and Lion to work the way its supposed to

  • How to close Safari and Apps entirely?

    I recently got Iphone 4 and have been reading through the manual where I noticed that Safari and other programs are still running in the background if I do not close the programs entirely. I thought all programs were closed once I clicked the 'home' button and opened another program.
    I am not sure exactly how to close Safari or the App programs so I would be grateful to learn about how to do that.
    Thank you.

    Thank you for that link. I bought two tutorial programs for Iphone 4 and that's where I saw that it was adviced to close Safari and other Apps entirely as they were running in the background and in doing so were wearing down on the battery.
    As far as I understand the link you went me Safari and other Apps are kind of closed once I have clicked the Home button so that should be OK.
    However, when I opened a radio program it did not seem to be possible for me to close it down even though I was using the Home button. The music kept playing which of course many times would be great however I would like to know how to close a program when I do not want to use it any more.

  • Why does the tab button in Safari close safari and not open a new tab?

    Why does the tab button in Safari close Safari and not open a new tab?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • HT5361 I can't shut down my computer because it says mail is open.  It says to close mail and continue shut down.  Problem is I can't open or close mail now.  Can't shut down my computer at all.  What can I do?

    I can't shut down my computer because it says mail is open.  It says to close mail and continue shut down.  Problem is I can't open or close mail now.  Can't shut down my computer at all.  What can I do?

    If you cannot get mail to quit/force quit, you can always remove power from your Mac.
    NOTE: removing power is a bad idea, and can result in data loss, but sometimes it is the only thing left to do.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 to 10 seconds, and the Mac will power off.
    When you power back on, the Mac should reboot.

  • So I just updated to the newest update that was available for safari and iTunes but now it won't let me go on the Internet using safari and  it also won't let me sync my songs ,,,,,it takes forever to back up my iPad AND my iPod so what can I do ?

    So I just updated to the newest update that was available for safari and iTunes but now it won't let me go on the Internet using safari and  it also won't let me sync my songs ,,,,,(it takes forever to backup my iPad AND my iPod) so what can I do ?

    If you're on windows try the following:
    This worked for me an hour ago and has allowed me to sync ok. Still haven't tried downloading the new version 5 to the phone yet as I'm still backing up photos etc just in case.
    1. Quit itunes
    2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> right click Command Prompt -> Run as Administrator)
    3. Once in the command prompt type the following 3 words starting where your cursor is flashing: netsh winsock reset
    4. press ENTER
    5. Reboot your machine
    6. Restart itunes & connect device to sync
    7. Good luck

    I've found that if I make it smaller either by changing the wrapper or exporting a smaller size from photoshop, the size is fine on Safari and Firefox but really small on Chrome. Prefer bigger rather than smaller but would be so great if there was something I could do to get them all the same...
    Help. Thanks

    Since we can't see your images without a link to your work in progress, my guess would be your zoom settings in those browsers are set to something other than 100%.
    You are also shooting yourself in the foot in a major way with all that absolute positioning. APDivs have been removed from DW in newer versions because Adobe finally came to their senses and stopped allowing the marketing department to dictate how design should be done.
