How can I uninstall adobe Reader on my macbook/Mavericks, how can I uninstall adobe Reader on my macbook/Mavericks

I tried already all ways that i found in the internet to uninstall adobe from my mac (through Library and with a downloaded uninstaller) still the pdfs open with adobe, what's wrong?

1. Adobe Reader is in the Applications folder. You can trash it from there.
2. If you want a pdf to be opened by a different App, you can set that using a .pdf file. Control click on a .pdf and then click Open With. Next identify the App in the list that appears that you want to use. If you do not see what you want in the drop down list, select Other and navigate to the App.

  • How can i uninstall adobe reader 7 if it is'nt located in control panel?

    I'm tring to install adobe 11, but it says to uninstall adobe 7. when i go into control panel to uninstall therein no uninstall listed for adobe 7.

    You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous versions of Reader:

    Then, download the full offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    and run it immediately after restarting your computer.

  • How can I uninstall adobe acrobat reader 10?

    I just installed this program because I thought it was better than Preview! But it's ugly and slow and it takes more than 500MB of space! How can I remove it completely? I can't find the uninstaller! F@#k Adobe!

    Hi John,
    I used File Buddy to search for "reader" on my main drive. This is everything it returned that relates to the Acrobat Reader X:
    /Applications/Adobe Reader.app
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Help/en_US/Adobe Reader
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/com.adobe.Reader
    /Users/retoucher/Library/Caches/com.adobe.Reader
    /Users/retoucher/Library/Caches/com.adobe.Reader.ARM
    /Users/retoucher/Library/Application Support/Expression Media/Plug-ins/Helper Applications/Adobe Reader
    /Users/retoucher/Library/Receipts/com.adobe.Reader
    /Users/retoucher/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Reader_x86_9.0.plist
    /Users/retoucher/Library/Logs/Adobe/Adobe Reader Updater.log
    /Users/retoucher/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Reader.plist
    /private/var/root/Library (from old Mac)/Receipts/com.adobe.Reader
    The only one that isn't readily accessible is the .plist file in the /private/var/... folder. But it's only 29Kb.
    For the most part, Mac apps don't spread themselves as pervasively as they do in Windows. Larger apps like Photoshop (or the Adobe suites), Final Cut Studio, Quark, etc., tend to drop more stuff around the drive in the System or main Library folders. But for smaller apps, they tend to be the main app, a few things in the Application Support folders, and a preference file (or a few of them).

  • How can I uninstall the update for Adobe Reader x(10.1.8)?

    Since installing the update it takes me 3 times as long to open a document. I work from home and I need to open documents to verify for billing and now I am too slow to do my job as fast as I should be.  Help!!!!

    That is very unusual, as the 10.1.8 update is merely a security patch: https://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb13-22.html
    Either way, uninstall Reader X, then reinstall 10.1.4 from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and update it to 10.1.7.

  • Help! I can't install or uninstall Adobe Reader.

    I accidentally deleted part of Adobe Reader 8.1.2. Now, I can't read PDF documents. I tried to install Reader 9 but I kept getting a message box that says, "The feature you are using is on a network resource that is unavailable." It also gives me the option to try again or change the directory, neither of which solves the problem.
    I then went to the Control Panel and tried to have the Add or Remove Programs application remove Reader 8.1.2 but the exact same window came up. It supposedly has something to do with the fact that there is no installation path for Reader 8.1.2. How do I get rid of Reader 8.1.2 and then subsequently install reader 9?

    I downloaded Reader 9 not long ago, and have been having problems similar to those other people have posted. I thought the problem had to do with two expired free trials (Acrobat and Photoshop), because when I would attempt to open a document, the registration page of Acrobat would appear, then vanish along with the document! I figured the problem would go away if I uninstalled the expired free trials. Not at all! Now, when I try to read PDFs on line, I get an error message saying "unknown file type," and I'm redirected to Microsoft's page for information about Adobe Reader...which is supposedly already on my computer. Did I accidentally delete some essential element when I got rid of the remnants of Acrobat and Photoshop?
    Yikes! I wish I understood more about computers!

  • Can't start or uninstall Adobe Reader 9.3

    When I try to start Adobe reader I get an error message that jusy says "an internal error occured"
    Also I get errors when I try to uninstall it or update it. Total frustration. Can anyone help?

    How did you get this copy of Reader 9.3 ? Did you install it yourself or it cam pre-bundeled with your machine? What is the version of Windows OS you are using
    Try running repair from Control-Panel->Add/Remove Programs, it might fix the launch issue.

  • How can I fix this "Adobe two-version" problem, so only the latest version stays enabled, the old version stays DISABLED, and/or uninstall the old version?

    I went to my add-ons tab, and I DO, in fact, have two versions of shockwave flash, an 11.9...version, and a 13.9..., which, if I'm not mistaken, is the latest version. There is a "ask to activate, always activate, never activate" button for EVERY add-on. I clicked never activate on the older version, and closed the tab. I then tried to play a video off of the Web. It would not play, I tried another site with the same result, so I went back to my add-on tab, and the button for the older version had changed back to "always activate" by itself. It continues to repeat this, and WILL NOT stay on "never activate". Every few times I return to the add-ons page, THE NEW VERSION IS DISABLED, AS WELL AS THE OLD ONE. I've tried to uninstall the old version, but when I go through control panel, and bring up the folder contents, the old version isn't even there! I've done start, find, and typed in "Adobe", and the old version is NOT FOUND! Both versions keep changing back and forth on the activate button, and they both will disable on their own, no matter how many times I fix it! smh!!

    @jscher2000: Didn't mean to lose contact. I still don't have my playback problem solved, if you can believe that. I've downloaded the uninstaller / installer links with someones help that's on this forum, used them in the exact same order. It did nothing to help. However, I was in the process of attempting your solution. I made sure all browsers were closed; in fact, I went offline before this procedure. When I used find, and typed in Shockwave, it came back..."no search results". I recalled a path I had previously used, and had to use it instead of find, C:/ Acer/ Windows/SysWOW64/ Macromed/ and here there were files for Shockwave AND Flash. I opened Shockwave, says " this folder is empty". Flash Player and Flash Util plugin, Util32 Active X, NPSWF32_13_0_0_214.dll...all files appear correct, BUT why aren't there ANY files in the Shockwave folder? NONE of the buttons you describe in your steps to let Firefox "clean up" the pluginreg.dat file show in my window...if I am in the right window. My username is at the top, and it's drop-down is "3 button"+sign out. One says settings, but it doesn't take me to any "help", Trobleshooting info, "show folder", nor any way to exit Firefox or to start it back up. Settings goes to "edit settings", and has a list of checkboxes...all with something to do with threads in one aspect or another, and one concerning private messages. Sounds to me like I don't know what I'm doing, am on entirely the wrong Mozilla /Firefox page, and I'm NEVER, EVER going to get this damn video playback crap fixed once and for all. Some sites will let a video play, but they are rare. Vikings.com is the one that has me red-faced. NOTHING plays there. Except ads, of course. You can't get those to STOP.

  • How can I unistalling Adobe Reader without damaging other Adobe software??

    I want to uninstall old versions of Adobe Reader, which for some reason are not removed once I update the software. The old versions I want to get rid of are 6.0, 7.0 and 7.0.5 (I just installed 8.0). I cannot find an Adobe Reader unistaller anywhere, and the Adobe site itself is not much help.
    I found an old thread here in the fora (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7064835&#7064835) that partially addresses the issue, but the advise is applicable only if there is no other Adobe software installed in the computer (see Kurt Lang's reply). I have other Adobe software, including Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.
    So, question is: How can I uninstall those old versions of Reader, other than dragging the folders to the trash, as that might not be advisable in my case?
    And why is it that updates to the software are not automatically deleting previous versions of it? Is it something in my computer's setting that's causing this to happen?
    Thanks much for the help.

    Just drag the older versions of the Reader out of the Applications folder to the trash. Done. They have nothing to do in any way with other Adobe products on the hard drive.
    Edit: To clarify on my post you linked to. As long as you stick to just dumping the Reader apps themselves in the main Applications folder, you're fine. Just leave the few small leftovers in the Support folders alone.

  • Getting Adobe Reader already installed when I try to re-install. How can I get it re-installed??

    Windows XP  SP3
    I had a problem printing an invoice from
    a vendor and it was suggested that we should have the most current versions on the
    Adobe software installed. I un-installed Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) and Adobe Flash Player and
    any other Adobe product. When I bring up the add/remove programs screen, it shows that
    Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) is installed and that the update cannot be removed.
    When I try to re-install, I get the error that Adobe Reader X is already installed, even though it
    has been removed from the registry.
    What can I do to get Adobe Reader X re-installed??

    This is basically the same problem that double0eight is having.
    Not all of Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) gets uninstalled. There is one program that is left that says that it cannot be uninstalled.
    If this is the case, how can anyone re-install Adobe Reader X?? Now I am really stuck unless I use another software product.
    Does anyone have any idea on hwo Adobe Reader X can be un-installed?
    Thanks.

  • How can I uninstall adobe media encoder cc at macbook (Mavericks)?

    How do I uninstall adobe media encoder cc on macbook (Mavericks)? I have installed two versions (AME AME CC and CC 2014), AME CC 2014 has unistall file, but the application AME CC has unistall file or i can not find it. The situation is similar in the application ADOBE EDGE CODE CC and ADOBE EDGE CC Reflow CC.

    Because I have installed two versions, CC and CC (2014) I have a small ssd drive, I want to uninstall unnecessary applications and replace them with new ones from the 2014 edition. I have a problem with applications: Media encoder CC, EDGE CODE CC, Rreflow CC, Lightroom 5, these applications just do not have the files "uninstall". CC Photoshop, Illustrator CC,  InDesign CC, Media Encoder CC (2014) - with these applications I do not have a problem, I can uninstall these applications because have files "uninstall".

    It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
    The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

  • How can I get serial numbers or the free versions of Adobe, Air, Flash Player 14, and Reader XI Pro

    How can I get serial numbers or the free versions of Adobe, Air, Flash Player 14, and Reader XI Pro that I had installed on my computer before Microsoft crashed my computer and I had to do a fresh install? I finished reinstalling Win 8.1Pro on my computer thanks to Microsoft Lvl 1 Techies corrupting my Command Structure so nothing would work. I had recently taken a picture of my installed programs (control panel, uninstall programs list) so that I would be able to reinstall everything I needed. I can't seem to find an email for the Reader which I remember paying for, the others I believe were free installs. Can anyone help me out.
