Can't update ADOBE after many attempts. Why won't it work?

Keep getting messages saying I must update ADOBE. Keep following directions for update. Then I'm disallowed access to anything that requires ADOBE update and a red typed message appears again saying I need to update ADOBE. Why won't this work ? I am a senior citizen and am not a computer savvy user. Need help with this ongoing problem.

Hello fiddle4dee, probably you mean adobe flash player, the latest flash version for your Intel Mac OS X 10.6 today is the 16.0.0.296. If you have a previous version then uninstall it with the :

after that you can install the latest from the next link :

thank you

  • Can't update adobe after effects cc

    For over a year I have tried to update My adobe After Effects CC cs5.5 to cs6, but I can't.

  • I can't update my after effects software on mac 2014

    Hi, I recently downloaded a trial run of the Adobe After Effects software on my 2012 Mac Mini. After the download was complete, and I tried to launch the program, I got a display message that said this:
    So I checked on the creative cloud, and it said that I had an update for the software. So, I proceeded to install the software update however, after many attempts, it shows this message every time I try to update.
    I honestly do not know what to do at this point, and it is very frustrating that I can not even use the trial version of this software.

  • Hi I am having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and loading then I get an error message saying unable to download app. Eventually,after many attempts it works.

    Hi Guys - for a few days I have been having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and downloading then eventually says unable to download app. Sometimes after many attempts it wil eventually work. I tested it on an old iPhone 3G and got the same problem so it is not an iOS 5 issue. My WI-FI connection is working fine. I was wondering if this is an App Store problem? Anyone else in the UK having this problem?

    Hi John
    iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
    I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb.  This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
    I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well.  This might be the common thread.

  • Good day! I have an iPod touch 4G and after many attempts I managed to updated it to ver. 6.1.5.

    Good day!
    I have had an iPod touch  version 4.1.2 for almost 4 years and after many attempts I manage to upated it to version 6.1.5.
    I then created an account with iCloud so that I could have my backups done directly to iCloud.
    I then restore the iPod to the backup I had on my computer but although it copied the photos, notes, contacts tc. it didn't copy the music I had on it.
    When I tried to sync my music from my iTunes on my PC I got a message stating that my iPod was previously sync to a DarklordPC, not a clue of who's PC this is and it's the first time this message came up. It gave me the option of erasing the sync of the DarklordPC and go ahead with a new sync, which I did, but it didn't sync at all.
    I've retried to sync numerous times and it tries to sync but after a few seconds it just stops.
    Can anyone help me please...I'm going crazy without my music

  • Time Machine Locked after MacBook Air reformatted. My MacBook Air was overfull due to an Address book issue (duplication) so after many attempts to clear space, I ended up wiping out the system and reloading Lion.

    Time Machine Locked after MacBook Air reformatted. My MacBook Air was overfull due to an Address book issue (duplication) so after many attempts to clear space, I ended up wiping out the system and reloading Lion. This resulted in the Time Machine thinking that it was now connected to a different computer. Apparently this diables the existing information. 
    Now I can see that the back-ups exist (back to Sept 2012) but they are greyed out, therefore unavailale to restore. Again, this seems like an issue that shouldn't be happening. The whole point of the Time Machine is to enable reinstatement of data after catastrophic failure. What if my computer actually had to be replaced due to a hardware issue? How would I beableto restore anything?
    The path already (unsuccessfully) taken;
    Open Library on the computer, Open Time Machine, Select Correct date, drill down to correct data you wish to restore, click "Restore".
    This did not work because the correct date was greyed out. Restore key was greyed out.

  • How can I update Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard

    How can I update Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard after installing it on Windows 7? Ive tried a few AcrobatUpd8**_all_incr.msp files but I get an error that the program to upgrade may be missing. I cannot afford to upgrade it to X* when this works for what I need it for which is simply to break up multi page documents created by Quickbooks.

    Certainly, the printer driver in Acrobat 8.0 cannot install in Windows 7 64 bit - it wasn't written too. Apparently, though, 8.1 is capable of installing the printer driver.
    Unfortunately, Adobe have taken down the page with release notes. But you may need to use the *efg* (English, French, German) versions. See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-patch-acrobat-reader-7.html
    After 8.1 there is a "universal" (all language) update.

    By Adobe, do you mean Flash Player?
    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • Can not update apps after IOS8 update on iPhone 4s

    Can not update apps after IOS8 update on iPhone 4s
    I can no longer update apps on my iPhone 4s after the IOS 8 update. The IOS 8 update took a very long time to complete, maybe 12 hours, and afterwards, it worked but updating packages were very slow. Package updates have since been problematic and about 4 days ago, it stopped being able to update any packages. I click on them to update and they never make any progress. I have 2.8 Gbytes free and I keep deleting more and more packages, pictures, etc. It seems like, from the amount of stuff that I have deleted, I should have more than 2.8 Gbytes free.
    Is anyone else having this kind of problem?

    16GB iPhone4: Go to Settings, scroll down to iTunes &amp; App Stores and touch. At the top of the next page it shows: Apple ID. Touch this. Select Sign Out. Your Apple ID will go away. Re-enter Apple ID and password. Try App Store again.
       Other solutions were to go to Settings:General:Date&amp;Time and turn off auto-update, then change date to next year. This didn't work for me, nor a lot of other users on the forums. It took reading a lot of threads to find the log-out, log-in solution. Even on the official Apple Website all I saw was: Make sure your connection is working, battery is charged, desktop is plugged in when you try to sync. OK I exaggerate, but with all the users posting this problem, you'd think they'd post their solutions when they work with a Tech Help call.

  • Can not update Adobe Reader as it did not come from Apple App Store.

    Can not update Adobe Reader or Adobe Lightroom 5 as they did not come through Apple App Store.  Note says I selected not to accept apps other than from Apple.  Just started backing up new Iphone and Ipad to Macbook Pro.  Is there a setting some where that would allow updates?    

    Yes there is a setting for that. Open system preferences go to the security & privacy sections, click the lock icon and type in your password. Then in the "Allow applications downloaded from: area tick Anywhere.
