  • 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.

  • Adobe Download Assistant Not working

    I tried all the troubleshooting many times it still will not work. I keep getting error 107. I put in my id and then it stops and will not download after effects.

    Do you receive the error as soon as you open the Adobe Download Assistant?  Where did you choose to download the install files too?

  • Adobe download assistant wont open

    I am trying to download Adobe Premiere Elements 12 trial on Windows Vista and I've clicked download. Adobe Download Assistant downloads but will not open. I tried clicking on it it to open, but nothing works. I am pretty sure I have all of the system requirements.

    You can skip the download assistant and download the trial version of the software directly thru the page linked below.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • Re: Adobe Download Assistant not working after bluescreen

    I'm having the same problem on mac osx lion:
    I downloaded adobe download manager
    I installed adobe download manager
    I launche adobe download manager
    No features of adobe download manager are functional. I get a welcome screen that asked me to sign in, yet the sign in link and the help link in the upper right hand corner are not responsive.
    I cannot quit the application.
    I must force quite to exit the application.
    I have reinstalled twice, including downloading the software a second time.
    I think you folks have a bad build of the ada.

    I installed http://codykrieger.com/gfxCardStatus and disabled graphics switching and the adobe download assistant still did not function.
    One would think that a software company such as adobe would make an application that does not require a large segment of users to go in and fiddle with settings just so that they can download a trial version of adobe software.  This is really lame.

  • Adobe Download Assistant not working on Lion

    I successfully downloaded and installed the trial of Design Premium a couple days ago (but not without having to try to install download assistant a couple of times) and I'm now trying to download AfterEffects but I'm having no luck. I either get an error that says that an version of AIR that I need can't be found (and if I try to install AIR I get that same message!) or I get an instant crash from Download Assistant saying that it couldn't restore windows. I'm trying to reinstall download assistant but having no luck with that either. I'm on Mac OS Lion. Thoughts?

    Never mind. Kept trying the same thing and now it works. Weird!

  • Adobe download manager wont work

    everytime i open it it says download error, Help (windows 7 64 BIt)

    I had similar problem few days ago, I downloaded AAM from Adobe download page and reinstalled it. After I had to reinstall some apps because they were not listed as installed, you can read more in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1212266?tstart=0

  • I have an old Macbook - can I still use Adobe Download assistant? (It says I need the latest AIR)

    I have a macbook 2GHz Intel Core Duo, with Mac OS X 10.5.8. I therefore apparently can't download the latest version of Adobe AIR, and therefore cannot get the Adobe Download assistant to work to download a trial of InDesign. Do you know any way around this?
    Thanks

    You will need 10.6.8 and a multi-core Intel processor to run InDesign CS6 as well.  You can find the necessary system requirements at http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/tech-specs.html.

    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 Won't Bloody Work!!!

    No matter what I do -- I even followed all the steps in solution 1, excluding the mac one, numerous of times, but none would work!! It's so frustrating!! It would always give me the same thing over and over again: "Error communicating with Adobe.com (Error 101). Check your network connection, and restart Adobe Download Assitant." Bloody thing won't work even if everything is perfectly fine!! TT____TT Please help me!

    Hi chocolateu,

    But make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.

  • The Adobe Download Assistant doesn't work!

    So, whatever happened to a direct download link? hmmmm too easy lol.  this download assistant does not work at all.  I turned off all firewalls, downloaded the (***) and got to the license agreement and ok'd it and it wouldn't start download.  Yes I did download to Desktop for all so that it has full permission.  Now I had to go to support, receive 2 files that I have to download, combine in one folder, then unzip and then install.  Just for a trial.  I would be scared to handover $100-$600 for a full product and have to jump through this many hoops!! Why did Adobe make downloading such a pain in the behind with it's (***)! lol here's a thought:: KISS keep is simple...shall I say silly just to be nice

  • I need to find a working file for the Adobe Download assistant?

    i need to find a working file for the Adobe Download assistant?

    I was going to recommend Brother becasue they held OS9 support longer than just about anyone, but their current printers are now supported back to Mac OS10.3 to 10.4, depending on printer model.
    If you can do with a b/w laser, the recently discontinued HL5250DN is very nice and OS9 drivers are still up on Brother support site (just checked). We have that model networked at home and its happily serving five Macs plus any visitors who bring their own computer.
    This printer has been absolutely reliable and trouble-free. It has both USB and ethernet connectivity (I prefer the latter), does duplex (two-sided) printing, and 1200 dpi res. If you Google the model HL5250DN, you should turn up some of the model still in stock someplace.
    If you need color, I'm at a loss for a recommendation there.

  • Adobe Download Assistant isn't working

    I am running Windows 8. I am currently using the CS5 master coll w/no issues. I have downloaded the download assistant, However when I double click it nothing is happening. I have tried to run the compatability tool etc... w/no effect.

    Please check your firewall settings to see if the Adobe Download Assistant is listed as an exclusion.  Alternately you can initiate a direct download of the software by following the steps listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369.

  • Adobe download Assistant won't work.

    Here's what happens I open adobe download assistant trying to download Adobe After Effects CS5.5 and I sign in I choose the folder for the download and then I wait for it to start downloading and it never does. It stays saying "Sign in with youy Adobe ID to continue"

    I am using Windows 7 Home Premuim (64-bit) and had to download to the Desktop as the Adobe Employee stated. For whatever reason, the Adobe trials cannot be downloaded directly to Programs. IDK if this is something that will be fixed in the future? But until that time, Desktop or Users is the best (and conceivably--only) option.
