Clicking "Download now" on the "Download a free trial of Acrobat X Pro" is not working. Any help?

Clicking "Download now" on the "Download a free trial of Acrobat X Pro" is not working. Any help? I even opened an account and logged in and it still did not work.

What? I don't understand if you are asking me a question or telling me what to do. I am using IE9 and when I clicked the "Download now" button, a new tab did not open or anything like that nor did another window open.

IMessage (Macbook pro) suddenly not working!?

My imessage from my macbook pro is not working! When I send a message, it automatically displays a red exclamation point and the name of the person I am sending it to turns red. When I click on that it tells me that their number is not registered with imessage! I've sent imessages before (today even) and I don't know what happened. I think I may have messed with some preferences because I was trying to change security preferences, but maybe I accidentally clicked something I shouldn't have? I know it is me because I get the same error for every person I try to message. It works from my phone, though.

This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
Step 1
Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
Step 2
Sign out of iMessage on all your Apple devices. Log out and log back in. Try again to sign in.
Step 3
Restart your broadband device and your router, if different. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
Step 4
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
Step 5
Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
Step 6
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
Step 7
Select from the menu bar
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
and click
Block all sites from storing information on this computer
Close the preference pane.
Step 8
Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage" in the name. Log out and log back in.
Step 9
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
Step 10
Boot in safe mode and log in. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
If iMessage worked in safe mode, but didn't work when you booted out of safe mode, stop here and post your results.
Step 11
Reset the NVRAM.
Step 12
Reinstall OS X.
Step 13
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support.

Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Suddenly Not Working....

Adobe Acrobat 8.0 has been working fine on my PC for months. Then late in the day Tuesday, November 9th, I have a problem. When I got to open the program, I get the message "Adobe Acrobat 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." When I try to open the program, I see the top menu and then it stalls. A few seconds later is when I get the message.
I have gotten this message before usually after I've tried opening a bad file or something. Usually Acrobat is OK after I try and open up another file or just the program itself. This time that is not working. I turned my PC completely off and then powered it back on and it still will not run (still getting the "Adobe Acrobat 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." message).
I did notice that there was some kind of update notification coming through on Tuesday but I didn't install it. I just closed the notice down. It was shortly afterwards that I found I could not open Acrobat 8. I opened up Adobe Reader and saw that there was an update for Acrobat 8 available. I DID the update but it is still not running.
Nothing on the Internet seems to help. I've checked the compatibility box, unchecked it to no avail. Any answers to this? If I need to provide additional information, I'll be happy to give it.
Thank you for any assistance you can provide. I use this program a LOT.

UPDATE: After a LOT of runaround, a "tech" person where I work got Acrobat 8 to work without getting the "Adobe Acrobat 8.0 has encountered a problem..." message. Alas, this was not the end of my headache.
When Adobe Acrobat was working well (just two short days ago), when I needed to scan a document I would select CREATE PDF then FROM SCANNER and the Acrobat Scan pop-up screen would appear. I would see my network scanner which is a Ricoh model number IS330DC and that model number is what I would see next to the Scanner: box on the Adobe Scan pop-up screen.
After they re-installed Adobe 8, I could see this scanner listed but when I select it, after a couple of seconds I get a message that says:
Twain Driver Ver.3
9745:
Error has occurred in the scanner
After I press OK I get this message:
Adobe could not communicate to this device
So the tech guy goes to the Ricoh site, gets the drivers for the scanner, deletes the old ones that were on my C:\ drive and reinstalls these new ones.
And it still didn't work.
THEN the tech guy logs onto my PC using his account (which I think has more "rights" like an administrator than I do). He goes through the same process as I've written above (uninstalls Adobe 8, reinstalls it. Does the same with the Ricoh drivers for the IS330DC model). He then goes to do a scan and voila: it works fine. Just as it did before.
BUT then when I log back onto my PC using my login ID, it doesn't work. I get the same messages that I got before about the 9745: Error and such.
Now the tech thinks that it has to do with my User ID (or my account). He wants to create another account on my PC (and move all my C:\ data to it). This will take a long time and I hate it when tech people do this kind of thing because I invariably lose something that I really need. And he can't guarantee that this will work. The last thing he'll do after this is give me a new PC. Great -- all of this because of a seemingly minor Adobe Acrobat problem?
If I got to another person's PC and login using my ID and password, I am able to use Adobe Acrobat and the scanner with no problems.
Does anyone have any idea how this might be fixed without having to resort to (what I think are) my tech guy's drastic measures?

My Acrobat X Pro does not work simultaneously with Reader 9

Hi,
I save a word file to pdf.
I am reading it via Reader 9.
Simultaneously I open Acrobat X Pro to access the same file in an attempt for some editing work - and then the X Pro never boot up again.
Any help?
hkjhht

Thanks Rave.
I called the customer hotline. Special thanks to the gentleman Grandy who is absolutely patient in leading me to solve out the problem.
The final solution is to uninstall X Pro, using the clean up software to remove the Reader 9 and any residue of X Pro, and then reinstall the X Pro again, and to abandon the Reader.
Thanks and everything is fixed again.

Updating Acrobat 9 Pro does not work

Hello,
i'm trying to update Acrobat 9.0 Professional.
I already tried the atomatic update, but it was stuck somewhere and it made no further progress.
Now I downloaded all the update files und tried to update Acrobat manually, but it's also stucked.
The last thing the updater says is "Updating files.... Current file: AcroIEHelper.dll Remaining time: 19 minutes"
But the updater says that for some hours for now.
Do someone know this problem and/or knows a solution?

Ok, I now got to version 9.3.1
But the procedure was some kind of weird:
(I don't know if this is working everytime)
1.) Deactivating Antivirus and firewall
2.) Logging in as Administrator: Starting the manual update -> Known Error
3.) Restarting computer
4.) Logging in as User (with Admin-Rights): Starting the manual update
Now the installer reports a running installation (from the adminstrator-account)
and ask to remove it.
Now click "yes"
The installation proceeds successfully.

Why does Acrobat suddenly not work on my Mac (won't open pdf files from a web page), yet I can open them from my iPhone? Everything worked fine yesteray.

Hello:
I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
Many thanks.

Are you facing downloading issues or installation issues?
Are you getting any error message?
Are you downloading the installer from Adobe official website or from any third party website?

Acrobat X Pro suddenly no Adobe PDF printer available within applications

I have been using X Pro for 2 months following installation of CS5.5 Premium. I used to be able to print-to-file using the Adobe PDF printer in the print dialog box from within apps such as Word and Finale. Suddenly that option is absent from my print dialog box in all apps.

Hi Bill,
I'm SO glad I tried your HELP suggestion first because un- and re-installing was going to be my next step and I dreaded it, and now, given the info you provide below, it appears it was a good thing I didn't do it. Thanks for the further information. I keep a log to refer to when gremlins like this pop up and this is going into it ASAP!!!

Great. We often hear of folks having uninstalled and reinstalled and problems not going away. The repair is the first line of defense if you have not been able to track down a problem. The last line is a reinstall. One of the problems with reinstalls is that folks do not clean up the system before the install. That clean up should include removal of all latent folder parts left by Acrobat and also running a registry cleaner (MS used to have one, but it is not longer available -- making CCleaner the typical cleanup). So if you have problems in the future, try to trouble shoot it and come to the forum if you need help. Sometimes, the repair is a quick fix, and lastly with no other answers do the reinstall--BUT with the cleanup along the way. Again, glad it worked for you.

Acrobat 9 Pro will NOT install (CS4 Design Premium)

Acrobat 9 Pro will NOT install (CS4 Design Premium)
Acrobat Pro 9 will not install (FAILED), although every other program on the CS4 DVDs did install properly.
I have followed the instructions, and have tried with no programs running, not even virus protection (which is an insane thing for Adobe to demand of a product being installed where the installation routine is expecting an Internet connection): FAILED.
I uninstalled my Acrobat 6 Pro, (a standalone Pro version that I had to have a few years ago.) I uninstalled that working program knowing I had no idea where my original Adobe Acrobat CD is located, so I was essentially cutting myself off of Acrobat Pro if the Acrobat 9 Pro install continued to fail.
I reported this to Adobe support online.
I have followed the instructions to disable startup items and services, then tried the Acrobat 9 Pro install: FAILED.
At that point, I gave up installing Acrobat 9 Pro. I didn't have any more time to screw with it - I would re-visit the installation failure later.
Lo and behold, a client sent me a PDF file of a brochure, in an email, and I had to grab some text from it to put on his website (Done in Dreamweaver CS4.) Well, damn, now I'll have to go back and get that install to work...FAILED!
Suspecting a problem in the installation routine on the DVD, I decided to download the trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro. So, I did. It downloaded and installed without a hiccup, and I had Acrobat 9 Pro working for 30 days...
I did what I had to do, using the trial version, then figured I would re-visit the installation issue later, when I had a few hours to dedicate to all the hell of calling Adobe software support, handholding, maybe registry edits, multiple reboots, and multiple attempts at doing everything again, just so the support person would know that I did follow all the steps correctly to prove thw outcome is sill FAILED!
Oh crap, I got another PDF file. No problem, I thought, I don't need to edit the PDF, just read it. When I tried to open the file, Acrobat 9 Pro plastered a screen over the program - the screen saying my 30 day trial version has now run out, demanded a serial number, or quit. My CS4 serial number would not activate it, and so I had to quit, not even being able to read the PDF file.
So, I un-installed the trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro that had installed without a hitch and had worked flawlessly for 30 days.
Now I'm going to have to visit hell, and get the software that I paid hundreds of dollars for to work...
Please STOP and NOTE: Acrobat 9 Pro installed perfectly from the downloaded Internet version. What does that tell you? There are no operating system issues, no hardware compatibility issues (which I knew anyway, as the OS and hardware is up to date.) Even more significantly, there is no issue with the Windows registry, or other versions of Adobe Acrobat that had been installed before in the machine. My conclusion was that it has to be a problem with the installation routine on the CS4 disks.
So, I spent an hour on the phone with Adobe personnel: software support, to customer service, to sales, to customer service, and back to sales. After software support came to the conclusion that I needed to UNINSTALL ALL OF CS4, and run a clean-up utility, I knew I had to try getting a new set of DVDs and hope the installation routine problems/bugs had been worked out.
After being batted back and forth by Adobe Customer Service and Adobe Sales, I finally got someone to agree to send a set of DVDs to me.
I got the DVDs. I tried to install Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro: FAILED
As I told the software support person, I do not want to un-install the entire CS4 suite. I have all of those programs working fine, and have about a dozen web sites within Dreamweaver CS4 painstakingly set up and active, and some of them are current projects that I am working on daily. I also have multiple extensions installed, and spent quite a bit of time getting all of those programs set up for my preferences and my work flow. I DO NOT WANT to uninstall the entire suite of applications to get Acrobat 9 Pro to install.
And the conclusion of the "sophisticated" Adobe Support Advisor as to what specifically was the instalation issue?
Adobe Support Advisor
The module found no solutions to report for the selected log file.
If you continue to have difficulties with the application,
please contact Adobe Support: http://www.adobe.com/support
System Information :
Operating System = Windows XP
Locale = en
At this point, what I want is to know what registry keys to edit and which folder(s) to delete to eliminate previous traces of Acrobat. In other words, just exactly the tiny piece of the "clean-up utility" that I need to run in order to allow the *Y#^%@#&#(& installation routine to work for Acrobat 9 Pro. I have no intention of uninstalling Dreamweaver CS4, as that is my business livlihood, and I know that my Dreamweaver CS4 client files/sites could not be read by earlier Dreamweaver versions. Asking me to uninstall Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, InDesign, and Fireworks is insane. Your bad installation routine is not my fault, and you cannot expect me spend countless hours getting all those programs set up the way I want and with all my client/work files working correctly and all the extensions set up properly. So, if Adobe software support refuses to tell me what registry keys need to be changed, then I want Adobe Sales to send me a new, standalone version of Acrobat 9 Pro on disk.

I hit the same problem except I had a Reader X installed not a pro version. For me the solution was to really make sure that nothing else was running. I followed the steps from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651#reso2 the link is goofy so here is the pertinent text:
