Updating Acrobat 9.3.4 driving me mad

Hi
I am running 9.3.4 on a mac Snow leopard.  i keep getting prompted to update to 9.4.0 but when i try the update fails with a message that the Update has failed due to the application having been modified since it was originally installed.
I have tried to search for what this is but cant find any information.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this patch installed.
Thanks
A

Hi,
You can try creating a new account using the instructions here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404927.html. See if the update works now
Also, if you could share some logs for the failing patch, I should be able to help more here
1.  Clear the contents of /user/library/adobe/logs folder
2. Open Console, located in the Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder.
3. Update reader to generate the error message
4. Go to /user/library/adobe/logs and share all the patch log files
5. Check the console for error messages and save the console log file. Please share that too

  • Updating Acrobat 9 Pro does not work

    Hello,
    i'm trying to update Acrobat 9.0 Professional.
    I already tried the atomatic update, but it was stuck somewhere and it made no further progress.
    Now I downloaded all the update files und tried to update Acrobat manually, but it's also stucked.
    The last thing the updater says is "Updating files.... Current file: AcroIEHelper.dll   Remaining time: 19 minutes"
    But the updater says that for some hours for now.
    Do someone know this problem and/or knows a solution?

    Ok, I now got to version 9.3.1
    But the procedure was some kind of weird:
    (I don't know if this is working everytime)
    1.) Deactivating Antivirus and firewall
    2.) Logging in as Administrator: Starting the manual update -> Known Error
    3.) Restarting computer
    4.) Logging in as User (with Admin-Rights): Starting the manual update
    Now the installer reports a running installation (from the adminstrator-account)
    and ask to remove it.
    Now click "yes"
    The installation proceeds successfully.

  • UNKNOWN SYMBOL DRIVING ME MAD, PLEASE HELP!!!

    I have a symbol that has come up on my screen. It's a white box with a black dot inside and a red dot like the 'notification star' on it. It's in the same area as where you get your bbm, facebook, email, etc. notifications. I've tried going through all my apps and nothing is helping. It's driving me mad. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

    Hi DivaAoife,
    Sounds like an update notification for BlackBerry App World. Do you have an email regarding an update? If not, you may be able to see the update notification in My World within App World.

  • Hi, I've used four different Groups when emailing for the past few years, and suddenly they have stopped working. I've tried creating new Groups but that doesn't work either. I haven't changed or done anything different and it is driving me mad......

    Hi, I've used four different Groups when emailing for the past few years, and suddenly they have stopped working. I've tried creating new Groups but that doesn't work either. I haven't changed or done anything different and it is driving me mad......can anyone help, please?!

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

  • Adobe Updater wants to update Acrobat Pro X 10.1.1 to 10.1.1 every day!

    For the past several weeks, dily (and somtime more than once per day) the Adobe Updater says that it wants to update Acrobat Pro X to version 10.1.1. But that's the version that's installed. I keep cancelling it but it's an annoyance that pops up every day and downloads the update (or seems to) every day.
    Can you help me make it stop?
    I've tried letting it do the update from 10.1.1 to 10.1.1 but it gets partially through the process, says that Acrobat has already been updated, and rolls back the changes it made. Yet tomorrow it tells me the same thing.
    Help! Please.
    Thanks.

    Good day TechByter,
    Unfortunately it looks like you'll probably need to uninstall Acrobat and reinstall from scratch if you're getting an Error 1328 when trying to patch Acrobat: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-errors-acrobat-reader-windows.html

  • I have just updated Acrobat to version 10.1.13. I am using a MAC Running Yosemite.  When I try to scan a document, after the printer scans Adobe Acrobat quits and I get an unexpected closure error.

    I have just updated Acrobat to version 10.1.13. I am using a MAC Running Yosemite.  When I try to scan a document, after the printer scans Adobe Acrobat quits and I get an unexpected closure error.  I am running Mac OS 10.10.1.  This only started happening when I installed the update of Adobe Acrobat.

    Hi MEW1,
    Is the printer connected wirelessly or wired?
    Go to Preferences and under categories go to > Convert to Pdf then select the Image Capture and then hit ok button.
    Close Acrobat and then relaunch it and see if it helps you while you do scanning.

  • After Latest Update, Acrobat no longer works

    Yesterday the Adobe updater came up saying that there were some updates to install. After installing the updates, Acrobat now comes up with a Fatal Error. It said something to the effect Acrobat failed to load its core dll file and I also got an error saying:
    acrodist.exe - Application Error
    The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000022). Click OK to terminate the application.
    Here is my setup:
    Design Premium CS4 with Acrobat 9 Pro
    Windows Vista Ultimate
    I tried running a repair re-install and that didn't work. Still get the same error. If someone can help with this it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    I was giong to say, "Help me, Adobe Joe Kenobi", but it looks like you're growing a beard waiting for an answer, too.
    The same thing happened to me today. I trusted the "update" message since it was from Adobe, and apprently did so at my own peril. Now I get the "failed to load Core dll" message with a secondary reference to a memory address.
    Just an observation, but what good are these forums when there are no answers? I see this problem as "Caused by Adobe Update", and would expect them to troublshoot and offer up a remedy. Since you've been waiting over two months with no response, I suppose it's time to trek off wasting more of my precious time to fix their problem. If I find the solution, I'll post it back to you.
    May the Force be with you.

  • Error 1310 when trying to update Acrobat X Pro?

    I keep getting error 1310 when I try to update Acrobat X Error writing to file C:\config.ms.\2c20c8I.rbf. Verify you have access to that file.
    Windows Vista  computer. I am signed on as an administrator with full access. A while back, I was having the same issue with the Master Suite CC and an Adobe Tech had me try many things with no success. Finally all other updates have installed except this one. The tech worked with me and verified the file was ther and was set up tp be accessable. Still no luck. Any ideas, anyone?

    Yes, I checked the file location. It is there and I supposedly have access to it. I went thru this all with an Adobe tech in the past when none of the other Cloud apps would update. Now the only update left is Acrobat x Pro which still gives me the same message. Please note again that I have been getting this message in the past and the message is a common one if you google it and look at all the responses. This is not just my problem!

  • My iphone 5 is 32GB and I keep it backed up in icloud. A recent message suggested that I don't have enough icloud space so I have deleted all back up - it still says no icloud space - help!!! I am not a techy person and this is driving me mad!! :(

    Please can somebody help ....My iphone said not enough icloud space available, so I have delete all back ups and checked what apps are linked to my back up and it is only my photos. Since deleting all current back ups I have tried to back up  again and it still says not enough space when I have 5GB/ 5GB available.
    Can anybody help please? I'd be really greatful as this is driving me mad... why can't things just be simple x

    The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud.  Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device.  Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
    Also check:
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well.  Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
    A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

  • Cannot update Acrobat 8.0

    Hi.
    I have a problem.  I have installed Adobe CS3 Design Premium on my computer.
    (Windows XP SP3, 4GB Ram,250GB HD with 205 free space, Intel Core 2 6600 CPU)
    I cannot install the updates for Acrobat.  Everything else updated.  I had a corrupt profile, which may have caused some errors, so I uninstalled and reinstalled CS3 on my current good profile.  Still I cannot update Acrobat 8.0 Professional.  Acrobat Reader is not installed.
    I get bootstrapper errors when I do the update process within Acrobat:
    (Adobe BootStrapper for chaining multiple patches. has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.)
    I tried the .msp files, but they are not recognized by Windows.  (This patch package could not be opened.  Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package).  I have tried the sequential steps and they don't work.  Starting with the first msp file (AcrobatUpd810_efgj_incr.msp)
    When I go into Help, About Adobe Acrobat Professional, I get Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0.0.
    Can anybody help?

    Did you go to the update page and manually download/install the updates?
