I cannot open Adobe Acrobat Pro. There is a pink "X" on the Uninstaller. I don't know how to cancel UNINSTALL, if that is the problem.

I am using a MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.5

For general browsing on an older powerPC Mac, you'd need to get a supported browser, one that sees current or recent updates for security reasons; so that is one thing. You could get and install anything from the internet.
But you probably do not have a virus.

A good browser for a powerPC computer running up to 10.5.8, is TenFourFox. Or iCab. Or SeaMonkeyPPC. With some of these you can set up an email account, & those may be more secure than older Mac Mail. You can also be sure the settings in a browser or email client application do not automatically open attachments or downloads, until you determine what they are through investigation.
If you got an idea to download free applications from untrustworthy sites, or wanted to clean up your mac, etc using some dubious software, then an 'adware' may be installed. Some kinds of items you may seek to download or that were attachments on an email, can be dealt with in several ways. Safe browsing, near paranoid use of email, and if you use a web-based email, use a secure browser to visit it, login online, and do not have unnecessary cookies or features set in the browser.
What OS X version does your PowerBook have running?
What are you using for a web browser? Safari is unsupported.
Good luck & happy computing!

Cannot open Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 in Windows Vista

I can no longer open my Adobe or use it in any way.
All of my other CS4 programs operate fine, and this is not a licensing issue.
A little Microsoft Window pops up and says that Adobe Acrobat 9.1 has stopped working.
It will shut down and contact me when the issue is resolved.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your help. AA9 would not open at any time for any thing; when
I tried to open a PDF file, when I tried to create a PDF file with word or
excel or when I tried to open the icon on my desktop.
I took your advise and cleaned my registry and reinstalled. I also made
Adobe Reader 9 my default PDF reader. However, although I can create PDFs
from word or excel (with it still stopping as soon as the document has been
converted), I still cannot open AA9 to create a new portfolio or add to an
existing or open the icon on my desktop. I have tried to repair the
application but with the same results.
Any ideas? And thanks again for your help.

Cannot install Adobe Acrobat Pro on Windows XP

Good day,
I cannot install Adobe Acrobat Pro on my windows XP machine with SP2 and the latest updates.
The error says that the software cannot be installed on the Operating system, please see minimum requirements. I meet all these but cannot install
I saw a similar question posted on the forums but it is unanswered.
Please assist me.
Wesley

Hi,
This link has the minimum system requirements for Acrobat 10 Pro : Acrobat X Pro Tech Specs
On Windows XP, the minimum requirement is SP3 for 32 bit. I would recommend that you update to SP3 by running Windows Update and then reinstall the application.

What is your operating system? Acrobat version?
What exactly happens when you try to open it?

Can't back up my Iphone5 to my macbook pro, it tells me it may be corrupted, also I don't know how to delete the old backup to redo it

Hi Caveman337,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The resource below will explain how to delete an old iTunes backup. Before you do this, I would suggest creating an iCloud backup of your iPhone.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203977
Back up using iCloud
If you're using iCloud, it can automatically back up your content. Use these steps to turn on iCloud Backup:
Tap Settings > iCloud > Backup. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
Tap iCloud Backup to turn it on.
Tap Back Up Now.
After you turn on iCloud Backup, iCloud will back up your content automatically. You can return to this screen to see when the last back up happened.
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht4946
Where your backups are stored
The folder where your backup data is stored depends on your computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in these places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
Delete a backup
If you want to delete a backup created by iTunes:
Open iTunes Preferences:
Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences. Learn how to turn on menus in Windows 7 and 8.
Click Devices. (The iOS device doesn't need to be connected.)
iTunes will show the phone number, International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, and serial number of the backed up iPhone when you position your mouse pointer over a backup. (Only the serial number will be shown for iPad and iPod touch). You can use this to find the backup you want to delete.
Select the backup you want to remove.
Click Delete Backup.
When prompted, confirm that you want to remove the selected backup by clicking Delete Backup.
Click OK to close the iTunes Preferences Window.
Backups that have a date and time stamp in the backup name are copies of backups created by restoring the iOS device. The date and time in the left column are when the restore-from-backup occurred. The date and time in the right column are the last synced date; this shows how current the data is.
I hope this information helps ....

Unable to open Adobe Acrobat Pro after CS4 Design Premium install

I recently purchased Adobe CS4 Design Premium. I attempted to install it Sunday, and it completed with an indication of success. I then tried to open all my applications to make sure everything went well, and Acrobat keeps coming up with the following error: "You can't open the application Adobe Acrobat Pro because it may be damaged or incomplete." I tried to remove it with the uninstaller, and it does not see it. I have tried to install it multiple times. I even swapped out the DVD drive to see if it was having problems reading the disc, but nothing has helped. I even tried to delete it entirely. I currently have a web case open, but they state that can take up to 3 days to be answered. I tried to call technical support, but gave up after an hour on hold. I suspect a bad disc, but I really don't want to have to wait a week or more to get the issue resolved through sending endless emails back and forth with a web case. I was hoping someone would have a good answer to my problem that would not require that. I am trying to install it on a fairly plain OS 10.6.2 system. It is a 2009 Mac Pro Quad with 6GB of RAM. As stated, so far none of the other applications are giving me any issue. It has just been Acrobat Pro.
Thanks.

I ended up finding the probable solution to this problem. I downloaded the trial version of CS4 Design Premium. Seeing that I had already installed CS4, it asked what application I wanted to reinstall. I reinstalled Acrobat. When I opened it the first time, it told me that the licensing server could not be reached. I opened Photoshop, then it again. It has worked fine since then. I have updated it to 9.3.1, so it should be good from here on out.

Cannot "repair" Adobe Acrobat Pro v8.0

I have installed Adobe Acrobat Pro v8.0, and MS Office 2004. When I open Acrobat, it asked me if I want to repair the installation. Yes, I do, so I select the PDFMaker Toolbar for Office, Adobe PDF Printr, and Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin.
At this point, neither Safari nor MS Office (any of the associated applications) are open. However, when I click "continue" I get a screen telling me to close down Safari and Microsoft Applications (but they are not running, or are they?).
Does the problem lie with me, Adobe, MS, or Leopard?

Without seeing the actual text of the message, it's hard to tell what the problem might be. Are you sure it isn't telling you to close them down if they're running?
As for Adobe Acrobat, what did you do to it after you installed it? You changed or deleted something, which is why it's asking you if you want to repair it. Adobe is known for making no details available about moving or deleting things that may affect their applications' ability to be 'repaired' or updated in the future.

Cannot Install Adobe Acrobat Pro via Adobe Download Assistant - Please Help

Hi Guys,
Please can you help I am trying to download the adobe acrobat pro trial via the adobe download assistant but cannot get the download to complete successfully.
Everytime I try and download the file it freezes when almost totally downloaded (less than a minute remaining) and eventually returns an error saying:
Error extracting teh product installer (Error 101). Check for available disk space on your system and try downloading the product again. I am trying to install to the desktop on a drive with 600GB free!!
Please help, I have downloaded the ADA through google chrome on a machine with windows 7 (64bit)
Thanks
Mike

Try this:
Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
Though if the extraction fails, you may face that same issue again. Store the fiel in a different location and do a littel housekeeping. You could well simply be running out of temp space or have a permissions problem on your temp folder...

I cannot install Adobe Acrobat pro on my mac running Yosemite. Why?

I was able to install Acrobat Reader, but when I tried to upgrade to Acrobat Pro on my mac, the Acrobat intaller just hangs there indefinitely. I am running Yosemite. What is the deal?

Hi kctfsu,
We would require the install logs to analyse the failue cause.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select
/var/log ▹ install.log
from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

I cannot open adobe acrobat links

I have attempted to open several different adobe acrobat links (on the same website), and they will not open. I used them earlier today and they worked. Since then I ran MacKeeper because my mid 2007 Macbook was running really slow. This later attempt was after running MacKeeper. Any idea what the problem is?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
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.
