Please help!  Can't uninstall Reader X

When I try to remove the program, I get a message that the Adobe program is open and it can't uninstall until the program is closed, but the program isn't open anyplace other than the add/remove function.

Is there any pdf open in any browser's?
Else, go to task manager, select the reader process and end it.
See if it helps.
Cheers.

  • Please help -can't uninstall or install iTunes  - Error code 2330

    I tried to open up iTunes 9.1.1 today and got a message that windows was trying to configure iTunes. Midway through, i got an error message: "An error occurred while attempting to create directory: C:\documents and settings\all users\application data\apple computer\iTunes\SC info.
    So i then tried to download the new version of iTunes (9.2), and got a message that "the installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with the package. The error code is 2330."
    Then I followed the trouble shooting steps on the support site - deleted the Temp folder and then tried to uninstall 9.1.1. I received the same 2330 error message.
    Doing a search of error 2330 on this forum, I saw people recommending running a Chkdsk which I did. This repaired some errors, but it didn't help with the installation, I got the same error message.
    I have tried to call Apple support but apparently they don't support iTunes unless you're running it on a MAC. I'm upset and frustrated and at my wits end. I know next to nothing about computers, which doesn't help ;o) I'd be grateful for any suggestions...

    Many thanks.
    Okay, either the SCInfo directory (or the iTunes directory above it) has gotten damaged in some way. iTunes is detecting that when you try to launch it, and it is trying to do a repair install in order to try to repair the damage. But the damage in your case is enough to stop the repair install from going through. The same damage will be stuffing up the attempts to uninstall/reinstall/update iTunes.
    There's an alternate strategy we can try to get around this in cases where chkdsk can't fix the damage. But first we're going to have to adjust some view settings on the PC, because your damage is lurking down in directories that are hidden by default on Windows XP systems.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
    5. Click OK.
    Now we'll see to the file.
    In My Computer, open your C drive.
    Open the "Documents and Settings" folder.
    Open the "All users" folder.
    Open the "Application Data" folder.
    Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
    Rename the "iTunes" folder "iTunesOLD".
    Restart the PC. Now try launching iTunes again. Does the repair install go through properly this time?
    (If the iTunes Setup Assistant runs, don't add files to your library. Otherwise you may end up with a lot of duplicates in your library.)
    If you get iTunes launching again, check to see if any purchased music is still playing, and if any iPods/iPhones/AppleTVs etc are connecting properly. (We've forced iTunes to rebuild configuartion files and an iPodDevices.xml that affect some iTunes DRM/authorisation-related and device-connection-related machinery. So I reckon it's possible you might at least need to reauthorise some songs or apps or games after iTunes launches again.)

  • Please help: Can't download itunes with windows 7 (64 bit).  Keeps freezing at 99%

    I have tried deleting and re-installing itunes and quicktime but it still won't work.  Please help.

    Can someone please respond to my request for support?  I tried the provided correct answer at https://discussions.apple.com/message/11561783#11561783  but it did not work. 
    I also got a MSFT tech support person to remotely look at my machine, for what its worth, he said the registry file is fine and to contact Apple support.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

  • Can't uninstall Reader 9 after installing Reader X

    Installed Reader X on my PC running Vista with Reader 9.4.x already on my system.  I thought that the Reader X install would upgrade my Reader 9 install, but it didn't.  I don't have a need for 9 any more, and want to remove it.
    However, Reader 9 does not appear in the list of Programs in Control Panel > Programs and Features.
    So how can I uninstall Reader 9?
    I should also mention that I also have Photoshop CS4 installed on this machine.  Is that why?  Is Reader an integral part of Photoshop CS and cannot be uninstalled?
    Thanks.

    The standard advise is to remove all traces of previous versions of
    Reader before proceeding to a new install. If the previous versions have
    not been removed, the standard advise is to remove all trace
    s of Reader (all versions), and then rein
    stall the one you want. To eliminate
    Reader, you can follow the procedure described here:

  • Please Help--Can't fill out or submit/save .PDF forms

    Hi-
    Running Safari 5.1.2 on Mac OS 10.6.8 (the latest updates according to software update) and using the Schubert PDF browser plugin. http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/
    Before updating from Safari 5.0.xxxx I could fill out and submit .PDF forms in Safari without any issues. Now, I cannot. The form comes up but I cannot enter any text into the text fields.
    About a month ago I went through this and had to revert back from a time machine back up because the ability to fill out forms in browser is an everyday necessity for me.
    Does anyone know how to fix this issue?? Please help...

    Ok.. I still cannot get this figured out. I'm baffled and frustrated!!
    I did a deep cache cleaning using Snow Leopard Cash Cleaner, all of your reccomendations, and about an hours worth of reading. I had the schubert-it plug in uninstalled and have gone back to reinstalling it with no luck. I was thinking after all the cache cleaning it might work. Nope..
    I can't beleive this is an issue after an update.. Apple is normally so great with this stuff.
    The com.adobe.reader folder does not exist on my computer.
    This problem occurs with any online form, not just the ones I need to access and submit, and it occurs with the native PDF support in Safari as well as the schubert app.
    Any other ideas? I read on one post where someone fixed it with quicktime, but the video he put up to show how he fixed it was no longer available.
    Carolyn, or anyone else, .. any ideas??

  • Help can't uninstall or reinstall firefox, it worked yesterday

    Woke up and for some reason when I turned on my computer firefox wouldn't work. windows said "The application has failed because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. So I tried to unistall and reinstall the program and it wont uninstall the program.
    I am running window 7 ultimate service pack 1 64 bit operating system.
    It says the same thing when I try and download a new copy of firefox, I can download the program but get the same error when I try and install the download.
    Please HELP I hate Internet Explorer and that is the only thing I have to use.

    Seems to be caused by a corrupted Visual C++ installation (multiple versions can be installed side-by-side; SxS).
    You can try to use the sxstrace.exe tool to see if you can find which files are missing or corrupted and (re)install missing Visual C++ libraries.

  • Please help, I need to read blob and output in bytes from wwv_flow_files.

    Hi all,
    I am having a requirement to read a blob stored in the oracle table and convert it into bytes. I am loading this table (wwv_flow_files) with APEX.
    The code under page 1 is as follows:
    DECLARE
    z number;
    y varchar2(4000);
    x varchar2(400);
    b blob;
    BEGIN
    select filename,blob_content into x ,b from APEX_APPLICATION_files where name =:P1_FILE_NAME;
    select length(convertBlobToBytes(b)) into z from dual;
    :P1_RESULT := z;
    end;
    Java code is as follows:
    import java.io.*;
    import java.sql.Blob;
    public class convertBlob {
    * @param blob
    * @return
    public static byte[] convertBlobToBytes(Blob blob) {
    if (blob==null) return null;
    try {
    InputStream in = blob.getBinaryStream();
    int len = (int) blob.length(); //read as long
    long pos = 1; //indexing starts from 1
    byte[] bytes = blob.getBytes(pos, len);
    in.close();
    return bytes;
    catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    return null;
    PL/SQL wrapper is as follows:
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION convertBlobToBytes(p1 IN BLOB) RETURN LONG RAW AUTHID CURRENT_USER AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'convertBlob.convertBlobToBytes(java.sql.Blob) return byte[]';
    I loaded this java class and pl/sql wrapper into the database using JDEVELOPER.
    But I am getting the length of the file, as twice the size.
    For example, When I run the program which reads the file returns the length of the file as a byte array, the length is 819.
    When I pass the same file as a blob from apex, to the java program that converts blob to bytes, the length of the file is 1638.
    And hence I am getting wrong results, further in the process.
    Can you please help me? Any help is appreciated.
    rgds,
    Suma.

    The example on this page is showing how to read a blob in portions you determine yourself:
