Adobe Reader Updater 1601:  Anyone know how to rectify?

It just says "the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed"
- AND -
"This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed".
So I'm not clear on whether it is referring to some "generic" Windows installer or to an Adobe-specific installer service.
    *  If generic - I don't have a problem installing windows updates or other software, so I'd think the bug msg is Incorrect in that case.
    * If Adobe-specific - well - I don't where / how to get an adobe-specific installer service on Adobe Reader (anyone else out there know?)

What version of Windows Installer are you using?
Is the Windows Installer service running?

  • My iPhone 3GS won't let me use my mobile data network since the 5.01 update, does anyone know how to rectify this yet??

    Is there a new update from 5.01 that fixes the data network problems yet??

    Straight after upgrading mine to 5.1 this morning, I got a very long SMS from O2 telling me how I can connect to the Internet and check all my settings.
    Maybe worth checking all of yours are still correct. Maybe they know it can cause a problem

  • HT5278 I lost a screen after this update, does anyone know how to fix this?

    I lost a screen after this update, does anyone know how to fix this?  Update iOS 5.1.1  It used to have three screens with icons on them, now only 1.

    No offence, but as with quite a few others, my Iphone stopped charging on mains after iOS 7.0.4 update too.
    Not sure you can categorically advise that "it simply is not a software issue" when so many different people are having the same symptoms after updating their iOS   Just have a quick Google!
    Luckily my (original Apple) cable will still allow recharging via USB to a laptop. So, process of elimination would point to a bricked charger that was working faultlessly up until the iOS 7.0.4 update was applied. Seems quite a stretch to be a coincidence.
    Look forward to an explanation ..... and an update? ......

    What do you mean you're in the process of "downloading the installer for 10.7.3"? If you mean the software update combo, you won't be able to use that to go from 10.7.4 to 10.7.3. The only way you could do that is to reinstall the whole OS from the App Store IF that version is 10.7.3. I don't know if the App store Lion installer includes 10.7.4 already, but if it does, you can't get to 10.7.3 at all.
    As for what you do about your slow machine, there are tips all over the internet. I wrote up some of the basic one's to try here:
    http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/12/05/why-is-my-mac-running-so-slow/
    Other possibilities not mentioned there are either a corrupt install of Lion (solution; re-install from the Recovery disk) or hardware failure (old hard disks and other hardware components can sometimes give out there last after the strain of a new install).

    Hi,
    I am reading your post that those are your specs.
    Is that correct ?
    How are they logged in ?
    PDF link to the Snow Leopard server info
    As you may know you have to set your server to Federate to other servers and may need to invoke the port 7777 for the Proxy65 File Transfer port to allow Server to Server File Transfers.
    See this Flash based view of page 17
    To clarify that:
    The app can do App to App File Transfers (most Jabber apps use port 1080 for this).
    It can be assisted by the Server port if required using the Proxy65 File Transfer item.
    However the other end still needs to be logged in to an App rather than  Web Login (Google, Facebook) and be an App that can do File Transfers.

  • When opening the Coloursync utility and pressing the verify button, I received an error message stating that the Tag 'cprt':Text tag has an incorrect length which could not be fixed as the file is locked. Does anyone know how to rectify this?

    When opening the Coloursync utility and pressing the verify button, I received an error message (copy below) stating that the Tag 'cprt':Text tag has an incorrect length which could not be fixed as the file is locked. Does anyone know how to rectify this?
    Checking 25 profiles...
    /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/iMac-00000610-0000-9C6C-0000-000004271B00.i cc
       Tag 'cprt': Text tag has an incorrect length.
       The file is locked. Could not be fixed.

    Hi guys,
    I followed the steps to unlock the .icc file in the "getinfo" screen then went on clicking repair in colorsync utility.
    This is the message i got:
    Searching for profiles...
    Checking 17 profiles...
    /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/Color LCD-00000610-0000-9CF3-0000-000004273CC0.icc
       Tag 'cprt': Text tag has an incorrect length. Fixed.
    Repair done - 1 profiles fixed.
    However, when i hit verify again it shows up like this:
    Searching for profiles...
    Checking 17 profiles...
    /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/Color LCD-00000610-0000-9CF3-0000-000004273CC0.icc
       Tag 'cprt': Text tag has an incorrect length.
    Verify done - found 1 bad profile.
    ... and it keeps like this sine die.
    when i open the .icc file it shows up like this:
    3     'cprt'     'text'     35     Copyright ASCII Text String
    New to mac so I really don't know what to do.
    I didn't get this message so far. What i did before getting this message was to open a jpeg file. I wanted to edit it so when i did right click on the file i went to open with, and colorsync came as an option; so i chose it.
    Then this message started comming up.
    Is there anything i can do?
    Thabks for the support.

    This procedure will check for files in your home folder that are locked or have a wrong owner. It makes no changes and will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    Launch the Terminal 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.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    find . -flags +uchg,uappnd -o ! -user $UID
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    If any personal information appears in the output, edit before posting, but don’t remove the context.

    I have a power PC processor g5 and cannot load adobe flashplayer.  Does anyone know how?

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
    Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • Can't seem to change the Document Properties Advanced Reading Options in a Form that was created in Adobe LiveCycle. This option has been "greyed" out - anyone know how to update this to English so I can pass Accessibility Testing?

    Can't seem to change the Document Properties > Advanced > Reading Options in a Form that was created in Adobe LiveCycle. This option has been "greyed" out - anyone know how to update this to English so I can pass Accessibility Testing?

    LiveCycle forms use a very different approach to create a PDF form than Acrobat and that approach makes many features for processing PDFs non-functional.
    You might want to ask this question in one of the LiveCycle product forums.
