Cannot install new adobe reader- says old version still installed
Hi there, looking for a little help please. An old version of adobe reader, 7.1 shows as installed on this computer so when I try and install a new version it gives me an error. When I try to uninstall it via the windows add/remove programs, it says that it can't uninstall. How can I get adobe reader 7.1 out of my system? If I need to edit the registry to get it out of there, what changes need to be made?
Thanks.
Thanks, I was having a similar problem, and this solution took care of it.
good work

How install new Adobe Reader after last misinstalled version?
Hi, Community. May you have a great day.
My question is the following. Last Adobe Reader version in my PC was X MUI, and it was installed from an external drive G. For this reason, I could not uninstall that version before try install the new version 11. And I erase it manually deleting it's main folder from my Applications folder. All this caused I can not install the new version.
Thanks from now for your attention. Rafe Dominguez, from Villahermosa, Mexico.Hello Rafe,
You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else. -
I have been on a couple of sites and tried to view some of thier videos. They tell me i need the newest adobe reader upgrade. Tried the upgrade which as available at the viewing site. It told me to close all windows before installing?
Eventually, I went to your site and did the upgrade. It says, install was finished and complete. Agreed to your user agreement.
But, going back to site to view video and site says, upgrade is not there?Adobe Reader cannot view videos. Perhaps you should install Flash Player?

My Adobe Reader wouldn't download tickets. Tried opening Adobe Reader application but it would not open. I saw my Adobe Reader needed to be updated, so I attempted to install new Adobe Reader. When it came to finalizing, it said there is an error and can't do. Any ideas? I have no functioning Adobe reader. Should I uninstall old Adobe Reader and then try installing the updated AR?
(Had to step away & do things) I can't even open up the Adobe Reader application to uninstall; get message it won't open. And now have more things needing to be downloaded to print. Any ideas on how to open the app, so I can uninstall. I have a MAC OS X 10.9.4 When the installation initially failed I received this message from Adobe, " Adobe Reader Installation Error Package name Adobe Reader xi (11.0.07) Installer: installing abase path/installer: The install failed (The install encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.

I can't install free Adobe Reader
I'm using MAC OSX 10.9.4. I had some Adobe product, but recently I had some problem with other programs, so I cancelled it, and I tryed to install new Adobe Reader, but I can't, any versione, and any other Adobe product now. The download starts, but when I try to install it's locked, and the window closes without any alert message. What can I do? I need only a simple free Adobe Reader.
Try the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.
YOu need to be clear about the products you are using, so we can help you. In particular there is no trial of Adobe Reader, it is free and keeps running. Sounds like you are using some versions of Acrobat - which?
YOu must properly uninstall the trial, don't just delete files or you may get a mess impossible to recover. -
I install an old version of itune since the new version does not sync with my iPhone but the old version I installed did not play rather it says that it can't read a file 'itune library .itl' written by Newer version of itune how do I installed this old version to work
You need to restore the pre-upgrade backup of the library file in the manner shown in Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files.Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????/ I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9
Please help me!!!!Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -
I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.0.07) and installed it. Message said install successful. But APEX learning software does a check to see if my system has Adobe Reader and it says I still need to install it. What's up? This has happened to me numerous times throughout the years. I need to get to the bottom of this problem. Thanks for your help.
You still don't give us the message you are receiving. My guess: you are trying to open a PDF in a browser that uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

Hi. I was trying to open some pdf files and got a message my adobe reader was deinstalled. I installed a new version of Adobe Reader for Mac and when trying to open a PDF file I am getting a message in a foreign language. Any suggestions?
Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

'''bold text'''I have found out that I need to disable my Firewall, and stop my pop-up blocker, before downloading the new Adobe Reader. Now, I have uninstalled it and re-installed it several times, because on the Checl Plu-In Page, it still says it is outdated. I don't know what else to do.
Bill,
Thanks for getting back to me. I am very frustrated. Initially I called to ask questions about what software version I needed and got my questions answered. I received the messages with registration/sign in info and the link to download. Then I got the screens shown on the attachment. I did this several times on Friday and then called for assistance, which put me into the Forum area to leave my question. This morning I have used your link and gone to the same place and got the same results. I am beginning to wonder if this is what I want. We need software that will let us edit pdf text and drawings files. Can you confirm that I am trying to get the correct software and what I need to do to complete this download?
I don't believe it is a system problem because I have 215 GB of free space on my hard drive.
Thanks,

After much consideration, today I decided to join Adobe Photoshop CC only to discover it is not available to me as my laptop has Windows Vista. What are my options other than having to buy a new computer or an old version like Ps5 or 6?
1-Do some more reading about a Windows "upgrade version" which, according to my experience, does NOT require you to format your drive... it upgrades over what you have, without disturbing installed programs... at least that is what happened the ONE time I installed an upgrade version, so I can't give a 100% assurance it will work that way with your computer... search link for all things Microsoft http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US
2-Depending on the hardware you have, you may not be able to run CC programs well, if at all
3-CS6 is 3+ years old and is the ONLY non-CC version still being sold... unless you can find a "legal" CS5 somewhere

I have the Mac OS 10.9.4 I am unable to read PDF's, so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader. It will not install. Is it comparable with my Mac OS?
More information would be good.
What do you mean by "unable to read PDF's". How are you trying to read them and what exactly happens when you try?
so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader. It will not install.
Again, what exactly is happening?
And yes, the latest version should be compatible with your OS.
