Adobe Download Assistant freezes

adobe download assistant keeps freezing and I cannot log in. When I go to log in problem the firefox says it cannot find the programme. I have tried downloading with google chrome but that did not make any difference.

So far I have tried - turning off the firewall, using google chrome, firefox and explorer 8 (this recommended by adobe FAQ), saving it to the desktop (FAQ), 2 earlier versions, working with the adobe people on line. I think I have run out of patience and will just give up. Lucky I did not spend the money to buy the programme if downloading the free version is this much trouble!!

What software are you trying to download?
Could you run a small test? Sign-in with incorrect credentials and see if you get a valid error.

Adobe CS6 Master Collection Trial and Adobe Download Assistant keeps freezing.

Adobe Download Assistant won't let me accept the Terms and Conditions, freezes computer.

I downloaded the Adobe Download Assistant today, and when the Terms and Conditions pops up, it won't let me click the Accept or Quit button. I'm trying to accept so I can download the trial of Photoshop CS6/CS6 Extended and the program freezes after the Terms and Conditions comes up. Therefore, I can't accept and move on to download.
I tried going to the troubleshooting page for the program and it doesn't have anything relating to this problem.
Thanks in advance!

that would be a firewall setting so if your firewall is disabled, that setting is irrelevant.
you could use a direct download of ps cs6, if you follow all 7 steps: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html
if you see a dl error page, you did not follow all 7 steps.
you can also, uninstall adobe download assistant and try reinstalling.

Cannot Install Adobe Acrobat Pro via Adobe Download Assistant - Please Help

Hi Guys,
Please can you help I am trying to download the adobe acrobat pro trial via the adobe download assistant but cannot get the download to complete successfully.
Everytime I try and download the file it freezes when almost totally downloaded (less than a minute remaining) and eventually returns an error saying:
Error extracting teh product installer (Error 101). Check for available disk space on your system and try downloading the product again. I am trying to install to the desktop on a drive with 600GB free!!
Please help, I have downloaded the ADA through google chrome on a machine with windows 7 (64bit)
Thanks
Mike

Try this:
Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
Though if the extraction fails, you may face that same issue again. Store the fiel in a different location and do a littel housekeeping. You could well simply be running out of temp space or have a permissions problem on your temp folder...

Adobe download assistant and manager

I have downloaded the Adobe Download Assistant and the adobe Applications Manager. I am trying to install a trial version of Indesign CS6. It will download, extract files, but freezes at 42% installation. I get an error that the Applications Manager is damaged. I have downloaded the Manager 3 times and keep getting the same error. Where can I get a good one? I have only downloaded from the adobe site because I don't know who to trust. Please help.

Adobe Download Assistant, Photoshop Elements 11

Altho' I've tried many times over the past few days, I've been unable to download Photoshop Elements 11 using the Adobe Download Assistant.
I received an email from Adobe inviting me to download Elements 11, with a key to convert the trial version to a full version, which is an upgrade for me. I think this is because I wa never able to download a workable Elements 10. It constantly crashed, and sometimes brought my computer down with it.
I'd love to do download a working version of Elements 10, and have spent many hours trying, but nothing ever results from the Adobe Download Assistant.
Now it's telling me (in tiny grey letters on a black background) "The download product installation appears to be corrupted. (Error 108) Use the 'reset product download button' to try to download it again." Unfortunately, there is no reset product download button to use. I have clicked on a down arrow which produced a selection of whether to restart the download or continue trying with the download already started. I've chosen to restart the download. Unfortunately, nothing has changed on the window, and it is still telling me about the corrupted download.
I have no idea what the next step is or where to go to determine whether this whole thing is a hoax or whether it will download Elements 11. If it does, will Elements 11 work?
Can anybody out there help?

Key please see solution 3 in Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html#main_Solutio n_3 for information on how to reset the Adobe Download Assistant.

Adobe Download Assistant not working after bluescreen

I like to get the trial for Photoshop Elements 10 but the ADA is broken:
Under Windows 7 I already used the ADA to download and install Adobe Premiere 10 successfully a week ago.
Then I tried to get Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 but my system crashed with a bluescreen. The computer is fine again but ADA is not working anymore:
- after startup it doesn't list any (!!!) product to download. The list is just empty
- I can enter my username and password and click login. Then the buttons are greyed out and nothing else happens. I have to kill the application with the task manager then.
- I can apply for a new user account but it greys out and gets stuck like as the login.
- The help buttons lead to empty Pages in the web browser.
I tried to uninstall ADA and reinstall it (two times) but the behaviour stays the same.
I tried to find direct download links (the FAQs told me that there should be some) but every download page will use the ADA. I'd be fine with a plain ftp page for the trials. :-)
I'm an IT professional but I've no idea how to get ADA working, wiped from disk to get it reinstalled or to download the trials on another way. Please help.

I will try to install at a different location this afternoon.
The other thread handles a different situation: "... the Adobe Download Assistant launches, asks me to sign in ... I get a nice "Welcome, Steve" message ... and a list of related products below with links to download their trials ... The Help link takes me to an Adobe Download Assistant FAQ page ..."
- I cannot sign in and don't get a welcome message.
- I don't see a list of products.
- The help link takes me to an empty page.
BUT: where does the ADA get the list of products from? Is it online or local? If everything is online where I am blocked (sign in, list, help), I'll check the firewall. Perhaps the bluescreen crash changed something.

Mac CS6 Suite Adobe Download Assistant Error 110, 109, 108

Hello,
I am the IT Director for a Small College Campus and we are having problems with the Adobe Download Assistant in regards to downloading the Mac Adobe CS6 Trials. Regarding specifically the Design and Master Suites. I was able to download the Adobe Acrobat Pro XI trial as well as the Photoshop CS6 trial without problem, but when downloading the full Suite trial, I consistantly first get the 110 error, then if I try to restart the download from where it left off, I get an error 109 or 108. The download typically goes fine until the last couple percent, but near the end I get the error and can not restart the download short of starting over completely, in which case the cycle repeats.
I've done everything in Solution 1 of http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html, with no success. I am also able to download the Windows version of the trial suites, inside a Parallels virutal machine running Windows 7 without error, on the same machine that gives me the error for the Mac version. It seems to only affect the Mac downloads. I tested the same download on the same machine, but off-campus and was able to complete the download, so I think it may have to be a communication error in regards to our firewall, but I'm not sure why it would only effect the Mac Suite downloads. Taking down our firewall completely is not an option.
I have tried multiple browsers to start the ADA install from, as well as multiple machines running different operating system versions (Mac 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.7 Lion/10.6 Snow Leopard - I'm not sure exactly which previous version it was) with no success. Both computers were on an Ethernet, hardline connection; no wireless. Any suggestions would be appreciated as our production department is starting a Creative Cloud account and would like to be able to use the download manager instead of the direct download links, from another support topic, I have provided them with for the time being, as they can be difficult to find at times, as well as less reliable.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Creative Cloud uses the Adobe Application Manager as opposed to the Adobe Download Assistant. You are right though the error messages which you are posting indicate a failure of the network connection. Since the same computer works off your college network it does sound like a configuration problem with your firewall configuration.
I would recommend working with the manufacturers of your firewall to determine how to properly allow access. You may also want to review Sign in or activation errors | CS6, CS5.5 Subscriptions, CS6 Perpetual - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html which does provide some guidence for general system related errors.

Adobe download assistant will not work on my machine?

Adobe download assistant will not work on my machine. When i try to start it i get a message saying "Sorry an error has occurred. This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance." Any ideas what to do

Are you using Mac OS? If so please try removing the Adobe Download Assistant from your Applications folder and try again. This issue is documented in the Known Issues section of Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html.

Adobe Download Assistant Will Not Recognize My Adobe ID

I've been an Adobe customer / forum user since before ID's were tied to email addresses. My product registrations going back to 1996 through CS 5.5 apps are recorded under that ID. Since I have to change my email address every couple years to escape spammers, I do not want to change my Adobe ID (and go through the hassle of re-recording the record of registered apps) to a "fluid" ID like an email address.
Automatic registration and now Adobe Download Assistant will not accept an Adobe ID that is not an email address, yet I can still use it to 'manually' register new / upgrade product purchases. The problems this poses are two-fold:
Since I can only manually register new / upgrade products, I cannot obtain any "registration bonus" downloads.
I cannot download trial versions of apps I want to check out.
Adobe needs to get its act together and tell its gen-X / Millenials / Kid Web and software development staff that not all Adobe IDs are email addresses, but might also be a unique user ID string.
Further, due to an individual's email address volatitility (virtually everyone in my email address book had their email address change every 2- 3 years due to ISP demise, merger, personal relocation, job change etc.), Adobe should return to - or at least give precedence to - the model of UID / PW authentication instead of email address / PW authentication. This would lower Adobe maintenance effort / cost for user accounts as one could simply sign in with UID + PW and change email address for the account as necessary. As it is now, Adobe CANNOT deal with a user whose email address changes.
When Adobe changed from UID precedence to email precedence, I could not register Acrobat Pro (2007) during registration so I used my email address at that time to register the product. When that email address ceased to exist, I tried to get Adobe to transfer that registration to my old [non-email address] Adobe ID, and, over several months of email exchanges, they ended up admitting they could not do it. I could not make the change as the SN was already marked as used in there system so simply re-registering it to my existing account wouldn't work either.
This has been an ongoing issue with "legacy" users since 2006 at least, and NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED ASAP!!!!

There you go MISSING THE POINT AGAIN!! My Registered products WILL NOT FOLLOW MY UID IF I CHANGE IT, NEVER DID SINCE 2007. Saying the will is false information which I alerted Adobe to back in 2007 and is a problem y'all never fixed.
Just a little over a week ago, I got I got LightRoom 4 ug from a LR 3 I had purchased in March. Signing on with my legacy UID (non-email) allowed me ADD those registrations to my account, as I had cor CS 5.5, 4, 3, etc. etc. Now, isn't it odd that the very day after I posted here, when I sign in to my account it shows NO REGISTERED PRODUCTS!!! If I look at my order history, it has orders from Adobe store from last weeks CS6 MC purchase back to 2007 when I started buying from Adobe directly after the local brick and mortar resellers disappeared.
So I try to register CS6 MC, it tells me the SN is already in use. I try open a PDF document and it tells me I have to first register and agree to the Acrobat Pro X license before I open a doc - and it was an UPGRADE FROM CS 5.5 MC. I try to run CS 5.5 apps and they tell me I have to purchase a license since the trial period is over - HUH! Until I posted here it was working FINE. I go back to my acccount (non-email UID sign in) and check my profile - Lo and behold SOMEONE (not me) has changed the UID to an email address instead of the non-email UID I sign in with AND DELETED ALL MY PRODUCT REGISTRATIONS!
Naturally, your software does not let me put it back to the same UID I use to sign on with so THE LINK TO ALL MY REGISTERED PRODUCTS IS GONE, I CANNOT REGISTER NEW ONES (which was no problem just a day or two before posting here) WHICH PROVES WHAT I WAS TOLD IN 2007 - WHEN YOU CHANGE UID'S YOUR LEGACY REGISTRATIONS WILL BE LOST!!!
So, in summary you (Adobe at least, and I suspect you personally) went in and messed with my legacy account, deleting all my registrations, as I was told in 2007 would happen and advised to keep the old UID if I did not want to blow away those registrations, when I explicity did NOT want to make such changes. And, should I need an SN for some upgrade offer or to install an update for an older product that I did not transition to the new facility, I have to HOPE that I had I can find the original purchase invoice and that there is a copy of the SN / Reg card attached to it.
THANKS A PANT LOAD!!

Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat. By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
You can also download the installation files directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X if you are unable to locate the downloaded installation files.
