Can't install updates for Flash, get the "unable to install application configuration" error message

I'm using Windows 7 32-bit with Firefox 17.0.1 -- everything's up to date. I keep getting this error every time I try to update an Adobe add-on using the idiot stub installer -- I don't have this problem with a full installer, such as I've been able to find for Shockwave. Why can't I donwload a full installer for Flash or Reader and avoid this stupid problem??? It started about two or three Windows updates ago, and nothing else is now on my system. I don't really care who's responsible (Windows/Microsoft or Adobe) -- I jut want the blasted things to update and work. HELP!!!

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to search for an item named "Safari Extensions List". If found, delete it. Quit Keychain Access.
Quit and relaunch Safari.

Reboot your iPad and then try installing the apps again.

I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.

I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks, Jack

We randomly get the "specified Group is in use" error message when using the DIO Buffered Handshake In VI. How do we get rid of this?

We're using the DIO Buffered handshake in VI (PCI 6503 Board) to read TTL pulses from a wavemeter. Sometimes we are able to collect data, but sometimes we get this error message: "specified Group is in use". No matter how long we wait between taking data, we sometimes (yet not always) get this message. We have one group of 2 ports that we're reading. Is there a way we can get rid of this problem?

Hi,
Are you running any example program or your own?
1. This problem happens when you abnormally terminate the program, such as, by clicking on the abort button.
Say first time you run the programd and it runs fine and then abort the program. In that case, the DIO group is not cleared and hence the subsequent runs give the error that you said.
In such case I would suggest you to open the Device Reset.vi which is under Functions Pallete>>Data Acquisition>>Calibration and Configuration>>Device Reset.vi.
On the front panel of the Device Reset.vi, enter the device number of your card and run the Device Reset.vi. If you get an error on the front panel, then run again so the error goes away. Now run you DIO program and it should run fine.
The botto
mline is, dont abort the program. If it has no functionality incorporated to stop it depending on some condition, then incorporate it.
Please do let me know if my suggestion helped.
Sincerely,
Sastry V.

HT5568 My update for Safari 6.02 doesn't work, yours? Error message on download begin.

Error message:
The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -3001.)(102)

lol - pardon the reality check, but if a bad update is offered even for a few seconds, there will be a certain number of people who manage to hit that narrow window and try to download it, and a certain number of those will end up here with terror in their hearts. That's the statistics of very large populations; it's almost as unavoidable as Brownian motion. You guys drew the short straw this time around, it will be someone else next time, but there will always be someone in this fix. Sometimes fast is actually too fast.
I know it's a horrifying thought (and there's not as much sarcasm in that as you might think, because I define the term 'computer junkie'), but this is a smoke-em-if-you've-got-em moment. We all just need to let go and do something else for a while, and not worry about it. the thought sends chills up my spine...

Installing Update for Flash Player

I have installed on my computer Adobe Flash 11 Plugin and Adobe Shockwave Player 11.6. I am composing a photo book with Shutterfly and encountering some problems. Shutterfly suggested that I clear the cache and cookies which I have done. They also suggested that I install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. I attempted to download; it begins to install and then stops. I have Malwarebytes......does it need to be disabled in order to install the Flash Player? If so, please tell me how to do this and reinstall.

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one of the following links and selectiong "Save Target as" (IE) or "Save Link as" (other browsers).
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Save the installer to your downloads folderv - DO NOT run it yet.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE you opening anything else, locate and run the installer.

No matter how many times I reset or update my sync key I get the "wrong sync key" red box error message

Version 3.6.17

Sync was an Add-on before the release of FF4 after which it was integrated into the current release, so it may behave differently.
You could maybe consider updating to the current version which is v4.0.1
To do that, click Help | About Firefox | Check For Updates and then "Apply Update".
P.S. I'm off on vacation for a month from today so I won't be able to respond again until mid-July. But I'm sure one of the other guys will be able to takeover if the problem persists.

A fix for Mac users encountering "unable to reach Adobe servers" error

Seemingly out of nowhere - i.e., not coinciding with any Mac OS, or app updates - I started getting the "unable to reach Adobe servers" error from the Creative Cloud desktop app. Signing into the Adobe website was impossible, too. When I say impossible, I mean it literally - the login window would not display, in Safari or Chrome.
I'm sure this is posted somewhere here, but just in case, here's the solution that worked for me (posted by phatfish81 on Feb 7, 2015 4:35 PM):

Hi,
i'm a new member of this community. I've recently learn about flashback malware and other threats to Mac devices. I've installed the new Mac OS X update for Lion 10.7, and the flashback removal tool. What about the update for Flash Player? Should i install it? Otherwise, should i permanently remove this app?
I realy need some advice.
Thank's to all.

Be sure to install the latest version of Safari (version 5.1.7) which is available via Software Update (in the Apple menu) if you have not already installed it. This update will automatically disable older versions of Flash when new versions are available, and will instruct you on how to install the latest version on your system. This should help keep your system safe from any vulnerabilities in Flash.
Note that this is only useful if you use Safari, though other browsers have their own update mechanisms you should research and enable or configure to your liking.

Security update for flash player....did it install?

Yesterday on dec 16, I had a window pop up on my comp telling me that there is some security update for flash player so I clicked install and it was connecting and everything...then I allowed Adobe systems incorportated permission and all that stuff which was normal....then the adobe helper stopped working and I got a message saying that it will have to close the program......now I don't know...did the updates install or not...what were the security updates so I can check...any advice?

Hi, well DLM is Download Manager and sometimes it is used to D/L FP. It is supposed to disconnect after FP is downloaded. Go to Add/Remove, you should see Flash Player 10 ActiveX listed. If the Adobe Download Manager or DLM is listed Remove it from there and reboot. It is not supposed to be there after it serves it purpose.
The version is 10.0.42.34, I hope you just made a typo:-)
Also, if you are using IE, go to Tools>Manage add ons and look to see if you have listed Shockwave Flash Object......
ActiveX......Flash10d.ocx and that it is Enabled. Be sure to check in "currently loaded" and "have been used".
In Firefox you would look in extenstions, add ons or plug-ins, look for SWF.
In order for FP to operate properly, you need the ActiveX in IE and the SWF plug-in in FF.
Thanks

How can I download itunes when I get the following errors ..ituneshelper did not install correctly error 7..I .have installed and uninstalled a dozen times with various fixes...b noir for example and used Revo to clean up.
This has been a problem for 6 weeks now, I retry when I have time and patience and use my other laptop which is also Windows 7 and runs with no problem.
Every attempt fails when all seems fine on the desktop and I try to log on to Itunes I get the errors.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (If this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.
