Adobe Updater freezes on Update 13.0.1

I am currently in the process of trying to update my Adobe Illustrator CS3. The Adobe Updater application says it is "Installing Update: Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.1 Update" but the bar stops moving at somewhere around 90%. No matter how long I wait it doesn't move any further and I have tried restarting the update but to no avail. Also from now on whenever I try to start Adobe Illustrator after loading it a window pops up that says "The application Adobe Illustrator CS3 quit unexpectedly" and I am currently unable to use the program at all. I'm assuming the program quitting unexpectedly has something to do with the update issue but I could be wrong.

Im not exactly sure what you mean by "move anything" but im pretty sure I havnt touched anything within illustrator itself. The only ting ive installed would be new fonts. I also searched the help database and found a link that I thought might help me http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=317488&sliceId=1
so far I have tried solutions 1 and 2, recreating preference files and disabling fonts but neither helped. I thought it might have been the fonts since I had added new ones but after disabling fonts nothing was fixed so that rules them out. The only thing I can still think of would be trying to reinstall illustrator but if do that will I lose all my custom brushes, patterns, and fonts? And if so is there a way to save them?

Software Update Freezes While Updating OS

Hello Community,
MacBook Pro: Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz, 4 GB RAM
I'm sure others have had this problem and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a reason for it.
For quite a while, at least since installing Snow Leopard, when I try to install OS updates using the Software Update program the same sequence of events occurs:
1) The Updater thermometer appears and increases rapidly at first while 'Writing Files' appears above.
2) Gradually the thermometer slows down as it reaches its final 1/4.
3) As the thermometer gets to the end it slows down exponentially until,
4) The thermometer appears to have reached the end but nothing further happens, and
5) I have to manually shut down the machine and reboot.
I have worked around this problem by downloading the installer directly from Apple, avoiding Software Update, and the installations have proceeded as expected and without incident. But, why is Software Update not completing the installation?
Thanks,
JAClay

If you cannot boot into the recovery partition or Internet recovery I suggest a last gasp attempt.
Try SMC and PRAM resets:

Then try a Safe Boot:

If no success, an appointment at an Apple store genius bar becomes the best option.
Ciao.

Adobe Community Help Application Updates - Stuck in download process

I read in the forums where people have had problems with the initialization of the download freezing, but my problem is that when I download the local updates... The download itself freezes. When I try to update everything at once, it hangs up every time, so I went to: Adobe Help -> Preferences -> Manually update my locally stored Help content. It lets me download almost all of the files one by one, but by the last couple of them, they start to freeze up. I read in the forums to throw away the application icon and then dump the chc.4875E02D9FB21EE389F73B8D1702B320485DF8CE.1 folder from library -> preferences and empty my trash (I'm on a MAC... BTW). Then re-install the app from the website. It works until I get to the last couple of downloads... Then they freeze again. This is very frustrating. Is there another way to resolve this issue? I really would like my workflow back. Happy New Year! =)

The uninstall then re-install and download the files one by one thing worked, finally! It only took me two days to update a program that should've taken an hour... MAX! I hope this information helps out the next person that runs into this problem.

Adobe Reader will not update from 11.0.0.6 to 11.0.0.7

I have tried installing the update to my Windows 8.1 machine, but it fails every time. When I right click and run as administrator from the download, it extracts, then pops up with:
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
From the Adobe ARM.log, there is an ERROR_SUCCESS that tells me it stayed at version 11.0.0.6.
From the AdobeSFX.log, there is a "Program finished with exit code:1642". (Which just tells me the same thing as the error pop up box.)
From the MSI Installation log there is this:
: Unknown\Absent: {AC76BA86-7AD7-0000-2550-7A8C40011007} - C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Setup\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AB0000000001}\RDC\AdbeRdrUpd11007.msp
The upgrade cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade.

I am testing the update before doing an enterprise rollout to Win8 and Win7 machines. I have tried the standalone update on other computers (Win7 and Win8) and I cannot get it to update.
I downloaded from here: Adobe - Adobe Reader Distribution Selecting Windows 8, English, and 11.0.0.7
From Administrative Command Line:
AdbeRdr11007_en_US.exe -nos_oC:\Users\$$$$$$$\Desktop\Reader -nos_ne
msiexec /a C:\Users\$$$$$$$\Desktop\Reader\Acroread.msi network location: \\$$$$$$$\apps\adobe\reader11_0_0_7\
msiexec /a \\$$$$$$$\apps\adobe\reader11_0_0_7\AcroRead.msi /p C:\Users\$$$$$$$\Desktop\Reader\AdbeRdrUpd11007.msp
This is not working either - which is not surprising considering that the update itself will not run. I can only guess that somehow the 11.0.0.6 update was incorrect somehow, but I have been using the same process to update the machines for more than 5 update cycles, so I am not sure what might have changed.
The point is, I do not want to do a complete uninstall and clean install on all of the machines in the company. Can anyone give direction with this?

I disagree about corrupted install. Every 11.0.6 pc in my enterprise also cannot upgrade to 11.0.7. We make AIPs following the same process for each patch. Something is not right with 11.0.7 MUI. I can create the AIP for 11.0.7 but cannot get the GPO to upgrade previous installations. I think something is seriously wrong with the 11.0.7 MUI msp
The upgrade cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade.
I am using the 11.0 MUI installer to create the AIP and then I patch the AIP with 11.0.7 MUI .msp file per normal practice like I always do. I am able to sucessfully create the 11.0.7 AIP without errors but none of my 11.0.6 MUI clients will upgrade successfully and are left at 11.0.6.
Something is broken with the 11.0.7 MUI .msp file.
Like I said, we do this the same way each time depending on quarterly update or security update and it ALWAYS works fine. This is well documented. We are following the exact same steps and something is seriously wrong with the new 11.0.7 MUI .msp file. It will not properly upgrade 11.0.6 MUI installations.
We are using the 11.0 MUI as the base for slipstreaming the new 11.0.7 MUI patch.
STEPS:
1. Download AdbeRdr11000_mui_std.zip and extract to temp directory.
2. Run: msiexec /a c:\aip\temp\acroread.msi TARGETDIR="c:\aip\11.0.7"
3. Copy the AdbeRdrUpd11007_MUI.msp patch to c:\aip\11.0.7\
4. Run: msiexec /a c:\aip\11.0.7\acroread.msi /p c:\aip\11.0.7\AdbeRdrUpd11007_MUI.msp
5. Choose c:\aip\11.0.7 as the installation folder
6. When completed Copy c:\aip\11.0.7 to \\servername\AIP\
7. Configure GPO to upgrade over the top of existing installation of previous GPO 11.0.6 MUI using the correct UNC folder
This has worked every time other than this 11.0.7 MUI msp file. It will not upgrade 11.0.6 installations.

Help with opening Adobe Reader and downloading updates

I can not open Adobe .pdf files any longer (this started yesterday, prior to that I could open adobe files).
When I double click a .pdf file I get this notice on my screen: Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access file.
So I went to the Adobe download site to download a new copy of Adobe. When I start the download I get this on the screen: The instruction at "0x0e3a0068" referenced memory at "0x0e3a0068." The memory could not be written. Then two options are listed: click OK to terminate or cancel to debug. So I click on cancel and I get this on my screen: Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer. A malfunctioning or malicious addon has caused I.E. to close this webpage.
I don't have AVG running, I do have avast but I've disabled it. I ran Registry Mechanic and an I.E. erasure program but nothing helps.
I have gone into I.E. and reduced the security level to its lowest state but no joy.
So, any ideas or suggestions on what's the problem and how to overcome it would be appreciated. Thanks, in advance, for your reply. Jim R.

Hi Mike..tried that as well but no joy. A friend of mine was looking at it all and noticed that it was an I.E. thing as far as not letting me redownload the reader so I went to Mozilla Firefox and I could download a new version but....whenever I attempt to open a .pdf file I get that message, "Windows can not open the specified device, path or file. You man not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
Damn...this is irritating as I need to get to some of thos files as I need them for a Journal I'm working on as editor-in-chief.
It all worked just fine last Saturday but starting Monday when I was on my flight out to D.C. no joy.
Sigh...Jim R.

Adobe Air runtime auto-update

Adobe Air runtime auto-updates itself without any notification or request on my Mac OSX 10.6.7 machine. I do not like this behavior. Is there any way to change it?

Please see our Disable automatic updates of the runtime document. However, please be aware that our updates include both new functionality and bug and security fixes. I'd definitely recommend keeping an eye out for future releases and manually installing if you disable the updates.
Thanks,
Chris

Adobe AIR 1.5 Update success unclear

After installing the Adobe AIR 1.5 Update for Fireworks CS4
on my Mac OS X 10.5.6 machine, the installed version of Fireworks
is still set at 10.0.0.495. This version string appears in the both
the About box and in the Finder Get Info window, despite the fact
that the installer window displayed that it was installing Adobe
Fireworks CS4 10.0.1.
How can I determine that the install worked?
As a sidenote, I find the entire installer to be very
non-intuitive to use for a Mac user: the installer does not use the
standard Mac install process, the installer is named "Setup.app"
with no indication what it is, the installer script is hard coded
to look for an application folder named "Adobe Fireworks CS4"
(which breaks if you've renamed the folder), the user is prompted
for a password before being told what it is doing, multiple
applications launch as part of the install process resulting in two
applications named Setup appearing in the Dock, the Quit option in
the application menu bar is greyed out and the quit button is
labelled "Exit". Things like this impact perceived quality of
product.

The update will not affect the splash screen or About Page
version number.
For a quick check you can try creating an AIR package or an
AIR preview. If everything works smooth then the installation would
have been a success.
The other details related to installation on a Mac should be
seen on all other Adobe app and not restricted to Fireworks alone.
Thanks

I can not get Adobe Flash Player to update on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari even though it is closed. I have tried all suggestions on the Adobe site and always get the same results. Thanks for any help

I can not get Adobe Flash Player to update on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari even though it is closed. I tried every thing on Adobe's site to fix the problem with the same results always. I went to Mac's site as well and was told to go to Adobe for a solution. It worked fine since a new Mac in Feb. ,but it will not update now so no Flash Player ay all. Thanks for any help.

Adobe Story Will Not Update

Hello.
I have been trying for the longest time to get back on to Adobe Story to continue working on a screenplay I am writing. But all I ever get when clicking on it is that it insists on updating. After it does that, Adobe Air says it's preparing to start loading then stops and a warning pops up, saying "Sorry, and error has occured. This application cannot be installed because this installer has been misconfigured. Please contact the application author for assistance."
When I click the CLOSE button, the whole thing starts over from the beginning: Adobe Story installs an update, Adobe Air pops up and loads something, then stops and the warning shows up. Then it repeats AGAIN. I once spent several hours on this with no change. What is this?
I noticed in the discussion forums that others are having problems on this. I don't want to delete Adobe Story because I do have a screenplay already in the works and am afraid it will all get deleted. This is not an option for me, that cannot happen. I also do not have the foggiest idea when I downloaded Story in the first place, so I can't be sure if it was before all the new updates or not. Although I thought it was, maybe it wasn't.
I need help on this severly. Please, please, please help me not lose my work. How do I get passed this?

Thank you but, since I did that when I try to sign in it says "ERROR: Sorry, your Story free subscription does not allow access to this application. Please upgrade your subscription." Then my options below are cancel or upgrade now. I don't want to upgrade. And I still don't know if my script is still there or not. A lot of times I've had to work on it offline. Even though I saved it, has it been deleted? Please tell me it hasn't been. I log on to my account on the adobe sight and all my work is gone. Same with the app version.
What do I do now? I've never had this problem before and it's a little frustrating, off putting and scary. (Scary as in I've lost all my work.)

Mail freezes when updating large RSS feed boxes

This is something I encountered and how I have formulated a work around. I have discovered that Mail will freeze when updating large RSS feed boxes.
A little history. After discovery RSS and how they work, I began building a collection of feeds. They included feeds from many major news providers. Over the years, the number articles form some of these sources went into the thousands.
As my database of articles grew, I encountered more severe and more frequent freezes of the application Mail. I began to take the computer off-line in order to work in these files. But inevitably, a situation would arise that would lead to the Mail application freezing.
Isolation of the issue with Mail and to the RSS boxes within Mail. The freeze would not occur when RSS feeds boxes where collapsed. Also, the freeze only affected the Mail application. Mac OS was not affected and I was able to alway close Mail from with in the Force Quit menu. Also, the Force Quit menu affirmed that Mail was indeed frozen by listing it as also "not responding."
Work around. To resolve this issue, I first choose to remove the number of RSS feed that I had subscribed to but used very infrequently. Second, I choose to delete old feeds from "never" to "every two weeks" from within the Mail preference menu (RSS sub-menu).
I think it took a while for Mail to fully delete messages older than two weeks. In fact, when I began deleting whole feeds, it took some time for those feeds to be removed from my mail box tree. Within the Activity Monitor application, I could see that a lot of disk use was occurring, even though the OS was allowing me to continue to use Mail and other applications.
To assist this process, I took my computer off-line and stepped away from it. Upon my return, the disk use was down to normal, the number of article in many RSS boxes where greatly reduced, and my disk had recovered over a GB of space. Also, Mail seems to be behaving properly, with smooth and quick performance.
If you found this article, I hope the information provided has been helpful! After a quick search in to previous posts, an entirely similar post was not found. However, others are finding the Mail application will freeze, but not necessary for the same reason.

Since I don't want to download any attachments from RSS feeds in Mail.app, is there any way to turn off the attachment download once and for all? I also get the beach ball for minutes when an item has a big attachment, and I fear my HD is cluttered with files I don't use.

Adobe Updater don't update Acrobat Pro 9.

Hello,
Adobe Updater don't update Acrobat Pro 9. It seems that Acrobat don't appears under Adobe Updater, it appears all others Creative Suite CS4 applications but not Acrobat. I dont know how to fix this. Is there any wahy to manually add Acrobat to the list of application that Adobe Updater updates?
I have two Macs, in one of them Adobe Updater updates correctlly Acrobat Pro 9, but the other have this problem that i describe above. In both machines i have Mac OS X 10.5.6.
I would appreciate a lo any help that you could give me. Thanks,
Marcelo :)

Hello Mike,

Thanks a lot,
Marcelo :)

Adobe Reader 9.3 Update, DELL Monitor Issue, Comes up as Mobile PC

Hi Folks,
I have currently discovered a bug in the Adobe Reader 9.3 Update released on 1/12/2010 where in a multi-monitor environment one of the monitors or sometimes multiple monitors come up as a Moblie Display.
I have seen this happen when the update is applied on a Windows 7 64bit box with Quad or Dual Monitor set-up. Using Dell p2210t Monitors and Nvidia Quado NVS Cards (all models) not sure if this is only happening on other OS's with the same set-up but that's what we've seen. I have since stopped running the upgrade or roll it back on affected machines.
I wonder if ADOBE knows of the issue and has an update for it.

Use the forum for Adobe Reader.

Updater freezes. Shuffle corrupted. Please help.

Before I get started I'll try to be clear on a few things.
UPDATER VERSION IS IRRELEVANT. I've tried with three different versions.
ITUNES VERSION IS IRRELEVANT. This is unrelated to itunes.
Short story: Program problem disallowed safe shuffle removal. It was corrupted as a result. I can't restore the ipod because the updater freezes up.
Longer story: Because of program I tried to run off my shuffle and my schools computer setup, things got messed up and when I tried to eject it it wouldn't let me. So I removed it manually. The shuffle got corrupted and was unreadable.
Seemed like a minor problem since I could easily restore the Ipod. I knew I had lost my files but that wasn't too bad. However the updaters all freeze when the ipod is plugged in or if they start while it's plugged in.
Now instead of just getting an error message when I try to do anything with my ipod the computer seems to be treating it as though it were an empty cd drive or something.
I doubt I can fix things. If I can't can anyone direct me to a replacement form and tell me if I've somehow voided the warranty?

I fixed it myself. The restorer was freezing up but apprently there is a third party one.

It works great. it may help those of you who can't get the updater to recognize your ipod.
