How to uninstall multiple Adobe Reader Install

Dear Forum,
Last night I attempted to install Photoshop Elements 6 for OS X and ran into problems. I have the Photoshop installed and registered. But it also had the Adobe Reader as a choice. So,I thought that the reader is probably required to read the users guide. So, I had problems downloading it, and ended up with multiple downloads which I would like to uninstall. I have one icon for the Adobe Reader Installer, and 3 other reader icons showing in applications. How do I uninstall these extra duplicates. I was up all night with this problem. I have an iMac which is 6 months old, 3 G RAM. I use Firefox 3 most of the time. I have other programs which I would like to load, so I don't want to use up memory if I don't have to. Also, it shows a circle with a slash through it sometimes which says it is not can't be used in this architecture. Help!
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Annie

A program doesn't use any memory at all unless you actually start it,
so don't be concerned about using memory.

  • How to uninstall manually Adobe Reader XI in a corrupted install and not being able to uninstall from control panel

    It seems that Adobe Reader X1(11.0.0.9) installed and the installation was corrupted.  It now opens up the Windows help center automatically.  Booting the computer in safe mode and trying to unistall in the control panel,  I get the Windows Installer Servicee could not be accessed.  I am able to uninstall other programs with no problem. 
    can someone help?

    One way is to download again and install, then uninstall. That sometimes resolves the issue. To clear the registry of Acrobat and Reader (this is the Acrobat forum by the way, Reader is another forum), use http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html.

    Hello Everyone!
    I have the ADobe Reader in my system and I want to uninstall it. Could you help me on how I could I uninstall it.

  • Adobe Reader won't open  Tried installing updated Adobe Reader and error came up in the process and told me to contact software manufacturer.  Could I uninstall current Adobe Reader and then try installing the current AR?  Any ideas?

    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.  Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)  It did not specify what the error was

  • I have Adobe reader installed.  However, I am unable to open some files because it is asking for Adobe's approval to open the files. How do I do this please?

    I have Adobe reader installed.  However, I am unable to open some files because it is asking for Adobe's approval to open the files. How do I do this please?

    That message is NOT from Adobe, and has nothing to do with Adobe's approval for anything.
    Quite the opposite: Adobe Reader is NOT YET RUNNING, Adobe aren't involved. Some other app or program is putting out that message. Have you tried giving that permission?

  • Ubuntu 10 (Linux) & Firefox 3.6 ~ How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in & ActiveX control

    Ubuntu 10.045 (Linux) and Firefox 3.6.3  ~  How to uninstall the Adobe  Flash Player plug-in & ActiveX control
    In general Adobe needs to offer Ubuntu (Linux) support.  I don't use Windows anymore and will go with whatever company provides me the Plug In's I need to function.  In this case at the current time, I can't use Adobe flash Player to view You Tube video's.  I followed the link that helps a user fix the problem:
    Solve a Problem: The video won't play:
    http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=56115
    I then saw that you suggested that I first needed to uninstall any older versions of the Flash Player and then install the latest version of the Flash player.  I clicked on the link find out how to uninstall it here:

    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    They didn't offer any help with Ubuntu 10.045 (Linux).  Please offer the instructions and automatic (non-terminal) uninstaller.  Also, I want an automatic installer for Ubuntu 10 (Linux) & Firefox 3.6 that is easy like like you have for Windows and like Sun's Java has for Linux.

    You should go to this site to see what versions of Flash Player and Shockwave Player you have installed.
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
    The versions you are listing (10.0 r12, 10.0 r2) appear to be Shockwave Plauer versions, not Flash Player.
    If you want to uninstall Flash Player, there should be an uninstaller in the install directory.  I do not know where that is on Linux.

  • How do I stop Adobe Reader from crashing on my unprivileged user?

    I am running Windows 7 and I needed to create an unprivileged user on my computer. When I open a PDF file, it almost instantly crashes (I can view the document for about three seconds). If I simply open Adobe Reader without a PDF and click Edit -> Preferences, it crashes. If I open a PDF in any browser, it crashes.
    From what I have been able to surmise, it seems that Adobe Reader is trying to read the registry of my privileged user. I have tried uninstalling Adobe Reader, temporarily giving privileges to my unprivileged user, installing Adobe Reader on that user, and then remove the permissions, but the crash still occurs. The only way to stop Adobe Reader from crashing is to start the program as an administrator or change the account type to administrator. How do I stop Adobe Reader from crashing on my unprivileged user?

    It said "Adobe Reader has stopped working" soon after I opened it, but I was still able to scroll down the document. It was only once I pressed Close Program that it stopped working.
    Upon trying it a second time, it immediately stopped letting me scroll down when the program crashed. Here is the error log, I receive the exact same exception code every time:

    Are you trying to print to a PDF from Adobe Reader?
    If so, you need Acrobat for that. Reader doesn't not install a PDF printer.

  • How do i accept adobe reader i down loaded it a few times

    How do i accept adobe reader after nine time of down loading it i still can't down load my books. it's important to me.

    Ah, Ok. In that case you are trying to install it again, either because you went to the web site again (don't) or because you went to DOWNLOADS and ran what you found there. You only do that once.
    Now it is installed, you need to LAUNCH it. Which means run it from Applications or Launch Pad (if you have a Mac).

  • How do I get Adobe Reader XI to default to Auto Portrait/landscape when I print?

    How do I get Adobe Reader XI to default to Auto Portrait/landscape when I print?

    I too am looking into this issue for someone at my work and hoping someone can provide a resolution for this nuisance.
    It is correct that that Auto Portrait/Landscape is usually set to default for Adobe Reader XI. One day, Portrait was randomly switched as the default setting. Granted the setting could be set back to Auto on a per file basis, this slowed down the time to mass print several landscape reports.  The problem only occurred under one Windows account profile while other user accounts defaulted to Auto as expected. Uninstalling the software, clearing out all Adobe traces from Programs/Program Data/Application Data/Registry, and reinstalling the software did not make any difference. All printer preferences/configurations were the same amongst the different user accounts.
    While it would sound like rebuilding that one person's profile would be the final solution, it wouldn't be ideal to reconfigure the several remote connections with banks and hospitals (we're an anesthesia billing company) on a new profile for what might be a simple, yet elusive fix to this print setting. I have noticed other posts on other sites mention this issue, but no resolutions have been provided yet. I'm sure part of what makes this difficult to resolve is the inability to replicate this issue elsewhere.

  • How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    Hi,
    Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
    1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
    2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
    3. Click on OK.
    This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.
