Acrobat X won't install on Mac 10.8.2

Got a shiny new MacBook Pro. Copied over my CS6 programs from previous Mac. Got errors on some of my programs, so I re-installed the CS6 suite. Went to use it. All programs up and running, but can't find Acrobat. Anywhere. Tried to install just Acrobat again. No dice. Restarted. Uninstalled and re-installed entire suite. Again no Acrobat. Restarted. Tried again to re-install three times.
I just want to use F*ing Acrobat to update a file. Thank you Adobe for screwing up three days' worth of deadlines. About to pull out my hair. I am starting to lose my faith in Adobe. Do they really want to go the way of Quark (didn't care about customers, put profit first, etc.)?
Any help you all could give would be much appreciated.

So you does the CS6 installer report that Acrobat wasn't installed when you do the attempt? My guess is that it does report it, but that's neither here nor there. Do a little test and report the results back to the Forum. Open the Terminal app on Mac OS X. Type "sudo" without the quotes and hit the Return/Enter key. Do your results look something like this:
sudo: can't open /private/etc/sudoers: Permission denied
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
If so, then you have a Mac OS X Permissions issue and need to call Apple to help fix it at the command line.

Acrobat XI won't install in English

Acrobat XI won't install in English. How do I change that?

Hi,
I have few questions for you :
1. Are you on windows or Macinstosh OS.
2. By default Acrobat installs in OS language. So I would want to know what is your OS language. Is some language pack applied by default?
3. In case of windows OS, You can choose language of installation by double-clicking "Setup.exe". A pop-up windows comes up which has list of languages. Choose the language to be installed in this drop-down and only that language will be installed.
4. In case you have already Installed Acrobat, you can change display language by going to Edit -> Preferences - > Language. In the drop-down against application Language : Choose the option "Choose at Application start-up". Close Acrobat. Launch it again. A drop-down will be presented. Choose "English" here.
OR,
Press down CTRL + SHIFT and Double-click Acrobat shortcut. A drop-down will be presented to select the display language.

Win7 won't install in Mac mini SL w/no optical drive, crashes when accessing external HD

I've been trying to install win7 on my Mac Mini with 10.6.8 that doesn't have an optical drive. I've been able to do the bootcamp partition just fine but when it goes to restart into the windows partition with the win7 disk in the external HD, my screen goes grey, then a green with purple border and then black. I have to reboot and if I press the alt/opt key, I'm able to get into OSX again. The research I've done shows I need to create a .iso file which I did with disk utility. I created all types of .iso files, read only, compressed and dvd.cdr files. Nothing is working. Bootcamp is not recognizing any of the 5 thumb drives I've put the .iso files on as I read some drives aren't able to be recognized. The external HD works as I reinstalled SL just fine using it. My research also shows that win7 won't install from an external HD. So I'm at a a loss as to how to proceed from here. I went into my old windows machine to try to create a bootable thumb drive after I install win7 there but the Dell is so old, I don't have a DVD drive in it, only a CD drive. And if I buy a downloadable version of win7 I still need to get it to a DVD or a thumb drive to get it installed.
Does anyone have any ideas? I called Apple and their support ended at "well, we did our job by getting you to the BootCamp partition" which is a crock. It's their design to take out the optical drive and now it's everyone else's problem! Sorry, I know I've got attitude but I'm so frustrated!!
Thanks in advance! I'm posting this here and in bootcamp discussion.

Hatter helped me out without even knowing he helped me out. In cruising through the archives, he advised another problem seeker to unplug everything except 1 monitor, a mouse and a keyboard. Which I did and that solved my problems at last. I also burned my .iso file to a DVD with my MBP and it was able to be read by the external HD. So keep searching the forums peeps, your answer may be there after all!

Adobe acrobat 8 won't install with Indesign and Dreamweaver CS4

I have a client who I had to build a new computer for which is Windows XP Pro. On her original machine I had AA8, InDesign CS4, DreamWeaver CS4, Contribute CS5, Adobe Reader 9.3 and Adobe Photoshop 6. I have tried puting AA8 on the new machine that has all of the above on it and I get a response that I have a newer version of AA and it won't install. I don't have any AA on this machine so I'm not sure what to do. She says she can't edit PDFs or combine them and that she can't create a PDF ind Word and Xcel and edit them. Should I tell her to upgrade to AA9 so that it is compatible to the CS4/5 products?
Thanks,
Lgarn

Thank you Bill for replying.
I have been able to install the disc but it tells me that I have to activate it with a time limit of 30 days and counting. Activation fails each time I've tried. As I'm nearing the end of the time limit I decided to contact Adobe for advice. They gave me a download package and new serial number but it's only suitable for OS XP and Windows 2000 so I'm unable to download it. I was told by the advisor if I still had problems to use the forum as a means of support so that's why I'm talking to people here.
I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobate Pro 7, so I might try reinstalling the disc to see if it gives me another 30 days grace, that, at least, would be a way around it.
I'll now follow the link you've given me. Though I do suspect I'm in a bit of a cul de sac.

Google tool bar won't install on Mac OS 10.4.11

Mac OS 10.4.11. Was using earlier Firefox then installed 3.6.8 and now many add-ons won't work but mostly I need Google tool bar which won't install. Also no autofill.

Jeff, there was nothing under logs/Adobe/installers. Instead, I had to scroll through "All reports" and find the log there. Under Adobe, I only found Reader updater and the CC Cleaner protocoll:
The protocoll for the installation attempt looks like this:

Acrobat XI won't install if My Documents is redirected

We've seen this issue with Adobe Acrobat as well as HP print drivers and a few other installers. To say it is frustrating is an understatement. Hoping someone can shed some light on this.
As a standard part of our workstation setups, we edit the properties on the My Documents library and change it's location from C:\users\username\documents to H:\Documents (H: is mapped to a network "home" drive for each user). This ensures that the user's files are saved on the network, where they get backed up daily.
However, several installers seem to take issue with this and won't install, saying they can't find the H: drive. Adobe's installer is among the guilty parties.
We have a work-around for the issue... we change the My Documents library back to it's default c: drive location. Run the install, then re-direct it back to the network volume after the install completes. We have observed that the installer writes nothing to this path (even checking hidden/system files), so it obviously doesn't really need this path to function.
What is the issue here, and why hasn't Adobe and other vendors addressed it? We know we aren't the only company who redirects libraries in this manner. It's good practice to safeguard your users data. Why do the installers barf on this?
Inquiring minds want to know!

Canon MF4890 Drivers Won't Install On Mac Running Mavericks

I just purchased an MF4890. I use a Macbook Pro running Mavericks. The disk that came with the printer doesn't support Mavericks and when I download the drivers from the Canon website, they won't install. If I keep the driver image on my Mac desktop, the printer will print for a time -- but then it no longer sees the printer. This isn't normal. I should be able to eject the disk image (as in every other application), and the app/drivers should be installed on my mac. When I as much as created a folder on my desktop and moved the disk images into the folder (print/fax/scan), the mac no longer sees the printer (wireless).
Help! Does this printer support Mavericks?

Hi BonnieBoop.
The imageCLASS MF4890dw does support printing on the OS X Mavericks operating system. You should be able to open on the Mac_MF_Ver1010_00.dmg file and run the installer package. The icon looks like an open brown box. Next just follow the steps to install the driver.
If you are not able to see this information or if the setup does not allow you to save the information, we recommend that you contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666) and a live technical support representative will be glad to assist you.
Have a good day.

Flashplayer won't install in Mac OS X

I noticed that a few flash things wouldn't play in Firefox so tried to update Flashplayer, which didn't work.
It downloads onto my computer and I enter my password to install it, but then nothing happens.
So, I decided to uninstall Flashplayer and try again, but now it still won't install and I have no Flashplayer, so nothing works.
Help.

Desktop Manager won't install on Mac

Would think I'm just missing something obvious but I give up.
I have administrative privileges.
Download the dmg package from BB's website without problem and opens fine. (yes, it's the Mac version, not the PC version)
Click on "Install BlackBerry Desktop software.app" and get the usual warning pop-up that it is "…an application downloaded form the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?"
I click on "Open" and NOTHING happens (other than this pop-up window goes away).
I've closed all other programs when installing and made sure there isn't another pop-up window (hidden behind the active windows) waiting for my to respond.
I've checked the Applications folder for ANY new listings (even if it's not called something obvious like BlackBerrry Desktop Manager) and don't find anything installed/changed.
The Mac is using the Terminal program to open this Unix-exec file.
If I click on the "Uninstall BlackBerry Desktop software.app", it responds by saying it cannot find the program installed. (That tells me both that the installation package isn't entirely corrupt but that the program never actually installed)
Using Mac OS 10.6.7.
There is no antivirus/antimalware program running during installation.
Anybody have any idea what I'm missing for what should be a simple process?

After I have restart the next, the DM installer start to work. Maybe give it a try on restart computer?

Adobe Acrobat XI won't install on the specified drive

I have Creative Cloud settings set to install all application on drive D: because C: drive is low on space. I have Muse and Photoshop already installed on drive D: but when I try to install Acorbat XI it tries to install it on C: and i get an "insufficient disk space" error.
Why do all the other application install on D: as specified in the settings, but Acrobat keeps trying to install on C:?
How can i fix this?

Moving this discussion to the Acrobat Installation & Update Issues forum.
Urshah it is likely that Acrobat is not recognizing the custom install location due to the utilization of different installation technology than the majority of Adobe Creative software titles included in a Creative Cloud Membership.
I would recommend uninstalling Acrobat utilizing the process listed in Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.
You can then download a copy of Acrobat 11 Professional from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X. You can select a custom install location and install Acrobat in trial mode. Once installed please choose the option to License this Software and enter the Adobe ID tied to your membership. You can find additional details at Convert Creative Suite 6 applications to Creative Cloud membership.

LR5 won't install on mac ox10.6.8

bought into the cloud for photographers. Photoshop cc loaded just fine and works great. Lightroom 5 will not install. tried safe mode, creating a root user. still not installing. Shouldn't be this difficult.

saw my answer on another question of the same problem. Lightroom 5 needs Mac OS 10.7. My current 10.6.8 won't do it.

Flash Player 10 won't install on Mac

I am running a Mac ibook g4 with Mac OS X V.10.4.11. I am trying to upgrade to flash player 10. In the process I uninstalled player 9 and downloaded player 10. I get the Adobe Flash Player.pkg and when I try to open it to run it it tries to open in word. I am sure it is not installed on my computer because I can no longer run any video on Youtube, I have retired to install player 9 and I run into the same problem. Is there something that I am doing wrong? Do I not want to run that file? How do I get my computer to replay videos without installing Firefox? Thank you.

Hi juano, I'm shaking my head here:-) Strange indeed. Were you able to locate the SWF for Flash Player and Shockwave Player?
They MUST be there and enabled, otherwise even tho this test indicates installed. My opinion is that the tests are looking at the Flash Player and Shockwave Player files. And evidently those files are installed. This has happened many many times with the PC's. I have had too many users report what you are and the tests show installed, but not working. If the
SWF's are not enabled, or the ActiveX Control that is used in IE, then FP will not work. As soon as they enable it, problem
solved. Now, granted that doesn't mean there may not be another problem even with the SWF & ActiveX Control enabled.
This is just something that must be confirmed before proceeding to find what other problem there may be.
This is a different test site from Adobe and it is the one the other Mac user tested on with FF and it told him he needed an
additional plug-in, which was the SWF and it was missing. It wouldn't hurt to try only using FF and it only tests for the Flash Player SWF plug-in, not the Shockwave Player.
http://adobe.com/software/flash/about
Now this test will only tell you that FP is installed and IF the SWF plug-in is missing. If you have the SWF installed, but not Enabled, it won't tell you that. That is why I wanted you to find those SWF plug-ins to make sure they were enabled. If I knew where they were located in Mac, I would tell you. I am guessing here, but I think they are in the Library where any other plug-ins are, as Quicktime, etc.
Thanks,
