Error 103 on Mac 10.7.4 having downloaded PS CS6 using the Adobe Download Assistant. Why?

I let the assistant do and chose everything that happened (is there another way?) and yet I am getting this error 103. I have found and read all the other questions on error 103 but none of the contain and actual solution. Plase HELP!

I think I might have to resort to downloading the program from an illegal torrent, just so that I can use my legitimate-purchased product key on it. Would that constitute a form of intellectual property irony?
I am in total agreement with PeterBFreeman. I download 20-30 GB of data per week from other sources at a fast rate, with no problems. Obviously my internet connection speed is not the issue. Nor is my ISP--like PeterBFreeman above, I have tried to do this at two locations with different ISP providers. Could it possibly be that the download-speed problems are on Adobe's end? Because that would make way way way more sense...
And by the way, Manish in comment #3 posted a solution to every error EXCEPT error 103. Exactly which of the 10 or so solutions he provides applies to error 103? Or do I just blindly follow them all, hoping that one will work? Do you really know if any of these will work, or are you just blindly throwing solutions at me hoping that you might get lucky?
FYI, like i clearly stated earlier, I also did a direct download...four times...each of which failed miserably (error 4960--failure mounting dmg file). I wish I could just walk away, but I absolutely depend on Adobe products to survive. So I am stuck. I feel like a battered spouse.
After sifting through a number of forums and double speak--the real problem seems to be that both the Adobe Download Assistant and the direct download links have a very hard time producing an uncorrupted file. The download assistant is supposed to smooth out this problem--and under ideal circumstances, it should be able to peice together a workable file. But alas, download assistant can't seem to do the one thing it is supposed to do--and getting an uncorrupted file seems more like a crapshoot than anything else as PeterBFreeman suggests.
The direct download links also have problems because I can never seem to get a decent download speed--and either it times out or my browser cancells the downloads due to slow download speeds (this happens when I have no other problems with download speed for other applications, programs, media). The four times I did finally download the entire file (twice via direct download and twice via download assistant) I got errors 4960 and error 103 respectively.
Yet, the answer we keep getting from Adobe is, "keep doing the same even though you get the same crappy result every time". This is literally insane. Or I get just straight aversion of the question--either blaming my ISP, or my internet speed or by calling my problem "Rare" when it clearly isnt that rare.
Error 103 is an adobe error. This means that someone at Adobe came up with the number (103) which corresponds with whatever the error is. Telling me that it is rare without indicating what the error is seems just like bad customer service. The problem is clearly beyond your customer service unit. Please please please, go find a person who knows what error 103 is and ask them the following:
1) What is error 103? (i.e. can you give me a semi-coherent definition of what error 103 is?)
2) What causes error 103? (other than it being rare?)
3) Can you give me some step by step instructions to fix or avert this problem? (instructions for error 103. Not error 100, 101, 102, 104, etc)
4) If the causes can be many, what are they and can you give me step by step instructions for each of the possible causes?

    Trying to download an application for work,  Tried on the IE 8, 10 & 11 with no add ons and in the compatibility mode and it will not work.  I continue to get the error message:  You must have IE 5.5 or higher to use the Contact Center

    We need help as others are having this same issue.
    Thanks

  • Downloaded mavericks for one mac can i use the same download to install on another mac

    I have downloaded for 12 hours initial installation on one mac for mavericks, and all installed successfully. Rather than download again for another mac, can I use the same download and copy on to the other mac..and if yes, where will I find it?

    All you need to do is go to System Preferences > App Store and uncheck the automatic install of updates box, then download the Mavericks installer, and copy to a flash drive.  You will need a flash drive of 8 G B or more since the installer is around 5.3 GB.  The installer will be in Finder > Applications.  You can then copy that flash drive installer to the Applications folders in all the Macs you have that are capable of running Mavericks, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
    When the installer runs, the last step in the installtion is for the installer to erase itself.  So makng a copy before the installer runs is essential if you want to avoid redownloading.
    Installing from the same installer does not cause problems for Macs on the same network.

    Yes, but that would not cause the "build  failed" message.
    right I missed that part. Looks like two problems then.

    This is copied from your first post. Am I reading this wrong? Aren't you saying that you are getting a message that the username and password are incorrect? That's why I asked another the word apple in the name. I don't use Yahoo mail that may in fact be correct but I'm just checking,
    IF you are getting a message that the username and password are incorrect.....
    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • Mac user, OSX 10.9.4. CS6, in the new Blur gallery the pin with adjusters does not appear for any of the three blur filters. This may have occurred since taking adobe watermark add-on and updating Bridge. any ideas?

    Mac user, OSX 10.9.4. CS6, in the new Blur gallery the pin with adjusters does not appear for any of the three blur filters. This may have occurred since taking adobe watermark add-on and updating Bridge. any ideas?

    I am using Mac OSX 10.10.1 (memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, graphics Nvidia GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB)
    and my version of Photoshop is CC.
    I ran into  the same problem: I am able to place and view Blur Gallery pins but the adjustment wheel or outer control arounf the pin that allows you to tweak the blur value disappeared after being initially available. Additionally, the placed pin or pins appear to flicker on screen (while in blur gallery mode) until committing the change with the OK button. I have tried restarting both the computer and Photoshop, as well as what some other users have suggested such as View>Show>Edit pins turned on. Nothing has helped so far. I am still able to adjust the blur amount  from the Blur Tools slider. thank you.
