Reader 11 reinstall problem

I have a 64-bit Windows 7 machine that failed a Reader 11 update, so I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall, but the installer says it is already installed.  Is there a way to force the install?

  • Reinstall Reader X problem

    I uninstalled Reader X after the 10.1.4 update was installed, and now I can not reinstall Reader X 10.1.0 from the Adobe Web again. I get a message saying I've got a product with more functions installed, and installation stops. Any ideas on how to proceed ?

  • Adobe Reader Printing Problem

    I have a PC with Windows XP SP3. When I try to print a PDF document, I get the following message: "The document could not be printed. There were no pages selected to print." Of course, I had selected the pages to print.
    Recently, I had many problems with Adobe Reader 10, so I removed it and reloaded Adobe 9. Today, when this printing problem appeared, I did a restore on my computer, taking it back a few months. I still have the printing problem.
    Any idea what's wrong? Any idea how to fix it?

    I have Acrobat Pro 9, but the feature I am using is listed under my
    printers.
    If I go to Print, then in the drop-down list of printers, I have PDF -
    which essentially creates a new PDF document.  I don't really understand
    why it worked, but it did.  The Print - PDF is also available to Word,
    Publisher, etc.
    Hope tis works.

  • Can someone help me - OS reinstall problems.

    Alright guys, I'm feeling pretty stressed about my situation right now.
    Here is what happened....
    I have a 13' MBP pro that I bought at the start of 2012. It was new then.
    Months ago I attempted to install Windows via Bootcamp, but it failed.
    Since then, I have had to press option every time I turn on my machine and select the Macintosh HD to boot up. The choices there were Mac HD (mine), Recovery HD and the Windows Partition that was never used. 
    I have not been able to delete the partition where Windows was supposed to be installed. Whenever I do, it says "partition cannot be mounted". But this is not my problem. I have just lived with the extra partition and space I can't use.
    Today, it turned off on me for no reason. When I pushed the power button, pushed option and slected the Mac HD to boot up, it turned off on me again. Multiple times. So I opened the recovery HD. I attempted to verify, and repair the Macintosh HD multiple times. Every time it failed, telling me to back up my stuff (which I couldn't do because it would just turn off), erase the drive and restore. I tried everything I could think of, verifying, repairing, restarting, etc. To no avail.
    So, I erased the hard drive. I have no time machine backup, luckily I did not have a lot of files that weren't copied already, so erasing it was not a huge loss.
    Then, I hit reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu in the Recovery HD. It tells me "to set up the installation of os x mountain lion, click continue." So I do. It verifies, and has me sign into my iTunes account.
    Here's a wrench in the works: I have recently changed regions. I have moved from the US to South America (specifically Ecuador).
    When I sign into my apple account via Recovery HD Utilities, it gives me the message "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the U. S. iTunes Store. You will be switched to that store." (I don't know what this means really). So, I hit okay. Nothing happens.
    I repeat the steps to sign in, and then it gives me "This Apple ID has not purchased Lion. You must sign in with an Apple ID that was used to purchase Lion." But I have purchased Lion. I can see it in my iTunes on my GF's computer.
    How do I fix this? I don't care about having lion at this point. I will take leopard, snow leopard, lion or mountain lion. I am using my girlfriends Mac (10.5.8) with no App store. I don't have any recovery disc, not even snow leopard or leopard.
    Any suggestions to getting a functional OS on this machine are accepted and appreciated.
    Here are my measley thoughts and/or ideas:
    Make a Leopard disc (somehow?) from my GF's computer and boot up using that.
    Download a disc image of one of the OS's and boot up using that.
    Somehow get to a Mac with the App store on it, download my already US purchased Lion install file and either burn that to disc or thumbdrive to install on my mac.
    Throw my computer out the window and never touch another PC again.
    Please help. thanks.

    Here is an update:
    My problem was (among other things) was that I had purchased Lion and not Montain Lion So, I upgraded the other Mac I have access to and purchased the Mountain Lion update. I recovered via internet overnight after making the purchase.
    The OS worked for about 6 or 7 hours and then it shut off on me again for no apparent reason. When I rebooted, the computer went to the Recovery OS, with what seemed like no OS installed. I repaired and rebooted pressing the option key looking for a drive with the OS installed, but there was none.
    So, through internet recovery I would have waited another 6-7 hours to upgrade the system with Mountain Lion via internet. Instead of that, I made a boot disk with the other computer for Mountain Lion. I made it with an SD card. I followed the instructions carefully.
    Using the boot disk I attempted to reinstall. The first few times it would just progress to somewhere near the end and then the install program would close and it would return to the Recovery Option screeen. There was no succesful install and on restart it would not show a regular Mac drive, just the recovery drive. Eventually, it told me near the end of the progress bar that "Items could not be downloaded from the internent" and it would return to the Recovery OS screen, with no succesful install.
    Now, after all this, I have lost the option for internet recovery. The comuter will only go to Recovery HD when the SD card is in the slot, otherwise it flashed the Folder with the Question mark in it....or.....shows me a spinning globe that says internet recovery for a few seconds, and then flashes a yeild sign with an Exclamation point and underneath is says "Apple Error -6002F."
    So I can't use the SD card to successfully install the OS, and I cannot enter the Recovery HD unless the SD card is in the slot. The Recovery HD will not allow me to choose internet recovery mode. I think this may be because if it sees a boot disk it defaults to that.
    Should I try making another USB boot disk? I feel like my problem may be beyond that however, seeing as how originally it would just shut off for no reason then finally it made me reinstall the OS, and then after reinstalling doing the same thing. Would it be a RAM issue? A HD issue? Can I even tell? I cannot enter diagnostic mode either. At least not by rebooting and holding D.
    Thanks to all who read.
    Any info, suggestions, tips or advice?

  • Acrobat Reader X Problem

    I recently upgraded from Acrobat Reader 9 to Acrobat Reader X on Windows Vista. Ever since I have not been able to open any PDF documents that are sent to me via e-mail with Adobe Reader X although I can open up pdf files that are on my computer. When I try to open a e-mailed pdf  document with Acrobat Reader X opened on my desktop it gets opened by Acrobat Professional Version 8 which was preinstalled on my computer and cannot be deleted. This does not stay open because I did not subscribe to the software. I have tried reinstalling Adobe Rearder X as well as using the "Repair Adobe Reader Installation" feature in Adobe Reader "Help" and also via the Control Panel "Set Associations" feature. This has never happend previously with any other Adobe Reader upgrades. I am not certain what else can be attempted or how to resolve the problem?

    Hello Michael,
    I think Galena01 was actually asking about Reader X and not Acrobat.  She was just trying to give additional information.
    I have the same issue in that after installing Reader X, it is no longer possible to open pdf files attached to emails or from websites.  A Reader screen does appear but it remains blank even after several minutes and IE is often locked and a logoff / logon in Windows is required as Task Manager will not shut down IE in this situation.  The only workaround appears to be to open Reader X first, then open the online pdf file.
    I believe Adobe have released faulty code.

  • CS3 reinstall problem - asking for uninstalled CS4 beta

    I have a PowerBook G4 with 1.5 Gb RAM running Mac OS 10.4.11. I have the CS3 Suite installed and last year downloaded a beta copy of Fireworks CS4. After using it a bit, I uninstalled Fireworks CS4 with the Adobe uninstaller.
    I recently had a problem with Bridge and decided to uninstall and reinstall the software. I uninstalled Photoshop CS3 (in order to uninstall Bridge) and when I began to reinstall Photoshop, the installer ask me to insert the Fireworks CS4 disk! Since I don't have that disk, I hit cancel and the install terminated (I tried this multiple times and rebooted each time)
    I then downloaded and ran Adobe's CS4 Cleanup app. It found NO CS4 apps to clean up.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Mark

    Thanks Neil and Buko for your input. Here's where things stand now:
    1) I uninstalled FW CS4
    2) I uninstalled CS3
    3) I ran Cleanup Script
    4) I repaired permissions using Disk First Aid
    5) I reinstalled CS3
    The problems with Bridge remained (sluggish, won't display icons properly, won't show a preview image, won't operate the folder list, etc.).
    So I called Adobe support. Unfortunately, because I am having problems installing CS3 and NOT CS4, support is NOT FREE. The rep was helpful though -- she pointed me to document number 331594 (Diagnosing Bridge problems) and told me to start there. I followed EVERY step . . . disable start-up scripts, reverted to original preferences, cleaned up the cache, disabled the folder windows, and the problems remain.
    Guess I'll have to pay . . .
    Lesson learned: don't trial Adobe software. That's when my problems began.

  • Adobe Reader/Safari Problems

    When I tried to use my Mac (Snow Leopard) to access my bank statement, I got a message that I needed to download Adobe Reader to view the statement. I already had Adobe Reader, so I tried to update it, but I got an error message (1852). I tried reinstalling and got the Installation Successful message. I checked the Internet Plugins in the Library, and the Adobe PDF Viewer Plugin was there, but I didn't see it in the Installed Plugins for Safari. I'm able to view existing PDFs with Adobe Reader, but I still can't read the bank statement on my my Mac; it works fine on our Ubuntu (Linux) computer! I also found another website that requires Adobe Reader where I was not able to view anything!
    I did find this statement in an Adobe Advisory that may explain the problem:
    "Adobe Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-in are not compatible with the Safari 5.1 browser that
    shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 and for 10.6. The Adobe Reader and Acrobat standalone applications
    are unaffected and Safari 5.1 renders PDF documents natively. However, the Adobe Reader and
    Acrobat browser plug-ins will not function as expected in LiveCycle and Acrobat workflows that
    require either plug-in to render PDF documents in Safari 5.1." (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90885.html)
    I tried reinstalling from FireFox, but I didn't have any success with that either! Anyone have any ideas about how to fix this?

    I checked the Internet Plugins in the Library, and the Adobe PDF Viewer Plugin was there, but I didn't see it in the Installed Plugins for Safari.
    In the "Installed Plug-ins" display it would be listed as "Adobe Acrobat Plug-in, Version 10.1.2". 
    I assume you remembered to relaunch Safari after you installed the plugin.

  • Iphoto reinstall problems

    Hi, after numerous problems with "Mavericks" I have ditched it and returned to "Mountain Lion" however, whilst I have been able to rescue "pages", "numbers" etc, I am unable to return to the "mountain lion" version of iphoto. Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how to reinstall an older version of iphoto - one that will operate with Mountain Lion?

    Restore the iPhoto app from your last Time Machine backup from before the upgrade to iPhoto. You cannot download a full version of iPhoto '11 from Apple's Support pages or the App Store, if you already upgraded to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1.
    How did you originally buy iPhoto? If it came preinstalled with an older system (MacOS 10.6), then you will find an iPhoto '11 installer on your system install media with the bundled application. If you bought an iLife '11 installer, use that.
    Other than that, your only option would be to buy iPhoto again ( aniLIfte '11 install DVD) or solve the issues with Mavericks on your system and use the iPhoto 9.5.1 you have.

  • Uninstalling/reinstalling problems

    I am having trouble uninstalling/reinstalling itunes. My add/remove files list says I can not remove the program. When I try to repair or reinstall it. I get a box that pops up that says "The feature you are trying to use is on a network that is unavailable" "Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'itunes.msi' in the box below" then the choices are;
    C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\
    and
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\iTunes 8.0.0.35\
    I am not a very tech savy guy so any help dumbed down for me would be a huge help.
    The problem arose from me trying to run itunes and this message apearing "This action is only valid for products currently installed"
    The library is all still there it now has the songs as quicktime files. Thanks

    In addition to having iTunes open, you must also have at least one track selected for          these features to work. Note that you must have tracks selected,           rather than playlists, albums, etc.

  • Reader causesd problems with acrobat

    I have acrobat Pro 6.0 and occasional need to use reader because it is more current. I installed Reader X and now my Pro 6.0 is corrupted and will not open files. I have uninstalled reader and acrobat and reinstalled acrobat and the problem still persists.

    Ok, I have not been clear enough, thanks for your patience.
    I can open AA6 but when I try to open a document I get a message stating, “ Adobe Acrobat has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.”  There is a link I can select to view more information. The error signature reads
    Error signature
    AppName: acrobat.exe                 AppVer: 6.0.5.399   ModName: unknown
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0               Offset: 00060000
    I then can select to view the error report. I cannot seem to highlight to copy and paste the error report which is a pretty long document.
    Hope this helps

  • Adobe Reader 10 problem with opening pdf files

    Ever since I downloaded and installed Adobe Reader 10, I have been unable to open .pdf files from the Internet.  When
    I try to download them, I only the get the option of saving the file, not opening it.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    We had similar problems with both the upgrade to 9.4.2 and 10.0.1. We would either get the download/save screen or a black screen would appear and eventually error out and freeze up the machine when we tried to hit pages that loaded pdfs stored in Oracle.  We found the pdfs would load when using Chrome or Firefox.
    We're running winXP SP3 and mainly have users using IE 7 and IE 8.  We were eventually able to solve the problem by doing the following:
    Implementing the code fix outlined in this thread (Response.charset = null;) in the page that pulled pdfs from Oracle: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3476821
    Uninstalling and reinstalling the base version of Reader (9.4.0 or X.0) from users' machines that had gone through the update from 9.x to X.x
    Rebooting the machine after each uninstall or install
    Updating the Reader to either 9.4.2 or 10.0.1
    Now we have users who can successfully load the pdfs from Oracle who are running either 9.4.2 or 10.0.1.
    Hope this helps!

  • Reinstall problem with CS3. HELP!!

    Hi there
    I can't open my photoshop so thought i'd reinstall from my creative suite (CS3).
    After a little while it ejects the disc and asks for 'Please insert Adobe Flash CS4 Professional to continue installation'..... but i don't have Adobe Flash CS4 Professional discs...never have. Any ideas??

    Hi, strange as it seems, it's common!?
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407277.html
    Issue
    When you reinstall an AdobeCreative Suite 3 application you receive the error message, "Please insert Adobe [application] CS4 to continue installation."
    On Mac OS:
    1. Download the CS3Installer Patch utility.
    2. Unzip the CS3Installer Patch utility.
    3. Double-click the CS3InstallerPatchMac folder to open the directory.
    Note: Make sure that you are logged in as Administrator.
    4. Double-click the file "CS3installer patch."
    Now reinstall your CS3 application. On Mac OS, go to the [username]/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder and double-click the application you want to reinstall. On Mac OS X, you can't use your CS3 DVD or electronic download of CS3 to reinstall. Running the CS3Install Patch only resolves the problem if you reinstall the application from the Adobe Installers folder.

  • Premiere CS3 Reinstall Problem

    I am currently running Windows XP Pro on a Matrox Axio system in which the CS3 Creative Suite was already installed for me upon purchase. As of late I've had problems with Quicktime (Premiere and After Effects no longer see it as a compatible format) and I was hoping that as a solution, I could reinstall Premiere and After Effects from the original discs.
    This theory might work but when I get the disc to the Progress portion of the reinstall, it asks me to "insert CS3 Production Premium Disc 1 into drive \\prod\Adobeapps". I don't claim to be an expert but I just cannot figure out what the installer is asking me to do and I'm very frustrated. I tried a multitude of Quicktime-related fixes that didn't yield results and I was really hoping to try this particular fix to see if it works. Does anyone have experience with this error? If so, what was your method of bypassing it?
    If this helps in any way, Quicktime stopped working with my system when one day Premiere couldn't get past the CompilerAIFF.prm during the initial program load. I went back a few hours on a system restore and when I got Premiere up and running again, Quicktime was no longer a viable option. I've tried totally reinstalling stand alone Quicktime (and I did use the Windows Installer Clean Up to remove iTunes and Quicktime before the reinstall) and I've tried repairing Quicktime in the Control Panel, and helped. In fact, attempting to repair Quicktime led to a "fatal error on install" and put me back where Premiere got hung up on the CompilerAIFF.prm again.
    Any help I could get would be much appreciated.

    Thanks Neil and Buko for your input. Here's where things stand now:
