Adobe Download Assistant sees Mozilla Firefox as IE

Adobe Download Assistant fails to complete on Adobe Xi Pro Trial Version, citing probs with my version of Internet Explorer browser. In fact my browser is Mozilla Firefox. Any suggestions?

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-xi-pro-standard-reader-direct-download-links.html
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

  • Adobe download assistant gone after update

    I get on the computer to download Photoshop, but when I clicked on adobe download assistant it needed updated. So I update it(since it made me...), leave for a bit, come back and... POOF. Gone! I looked all over my computer, but I cant find it anywhere. What happened? Where did it go? Am I missing something?
    Please help!-love me.

    Thanks, Jeff.
    How do I reinstall ADA? I have /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers/ and there:
    - Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
    - Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection
    - Adobe Flash Professional CS6
    - Flash Builder
    None of them has an option to install ADA as a component. I removed ADA from /Applications (backuped a zipped version as an insurance), Now what?
    I think a common problem is that my CS6 suite started as a trial version of CS6 Master Collection (EN), then I decided to buy the Creative Cloud (PL), so the previously downloaded software was authorized with Creative Cloud, bought in Polish Adobe Store. Additional problem is that Polish localization does not always behaves well with EN-versions of Adobe apps or EN-versions of infrastructure. And not all apps are available as PL, so sometimes I must use EN versions. Which I prefer anyway, due to historical reasons (I've been using Adobe products long before there were Polish version available). Too much complexity of the system. Depending on which app I launch (PL or EN) I get different updates in Adobe Help. Adobe Help does not see help updates for Lightroom 4 (which I bought separately, before Creative Cloud), it only sees LR3 help, which I used before upgrading to LR4. Etc, etc.
    Thanks for help, anyway.

  • 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!!

  • Where is CS 5.5 Design Standard in Adobe Download Assistant?

    Hi,
    First my platform is Mac. And I am user form UK (Europe).
    I am traing to upgrade CS 5 Design Standard to CS 5.5 . I cant finde any direct download so I decide I will download trial version and after that I will bay upgrade key for $ 299 from adobe store online. When I go to Adobe Dwonload Assistant I cant finde CS 5.5 Design Standard is only CS 5.5 Designe Premium version in there.
    Am I looking in wrong place? I use help and it says it should be there. Is it any easyer way to upgrade ? Please help?
    Many Thanks
    Bartek

    Jeff,
    Thanks for the prompt and informative reply. I have now resolved my problem and successfully downloaded (and installed) CS 5.5 Design Standard.
    If you want to investigate in order to help other customers, here's the full story.
    I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on a brand-new high-performance laptop (HP Pavilion dv7t). My default browser is Firefox (version 9.0.1).
    When I clicked the Download button on the CS 5.5 Design Standard page (the one you provided the link to, which I had already found & used), the Adobe Download Assistant was downloaded and subsequently installed. But when I ran it, there was no download of the product queued up:
    Logging in didn't change that situation:
    After reading your reply (and now armed with the knowledge of what behavior to expect), I decided to try again. To eliminate any potential artifacts of my previous failed attempt, I first uninstalled Adobe Download Assistant, and then did the download again. Unfortunately, the result was exactly the same as before (i.e. as shown in my screenshots above).
    So then (while holding my nose) I tried doing the download using Internet Exploder Exploiter Explorer 9 instead of Firefox. [As before, I  uninstalled Adobe Download Assistant to start wilth a clean slate.] The first time I clicked on the Download button, a message appeared that said my download would start soon, but after waiting 10 minutes, nothing had happened. So I reloaded the page and clicked the button again. This time it worked properly (exactly as you had described) and I was able to download the product.
    BTW, I began my evaluation of the trial product by using the new Photoshop, and I can see (and appreciate) many improvements and new features (I had been using CS4 previously). I expect I will be purchasing an upgrade.
    Again, thanks for helping me get beyond a frustrating situation.
    - Bob (a.k.a. dojnburn)

  • 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.
    If you continue to face difficulties then you may wish to initiate a direct download of the software.  You can find directions on how to accomplish this at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369.

  • 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!!
