Acrobat will not start-up and mac osx and will not register

Acrobat is installed on my Mac Mini, but will not allow me to register with Adobe. Also, the same Acrobat 8 pro will not operate on my MacBook pro because it is not registered and does not recognize my serial# etc. How can I call someone at Adobe? This product is worthless to me, and I have tried everything.

Hold down the option key while starting your iMac
You should see a screen with some imagines of hard drives appear.
Press the eject key to eject the disk, then select your boot partition (likely named "Macintosh HD") and hit the return key.
If you still hear the three beeps, the computer may be unable to access its system memory. Preform the resets detailed in these articles:
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh26871.html
Or try as den.thed suggested if you have recently installed memory into your computer.
If your boot partition does not appear when you hold down option and "Recovery HD" also doesn't appear, or if it does not allow you to eject the disk, you may be experiencing hardware issues. Try the above resets, and if they don't work, you will need to go to your closest AASP or Apple Retail store for service.
Good luck.

  • Final Cut Pro 7.03 does not start up in Mac OSX Lion

    Hi,
    Upgraded yesterday to Lion, and since then my FCP7.03 does not start up anymore. It says 'PID: 478, Event: hang in the report section after a forced quit. Can anybody help me out, I got work to do!
    Thanx

    What procedure did you use to uninstall FCP?
    Trashing the app itself is not uninstalling. There are many components at system level, some in folders that are normally invisible to the user. If one of those files was damaged, the problem is still there. To completely remove FCP and/or other parts of FCS, use this free tool.
    After installing a major upgrade such as Lion, you should have used Disk Utility to repair permissions on the boot drive. Did you do this?
    The first step in troubleshooting FCP is to trash it's Preference files. You can do this by hand or use this free tool.

    Did you migrate your copy of InDesign to a new computer using the Migrate feature? If so, that doesn't work. You would have to use the Adobe Cleaner utility to clean out all your CS stuff, then reinstall from the original media or download file.

  • Pages 09 (updated) will not start up using Lion OSX

    iWork Pages 09 (updated) will not start up using Lion OSX. It did work at one time but now it won't. I reinstalled iWork several times with updates but the applications say to reinstall or check the developer.  I'm using an i-Mac Intel with updated downloads for all applications.  Thank You in Advance for your thoughts to solving this concern.

    What else have you been doing just before this problem started? Any other updates on the computer? If you need to reinstall iWork which some has when upgrading to Lion after a complete uninstall.
    To uninstall correctly iWork, go to Yvans iDisk :
    <http://public.me.com/koenigyvan>
    Download :
    For_iWork:iWork '09:uninstall iWork '09.zip
    Expand the archive and run the script.
    Now you can instal iwork again and do the updates.

    Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
    Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
    Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
    Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
    Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
    If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

    hi,i have a very big problem....i had an accident with my macbook , i poured some champagne and it does not start anymore....it will work again???

    If you spilled champagne on it, chances are not good.  If you haven't alredy DO NOT turn it on or charge it.  I would immediately take it to the Genius Bar and see if they can clean it up before. 
    Had the same problem with a 15" MBP and a tea spill and I did the opposite.  Trashed the Logic & Keyboard Assembly.  Cost to repair was going to be more than what I paid for a computer so ended up having to replace it.

  • Help! Can't start up from Mac OSX 10.0.4

    I’m hoping someone can help me with a problem. I have an Apple G-4 computer. When I originally purchased it 3-4 years ago I believe it came with OS 9.1 and OSX installed. Both worked fine when I first got it. Through the years I upgraded the OS to 9.2.2 and haven’t used OSX since the first time I purchased the computer.
    Well, I went out an purchased a digital camera which only works with OSX. So I switched the start up disk to OSX and re-started the computer. No OSX, only a gray screen with wording, letters and numbers that are highlighted. Some of the wording is as follows: “panic unable to find driver for this platform”, no debugger configured-dumping debug information”, panic we are hanging here”.
    So I re-started from the CD, switched to OS 9.2 and restarted. I then removed the OSX system from my computer. I then re-installed OSX again and tried to start from it, but the same thing happened. I’m not sure if it has any bearing, but I noticed in the startup disk, Mac OSX 10.0.4 has next to it (Build 4Q12). Not sure what it means or if it’s suppose to be there.
    Sure would appreciate some help here. Thanks much.
    G-4   Mac OS X (10.0.x)  

    10.4 will work on your machine as long as you upgrade the firmware first.
    Follow my upgrade tips when installing:
    http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
    I would add the person who has the least trouble upgrading to X, goes to it cold turkey. As you are suggesting only to do so for your digital camera, I'm not sure if you really are ready to go to X. I'd get all your software upgraded to X versions before going to X purchased, and then you'll be able to work it out. I've also written this FAQ on migration:

  • Photoshop CS5 - colour settings in Print menu not working after update Mac OSX maverick

    After upgrading to Maverick OSX on the iMac printing from CS5 via Epson R3880 is not working correctly. In Print Settings menu the drop downs for Colour and Colour Settings are greyed out. I already re-installed PS and installed the new drivers from epson. Any ideas?

    but after choosing PS manages color, the options in the print menu for choosing color (color or b&W) and color settings are not available anymore. They used to be the last three years I printed with photoshop/epson 3880.
    Instead they are greyed out now.

    created by Chris Cox in Photoshop General Discussion - View the full discussion
    If Photoshop managed color, then the controls in the printer driver are supposed to be grayed out - that's how Apple specifies drivers to work (because only one party should be managing the print color).
    So what you're describing is perfectly normal.

    my mac mini build is 11G56 and mac osx is 10.7.5 how can i install latest mac 10.8 and above

    Simply purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store and it will begin installation after the download is complete. Note that it's a large download, about 4.5GB, so you should have a good Internet connection..
    However... if I were you, I would just wait another month or so until Apple releases Mavericks - the 'latest' announced version of OS X -> http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/.
    No need to pay for two upgrades in a months (or so) time...

    Hi,
    I have a MBP 13' Late 2011 and Yosemite 10.10.2 (14C1514).
    Until yesterday, I was using Garmin ConnectIQ SDK and all was working fine.
    Yesterday, I've updated my system with latest security updates and Xcode updates too (Version 6.2 (6C131e)).
    Since, I can't launch the ConnectIQ simulator app, I have this message in console :

    I guess it is a normal format but my system seems to be unable to read binary plist ?
    I tried some stuff with plutil
    plutil -lint Info.plist

    Same for convert
    plutil -convert xml1 Info.plist
    Info.plist: Property List error: Unexpected character b at line 1 / JSON error: JSON text did not start with array or object and option to allow fragments not set.
    I also try to download a fresh version of the connectIQ SDK and no changes.
    Any idea ?
    Thanks
