Captivate 7 for Mac trouble installing patch

Was having some issues getting Captivate 7 to recognize Microsoft PowerPoint and Word. Took the advice I saw in another Adobe forum question and re-installed Captivate 7. Of course Captivate 7 won't work on my Mac without the 7-0-1 patch, but when I try to install the patch I get a popup message saying that the Administrator has suppressed updates to my computer. Since I am the Administrator, and I didn't suppress any such thing, I suspect this issue is due to my recent installation/upgrade to Creative Cloud for all my other Adobe apps.
Anyone got any work-arounds for this?

Hi Lydia,
Welcome to Adobe Forums !
Please go to <Startup Disk>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat
Then copy and paste AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat on your desktop .
Open AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat and change the value under suppressed tag to "0".
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <Preferences>
    <Suppressed>1</Suppressed>
    </Preferences>
Now save the file and replace it with the existing file in <Startup Disk>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0 .
Now run the update patch again and see if it resolves your issue or not .
Thanks

Bad timing. Reapply the security update:

What happened is that version 1.0 of the security update was available for a bit of time this weekend, and that disabled Rosetta. Version 1.1 brought it back.

No, uninstalling is not required.

Captivate 5 for Mac - keyboard commands not working

I just fired up Captivate 5 for Mac for the first time and am trying to create a recording, but the command+enter key does not stop the recording and instead captures a screenshot. In fact, every command combination I try does that and the only way to stop the recording is to click on the icon in the status bar at the top. What am I doing wrong? I have searched through the forum and help and don't see anyone else having this problem.

If you're talking about keystroke shortcuts in published browser output, the issue is not Adobe's fault but the fact that browsers get first pick of the keystrokes and assign them to their own browser functions.
There is no way to control what the browser will or will not let through from within the Captivate content. Each end user's browser can have different settings.
My advice is to stop stressing about using keystrokes. There are some things that you can achieve when building an application that cannot be replicated exactly when building a browser-based simulation of that same application.

What is your Acrobat XI version? If less than 11.0.09 I would suggest that you update, then try again. Download updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh
Note that you posted in the forum for Acrobat.com online services; you may get better help if you ask in the Acrobat forum.

Captivate 6 for Mac too buggy for use (screen corruption, mouse/audio instability)

Corrupt Screens. The main problem is corrupt screens (visually jumbled, with elements of previous screens). The corrupt screens appear in both Preview in a Web Browser and in a published project. I've observed the problem when I capture website interactions (using either Safari or Firefox). It might be isolated to web browsers and not other applications, but I'm not sure. The project slides themselves look fine. The problem occurs during the transition to an HTML/SWF-based preview or published file.
Unfortunately the problem appears to be intermittent and unpredictable: one Preview (in Web Browser) might show one corrupt screen; a subsequent Preview (in Web Browser) might show four corrupt screens (after making no changes to the Captivate file). It appears to be related to various timeline factors (mouse position, mouse duration). I was able to temporarily eliminate the problem in one project file by making sure all mouse elements had a 2/10th second gap before the end of the slide and were no longer than 2 seconds long. But in a later test, controlling for these variables did not work.
There are two other related bugs that occur in Preview or publish:
Mouse. If I move the mouse object from its original position on the timeline, say, from the end of the slide to a position just before, and then move it back to the end of the slide, the result is faulty mouse behavior. It moves very slowly over the first part of its arc, then either skips suddenly to the destination or doesn't complete the arc at all when the slide advances to the next slide.
Audio. Sometimes the audio for a single slide will not play. This is intermittent and unpredictable, like the screen corruption bug. The problem sometimes goes away after moving the mouse on the timeline slightly, but this isn't reliable.
In any case, moving the mouse away from the end of the slide is not a desirable workaround, even when it does work. The delay between the "click" and the slide transition looks sloppy, and is contrary to the expected mouse behavior (to quickly trigger a slide transition).
I have been working with two people at Adobe tech support, but we have not found a solution or isolated the problem. I've also documented several keystroke bugs on this forum. So, after nearly 3 weeks of aggravation, I have concluded that Captivate 6 for Mac has serious bugs and is not reliable. I am forced to go back to Captivate 5.5.

I have experienced the exact same issues. I've republished files over and over again with unpredictable results. Missing audio, ghost backgrounds, visual artifacts. That doesn't even begin to address the other major annoyances like the stage jumping around when you do things like adjust element properties, audio editor opening up half off the screen so that it has to be manually dragged back EACH TIME.
I'm totally frustrated and disgusted with the quality of this product. I don't care one bit about all the new features it has, I just want the featues that are there to work right and work reliably. Today alone, I lost over 4 hours of productivity to resolving buggy software issues... I'm not exaggerating, 4 HOURS !. This is absolutely unacceptable. The software does NOT work well at all. Adobe should be horrified with how bad this software performs. I can't say enough negative things about this without using expletives that are well deserved.
After purchssing adobe software for 25 years, I am running out of patience. They are too big and too focused on new features instead of just making the ones they have work well. I used to love Adobe more than any other software company. That is definitely no longer the case. I have no intention of up doing any more upgrades after this. If these APPALLING blatant issues are not resolved before they release version 7, I will not upgrade and may well consider enlisting others in a class action suit. Fire all the developers who have a hand in this. Fire all the managers who signed off on it's readiness. Go back to the drawing board and make this right.
I fully intend on posting this in every forum I can find. This software has cost me too much time and money.

Download adobe captivate 8 for mac - please give me a link!

Hi
For almost an hour I am now desperately searching a downloadable version of Adobe Captivae 8 for my Mac.
I purchased a license some time ago (trough my company, this is why it is not connected with my Adobe ID) but after the upgrade of my Mac on Yosemite Adobe Captivate 8 did no longer run. So I had to delete Captivate and now I am desperately trying to download the Software.
Why do you make this so impossible?
Don't you think that people have to re-install their legally purchased software sometimes?
I would like to tell you a bit about my hopeless journey on your website.
First I came to the website and it was automatically set in French, don't ask me why but there was probably a cookie that was sure I am speaking French - which is not the case.
When I finally was able to change to English, I started looking for a download Link. But guess what: there was none. Only a Upgrade Download Link, that didn't work.
Then I had the idea that I could download a trial version of Captivate and enter my serial number afterwards.
So I had first to log-in into this Adobe ID Account - and of course, I didn't remember the password since I am rarely using your service.
So I tried to reset my password but I never got an e-mail from Adobe. So I hat to think very hard about this password and after some tries I find it out.
Finally I logged into my Adobe ID - and it was again - guess what - French. So I spend another 5 Minutes to try to figure out how to change the language.
Then I finally got the following message: You have already installed a trial of Adobe Captivate on your Mac (YES) please enter a valid serial number to continue to use Adobe Captivate Pro (I would love, but dear, I don't have the trial version installed anymore. I had to delete the software on my Mac). So still no software for me :-(
So what?
Would you please be so kind and send me a link to download Adobe Captivate Pro 8 for Mac?
Thank you very much!

LR 4 for Mac not installing on external hard drive

I have a Mac LR2 installed in a external drive. I just upgraded to LR4 and want to install it in the same external drive and upgrade LR2, but it would allow me to install in the MacBook HD. If I install in the Mac HD would it create an issue with LR2?
Thanks

You don't have to do anything to the drive to make it Bootable. Other then installing OS X on it.
Boot your system from the Online Internet Recovery system, Hold down the Command+Option+r keys until you see a spinning globe in the center of the screen. It is best to have the system Wired to your Internet Router for this. Have the External drive connected to the system before you start it up
Once the system starts from over the internet use Disk Utiltiy to Partition the drive as One partition with a format of Mac Extended (Journaled).
Then once that is done exit DU and select Reinstall Mac OS X. Either Lion or Mt Lion will be downloaded from the internet, whichever originally came on your Mac, and when the download is finished the install willl start.
Oh and yes you need to point the install to the External drive. You do that before the download starts. Just follow the on screen instructions.

Photoshop Elements 10 for Mac not installing from DVD

DVD or downloaded "trial" version of PSE 11 will not install on Mac running OS Lion (10.7.5). Reparied Disk Permissions and still doesn't instal.
When DVD gets installed, folders appear, click on Photoshop Elements, double click install.app, install runs then back to Finder screen. Only installs a folder called "Adobe" under User > Applications. Nothing inside folder to indicated software is installed. Nothing gets installed in the generall Applications folder. HELP!

I figured the PSE 10 serial # would not work. I'd be happy with just getting 10 to work. This laptop was just put into use and I did a transfer from my old laptop so there may be files on this new one that I need to delete. I've tried using an Adobe Uninstaller and it finds nothing to uninstall. I did notice Photoshop Elelements Organizer is on here and working but not the Editor which is really what I use and need.
Is there something I can download from Adobe to "clean" any files interferring with my new install? Do I need to uninstall the Organizer as well?
BTW, thanks for helping me. I really appreciate it!

Having trouble installing patches on 280R

I have a 280R with a 2GB fibre channel controller that is hooked up to a 3510 Jbod unit w/ 5drives. I am trying to install the required patches and packages for this card, since I'm running Solaris 9. When I try to install the patches the system tells me it doesn't recognize it or it doesn't see it. Is there a special way to install this software for this card??? I've got the manual for the 2GB card and I'm doing it by the book to no avail......

Hey robr72339266,
With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.
Regards,
Anubha

How to purchase Numbers for mac and install

Switched to Mac - Trouble installing HP Officejet 7410

I'm switching from Windows to Mac after a disaster while upgrading to Vista (another story). Mac mini is up and running fine. I've been very pleased with my HP Officejet 7410 since late 2004. However, installation with the Mac has been a challenge.
Using the original Mac disc provided with the 7410 at purchase, install runs ok - but when connected via USB, the 7410 is never recognized. When connected via wireless, the "fax" version installs (don't know if it works), but the printer version does not install automatically. When I manually add the printer, I get to the point of selecting the driver, but the 7410 is not included and I have to selected another printer with Gutenprint driver. Prints ok, but no scan / copy.
Checking via Mac support (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1370), the 7410 is listed as one of the printers included in the Mac OS X 10.5.2 software pack, using an HP 4.0.1 driver - but it is not listed in the "select" printer options on my machine.
I've downloaded the latest Mac driver pack from HP, and run through that process, but still with the same results.
Any idea where I can get just the driver and where I need to "park it" on my Mac hard drive so that is is recognized as an available driver that I can select?

Greg - Well I tried the "reset" suggestion after running the new, downloaded driver from HP - and same results. When I go to add the new printer, the system does not automatically find the correct driver. I'm offered "Select a driver" and the HP 7410 does not show up in the list - and mainly Gutenprint drivers are listed - no HP drivers.
My HP Photosmart 475 printer installs just fine.
It still seems to be how to get the HP driver in my "available" list.

I don't have a publish to youtube Captivate 5 for Mac

I need to publish a captivate video to youtube. I saw an article on adobe's site that states there should be a youtube option. I also states it applies to Adobe 5 and 5.5. Is there a patch or update that I need to apply to enable the youtube publishing feature in Captivate 5?
Thank you,

There's a YouTube button in 5.5 but not in 5. I think you should report the documentation issue to Adobe. I've found a few things on their doco that seem to indicate features apply to both versions when in fact its only 5.5 that has them. They need to annotate the doco a bit better.

Can you launch iTunes from the Applications folder?
If it won't launch from the Applicaitons folder, run Disk Utility to rule out any problems with the startup disk.
Launch Disk Utility /Applications/Utilities
Select the startup disk in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
