Unable to install Reader X (10.1.1) on iMac running OS X 10.6.8

I'm able to download the Reader X dmg file just fine. All goes well right up until the end of the installation process, when I get the following (see screenshot).
Further, a correct-looking app icon then appears in my Applications folder, but when I try to launch it, it crashes immediately. The following appears in the console:
12/14/11 12:35:26 AM
com.apple.launchd.peruser.502[137]
([0x0-0x49049].com.adobe.Reader[706]) posix_spawn("/Applications/Adobe Reader.app/Contents/MacOS/AdobeReader", ...): Permission denied
Please help....

Problem installing officejet pro 6830 software on my iMac running Snow Leopard

Greetings, I have a problem installing officejet pro 6830 software on my iMac running Snow Leopard. When I insert the HP software disc onto my iMac, and go to the HP website, it says:
"403" Ooops! Request forbidden...
Any possible solutions to this? Thanks for any feedback...

Hi @RNOjetnow ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue with needing the drivers for the 10.6 Snow Leopard OS. You should be able to install the Apple Drivers just by connecting the USB cable.
Here is a document that might help.
Hope this helps you install the drivers.
Thanks.

Unable to Install Reader 9.1 or Uninstall 9.0

Windows Vista Home Premium
Adobe Reader 9.0 currently installed.
If I try to uninstall 9.0 or install 9.1, the following error occurs:
Error 1402. Could not open key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Class\Interface\(46B89F5A-769D-4792-AD9A-E3755915CB3}\TypeLib
Going into RegEdit to open the key elicits the following:
Error Opening Key
TypeLib cannot be opened.
An error is preventing this key from being opened.
Details: Access is denied.
So I'm stuck. I can't remove or install anything related to Adobe Reader.
Please help ... any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I deleted the Adobe Reader entry in Windows Install Clean Up utility, restarted, then tried to install Reader 9.1. Same registery error as before.

Unable to install Adobe flash player silently while IE is running.

How to install Adobeflash player Active x while IE is running. I have tried with .exe and .MSI also error is showing same even it's not happening manually also.Have any Idea?

In our environment we got around this by using the Powershell app Deploy Toolkit. (http://psappdeploytoolkit.com)
What we did was we created an Application using the application model and the deployment type would only run when a user was logged on and the user was allowed to interact. This prompts the user to close IE and other browsers or defer installation up to
five times.
We created a second deployment type that would only run when no user was logged on. In this deployment type we took advantage of the powershell app deploy toolkits ability to run in NonInteractive mode.
Its more work than previous years and it hassles your users to some extent but the way I.T. is now moving towards a more self-service approach e.g. app stores and BYOD. This is another example of opening the doors a little bit.

Installing Windows 7 on a late 2009 iMac running Mavericks

I'm running a perfectly good late-2009 iMac running Mavericks and had a bootcamp partition that worked until I needed to replace my hard drive.
Now I want to install Windows 7 (via bootcamp) for gaming. Bootcamp 5 won't download the software or allow a USB/ISO Windows 7 load due to my model/ROM version, which is:
Model Name:               iMac
Model Identifier:          iMac10,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          3.33 GHz
Number of Processors:          1
Total Number of Cores:         2
L2 Cache:                      6 MB
Memory:                       8 GB
Bus Speed:                    1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version:        IM101.00CC.B00
I've read quite a few threads about the apple software download server issues, creating an ISO, adjusting the BootCamp package, using virtualbox, etc. to bypass this. But can't find anything addressing my specific situation where I'm running mavericks AND have an older ROM version that won't allow USB install for some stupid reason.
I've made an ISO boot disk (and USB), tried adjusting my BootCamp package strings, and have virtualbox, winclone, Daemon tools, etc. but can't get to the point where I can upload the bootcamp software and Win7. Has anyone solved this problem?

No one has done this before?

Unable to install reader/view PDF files

Hi all,
Here's another wierd one... suddenly, I cannot download or view PDF files in Safari. I have attempted to download acrobat reader for a re-install, but neither safari nor firefox will download the complete file. Adobe says the file is 21 megs, but when downloaded (takes 3 seconds!!) file size shows 409 Kb everytime I try it. When I click the .dmg I get a message that says "unable to open file... unsupported file type" or similar statement. Any idea what might be happening here? I'm running 10.4.8 and everything used to work fine, although I hated Acrobat because it took 30 seconds to load!!!
Thanks for your input.

Correction... downloaded Reader file is actually a folder named "DownloadReader.pkg" and double-clicking on it causes the message "File could not be opened because the specified format is not supported"

Error 1935 - unable to install Reader 8.1.2 on Vista SP1

I know that others have posted on this issue, but neither of the suggested fixes have worked for me. The 'fsutil' command prompt had no effect, and Ghaurav's suggestion of defeating the uninstall by copying all the files from the directory and replacing them resulted in an 'invalid plugin' error every time I tried to start Reader.
Is anyone from Adobe monitoring this forum? Any others out there having this problem, or have a fix?

OK, the final chapter. Microsoft tech support had me run a system file checker utility. The command line is 'sfc /scannow'. The utility reported that I had corrupt system files, but I still have no idea how that happened. I was unable to roll back the installation of Vista SP1, so I ended up reinstalling Vista (and every other program I have) from scratch. It took a full day of installing, upgrading restoring my backed up files, but I ended up with a clean version of Vista SP1, and the adobe problem is gone.
Does this story have a happy ending? No. I decided to run SFC on my laptops. I have corrupt system files on my office laptop, and it's interfering with installing XP SP3. No other symptoms, so I'll ignore XP SP3 for as long as I can.

Unable to install Reader on OS X 10.7.5

Have gone through download and install process, and the install app seems to run, but then the application just isn't there.
Have looked at security settings in Safari, but I do not have the option to allow Java, only Javascript.
Any ideas appreciated.

Hi sdigrande,
Please try downloading Adobe Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise

Unable to install reader on my Mac

I can open installer, then drop down box comes up with my name already listed. When I enter my password, it doesn't accept it. I have changed passwords and it still doesn't work. Help?

I didn't think it required logging in either, but this is what I get. When I enter my password, it doesn't work.

Unable to install FlashPlayer 10.3 on my new iMac

I am experiencing the same problems other people note about this new version. I have attempted numerous times to install it, uninstall it, re-install it. It says it is installing it and there is something there to remove, but it doesn't work and my favorite apps tell me I still need to install the latest version? Dangit, the earlier version worked brilliantly, but now it's lost and the game web-sites keep insisting they have to have this one.
The Adobe trouble shooting site was not helpful. I could not figure out how to use it and it did not appear to scan my computer looking for the installed program. Couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong.
My browser is the latest version of Safari on a brand new iMac. Thought my problems would be over when I converted to Apple, but guess that was naive.

Hi, You can try the manual method. I'm not sure if any of Flash Player was installed or not, but to be sure, I'd download and SAVE the Uninstaller per this site for the Mac.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Then go to this site and download and SAVE the Installer either to your Desktop or the location for Mac.
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Close all browsers windows and reboot after Uninstalling and then Reboot after Installing.
I think also Mac users are supposed to repair permissions after Installing, by running Disk Utility.
Hope this helps,

Installing snow leopard on a disc partioned imac running lion.

I've read of people installimg snow leopard on there macs running lion in a disc partitioned hard drive but my imac will not allow it.
It gives me an error message that it will not run on this mac and I need to install X 23.1.1.
Tried using the disc as start up but it just gives of a neverending series of 3 beeps. Anyone have a solution for this?

The disk is too old. Perform the installation on another computer, update it to 10.6.8, and move the system back. If that doesn't work, nothing will(besides running Mac OS X Server 10.5 or 10.6 in emulation.)

Install classic on a Non-OS X iMac - run on new PB?

Hello!
I have reciently been messing with my old iMac G3 DV (192ram, 60GB, 400mhz, 9.2.2), and am curious about running it in target mode.
I currently have Classic installed on my 15" PB, running 10.4.4, and it works fine. However, i'm running out of hard disk space, and would like to remove classic, and my old OS 9 apps to save room.
I have my iMac connected to my power book via FireWire target mode, and can run software stored on my iMac's hard drive on Classic in my PB. Is it possible, to install classic on my imac, or (preferably) use 9.2.2 already on my iMac, to run classic apps? for ease of switching input/output devices, i'd like to be able to at least display them on my PB.
I guess what i'm asking is if i can use the iMac like a HD , and run OS 9 directly off of it, kinda like booting OS X via FireWire hard drive.
Is this possible, or am i just daydreaming?
-Dan

To answer:
No, not at the time. When it crashed, I was using the IMac as an iMac. That's how I usually do it.
What exactly is a TDM link, anyway?
Oops, TCP/IP Control panel.
About iMovie - Most go to the 120. I keep some of the compressed MPEG-4s on my main, but usually they're on the external. When I'm working on movie in DV, however, I sometimes have to keep it on the main - it slows down if you have too many clips - can't transfer quick enough via USB, I guess.
It's not as much of a challenge as you think - I've got 50 G used right now.
around 1.6G go to the system, (folder), 6Gig for applications, around 9G for application support (when they say 10G for iLife 06, they're not kidding! - it's mostly themes, Garageband loops, and other doodads). Then there's 1.5 for the developer tools, ~3G for documents, (~2.5 of which is Virtual PC) 7 Gig for iPhoto (when I only have 5 G of photos - hm...), 15.5 G of music, another 3 G for the library. Who knew that backup had a 500 MB cache? There's 800 Meg of emails (and attachments - soon to be deleted!), and more garageband loops... O.o
It goes quick!
About the PB locations: Yep, I try to find spots with power too. However, I'm on a college campus - walking 4-5 miles a day. It's also 100 degrees today - HDD's don't like that, or the shaking. When I do find a spot, it's usually in the library, student union, or food court. None are good places for an extra HDD.
In any case, I don't need the HDD during most days - I'm at school, after all - but its nice to be able to work on iMovie during my off time at lunch monday (2 hours! :D) That's why my old Clickwheel is so useful - it carries most of my current projects around - and enough music for the walk - and is very portable.
It's not a lot of things that don't work - most do - particularly the assigned sites. However, the discs that come with new text books don't usually work with Mac. Ran into that trouble while doing practice exercises...

15" Powerbook G4 (May 2005 ed), iMac DV (9.2.2) Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1G Ram, 192 (iMac)

I installed Office:mac 2011 on my new iMac running 10.8.3 and discovoed my file transfer from my old macbook installed Office:mac 2088. Now I have both installed and none of the office apps work - I keep getting the same error message

I recently purchased an iMac to replace my 2008 macbook.
I used migration assitant to transfer all of my macbook files to the iMac. I noticed that I had the old 2008 version of Office:mac 2008 on the iMac and decided to install Office:mac 2011 which installed successfully.
However, now I can't open excel or word or powwerpoint now using either 2008 or 2011.... I just get an error message saying there was an error and the app had to close. It offers to send a report to Microsoft.
I tried moving Office:mac 2008 to trash but this didn't resolve the issue.
Can anyone help (I am not a really sohpisticated user so be gentle)
Thanks Dave
