Download error...Image: PhotoshopElements_10_WWEFDJ.dmj; reason: Illegal Seek

I attempted to download AdobePhotoshopElements about a week ago, but whenever I click on the download assistant it still says that it's extracting and an error message pops up saying, "The following disk couldn't be opened. Image: PhotoshopElements_10_WWEFDJ.dmj; reason: Illegal Seek." I was never able to open the trial version nor have I ever installed AdobePhotoshop Elements in the past. I have a MacBook Pro with Mac Os X version 10.6.8. Does anyone know where I went wrong during the free trial download process, and how I can resolve the problem so that I may use what's left of my 30-day trial?

If the Adobe Download Assistant says it is still Extracting then this would be why you are receiving the message about the Illegal Seek.  I would recommend canceling the download and using the default location of your User folder.
Alternately you can utilize the steps listed in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 to initiate a direct download.

  • Safari downloads gif images for no reason

    When I visit this site
    www.jsonline.com
    some gif images are automatically downloaded (called p-01-OVlaSjnOLG.gif). Every click results in a download. How do I stop this?
    Safari version 4.0.4, running on OS X 10.5.8. Lots of space on hard drive.

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    If you right or control click an image a pop up menu will appear but just clicking on an image shouldn't result in the file automatically downloading.
    Try resetting Safari and emptying the cache.
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.

    Make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.

  • While downloading Acrobat XI, download assistant leaves a folder in my downloads with an invalid .dmg file (illegal seek when you try to open it in Mac OSX 10.9)

    This "go get community help" because we won't let you email us or chat after 7-7 is the most useless, frustrating and time-wasting process I've yet found.

    Hi kmbishop,
    What is the size of the downloaded dmg file?
    It seems to me that the downloaded file might have been corrupted.
    Please try downloading Acrobat 11 Pro from the direct download link available at: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X

    Thanks

    Hi Lucy
    I just spent a few minutes on Adobe Live Chat. They provided an alternate link to download the product -- hopefully bypassing the Download Assistant which I think is the real problem. We'll see. Here's a link to them if you want to try it. I'm re-downloading it now and am hopeful.

  • "Illegal seek" message after downloading trial Premiere Pro

    Adobe installed a Premiere Pro folder on my desktop but I get an "illegal seek" message when trying to open it.  At the same time the Download Assistant appears to be stuck on extracting the files.....I've had a nice email telling me to enjoy my 30-day trial which is quickly running out because the download won't work! And of course I cannot re-download because I'm already on the system as having downloaded! Any help much appreciated:)

    Hi,
    I would suggest run the cleaner tool : http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html?promoid=GYTAU
    Make sure your user have read and write permission on the application and library folder of your hard drive.
    Then try to redownload the software and install.
    If it fails then run the disk permission from disk utility.
    Another one you can try is to create a new admin account and downlaod and install the software on it.
    Hope this helps.
