Adobe Reader 9 Won't Install Mac OS X Intel

I've uninstalled. I reinstalled. I tried to install from a disc burned from another computer. I've downloaded it via different browsers. Every time I get an error message "Adode Reader could not install correctly. Adode Reader was unable to install and must quit."
I'm at a loss.
Any ideas?

First thing to try is to install as a different administrative user. If
that fails, then try to fix permissions. If you have it, try running
Applejack and let it clear your cache's. If that doesn't work, I'd try
to install as root. If that fails, I would recommend an archive and
install of the OS.

  • Adobe Reader won't open  Tried installing updated Adobe Reader and error came up in the process and told me to contact software manufacturer.  Could I uninstall current Adobe Reader and then try installing the current AR?  Any ideas?

    My Adobe Reader wouldn't download tickets.  Tried opening Adobe Reader application but it would not open.  I saw my Adobe Reader needed to be updated, so I attempted to install new Adobe Reader.  When it came to finalizing, it said there is an error and can't do.  Any ideas?  I have no functioning Adobe reader.  Should I uninstall old Adobe Reader and then try installing the updated AR?

    I have installed Adobe Reader 11.0.07 for Mac OS 10.9.3. Have asked this question numerous time without results. The problems I am having are: I cannot scroll using the side slider on downloaded PDF files, nor can I fill in fillable files. Also, and this is extremely irritating, I cannot re-initialize the same file or initialize and another PDF file after I have initialized the first file. If you cannot help please let me know if should use an earlier  version of Reader or find anther company that has the appropriate software.

    Perhaps you missed that you started a discussion at I have OS 10.9.2 and have downloaded latest version of Reader 11. I can no longer fill in form or scroll using the side bar. and you did not respond to the last post there.

  • Adobe reader x won't open in xp

    adobe reader x won't open in xp.. I have uninstalled and reloaded it still will not work

    I did the following and it fixed the problem...
    Let us assign permissions to the C drive(or the drive where you have installed the OS) and then check.
    To apply permissions to a file or folder for a user:
    a. Right-click on the C drive and then click Properties.
    c. Click the Security tab, and then click Edit.
    d. Do one of the following:
        i. To set permissions for a user that is not listed under Group or user names, click Add, type the name of the user or group, click OK, select the permissions, and then click OK.
        ii. To change or remove permissions from an existing group or user, click the name of the group or user, select the permissions, and then click OK.

  • Adobe Reader XI won't launch, can't download or open existing PDF files.

    Running Windows 7 and have had no trouble with PDF files until few weeks ago.  Now Adobe Reader Xi won't execute and I can't download or open existing PDF files using Adobe.  Interesting that I can open existing PDF files unsit PaintShop Pro X4 but not in Adobe.  Have unistalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader XI several times with no change in problem.

    You can try using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement

  • Adobe Reader/Acrobat Is not Installed

    I get an error on machines on our work network that says Adobe Reader/Acrobat is not installed. However most cases it is installed on the machine and in most cases it turns out to be the 8.1.1 version of Adobe reader. So what we have noticed is that the permissions do not seem to be right with the .pdf file extention. We manually add the users, power users group to the file extention and then we grant them full control over the extention and in most cases that as well will not work. The next step would be to uninstall 8.1.1 Adobe reader and then reboot. Upon the restart we will log on and install the 8.1.2 update. Sometimes this works but then again I have noticed that the users, power users group is not in the .pdf file extention. Then we will add them in and yet the user will still have the same error message. We have fun out of ideas and the other bad scenario is that this is free software and its very difficult to get support for. Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi snoreaustralia,
    It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help
    Best,

  • Adobe Reader 9 will not install on MacBookPro

    After downloading the proper Adobe Reader 9 for my MacBookPro (Intel processor), I get the message " Adobe Reader 9 cannot be installed on this computer. Make sure your system meets the requirements." Anyone else have the same problem? Please help.
    Suresh

    OK, I just realized the mix up in my earlier posting/s :-(
    The *****.ppc.pkg is the powerpc version which I had downloaded earlier and the ******.i386 is the intel version which is the correct version for my MacBookPro. I use Firefox browser, and at first I thought that since Adobe was not in its list of allowed sites, it was preventing installation. However that is not the case, since the problem persists even after I added Adobe to the list of allowed sites, and even when I downloaded using Safari!
    Mike, yes, I have rebooted a number of times, but have not yet tried to reinstall the OS from the disc. I do not quite understand what you mean by different administrative user; I am the only user. I just downloaded applejack and supposedly it was installed on volume HD, but I do not see it anywhere! Another mystery.

  • CS3 InDesign won't install, Mac  OS 10.5

    I've just received CS3 Design premium, and InDesign won't install. There is no reason given, just that it won't install. Shared components and Version Cue Server won't install either. I just upgraded to Leopard on a g5 Intel system. Any ideas on what to do next?

    CS3 InDesign won't install, Mac OS 10.5
    Hi Darlene,
    I think I just got lucky - it hesitated a few times then finally clicked.
    One of the previous posters suggested to not install Version Cue, so I
    clicked that one off. Did you repair the permissions and restart before
    installing? Spin around 3 times clicking your heels saying, there's no
    program like InDesign?
    If you can stay in InD 2 I would suggest that, expecially if you use a lot
    of clipping paths. InD3 has a bug there that won't see interior paths, so
    you have to go back into Photoshop to rework the image. If I had only know
    that before.....
    Good luck!

  • Adobe Reader X refuses to install - indexing service filter daemon

    I have closed all applications, but Adobe Reader X refuses to install, saying that something called "indexing service filter daemon" is open.  How do I get around this?

    This is how I got around this install issue:
    During install with the Indexing Service Filter Daemon message still open;
    1) right click on My Computer
    2) select Manage
    3) double click Services and Applications
    4) right click Indexing Service
    5) select pause
    6) in the Adobe X install message window, select Retry
    It will have you reboot after install and it should automatically restart the service that you just paused.  If not, repeat the steps and select Start instead of Pause.
    Hope that helps.
