I deleted Acrobat XI but now cannot reinstall

If Acrobat XI is part of CC, and I subscribe to CC, I should be able to download it, but perhaps I deleted Acrobat incorrectly and there's still a preference file residing on the computer. In any case, although I don't have Acrobat XI installed currently...
When I open my Creative Cloud desktop app, it shows as being installed, and thus I cannot re-download it...

I fixed it.
BUT I want to reiterate:
1) Mac lets you delete apps freely by trashing them, and Mac users have been doing this for decades without getting punished like this.
2) Mac users rarely if ever look in the app folder to see if there might be an unistall app. I bet less than 10% of Mac apps have an uninstaller app.
3) If you try to "Recycle Bin" an app in Windows, the OS warns you to use an uninstaller. Mac lets you trash almost everything without a warning.
4) Mac developers should be aware of all of this behavior, and program accordingly.
Just sayin'....

  • Upgraded from X to XI but now cannot open PDF.

    Have upgraded per email notification from X to XI but now cannot open PDF.  Opens with Adobe screen with blank grey background for about 3 seconds then disappears.  Uninstalled both macafee (accidentally installed at same time) and XI, reinstalled as X (without macafee) which was fine prior to XI installation but still same result.  Using windows 7 and Norton protection on Toshiba QOSMIO laptrop about 9 months old.  Not technically savvy on computers,  Any help please?

    Things to try...
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

    Hi, I have a little problem. I downloaded a malware called Mac Protector, for my fault, and now I finally have deleted that program but I cannot throw away the relative icons (in my display). How can I do?

    Where on the screen? On the Desktop? In the Dock? In the menu bar? Please post a screenshot.

  • HT1452 I have a Toshiba Canvio 1TB external hard drive on my Mac. I've used it for 4-5 months with no problems, but now cannot add to it (I use it mostly for photo storage) to it. I can still access information previously added. Ideas?

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

  • Acrobat fasils to open, cannot reinstall from original cd-rom, hsve serial number, stuck

    My Acrobat x stopped opening, will not run, on my Windows8 computer.  Yet, I cannot reinstall even though I have my original CD-ROM and serial number.
    I have always been able to reinstall software in the past but maybe Adobe has locked me out with their licensing hurdles.  Anyone know how to get Acrobat installed from original cd-roms and a serial number?

    Thanks for responding.  This forum is so helpful.From another suggestion, I went into control panel, Install/Uninstall Programs and selected to reinstall Acrobat.  Also, I found a fix online called AcroFix.exe which is reported to correct problems loading.Together the problem was fixed.
    Thanks,Jeff

  • I changed my Apple ID and password on my IPad but now cannot download apps because it wants my old ID and password which are no longer linked to ITunes.

    I Cash angled the Apple ID and password on my IPad but now cannot download any apps because it wants my old ID and password. It does not recognise the change of ID.

    Have you tapped on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app - when you do that you should get a popup with options for 'View Apple ID',' Sign Out', 'iForgot' and 'Cancel'. Tap on the 'Sign Out' option and log out and then log back in

    i bought creative suites over 3 years, but now cannot update and registered in my account, the error massage are:This serial number has already been registered. Products can only be registered once.

    The message is correct.  You can only register a product once... there is no need to register again after you do it the first time.  You can re-install and activate with the serial number, but there is no need to re-register.

  • HT201317 just backed up my iphone to the icloud and updated my software.  I clicked on "delete once downloaded" but now can not find the pictures -- 470 of them.  How can I access them?

    How can i access all my photos after backing up my iphone to the icloud?  I clicked on "delete once downloaded" but now can not find them.

    You can import your camera roll to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    If you're upgrading your phone, I would recommend that you backup your old phone to your computer using iTunes.  Restoring an iTunes backup to your new phone will be much faster than restoring an iCloud backup, and possibly more reliable too.
    To back it up to iTunes, connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, then go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  The go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    When setting up your new phone, when given the option, choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore this backup to your new phone.  It will include your camera roll and other data; restoring the backup will will also sync your apps and other iTunes media from your iTunes library to your new phone.
