PSE9 on iMac running Mavericks "some updates failed to install"

Yet again Adobe is convoluted, unintuitive and troublesome!  Every other app on my iMac updates and installs faultlessly yet Adobe again presents problems. 
Has anyone else had this problem updating PSE9?  Why don't Adobe provide an error code that I can look up?

You should be able to download and install the updates from here:
Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Macintosh
In older versions of photoshop elements, the updater never worked, even when the applications were brand new.
I think the problem is that the Adobe Application Manager needs to be updated to a newer version, but since there will be no more updates for pse 9, it may just be better to install the two updates
from the link above and leave well enough alone.
Anyway here's a link to the newest Adobe Application Manager
Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Macintosh : Adobe Application Manager

    I'm trying to update my Photoshop CS5, but continue to receive the same problem every time. The application manager update dialogue box simply states "some updates failed to install." There's no specific error code, but a link to contact support for further assistance. It doesn't take me to customer support, but does take me to a screen which states. "Error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product." I've checked my account and the product serial number is associated with my account., so I don't see any problem.  I have not been able to find a resolution to this problem, so I hope that someone can point me in the right direction.  Thank you!

    update directly, Product updates

  • Some updates failed to install

    I have CS5 and when I try to update, I get "Some updates failed to install."  If I click on Contact Customer support, it comes up with "Error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product..." when installing an upgrade or upsell.  I have had this software for 4 years and until 2 weeks ago not had a problem with updating.  Any suggestions?  I tried everything I found on Adobe short of deactivating and reinstalling the software.  Thank you!

  • Adobe CS5 Design Standard - Some updates failed to install

    I am tying to find a solution to this problem, and am unable to find a way to contact Adobe directly for customer assistance. When I click on the Customer Support link at the bottom, the page that loads says, "Error 'This serial number is not for a qualifying product...' when installing an upgrade or upsell."  I didn't install an upgrade version of CS5, and I didn't have it on more than one computer. My hard drive crashed at the end of 2013, and I had to replace it with a new one. I wasn't able to deactivate the product on the old hard drive, but it installed just fine on the new one. Now the updates will not work.
    Does anyone know how to fix this or how to contact Adobe directly for help?  Thanks.

    I am also experiencing this same issue. I purchased the CS5 Master Collection in 2011 and it is now failing to install updates. My Adobe Application Manager is giving me the same error messages that you are getting. The Customer Support link takes me to the same website. Adobe Support just told me to come on here to find the answers that I seek because CS5 is no longer supported by support specialists. It's pretty discouraging to see that nobody has answered you since you posted this in July.

  • Trying to download the In Design CS5 patch 7_5_3 patch-all, but I get error message "Some updates failed to install, update is not applicable." CS5 is the only version of the Creative Suite that I have on my MacBook.

    How can I get it to download the patch?

    Terminate the process in task manager or turn off Minibridge in the PS prefs and restart your system.

  • Updates failed to install

    After I have installed Creative Suite CS5 Master Collection and checked for updates, the Adobe Application Manager runs and appears to download the updates ok - but it then fails with the message:
    "Some updates failed to install"
    This is followed by the same message for each update:
    "There was an error downloading this update.Please quit and try again later."
    This happens every time I try to install the updates.
    I am running Norton Internet Security and have tried disabling the firewall to see if that helps - to no avail.
    This occurs under both Windows XP Pro 32 bit and Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
    I followed Adobe's online advice and tried to download Adobe Support Advisor but just got a message saying it had been discontinued.
    I also tried to find relevant logs in the Installer folder, but there didn't seem to be any of the current date.
    Guidance would be appreciated.

  • CS5 updates fail to install

    In the process of updating to Windows 8.1, I've started with a fresh install of CS5 and LR. CS5 installs without problems, but fails to update. It appears to be downloading the updates, but gives the error : "Some updates failed to install", providing a list of all components of CS5. Each component reports "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later". Having tried several times, each with the same result, I contacted adobe customer support using the link provided: Error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product" | CS6, CS5.5, CS5"
    Adobe support confirmed that there was no problem with the serial or license, and referred me to the forum. The forums do not appear to have a clear solution to this issue. Some updates are available for manual download, but it appears not all of them. I'm not sure why the product update installer is included in CS5 if it is not functional. This seems like a possible case of a broken link for the installer, but there does not seem to be a way to update the installer itself.

    I was just referred to the forum as well for the same issue. My serial numbers are verified and registered. I see here that this is the place to go for unanswered questions. I think the main issue here is that Adobe doesn't want to offer support for older products. Likely, Adobe is trying to force us into purchasing the upgraded software. If anyone has found a solution, please feel free to share it with me as well as I have an identical situation.
    Adobe offered that I call tech support. Last time I tried to contact adobe via telephone, it took more than a half an hour just to get a rep on the phone and of course their solution was to buy cs6.
    Best of luck to ya.

  • Safari (7.0.6) on my iMac running Mavericks (10.9.4) is not saving web pages (web archives)

    Hi.  Not familiar with forums but hope to get some help.
    Safari (7.0.6) on my iMac running Mavericks (10.9.4) is not saving web pages (web archives).
    I've used the following path:
    File > Save As >then Format > Web Archive 
    It saves a file but when I click on its icon it opens up to the 'Top Sites' page (as when you click on the + for a new tab) not a saved web archive of the web page I was on.
    I have no such problem with Safari on my MacBook Pro running Lion. 
    The iMac hardware details are: 2.7 Gz Intel Core i5 with 8 gb of RAM .  The software update tells me I'm up to date.
    Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance. 
    Errol.

    It could be malware that's causing the archive /  Top Sites problem.
    Download and run the adware removal tool here >   The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
    Easy, safe, and only takes a minute or two.
    If no malware is found ...
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
