Cannot Download Adobe 8 Updater Plug-in

I have just installed Adobe Reader 8, and I am trying to download the Adobe Updater plug-in. When I click on <Help/Check for Updates>, I get the Adobe Updater box which says: <Checking for updates for Adobe Reader 8> and is quickly refreshed to: <Checking for updates for Adobe Updater> The Adobe Updater box then refreshes to read: <Downloading Update: Adobe Updater plug-in> Then it refreshes again to: <No Internet connection was found. Please check your Internet settings or firewall> But my computer IS connected to the Internet, and has been for half an hour! IE and OE appear to be functioning correctly. My Internet settings have been working fine for months with everything else, and looking at McAfee Firewall Program Permissions, I see that Adobe Reader 8 and Adobe Updater have Full Access. (Hmm, why is Adobe Updater listed, if I haven't actually downloaded it yet?)

According to Adobe's Knowledge base here's what you need to do
>Solution 1: Download the updates manually.
If you are accessing the internet from behind an authenticating proxy server, download updates manually from the Adobe website at www.adobe.com/support/downloads/ .
>Solution 2: Add crl.adobe.com to your proxy server exception list.
If you are accessing the internet from behind a non-authenticating proxy, then add crl.adobe.com to the exception list of your proxy server and ensure that port 80 is open. For more information regarding your proxy server exception list and ports, contact your network administrator.
>Solution 3: Delete the Data folder and run the updater again.
If you are accessing the internet from behind a non-authenticating proxy, then delete the Data folder from the Adobe/Updater folder and choose Help > Updates again.
The Data folder is found in the following location:
-- Mac OS: Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Updater folder
-- Windows: Document and Settings/[username]/Application Data/Adobe/Updater

So, I followed the instruction for downloading the new update, but, it stops at 97% and I getting a message to close Safari, although, the Safari is closed when installing the update. what should do for the proper installation?
<Subject Edited by Host>

Sorry, none of that worked. Its very frustrating.
Also, since the last upgrade, which seems almost automatic, half of the icons for my bookmarks and actual websites have disappeared.
I haven't upgraded to Mac OS Lion, is that part of these problems?

Hello eadesgirl,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are experiencing a "blocked plugin" message on your Mac when viewing certain web sites.
To address this situation, be sure to follow the steps mentioned here:
Adobe Flash Player updates available for OS X on December 12, 2014 - Apple Support
If you're using an out-of-date version of the Adobe Flash Player plug-in, you may see the message “Blocked plug-in,” “Flash Security Alert,” or “Flash out-of-date” when attempting to view Flash content in Safari.
Clicking the indicator displays a message that Adobe Flash Player is out-of-date:
To continue viewing Flash content, update to a later version of Adobe Flash Player:
Click the Download Flash button. Safari opens the Adobe Flash Player page on the Adobe website.
Follow the instructions on the Adobe website to download and install the latest version of the plug-in.
If you need to use an older version of Flash Player, you can use Internet plug-in management in Safari to run the plug-in in unsafe mode for websites that you trust.
Contact Adobe if you need help downloading, installing, or using Adobe Flash Player.
Sincerely,
Jeremy

Hi Deb,
Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience so far.
I am not sure if you already tried this, but in case not, try to update Muse via Creative cloud directly.
Start creative cloud application manager, if you dont have it, you can download it from here,
Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Windows : Adobe Application Manager
Login using your adobe id, once you are in, switch to Apps, and you should see the Update for Muse, click Update.
Let me know if you get any error or warning.
Thanks.

Cannot download the latest update 7.1.1 even though plugged in and on wifi keeps saying error help!!!!!

I am not getting an errr #. It just says that there are purchases on my ipod, not in my itunes. I transfer all of my ipod purchases into itunes. Then I try an download the new version of my ipod 7.1.1. It still says there are purchases on my ipod touch. So I just hit continue because their are not purchases on my ipod, that aren't in itunes. It extracts the software, and backs up ipod. Then itunes just closes. When I reopen it I get the same message A new iPod software version (7.1.1) is available for the iPod “My" iPodl”. Would you like to update your iPod now? My imac has recently been restored to as new, I have the newest ipod touch, and my version of itunes is also the newest version. The only thing that I can assume is that the problem, is another untested & bad update, from Capn Cook.

Cannot download Adobe Flashplayer, window opens and stops at 25%. Safari 8.0.4, MacBook Air 2013. How do I update Flash?

Install Flash Player in Safe Mode.
Shut down the computer.
Press the power button. Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup,but not before the startup sound.
Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo on the screen. Startup will take longer than usual.
Login to your account. Launch Safari.
Enter this address in the Safari address bar manually.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Follow the prompts. Install it.
Once done, quit Safari and restart the computer from  in the menu bar.
Allow Plug-ins
Safari > Preferences > Security
Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
Enable it.

I have Photoshop Elements 9. I downloaded the plug in 6.0 and it works on the RAW files from Canon EOS 60D, but not with Canon EOS 70D. I cannot download higher versions of plug in, because I have Windows Vista and it is not supported.

You could try using the DNG converter 8.7 on Windows vista:
<Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
<Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
You then need to watch this video to get hang of it:

Hope this helps.

I cannot download the new update - Error code: 43

I cannot download the new update - Error code: 43 -- what does that mean?

Hi Arjun,
From the cc app the preferences option is greyed-out, so I'm not able to sign out and in... yes I'm aware I'm able to update from the app directly. The issue I found in the past is when I updated Lightroom from Lightroom itself, the cc app did not see it as being updated... still saw it as the earlier version. So the app said there was an update and I was trying to go into cc to perform the update instead of the app....
Would be interested in hearing more about the error 43 from Adobe...
I'm attaching two screen shots, one of the error and the second of the greyed-out preference option.
Thanks,
-Erik

I cannot download Adobe Reader app using my IPod Touch 4th Generation due to iOS upgrade.

I have an IPod Touch 4th Generation (the older model) and the highest operating system stops at iOS 6.1.6. Unfortunately, when I tried to download Adobe Reader app, it only works for the newer IPod Touch 5th Generation with an operating system of iOS 7.0 or higher. My question is that since I cannot download Adobe Reader app, is there a way for me to open PDF files on my IPod Touch by using Safari? There is no way I can find an Adobe Reader app that works for my operating system or an operating system that works for iOS 6.0 or lower. Is there another program similar to Adobe Reader where I can open PDF files that works for iOS 6.0 or lower?
Thanks.

Krispy2010,
Please note that my instructions are intended for Adobe Reader for iOS, not for all iOS apps in general.
Adobe Reader for iOS does offer earlier compatible versions for iOS 5 and 6 via the App Store. Because the supported iOS version for Adobe Reader for iOS is 5 or later.
Tech specs | Adobe Reader mobile app
However, I cannot speak for other apps, such as Costco app and NFL app that you have mentioned. It is up to each individual app developer/company to decide whether to take advantage of Apple's App Store's features to offer earlier versions.
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
If a compatible version isn't available, you can try contacting the app developer. Look for contact information on the app's product page in the App Store or Mac App Store.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

When you say that you have the same problem, do you mean that you are:
1. Not able to download Adobe Reader;
2. cannot view a PDF file;
3. or what?
Please be a little more descriptive of your particular problem or, better yet, start your own thread and clearly indicate which problem(s) you're having and what you have done, thus far, to correct the problem(s).
