Can't install "Reader" on Mac?

Have tried three times to install Adobe Reader on my Mac.  Operating System OS-X 10.5 (Leapord).  I designate that I want to install on the harddrive but during the installation process it requests a disc and freezes the computer so that I have to Force Quit.  At one point I thought I might fool it by inserting blank disc but, of course, would not accept it.  Don't understand why it would want a disc of some sort when I designate the HD as target for installation.

Please do not double post.

  • Can't install flashplayer on Mac OSX v.10.6.8

    Can't install flashplayer on Mac OSX v.10.6.8  I get "missing plug-in" message whenever I try to run a clip. Nothing will run--utube, news clips, nothing.  I have uninstalled and then reinstalled flashplayer. what do I need to do???

    Download the offline installer here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
    If it won't download directly, right click and "Save as"
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
    Trash the Flash Player.plugin file from there
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Trash the Flash Player folder (the whole folder)
    Empty the trash
    Reboot
    Mount the DMG and run the installer.
    BEFORE opening any Flash content in Safari, open Safari>Preferences, and check the Security tab to make sure "Allow all other plugins" is checked.

    Can i install Office for Mac on my IPad ??

    Sorry, no. Different operating systems. You'll need to look in the app store to find an office program.  If you already have a mac, then you may want to look for Pages, or I have a PC and use office and like Documents to go.

  • How many Sapphire Sapphire RADEON R9 270X can i install in my mac pro 2009?

    How many of the graphics cards can I install in my mac pro 2009? Sapphire Sapphire RADEON R9 270X
    Thanks

    Why? do you use FCP-X? that will benefit from two. Also gaming in Windows where you can use Crossfire
    You have two 6-pin power feeds so you will need a small 450W PSU - those come with two 8-pin and two 6-pin.
    Those can often fit in the optical drive bay and cost $25-75 range.
    "500W" is NOT for the card! that is the minimum PC PSU only!
    when buying look for card that uses only two 6-pin and not an 8-pin power.
    75W for the PCIe slot, and 150W from two 6-pin cables, most GPUs fall into the 200-250W at maximum stress levels8-pin is basically two 6-pins and 150W feed
    > we CrossFired a pair of Radeon R9 270s in our 2010 Mac Pro tower. Under Windows 7 64bit Ultimate, it registered 145 FPS in the Diablo test.
    http://barefeats.com/tube06.html
    Keep in mind that the Mac Pro tower can't feed enough power to the dual 980s, dual 290Xs, or dual 7950s.
    We used an auxillary power supply to compensate.
    For the hard core GPU rendering, there are external expansion boxes with their own power supplies.
    In an earlier article, we featured the Cubix Xpander which facilitated the connection of 5 GPUs to the Mac Pro tower.
    If you favor an AMD GPU like the Radeon R9 290X, MacVidCards can modify it to run at PCIe 2.0 bandwidth in your Mac Pro tower.
    The Sapphire Radeon R9 7950 Mac Edition is available from OWC and TransIntl.
    February 6th, 2015 -- Dual GeForce GTX 980s vs other Dual GPUs running multi-gpu 'aware' apps
    February 6th, 2014 -- (UPDATE) GeForce GTX 980 GPU versus 8 other GPUs running Games and OpenGL Benchmarks
    January 29th, 2015 -- GeForce GTX 980 vs 9 other GPUs running Resolve, LuxMark, and Octane Render
    December 28th, 2013 -- Does Final Cut Pro X 10.1 render faster on Mac Pro towers with Dual AMD GPUs? What about Motion 5.1?
    Things to keep in mind:
    The Radeon R9 280X we used was 'un-flashed.' It booted OS X fine but there was no startup screen. Also, when we checked the speed of CPU-to-PCIe-to-CPU communication, it appeared to be running in PCIe 1.0 mode instead of PCIe 2.0. However, unless the GPU intensive app saturates the PCIe 1.0 bandwidth, it will not run any faster in PCIe 2.0 mode. http://barefeats.com/tube12.html
    Which is one reason why you might want to buy pre-modified cards from http://www.macvidcards.com

    Hello Chris,
    thanks for getting back to me. I managed to install the AIR using command line
    and -silent -EULAaccepted options. Still having issues with installing Picaboo X
    software, but i suppose it's a problem on their side as other apps are installing
    without issues
    thnx

    Hi,
    I'm sorry you're running into problems with the installer.  Was there any additional log information provided?  It appears that it's been truncated.  When the installer runs, do you see any dialogs, progress bars, or errors?  Finally, did you get any errors when you ran the AppleScript?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    can't install Reader for Pocket PC on HTC Touch Diamond? why?

    Run the installation on your sync pc... the installation application will run only on a pc, then, activesync installs it on your winmobile device on the next connect session.

    Mac book pro 2.4 GHz late 2011 i7....How much memory can I install? Currently have 4Gb but want to run Win 7 on VMware and want to make sure my user has enough

    The position of Apple is that the Late 2011 can take 8 GB, however, OWC, http://www.macsales.com and Crucial, http://www.crucial.com both guarantee their 16 GB ram packages to work.  Both are sellers of high quality ram that is guaranteed to work in Macs.

  • Can't Install Flash on Mac

    Today Firefox prompted me to update my Flash Player when I logged onto my laptop. I've done this many times before so this shouldn't be a big deal right?
    Well I was able to download and start the installer but after about 11%  the installer fails and points to the Support website.
    I tried running the Flash Player uninstaller, rebooting, running new Flash Installer and it still fails everytime.
    I even tried downloading an archived version of Flash 10 to see if I could at least get some version of Flash installed, but that failed in the same manner.
    Has anyone else had this issue?
    Jenn
    Firefox 3.6.11
    Mac OS 10.6.4

    You've never heard of the installer asking for an admin password? You must not have a Mac then. Flash is not the only program that asks for one, and it's not the only program that's not going to get one from me.
    LZMA (not lsma) is a form of compression which the downloadable flash plugin uses. As previously noted, I haven't found anything yet that can uncompress the Flash Player.plugin.lzma file, which is why I can't install it.
    So what I want is a link to the bare Flash Player.plugin file. Not to a Flash Installer program, just Flash Player.plugin, the actual plugin that goes into my internet plugins folder. This is Adobe, Adobe makes it, so they should have it available somewhere. It's only 30 MB. Adobe is a big company now, they can afford the bandwidth.
