AE and Pr won't re-install!

So AE has been giving me some trouble recently, and I was getting frustrated. Nothing was working to fix it. So I uninstalled it, and tried a re-install from the disks (Production Premium CS3), but it wouldn't install. It kept giving me errors. Reading on forums that it could be thinking there are other traces of CS## on my computer, I decided to rid the computer of all Adobe products and start fresh. No big deal since all of my project files are on external drives. Well, the re-install gave me the same error, and now it won't let me install Premiere either. Everything else installs fine. No problems. But it won't let me install the main two I use ... ok, well, 2 out of 3 (I use PS more than Pr). I've tried multiple times to delete all of the files and re-install, and it's the same issue. I even tried downloading 5.5 (the trial ... I'm not made of money, people), and it'll install the trial of everything except AE and Pr 5.5. What gives?! Has anyone run into this before? I'm now AE-less and I'm not pleased.
Please advise.
And no ... I don't have Time Machine set up.

I'm not familiar with the caps.db. I'll try that now.
:::checking:::
Looks like the cleaner tool deleted it according to the log.
Although when I followed that path, there it was. I deleted it now and I'm retrying the install. Here's to hoping!
Also, can I just delete that enite Adobe folder in Application support? Would anything in there be causing trouble? With a re-install it should bring all the necessary files back, right?

While using FF Browser, a window appeared, telling me I had an outdated version and should upgrade and it won't complete install nor allow me to uninstall to re

First of all, I have Windows XP/HE/SP3 and my main browser is IE8, tho i also have Google and did have, FF V#21. And while using the FF browser, was alerted that my current version was outdated, etc, even tho I just installed V#21 only 1 week ago, but I took FF's word for it and clicked (x'd) to install the upgrade. The application (AP) used to install was called "Optimum Installer" and had the word "Firefox" in smaller print in the upper left hand corner. This seemed diff from the AP i had used to install just 1 week prior, but since i was using IE8 to install FFV#21 originally, I figured the FF browser used this "Optimum" AP, so I proceeded. The small window then said, "you have chosen to open this file" and yet there was no option to "open" only to "save" or cancel. So i x'd on "save" and my Norton file checker popped up to tell me this file is "safe." But afterwards no install window appeared, so i tried to DL the file again and still no Install window after a total of 8 attempts. I finally found the setup file in "my documents" and opened it and x'd to install. It seemed to work ok, tho again, I was asked alot of questions about making thus and such my default browser, or search engine, or home page, etc, and even some other, but i declined them all, i think, but not sure about one possible miscue. Anyways, the AP told me I'd successfully installed this newer version of FF. So of course i wanted to open it and see how it would work, and i went to my task bar/notification tray to X on the globe icon and instead it showed a "setup" icon. I put my mouse under it and it said "Mozilla Firefox" so i went ahead and x'd on it expecting FF to open. Instead, a small warning appeared telling me i had to reboot for the install..to be completed, so i did, but no change. Tried atleast half a dozen times and nothing, no new or any, version of FF working on my pc now. I even tried to look at support, but no answers, then tried to uninstall and it won't even let me do that, it keeps saying that "your computer must first be restarted to complete a previous upgrade"; yet that already hasn't been working. Also, i went from a V#21 to a V#13.0.1 with 77MB+ of space, which is way more than FF#21. Now I do believe this version is corrupt and really don't want it, but can't get rid of it. I even tried to reinstall V21 (also from IE8, since I don't even have FF browser now) and it goes to a point, but then also tells me I can't get this V21 til I complete an install/upgrade of another version. So basically, i have what i believe is a corrupt/malicious piece of software on my pc, calling itself Mozilla V#13.0.1 - which I can't get rid of, and also can't reinstall the version I had, least i finish installing the one i have but don't think I now want. Keep in mind also, I can't do any of the suggestions from within the FF browser that have been suggested, because I don't have it any more, only IE8 and Google....Any suggestions?

Dear Colbabomb; thankyou for your links.
So far, I looked at your first solution, Revo Uninstaller and it gives you a 30 free trial. Ergo, it will eventually cost money so I'm leery of using those kinds of programs in general, meaning most "free trials" have unwanted strings attached and often are big probs to get rid of later. Perhaps you can assure me that it is easy and very user friendly, before I proceed. And I already ran malwarebytes and it found nothing tho the program still can't be uninstalled. I downloaded Adw Cleaner and during the install, my Norton's security popped up and warned that there were (low risk) threats with two of their "other offers" and i hadn't even actually clicked to agree either of them. Nonetheless, Norton warned me against the "lyrics finder" and "deal ply." In fact, there was a box already with an x in it, saying that you are accepting deal ply if you x on "next." Well, except I unchecked that box before clicking on next, yet when it went to fully install, it still showed that it was adding itself; so, just before the install was 100% completed, I had to abort the whole thing. I really do hope your other suggestions are programs that you personally know that they don't try and trick you. But right now, I would not suggest Adw Cleaner to anyone. I even read the fine print about what they will try and install and how to decline and it still tried sticking stuff on that i believed I had declined. Anyways, i have to leave now, shall pick up later this evening, if my pc is still functioning.

Adobe reader and flash won't finish installing

When I attempt to play a youtube video, it says to update flash or it won't play. So I go to update it, download the official update, and when I hit run, nothing happens, after waiting, thinking it might be taking a minute to startup, I click it again. "Only a single instance of this application can run"
10 mintues later, nothing.

Safari and Mail won't open in Snow Leopard

Any else having this VERY frustrating problem of Safari and Mail not opening. I've installed Snow Leopard and downloaded and installed the 10.6.1 update. Then when I try to open Safari, it says, "You can't use this version of the application Safari with this version of Mac OS X. You have Safari 4.0.3." When I try to open Mail, it says the same thing. I downloaded Safari again, and it won't even install it saying, "Safari can't be installed on this disk. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or newer." But I have 10.6.1.
Help. Anyone? Please?
Thanks

HI,
Try launching Safari and Mail from the Applications folder. If it works, drag the Safari and Mail icons off the Dock. Just drag straight up. They'll go poof.
With Safari or Mail open, select the icon in the Dock/Keep in Dock.
If that doesn't help, locate these files.
com.apple.Mail.plist
com.appple.Safari/plist
Drag those files to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

Why won't my installed LR6 stay installed?

I've installed my upgrade 4X now and it won"t stay installed. It disappears when I try to reopen it and I'm back to LR5 with none of the new features (HDR/facial recognition new editing erase brushes), LR6 splash page etc. The only place I can find LR6 is back on the computer's downloads. LR 5 has the banner at the top of "Lightroom 3 Catalog 6-3

I have the same problem.

Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

Specs:
iMac 10.8.5
3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
I deleted it immediately.
Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username.
So I brought my mac back to the store.
Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

I have just bought an iPhone 5 and it won't sync to iTunes. It says it needs iTunes 10.7, which I have downloaded and installed. I still get the error message and looking at "about iTunes" it says 10.6.3. What do I do??

Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:

Yes. You can set the payment method to "None" once you log into iTunes on your PC/Mac. I have it set up this way.

Hi guys I'm really in need of some help. I have an IMac I3 for a while now I've been having a problem of my machine refusing it shut down , it goes to a blue screen with a spinning wheel but doesn't shut down. And now won't boot from install DvD

Please some one help me ...
A) my mac won't shut down with external HD connected (if it's been used)
B) there are disk permissions that can't be fixed SUID stuff ..
C) I have now verified the Mac HD and it tells me it's corrupt in bold red writing and to start up from install DVD
D) it won't boot from DVD so I cannot run the repair , initially the machine was spitting it out on start up , now it appears to be attempting to boot off DVD , well it sounds like it is .... BUT it's hanging with the Mac Logo and a wheel ... For um .... 30min now...
E) weirdly when OSX is booted off the hard drive , it won't recognise the Install DvD or the applications one... It just spits them out....
I had an old PPC 17" and it was a beaut .... Never had a single problem with it ...
I bought this one December 2010 and it's been nothing but issues for a computer in excess of £1000 I'm extremely disappointed ... And weirdly the shutting down issue started when it was a week out of warrantee ... I feel conned and am almost at the point of throwing it at a wall and buying a PC

Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
It says ;
Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
Continuing...
And stops ...
Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* 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 (not in the Firefox program 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.

I'm new to the Mac world. I installed my Epson printer on my IMAC and it worked fine. Then I installed Windows7 through Bootcamp and I think it reconfigured a port and now I get a communication error and it won't print. Any help on how do to fix this?

Sorry, I'm new to the Mac world. I recently got a new IMAC and installed my Epson CX5800F printer and it worked fine.

Can anyone help me with this problem, and/or help me get the port back the way it was? Thanks, Barry

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.
