Adobe reader couldnt install bcse its not supported by file type.what do i do?

I am trying to install adobe flash player 10.1 and I keep getting an error that says:  adobe reader couldt open or install flash player 10 because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been corrupted. I had 8.1 version and I even tried deleting that and installing 10. what do I do?

  • Adobe reader 10.1.2 could not open the file '/C/WINDOWS'

    since adobe reader 10.1.2 urls don't work in pdf files to folders.
    C:\WINDOWS\xy.xls  
    ok
    C:\WINDOWS
    not ok > adobe reader 10.1.2 could not open the file '/C/WINDOWS'
    C:\WINDOWS
    ok > with deactivated protected mode
    no problems with 9.5.0 or 10.1.1 with activated protected mode 
    is that known? any other workaround?
    thanks

    Hi,
         I also have Reader 10.1.2 installed on my machine and I also cannot open a link in the PDF, that will eventually call an exe file. I don't think that there would be different behaviour on your machine. So, I think, now this is the expected behaviour Reader 10.1.2 onwards.

  • Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file

    How do I fix this?

    That would probably be a question best taken up in on a site for Windows support questions. Not knowing anything about the movie you're trying to play, all I can suggest is to confirm that the format of the movie you wish to play is supported in your version of WMP. If it isn't, you'll either need to convert the movie or use some other player software.

  • I can't open Adobe Photoshop CS6 because it is not "supported" on my type of Mac

    For some reason after downloading Adobe Photoshop CS6 from the Creative Cloud it is saying that I cannot open the application because it is not supported by my type of Mac. Is there a way to resolve this? The Mac is on Mac OS X version 10.6.8 I thought that this was enough to run the cloud on. So I'm confused.

    Here is an Apple help article on this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3696.
    If Photoshop is saying it is "not supported" on your computer then unfortunately that is the situation. I would post in the Photoshop forum here http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/general if you have more questions or concerns. They will know all of the details about Mac hardware support for Photoshop.

  • Safari 5.1.7, using Adobe Reader 10.1.3, does not display pdf files.

    I use Safari 5.1.7 and Adobe Reader 10.1.3.  I have mac osx.6.8 which, according to Adobe, is compatible with Adobe Reader 10.1.3.  Selecting a pdf file to display results in a black page.  Why?

    Hi..
    Try removing a plugin...
    Quit Safari.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari to test.

  • Event for not supported sound file type

    Hi,
    Is there an event or error that is dispatched when a user is trying to load a sound file that is not supported?
    When I try to load a ".wav" file (that is not supported) I don't get any event or error that indicates the sound load didn't succeed, it just doesn't load.
    I listen to IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, but it only fires when the file doesn't exist.
    any ideas except checking the extension of the file name?
    thx

  • "you cannot open the application because its not supported on this type of mac" error

    I've used this particular application since I bought my new iMac.  Its an app downloaded from the Internet.  I've tried to uninstall and download multiple times with no luck.  Apple Support advised me to clear out my caches.  I did.  No luck.  Apple Support had me create a "Test User" and the app worked.  How do I get the app to open with my normal username?

    Then it just started acting up?  Did you change anything between then & when the app started acting up?
    Trash the plist file, repair permissions and restart your computer.  Problem resolved?

  • Photoshop CS6 is not supported on this type of Mac (2012 MacBook Air)

    Photoshop won’t launch on the latest MacBook Air 2012, OS 10.8.2, i7, 8GB. Installed the Adobe CS6 (Design/Web). All products work fine (although had to downgrade to Java6 to start Dreamweaver) but the PS icon is greyed out. When launching Photoshop CS6, I’m getting: You can’t open the application “Adobe Photoshop CS6” because it is not supported on this type of Mac”. 

    No idea what  happend. I was installing the CS6 suite on a brand new MBAir. All software was fine, eg, DW, InDesign and so on. Only Photoshop failed. One strange thing was that the MBAir has Java 7 but when launching DW it asked me to install "newer" Java version (?). I did the SMC/PRAM reset. Then uninstalling and installing PS solved the issue.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 is not Supported on This Type of Mac

    I recently got a new iMac and went to reinstal my CS5 Web Premium Student Edition and only installed Dreamweaver. I was able to use it yesterday fine. Today when I booted up. the dreamweaver icon has a anti symbol over it and says "you can't open the application "Adobe Dreamweaver CS5" because it is not supported on this type of mac."
    What went wrong and what do I need to do to fix it? Thanks!

    I am running OSx 10.9 and I do not see anything about Roseta or Intel when viewing the info about the app. After I used DW yesterday fine, I ran the auto updates from within DW and perhaps when I rebooted this morning is when it broke.  I just now uninstalled CS5 and reinstalled DW (I'm not using the other apps). It has updates to do but scared..
    It wants to update the following:
    Adobe Device Central CS
    Adove Dreamweaver
    - Adobe player
    - CS Live Service
    - Dreamweaver CS5 11.0.4 updater
    - Adobe Extension Manager CS5 5.0 update
    I haven't tried yet to update because either that or some other stange thing happened. I've never seen an app with an anti symbol over it.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 "not supported with this type of Mac" problem

    When I try to open Dreamweaver CS6 on my Macbook Pro, it says "You can't open the application Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 because it is not supported with this type of Mac.  I'm not sure if this is a question for Apple, but why would it not work on my Mac?  My Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign and Media Encoder all work just fine.  Any help?  Thanks!
