Trying to uninstall Acrobat 7 on Mac running OS 10.4

I am doing an uninstall and then a reinstall on all my Adobe Creative Suite products and I cannot uninstall Acrobat 7. The message says "The application selected was not a valid Acrobat 7.0 application for this uninstaller. Please rerun the uninstaller." Rerunning doesn't work either. I am running OS 10.4. How do I get it uninstalled? Thanks.

Look and see on Adobe website support software downloads if there is an updated un installer.
If there is dowload and run it. If none try the following:
If not do a find file From find and type Acrobat. each of the items that shows in find file click on and drag to Trash.
Repeat the find file procedure until nothing shows up.
Do not remove any pdf's created.
Now see if you can re install.
At one point during the Acrobat 7 series they went to a complete install of a Brand new package (I believe 7.5) So you would have a Directory listed as 7.0 and then one as 7.5.
If so you may have to run uninstall on both versions.

Trying to uninstall Acrobat 10, I get an Error 1316. The specified account already exists

I am a new Creative Cloud Subscriber. I tried to install Acrobat XI Pro and received an error during the installation. I contacted support, and they had me uninstall the partial installation of Acrobat XI, and then reboot the machine.
After the reboot I attempted to install Acrobat 11 from a full version that I downloaded from the Adobe website, based on the information provided to me by support.
That did not work and while the software was trying to uninstall Acrobat X I received an Error 1316, and it quit.
Now when I try to remove Acrobat 10, I get the Error 1316 The specified account already exists.
What do I need to do to uninstall Acrobat 10 and Install Acrobat 11.

You will need to repair AA X before you can uninstall it. AA XI typically breaks part of prior versions in that removal of AA XI, removes those parts of XI the overwrote parts of X and thus X is broken.

Trying to Uninstall Codec-M: the Mac variant of Codec-C

I'm running Firefox 10.0.2 on a Mac running OS X 10.6.8. Last week I made a bad mistake, and allowed "Codec-M" to load on my computer. This appears to be the Mac version of Codec-C.
It installed into Firefox as an Add-On. It's visible in the Firefox>Preferences>Manage Add-ons page, however there is no remove button, so I became suspicious.
I've found it's not where it should be. I opened the Firefox bundle in my user account and it's not in the Extensions folder.
The Firefox>Help>Troubleshooting Information gave me its ID, which is "{EEF73632-A085-4fd3-A778-ECD82C8CB297}". This appears on NO file on my hard-drive by a simple search, so whatever this thing is it's gone to ground. It's listed as being disabled, but with the other details considered, I don't trust that.
I used the instructions at "https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20plugins#w_manually-uninstalling-a-plugin", exposed my plug-in paths, went to About:plugins and it doesn't appear in the list. All the other ones do, but it is not listed.
I tried going to the Global Firefox folders, but there's nothing in there either.
I'd appreciate some help. It might be coincidence, but my internet has been running VERY slow since this started, and I'm worried about my personal info.
How do I force this thing off my Mac?

I ran into a movie player telling me I needed to install the Codec-M 1.0.0.1 to watch the streaming movie. I have seen these Codec's before and did not notice the -M at the end of Codec until later. After I gave it the OK to install, I became immediately suspicious because there were two boxes asking me if I wanted to make Codec-M my browser homepage and the other if I wanted it to be a default for Firefox. The thing was, they were ALREADY Checked!!
So, thinking I was smart, I unchecked them (probably what saved me from an attack) Then I STUPIDLY clicked the "Install" button. It then asked to store the Install DMG into my firefox ADD-ONS!! ... where I "could always change its location later"!!! I KNEW this was malware NOW! But with no way out I told it to store the install/un-install DMG onto my desktop. Once it was there I opened it. There was indeed a install and a un-install there.
That was when a pop up notice came up and said something like "We recommended you install this into your Firefox as a default" or something like that. I don't remember all if it , for blood was shooting from my eyes, while trying to avoid a disaster at the same time.
Apparently they did not like it when I unchecked their pre-checked boxes then ignored their "ADVICE' and put the malware onto my desktop instead of in the Firefox browser. Whatever this thing is/was, it was certainly interested in gaining access to my browser, anywhere, anyhow!!
Luckily I have "Clean-My-Mac" software installed on my Mac and I immediately went to it and threw away the In/un-install DMG file by dragging it to the uninstall application section and clicking clean.
But that was the first step. Then I had to retrieve the Codec-M icon from my application folder and do the same thing. Lastly there was one more disc player icon labelled Codec-M that was also on my desktop and I dragged that to my Mac cleaner as well.
Needless to say I also had to change my master Id because its required to let them install their crap. I just hope that they did not squeeze anything through while I was unprotected!! ARRRRRGH!!
Hope this helps those who may have run into this imposter. First one I ever ran into in 6 years. I've had "Clean My Mac for 4 years and I use it to clean all sorts of unnecessary junk that collects in my system from time to time. I have also used it to get rid of apps I no longer want. I don't know if it does a thorough job like "APP-ZAPPER" but it zapps most of them and all the junk they leave behind.
Good Luck!

I am trying to uninstall a program that is running in the background but does not show when I force quit. How do I remove it?

How do I uninstall a program that is running in the background but does not show in Force Quit?

Open Activity Monitor and look for the program. Select it and Quit or Force quit it from within Acitiviy Monitor.
Search for the application with Find Any File as it can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, system folders and packages. You can drag the app and any associated files from the search result window to the Trash bin in the Dock.

How to uninstall Acrobat X on a Mac which now has Acrobat XI.

I'm plagued by not being able to get rid of Acrobat 9 and X now that I have Acrobat XI through Adobe CC. My uninstall apps have disappeared or don't work. Is it possible to manually get rid of these unwanted files?

Problem uninstalling Acrobat 9

I had a long expired trial version of Acrobat 9 on my computer. I may have inadvertently deleted the installer recently, and have run into propblems. Every time I try to open any file on my computer, Windows Installer wants to run the installer, but it can't find it, because a file called Acropro.msi is not available. I tried to uninstall Acrobat 9, but I got a message saying that it cannot be removed. When I realized the problem was likely due to having deleted the installer, I thought that, if I installed a trial version of Acrobat 10, it would include uninstallation of the old program. That didn't work either, because Windows installer again is looking for AcroPro.msi to complete the task.
So, I now have a downloaded trial version of Acrobat 10 that won't install, and an old trial version of Acrobat 9 that won't uninstall, as well as a very annoying dialogue box that opens every time I try to open a file.
Help. please!

That probably won't go away without heavy surgery on the Windows registry. You'd have to manually delete acouple of keys like the relevant Adobe keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and other such places as well as the file type handlers in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT branch. Other than that the simple solution would be to reinstall Acrobat 9, then uninstall it...

Uninstall Acrobat 8.1.2 Standard

I'm trying to uninstall Acrobat 8.1.2 Standard via the control panel and I get a message stating: The installation source for this product is not available.
Any suggestions as it says it's using 641MB and all I need is Reader X which I have installed.
Thanks!

I've had problems simular to this with other software. Something was over-written and it can't uninstall.
The fix I would use, is uninstall Reader, reinstall Acrobat 8, then uninstall it, and finally reinstall Reader.

You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT adminstrator or Adobe customer support for help
I already Uninstalled and reinstalled the product and it still does not work.

Hi,
Try to uninstall the software again and you have to manually
Delete the following folders:
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/backup
[Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
Go to Applications-->Utilities-->Disk Utility, Open it and Select the MAC HD and then click on Repair permissions.
After that try to run the cleaner tool as mentioned by kglad.
Restart machine and then try to install again.
*** Make sure , you only delete these folders if there is no other adobe applications installed on the machine. As if you have any other Adobe application of the suite ( not free applications ) then it will be a problem.

I have got Acrobat 10.1.13 for Mac running Yosemite - and the 'advanced search' feature has stopped functioning - it doesn't install the search window, nothing happens - so I uninstalled acrobat, reinstalled it - but it still not working?

It's a 3rd party app. You really should contact Adobe Support and/or post in the Adobe Forums
Mac OS X (10.6.6)
Use Software Update or the OS 10.6.8 combo update to update your OS. Also, update everything SU has to offer for your computer. When done, repair permissions and restart your computer.

Installations stops when trying to install Adobe Acrobat XI on Mac OS 10.8.4

I kept getting this message that Adobe Acrobat was not able to update the software and so I decided I would just update my software from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for mac to vs 11. I called tech support and they told me to uninstall acrobat 9 Pro completely first, which I did. Now, I have downloaded version 11 and tried installing this via the trial (wanted to make sure it worked) and as it goes through the install process, it gets hung up with one minute to go trying to rewrite script files. It stays like this for enternity. If you right click on installer to force quit the install, it won't let you. If you go to the apple sign and force quit it from the menu, it will kill the installer. However, the computer won't shut down because it still thinks it is installing software. So the only way to kill it is to do a hard reset. I called tech support and was on hold for for 40 minutes and then the tech tried for an hour to fix this. This included deleting the uninstall program for Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and also reinstalling the software from a fresh download that he sent me. I still had the same result.
To make matters worse, I only have Acrobat Pro v 8 on disc (there was a free vs 9 upgrade that was online that I got) and as a result, I don't have version 9 to install back onto the computer. The tech was going to try to send me a link to download version 9 but he wasn't sure he could do it. Someone was going to get back to me, but no one has yet. So now, not only do I not have version 11, I don't even have my old version 9!!!! My only option is to go back to version 8 which I have the disk for. This is ridiculous. So if anyone out there has some suggestions on how I can get version 11 to install, that would be great. I am running Mac OS X 10.8.4 on a 13" Macbook Pro with Retina. Thanks.

I've been scouring every place I can possibly think of for nearly four hours trying to find an Acrobat 9 Mac download - no luck I can find Windows downloads back to 8, but nothing for Mac.
