When I attempt to install Adobe Reader, I get the message, "This patch package could not be opened."

Any idea of what I need to do?

Thanks for your interest in my problem. My operating system is Windows
XP. I had an older version of Adobe Reader installed, but recently, my
computer became unable to view pdf files. So I decided to try to update
my version of Adobe Reader. Somewhere in the process, it was suggested
that I delete previous versions of Adobe Reader prior to installing the
new version, so that's what I did. Now when I try to download and
install the version 9 of Adobe Reader, I get the message that , "The
patch package could not be opened."

Let's check your Windows system.
1. Have you done all the important windows updates and service Packs on your system. If not do it now. START button, type in Windows Update and ENTER. Select 'CHECK FOR UPDATES'
2. Let's check your Windows system files for possible file corruption
SCAN and repair possible Windows system file corruption:
Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
type in
sfc /scannow
let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
Restart the computer if it did actually repair any files.
3. Check your system for possible Malware. But you have to do it in WIndows Safe Mode.
Start your computer in "Safe mode with networking", go to this link download a free version of Malwarebyte.
http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
Install and perform update immediately, then do a full SCAN. Remove malware if it indeed finds any. Restart computer to regular windows to let Malwarebyte complete the removal.
To start your computer in safe mode
Press and hold the F8 key as your computer starts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.
On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the "safe mode with networking" option, and then press Enter. Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights.
When your computer is in safe mode, you'll see the words Safe Mode in the corners of your screen. To exit safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.

10.1.1 uninstall & 10.1.4 install problem. "This patch package could not be found"

Cannot fully uninstall Reader 10.1.1 or instal 10.1.4 as same Microsoft error message comes up:
"This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Window installer patch package."
Have tried uninstalling through Windows and then Advanced System Care uninstaller - same error.
Have tried installing Reader 10.1.4, as Adobe usually does uninstall of older version as part of installing newer version - same error.
Tried Adobe direct install - same error.
Checked forums but could not find entry for this error.

Remove the corruped installation using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

Uninstall Reader X - Patch package could not be opened.

I am trying to uninstall Reader X in hopes that when I reinstall it some other issues will clear up. However, when clicking remove or update in Control Panel, I get the same result. "This patch package could not be opened...." Same message I have seen in a host of other postings.
Can I follow the same general instructions for manual uninstall that are in the knowledge base for Reader 8? Are there any additional steps/registry modifications? I am running XP/SP3.

You could try using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove all traces of any existing versions of Reader. This utility is no longer supported by Microsoft because it can conflict with Win 7, but you can still find it in sites like http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459

Just check if there is any user folder(my documents) redirected. Remove that re-direction and then try re-install

If you haved tried all the fixes and suggestions, there is not much to add. Just in case: did you really try using this tool http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html to first eliminate all traces of Reader, and then use the full offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/?

TS1368 My wifi works fine and I can access the store fine, but when I try to install an app, I get the message "cannot connect to iTunes store"

My wifi works fine and I can access the store fine, but when I try to install an app, I get the message "cannot connect to iTunes store"

I am guessing there is an issue with the store right now considering so many people are having the same problem on different platforms. I can't access it with my iPod Touch 4th Gen, yet my wifi is working and I can access the internet using other apps, but when I go to update a couple of apps from the iPod, I get the same error message after I try to sign in to the store.

Make sure your Mac qualifies for Mountain Lion > Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
If you have anti virus software installed, disable that before downloading apps.
Turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (or Security & Privacy) > Firewall
Try deleting the cache, cookies, and preference files (plist) associated with the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Now here:
~/Library/Preferences
Click Go
Move these files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
com.apple.appstore.plist
com.apple.storeagent.pllist
Now here:
~/Library/Cookies
Click Go
Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, try the App Store.

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
