Need help installing Adobe Reader on my Mac

I am trying to download Adobe Reader XI onto my mac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 through Safari.  Every time I download it gets almost through the installation and then gives me the error "Installer: Installing at base path/installer:  The install failed (The installer encountered an error that caused it to fail)."
I have done all the trouble shooting on the website but nothing is working.

Try the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • Need help installing Adobe Reader, Error 1402

    Hello, this is my first time here at the forums.
    So my problem is obviously having trouble installing Adobe Reader X (Latest Version) I had to reinstall it due to this error,
    I've tried looking at these steps: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/329/329137.html but they didn't work.
    I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.
    I get stuck at step 10 of More Solutions (Advanced)
    The error I get when I try to 'Replace permission on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects' is:
    Auditing - 'Registry Editor could not set security in the key currently selected, or some of its subkeys.
    The key that cannot be opened during installation is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE32\Software\Classes\PDF.PdfCtrl.6\CLSID
    Notes:
    I've already set full permission to access this key.
    The 'Replace permission on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects' checkbox is actually named
    'Replace all existing inheritable permissions on all descendants with inheritable permissions from this object' on my Windows, I think it's basically the same thing, because it's in the same spot as the one in the support picture, so I'm just assuming that's Windows 7 and I'm using Vista which shouldn't be too different.
    I've already followed all the instructions correctly, and I don't have spysweeper, McAfee on my system or any viruses/spyware, I update Windows regularly and my AntiVirus is Norton AntiVirus which is updated as well, and this doesn't seem to interfere with the installation files as you can see this is a registry problem.

    Please confirm the Reader version and the operating system.

  • Need help installing Adobe Reader 11

    Adobe Reader will not update. I have tried following multiple forum help suggestions. I have received errors 1302, 1310, and one other. Usually get error 1310.  I am running Windows 7 Professional. The downloader will download the files , attempt to install them , gets to 97%-100% completed , then fails.  I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling. I have tried using the cleaner to remove all traces of Adobe files. I have tried fixing permissions. I have tried ensuring we are installing as admin. I have disabled Mcaffee Antivirus to install. I have tried installing adobe X (10) - which succeeded installing btw, and upgrading from there. In that case , the update immediately fails. I have gone into my folders to make sure admin has full access to the folder. I have tried downloading and installing multiple times as another post suggested.  I do not know what else to do. I can use Adobe X to view my docs but I want to stay up to date security wise. Please help !!!!

    Have you tried the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ ?
    If that also does not help, please give us the full 1310 message.

    I have installed adobe reader onto my Mac but when I open up an adobe pdf it tells me that i need to accept the end user license agreement, quite, and then open up a new browser but i have never seen the end user license agreement. What should I do in order to accept the end user license agreement even though it never pops up when i install adobe reader?

    Make sure Readr is closed. Go to the Applications form, look for the Adobe Reader icon, double click on it, and follow the lead. Restart Reader when finished.

  • I installed Adobe Reader to my Mac OSX 10.8... website I need it for says no.

    I installed Adobe Reader to my Mac osx 10.8. It installed, I clicked "FINISHED".  When I go back to the education website that I needed it for it tells me I need to agree to the Adobe licsencing agreement and reopen the browser. How do I agree to the licsensing agreement?? It never came up for me to do that. I tried to re-install but it just tells me I already have it installed.
    Thanks
    Dawn

    You need to open Adobe Reader by itself (not in the browser), then accept the EULA.

  • I have tried to re-instal Adobe reader on my Mac many times. Asks for my PW and gives my name. I just received a new PW with no success. I delete my name and put in my E-mail address. No help.

    Cannot re-install Adobe reader. Says "Adobe reader wants to make changes" and gives my name not e-mail address then asks for a PW. I received a new PW and can sign into Adobe.com but am unable to install Adobe reader on my MAC.

    Enter the password of your Mac.

    when installing adobe reader on my mac it states that the install is complete, but on same screen its sets thaw an internal server error has occurred and reader will not work

    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
    Edwin

  • Is there a certain number of times I should install Adobe Reader on a mac before it works?

    Is there a certain number of times I should install Adobe Reader on a mac before it works?  Cant open any Adobe certified pdf's in any applications. Keeps telling me to install Reader for the best experience.
    I've tried that on three macs, no luck.  Website in general is a shambles.

    No, if it doesn't work the first time, doing it again isn't likely to change anything.
    The usual reason for this message is that the app is not using Reader, but the PDF needs Reader. What app is putting out the message? Can you reply (NOT BY EMAIL) with a screen shot of the message?

  • I need to install Adobe Reader to take a course but I cannot get it to work

    I am trying to take a 3 hour course online and I have to download adobe reader.  I have done this or so my computer says I have, but still cannot get the information I need to take the course to work.  I get a message saying "if the I need to install adobe reader".
    How do I get this fixed? I need this course in order to renew my tradesman license.
    Thanks

    Are you expected to download files from the course to look at on your computer or will all of the course be done completely online? If the course takes place entirely online, what may be needed is the Adobe Reader plugins getting installed properly in Safari. Since you're posting this in the Yosemite forum we can assume your using Yosemite, not Snow Leopard (10.6.8), so the plugins may not automatically be working. Assuming Reader has actually been installed, take a look at the instructions Adobe gives for activating the plugins.
    BTW, do you have "Adobe Reader" in your Applications folder?
