OS X How to best install Adobe Reader X if Reader 9.x is already installed

My users have MacBooks running either OS10.5.8 or 10.6.x.  All of them have some version of Adobe Reader 9.x.  What is the best method to install Adobe Reader X upon these computers?  We see that Reader X has an uninstaller, but Reader 9.x does not?  Users also have installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 8, Adobe Flash Player 10.x, Adobe Shockwave 11.x (Not sure if this changes anything pertaining to installs and uninstalls)
Thank you.

I have both installed on my Mac. But to uninstall Reader 9, drag the Reader 9 folder from Application to the trash. You should also trash the PDFViewer plugin (Library > Internet Plugins).

  • How do I get Adobe Updater to recognize it's package has already been installed?

    Every day, despite having already installed Adobe Reader 10.1.10, I am getting notifications to run Adobe Updater. When I do so, it offers to install 10.1.10 despite the fact that that version is already installed. I've let it proceed numerous times but the nag keeps coming. I'm on a Mac running OS X 10.9.3.
    Thanks,

  • How to Disable the Adobe Flash Player and Reader Updates

    Ok, For the last two months or so, I have been plagued by the Adobe Flash Player and Reader updater that will not go away. That's not the worst thing though: Somehow, someway, the Adobe updater subverts my entire windows 7 machine and makes itself the most important program on my system, stopping all other necessary functions. After I just turn it on, the updater will suspend all Windows operations in favor of the updater getting its message out the Adobe "needs" updating. I have tried updating the stupid thing, only to find that after the update goes in, my whole computer locks up and I have to load a system restore point. This thing acts like a virus, and until someone comes up with a way to make it work properly, that's what I'm calling: Adobe creates and sells a computer killing virus. I want a sure fire way to disable the updater that will work, and that will never bug me again about updating the virus. After going through three different computer repair companies, many online forums and chat rooms and my own knowledge of how to disable programs, I have instructed my firewall to block all attempts by Adobe to update. This has to stop.

    Hi jtide,
    Please check if you are trying to install Acrobat X Pro or Reader X.
    If it's Acrobat, then try uninstalling Reader 11 and install Acrobat. After Acrobat is installed, Install Reader 11.
    Acrobat X Pro with Reader 11 can be installed on the same computer.
    Check the version interoperability list : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/problems-installing-removing-acrobat-reader.html#main_Ve rsion_interoperability

  • How to completely remove Safari and reinstall. I don't have Safari on my Mac, yet, it says I can't install the newest Safari because a newer version is already installed... Help?

    Okay. So, Safari was giving me some trouble, right? So, I thought I would delete it and reinstall it. I never had a problem doing so before, right? So, why not? I did, and then, when I tried to reinstall it, it tells me I have a newer version already installed. Can someone help me out here?

    Hi..
    Are you running Lion v10.7 by chance even though your profile indicates v10.6.8   ??
    I ask because you can only reinstall apps using Lion Recovery
    Much better to ask for help with Safari here before trying to delete the app and reinstall.
    Is the Safari app still in the Trash by chance?

  • I am trying to install adobe illustrator CS5 from cd but it will not install

    When I install it the message 'installer has failed to initialize' appears. It then advises to download the Adobe Support Advisor. I have done this but the advisor will not respond (I have already installed Adobe Air). I have also successfully run the Adobe cleaner tool.
    Any help please?

    Try downloading it and then run the installer.
    1. Navigate to Illustrator CS6 Downloads page : http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=illustrator
    2. Sign in with your Adobe ID.
    3. Copy and paste the following links on the address bar one at a time and hit enter :
    Adobe Illustrator CS5 English Windows

    http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/ILST/15/win32/Illustrator_15_LS1.exe
    4. Save both the files.
    5. Run the .exe file
    In case you still face issues
    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and clean out the temporary files created during install in your temp directory. Additioanlly, check your task manager and terminate any instances of setup.exe and msiexec.exe that may still be running

  • How do I install an app when the app indicates it is already installed, but it is not?

    I am trying to install NFL 2011, but the app store indicates this app is already installed,  but it is not.   The "install" button is already faint.

    Have you checked all your homescreens and folders for it, and if you type in its name on the spotlight search screen (slide the first homescreen to the right) does that find it ? If you've got the maximum number of screens full (which I think is 11) then you can only access the extra apps via the search screen.
    Also, depending on whether the app has an age rating, have you set restrictions via via Settings > General > Restrictions.
    Another option is a reset and then see if it appears after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • When I try to install QuickTime, I get the message "newer version is already installed". How can I do?

    When I try to install QuickTime, I get the message "newer version of QuickTime already installed". I uninstalled QuickTime. I have also gone into the registry and deleted all references regarding QuickTime. I really don't want to have to reinstall Windows just to be able to install QuickTime. I have used QuickTime for years and want to use it again. What do you suggest I do?

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
    In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?
