CS5 Installation and Update issues

I am trying to re-install Photoshop CS5 onto my Win 7 Ultimate System. I know from previously installing it several years ago that there was an issue with installing it with Adobe Raeder on a system. Something to do with folder location issues. I have tried re-installing CS5 and it does install (apparently Reader issue solved(?)). Both 32bit and 64bit seem to install ok. I can open Photoshop and access the program.
Problem: When I try to do updates for the software, that are available, they download and then hang on install. The Adobe installer stops responding and nothing installs.
Could someone pleas assist me with this issue.
Thank You
System Information:
Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit, Service pack 1 and updates installed.
8 Gigs of system memory
1 Terabyte main drive - Photoshop location.
75 GB partion on seperate drive for Photoshop Cahe.
Nvidia GTX460 with 1GB memory
332.21 Nvidia WHQL driver

TS3694 Installation and Updation error again and again!!

I tried to update my ipad3 to iOS7, its failed and showed an "installation and updation error", then i had to go to the service center to get it fixed. Now, again as i try to update it to 7.0.2 its stuck on the installation screen n showing the same error. Is there any way i can get it fixed at home? And why is it happening for the second time?

found that if bonjour (mdns) is unloaded.. i get this error.
This is poor implementation on apples part.
to re-enable
run in terminal

CS5 Full Version Update Issue

Originally, my CS5 was an update from CS4. When this CS5 was installed as an "update", it appeared to install properly. However, further updates to this install returned "error in downloading update", with a indication that "This serial number is not for a qualifying product." Adobe's solution was to issue me a "full version" serial number. CS5 s/n was deactivated, CS5 was uninstalled, PC was rebooted and the new "full version" was installed. Further updates still returned "serial number not for a qualifying product." Solution???

GARFERS,
Yes, I told you that they sent you here because they perceived your questions to be a technical question about an unsupported version. You need to present it as an installation issue, not a technical one.
Only CS6 and higher are still supported. You are three or four versions behind in the eyes of Adobe, and they only support technical issues in versions that are currently being sold. Yours is not a technical issue, but an installation issue.
The forums are precisely for technical issues in older versions. We are not here to teach Photoshop step by step as you insinuate. But we have now established yours is not a technical issue. We cannot help with Customer Service issues at all, as opposed to Adobe Tech Support issues.
Your screen shot DOES NOT show the destination I would be taken to if I follow ALL THE STEPS in my post.
This is where I just landed:
If this link doesn't work any longer, then Adobe has changed it and there's nothing I can do about it. Sorry.

CS5 Help and Updates malfuncitoning

Photoshop CS5 is giving me gyp with its Help and Updates components:
- If I go to Help=>Updates, it launches Adobe Application Manager and it tells me all my products are up to date. So far so good, but when I go to the Preferences, there are NO Adobe products displayed in its list of updates!
- If I go to Help=>Photoshop Help (or press F1), I get an error message saying "There was an error initializing the Adobe Help application. You may need to reinstall the application and the Help component." Well, I tried downloading the Adobe Help installer package and reinstalling, but I still get the same error message. I can still launch Adobe Community Help from Windows Explorer, but it does me little good because it just says "No Adobe products are currently installed", same as with Updates.
I don't know why neither the Help or Updates components are detecting Photoshop, but how do I fix this?

hey
the only resolve is: uninstal cs5 then install it again. trust me. proofed.
its legal product right?

Flash Player installation and update questions and answers

How do I verify that I have the latest version of Flash Player?
If you receive a message that tells you that Flash Player is out of date or a new version of Flash Player is available, you can verify this by visiting the Flash Player Help page with your browser.
Simply click the "Check Now" button and you'll be presented with a short message and detailed information regarding your Flash Player installation.
Where should I download the latest version of Flash Player?
Because malware authors will often employ misleading tactics to make malware look like something you should trust, it's important to get your Flash Player updates directly from Adobe.
Please verify that your Flash Player downloads and updates come from only the adobe.com or macromedia.com domains. You can always download the latest version of Flash Player directly from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
I've selected the automatic update option in Flash Player, why do I continue to get update notifications?
Periodically, users are presented with the Flash Player update dialog notifying them that a new version of Flash Player is available for download from adobe.com.
The automatic update mechanism is used for some updates, security patches that address zero-day vulnerabilities and when users, who have selected to be updated automatically, have not updated within 45 days after a regularly scheduled update release of Flash Player.
What should I expect when I receive notification that Flash Player has an update available?
When a major update to Flash Player becomes available you will be presented with a Flash Player update dialog
After reviewing new features, pressing the Download button will open your default browser and load the Install Adobe Flash Player page.
Clicking the "Update now" or "Install Now" button will then take you to the next page which will start the download process and give instructions for completing the Flash Player install.
Finally, once the installation is complete your browser will display a page confirming a successful installation.
If you encounter installation problems, we recommend you review our Windows and Mac OS installation help documents. Further questions and information can be found on the Flash Player installation forums.
Why does Adobe Flash Player installer include the option to download additional software?
Adobe offsets the ongoing development costs of Flash Player, which is made available for free, by offering users the option to download select software from Adobe partners.
What options do I have when installing or updating Flash Player?
You have a few different options available when updating Flash Player. We recommend that you choose "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" when initially setting up Flash Player
or by going into the Flash Player control panel and choosing this option in the Advanced tab.
Once selected, most updates will occur in the background without requiring any interaction. For those regularly scheduled major update releases, you will be presented with an update notification dialog
If you decide not to update, you will receive an automatic update within 45 days if you have the "Allow Adobe to install updates" option selected. Please note that when this update occurs, only Flash Player will be installed.
If you want to be notified about every Flash Player update, select "Notify me to install updates" when initially installing Flash Player or from the Advanced tab in the Flash Player control panel.
Finally, if you'd prefer not to receive any updates, select "Never check for updates (not recommended)". We do not recommend this option as we believe keeping your system up to date improves both security and stability when using Flash Player.
For network Administrators we offer additional update options, including the ability to host your own internal Flash Player update server. Please see our Flash Player distribution page and Flash Player Administrator guide for details.

Sunil, I just want to verify you are pointing me to the link under "Progress bar hangs during download / Unable to connect to server / Unable to download metafile."
If yes, then that is the file I originally downloaded based on a March post I saw here.
I just tried it again, and it (by "it" I mean the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers from download.macromedia.com) installed 11.6.
After the installation process completed, the dialog box notified me it was version 11.6, and when I went back to, the "find version" page, 11.6 was confirmed.
I did not download the exe for Internet Explorer, as I almost never use that browser.

Ibook author loading, save, open and update issue

When we create the ibook author file with 30 pages the systme gets too slow, since it took cache file within the recovery folder. Also when it take more time while save, open and update process. Curent file size is 169 MB (Minimac 10.7 with 2GB RAM and ibook author version is 1.1)
Can you any one investigate this issue and help me how to remove this cache file and make the ibook author file is fast?

I'd suggest to upgrade the ram in your mini to the maximum - low cost and the best thing you can do to improve performance for all apps.
The cache file's purpose is to make things faster....but if a book is corrupted there may be issues using it for editing. You may need to remove resources and re-add to fix - that or make a new book from start.
See this Apple Tech Note:
Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books [ support.apple.com/kb/HT5117 ]
Good luck.

How do you get iMovie '08 to load properly after installation and updates?

I loaded iMovie '08 and updated and at first it was smooth. Then, I tried to follow instructions on how to send a (copy or duplicate) of a project to my external hardrive. When I tried to pull the "original" up on my iMac; it would only pull up temporarily. Once it started loading the "thumbnails"--then it would simply say that iMovie had encountered a problem ad ask me to either; REPORT, RETRY or CLOSE (the project). For the few moments it was loading up--I could see my video footage--but then it would flash to the "REPORT", RETRY or CLOSE" screen. HELP!

.. I'm not sure what you are referring to in terms of the "Finder" level operation?
if you want to delete events or projects, you have to do that in the app iM08 itself; if you erase any files in 'Finder' (when no app is running, MacOs shows you the 'Finder', read the manual.....) for sure iM will complain and show a weird behavior..
... Now, EVERY TIME I "trash" the iMOVIE'08--and "re-install it--and follow with the "update"--it does the same thing.
re-installing an app is a habitual behavior on inferior systems ... as we like to say here ..
for sure, a reinstall of the app doesn't fix your Events and Projects Folders.. if you mis-manage any content by doing so on Finder level, the app will keep 'complaining'..
sorry, no fix from here (=I'm afraid, you totally misconfigured the file management 'manually'), if you try to be smarter than the guys at Cupertino, you HAVE to be smarter than them..

Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection Installation and support Issue

My windows 7 operating system became corrupted and I needed to do a fresh installation of both the operating system and the the creative suite.
After installing both the operating system and the creative suite I received an error saying that the program has not installed correctly and to contact support.
I contacted support and I was told support wouldn't help me correct the problem and to ask the forum on how to fix this issue.
Any help on how to resolve this issue would be great!

How can I still use CS5.5 and update MBP to Yosemite?

I want to update my MBP OS X to Yosemite, I did this on my Mac Desktop and my CS5.5 wouldn't run. I can't afford to not have CS on my MBP. Any help would be appreciated. I have tried to navigate through the customer support and forums, and I am sure that there will be something pertaining to this already asked, Though I can't find it for the life of me. I would like to update to CS6, However this may be cost prohibitive for me. Furthermore, I am not really interested in the very high cost subscription rates of Creative Cloud.
Kindest Regards Gerard

CS5 / ACR 6 Update Issue / ACR 7 D800 Support

I have been running the CS6 beta for a while now. I believe it may be causing and issue on the Mac when installed along side CS5. There are updates available based on my search for ACR6 as compared to my current version but Appliation manager indicates that CS5/ACR6 has no updates available. I noticed this when I received my D800 a few days ago. So...
1) There is a version of ACR 6 that supports the D800
2) Application Manager thinks that everthing is up to date.
3) ACR 7 does not seem to support the D800
What gives?

Here is an explanation of the camera support in each version:

C6-00 Installations and Updates don't work at all

Hi all,
I've got obvious issue as described in many threads here - I'm not able to install new apps or update installed apps either directly or through Ovi Suite. My firmware is v40.0.021.
When I try to update apps through Ovi Suite, it fails after download with a message that something went wrong. Even though I tried to re-install both Ovi Suite and phone firmware, the problem remains unresolved.
I tried also to use Ovi Store and install new apps/themes, the installation fails everytime.
As posted in other threads I also tried to reset phone to factory settings - this didn't help.
Could anybody of you help me resolve this annoying issue? Is it caused but buggy FW v40.0.021? What should I do to fix this issue?
Thanks,
Jan
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi all,
I finally resolved the issue. It was quite complicated but it worked...
1. Backup of the phone through Ovi Suite
2. Switch-off the phone
3. Press "Left Shift + Space + Back Space + Red button" and wait until Nokia logo appears
4. Release buttons and let it boot up
5. Update apps as you wish
6. Restore config from backup
7. Enjoy as me if everything passed
Hopefully it helps.

Bold Sync and Update Issues With DTM For Mac

First problem: I cannot update software on my Bold. Once I click on "Start Update", the process starts, but stops at "Downloading 5... Files". It then stops, and a dialog box with the following message pops up
<Blackberry Desktop Manager could not download the required files. There may be a problem with your network connection or the server is not responding. Please try again later> This is followed by:
< Blackberry Desktop Manager failed to update your Blackberry device>
Second problem: Syncing will not work as well. Upon syncing Calendar (iCal), I get the error message <A sync error has occured. Please retry the sync.>
Phone Data
Make: Bold 9000
Software: 4.6.0
Mac
Make: White Macbook 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
OS: 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard)
DTM was latest version (1.0) of DTM for Mac
I had PocketMac, Missing sync and the Beta of DTM for Mac installed. I have tried removing ALL components of these 3 apps, from all libraries and restarted my Mac ~6-7 times, but to no avail. It's getting very frustrating. Can anyone help?
PS I wish RIM would dedicate more resources to making it work between our Macs and our Berries. It's like having a pet that can't get along with your wife, one's gotta go!

Update: I've managed to get around the sync problems, have synced add book and iCal. Haven't tried notes and tasks, am hopeful it will work. However, updates still don't work! It goes to download 600+ files, and then the same error message still appears. Can anyone help? Hopefully someone from RIM!
As well, when un-installing BDTM-Mac, does anyone else get the same problem of getting a dialog box that says that uninstall was unsuccessful and that certain components could not be deleted?
As a sidenote, just to give your (emilianne) idea a shot, I re-installed missing sync and pocket mac, then used app zapper. Seems like I'm more thorough than the app. =\ Now I still get that dialog box from BDTM-Mac installer that says prior versions of syncing software were found. Geez. Previously when I did a manual wipe, didn't have that problem. Oh well... not a BB issue so not important.

Premiere Pro CS5 Playback and Performance Issues

I upgraded (2) separate editing work stations to CS5 from CS4 about a month ago. I moved from 4 to 5 to try and get rid of some problems which both work stations were encountering.
The problems since the upgrade are similiar: playback from timeline has intermittent audio drop out and video going to black during playback, (new one)-video locked up but audio kept playing-system hung and had to be rebooted.
Also, when clicking around on the timeline or scrubbing the timeline, Premiere crashes.
This type of performance on playout or timeline usage is consistent on both machines which have indentical setups and builds. None of this happens all the time but happens enough to causes problems with workflow. We edit on the work stations, dub files to playback system for air, and use a shared server to move files back and forth as needed but files are always stored locally instead of using straight from server.
These machines are:
Premiere Pro CS5.02
OS WIndows 7 Pro 64 bit
12 GB Ram, DDR3-1333 (6-2GB modules)
CPU Intel Xeon Quad Core [email protected] GHZ, 2 processors, 8 MB Cache
500 GB SATA 2 hard drive, 7200 RPM, 32 MC (System Drive)...309 GB of space avail
(3) 1 TB SATA 2 hard drives, 7200RPM, 32 MC (3 TB, RAID0 STorage) 2.16 TB of space avail
Nvidia GE Force 9800 GT Graphics card, DUAL DVI, 1 GB
REaltek High Def Audio, Drivers 6.0.1.5953
(1) monitor in use
output of system runs to ADVC-700 breakout box to feed playback system
I have all of my software installed on C: (309 GB of 500 GB avail)
I have all of my videos files stored on D: (Raid Storage with 2.16 TB of 3 TB avail)
The only changes I've made since installing CS5 would be to change the auto save from 20 minutes to 60 minutes. Don't know if an auto save would cause an issue on playback as I've noted above.
I'm not a computer whiz by any stretch of the imagination but I can follow directions if given for testing/eval.

Do the PPBM5 Benchmark and send the results to me by PM, in addition to sending the results to Bill as indicated. I'll have a look at what might be going on here.

Installation and Other Issues

I recently upgraded from Crystal 11.5 to Crystal 2008. Since then I have been battling a host of problems trying to make this work. This is the latest.
I had a problem running some older reports in a web application. I was getting the Login Failed error, which can mean about anything. So I was going to upgrade the report definition to the new Crystal 2008 format. Since I installed Crystal 2008, I have been having an issue with the report designer. The disoplay would not refresh the background. Whatever was on the screen when you opened the designer was in teh background and if you opened a dialog while in the designer, it remained on the screen even though the function completed successfully. This confusing display made the designer impossible to work with.
So I decided to reinstall Crystal 2008 to see if there was something wrong in the setup. I opend control panel and uninstalled all the crystal 2008 components, which included Crystal 2008 SP2, Crystal 2008 SP3 and one other component. All the uninstalls ran successfully. I still have Crystal Reports XI release 2 installed.
I tried to run the install for Crystal. The install runs fine until it comes to the section to register the dll's. Then it fails. Below is the first message that I get. After that I get the same message for every module to be registered.
Error 1904. Module C: u2018program Files\BusinessObjects\BusinessQbjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\ReportConvTool .dll failed to register.
HRESULT -2147024770. Contact your support personnel.
I have every version of the .Net framework on this machine and they are all up to the most current level. I have Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 on this machine as well. I am an administrator, and I do not have permission issues.
I am getting very weary of dealing with Crystal Reports technical problems. Nothing should be this difficult to make it work out of the box. Can someone help me.

Hello,
PLEASE don't post the same question in multiple forums.
Install SP3 and test again and then search this for forum as well as Microsoft's site for the 1904 error. It's an MSIExec error code. Typically it's missing Windows dependencies or your PC needs to upgrade the MS Installer program.
Usually when dll's fail to register is because the OS is missing windows dependencies and likely the C++ runtime package.
Thank you
Don
