Reader download problem answered

I was trying to figure why when downloading Reader to my windows XP Pro Sp 3 IE 8 desktop I was getting an error window saying a script error occurred on this page and it would ask if I wanted to continue. If I said yes it would hang for ever. So I was chasing the very sensible suggesstions and after about 1 hopur and half of my hair I spied a URL on the script error window that popped up originally and whenevr I retried the install/download. I went to the url and it offere me a download of something so i jumped on it. I tried to download/install reader again and it worked! So I am trying to get that info out there but dont really know how so here it is for anyother poor soul thats coming up MT trying everything else. So If someone knows how, please disseminate this info where it will help.

Hah. Yes it is a little rugged. I printed it but did not save so i found the discard, scanned it and there you are. The point I was trying to make was exchanging information that may help someone who encounters an obstacle such as this. In the moment that this was happening there was no such mention of what you are saying except for a Microsoft file search document that came up. That would involve either paying for an offline installer or getting a freebie that has catches and conditions that a neophyte considers stressful and causes consternation and runs around in a panic. Not everyone knows the benefits of forums. I do now after spending money I di not need to and bothering people to help me. That being said. I personally have never seen something like this that actually has the URL to access for the installer. See, its easy if you know how but, a different story if you are ignorant of the finer points of troubleshooting. Soooo, I just wanted to know where to put this info so somebody might possibly benefit from my experience. That is what I am trying to tell you.

    You don't need Adobe AIR to download or install Adobe Reader.
    Try downloading the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • Adobe Reader download problem! Pls help!

    I recently did a little 'housekeeping' on my Mac to clear up some space. But I must have deleted something I shouldn't have...When I go to open Adobe Reader an error message pops up. "Adobe Reader could not install correctly" then in subtext "Adobe Reader was unable to install and must quit."
    I have never had problems before. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try to disable Protected Mode (Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)).
    If not, tell us your operating system and Reader version.

  • Reader Download Problem

    Downloaded latest Reader, but it displays error message when called up that seems to imply that I'm running Windown NT 5.1 when I'm actually running Windows XP Home Edition, SP3...  HELP!

    NT 5.1 is Windows XP's internal name. So far nothing wrong here. Beyond that we would need to know the exact error message. Quite possible you need to do something on your system because you are missing a critical Windows Update or whatever...

  • Because I have my photos hooked up on a download problem, my Back Up onto I cloud is reading 5 hours. can you suggest how to unhook it all

    I need to unhook this problem of my photos downloading permenantly, because when I try to Icloud backup, it says it will take 5 hours. please offer suggestions

    Often a simple reboot will resolve the problem. If it doesn't, do a test copy in the Finder from the source to the backup volume. Is that slow too? Delete the copied files from the backup volume after the test.

  • Adobe Reader for IPad Download Problem

    I downloaded several files last evening but this morning I found them only in the 'recent' file and not in documents.
    How can I move the files from recent to documents?
    (I have a brand new iPad and the latest update of Adobe Reader for iPad.)
    The only options on the 'open' menu are for  iBooks, which is so unreliable that I downloaded Adobe Reader in the first place. (The files disappear in the middle of the download.)
    I tried emailing to myself to then save the PDF from email, but the docs appear as text and pics within the email and are no longer an attached .pdf.
    Any ideas?

    I can't explain it, but whenever I have a problem with an iOS app, I close out and re-open.
    You can also force quit an app (remove it from memory): Click the Home button to return to the Home screen. Double-click the Home button to view the recent app list at the bottom. Click and hold over the Adobe Reader icon to show the red "delete" icon. Click Adobe Reader again and it will disappear from memory.
    Click the Home button and relaunch. That opens Reader up anew, and refreshes it.

  • Adobe Reader 9 after download problem.

    I have downloaded reader 9 numerous times but each time I am unable to open it or any of my other progames, on cliking to open I get the following message: "This file does not have a programe associated with it. For performing this action create an association in the set associations control panel" I am running windows Ultimate.
    I have never had any problem in the past with previous versions I did try version 8 but this was the same, can anyone help, I have a very basic knowledge. Ken

    I have had the same problem with Acrobat 9 Pro (and Acrobat Reader, and trying to print PDF's within IE).  In my case it seems to be related to my recent Internet Explorer 9 install.  I had disabled the Adobe IE plugins (as well as others) for better performance, as Microsoft suggests.  When I re-endabled the plugins in IE9, Adobe Acrobat 9 started printing again -- at least once every 3 tries; sometimes it would work with Print button, others with File > Print menu, and still others with right click > Print.
    In any case, I fully blame Adobe.  Having a dependency in your core app on something that sits inside another app as an add-on...?  Inexcusable, and very poor software design.  So add poor design to the poor technical support we're seeing on this issue.  I hate to be this harsh, but after reading the forums about the same error, spanning months and months with no resolution, I have no other response for Adobe's lack of dealing with this issue properly.
    I even re-installed Acrobat 9 Pro, with no success in fixing the problem.  Buggy.

  • Download problem/loss of older version of Adobe Reader

    I have been trying all day to upgrade my Adobe program on my laptop but have not only failed to install the latest version (10X) with various error messages but also have lost my original one (version 9?) that I have been upgrading every time a new one comes out.  I have also been unable to download any Adobe Reader so now I cannot access any of my pdf files!  Help!

    Error 1310, usually notifies that there is something that is causing the installation to fail, most of the time its the anti-virus software installed on the machine. You may wanna try the below article in case of error 1310.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-1310-error-writing-file.html
    Try updating your adobe reader now and check.
    You may also uninstall reader 9 from add/remove programs and then goto adobe.com and download and install the latest adobe reader X.

  • Download Adobe Reader 11 problem.

    When I attempt to download Adobe Reader 11, the program stops after "preparing installation" and the file download dialog box does not appear.  How can I fix this?

  • Problem with Reader download and McAfee

    I am the administrator of a small charity with a number of very naive users. They need to be able to read PDFs and so must have a PDF reader. I can tell them the link to download the Adobe Reader but unless they untick the McAfee box they will install McAfee. Most of them will then be thrown in unrecoverable confusion. It's no great help if I warn them that they need to untick the McAfee box - many will forget. And uninstalling McAfee will be way beyond many of them.
    Is there a link I can give them which will enable them to download the Reader without getting McAfee by default?
    I could find an alternative non-Adobe reader and give them the link to that, but there is a further complication that we have got some more competent users who need to edit and return the PDFs I send them. Is there an alternative product which would enable them to do that?
    I don't want to have to provide two links, one for naive users to a non-Adobe reader and the other for more competent users to the Adobe Reader with a warning about unticking McAfee.

    Many thanks to Pat for the very prompt response.
    I followed the link suggested by Pat and requested the right to distribute the Reader as the Administrator of the charity. The email granting the right gave me a link to a window from which I was able to download the Installer for the Reader, an executable file, without having to untick McAfee. That is what I would like our members to be able to do, but it seems to me that the only person allowed to use this link is me as the Administrator - I don’t think I can pass it on to the members.
    I think that instead I am expected to pass the installer executable file to the members. The email says I would do that, for example, as a download bundled in with the Distributer’s installer. We don’t have anything like that. I assume that in principle I could attach the file to an email and send it to the members, but it is far too large for an email attachment. Other means of getting it to the members, such as a private Dropbox, would get too complicated for our least technically able members.
    I can’t find any way to email Adobe Support about this, so hope that pat or other people in this group might have some ideas.

  • Track pad problem! Read. Please answers if you know...

    Hi,
    Recently my dad gave me his old blackberry curve as he purchased the new blackberry torch. It worked fine for a week then the tracked stopped and I couldn't move around on my phenomenal the other buttons worked I could type BBM but the tracked didn't work, but shortly after, after I turned it off and on it started working again, so I thought it was just a glitch. Then it kept happening until on day about a week back it stopped and didn't move. So I got a new tracked fitted for £20 then it worked, I was really pleased. But then the next day it stopped. I figured out that if you push in the back it starts working again? It has been treated well. Is there any thought or was to fix this please....

    UPDATE:  I have learned that my problem is related to a "resourse folder" which must go wherever the file goes in order for it to have sound.  This is a bit inconvinient for me, as my client is computer illiterate.  I really want to find a way to just embed the sound into a file that you can just open and play.  To the best of my knowlege, SWF format is the only format that allows for the page turning animation.  Does anyone know a way to embed the sound into the SWF file or am I SOL here?
