Download trial then update fails

I downloaded and installed a trial version of Acrobat. When I run it I get an error that an update is required and it will not work without the update. I have tried to download the update 3 times. It fails. I'd like to be able to use the trial before the 30 days is up.
What do I need to do?

Please let me know the exact error you get and the OS you are using.
Have you tried downloading the updates manually from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates

I'm downloading the trial of Creative Cloud, but am getting an error from downloading Illustrator. "Update Failed." I click Retry and I just get the same message

I have successfully downloaded the trial of InDesign and Photoshop, but the trial of illustrator errored. It says update failed. I have tried to hit Retry a number of times but am getting the same thing. Any advice would be appreciated.

Gw17 I would recommend reviewing the installation log file to determine why the update has failed. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log file for the update at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.

I ultimately want to update my iPhone4 to the lastest IOS and it says that I first have to update iTunes. I am stuck.

You might want to try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components first by following this guide exactly: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923, then try installing the latest version of iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

Why is Illustrator CC (2014) update failing repeatedly after downloading 100%?

I've been a member of CC for sometime 18 months and normally I have no trouble with updates.
However, this particular update to Illustrator CC fails repeatedly.
I've attempted this update and download more than 8 times.
It shows the download to be 100% complete and then "Update failed" shows up.
Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong?
I've just migrated to a newish iMac, could this be a reason?

Have you uninstalled the old versions and used the Cleaner Tool before updating to the new version?
This procedure is recommended after updating Mac OS.

Newest Photoshop CC And Bridge CC Updates Fail

My Creative Cloud app says that I have updates to Photoshop CC and Bridge CC to download, but the updates fail. I get the following error message "Unable to extract the downloaded files. Press retry to download again (U44M1I210)" When I press retry it always fails with the same error message. I tried signing out and back in but it still fails. Each time it fails the progress bar starts at 50% and fails. I am on Windows 7 64 bit and the current version of Photoshop I am running seems to be 14.2.1 and Bridge 6.0.1.6 x64. Thanks for any help!

Found the solution by looking up error messages on the forum. Have to delete the AAMUpdater file and then retry the doenload and it worked. Hope it helps someone else!

IOS8 update failed on my iPad2, now stuck in recovery mode

Hi there
I am in a bit of a pickle! This is what happened:
1.     Plugged my iPad2 into iTunes, downloaded iOS8 and it began to install;
2.     iTunes downloaded the software and began to update iPad;
3.     Device showed Apple Logo and progress bar BUT then update failed. iTunes informed me it failed, clicked OK. iPad stuck and did not recover;
4.     Did a hard reset;
5.     iPad showed Red iTunes logo and said to connect to iTunes;
6.     Connected to iTunes which stated: iPad Recovery Mode, If you are experiencing problems with your iPad, you can restore to original settings by clicking Restore iPad
7.     Clicked restore iPad - warnings about losing data etc...
8.     iTune redownloaded iOS8,
9.     After downloading iTunes went back to the iPad Recovery Mode screen,
10.   iTunes redownloaded iOS8
11.   goes into an infinite loop back to point 6 and round and round we go.....
If I leave the iPad it exits recovery mode and tries to restart - but black screen after apple logo.......
Going back into recovery mode - it does the same again.... no joy...
I'm really stuck - thankfully have a backup, but does anyone have any suggestions?????????
Thankyou!
PS - iTunes, and OS Mavericks is fully up to date...

It's not possible to revert to a previous system. You're failing and it won't work, because it's not possible.
If you want to give your operating system a fresh start, here's how to do it ... reset to factory default ...
Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!
First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.
Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.
On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.
This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.

By install i presume you mean add it to the bottom of the machine ?
Yes, and it's rather easy to do too.
Your machine has two slots. These are the specs for a 2008 iMac (if your machine is different then check with Crucial.com and they will match the correct RAM for your machine)
Maximum Memory
6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 200-pin PC2-6400 (800MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
So all you need to do is visit Crucial.com or OtherWorld Computing to order it, and OtherWorld Computing has install videos.
Here is one on YouTube. Easy pleasy.
Just make sure to discharge any static electricity and not touch the contacts, just the plastic edges.

There was a problem updating InDesign CC For more information see the specific error below. Update Failed Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(49)

Posted the entire text from the error window, when trying to update, using the normal NON-TECHIE way to update any and all Adobe CC products, via the Creative Cloud updater installed when Adobe Creative Cloud subscription was purchased when first offered.
The following occurs, ad nauseam:
There was a problem updating InDesign CC
For more information see the specific error below.
Update Failed
Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(49)
Here's the crux of my frustration:
(1) Customer Service is NOT contact-able, to receive LIVE help.
(2) There is NO way for me to mitigate this "Download error", being a student learning InDesign, and NOT in any way capable of tweaking folders/files here and there.
Therefore, the real question:
Given that a significant number of subscribers are having the above referenced issue with attempting to download the current update for InDesign, WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO, in order to get our contractually paid-for updates to our legally and contractually paid-for Adobe software, specifically in my case, InDesgin's current update?
Please, NO TECHNICAL mumbo-jumbo which most likely will cause the overwhelming majority of users, like me, to seriously corrupt their computer files, but rather an honest, straightforward "what to do" from real CS/Engineers working for Adobe, as to how to FIX this issue, period.
===========================================================
UPDATE:
Here is a way in which I think I was able to "update" my InDesign CC application:
(1) Sign-In to your Adobe Account
https://www.adobe.com/
(2) Click on the MENU icon
(3) Click on the product InDesign icon
Your browser should display the page for Adobe InDesign CC
https://www.adobe.com/products/indesign.html?promoid=KLXLU
(4) Click on the Download icon,
Your browser should now display the page to download InDesign,
https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/indesign
(5) a Pop-Up window should open, and display:
Launch Application
This link needs to be opened with an application.
with the first option to select being the CreativeCloud(URIHandler)
(5) Select this application and click OK.
What happened when I followed steps (1) thorugh (5) is that:
(a) InDesign CC(2014) was installed,
(b) InDesign CC, updated, and then
(c) InDesign CC(2014), also updated.
Why this all worked, is a mystery to me.
Looks like a separate, "new" version of InDesign, InDesign CC(2014), was installed, the existing "old" InDesign was updated, and then the newly installed Indesign CC(2014) was further updated.
A BIT MORE, when I launched my InDesign CC app, and checked to see if there were Updates Available, there in fact was an Adobe InDesign CC 64 bit (9.2.2) update.
I clicked on UPDATE and my "old" InDesign CC app was "successfully updated."
FURTHER INFO: I may have neglected to list some important info ... OS: Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center, 64-bit
Confused, I am able to launch BOTH of these apps, and hopefully I may use one of these versions of the InDesign CC app, to do some InDesign work.
Will keep y'all posted!

I'm using a late 2006 2.33GHz imac.I clean installed 10.6 from disc then updated to 10.7 from download.Now every time my computer goes into sleep it won't wake up.Anyone know how to cure this problem please??

I'm using a late 2006 2.33GHz imac.
I clean installed 10.6 from disc then updated to 10.7 from download.
Now every time my computer goes into sleep it won't wake up.
The only way it will restart is to pull the mains lead out of the imac, put it back and try until it will start.
This only happened after reinstalling. Only Apple OS was on the imac and so it must be an issue with the software I believe.....
Anyone know how to cure this problem please?
Thanks

This isn't a fix, more a workaround I used when I had wake from sleep problems that lasted from some point in 10.6.x, through 10.7 and into 10.8 (got fixed for me in 10.8.2). It seems to be connected with Bluetooth failing to wake up properly:
System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'.

Download of updates fails

I am running 10.3.7 on a G5. I am trying to download 10.3.9 combo update MacOSXUpdateCombo10.3.9.dmg (117MB). It downloads but then fails to mount. This is the fifth attempt to upgrade my system. Am I missing something?
I ran Disk Utility yesterday, and fixed any issues with permissions issues. Any thoughts?

In Safari, (Download monitor) the file download, but then stops short of expanding, leaving a "Mounting failed" message in the Downloads window.
When I double-click the downloaded file, I get an error message -199.
When I double click the file in the download window, I get the message "Safari can't open the file because it is still downloading."
Yes, I did a Get Info on the file, and it is linked to DiskImageMounter.
I am very puzzled.

My vreative cloud downloaded and so did PS but now its saying there is an error...update failed and im retrying it but its not working what do i do?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Storeand turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.
