Error trying to install update to Adobe Cloud desktop on OS X Lion

I keep getting an error when installing a recent update to the Adobe Cloud desktop - A21 something or other. I tried renaming a file and trying again, but that didn't work either. I'm not that comfortable troubleshooting my Mac as I've only recently migrated from Windows to using Mac. Please help. If I don't quit the Adobe Cloud thing on start-up, it eats up battery power due to this update not being able to install. I have a single-app subscription to Photoshop CS7, which stops working when that file is renamed.

The error is Error Code: A12E1.
I tried the fix of renaming the file, restarting the computer and trying
again. That didn't work. My operating system is Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
(11G63)
Thanks

Error trying to install updates cs5

My old machine died, and I had to reinstall CS5 Master Collection to the new machine.
I was able to install the suite just fine, and the Update Manager seems to download the updates just fine.
However, when they start to install, I get the below error for 10 of the programs.
"There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later."
I contacted Adobe through a chat, but they'll only support current versions of the software.
Thank you in advance for your help!

manually download the updates, Product updates

Error Code 201 and 213 when trying to install any Adobe application / Update my Creative Cloud Desktop App. Have tried troubleshooting with Online Chat Agents, no luck.

I have been trying for 2 days now to get this resolved.
Computer hashard wired internet connection, running Windows 7 Home Premium. No other issues with downloading or uploading from any other sites or programs. No other network issues reported on other computers.
It started when I went to install Lightroom through my Creative Cloud. It prompted me to update my Creative Cloud Desktop App, which I went to do and then promptly got Error Code 201. I restarted my Creative Cloud and then skipped the update, hoping it was just an issue with that specific download. I clicked to install Lightroom and the same thing happened, Error code 201.
I restarted my machine, and tried again. Same issue.
I contacted Support. They had me go in and change a bunch of folder names to and add "old" to the end of them and then had me try using the Adobe Cleaner tool, which did not work. He had me go in and change some internet settings, still nothing. Same issues as before, only now with all the renaming of things I cannot even open programs I had previously been able to open like Photoshop.
He instructed me to reinstall the CC Desktop App because the Cleaner tool was not recognizing that it existed anymore (probably something to do with renaming files.. just saying) and now I get the 201 Error when I try to reinstall the CC Desktop App.
I ran out of time and had to stop after being on with them for over an hour.
Today I contact back and was instructed to create a new user account on my computer and try downloading and installing the application in the new user. Same errors. 213 at first, restarted my computer and then got Error Code 201 again.
I am getting really frustrated and really behind on my work. Any information someone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Currently waiting for a chat person to be available again.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Meowia for Error 201 please see Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html. Error 213 indicates there was problem locating the update or an incorrect URL. The troubleshooting steps are still the same as both errors are related to failure of the current network connection.

I am trying to install update 11.0.06 for my Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, but without success multiple times.Get error 1603 each time,

I am trying to install update 11.0.06 for my Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, but without success multiple times.Get error 1603 each time. I have tried disabling my antivirus software without success. I have looked for solutions to error 1603, and have tried what it suggests (empty temp files in Windows, etc.), also without success.There is nothing that mentions Window 8 or 8.1 operating system, though. Is this the issue? Please help.

Hi Dawn,
We might want to have a look at the install logs to determine the cause.
Please try the following basic steps :
> Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
> Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
> Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check.
Regards,
Rave

I am getting error #1328 in acrobat XI while trying to install update.

I am getting error #1328 while trying to install update to acrobat XI. The error says it failed to apply patch to C:\config.msi\PTFBD7.tmp. I have uninstalled and reinstalled acrobat as the help page said to do, but it still will not install the update.

Brooks Potteiger I would recommend also reviewing the installation log for the update you are trying to apply. You can find details on how to accomplish this at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

Hi Guys
No good news I'm afraid. I have been through ALL the system caches and files that were updated at the time of said issue. Reset - rebuild and even gone back to my TimeMachine copy from earlier this AM. Nothing! Can only assume it is something deeper in the /usr or var or private folders.....
I have cloned the system and core files (/usr, /private) etc etc to an external HD and it still recreates the fault. I am afraid to say I have no more time at the minute to look at so have put my machine back to 2 hours prior via my TimeCapsule.
I the absense of anyone else or, indeed, Apple fixing in the next 12 hours, will get back onto it from the cloned copy I have kept and see if I can find the offending file/files...
Sorry I don't have an immedaite solution.

Trying to install update and error message says older version of itunes cannot be removed

trying to install update and error message says older version cannot be removed

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

It appears Apple’s download servers are ‘overwhelmed’ today. I couldn’t download the newest iTunes update or IOS 7 and there are a lot of discussions today about not being able to download. One poster said they had chatted with App Store support who confirmed the problem.
What updates? Here is a link for iTunes which worked for me.

Error A12E1 when I try to update the Creative Cloud desktop

I get an Error code: A12E1 when I try to update the Creative Cloud desktop on my Mac, OS 10.7.5. I tried creating a different user account but that made no difference. I uninstalled the Creative Cloud desktop app and downloaded a new one from the CC website. Same problem with an Error code: A12E6.
So how do we fix this?

Dear Mr. Wright,
I’ve encountered this A12E1 error EVERY time an update to CC Desktop has been required — that’s (5) times since August 2013. I contacted TS chat the first (4) times and each time I listened to them tell me that this was the LAST TIME I’d encounter this error. Each time, they put me through exactly the same process, delete exactly the same processes and folders, uninstall the CC application and reinstall it. This time, I skipped the tech support chat and did it myself: who needs to be lied to over and over again?
If you’re not going to eliminate this A12E1 error, at least put something together to automate the process, please?
The instructions for #3, reinstalling the CC desktop application (post #23 above) are inaccurate, at least for OS 10.7.5. Tip: the Mac has more than one OS in use, as does Windows.
P.S. I deeply resent being ignominiously FORCED to use CC apps with the worst GUIs ever (are your code gurus completely ignorant of the concepts of CLARITY and LEGIBILITY?), being FORCED to reconfigure (6) or (8) “upgraded” applications every few months because Adobe won’t support the previous version(s) for more than five minutes, being FORCED to sift through hundreds of forum posts and dozens of INACCURATE or non-existent so-called “support” pages (e.g., the link cited above) and being FORCED to watch hours of useless TV tutorials in order to find the one piece of information I need — EVERY TIME I need support — because Adobe is too lazy to write application- and version-specific manuals. You’ve backed us into that infamous circle of hell between a rock and a hard place instead of providing us with the stable, seamless suite of creative tools we were promised.
The bling and the glitz and the self-promotional “look at our wonderful new toys” videos just don’t fill the void, Adobe.
Unless you work for a company big enough to afford one of your outrageously expensive tech support plans, you’re out here fending for yourself on forums that never seem to get looked at by an Adobe employee. I spend more time solving Adobe-related problems than I do producing billable work. I’ve been a loyal, dues-paying, license-respecting Adobe customer since 1991; every year I paid the upgrade fees and was content to do so until Creative Suite offered the same upgrade deal to people with (1) outdated version of Photoshop that they offered to someone who’d paid the upgrades on (5) to (8) Adobe applications for (15) years. So much for loyalty and playing by the rules.
If you really want to help me, please find out why the Typekit support people haven’t answered the e-mail I sent them (2) days ago. And if Typekit won’t work with Dreamweaver CS6, then they ought to come out and say that instead of sending you to help pages that tell you how to use it with Dreamweaver CC. Thanks.
