Flashbuilder stalls when trying to install new software

hey all, for some reason Flashbuilder does not want to install new software. It just sits there forever calculating. Has anyone else seen this before? It used to work fine. Not sure what's changed.

Getting "object already exists" message when trying to install new software.

Quite coincidentally, I came across a solution for the "object already exists" message that had recently been interferring with the downloading of new software. This solution was offered by another on a different website, but it has solved my problem.
My operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate.
The Windows Security Update KB2918614 seems to be wreaking havoc with some systems. It did so with mine.
After removing this particular update, I am now able to install software (was actually just trying to reinstall my HP printer software as I am having another issue with it).
Don't know if this will help anyone else, but it worked for me.

To rid myself of the "object already exists" issues due to the Windows Security Update KB2918614 . . . I have learned that an additional step must be taken to keep Windows Updates from automatically reinstalling this update . . . once again, preventing installation of software.
One needs to hide the update to prevent Window Updater from reinstalling.
Taken from the Windows community:

The update in question can be hidden, which will prevent this update from downloading and installing.
To hide this update:
       Open Control Panel
       Open Security
       Select ‘Windows Update
       Select the option View Available Updates in the upper left hand corner
       Locate the update in question, right click and select ‘Hide Update’
Thanks
Once again, my operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate and this particular update was causing difficulty for my specific operating system.

HT1923 did anyone get the apple application support was not found when trying to instal?

I am having trouble instaling itunes. has anyone got the apple application support was not found when trying to instal itunes? it looks like it is not installing all of files to my computer and it can not reach a certain folder

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

When trying to install downloaded software I am prompted to connect to the internet but I already am connected and the software will not install.

When trying to install downloaded software I am prompted to connect to the internet but I am already connected. This also occurs when trying to install an Adobe update.

A cable modem always needs a complete reset whenever you change the device that it is connected to.
To get your Internet signal restored, it will require at least one major step including the reset of your modem and complete network power cycle.
If that is not successful, the second major step is to reset the AirPort Extrreme back to factory defaults and then combine the steps above again.
Try this first:
Push the reset button on the cable modem (if present) and pull the internal batter (if easily accessible) then power off the modem
Power off everything else on your network....all devices....order is not important
Wait at least 20 minutes...longer will not hurt
Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots or world icon) on the AirPort Extreme
Re-install the modem battery if it was pulled in the step above
Power up the modem and let it run for 4-5 minutes by itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run for 4-5 minutes
Power up each other network device one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up
Check the network for proper operation

I'm trying to install new software and my keychain asks for my password I put it in says its not right, gives me hint, same password it is the one I always use, so what do I do now?

I am trying to install new software on my Imac and my keychain asks for my password, I type it in, it says it is wrong, I do it again, wrong, it gives me a hint, same one I have been using, wrong again, so I cannot get the new soft ware to download, how do I get my passwork on the keychain to work or how do I change it?

What model iMac and what version of the Mac OS is installed? "About this Mac" from the Apple menu is a good place to start.

Storeagent is trying to install new software?

I was using my Mac tonight and suddenly this dialog box I had never gotten before popped up. It said:
storeagent is trying to install new software.
Type your password to allow this.
...with fields to enter the data and a "Cancel" and "Install Software" button. In addition, there was a help (?) button that when clicked on called up Mac Help Center with the section on "If you forget your login password" but no data on what this storeagent is.
The dialog seemed to have been provided by Mac OS, since it floated above all windows.
Normally, when I get an unfamiliar message, I type a phrase from it (in quotes) into Google and this pulls up plenty of cases where people have inquired about the same issue before me, but this time when I entered the phrase used in the dialog and the title of this post, I got nothing. Surely I am not the first one who has encountered this dialog before?
I clicked Cancel, since you hear so much about viruses these days attempting to install malignent software. When I did so, I got a dialog with the icon of the Mac App Store, saying the app update had been cancelled.
Maybe this dialog is legit? Advice appreciated.

Okay, I've thought of a couple of things you can try if you don't want storeagent to run when MAS is not open:
1. Go to Applications > Utilities and launch Activity Monitor. Processes are arranged alphabetically. scroll down to storeagent and, if it is running, highlight it. Then go to the top left of the window and click on "quit process". That is a manual way to stop something from running. Test: leave Activity Monitor open and launch MAS - check to see if storeagent launched itself right after that. If so, quit MAS and see if it quits - if not, quit the process manually.
2. What settings do you have set in System Preferences > Software Update? I prefer not to have things done automatically so I have everything unchecked:
You could test by unchecking everything to see if you get any further password prompts for installs after that.

So I just bought a used MacBook from Amazon with OSX 10.5.8. I am trying to install new software and operating system, but I don't have the passwords to the Users set up in the computer. What do I do?

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.

Adobe Captivate does not start when trying to install after download.

Downloaded Adobe Captivate 7 but when trying to install it does not do anything.

Hi dimitri2014,
The downloaded Captivate files has 2 parts - One with .7z extension and the other with .exe extension.
Please run the .exe file to initiate the installation.
Alternatively can try re-downloading both the files from the direct download links available at : http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-captivate-7-free-trial-direct-download -links.html
Please make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.

Error message: apps installed on ipad not recognised when trying to sync

I am getting an error message when trying to sync saying itunes cannot sync apps to my ipad because the apps installed could not be determined. Does anybody know how to fix this?

were these bought with the same applie id? when you are in the store, scroll to the bottom and confirm that you are logged in as the user you need to be.
Otherwise, do a reboot. That sometimes clears stuff like this up. Press and hold both the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears. ignore the red slider.
