Adobe Reader XI Update failed. How to fix?

When my windows 7 64 bit computer was updated to adobe reader XI, the update function began to continually fail. I am getting the following "Adobe Reader Updater" message:
"Update Failed An error occured. Please check for updates again later. Error: 111500"
This message annoyingly pops up when adobe attempts to check for updates automatically. I also get this message anytime I manually check for updates. I have tried to "check for updates later" a million times with no luck. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Reader a million times. I have also uninstalled, utilized the adobe reader removal tool for removal of older versions, and reinstalled a million times. I have also tried reinstalling the older versions. Still, whether i am using version XI or an older version of Reader, I always get the above message when I request an update. Please Help!

This error means that Updater could not create download folder under C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\ARM
Most likely you have special\corrupted permissions at C:\Users\All Users level
Or some sort of Antivirus type program keeps this folder locked.
You have 2 choices
1. Fix permissions\locking issue
2. Download Updates manually and install them every time they are released - http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/release-note/release-notes-acrobat-reader.html
If you choose later, you can disable Updater automatic modes from Edit\Preferences\Updater menu.
Good luck

My computer locks up when attempting to print an Adobe Reader XI file. How do I fix this??

My computer locks up when attempting to print an Adobe Reader XI file. How do I fix this??

adobe reader 11.0.10 windows 7 home edition Everything was working fine, but I got a "communication not available error" and rebooted the wifi. The next day, when I went to print, after selecting the number of copies etc, I clicked on "print". The next screen is the progress report "Printing xxx.file.", and nothing happens. The computer is completely lock and I have to reboot. I can print excel and word files, but no pdf files, either from the internet or one of my documents. I have tried saving the internet pages and then printing later, but that doesn't work either. One suggestion was to go to edit, preferences, security enhanced and turn off enable. That worked for one document ( a test) from my computer, but when I tried another file, no go

Adobe Reader Search function fails

@@I'm using Adobe Reader Version 11.0.10 under Windows 7 64-Bit SP1 with all actual updates. When i try to search any word or Phrase of contained in the text of a specific PDF File, then the search Fails. It does not come up with the search item i have keyed in. I did not misspell the search item and it is definitely contained in the text, but the search function does not find it. i am absolutely surethat the search item is in text Format and it is contained in the PDF file, because i can Access and search it when i open this PDF file on an iPad for instance. there it works, but not in my Windows envioenment.
I guess that this problem will not be completely new for you, because other users are discussing this Problem in the Internet as well.
Can you help me with an answer and hopefully with a recommendation on how to overcome this Problem.
thanks in advance and
Kind regards
Guenther
p.s.:
sorry, i am new on thjis platform... how when aproximatrely does one get an answer here?

Hello Pat,
i followed your advise and have used the link contained in point 3 of
your recommendations --- for reference see your response as appended
below (https://cloud.acrobat.com/).
So, in case i made no mistake (?), then you can access the PDF file we
are talking about when you follow this link here:
https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/0f9d2ce4-b4b9-4223-8fd2-723441d7d2ab***
This PDF file contains a description of an olympus camera. When you open
this PDF file please go to page 6.
Directly under the picture on top of the page (which shows a dark blue
car driving from left to right) you can read the word "Mitziehmodus"
(without parantheses). This german word is one of those search items
which the PDF search function of my PDF reader installation does not
find. There are many other words the search function does not find as
well, but let us use this word (Mitziehmodus) as an example to
demonstrate the malfunction as i experience it on my pc.
Meanwhile i have installed a completely new windows-system 7 from
scratch. The PDF reader (11.0.10) is currently the only installed
software. I made this windows 7 installation only to assure that there
is no other software eventually influencing the search function. But the
search function fails again when searching for this word "Mitziehmodus".
One remark still to your statements concerning accented characters.
Character like ä, ö, ü or ß are quite normal characters in writing
german language text. But these characters can not be found also! In
general it does not make much sense to serach for a single character (at
least in my understanding). Searching for ä or ö or ü results in finding
something completely meaningless. But this behaviour shows additionally
that there is something wrong with the search function as it ist
implemented in Adobe Reader.
In general i am convinced that this PDF file will be correct ,
because i can search any search item and find correct search results
when i access this file on my iPad regardless in what so ever combination.
i hope that you can access the problem PDF file following the link i
sent you above.
And i would be happy wehen you could find thze reason for my search
problems.
thank you so far. i appreciate to heare from you soon.
kind regards
Günther

Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe

Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe reader installation error. null. tried using adobe cleaning tool. using XP sp3. seems that adobe 11 is not completely uninstalling. this is because when adobe reader 11 is removed from add/remove program. when pc is rebooted, adobe reader 11 entry comes back but it is like false entry as no size given. please help to succesfully install Adobe Reader 11. also tried:
1. uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled 2. installed from different locations 3. removed adobe key from
local machine and tried to install

Seriously, I do not understand what is going on - I have never seen this before!
The MSI installers are usually used in corporate environments to roll out installs on multiple machines. However, you can use it like a normal (EXE) installer; it will just go through fewer steps than the EXE. Not sure if it will improve the situation, but it's worth a try.
Another thing to try is to uninstall these remaining entries using Microsoft Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall - also no guarantee, but also worth trying.

You should have imported all pics taken with your iphone to your computer regularly as with any digital camera.
Did you fail to do this?
You would need to import them if you can.

When Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe reader needed updating, now, with Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to file. Help please.

When Mozilla Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe Reader needed updating. After updating to Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to a file. I know the printer and its interface must be OK because Word prints normally.

Problem solved, it was my oversight, I had not removed the check from the Print to File box in the print set up.

Installed Adobe Reader X Cannot print. All Fixes futile!

Have OS Windows XP Installed Adobe Reader X and cannot print. Documents open properly and can be manipulated according to their limitations except I cannot print. Printer is HP Officejet 4500 Wireless. Have converted back to hard connection for this process. Connection not an issue. Everything else except the pdfs will print normally. Printing a pdf elicits no response from the printer. Does not show in queue. Hard attached another older HP printer. It does respond by pulling blank paper thru machine. Have full warranty on HP printer and have been thru detailed process with them. Does not appear to be a printer issue. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Tried all the same fixes. Still does not work. Connected to old printer.
Printer responded, but did not print.

Removing Adobe Reader X Updates

I would like the notification to remove Adobe Reader X Updates to be removed from my computer. It is quite annoying. Please be clear and easy since I am not exactly computer literate. Thank you, in advance

Sorry, your question is not clear. Can you give us the exact wording (or a screenshot) of that notification?
What is your operating system?

I can sign into Adobe but I cannot sign into Adobe Reader for updates

I can sign into Adobe but my password is rejected when trying to sign into Adobe reader for updates.

Adobe Reader won't ask you to sign in for updates. Most likely, this is just the normal adminstrator password prompt you get when installing or updating software, and you use your computer's own password.

Error 140300 Adobe Reader X Update

Whenever Adobe Reader X (10.1.4) updates, it always failes. The error code is 140300. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Adobe Reader X and have manually downloaded updates found here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Windows. Neither of these worked.
System:
Vista
SP2
32-bit
Did anyone experience similar issues and how did you fix it?
Thank you.

Hi Thank you for helping. I have unistalled and reinstalled the file directly from Adobe's download site. Here is what I have done so far:
1) uninstalled using Programs and Features Uninstall/Change Program
2) Rebooted computer
3) went to Adobe's website to download Adobe Reader
4) After installing and after a couple minutes have passed Avast pop up states that Adobe Acrobat update is available
5) After selecting to Install, Adobe pop up states that an update is available
6) After Adobe downloads the update, it will state Update Failed and provides the error.
I usually get an Error 140300, but this time it is an Error 130200.
I tried following your advice and uninstalled Adobe X. After rebooting, I went on Adobe to download Adobe XI. But Adobe X (10.1.4) download site keeps appearing (http://get.adobe.com/reader/). Reading some discussions, it seems that Adobe XI is not available for Vista 32 bit.
Any other ideas?
Thank you.

Adobe Reader Not Updating

HP AMD dual core, running XP SP3 with IE8:
Noticed today when the Automatic Update for 9.3.4 "didn't take" that my Acrobat Reader version was still at 8.2. (dated June 30th 2010), so apparently Acrobat Reader Auto Updates had been failing since that date. I didn't notice this before because I keep this program in a "Utilities" folder on my desk top and just delete the existing link icon then move the new icon in there when it shows up. Of course today I finally saw that the new icon was really just the old version restored. Followed a few threads and saw that for the 9.3.4 you need to have 9.3.3 installed, but the link provided was an FTP site and the Windows Explorer viewing instructions gave me an "FTP site cannot be viewed in Windows Explorer" message.
Any ideas on how to get from 8.2 to 9.3.4?
The implication in the thread I was following appeared to be that that was how you had to get 9.3.3 now that this update was released, but I see that 9.3.3 is still the download version on this site. Do I need to remove 8.2 before attempting to install 9.3.3?
Also just noticed this is the DLM downloader for Reader. Is there a Manual Download available?
Thanks in advance, stillgolfing44

Thanks for the quick reply.
You may not have noticed that I had edited my post with more info/questions.
I Found 9.3.3 @ Adobe, but it is the DLM version. Is there a manual download version available?
Also do I need to remove 8.2 first and if so, is there an uninstaller that should be used or is the Windows Uninstaller O.K.?
Thanks again, stillgolfing44

Adobe Reader X update - printer connection lost

After I updated to Adobe Reader X the other day I lost my printer connection online. Offline printing is fine. The printer does not appear in the print window as before. I thought it was the site I was trying to print from (Barclays) - after lengthy discussions with them it appears the problem resulted from the Adobe update. Very annoying. How do I fix please?

How does one delete the installer cache files? I couldn't find them in 10.7.2 I IDID find Cache files in the Library, and deleted them all. Still broken.
My 10.1.1 installer from Adobe runs and immediatly stops about 40% of the way through, and then sits there. The last time I started the install before lunch, and after lunch the installer was in the exact same spot, but said it would take an hour and 45 min to install! I'm running OS 10.7.2 on a 2009 MBP.
Update:
OK, I put Adobe Reader 9.4.6 back in my Applications folder. I open it up, and do "check for updates". It says I am up to date, and that there are no new updates.
The 10.1.1 installer I downloaded DIRECTLY by going to Adobe.com and following the links for my Mac. I even deleted the installer once and then redownloaded it just to make sure I had a good copy. This is the screen I get when I run the installer. It gets to this point in about 30 seconds, always between the "r"and "i" in scripts, and the time remaining just keeps going up. HELP!

Adobe Reader Security Updates after Windows XP End of Support

Hi,
I have to check up for our customer, whether there will be any Security Updates for Adobe Reader (XI) on Windows XP after End of Support next year.
Haven't found any information on the web :-(
Thanks in advance,
Nicolai

I don't know, and like you, haven't seen anything.
Here's what I do know.
Android dropped ALL support for Flash Playe June 2012 and Adobe continued to develop and release security updates for the older Android Flash Player versions up till September 10 of this year.
Support for Linux ended with version 11.2, but security fixes for Linux Flash Player are still being developed and released.
Given the still-widespread use of XP in schools and corporate environments, I'd have to say that support (at least security updates) will go on for a while after next June14 when Microsoft officially "sunsets" XP. How long that will be is not info I have.
