Air won't download
From the Adobe download page, I click "install" the screen flickers and send me right back to the install page where I started. Like an idiot I uninstalled Air to see if that would allow the download... it didn't now I have no Air installed and can't download a new install. I'm on an Intel Mac. The error message says I have to disable virus protectio, only I don't have any.
I have tried to download the run version from 3 different places and the same thing happens... the download won't install, always flips me right back to the start screen.
I run a lot of important apps on Air and now I am down.
Any help would be Greatly appreciated.
Could you try downloading the AIR installer directly from:
Mac: http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/mac/download/3.2/AdobeAIR.dmg
Win: http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/win/download/3.2/AdobeAIRInstaller.exe
Thanks,

Adobe Inspiration Browser Update and Adobe Air won't download/install?
I get repeated error messages, that it won't download/install. I followed the instructions. All I get is "a download error occurred. Try again?" Not much help there!!!!!! Now what?
Hi anon2011
Adobe has stopped supporting IB in PSE11 and is moving towards cloud sharing via Adobe Revel. In view of this I wouldn’t worry too much about installing or updating.
All of the tutorials can now be found on Adobe TV. -
Macbook Air won't download keynote, numbers or pages
I had to have my macbook air (2007) which has osx 10.7.5 erased and reloaded. Now it won't let me download my keynote, pages, or numbers because I don't have 10.9 or later. I have tried to purchase mountain lion, but it gives me the same message. It says my operating system can't handle it. Of course before they erased it, it was fine! I was able to run all those applications.
Whether you purchase Mountain Lion or not should not matter. You will not be able to upgrade to OS X 10.9 Mavericks anyway, because your hardware is too old. Only late 2008 or later MacBook Air can run Mavericks.
So your best hope would be to restore the Pages, Numbers, and Keynote you had before your disaster from your computer's backup. -
My iPad Air won't download any apps or app updates.
Okay, so my iPad Air has not been downloading any apps, when I tap update it brings the download icon up but does nothing. I stop it then start it again and the loading icon just spins constantly. It's sorta the same thing when I download an app or anything else. my wifi is fine and I can connect to the internet with safari or any of my apps, I even tried it from a friends network and it did the same thing.
A List of things I have tried:
1. Turn off/on IPad
2. Reset iPad, (holding lock and home for 15 seconds)
3. Reset network settings
4. Reset all settings
5. updated iPad to iOS 8.1.2
6. signed out of iTunes threw settings>iTunes and App Store>Apple id> sign out, then restarted the iPad and signed back in
7. Downloading things from a different and working wifi connection
none of that has fixed it, I seriously do not want to back up and restore if at all possible because 1 it's such a hassle and 2 I have such bad luck with backups, last time I did a backup and restored from it I lost the app data for 5 of my apps 3 of them being games I loved playing (infinity blade 3, gangster vegas, modern combat 4) because no matter what I did or how many times I restored from the backup those apps would not sync over to the iPad. I had read something that I should check the Downloads tab in the ITunes store to make sure there were no downloads stuck preventing other things from downloading, but recently I noticed the download tab is no longer an option on my bar in iTunes and no icon for it in edit. same with my iPhone 6. (why would Apple remove something like that?) I searched every inch of the iTunes store and even in view your apple ID i can't find the download queue anywhere.
Am I overlooking the download queue? Did they remove it from iOS 8? Anything else I can try besides restoring? X.x this has been going on for to long now and I just got a Jot Touch for my iPad and wanted to download some apps i could use it with but I can't because of this, I'm also missing out on holiday stuff and new games :/ If anyone can help me with this I would love you forever.Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.

My computer crashed. I bought a new Mac Book Air, but my Photoshop CS4 won't download.
My computer crashed. I bought a new Mac Book Air, but my Photoshop CS4 won't download. It keeps wanting a serial number from my last product. I put it in, but it isn't taken. I am frustrated and furious! What can I do?
Bateman777 I reviewed your account and it appears the full version Photoshop software title you purchased was Photoshop CS3. As Kglad suggested please make sure to utilize your previous full version serial number. You can find details on how to locate your registered serial numbers at Find your serial number quickly.

I have old Office:Mac 2004 Student and Teacher Edition from my previous MacBook and it won't download onto my new MacBook Air via external optical drive and says that PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Am I stuck bying the newer version or is there a way around the software issue so I don't have to spend more money. Thanks for your help.
KevinYou can purchase Offce 2011 from MacMall for about $99 so it is well worth the money. As said in a previous post by Kappy, you can try one of the free office suites available. They can read Office files and can save documents in Office format. Apple's iWork is also a good ffice suite afavilable from the App Store by download. I have used Open Office,Libre Office and Neo Office and have liked each one of them. Neo Office has the closest match to Apple operating systems - it just feels like an Apple program. Open Office and Libre Office are also very good choices and dont have much of a learning curve at all.

I was trying to sync my itouch with my new mac, and some songs won't download because they are not authorized for this computer. But even after my computer was authorized they still won't sync. How do I fix this?
I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue. -
Adobe AIR won't install - Windows 7 Ultimate x64
"Sorry, an error has occurred.
An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator."
Well, I asked myself and verified that I am allowed to install any programs I wish to at will.
I even toyed with adding extra permissions for the .exe and shortcut [see below], to no avail.
I also checked your Adobe AIR installation troubleshooter section before posting. Unfortunately, none of the solutions 100% applied to my circumstances or OS, yet I tried a few anyway and had it confirmed by a Windows dialogue that I need not have bothered as it assured me that they weren't applicable in my case.
I found another thread like mine where somebody suggested creating a shortcut with an additional -uninstall parameter added to the .exe path. It didn't work.
I used Microsoft's Installation Cleanup Utility and that didn't work to "un-confuse" the installer either.
Do you have any more suggestions?
Adobe AIR came with the HTC Sync program for my phone, which appears to have dependencies on it where it won't completely work without it.
Thanks in advance for any input.
ps. I created a new thread because I couldn't find the "reply" button on a similarly unresolved thread regarding Adobe AIR installation issues on Windows 7.I would like to say thanks to artrose54 and to playswithtech for their thoughtful responses to my problem. I finally figured out which number I was to delete, and then, having made a copy of the number in notepad, deleted it. Upon a restart to my computer I then was able to download adobe air 2.7. I found that I still could not download the shutterfly express uploader, however; so I applied the same approach. I went looking for the number in the registry that corresponded to the uploader. I deleted it; restarted the computer; returned to shutterfly; and then was able to download the express uploader. I am sure I will find other uses for Adobe Air in the future.

Subject: Re: Adobe AIR won't install - Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Hi everyone,
Here is the fix that worked for me,
You need to go to start run and type in regedit
now press ctrl+f for find and type in "adobe air" without the quotes then click find next
the first entry it finds is the one I deleted, it is a long number on left side of screen that is greyed just right click and delete it
I then rebooted the computer and ran adobe air installation
and it worked with out a problem
The adobe air log file really doesn't tell u anything but where it tried to find the setup.msi file
but it doesn't exist because of the registry entry that needs to be deleted which is what causes the error
If u r not sure of editing the registry then maybe you know someone that can help you
I hope this helps you out it worked for me -
I am new to this I Pad Air and was downloading games and is still showing in waiting mode with the circle continually going Arian. I want to delete but unable to figure ot how. also needing to delete history, need a lot of help
Hey Carolyn1951,
Thanks for the question. I understand you have a few apps that only display "Waiting". The following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue, the answer may help you as well:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

XCode 4.2.1 won't download from App Store
I am new to the developers world. So I decided with great excitment to download and start using xcode. I go to the app in MAS and it just won't download it gets stuck at 10 mb. So I try to download the dmg from the developers site. This time it seems successful. But then when I try to use the dmg it says the file is corrupt. I just cant get to download or install this application? Why does everything seem so hard with the new operating systems!?
I have not installed previous versions of this app and I am using OS 10.7.3, I am a paid developer account holder. All my specs seem to be fine to download and install, so why won't it work? Any light on this matter would be greatfully appreciated.
Regards,
Jamesfound this and it seems to have worked for the APP Store Issue.
Bad news is I have waisted almost 2 GIG of download getting them DMG from the Dev centre
I had the same problem on a MacBook Air that ships with Lion
This is how you fix it
0. Close Every App (Safari, iTunes, AppStore, etc)
1. Launch Finder
2. Press CMD+SHIFT+G (or click on Go then Go To Folder)
3. Type the following /var/folders
4. Open up Console (Spotlight Console and launch it)
5. Open The AppStore
6. Try to buy something free and you will see this message "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
7. Switch to Console and look at the error message
8/31/11 6:50:37.121 PM App Store: FRPurchaseManager: Preflight operation for 415571499 failed with error: Error Domain=com.apple.appstore Code=0 "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." UserInfo=0x7f9b2464aa00 {NSLocalizedFailureReason=Cannot create PKProduct from "file://localhost/var/folders/3p/sflvgxwj3hs4kdkjpgb30r4c0000gn/C/com.apple.app store/415571499/preflight.pfpkg" Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1100 "The requested URL was not found on this server."

It may be damaged or was not signed., NSUnderlyingError=0x7f9b2464ac40 "The requested URL was not found on this server."}
In my case the problem was some file in the /var/folders/3p
5. Quit AppStore
6. I deleted the entire 3p folder (it gets recreated when you launch AppStore). If you really want to be safe, create a copy of that folder.
You don't need to restart. Just Launch AppStore and it works! -
Ibook purchase won't download on ipad
I purchased a book on my Mac (Mavericks OS) from the iBooks store. It downloaded on my computer. It also downloaded on my iPhone. But when I tried to download it on my iPad Air (OS 8.0.2) it indicates in small gray letters that it is downloading, which is where it has been stuck for the past 12 hours. So I rebooted the iPad. Same result. When I typed the title into the search box in iBook,the book appeared on the screen with the little blue circle with the square dot inside showing next to the title. I tapped it and it became the "read". Then I tapped it and it became the little cloud symbol with the downward pointing arrow. When I tapped that, the little blue circle returned but nothing happened, again.
Thanks for any help you can give.
RandyI have a similar problem although it is only for one book. Other purchased books are downloading OK but one I purchased made to be viewed on the ipad will not download.
Tried signing out of itunes account and signing back in.
Tried deselecting sync collections
Tried upgrading ipad to ios8.2
Really frustrating. If it can't be fixed it would be nice if I could get the money back for the purchased book that won't download. Is there any way to do this? -
My macbook air won't load. Says start up disk is full but I can't get the home page to open
My Macbook air won't load. Says the start up disk is full but won't open the home page so I can do anything about it
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. -
my macbook air won't get past the white apple screen. I've tried power cycling the batter but won't help
Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.

d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. -
iPad app ,won't download suggestions
Hi IAndrewD,
Several issues have encountered this issue. We've seen it in some of our reviews on the app store and on our support email list ([email protected]). So far, everyone who's contacted us has been able to successfully update after verifying that their network connection was working and restarting the download.
Please try the following:
1) Make sure wifi and/or cellular data are turned on
2) Test to be sure your internet connection is working by opening safari and browsing to a website (like www.adobe.com).
3) Single tap the app’s icon on the home screen and it will pause the download. Now go back to the iTunes Apps store, switch to the “Updates” screen and click “Update” to resume the download.
4) If this doesn't work, go to Settings -> iTunes & App Stores and tap the Apple ID to sign-out. Restart the iPad, go back to Settings -> iTunes Apps Store and sign-in. Tap the waiting icon to update the app.
I'd also be happy to work with you on our support email alias or by phone if you email [email protected]
Thank you!

I am having problems with updating and downloading from my mac to my ipod, won't download at all. any advice?
Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
