Please help! Keep getting error message "an internal error occurred"

Hello,
I'm trying to install Adobe Reader 10.1 on my macbook, but after (what looks like a successful download of Reader), when I try to open up a pdf I get the message "an internal error occurred." From here I am forced to click "OK" and then I just get a blank screen.
I've tried to unistall and reinstall all Adobe files several times, but always get the same error message.
Here's what I'm working with:
Mac OS X - Version 10.5.8
Intel Core 2 Duo
Safari - Version 5.0.6
I'm not super-tech savvy, I just need to download this program to be able to use an online training module for school.
Thanks.

Hello,
I have had the same problem and ended up spending about 4 working hours resolving it, although I have a master degree in computer science.
The problem is caused by an incompatibility between Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0/7.0 and Adobe Acrobat Reader 10. It is very strange that this error was not discovered during Adobes in-house quality control. I expect such tests should have been performed prior to making new releases, in order to spare problems for users. Also, I would expect better error management in a software product of this calibre. If a missing file ends up causing a crash, one might wonder if there are also security critical flaws in the software related to e.g. parsing PDF documents.
Problem description:
After agreeing to the license Adobe Acrobat says "An internal error occurred" and crashes. No further information given.
The system log reads ([…].com.adobe.Reader[220]) Exited abnormally: Interrupt
Executing the binary directly from the terminal with -O flag gives no data on standard output. Other crash log reveals no interesting information.
Solution:
After some investigation, found crash is caused when /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts/AdobeFnt06.lst is accessed.
Hence due to incompatibility between Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0/7.0 and Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.
The installer/uninstaller should probably have removed the file.
I could delete the above file since I no longer use v6.0/7.0, and the problem was then resolved.
Prior to this I had also deleted some of the com.adobe.* preferences from
/Users/[username]/Library/Preferences
/Library/Preferences
etc.
although I am not sure if this was necessary.
Hope this helps.
/Martin

  • Why do I keep getting error occurred. Please try later again when trying to watch youtube videos

    Why do I keep getting "Error occurred. Please try later again." , eveytime when trying to watch youtube videos. I have the latest adobe flash player and java so why can't I watch videos at youtube??
    It's very, very, frustrating having had so many people tell me I need to change my browser to you guys at mozilla firefox.
    I've tried everything but still cannot view the youtube videos. I have a 32 bit Toshiba laptop.
    God bless, I await your reply,

  • I keep getting "error occurred while attempting to import file *******. The disc your are attempting to use is full." I have an external hard drive that I moved files over to, but apparently they're also still on my hard drive? HELP!

    I keep getting "error occurred while attempting to import file *******. The disc your are attempting to use is full." I have an external hard drive that I moved files over to, but apparently they're also still on my hard drive? HELP!

    So you have backed up the content of the computer's hard drive, too?
    That usually is a great idea since it is possible to lose use of the system
    if parts of it have accidentally been removed or get over-written, or the
    main system files get corrupted, when the hard disk drive gets too full.
    If you have not trashed the originals of your created content, that remain
    after you made copies on an external hard drive or other device, then
    that is what you'd have to do to reclaim the capacity still in use by them.
    What are specifications of the hard disk drive? The unused capacity
    verses the used, in GB? If the hard drive has less than 15 to 20%
    free or unused capacity, you could run into trouble. Mine are 40-50%
    unused hard drive space, so ample room is available for automatic
    Virtual Memory to use that capacity as temporary swap file space.
    This is helpful when the computer could use more physical RAM
    memory capacity, but doesn't have it. Or if the RAM is maxxed out
    and you can't add any more. Virtual Memory is part of OS X and the
    system automatically can use as much as is available, but it is better
    to be sure there is plenty of resources available to include chip RAM
    as well as unused or free hard drive capacity for use as VM.
    If for some reason your files in Trash won't go away when you empty
    it, you may have to restart. Be sure you have not included any System
    files in the content in the Trash, or the Mac may not start up later on.
    You may have to boot the computer from the install-restore OS X DVD
    and run Repair Disk from its version of Disk Utility, to be sure it's OK.
    I'm guessing that by now you know enough about the vintage system
    in the older hardware to figure it out, so I won't write about it now.
    In any event... hopefully you can simply trash the files, but check them
    carefully, & you may need to remove (copy to archive first) even more.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    You might have better luck posting this in the library feedback forum here:

  • Trying to update to iOS 7.0.6 keep getting "Error Occurred" message.

    I am tying to upgrade to iOS 7.0.6 on an iPhone 4. The device begins the download and install but then stops when the progress bar gets to 100% and it produces a message that says "An error occurred". No additional information is provided. There is 2.2 GB of free space on the iPhone 4 so that is not an issue.

    Just keep trying; the servers are probably being overwhelmed with requests for the update.

  • PLEASE HELP i get error:The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1.) when trying to open a .pkg file downloaded from microsoft store. they said it needs to be dmg but how?

    are you certain that you’ve completely downloaded the .pkg file — that the download didn’t end prematurely?

  • Keep getting error occurred while formatting the disk using boot camp with usb

    So I keep getting the above error when trying to use boot camp with a USB drive. I have tried with more than one flash drive, all formatted to FAT32, multiple isos, both ripped right from a windows 7 ultimate dvd and downloaded, and I have made sure the iso was unmounted. I have also tried all different combinations of checking the options in the boot camp assistant menu. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

    I was mistakenly thinking of the Fat16 limit. That is my mistake.
    When bootcamp assistant failed to create the USB from my iso disk (with no explanation), I decided to experiment a little with the dd and cp utilities. dd failed, and cp told me the install file was too big.
    The install.wim on my iso is 4,351,019,025 bytes. So even if 4GB is the file size limit, it is too big. 4GB is 4,294,967,296 bytes if I recall.
    If I am still right about the file size, smaller editions of windows 7 would be able to fit on the flash drive, or people can have an actual DVD with windows 7 and install from there.

  • HELP: Keep Getting Error When Applying Magic Bullet Looks

    get this error when applying Looks.
    "After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Looks".
    and then it says
    "After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was: <2280>
    <MCExportInfo: Destruct> <5> Destruct for 420462944"
    I try to apply Looks to another video and I get a different error saying language registry key. I apply Looks to a third video and I get the dynamiclink error. It's like different error for different video. All 3 videos shot with different cameras.

    Same problem here ! I have Vista 64 bit and Intel 4500 Mhd
    driver. The issue is Magic Bullet Misfire works fine in Adobe After
    Effects CS5 but it crashes with Magic Bullet Looks.
    Have checked OpenGL in AE CS5 which are by default OFF, that is if you open Adobe After Effects CS5 and into edit and then click 'preferences'. Under previews there is ur OpenGL info. Click OpenGL, its says need to update driver or get a better OpenGL above 2.0. I think updating to new OpenGL may fix the issue. I have made a video with Magic Bullet Misfire and it works fine but the issue is with only 'Magic Bullet Looks' presets where the AE crashes.
    So it cant be Windows 7, Vista or 32 bit or 64 bit issue. Probably a driver error or an internal Magic Bullet 1.4 or Adobe After Effects CS5 64 bit error.

  • Please help: An unknown error occurred (1418)

    I have several iPods and have used them basically trouble-free for years. Last night though, my 1st Generation ipod, after coming home after being away for a month, "died" after synching to my mac-mini. I went through the 5 Rs, but have no success in retsoring the Nano even to the original settings. The restore process via iTunes fails, giving the error message 1418. The unit has not been dropped or abused, but the only thing that has changed is an update to itunes and quick time on the mac mini. Any help is appreciated, as it appears my warranty expired while on vacation....
