Manual removal of Reader issue

Started the process of manually removing Adobe Reader because Windows wouldn't remove it because of an error message. Got to the point of deleting files in dos when I was told access was denied. Why? Followed every step to that point.

You can try to uninstall the VPN client MSI using the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility at the link below.

Access denied while manually removing reader 8.x

While following the instructions for manually removing Adobe Reader 8.x as posted here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/400/kb400769.html
when I try to delete AcroIEHelper.dll, AcroPDF.dll, and pdfshell.dll as per the instructions, I get "Access denied".
I am running XP SP3, logged on under administrator, running in diagnostic mode, and explorer.exe has been terminated. I have also tried deleting these in safe mode under the same conditions.
I'm not sure what has these locked. Any suggestions as to what I should try?
Thanks.

Mike,
Thank you for responding! I tried running that on a testbed/sandbox machine to test it out before using this fix on a live machine, and it resulted in me NOT being able to reinstall any Adobe Reader, any version, at all. When I tried to reinstall 8.1.x or 9.x, the download manager just reported that it was "unable to install" with not much else to go on.
It also left the Adobe Reader add-on installed in Firefox, and there was no way to uninstall it.
I'd love to try using the MS Installer Clean-up tool if I could understand exactly how I should proceed with it - exactly what steps I need to take.
Can you help me here? Again, I appreciate your response and look forward to getting this problem behind me!
Thanks!

Removing acrobat reader 8.1.1

When following "Manually remove Adobe Reader (8.x on windows)", under Remove Adobe 8.0 registered files using the command prompt, I get "access is denied" when attempting to delete those 2 files. I think those 2 programs are running, but they do not show up in Task manger, processes.
System is windows XP professional, dual boot with Vista as the second choice at start up

I have had the same issue since allowing Acrobat Reader to update over the weekend. I have attempted to uninstall the 8.1.1 version and reinstall and have the same error message occur. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on 2 separate home computers and both computers now have the same issue.
When I attempted to uninstall and find an older version to reinstall from the Adobe website, I was unsuccessful. The only option is to install the newest version, which does not work.
Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated as I am now unable to read pdfs at all.

SCCM 2012 SP1 - SUP role removal or reinstall issue resolution

Hello all,
I just want to share a fix regarding SUP removal (re-install) issue.
I think I found a bug regarding SUP role removal/re-install.
When I try to re-install secondary SUP on a site system, when I remove SUP via AdminUI – Administration – Site - Site Systems, it gets removed from the list but I get the following errors, which makes (re-)installation fail.

When I trigger uninstall via AdminUI, it failed to remove, thus it think that it is already there when I try to re-install it.
The fix was to manually remove HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_EXECUTIVE\Threads\
SMS_WSUS_CONTROL_MANAGER registry key then re-try.

Yes!!! this worked for me. I have SCCM set up with a number of untrusted forests with a firewall in between my SCCM servers and the untrusted forests. The firewall went down and half of my site servers in the untrusted forests were giving
the "operating system reported error 997: Overlapped I/O operation is in progress" on a number of their components. Finally found this, deleted the reg keys under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_EXECUTIVE\Threads"
and that allows SCCM to reinstall.

Manually remove Premiere Elements 11

I have a Windows 7 PC and Office 2007 Home Premium with Adobe CS6 and Premiere Elements installed. I recently upgraded to an SSD and Elements didn't take well to it. I wanted to uninstall it and then do a clean install onto the new SSD. When I try do remove it, though, I get a 1316 error message that "Adobe Premiere Elements.msi" is missing. Interestingly, I searched for this on both of my drives and couln't find it, then went to my mirror back-up from before the SSD install and couldn't find it there either!
It seems the best solution is to manually remove the folders and files, although I don't know what or where they are. I did find a list of PSE 8 files and folders, but was concerned about going back three revisions.
I would like a list of the files and folders used by Premiere Elements 11. Also, are all of the "Media, People, Places, Events", etc. in Elements safely saved with the photos? I definitely wouldn't want to loose all that information!

TS1567 I have tried manually removing itunes and reinstalling. i have gone through the sevices anf tried turning on the AMDS. i have tried turning off the firewall. i have tried restoring my device. i have tried "fixing" the AMDS in the add/remove program

I have tried manually removing itunes and reinstalling. i have gone through the sevices anf tried turning on the AMDS. i have tried turning off the firewall. i have tried restoring my device. i have tried "fixing" the AMDS in the add/remove programs. I have tried using a different device. i have tried using a different cable. I have tried all of the steps given in the link supplied by Apple. None of these things have fixed my problem. I still have the Error Message "The Apple Mobile Device Service started then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs or Alerts service. I am using Windows XP. I am leaning towards a last resort which would be to wipe my hard drive and start from scratch. Does anyone have a solution?

Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

Macbook Pro - SD Card Reader Issues Solved!

I recently purchased a gently used, early 2011 MBP. I've had it for a few months, but I did not try using the SD card reader until last week... so much for kicking the tires. Long story short, the darn thing did not recognize or mount one single SD card out of a handful of cards, and at least 3 different card manufacturers all used with my Canon DSLR. I searched the net trying to find a solution and tried everything from sticking the card in at a some strange and ridiculous slant to shutting the computer down three different ways and resetting the System Management Controller (SMC); nothing worked. So today I spent 25 minutes or so chatting with an apple care specialist and they (Jim the apple care guru) finally came up with a solution, even though I'm sure neither one of us knows exactly why it worked. So here goes...
Put your SD card in a external card reader, once it's mounted go to disk utilities and reformat (erase) the drive to Mac OS Extended. Take it out of your external reader and put it in the built-in reader on your Mac. Now, of course, it will no longer work in your camera or most other devices so you'll have to format it again in your device of choice. However, here's the kicker... once I did l all of that and took some quick pics, I put it back in my MBP and it popped right up even after a reboot. But wait there's more.... I then put the SD card in my wife's work laptop (PC running Win8) and played with the files for a bit, then stuck it back in the Mac and it still recognized it. So there goes the "windows screws up the formatting myth).
So naturally I assumed that I would be forced to go through this double formatting process for all of my SD cards (and I have a lot), but then it happened! A Christmas miracle in October. I tried a second card, and then a third and a fourth and a fifth, etc... AND now they ALL pop up just like they should. Without reformatting or any other humanly changed processes. Yep... There you have it, it makes no sense. But it works ;)
Somehow formatting just one card in the card reader "woke up" the whole process, almost like my MBP was like, hmmm I was wondering what you kept sticking inside that's slot of mine...
Hope this helps someone. Sorry for the rant :)

Anyone else with card reader issues should read this page. Just because your card reader doesn't appear to be working or has mysteriously dropped off your system doesn't necessarily mean a logic board replacement. I've repaired several portables over the years that had been quoted for costly logic board replacements, when in fact the failures were relatively easy to resolve once you understood the real problem.
It's common belief a PRAM or SMC reset should fix all hardware glitches but sometimes it just doesn't go deep enough, as I found out with my 2011 MBP. Simply removing the battery was all it took to resurrect my seemingly dead card reader, when PRAM and SMC resets failed to have any impact on the problem.

How to manually remove Flash?

Is there a way to manually remove every part of Adobe Flash from OSX so that I can reinstall? I have posted the following on Adobe's forums but haven't managed to get a single reply!
Flash is crashing when I try playing video in Safari, Firefox or Google Chrome.
Chrome says that I have two almost identical versions of flash installed.
I have downloaded the uninstaller - it completes and says it has uninstalled, but does absolutely nothing.
Installing new versions does nothing either, I have rebooted in between etc but nothing. I've even tried removing the browsers and reinstalling.

Ok, getting some where, if not further
Finally found the plug-in, in Chrome's package contents (by right-clicking Chrome in finder and clicking 'show package contents').
Firefox and Safari must have been sharing it somehow, as removing this stopped flash working in them also!!
Have now removed Chrome & Firefox altogether. Re-ran flash uninstaller. Yay! No flash! Rebooted, installed Flash. First use - crashed!! Closed and reopened Safari - second run, video stuttering.
I know Mr Jobs doesn't want us to have Flash anyway, but I need it for some sites and this is really doing my head in :/

EJB CMP remove create cache issue? DuplicateKeyException

EJB CMP remove create cache issue? DuplicateKeyException
Hi I have an EJB 2.1 application using CMP. Most things work fine. But if I in a transaction tries to remove a bean and create a new one with the same primary key I get a DuplicateKeyException:
2007-11-16 09:25:31,963 ERROR [RMICallHandler-6] AdminGroupData_ConcreteSubClass147 - Error adding AccessRules:
javax.ejb.DuplicateKeyException: Exception [EJB - 10007]: Exception creating bean of type [AccessRulesData]. Bean already exists.
at oracle.toplink.internal.ejb.cmp.EJBExceptionFactory.duplicateKeyException(EJBExceptionFactory.java:195)
I suspect that the remove call only removes from the cache (until commit), but that the create call checks the database or something?
My code is simple like the following:
AdminPreferencesDataLocal apdata1 = adminpreferenceshome.findByPrimaryKey(certificatefingerprint);
adminpreferenceshome.remove(certificatefingerprint);
adminpreferenceshome.create(certificatefingerprint,newadminpreference);
Is there some configuration I can set in toplink-ejb-jar.xml to fix this?
I use OC4j 10.1.3.3
Cheers,
Tomas

The bean.remove() was executed but the sql DELETE was executed to the database as the result, oc4j manages all sql statements and they are optimized to commit to the database in batch at once when the transaction commit. Oc4j ejb container is smart and preventing you from creating the same entity cached in the transaction because the sql delete was not really committed to the database when the create is called.
My guess is that the reason it works with IBM WAS was because it issued sql for each remove/create call right away instead of doing them in batch as oc4j, or your WAS remove then create were called in separate transactions.

I can not remove Adobe reader form my computer. In my Add or Remove Programs file it says....

that I can not remove the program. My computer got stuck on it and I had to do the end program option because it would not close out. I know that Adobe has been on my computer ever since I can remember. I honestly don't know what it is (Adobe Reader) and am very frustrated because I don't know weather getting rid of it (Adobe Reader) will cause problems on this computer or not. Please help cause I don't know what to do....I need it to opperate as it did before and with out upgrading it (free) or I can't use it and need to remove it. Sincerely me

Hi 8ublessed,
I will agree with Test Screen Name, there is very less information to figure out the root cause of the issue you are facing. If you want to remove Adobe Reader, please use the cleaner tool - http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

Manual removal of iMovie - then can't reinstall

Needing to make more room on the main drive I manually removed iMovieHD. Wanting to reinstall it i could see no way except to reinstall the whole OSX Tiger. But iMovie did not re-appear !! Was it because it wasn't there at re-install time so it only installed apps that were previously there. HELP

You are contradicting yourself:
Wanting to reinstall it i could see no way except to reinstall the whole OSX Tiger. But iMovie did not re-appear !
If you had lost the disks you could not have reinstalled Tiger. Moreover, if you have lost the disks Apple will replace them for you, possibly for a small charge.

Re-install CSA after manual removal

My client sent Microsoft's Hive Clean Tool out via SMS and one of the install settings from it caused CSA on all the remote laptops that received it to go into full lockdown mode.
Thankfully it was only a pilot that 650 users received, but the only way to fix them was to fedex them all a CD that ran a manual removal of CSA using the steps from Cisco.
Now that they are all back online, we'd like to re-install CSA. When running the original agent kit that installed it, we get a message 'unable to start CSAControl Service'. The service was removed during the manual removal, but is not installed again as a service during the install.
Platform is XP Tablet. CSA is v. 4.03. We are running the install as an admin. Does anyone have any ideas on getting it to re-install successfully?
Thanks.

Where can I get clear evidence of the supported platforms for 4.03? This could be a good reason to go ahead and upgrade all 9,000 tablets in the field.
Yes on the reboot question. We also have found that we can install 4.0 successfully. We'll see if we can get our hands on a 4.5 agent kit.
Does anyone know how to totally erase all evidence that CSA was installed on a client? The manual removal was deleting registry keys and some DLLs, but that was not a total uninstall.
Thanks.
