I followed an update prompt and tried to update my Acrobat 9 pro this am, and my license vanished

I was prompted to update my Acrobat pro 9 (MAC) this morning and my license ceased working.  I dowloaded license repair but cannot proceed since I do not use a password on my computer.  I followed the instructions (deleting certain files) to no avail.  The copy on my backup drive does not work.  I teach a 6-month online course beginning in a few weeks and most of my materials are sent as PDF often with security settings. I really don't want fixing this to take a lot of time.  Dan Hemenway

Hi Dan,
Update to Acrobat 9 is unlikly to cause the issue.
Have you tried repairing Acrobat and check?
What is the exact error message you get while launching Acrobat now?

  • I recently installed a backup to Yosemite 10.10.1 and tried to use Adobe Acrobat Pro.

    I recently installed a backup to Yosemite 10.10.1 and tried to use Adobe Acrobat Pro.  A message appeared saying that it was part of suite and I needed to open another program like Photoshop CS4. When I tried this Photoshop nor any of the programs of the suite would open. Then I got an error - 150:30 contact adobe.com/support. Anyone with answers?

    I am running Windows 7 home edition and trying to update to iTunes version 10.5 (from version 10.3.1.55) and I keep getting the following error message, ‘Error occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually’ which I do only to have the same error message pop up.

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • My friend gave me ipod touch with all his accounts, i created new accounts but when i went on the appstore and tried to update apps installed by him,i was asked his account's password! i dont know his password.how can i use my account to update apps?

    You can't.  Apps and really all content purchased/downloaded through one Apple ID is forever tied to that Apple ID.  In the case of Apps they will always request that Apple ID to update as they are licensed to that Apple ID.
    In reality, the Apps were licensed to that Apple ID by the developer.  And cannot simply be given away to you for you to use.
    He should have wiped the iPod clean so you could set it up for your use without any of his accounts or purchased content as you are not really licensed to any of those Apps.
    Your friend should have followed this support document before giving the iPod to you:

    Hi there
    I think in this case, you may be best to speak with Microsoft about this, as it does seem like an issue with Office, and not your Mac.
    Follow this link, to find your local Microsoft Support contact number.
    Or perhaps create a new topic in the Microsoft Support Communities
    Good luck

  • I had my iphone 4 locked to vodafone uk carrier. I connected the phone to itunes on my pc and tried to update the version to ios 6 through itunes. But it has been locked and asks for sim of previous carrier. how can i return to previous state?

    I had my iphone 4 locked to vodafone uk carrier. I connected the phone to itunes on my pc and tried to update the version to ios 6 through itunes. But it has been locked and asks for sim of previous carrier. how can i return to previous state?

    You cannot return to previous state. The update re-locked the iPhone
    to the original carrier. You must contact the original carrier to see if
    they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
    Be advised that if your iPhone had previously been hacked/modified/
    jailbroken to work with other than original carrier, it may be impossible
    for the original carrier to unlock it properly.

    Hi Fred,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

    Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

    This is what worked:
    "In iTunes, I signed out of the store. I exited itunes and restarted it, logged back into the store (with my apple id), then I pulled down the iTunes menu in the menu bar and selected Check for updates.
    At this point it said that iTunes 11.1 was available and I'm downloading now " Quoted from a fellow user.
    It fixed my problem.

  • Porblem: 3Gs not recognised AT ALL after updating itunes and trying to update phone

    Have updated itunes and tried to update Iphone 3gs.  Now I have connect to itunes display on iphone, and when I connect, I get "new hardware not recognized", "iphone in recovery mode", and device does not come up in itunes.  In device manager "?!" are shown in "other devices" next to "iphone in recover mode".
    Any ideas?  I've been trying all day to fix this.
    Currrently when I plug in the Iphone, the computer completely ignores it and no reaction, so seems to have got a bit worse!
    I'm using PC, Win XP SP2.
    I've tried all my USB ports, and various fixes I've found online, but happy to keep trying them if you have any ideas???!?!!?!
    At the moment my iphone is dead/blank/part restored, so can't do any solutions that require the functions of the phone.

    Thanks wjosten.  I've now been through all this, and there was a lot of old 3d party phone stuff to remove.
    However, I have not progressed really.  Any other thoughts on this please?

  • After updating to Mavericks and trying to updates for my apps I get : This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.

    After updating to Mavericks and trying to updates for my apps I get : This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. My apple id has always been .mac but after the update I used .me. Are these not synonymous?

    Hi everyone yesterday I was experiencing the same problem I am glad to share its fixed now for me
    "This issue is only related to our Apple ID and to to those specific apps which we already have on phone or had installed on phone before except for those apps which we already have in purchase history AppStore>Updates>Purchase(on iPhone) History(having cloud icon next to them) it's something related to our purchase data
    *ITS NOT RELATED TO PHONE OR MAC!
    *RESETTING OR UPDATING THE DEVICE WONT MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
       (As in my case it  was on iPhone 4 7.1.1 iPhone 5s 7.0.3 and iTunes of course )
    Here is how I got it fixed
    I contacted apple support via chat method and I  asked about a solution giving my info.she told me that she submitted my application and in order to resolve this I should not be using my AppStore ID for any purchase for at least 30mins as  doing so may not resolve the issue so I checked it after couple hours and it's fixed
    (As I read in some other discussions that some people asked for solution from apple support and they told them to reset the device or so.. You may need to make your statement clear that it's appearing both on iTunes and iPhone )

    Try posting to the correct forum.
    This is the iPhone for the Enterprise forum... there is nothing about the issue that appears to apply to using an iPhone in an Enterprise (corporate) environment.

  • Deployed and tried to update to 3.0 - now having SERIOUS issues. HELP!!!

    Ok, there's a little bit of a back-story. I'm currently deployed but had 3 days in port and tried to update all of my iPhone/Macbook software in between bar visits. Well, my AT&T SIM card was left on the boat so I didn't have it when I tried to update to 3.0. Upon returning and re-inserting my SIM card my iPhone 3G now stays on the 'slide for emergency' screen with no change nor hope of change. We are no longer in port which means I no longer have access to internet on my personal computer, only work computers with no downloading capabilities due to security issues and painfully slow internet. When I plug in my iPhone, iTunes launches immediately (like always) but then goes to the error pop-up telling me that I need to re-check my network settings and try again. I can click on my iPhone in the side menu in iTunes but NOTHING shows up in the window. Like I said, I cannot access the internet on my personal computer.
    I decided to attempt to re-install/revert to my old iTunes and just go back to the way things were and try to update again in the next port - remembering to bring my SIM card with me next time. Well, going into Time Machine and attempting to restore iTunes from my last backup a week ago I get an error pop-up that says 'The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient priveleges for "iTunes"'. I have many various Time Machine backups from the time when my iPhone and Macbook were both working well together but have never had to use Time Machine and am thoroughly unfamiliar with it.
    While the iPhone is, obviously, crippled due to lack of network capabilities while deployed, I still use it for my daily calendar, alarm clock, music and movie source at the gym, note-taker and various other network-not-required tools and desperately need it back. Please, anyone, PLEASE help me.

    i suspect you will need a network connection to activate the iphone...
    ...as for the time machine help might want to check in another discussion forum they might be able to help with time machine better in macbook group or macos group or even the !
    thanks for your service... hang in there... don't forget your sim next stop!

  • Just installed CS6 and trying to update, Windows 8.1 tried disabling security still not updating. Version 13.0 any suggestions ? Thank you

    Just installed CS6 and trying to update, Windows 8.1 tried disabling security still not updating. Version 13.0 any suggestions ? Thank you

    Once in awhile, they do have bug fixes for CS6. The only thing I can think of that was an upgrade for CS6 was a newer version of camera raw. For now they are allowing CS6 to have the latest version of camera raw, but when they are done with supporting CS6, I imagine that will be the last of the upgrades. I don't know of any dates, but I heard it wasn't for a long time if at all. So I guess we will all have to wait and see.
    As for getting updates, I think you will like the manager. It makes it much easier. Frankly I didn't know the manager worked on the perpetual license. I knew it worked on the subscription. So it is good to know that it works for you as well.

  • I recently got my battery replaced in the 3GS and tried to update software and restore but phone is now stuck in recover mode.  Please help

    i recently got my battery replaced in the 3GS and tried to update software and restore but phone is now stuck in recover mode.  Please help

    If it wasn't Apple who replaced the battery, then you've voided your warranty.   Bring it back to whomever replaced the battery and tell them they probably broke your phone.
