Double-click the white Adobe Reader Icon to open a new windows.
Double-Click the "Adobe Reader X Installer.pkg" file inside.
If it has already been installed it will notify you and say that it has been installed already.
If you no longer have those files go here to get the latest version of Adobe Reader.

Let me know how that all goes and if you have any hang ups.

It sounds to me from researching the other white 'icon' you have that you are trying to install a copier by the brand of Rico Aficio.
Possibly the Aficio 2090/2105.
If so the install CD/Driver download for that copier must have also wanted you to install Adobe Reader to view the User Guides/ Documentation included.
If you are trying to install said device then double click the white icon labeled Ricoh_Aficio...double click the installer file inside of that.
It should run a setup/install window like Adobe Reader did then go from there. If it has already been install also you can go to your System Preferences -> Printers to see if it installed correctly and is working properly.
You can get to system preferences by clicking the Apple icon very upper left on your screen and selecting it from the drop down.

  • When i download software updates, do I need to delete old versions from my computer?

    I'm updating my software on my Macbook (I'm a bit rubbish at keeping them up to date) and I noticed another tab entitled 'Installed Software' which has various versions of Itunes, Security updates etc on it. Do I need to delete these or are they self-deleting as i update items? I don't want to have my computer running slow due to too many versions of software on there that i don't need.

    You need to set your primary email rules to delete your emails from the server.
    Be that on your PC or Mac or Web mail client
    The iPad is a client only and doesn't do this for you.
    The iPad is designed to allow you view your mail (ideally via an Imap or Exchange server) however management should be carried out on server for security reasons.

    Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].

  • Why would someone launch a newer version and not get all of the bugs out first?

    Facebook will not load. Email will not load. Nothing will load. Firefox is not compatible with my anti-virus, so it disabled. All Adobe files were lost in the download process. FF is running soooo slow. I uninstalled FF and now cannot reinstall. When I go to mozilla.com there in no "download now" button. What is up with this?

  • Is there a way to 'manually' download software updates?

    Hi guys
    I've just reinstalled OSX on my iMac due to some issues and have found that I can't install Aperture because it requires 10.6.2 and the OS I have is .1. Fine, so I install the software update, but when it is in the installing stage of the process when the computer is restarting, it says that it cannot be installed and that the download may be corrupted etc.
    I have downloaded the item twice and have had the same response each time. So I was wondering if there's a way to download Software Updates manually from somewhere on Apple's site or something so I can try that instead.
    Hope someone can help.
    Thanks
    Steve.

    Thanks, I'll try the combo update first. I'll make sure to Verify the disk first.
    My internet connection is a Fibre-Optic broadband connection and I'm in Manchester, UK. There was some issues with downloading via Safari before, but now that's sorted out but the problem is persisting with the software update it seems. Hence why I'm trying it this way.
    I'll let you know how I get on

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Windows forums.

    my iphone 4s will not charge or be recognized when plugged into the computer after the ios 5.1.1 software update why is this? i have used many usb cords also.

    Had same problem and did the normal reset 10seconds but did not work.
    I plugged in USB and held the on/off switch and home button for 20seconds and the "Connect to Itunes" came on the screen. I then opened up Itunes and it directed me to restore.

  • Issues downloading software updates

    When I go to update software on my early 2011 MBP running OS X 10.6.8, nothing actually updates. When I click "show details" and then "Install 18 items", I am prompted to install an SMC and EFI firmware update, which I click install for. Immediately after that, I am prompted to restart my computer to finish the instillation. However, nothing was downloaded in the first place. I have restarted the machine, and there is no grey screen or anything, I am just placed at a screen where I need to enter my password to access my computer. Upon entering my password, I appear at my desktop, and everything is the same as it was before.
    My question is, why isn't anything being downloaded or installed to my machine, even though I believe I am following through with the correct procedure for intalling updates?

    Also you might need to do a permissions repair: Go>utilities>disk utilities> select disk (left colum, usually Mac HD or what ever you might have named it). Hightlight that disk, click repair permissions, if they are a mess it might take while.
    Do the permissions first, then go to the site and try the 10.6.8. combo up date.
    Run software update, make notes of what it wants to update, you might have to do them one at a time directly from the Apple support site.
    Have you tried the 10.6.8 combo update?

    Also do a backup before starting any of this.

  • Where Do Downloaded Software Updates Go?

    As I understand it, one type of downloaded files are either saved on the desktop (by default) or in some other folder/location if specified already. But regarding the updates which are downloaded through software updates, where are they stored? I want to do this because I would like to get rid of downloading the updates everytime I re-install the original software/OS X after a fresh install.

    You have several choices when you install software through Software Update. I believe the default is to just install the software. In this case the file will be downloaded, the software installed, and the download will be deleted.
    There are two more options in Software Update's Update menu. If you choose "Download Only" or "Install and Keep Package", the appropriate action will take place (either the software will be downloaded only or downloaded and installed). The downloaded file can then be found in the directory /Library/Packages. That is the Library folder at the root of your hard drive. As far as I know, there is no reason why the downloaded files must remain in the Packages folder. You can move them anywhere you wish to store them.

    Do you have enough funds in your bank account?
    otherwise iTunes sometimes black lists card if there are too many fradulent purchases
    Reason why they might black list a card is possibly you call in for alot of fradulent purchases
    One more reason can be because iTunes does actually limit the amount you can change payment methods
    Call AppleCare Phone support and have your call directed to iTunes Store
