Adobe Reader Updater is ready to install, but won't install -- what is the problem?

what is the problem?
Well, you're not telling us anything, that's the problem. No offense, but really, just saying that something doesn't work is not gonna yield any answers that would help. We wil lat least need a tiny bit of info about your system - operating system, possibly hardware specs, definitely info about security tools and otehr Adobe software...

Adobe reader updater is ready to install but won't -- need help

adobe reader updater is ready to install but gets stuck on step 2 -- need help

It's OK. I finally got Reader XI installed. But once installed, the program would then lock up and show an error message whenever I tried to open any of my existing PDF docs. So I finally just gave up and deleted Reader XI from my system. Fortunately, my existing version of Reader seems to work just fine. Maybe I'll try again later after Adobe has worked out the kinks with Reader XI. But thanks anyway for responding--no further help needed now. I'm out.

AIR seems to install but won't install any AIR apps

I installed AIR on Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise Edition, and it seems to install OK (no error messages). But when I go to install an AIR app (Yammer desktop in this case) it will not install the app and I never see the installer come up. This is a new computer that never had AIR on it. First I went ot the Yammer site to load the app there, as I did on my XP computer. The install started, but hung up. I was at work, so I let it sit for a few hours, but it was still hung. I then rebooted and tried to install using the offline installer. It seemed to install, but won't install any AIR apps. I have uninstalled/reinstalled AIR and Yammer but no change. I also tried uninistalling using the MS FixIt utility, but no difference. AIR seems installed but if I go to the Yammer web site, it tries to install AIR again. Log below.

Hi Tom,
Would you be willing to do a desktop sharing session with me so I can take a look at what is happening with your system? If so, please contact me at [email protected] If you want to try something immediately, I'd recommend creating a new, temporary, user account and seeing if you can install Yammer there. If so, log back into your normal account and try launching the installed Yammer app.
Thanks,
Chris

Mountain Lion can't install but won't let me quit the installer!

Mountain Lion can't install but won't let me quit the installer! How can I get back to the desktop?

I was having the same problem with my iMac. Couldn't left click with the wireless mouse, i tried all the steps above to no avail. I then tried to use another mouse, this time bluetooth and still had the same problems. I decided to see if my trackpad, which sits in the corner of my desk and never gets used, and then i realize that my cat is lying on top of the trackpad which was causing my problem the whole time.
I hope your fix was as simple as mine.

Firefox has been unsuccessfully attempting to download a software update for a few days now... What's the problem?

Firefox has been unsuccessfully attempting to download a software update for a few days now... What’s the problem?

If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.<br />
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Updated RAM to 4gb, shows as 2 gb. What's the problem?

I updated my RAM to 4gb in summer 2012. It showed as it being 4gb until a couple months ago when it showed as 2 gb.
What's the problem?

It should be quite easy to apply more pressure on the RAM chips. If they are seated properly and still not showing correctly, you could swap the RAM chips to the opposite slots to determine if it is a RAM chip or slot issue. Apple 'How-To" instructions Here

Desktop Manager states Updated Software Component Must Be Installed - but won't install it

I am running Desktop Manger 6.1.0.35 (Bundle 34) for a while. I am moving to a new smartphone of the same model but phone I am moving to has an older OS on it. I run the desktop manager which correctly determines that there is a new OS to load. I select the OS version to load and tell it to get the update and it responds with the error 'An Updated Blackberry Software component must be installed before you can continue'. It then asks if you wish to Install or Cancel. After selecting Install, it returns to the main screen of the desktop manager. Selecting UPDATE again, to insteall the latest OS, it repeats the same process again. So I am unable to load the latest OS into the device.
I've tried loading the software via the Blackberry web site instead, and it does the same thing. I can't get the OS updated.
Has anyone had this problem and determined how to get around it?

Hey,
i am having the same issue for about 3 weeks now. I was able to install the latest version, 7.1, but i can't install a new OS. The software finds that there is a new OS that can be installed, but as soon i want to install it, the software demands an update, although it already is the newest version...
Might there be a general problem with the 7.1 version???

Updated Flash player, now it won't work, what is the problem?

Updated my flash player to the latest version and now it wont play. keeps telling me to update to the latest version. tried uninstall and reinstall numerous times. restarted my computer and safari a number of times aswell. whats the problem?

Are you sure that you did not install a fake? there are many and they look convincing.
Did you download it yourself from Adobe's website, or was it handed to you by a Black/Red dialog?

GarageBand hangs when opening, but will eventually open- what's the problem

Hi,
I just upgraded from GarageBand 2 to GarageBand 3. Previously, everything was on my start-up drive. When I upgraded, I moved all the files I could (loops and the like) to a media drive while keeping everything else on the start-up drive. Now, when I open GB3, it hangs and hangs, beach ball spinning, and the name of the application turns red in Activity Monitor, like it's frozen. But, it does eventually open up, after a minute or two, literally. It seems to hang when it starts loading the instruments used in the track. But it still does open and work fine! Well, not exactly fine, it also takes a lot longer than it used to to load a new instrument when I select a new one. Does anyone know what the issue may be?
Oh, and, I tried opening a file, then saving it as something different, then opening that new file, but it does the same thing.
Thanks!
William

Thanks for your response, xs4is. I am not on the offending machine at this moment, so I'll have to test your suggestions later this evening. Let me explain a little further what I did that lead up to the issues I'm now experiencing.
I had iLife 05 that came with my computer. I was upgrading to iLife 06. Everything from iLife 05 was on my boot drive- that's how it came and I never changed it. I have the second drive that I use for media files (I edit video- all of those files, my itunes library, etc. is on this drive). Prior to upgrading, I wanted to move everything I could (loops and stuff like that) to the second drive. So, there's a point in the installation right before it actually installs everything- it tells you where it's going to put a bunch of folders, it gives you the path and lets you know you can put them somewhere else if you'd like (ex. "SuchAndSuch" Folder will be installed in /Library/Application Support/Garageband. If you want to, you can choose a different folder. (to paraphrase)). At this point (for each of the folders full of files that it was installing), I followed the path it gave, took the folder that was already there ("SuchAndSuch") and copied it to the second drive, I then deleted that original folder and redirected the installer to the new folder. I even duplicated the folder path, to make it easier for me to understand, so that for the example above, the new path was "SuchAndSuch" Folder will be installed in /MediaDrive/Library/Application Support/Garageband. I am certain I did this part correctly. I created the "Library", "Application Support", & "Garageband" folders-- I only actually moved that last folder and deleted it off the Boot Drive. Anyway, I was pretty sure all this was okay to do because I was only moving the original stuff it was telling me it would be updating or replacing... I hope this makes sense and might help to figure just where or where I went wrong.
I'll have to look later to make sure, but I'm pretty sure there were no other duplicate software instruments in the browser window. There may be dplicates on the drive but not in the window I suppose. And I deleted the old ones off the boot drive.
That's a good idea of creating the alias folder- this could be the root of the problem. But I figured it'd be okay since I was telling the installer to install the stuff on the second drive.
I suspect there may be some small files that I moved to the second drive that really should be on the boot drive- some sort of files that act as a map or something for garageband. Maybe an invisible file? ...I hate those invisible files.
**Oh wait!** I just remembered something, when I was copying those folders (like I was saying above), it did prompt me for my admin name and password! So, wouldn't that mean I was moving something, well, important? Instead of just the loops and stuff?
Yeah, that's probably a key clue, eh?
I'll also try the Garageband index tip and let you know.
Thanks so much for your help!!

Huffington Post's Bigshots feature doesn't work with Firefox but works with IE what's the problem?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
See also:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
* You can see the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
* You can see all exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
* You can check the Tools > Page Info > Media tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images)
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block images.

I want to update to 3.6.4 but don't want to risk the problems container.exe is causing that am reading in this forum.

There are quite a few having problems related to container.exe due to updating to 3.6.4 as I see from this forum.
I don't have video problems, never did, and sounds like if I update, it's going to start having problems..
It is possible for ff to make a patch so that we can have a user friendly and safe disable (without system code?)
I appreciate firefox very much and thank you developers for your hard work and care.
I just don't want to update until this is stable..too risky..
Thanks!

Also be aware that if you add a quiz to the project, that the drag and drop and quiz affect each other.
In a way we have been cheated into thinking that is also a learning tool for repeated attempts. With a quiz in the project it does not work.
I also tried it without the quiz. When learners now use it, the drag and drop will "hang" at times. EMBARRASING when a client phones you with a stuck learning session!!
I have spent hours with the online Adobe dudes. It some or other "buG".
"BUG" is IT code for "we designed something but did not test it well enough and now we pretend that it is some mysterious organic organism that is maliciously undermining our design"

Fire fox 7 is not installing in my computer . It asking Run as window but not installing. May i know what is the problem

installing is not properlly

Do you have any other drive connected, which has a copy of FCP X?
I would make a copy of the application in some drive, just in case; then disconnect the drive, delete the application (could use FCS Remover to delete everything related).
Then, try installing from the purchases tab in the App Store.

My firefox wants to update. It says its connecting to server, but never does. What is the problem

firefox wants to do an update. When ok'd, firefox says connecting to server. I never does connect. Just keeps saying connecting to server

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 24.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
