Acrobat won't install on my iMac

I bought a Fujitsu S1500 snanner bundled with set up software and Adobe acrobat 9 Standard which I installed on my pc. I have now changed the pc to an iMac and the Acrobat software will not install. I find it very strange that the software supplied does not seem to have the option to run on both pc and mac. My Canon MX320 software does have this option, Suggestions please.

Fijitsu sells both the S1500 scanner (packaged with Acrobat 9 Standard and other Windows software) and the S1500M (packaged with Acrobat 9 Pro and other Macintosh Software). They do not provide both Mac and Windows software with their scanner. If you have your own version of Windows you can use the Windows software running onder Bootcamp or emulation software like Parallels or Fusion. You cannot scan using the S1500 with Acrobat Pro 9 for the Mac. The S1500M comes with its own scanning software. It can scan to the Mac to a pdf file that you can then process with Acrobat or Preview whichever best suits your need. Personally, I use Acrobat Pro X for the Mac platform. If you only need to view pdf files, than the Mac's preview application may be sufficient for your needs.

  • Acrobat won´t install

    My G5 mac with OS 10.3.9 has had a well functioning Acrobat 6.0 for years.Suddenly Acrobat refuses to mount (install). I have tried restart. I have the same problem even when trying to start an Acrobat copy that I have on an external disk. I can´t find the original installer disc , so I would rather not uninstall the existing program. I have tried to download and install an Acrobat Reader (7.1) to see if my pdfs can be opened. But they did´nt. What am I to do?

    THANKS FOR ANSWERING, MIKE!
    Yes,I have used the application on my Mac for a long time.
    When clicking the icon, I get the message: "Adobe Acrobat could not install correctly. Adobe was unable to install and must quit."
    I have tried Disk Utilities and fixed permissions. I have also tried to run the program from another user. No reaction.This is the case for Distiller too. Just before the incident I had organized and added a great deal of fonts with Extensiss Suitcase X, so could this be the reason? The fonts were put in the right place, and not in subfolders made by me. These fonts are working perfect in Indesign CS.
    I think I will be busy this weekend trying out different solutions......

  • Leopard won't install on my iMac

    So I erased my hard-drive to re-install my copy of leopard that came with my computer but it won't install- it keeps stopping about halfway and saying it can't be installed on my Mac. Any ideas?
    My computer was working fine until it froze trying to update Adobe reader and when I forced it to restart it got stuck on the grey apple screen. I tried restarting from safe boot and it didn't work- it would only boot from the cd. I tried repairing the disk and permissions but it kept giving me different errors so I just went ahead and erased everything, which brings me back to not being able to reinstall the os.

    Was it repairing disk or permissions that kept giving different errors?
    I think this was available in 10.5 installs, but can't check... hit CMD+L before starting the Install or right after, that should show a log of what exactly is going on.
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
       3. Click the Erase tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion hopefully you'll be able to install.

  • IMac G5 Software restore CDs won't install on different iMac. Why?

    I recently sold an OS X 10.4 iMac G5 Software restore CDs set. I got a message from the buyer and he says "I noticed that the discs say they are part of a hardware bundle and should not be sold separately." He says that the CDs will not install on his iMac.
    Anyone know if it's possible to override this limitation? Thanks.

    Nope. All install sets that come bundled with a computer are machine specific. Take them back and refund the buyer his money. Those disks should remain with the computer.

  • Acrobat won't install on our computers.

    I can't get acrobat XI to install on any of our computers.  It gives an error that points to the my documents folder.  Our My Documents folders are by default policy pointing to the servers.  Any ideas?

    Something is preventing the installer from completing it's task and the only way you can find out what it might be is to create a verbose installation log file.
    Here is a simple way to do that:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2545723
    Once you have applied the MS Fixit for the appropriate OS then re-run the installer.
    When it fails again the gather the log file and post it.
    Else you could always contact Adobe Support.

  • FCE 3.5 Won't install on my iMac

    I just bought the full FCE 3.5 to install on my iMac and it stops after 45 min on the LiveType Media 1 disk. Tried it 2 times and am STUCK. I have enough disk space and updated my software as instructed prior to attempting to install. What's up - anybody know? Thanks much
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Yes, according to apple support it is a brand-new, but known issue. Bad DVD. So they will send out another and I hope this one will work. What did you do when your second disk would not install live type?
    I want to thank everyone for helping me out on this issue...I was and am a bit discouraged about the number of (little) problems I have had in the 6 months since I got my imac and MacBook Pro. For 10+ years on PCs I never had a single issue that caused me any frustration or down time. This will be 5 working days before they send a new disk out...period. If it was me I'd rip open a box and send it overnight today to keep the customer happy. Anyway, thanks to everyone who "chimed in" on this topic and if you have Live Type 1 stop installation at 69% - CALL APPLE, it's not you or your machine.

  • CS 6 Design Standard-Acrobat won't install

    Just installed CS6 Design Standard from disc to my Mac. Education Edition. Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator all installed OK, but Acrobat Pro did not, despite checking the box at the start of the install.
    Installed the trial while waiting for serial number, and Acrobat wouldn't install then either. Had a free trial which expired some time back.
    Any ideas?

    The trial is a newer version of Acrobat than in the old CS6 package, and if you didn't delete it it has probably caused all sorts of problems. Try deleting Acrobat XI and trying again.

  • Adobe Reader plugin(Acrobat) won't install and Update in FF4

    if I try to open FF4 and go to a pdf file Adobe Reader 10 will open then freeze FF4... I then went to Plugin check.. says Adobe Acrobat needs an Update.. I d/l it 3x.. still comes up as needing an upadate after restarting FF4... it just won't take it as a plugin..
    I can't open pdf files anymore.. either FF4 is the culprit --I d/l it last month.. or the Adobe 10 update is...
    any help appreciated..

    Thank you for the video.
    The video shows the App Store app that is trying to download and install Adobe Reader for iOS.  Adobe Reader for iOS is not even launched at the point.  Once we (the Adobe Reader Mobile team) upload a new version of Adobe Reader to the App Store, Apple takes care of the installation & updates of the app (and all other iOS apps) for users.
    I just uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.6.3 on my iPad running iOS 8.1 but could not reproduce the problem.  I suspect that your iPad is in inconsistent state with regard to app updates.
    Here are a couple of things that you could try.
    Go to the iOS Settings > General > Usage > Managed Storage.
    If you see Adobe Reader, tap to go to the next screen.  This is to ensure that Adobe Reader is completely uninstalled from your iPad.  If you do not see Adobe Reader in the list, skip the rest of the steps.
    Tap Delete App to uninstall it.
    Go back to the App Store to download and install Adobe Reader again.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    Since this is an Apple App Store problem, you would have a better chance of getting answers by asking the question in the Apple support forum.

    Good luck.

  • Lion won't install to 2008 iMac

    I think I'm in a sort of OS twilight zone...
    I have two iMacs, an old 2008 model (24 inch) and a new 2012 27 inch or whatever size the bigger one is. The new one is running Mountain Lion. The old one's hard drive died. I'm 99% sure it was running Lion. It had a recent Time Machine back up.
    So I bought and installed a new hard drive. Now I needed to install an OS. Hmmmm. Can't install from the TM back-up. Can't install Lion or try to install Mountain Lion since I got those through the app store. So I dig through my boxes of old stuff and find a retail Leopard install disk. I do have a retail Snow Leopard disk but can't fnd it.
    So I install Leopard on the old machine. Works beautifully. Only I forgot it doesn't have the app store. I try to import the TM back up but no go since the TM back up was done in a newer OS than Leopard. Well, OK...
    So on the new Mac I download the installs for both Lion and Mountain Lion from the app store. Copy them to an external drive and try to use them on the old iMac. Neither will install. Both say that they are not supported on the old machine's architecture. Very odd since I believe Lion was previously installed on this machine and I believe the TM back-up was done in Lion.
    So I'm stuck, I think. How the heck can I restore my TM back-up? Why won't Lion install when my machine seems to meet the specs? This isn't how it should be...
    Help!
    --Darin

    So long as your Mac definitely supports Lion take a look at Pondini's help pages, 'cos it sounds like it should work following these instructions:

    Hey Goingup2,
    Please note that you can activate Acrobat subscription on maximum two computers using your Adobe ID credentials.
    In order to install and activate Acrobat on the second machine, you must first deactivate it on the first machine using the Help menu.
    You might get User Account Control prompt after selecting 'Privilege Level' option under Compatibility tab of Acrobat properties.
    Please check for the same and let me know.

  • Windows 7 won't install on intel imac

    I'm having trouble installing windows 7 ultimate (64 bit) on my imac. it's the 20 inch model from early 2007 (EMC 2133) if that helps.
    It seems that when I try to install the windows 7 OS on my new partition the screen goes black and prompts the message "select CD-ROM boot type" and above that are options 1 and 2, both blank. Also at this point the keyboard does nothing; all I can do is restart the computer.
    When I start up the computer and hold the option key I can see that computer recognizes the disk as "Windows", so I know the disk is fine, but I can't use it to install windows 7.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    I was having trouble myself with my iMac regarding a black screen and a blinking cursor after installation where the iMac would just stay idle. Below are solutions for all iMacs that have a problem with their graphics cards (ATI & NVIDIA).
    Some people complained that they can't find the "repair your computer" from windows DVD. In all cases repeat steps below:
    *Solution 1:*
    If you have a secondary monitor, connect the monitor to the computer before you install Windows 7. Then, you will be able to complete the setup process. After Windows 7 is installed, you can install an updated driver that corrects the eDP issue through Windows Update, Boot-camp or Snow Leopard DVD.
    *Solution 2*
    When doing the repair windows step, it didn't work asking to provide a repair disk or something. I then clicked install driver, browsed to the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers folder and then renamed the ati*.sys file (only one file!) to ati*.renamed (NVLDDMKM.SYS or ATIKMDAG.SYS depending on your iMac)
    Once installed, pop in the Snow Leopard OS DVD and run setup to get all the drivers working.
    This can also be done with an NTFS plug-in (Tuxera, NTFS-3G, Paragon, MacFuse, etc.) that will allow you to see the files on BOOTCAMP on OS X. Follow the same path and rename the file.
    The solution _+*Boot Camp: iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7 using Boot Camp*+_ (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173) didn't work for me...but!!!
    Drag "Drivers" and "AutoUnattend.xml" from the iMacLate_2009_Win7Drivers folder, which was expanded in step 4, to the USB or SD card device's icon to copy the files to it. Do not copy them to any subfolders. (Normal USB or SD, no partition or Master Boot)
    From the Windows 7 installation DVD, start the computer that has the AMD Radeon GPU that uses eDP (or NVIDIA). Immediately connect the USB flash drive after the computer starts from DVD. Follow the instructions to complete the installation process. When the system restarts for the first time, disconnect the USB flash drive.
    If this still doesn't work for you, there a more..:)
    *Solution 3:*
    If you applied solution 2 and you still have problems, try the steps below.
    Solution 2 will make the Windows 7 DVD have the option "Repair your computer" for those who can't see it.
    Repair startup issues
    1. Put the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start your computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted.
    3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then 4. click Next.
    5. Click Repair your computer.
    6. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
    7.In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
    Type (these commands are safe - more information)
    Code: Bootrec.exe /FixMbr
    Code: Bootrec.exe /FixBoot
    Code: Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd
    *Press ENTER after each command.*
    *Restart your computer.*
    That should do the trick! However if you still can't start Windows, then follow step 1 to 6 again and type these commands.
    This has been tested on iMacs with ATI and NVIDIA cards. I hope this helps everyone as it I know how frustrating this process can get!!! Once again, this is a complete guide for most iMacs that support Boot-Camp. (32-bit and 64-bit)
    Good Luck everyone and please let me know if it worked for you.

  • Acrobat won't install updates

    I have installed Adobe creative suite 3 and adobe acrobat 9
    standard. Every time acrobat starts it tells me updates are
    available do you wish to install. I say yes and it tells me that it
    must shut down acrobat to do this. Do you want to continue or
    cancel? I hit continue, it shuts down acrobat and then 30 seconds
    later tells me it was unable to shut down acrobat and that it will
    not install updates. For some reason the installer thinks Acrobat
    is running whenever it tries to install updates even if it is not.
    We have reinstalled my adobe creative suite package and this
    allowed me to run updates in acrobat one time. 2 weeks later I am
    not able to install updates again. Any thoughts on what this could
    be? I am running windows XP.

    Hi,
    These are the forums for acrobat.com so you may have better
    luck at the acrobat forums

  • Acrobat won't install.  Nothing happens

    Every time I download Acrobat or Reader, the download completes successfully.  I click the link, and it asks if I want to run the file.  I click "Run."  It then asks me if I want to allow the program to make changes to my computer.  I click "Yes." 
    Then.... nothing happens.  No pop-ups.  No screen jumps.  No cursor icon suggesting that it's thinking.  The only indication that I get that anything even happened is if I open the Windows Task Manager and check "Processes" and there I do find that the program is running (consuming about 13,000 K of memory).  So, if I try to click the icon again, it tells me that only one instance of the program can run at a single time.  I guess the computer thinks that the program is running.  But nothing happens.  I leave the computer sitting for 30 minutes, and still nothing.
    I used to have Reader on the computer, but I uninstalled it thinking that perhaps it was conflicting with my attempt to install Acrobat.  But now, I get the same response (or lack of response) trying to install either program back on my system.
    I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit.  I have no virus issues and no registry issues.  I did download the .exe file and tried to install it with my Norton firewall turned off, with the exact same nothing as with it turned on.  I have restarted my system several times.
    A phone call to TechSupport was NO help.  Anyone have any other ideas?!!?  I need my computer for work, and I've already lost an entire day without having at least Reader running on my system.  HELP!!!

    Man, I have been at this all day!  For the record I followed the instructions here:
    http://http://forums.adobe.com/message/4041846#4041846 on how to do a clean install of flash player. 
    I even had to download unlocker.  So now I have third party stuff to get rid of -
    CAN ANYONE HELP ME?  I notice other posts that happen after I started posting are getting plenty of responses - is this problem already answered in the forums?  I have searched through them, but if I am missing something obvious, please, please tell me! 
    I am a newbie.  I don't really know anything about computers.  I have just been following the bread crumbs. 
    The problem always comes down to the lack of permissions when installing the activex.vxc.5 in the Windows sysWOW64. 
    The only conclusions i have reached is that the problem is either user control oriented or active x control oriented.
    but i have tried all the roots and it seems my account is not corrupted, and AVG, and or my internet security settings are not disallowing active x installation. 
    so now i am starting to get paranoid that my user account has been hijacked and i am running a shadow or something without complete control. 
    i also forgot to mention that i run CC cleaner now and then - is it possible this has deleted important files?

  • Leopard won't install on PPC iMac G5

    Hello, I've had my iMac G5 (non-intel) since 2005. I've recently upgraded my iphone to a 4, and I want to install Leopard so I can sync with my computer. After going to all the trouble and expense to get the software, I stick it in and click upgrade. I get the language box on the restart, then preparing install, but then I just get a message that says "Mac OSX cannot be installed on this computer. The software cannot be installed on this computer."
    As far as I know, my computer meets the minimum requirements for an upgrade. Any ideas?

    The gray discs are machine-specific, meaning that they will only work on the models of Macs they originally shipped with. They do not have drivers and code for other Macs, meaning they are useless unless they are with the original computer or equivalent model.
    If you call Apple Phone Sales (800 MY APPLE in the US), you can still order a retail version of Leopard for $129. You may be able to find a retail disc elsewhere online, but make sure it is the black disc with the big X on it, not a gray disc.

  • Adobe acrobat won't install - I don't get the user account control prompt

    I have a one year subscription to adobe acrobat XI.  My laptop crashed (motherboard issues), so I am now trying to download acrobat to my new laptop.  Is this allowed?  My subscription has another 6 months on it.
