Update from 8.1 to XI failed 5 times; error message that 8.1 is running(not); windows xp, ver 2002

While trying to update from reader 8.1 to readerXI, install has failed 5 times after getting an error message that 8.1 is using files that need to be updated (it is not running): operating system is windows xp, version 2002.  Do I need to uninstall 8.1 before trying to update, and how can I be sure that XI will install correctly and not leave me holding an empty bag if I do this and the download still does not install

I always recommend to uninstall old versions when upgrading and skipping versions.

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    What updates are you trying to download?
    The last update was 9.0.3 - check by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Photoshop Elements
    The last supported Camera raw is ACR 6.5 - check by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Plug-ins -> Camera Raw
    Do you have a reason to update?

  • I recently reset my computer and copy my music from an external hard drive to my itunes library.  When I click on a song to play i get an error message that says " the song could not be used because the original file could not be found".  need help

    I recently reset my computer and copy my music from an external hard drive to my itunes library.  When I click on a song to play i get an error message that says " the song could not be used because the original file could not be found".  But when I have my external hard drive plug in the song will play with no problem.  What do I need to do to play my music without having the external harddrive plug in ????????  Please help

    Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive.  If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
    You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
    Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
    -Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
    -Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down.  You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
    -Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes.  Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked.  You can close Preferences now.
    -Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library.  iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
    Shouldn't have any more problems...

  • Why do I get an error message that my macbook pro will not accept an adobe update

    I have a Mac OS 10.9.1 and flash player version of 12.0. Now all of a sudden after latest download of adobe I get an error message that Mac OS system is not compatible with Adobe Player. Also I can"t print .pdf anymore.

    There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default.  It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence.  Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.

  • My apple tv it is not authorized to play a movie that I received as a gift from the itunes store. It plays on my G5 but after downloading to apple tv, when I try to play the movie,  i get an error message that says the apple tv not authorized to play it

    When I try to play a movie I downloaded from iTunes on my apple tv, the error message I get says the apple tv is not authorized to play the movie. I reauthorized the computer to be sure it is authorized ( as per Apple advice).

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If this is the Apple TV 1, this is a new issue which started with any new protected content purchased after October 28.
    You could de/re authorise your computer, disconnect and reconnect the library and resync your content, alternatively purchasing content directly from the Apple TV also appears to resolve the problem.

  • HT1351 My fifth generation nano will no longer sync my address book from my Mac. It gives me an error message that "You have no contacts" and asks me if I want to create some.  My address book is full of contacts. Sync works for everything else.

    My 5th generation nano will no longer Sync my address book from my Mac.  It gives me a message that I have no "Contacts", and asks if I want to create some.  My address book is full of contacts, but for some reason it thinks it is empty.  All the other sync operations work fine including iCal.  My Mac is running OS X 10.7.4.

    It sounds like all of your contacts on your Mac running Lion are actually stored up in iCloud. 
    Several users running Mac OS X Lion and now ML (and iCloud) have no longer been able to "sync" contacts over to their older iPods models.
    A work around is to export all of your contacts out of Address Book as vCards and them copy these vCards into your iPod's Contacts folder.  You'll need to have the Enable Disk Use option ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in order to browse out to the iPod's Contacts folder via the Finder.
    Using your iPod as a storage drive
    That's the only "solution" I have been able to use to get contacts to sync/appear on my 5G iPod Video.

  • HT5654 I performed the update to my iphone to get the latest version, but now it does not want to activate my phone and displays the error message that the activation server is not available. Tried itunes and no luck. help anyone

    I have an iphone 3gs of which I attempted the latest IOS pdate through itunes. Now, it shows the original start up screen and when it gets to the activiaton screen it displays an error message stating: Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.  Help anyone??

    "We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

  • How can I remove Apple Software update from Programs in Control Panel. I grt a message that there is an error in Windows Installer Package?

    I get this message: "A program required for this install to complete could not be run.
    There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package". OS, Windows 7-64

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
