Win XP adobe corrupted need reinstall help
Work computer with Win XP. Will not read adobe PDF's. Tried uninstall and it will not work on the control panel. When I download the update and try to reinstall it tells me that acrobat is already installed. I have moved the old adobe files in the C Drive under both program and common files without success. Any help appreciated!
If this a work computer, first contact you IT department for help.
What version of Acrobat were you running?
Was newer version of Reader installed on your system?
Start with repairing Acrobat.
If that does not work, then one needs to clean Acrobat and Reader from the system with a special cleaner tool available from Adobe Labs. And then installing your version of Acrobat and activating it.
Any version prior to version X is no longer supported, so you might consider upgrading your version of Acrobat.

I need some help here not sure what to do and what happened. I was planning on switching out the hard drives on my 15in Macbook pro. i had the 7200 hooked up to a external sata enclosure and i was zeroing out the drive to get ready. Well the cord got lose and it really screwed things up . Needless to say it affected my hard drive as well. which I did back this up to another external firwire with syncronize xpro and is sitting here also.
anyway i erased the main hard drive because it was screwy and at first could not repair it . So the drive being erased and zeroed out i tried sveral times to reload the OS and get half way through and it will not finish and wants to restart. So now take the new external and zero that out still sitting in the external drive and same thing will not let me install on that either and wants me to shut down. Also i can't boot from the backup. i have a bad feeling here and don't have any answers except to bring it to the Genius bar .
Any ideas would be helpfullI've read that through three times and still ain't clear what you've done
Can you put the original drive back in the MBP and then boot from the install DVD ?
Then run Disc Utility and format the drive ?
Then backup from the SynchronizeX Pro image?
(or am I missing something here ?) -

ADOBE I NEED HELP! - Cannot Update Suite
Well it has been a fun day! I am having an issue and I originally posted my problem in the Creative Suite - Windows forum and gave it a few days and the one reply I received did not solve my issue. So I decided I would have to contact Adobe Support. I first went to online chat which I prefer and spoke with someone. I was quickly told that they could not solve my issue and I would need to speak to a "product expert" and gave me the Adobe 800 Support Number. I then called and was told there would be a 2 hour wait! The system said it would call me back, which it did. I spoke with a man who said he would transfer me to the correct department. After being on hold for 10 - 20 minutes another man answered and I again explained my problem. He needed to research the issue. After another 10 minute hold I was told that another department handles these issues and I would be transferred again. As I write this I have been on hold going on 90 minutes with no answer. I had to hang up as I have other calls and work that must be taken care of today! Adobe your support is some of the WORST I have ever seen from a company of your size! There have been a few exceptions and I will say that in general the support provided here on the forums is excellent. This is the reason I now turn to this forum. I know that there are several Adobe employees that reply on this forum regularly and hopefully if someone cannot help me solve my issue the Adobe Employees can help me cut the crap and get to someone who can help.
Here is my issue:
I am attempting to check for updates using the Adobe Application Manager on Windows 8 and I get this error:
The update server is not responding. The server might be offline temporarily, or the Internet or firewall settings may be incorrect.
I have seen this error before on Windows 7 and remembered that I needed to disable the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter. I navigated to the correct place but the Miniport Adapter was not there. After a bit of searching across several forums I saw a recommendation to change <logLevel>2</logLevel> to <logLevel>10</logLevel>. I attempted that and again it still did not work. I have also tried disabling my anti-virus protection and disabling Windows Firewall. Neither worked.
I am not sure what else to try or do at this point.
Are there any other recommendations to solve this issue?
Note: I am running Windows 8 Pro using the Creative Cloud Version of CS6 and I check for updates by going Help > Updates via any Adobe program.
PLEASE HELP!Hi Lynda

I want to update to LION,on my Macbook Pro CORE 2 DUO, (october 2006) because Adobe CC needs at least that. I know my computer is old, but works perfect to me and I do not want to stay in Adobe CS6 since I have access to Adobe Cloud CC. Please help.
I probably dont want to go to Mountain Lion either because I've heard that it will slow down my computer, So, Lion 10.7 will be the perfect OS X for me.
I have ne newest release of Snow Leopard installed and works great.
Thank you ALL for your help.you will be ok updating to the new software but there will be some trade off. i have 3 macbooks 2006 that are all running the latest versions.
some of the trade off are
1-2 less of battery life
slow wake ups from sleep
slower start up time about 30-40 seconds longer then what you have now
the operating system will use high % of your processer while idealing
these are not the things you want to hear about a new os compared to the old one but this is how it is even with a new macbook pro. but it's not the end of the world. just make sure you have at least more then 2GB of ram and have a good harddrive and you will be ok. -
i had to take my photoshop file into a hardrive because my dad was going to give me a new Mac and when things didn't work out and went back to my old one i use the time capsule thing to save everything before but didn't give me photoshop so i physically moved the file and tried to open it but then this error shows up
Please uninstall and reinstall the product.
If this problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.
Error: 16
and when i click the uninstall app on the file it tells me this
The alias “Uninstall Adobe Photoshop CS6 2” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found
and when i click fix alias i click on photoshop and the app just turns into photoshop and i just run in circles
please help thank youRun the cleaner tool and reinstall.

Need some help: my itunes won't sync with my iphone anymore. Both softwares are up to date and I've reinstalled itunes. After I reinstall, it syncs. But then when I reboot my computer, it no longer syncs anymore and I have to keep reinstalling itunes. Thoughts???
thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess.
That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
Either way your welcome and best of luck!

I have Adobe 5.0, original disk, 6.0 upgrade, original disk, and Adobe CS2. I'd like to install in my new computer with Win.8.1. Can you help?
Forget about all the versions you already have (5.0 through to CS2). They will no longer work and the serial numbers are redundant.
Download the non-activation version of CS2 form the link provided by kglad and use the new non-activation serial number provided at that link. Your existing serial number(s) will no longer work.
Note: there is no guarantee that CS2 will run well on Win 8.1. Try it and see. -

Hi, how do I download the replace CS2 acrobat professional 7? I can't find a link for Mac. I reinstalled CS2 from adobe (as my old G4 Powerbook needed reinstalling), but it didn't install instal Acrobat or Distiller. Adobe don't seem to have any contact mechanism.
I put my old acrobat back onto my machine (from a backup made before reformatting) but it wants the box serial number. when I did that however, the replacement CS2 photoshop, etc, wouldn't work, so I had to install it again, but then, you guessed it - acrobat won't work again.Hello Alan,
Acrobat 7 is older version. Refer below link for more information and how to download.
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
Adobe has made earlier versions available for customer's convenience.
Hope all will go well !! -
Need some help with wine + midi
Howdi guys!
I need some help. I'd like to run an application which is only available for Windows and OSX, so my choice is wine. This application needs to send midi signals to the hardware it is supposed to control.
In the product's forum there is a thread which shows how it can be done. But the newest releases of wine don't allow this, because it doesn't support jack anymore.
I think basically it doesn't matter which application it is I run in wine, the question is, is it possible to send midi signals in and out through wine? If so, how? Might be that it's quite trivial, in my defense I have to say that I never worked with midi before.
The soundcard I use is an Edirol UA-25 which is fully supported in Linux, midi works.
Thanks for any ideas!
edit: Forgot two things: I know I could try older versions of wine or running it in a virtual machine, but I want to avoid this.
Last edited by Army (2012-04-27 07:15:33)For that app, you will probably be using the ALSA-midi interface. So, you shouldn't require Wine to have jack support. - In fact, that picture clearly shows that Wine is using ALSA-midi, but he is using jackd + a2jmidid (which exposes alsa-midi 2 jack-midi).
As long as that software doesn't require a special driver, you should be able to use it. As for the specifics, i would imagine that you would start jackd, start a2jmidid and then start your application. - you also have to make sure your midi device is connecting before launching your app in wine - otherwise the device won't show up in your wine app. You also will need to select your midi interface in your application. After this, you should be able to connect your wine app (through the a2jmidi bridge) to your hardware.
But if for whatever reason you can't get it too work ~ i do actually use a VM for updating firmware on 2 different audio devices (a soundcard and midi-controller) - and it works great. I am using VMware, but i would imagine virtualbox would work very similar..

but first you have to tell us and Christopher what and how you partitioned your system.
Successful setup of OS X Lion + Data Partition + Bootcamp Win7 Ult
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3293948
So after many, many hours I think I've finally figured out how to successfully setup Mac OS X Lion on one partition, a seperate data partition, and Windows 7 Ultimate on a Bootcamp partition . Here is a screenshot of my setup on my 13" MacBook Pro
Thread with suggestions on Windows backup methods:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3798090
Paragon CampTune
Paragon CampTune is a commercial product that is designed expressly for this task. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/ It consists of a downloadable ISO that needs to be burned to a disc and booted from in order to resize the partitions costs US$19.95.
Securing Dual-System Configuration
Imaging is still the most affordable and robust way to secure computer data. Unfortunately Mac OS X backs up only HFS+ volumes, leaving Windows with dual-system configurations unsecured. You can permanently lose all of your data unless you have a Windows-compatible backup solution.
Paragon’s CampTune and Paragon’s Drive Copy for Mac can secure the entire dual-system configuration. CampTune creates traditional images of volumes or entire hard disks, Drive Copy can copy them to other disks. In case of an emergency, you can restore the previously created image or copy all your data back to its original state.
GParted Live
GParted Live is similar to CampTune as it is also distributed as a bootable image that needs to be copied to a CD/DVD or USB flash drive. As free and open source software, distributed under the GPL, it will always be available free. Since it has more functions than CampTune, it may be harder for folks who are not as experienced with partitioning hard drives. http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
iPartition
Coriolis Systems' iPartition is a £29.95 ($44.95 US) utility that runs in Mac OS X and allows resizing of all of the relevant partition formats, including HFS+, FAT32, and NTFS. It provides a Mac-oriented user interface that may be easier to manage than some of the free utilities. As it is not capable of resizing the boot disk, it requires a bootable external disk or a boot DVD. (A tool to create a boot DVD is included.)
Paragon Partition Manager
From the makes of CampTune is a commercial tool that is similar in functionality to GParted Live, but has a more polished/friendly user interface than GParted Live. Previously only the US$79.95 Professional version supported all the features required for this, but as of version 11 the US$39.95 Personal version has also been reported to work. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/pm-personal/
Winclone/Disk Utility
Winclone is a free tool for creating and restoring backup images of your Windows partition. One of its key features is that it can restore to a larger partition than the one the image was created from.
NOTE: Winclone has been discontinued, but for now remains available and capable of completing these tasks (including creating and restoring Windows 7 images).
Winclone updated to support Lion Winclone updates and download
Disk Utility can resize HFS+ (Mac OS) partitions, but is currently incapable of resizing NTFS partitions, so you could use it to reduce the size of the HFS+ partition and create a new larger placeholder MS-DOS (FAT) partition
The full process would be:
Backup Windows partition with Winclone.
(if the new Windows partition is smaller than the old one make sure you set the preferences in Winclone to save the image as an uncompressed dmg)
Delete old Windows partition
Resize current Mac Partition
Create new Windows partition as MS-DOS (FAT) in free space after Mac OS partition.
(If the new Windows partition is smaller than the old one an additional step is required: shrink the filesystem on the image by selecting Tools->Shrink Windows (NTFS) Filesystem)
Reboot your computer for the new Windows partition to mount properly (winclone may not restore if you don't reboot)
Restore Winclone partition over new Windows partition
An alternate Winclone based process is described in the External Guides section
Native OS utilities
MR user Kazyua reports that you can use the disk management utilities provided with the current operating systems if you want to do it manually. Windows 7 and OS X both have partition resizing functions built in. In OS X, open Disk Utility and manually shrink the mac HFS+ partition by dragging the lower right corner. Then in windows go to the start menu and type "disk management" into the search box then hit enter. You should get an overview of the drives you have and the individual partitions. Right-clicking on the partition gives an "Extend Volume" option. The Windows NTFS volume should then be extended into the free space you created with Disk Utility. This method has not worked for other users, so try at your own risk.

I need some help with Flash Player. I have to constantly reinstall it on my computer.
Can someone please help me with this??
Pat, I have a Dell XPS Computer using Windows 7. I have had it for a little over a year and had no problems what so ever. Now all of a sudden my Flash Player has to be reinstall at least once every day if not more to work, but it does work great after it's reinstalled for as long as it will last. It does work fine when I use Google Chrome and I never have a problem there. I have uninstalled all of my Adobe products and reinstalled them but it did not help. I run Malware Bytes at least once a week and use System Mechanic every day and neither has found any problems with my system. I am not a tech but I am not a novis either. Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated!!!!! Thanks
