Download Assistant not allowing install into Applications Folder

I've got a brand new MacBook Pro 13", running OS 10.8.3.
From the Adobe website I click to download Acrobat XI. It downloads and launches the Assistant. According to the web page it will automatically launch the Acrobat install. Here's what happens for me...
It starts on the Assistant home page, and requires a login. Once logged in, I must find the Acrobat product to click a download link. It opens the Save To dialog, but pointing the the User home folder, not Applications. When I change the destination to the Applications folder, I get this warning (see image)
Please let me know if someone has a suggestion for getting the Assistant to allow an install to the Applications folder. I have never had this problem with a Mac, or an Adobe product.
Thanks,
Bruce

Hi Anabirch,
Please Check the permisson on application folder.
Select folder > Get Info. In the Get Info window, if the Sharing & Permissions pane is not visible, click the disclosure triangle to show it.
If required, click the lock icon, and enter a name and password. If you are the owner of an item you will need to authenticate by entering an administrator name and password to change the owner or the “Apply to enclosed” option.
Let me know if it works.
Regards,
Ashish

App Store Apps downloaded but not showing up in Applications folder

I purchased some apps from the App Store while logged into a Parental Controlled user account. The apps are not showing up in the limited Application folder in the doc. I logged out an logged back into the Admin folder and made sure the new apps were selected in the available parental controlled apps. Then I logged back into the restricted user account and the apps are not there. As well, the game center downloaded apps are not showing up. Not sure how that "game Center' is supposed to work. You would figure when you download an app it would be available right away, no?

When you have "Use Simple Finder" and "Limit Applications" selected, you do not have an Applications folder. The Apps Are Selected in the parental Control panel under "Apps" > Allowed Apps> App Store.
They should show up somewhere. I would assume in the Apps folder.

I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder. This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher". I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.

I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder. This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher". I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.
I even pulled the dmg file into the Logic Studio folder in my applications directory and it still does not recognize it. What do I do now?

Niel: Thanks.
For others benefit, here is what happened.
I had installed Logic Studio 9.1 some time ago.......not knowing what all the programs were nor what they did, I created a "Logic Studio" subfolder in my applications folder and put all Logic Studio programs into it so I'd know where they were and could review each at my leisure over time.
My assumption now is that when the updater looks for the Logic Pro program, it looks only in the applications folder. It seems lame that it would not also look in the subfolders of the applications folder, but that apparently IS the way it works. Because my Logic Pro program was located in the "Logic Studio" subfolder, the updater just didn't see it..hence the error message I received when I tried to update.
Solution: I moved all the Logic Studio programs out of the subfolder and now they reside in the applications folder. Ran the 9.1.5 updater and it worked like a charm.

Firefox won't install on my Mac, it just finishes the installation then does not appear in my Applications folder.

Firefox offered to create a new profile for me, but took forever to do so so eventually I had to shut off the computer. In restarting, initially Firefox would not open as "Profile could not be found". Having moved Firefox to my trash folder, when I attempt to install Firefox again, it completes the download, then does not appear in my Applications folder.

This is likely caused by a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 in this file is not present on the hard drive.
*Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
You can use one of these to make Firefox create/use a new default profile:
*Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
*Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
*Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

Why has my iPad downloaded over 7000 spam messages into a folder called gmail/all mail? I have not set up a gmail account on my iPad

Why has my iPad downloaded over 7000 spam messages into a folder called gmail/all mail? I have not set up a gmail account on my iPad

No you will not have to set up the iPad all over again. Resetting the iPad is like rebooting your computer. You will lose no apps, data, settings .... Nothing at all. I like to use the expression that it's like "clearing out the cobwebs" on the iPad's memory.
The reason I am suggesting this is that there are some other sort of bizarre issues that occur in the mail app and the reset seems to clear up those issues. So I think it is worth a try.
On the other hand, if you have restored the iPad to factory settings, I don't know that it will help. If nothing else works, try going to your web mail using a browser and see if you can't deal with this in there.

Adobe CC 2014 Applications do not show in my Applications Folder.

Hello all,
Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.3
I have recently installed all 2014 versions of my creative cloud software which all worked fine.
The odd thing is that they do not appear in my Applications Folder when viewing from a Finder window. They all show in LaunchPad and also when I do a 'Reveal in Finder' search from the Dock icon when the application is launched.
See screenshots attached;
01 - Applications Folder from Finder
02 - 'Reveal in Finder' from the open application dock item
The two folders show are the same path (Macintosh HD / Applications).
As you can see the 'Adobe' Folder is common to both but the CC applications no longer show in screenshot 01.
This is not a show-stopper by any means but I curious to understand why this has happened after upgrading to CC 2014
Any ideas?

An eligible Logic Pro version was not found in the Applications folder. This update requires Logic Pro version 9.0 or higher.

Get this error when trying to install Logic patch 9.1.4 to my machine.
An eligible Logic Pro version was not found in the Applications folder. This update requires Logic Pro version 9.0 or higher.

Thx, but i had already read that and tried it: did not work.
Got it fixed now by reinstalling Logic Studio 9 from DVD.
That indeed creates the Logic Pro folder in Applications - something I had tried earlier by simply moving my existing Logic folder. This means the Logic 9.1.5 update does not simply check a folder name: there must be another entry/registry entry it checks. Reinstalling Logic Studio from scratch solved it for me.
After reinstalling thought Lion forgot my Focusrite Saffire 40, so no DAW. Solved that by reading a forum entry on beta drivers.
So I am happy, music creation wise.
Left for me is to solve the X Mail application saying it does not run under Lion!

This is the procedure for updating iOS, which can be done on the device, or through iTunes.

There should not be a step where you download the update separately.
If you are referring the downloading as an automatic part of the overall process, can you explain the failure in more detail?

I've got automatic downloads turned off and I tried signing out and in via the settings and still keeps asking me for an apple id.
It doesn't do it continuously, it'll just pop up randomly ... if the phone is just sitting there it may ask for my apple id and regardless of whether I press cancel or enter my password nothing happens .. it may be another 2mins, 5mins, 15mins but eventually it'll just randomly pop up and ask me again. It does accept my password though because I tried entering an incorrect password to see what happens and it gives me the error saying it's incorrect, so when I enter the correct one in the box disappears and it accepts it as I say, but only for so long before it pops up again.

Software downloads mount drive but do not show icons to drag into applications folder

I downloaded Flash this weekend and Logos 5 today. Both downloaded and the drives mounted, but the drives did not show the software package to be dragged into my application folder. In the case of Flash, the folder header was there, but the space below, where the Flash app was supposed to be was blank. In the case of Logos, when I opened the drive, the only thing visible was the arrow between the app and the shortcut to the applications folder. There was nothing to grab and drag either. Any ideas for me?

3rd party software uses all kinds of different ways to get installed.
Some provide installers you double click on inside the mounted .dmg. And to keep things interesting, different vendors use different installer utilities
Some include an Alias pointing at the Applications folder.
Some just give you the App and you figure out what to do with it (if you are lucky, these sometimes include a README file that tells you want you should do).
This is life outside the Mac App Store.

Installed update of Firefox, but cannot drag into applications folder, it indicates that "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges", so how can I complete the install?

I try to drag the app into the applications folder where an old app of firefox exists and it asks me if I want to replace it and after i say yes it gives me the operation cannot be completed message.

Adobe Download Assistant not installing

I'm trying to download the CS6 trials on a MacbookPro running Mountain Lion; however on opening the AdobeDownloadAssistant.dmg it will load, then give me an error message with the following:
"Sorry, an error has occurred.
The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author."
When I try to download the apps straight from the cloud toolbar, it tries to take me to a link, which doesn't lead anywhere. Eg, when trying to "try" Photoshop Extended, in Safari it will take me to:
aam://SAPCode=PHSP?passPhrase=ZGpLQ9U9dEgsq0r0f87dOTP/mGZPUOBjl9FpXKYTZ8ks/NB3Hninigi9kaTk QA3hMECy0lp+rOvaKTUi1emimiupaCWVu5Zjpb/WHOInRL5xPqDwPwwOP35FC5kr1z5VkI4H4dAiT4OhyosSgc2nns 78ZkT5ZsriXPR0ryqFe90=
Any ideas? Very frustrating, I'm keen on trying these out while I have time at the moment... have wasted a good part of the day so far trying to get it sorted. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi All,
yesterday evening I tried to download the CS6 trial as well, and had the same problems. Here is how I solved it:
1.) After clicking on "Download" I have copied the Adobe Download Manager.dmg to the desktop
2.) Install download manager, and click OK when the "Sorry, ... " error message appears.
3.) Go to the Adobe Download Manager file (see below), right click, and click on "Show package contents"
3.) After clicking "Show Package Contents" go to: Contents/Resources/Adobe Download Assistant/Contents/MAC OS/ and click on Adobe download assisstant
(Do not try the Contents/Mac OS/install adobe download manager because you will have the same error message. Go to the folder as described above)
4.) after clicking "Adobe download assisstant" you should be able to log in and download the desired software
I hope I could help, it worked for me
(MBP+Lion)

I've been a Firefox user for years but I can't complete new Firefox download. The actual download goes well, but then I'm told to move Firefox icon into applications folder when prompted, but I don't get prompted.

I've been a Firefox user for years, but now you offer me a new version and I can't complete the installation process. The initial download goes well but then I'm instructed to move the icon into my applications folder when prompted and I don't get prompted. Nothing whatever happens. What am I doing wrong?

We are not around here 24 hours, so you may need to wait for a response.
The DMG (disk image) file is the Firefox installation file that you can download from the Mozilla site and save to your desktop. You can double click that file to open the image.
From [[Installing Firefox on Mac]]:
* Once the download has completed, the disk image may open by itself and mount a new volume which contains the Firefox application. If you do not see the new volume, double-click the Firefox dmg icon to open it.
* A Finder window appears, containing the Firefox application. Drag the Firefox Icon into the Applications folder.
