Can't get acrobat 9 pro to load as part of CS5 suite for mac

I had to reinstall the full CS5 package, and I had no issues reinstalling Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator from the original disks, but when I insert the AA9 Pro disk, it *appears* to download, and I'm able to open it, but as soon as I eject the disk, the program grays out. The icon stays in my doc, but nothing happens when I click on it -- when I check my applications folder and I click on the icon there, I get an error msg that says: "The alias “Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found."
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. (not sure this has anything to do with it, but the other CS5 disk in the suite package -- for indesign, photoshop and illustrator -- prompted me for my serial number and product code, but when I inserted the disk for AA9 Pro, that didn't happen.) Any suggestions? btw: I posted this question in another forum, but someone suggested it may be a CS-specific issue....)

you could try downloading cs5 design standard and installing acrobat from that.
if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • First Timer – Can't get Win Xp Pro to Load – Blue Screens - What to do next??

    This is my first build, and I have the following hardware:
    Athlon64 939 3000+ Processor
    MSI K8N-Neo2 Platinum Motherboard
    Corsair TWINX1024-3200C2PT 1GB DDR400 (512X2)
    Hitachi 160GB 7k250 SATA Hard Drive
    ATI 9600XT AIW Video Card
    Plextor 716A 16X Dual Layer CD/DVD
    Antec True430 PSU (+12V: 26A; +5V: 36A)
    Cooler Master Praetorian Case (Silver)
    After putting it together, I observed the CPU temps in the BIOS for a while (my concerns, now gone, are documented in another thread), and never noticed any other problems.  I partitioned the hard drive using Partition Commander, from the CD.
    Last night was the first time I tried to load Windows Xp Pro (have used 98SE on my old PCs), and it did not go well.  Although I had loaded the Partition Commander S/W a number of times via the CD ROM drive, the first time I tried to load Win Xp, it wouldn’t boot up from the CD ROM drive.  I had to try it a few times before it started (even though the CD ROM was set to first priority for booting in BIOS).  Once started, when it was in the middle of loading files (not far into the entire process), I started getting errors with wording something like “Couldn’t load file XYZ, hit enter to retry, or cancel...”.  After hitting Enter a few dozen times, it made it through that part of the process, but then later, I started getting blue error screens reading “A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage ...”  I rebooted and the installation resumed, but every time but one (I must have tried it six times) I ended up at a blue error screen before it finished.  At the bottom of these screens, there was always a line that read (but not always the same numbers): 
    “*** STOP 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x804EAAB4, 0xEE7A8C80, 0x00000000)”.  One time, there was also, after the first para on the screen the line “DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL”.  Another time, it made it to the final (I think) “Saving Settings” part of the process, showing 5 mins left to go, and just hung.
    Can someone help me figure out what these errors mean?  I’m at a loss as to what to do next, and of course really want to get this thing up and running.  I read another similar thread where people suggested the PSU was insufficient (he was using a 300W PSU), but I don’t think that is the issue here.  I’m also sure I have the latest BIOS version (V1.4) for my motherboard, so that shouldn’t be an issue either.
    Thanks in advance for your help....Thksnow

    This is a completely new install (new h/w and s/w) of Xp Pro w/SP2 incorporated (not an upgrade).  Someone recommended removing one of the two memory sticks, and trying to load Xp afterwards, then reinstalling the 2nd stick after the install completes.  I tried it tonight, after reformatting the partition, and the install went completely thru without a hitch the first time!!!  I can't explain why it worked, but I guess there can be some kind of memory issue when you have two dual channel sticks during an Xp install.  I have now reinstalled the 2nd stick, and so far, so good.  Tomorrow I will run Memtest86 to see if that turns up any errors.  By the way, how do you tell if it's truly operating as "Dual Channel"?  Is there some way to tell?

  • How can I get Acrobat 7 Pro to work with Windows 8.1 Pro?

    Apparently Acrobat Pro 7 is not compatible with Windows 8.1 Pro X64. I am trying to save a web page to pdf but this feature does not work in Windows 8.1 Pro. Is there a patch or update that will fix this problem?

    It might be possible to get a lot of it working, but you will have to install a separate PS driver and rename it Adobe PDF and set the port to File. The print process is then to print to the Adobe PDF printer and then open the created file in Distiller to complete the process. I have been successful with this on a Win7, 64-bit system, but not tried it on a Win8 system. You are pretty much on your own if problems arise, unless you are willing to try wild suggestions that we might give (guesses really).

  • How can I get PS CC to always load my preferred Preset while saving for web output?

    For my purposes, I'd prefer to save all JPEGs at 100% quality while saving for web output. I've made a preset as seen below.
    However, PS doesn't always defer to this setting when I begin saving an image for web. Is there a way to make this preset automatically
    load every time I open the output to web process? I process a large number of images, and if I could avoid correcting this it would save me a lot of time.
    I'm using PS CC on a PC. Any help will be appreciated!

    This is the only custom preset I've made with this particular system. So I'd need to delete the pre-loaded PS presets?
    I'm a little loathe to remove the options in case they might be needed in the future or for a task other than the primary one described.

  • How can I get rid of all the useless junk in the new iTunes for Mac?

    Hi Bart,
    I think I spoke to soon.  I got 2 of your replies, back to back.  Like I said, this sure isn't a user friendly site.
    btw:  Totally off topic.  I'm sure you heard about Amanda Berry & the other two women being found after missing for 10 yrs.
    Well, I just got an email today of Mr. Ramsey's (the man who rescued them), interview converted into a
    song.  Quite the catchy tune.  It's a Hit.  Here's the link.

  • Can I get my songs from my windows formatted Ipod to my Itunes for mac??

    I just recently switched over to mac and I'm having a bit of trouble getting started. I have all my songs and pictures on my Ipod formatted to windows and I was wondering if it was possible to get those songs and pics on my new macbook??

    what about my pics??
    That part I don't know. I have never used my iPod for pictures.
    If you click on your iPod in the Finder, does a Pictures folder show up? If so, you could just drag it over.

  • Can't install Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows XP Home Ed V2002 SP3

    Newbie hozer can't install Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows XP Home Ed V2002 SP4.  At end of install via CD it hangs restarting Print Spooler (spooler) and Windows Image Acquisition (stisvc) services, err 1920, and all I can do is click Cancel and it uninstalls the whole dad gum thing.  I tried kb.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403613.html.  Not fixing it.
    If I could change the permissions on those services maybe that would help but I can't do it, I don't have a login with enough permissions, I guess...
    So after the third time I just hard-crashed the hard drive when it got to the last ("can't start Windows Image Acquisition", cancel/retry) window and I did end up with the files on the HDD but... they won't install or delete now.  I'm infested.  Try to install in Normal or Vega mode, it now pops up a filled in userid/serial number box, and when you click ok or retype it, it says the s/n is invalid.  I keep having to reboot to get Windows Installer to let me start it (another permissions problem).  So I'm stuck. UpToDateTrendMicro doesn't find any evil doers...  the kb403613 sent me to this forum,
    with hopes,
    M3/   [that's MEL, or as close as the ScreenNameBouncer would let me get]

    Not sure it will help, but try it when logged in as the administrator and with anti-virus turned off. As far as error numbers, must of us have no clue (there seems to be a list at Adobe, but we don't work there.

  • I am buying an Epson scanner. I am told it is compatible with an Apple Computer, is that correct? I have been told to get Acrobat XI Pro as the software for the scanner. Is that correct? Will this also scan handwritten documents into a Word document?

    I am buying an Epson scanner. I am told it is compatible with an Apple Computer, is that correct? I have been told to get Acrobat XI Pro as the software for the scanner. Is that correct? Will this also scan handwritten documents into a Word document?

    "I am buying an Epson scanner. I am told it is compatible with an Apple Computer, is that correct?"
    We have no idea, and it isn't really our thing.
    "I have been told to get Acrobat XI Pro as the software for the scanner. Is that correct?"
    Acrobat XI Pro is available for Mac and is an excellent tool for making PDFs. We can't say whether it will work with the scanner. It depends what drivers Epson provide.
    "Will this also scan handwritten documents into a Word document?"
    That's not what Acrobat is for. It is for making PDFs. To make handwritten documents into Word documents, you'd just scan as graphics, and insert each graphic on a new page of the Word document. They will remain pictures of text, not something you can edit or copy/paste.

  • Can not get a specific website to load in either Safari or Firefox?

    Can not get a specific website to load in either Safari or Firefox on my MacBook Pro.  Website loads on other devices such as iPhone, PC, etc.  I've tried emptying the Cache in Safari.  Any other suggestions?

    The problem I am having is that this website will not load on my MacBook Pro.  I don't know if it has something to do with the fact that the website was created on this computer using iWeb and then I had to change to a different webhost on July 1st (Dreamhost) when Apple discontinued Mobile Me / Webhosting as of July 1st.  That is when I was no longer able to load the site on this one computer.
    I get this message with Safari:
    Safari can’t open the page “http://www.challengefitnesscrossfit.com/” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding.
    and this message from Firefox:
    The connection has timed out
    The server at www.challengefitnesscrossfit.com is taking too long to respond.

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?

    Hi there,
    How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?
    Thanks!

    Hi cialbert,
    Do you have the install media? If not, you can download Acrobat from here: Download Acrobat products | 9, 8 - Adobe.  You'll need your Acrobat serial number (see Find your serial number quickly - Adobe).
    Note, as well, that the licensing agreement allows you to activate the software on up to two computers. If you've already activated it on two computers, deactivate on one before installing on the new computer (see Activation & Deactivation Help).
    I think that should take care of it! Please let us know if you need additional help.
    Best,
    Sara

    Thanks the address you gave me gave me what I needed but still had alot of trouble with the game. Come to find out it was my browser IE8 that was causing all the problem. So I changed to google chrome and loaded the regular version of Flash player and have been able to get on the game. Now i have trouble with my plugins can you send me a link to find Adobe flash player plugin 9.0.124.0?

    Hi,
    Could you download the appropriate version of the installer from the following page?
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580?tstart=0
    Once downloaded, please quit all of your browsers and launch the installer.  If it still fails, please restart your system and try again.  Let me know how it goes.
    Thanks,
