I am trying to download Adobe Reader, I have Windows 7 on my PC. Every time I get the download, I click on it to install the program, and I get the usual messages but I never get the install message. When I try the download again, I get a message telling me only one copy of the program can go on the computer. When I check the program list, it is not there. I have to restore my computer before I can attempt the download and install again. I have tried this at least 6 times but cannot install Adobe Reader. Please help me out with this. I really like this product and prefer to use it. I had o originally delete the program, due to an update conflict.

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.

    Acrobat X1, Purchased upgrade, failed as no valid product to upgrade from existed (my mistake but want my money back!). So purchased Acobat X1 std, install seemed OK, but does not work as I continue to get the upgrade screen saying no valid product to upgrade from? So now I have spent lots $$ and nothing working. Why is this so complicated? what do I need to do?

    Hi Rave,
    Thanks for this; my issue is that I have now supposedly purchased a retail version of Acrobat X1 (i.e just spent more $$, after the upgrade attempt  to Acrobat X1 failed), and while this feigns an OK install, it fails in someway to override the "Upgrade Acrobat X1 version".  E.G. once I load up to read an acrobat file the "upgrade version" executes/intercepts and ask for serial numbers and check for a previous qualifying version which I do not have, (BUT what I do have is the current retail version of acrobat X1 which is not recognised)
    Do I need to uninstall and start over again? (I am reluctant to do this as I am sure serial number issues will arise, as I assume downloaded file will be cleaned up etc, and I am not spending more money trying again!)
    Any suggestions?

  • This is the third time I have entered this question and answered with my PW, etc. I have updated my IPad with IOS 7, and updated Adobe Reader with ver. 11.3.1. I cannot get any files or folders to come up when I click on Adobe, even though my Usage indica

    I Have updated IPad to IOS 7.1.1, and also updated Adobe Reader to ver. 11.3.1. When I click on the Adobe icon, I get no files or folders to come up, just a blank screen. I know from my usage indicator on the IPad that I have 36 GB of PDF files resident, which I expected, but how do I access them. I had updated from IOS 5 because Adobe was crashing so often that it made it difficult to work.

    If restarting the app or your iPad/iPhone does not work, we are not aware of any other ways to fix this particular problem.  Uninstalling & reinstalling Adobe Reader may be the only option left.  It will clean up the "inconsistent" application data.  But it is not even guaranteed to fix the problem.
    If you uninstall Adobe Reader (or any other iOS apps), iOS will erase all of the application data including settings/preferences and PDF documents stored locally on your iPad/iPhone.
    We'd highly recommend backing up your PDF documents regularly (not just this time) so that you do not lose them when something goes wrong.
    How to backup and restore PDF documents on your iPad/iPhone using iTunes
    Backup your PDF documents.
    Uninstall Adobe Reader.
    Download and reinstall Adobe Reader from the App Store.
    Alternatively, you can store your PDF documents in cloud storage (e.g. Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive), which will eliminate the need to backup local files.
    Please let us know if you need further assistance.

  • Unable to open firefox - get message that " a copy is already open and only one copy can be open at a time. I have dragged the app to the waste basket and downloaded another firefox app. However same result". I have a IMAC , V.10.6.3.

    Unable to open firefox - get message that " a copy is already open and only one copy can be open at a time. I have dragged the app to the waste basket and downloaded another firefox app. However same result". I have a IMAC , V.10.6.3.
    I get above message when I click on the firefox icon.

    This worked, I used the method described in this link http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=365156, and opened the Mozilla profile screen with the terminal on my mac, using the language given in the links. Then I duplicated my original profile to save the bookmarks, etc. Put them in a folder listed Duplicate profile with the date. With the open profile screen, I deleted my original profile, created new profile folder and then a new profile. Note that profile cannot be created in the system library, it must be created on the disc, because the library will not allow writing into it. After I created my new profile folder, I dragged all my old information into it, and it worked. Firefox closed and the error disappeared. You must be VERY careful to make sure Firefox is closed anytime you are doing anything with the profile folders. I think that is what caused my original problem.

  • How do i download and use adobe reader, flash player etc for windows 7 64 bit program. nothing works

    I have tried almost everything and adobe stuff doesn't work with windows 7 64 bit program. SUGGESTIONS?

    Hi, First, you must use the 32bit since Adobe Flash Player does not support the 64bit. Second you must be the Administrator in order to install the ActiveX Control and write to the Windows Registry which Flash Player does.
    Read over this Adobe Uninstall info: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html

    Are using Apple's camera connection kit with the SD reader that came with the kit, or are you using a third-party kit ? Also what type of card are you using : SD, SDHC, SDXC ?
    The message doesn't relate to the battery level of the iPad. Only a relatively small amount of power is supplied to the iPad's dock (it used to be higher), so a lot of other card readers can't be used with the kit because they require more power in order to operate.

  • I installed Adobe Reader X and i can't print PDF's without opening Reader first

    Hi, i am using windows XP and i just installed Adobe Reader X onto a workstation within' my office. I use to have Adobe Reader 9 where i could just open a folder with my PDF's. For example, My Documents folder and right click on the PDF i want to print, without opening the file in Adobe Reader first and then clicking print. With Adobe Reader X, i can't do the right click option and print because nothing happens.
    Is they an option in Adobe Reader X i need to turn on or off, to get the function of printing by right clicking on the PDF file without opening Reader X to print please ?

    Is it happening all the times or happened just in the starting when you hadn't accepted EULA?
    Is it still happening after accepting EULA?
    Also, can you please tell what printer exactly are you using?

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same problem on one of my Macs (MBP 15 Mid-2010 / OS X Yosemite): Both reader and Acrobat Pro download without a hitch. Both also install with no problem.
    But once you click the program to open, they both return "an internal error occurred".  
    I tried downloading three separate copies, and still get the same error message when I install and launch.  I've also uninstalled the previous installations via CleanMyMac2 to make sure it's no longer in the SSD.  Same results.
    Am using a new SSD as internal boot drive, with fresh / clean installation of OS X and Apps (previous internal HDD crashed) -- And am seeing errors not only with Acrobat, but also with LR5 which always comes up with a "An error occurred when attempting to change modules" -- inspite or uninstall, download and reinstall.  Not sure if it's a registry issue? (Not even sure if that's the case with OS X).
    Do I need to reformat the whole SSD? I hope not!
    Thanks

  • After closing out, FF will not restart, says it is already running forcing me to reboot. I have removed and re-installed FF and still get the same message when trying to open the internet using FF. How can this be fixed?

    When I close out Firefox, and return later to use the internet, I click on Firefox and it gives me a message stating that Firefox is already running and needs to be closed before restarting or reboot my system. This occurs every time Firefox is closed and attempt to re-start it,,, not only at times,,,, EVERY time.
    I have tried removing Firefox from my system and re-installing to fix this issue however,,, this did not work. After re-installing, I still get the same message when attempting to restart Firefox.
    I have also tried Ctrl, Alt, delete to open the task manager and find there is no task to close.
    I do not have any problems when using IE, I prefer to use Firefox as it is faster and crashes less than IE.
    I am very frustrated at having to reboot my system each time I want to use the internet.
    How can this problem be repaired?

    There are various causes for this error, see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]] for details.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
