Adobe Updater in PE4 on Mac OSX

I am using PE4.0.1 on a G4 iMac and PB both running OSX 10.5.6. When I open PE on both machines I get the message "The Adobe Updater could not be started. Please reinstall the application and components". The Updater is on my HD under Utilities but only seems to try to update Reader and I can't change its preferences. Is this something I should bother about? Does it mean reinstalling PE or just the updater itself? I haven't used PE for some weeks but all was ok the last time and it seems odd that this has happened on both my Macs.
Thanks,
Geoff.

Barbara,
I can't get at the updater from PE's Help tab - there is only the 
opportunity to "OK" the message. Opening the updater in Mac Utilities 
allows me to uncheck Auto update but it isn't making any difference 
and the message still appears every time I open PE. Anyway, it's only 
indicated as updating Reader, although PE is still obviously looking 
for it.
Geoff.

  • Adobe updater stalls during installation (Mac)

    We bought CS3 premium a couple months ago and have tried to use the auto update from Adobe. Unfortunately after downloading the new version of RAW the updater hangs up and never completes. It is the only CS app that does this.
    It's kind of an old Mac, but it has 10.4.11 on it and enough disk space.
    Any suggestions?

    Adobe Updater:
    Adobe Camera Raw 4.2 Update (never finishes install - hangs up around 40%
    complete)

    Adobe Updater is a piece of ****. It only works when you are the first user created on the system and it does not work when filevault is enabled. Amazing how they can get that program so crappy. It is hard to do this wrong. Just download directly and apply the updaters by hand.

  • I want to use Adobe Standard.  I have MAC OSX v.10.6.8

    I want to convert files to PDF on my MacBook Pro.  I am using MAC OSX v.10.6.8.  The Adobe Pro for Mac doesn't list this version.  Does this work or is there another product I should use?

    Excel does indeed print out each tab as a separate PDF. But you could then use Preview to combine the separate documents into one:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4075
    Unless there's something I'm missing, you'd have to go through a similar process with Adobe Acrobat Pro, as I don't see any way to get that to do an entire multi-tab Excel workbook to a single PDF in one step.
    Regards.

    Anyone care to shed light on RIM regressive planning?

    It says I don't have the newest version of the desktop manager, which is incorrect (2.0.0 build 64).  This seems to be the snag when I'm connected to the internet.

  • Firefox won't update because I have Mac OSX 10.4.11

    I keep getting prompts saying that a website is unsecure and not protected. I also get prompts telling me to update, but when I follow them I'm told my operating system is too old and that I should go to Mozilla's website to get the latest version which works with OSX 10.4.11, but I can't find said version, but I do find plenty of references to a particular version being on the brink of no longer being supported.

    (For the record)
    See:
    * [[Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported]]
    * [[Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.4 or PowerPC processors]]

  • I cannot download the new adobe flash player on my mac OSX 10.5

    I have always been able to watch videos on line.  Now on msnbc it says I have to download the new Adobe Flash player in order to watch the videos.  When I try to download it won't do it. 

    Call Apple and file a formal complaint, it's Apple that is not supplying security or patches to 10.5 users and expects everyone to be computer guru's.
    16.5% of Mac users are on 10.5 and Apple just denies security and stability updates to force you to upgrade your OS or your hardware prematurely.
    There is a massive botnet of over 600,000 Mac's and the prime location is on 10.5 Intel Mac's which they refuse to fix.
    Appe's "solution" is for you to upgrade your operating system to 10.6 or even 10.7 (this will make your machine slow and won't run a lot of your software, another "problem")
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    IMO 10.6  would be best for you, the least trouble, but you bought a Mac for it to "just work" as your not "into" computers, your just a regular user like most Apple's customers.
    So call Apple and complain, then buy the 10.6.3 retail disk and stick it into your machine and upgrade and cross your fingers and update to 10.6.8. 
    Backup your persona data off the machine first to a storage drive and disconnect.
     Most commonly used backup methods explained
    Once your on 10.6.3 use software update to get to 10.6.8, then you can install Flash.
