Well the error message is in Swedish but says: The installation program database is damaged. Please contact the Adobe support (which is a hard thing to do!!). I use Windows 7 Home Premium with service pack 1.

Go to your actual realplayer (program), click the top right button (Realplayer with an downwards arrow) and update your software. Make sure Firefox is closed while you do this.

Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

Unable to launch PSE12, I sign in, but app does not launch

I double click on the shortcut, I am asked to sign in and when I do, the box disappears and application does not launch.
I have updated the PSE using the Adobe updater, I cleared the preferences file and nothings.
Any suggestions?

If you launch the editor and organizer directly from the .exe/application files do they work?

Downloading installer works, but installation does not. Nothing happens. New laptop with Win 7 (no earlier Firefox version) & Norton Anti-virus. 3rd Firefox

When I click button to install now, it only restarts the EZ download installer again. I've gone through the process at least 15 times now. I installed FireFox twice before on Windows XP with no issue. I've tried by turning off Norton, computer shut down & restarts, searched Internet Explorer settings for a setting to change, and still no success. I see no one else having this problem in the troubleshooting files, so it must be me.
New laptop with plenty of harddrive space. Internet Explorer version 9.0.8112.16421. Bing search - yech

finitarry,
Thank you for contributing.
I have downloaded the 607 KB "Firefox_Setup_19.0.2.exe" file four times now from at least three different Mozilla websites via EZDownload. I was very careful about that because one time I did it with Norton Anti-virus temporarily disabled. I double-click on the above file and it opens a new window with various "extra" software options and finally arrives at "Install Now" or "Later" buttons. Clicking"Install Now" brings up a Windows Open File - Security Warning box with "Run" or "Cancel" buttons. Clicking "Run" starts the setup file all over. I'm in an endless do-loop. It never installs Firefox and no new Firefox files show up on my PC.
AliceWyman,
Thank you for contributing.
Before beginning this post, I scoured the Support files and especially the "Download, Install and Migration" help files. Most topics close to mine deal with the Norton toolbar, which seems to have been resolved.
Doing some more looking, I found that my setup file was always 607KB, yet the website says it is 19.6MB. When I download it to my Windows 7 laptop, I have gotten a 607 KB size file four times, even though the process did not seem to be interrupted. However, using my Windows XP PC, I get 19.6MB. That could be the problem. I'll transfer the 19.6MB file from the XP to Win7 and see if that works. Thanks. I'll get back to you.
3/24/2013: It worked. Hallelujah!
Someone might want to verify this only happens to me. Maybe it is one of my settings or a fluke or maybe I'm paranoid, but a brand-new laptop with Windows 7 factory-installed stops the Firefox download at 607KB four times in a row (on different days) with no error message. I have to transfer the file from an old Windows XP PC. That sounds to me like Microsoft is trying to prevent the use of Firefox. It could have been something in Windows 7 Home Premium (service pack 1), Internet Explorer (version 9.0.8112.16421 64-bit), Bing, or less likely, Norton Anti-Virus (because I ran it disabled one time - even though Norton labelled the file as medium risk). Just a thought . . .
Right now, I am happily setting up the rest of my system around the quicker, more efficient, more user-friendly, less restricting, Firefox browser. Thank you. =)

I've downloaded firefox 4, but it does not have the orange firefox bar at top left and I do not have any page forward/back arrows...why not? in English

The opening page does not show the orange bar that is supposed to hide my choices. How do I move back and forth between pages as there are no back and forward arrows at top left anymore.
Also I cannot view the html or web address of the page I am working on to see if it is a secure site (ie for money transactions)
or to copy the web address to send to another person.
thanks, colette

You're welcome

ID files downloaded but program does not install..What UP?I

I own legacy CS6 WEB design premium
Indesign files downloaded on my new computer but they did not install automatically like PS Flash DW and AI
the CC updater has no line for them to update.
However the CC installation on my old computer does update the ID that was installed with the suite in 2012

Without proper system info and exact error messages we can't tell you anything. Update blockages can have all sorts of causes. The blindfire advise is to simply start over after running the cleaner tool, making sure to not botch it again by using a different order to update the individual apps...

I have just upgraded to firefox 4, but it does not load up when i press icon

originally, i upgraded directly frm firefox site and it launched. then after shutting down, it has not loaded up since. i have deleted the old firefox off my laptop and attempted to re-install, but no luck. it still does not load up.
i have windows 7, and see the spinning wheel (like it is doing something), but nothing happens.

Just for starters see if you can get Firefox going. Instead of double Left clicking, Right click on Firefox icon>Open.
If that doesn't work, try opening via Firefox in the Start Menu or Programs List. If that works try creating a new desktop icon.
Then you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode - Hold down the Shift Key as you double click on the Icon> don't check any of the boxes on the page that appears>Continue. You have now disabled all extensions and also Hardware Acceleration.
Make sure your plug-ins such as Flash are up-to-date.
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
You should look up "Problematic Extensions"
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions ,
and try disabling third party toolbars.
If Firefox works in Safe Mode you have a culprit or conflict. If you are able to, you disable and re-enable extensions progressively until you find the problem. you will need to work your way through this -

I installed the new Firefox version but it does not open on screen..

It does not automatically open on completion of the install and it does not open when I click on the logo on my desktop or Quick Start bar. It looks like it is starting but nothing happens.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same result.
When I try to uninstall I have to shut down first or the uninstall tells me firefox is running. Starter manager does not show this.

Why not? What happens when trying to use it?
"Will not work" is useless when asking for help. Without specifics, no assistance can be provided.

Computer restarts but installation does not begin...

my problem is pretty simple to explain: i insert the Leopard install DVD into my drive (which works), and after i click "RESTART" for the process to begin, the computer restarts but comes up exactly as i left it - with a "Mac OSX Install DVD" finder window still open. the installation process just never begins.
when i put it in my laptop, the DVD was spit back out right before my login screen came up. when i put it in my external dvd drive, it does not do this, but still doesn't begin the process.
i got rid of all my login items so that nothing would be interfering with the install process but still nothing.
any help anyone can offer? i feel like this has to be something simple...

tpcarmody,
The volume Mac OS X Install DVD appears to be OK.
This indicates to me that you are verifying the Install DVD.
Your reply is not clear to me, make sure that you use the OS X Installation Disk to check your HD.
Use Mac OS X 10.4.2 Disk Utility, or fsck, from a volume or disc
With Mac OS X 10.4.2 or later, Disk Utility can help you recover from these issues without erasing the volume. If your startup volume is affected, start up from a Mac OS X 10.4.2 or later disc or other 10.4.2 or later volume, and use Disk Utility to repair the affected volume (you can't use Disk Utility to repair while started from the affected volume).

Firefox downloads but then will not unpack without administrator status on home computer nor as existing user

I uninstalled "Firefox" having used it for years, after accidentally adding a taskbar I did not want.
On attempting to re-load the "Firefox" downloads straightforwardly but then comes up with an unfamiliar screen.
This says that I may not have the permissions to access all of "Firefox" features so to take a choice of;
(a) Running opening of Firefox as existing user,
or
(b) Running Opening "Firefox" as an Administrator asking for a password.
Neither choice starts the unpacking of downloaded software, the computer just goes quiet.
This is my home computer and I have never been asked this before, and have no special restrictions.
Any suggestions? I have downloaded "Firefox" via Google Chrome and Internet Explorer with same results.
Thank you.

And I still have a bricked iPhone 4

Firefox starts, but it does not allow me to type anything in the search bar or the web address bar. I have uninstalled and re-installed it already. Internet Explorer works fine. What can I do to fix this?

It was working last night. However, in the middle of me talking to a family member in the messenger box of facebook. It just wouldnt allow me to type anything anymore. I closed it and re-opened it, but it didnt allow me to restore my sessions. I tried it again today, and it worked for a few seconds, albeit very slowly. Now, it just wont work. It opens to the Firefox homepage, but it wont do anything else.

I let Firefox sit on my desktop for about five minutes, and it finall allowed me to use it. That is EXTREEEMELY slow. What is the problem?

Installer does not launch LR 5.7 It makes a feeble attempt but then quits without installing the downloads. How can I correct this?

Hi: I have been trying for several hours, in fact all day and into the late evening, trying to get Creative Cloud back to its usually helpful self. My older laptop finally gave up on me but it still holds over 2000 of my recent images and I want to get them back unto a working version of LR. .
I am in Florida and my desktop is in my house in Ontario, Canada. So I picked up another Windows 7 ACER laptop. Actually it was a Xmas gift for my wife who had been suffering from Windows Hateitis .She has recovered and almost likes 8 now. So I get to play with the newer laptop until we get back up north in late March.
However the gremlins seem to have got there before me and Creative Cloud's installer just won't do it's job.. It stutters along weakly for a few seconds and then quits without launching a single byte.
I have downloaded the. exe files but Mulder and Skully are no longer around to solve the mystery.
Perhaps one of you can.
Once I get LR on board I can work on getting those 2000 plus raw files from a dead laptop to a hopefully healthy one. At least it is not a hate.
Regards
LRNav

a quick update, I turned off all security software on my windows desktop and tried this 'Restore' process via iTunes again and it appears to be processing....what an unbelievable PITA

Hello Jeff A Wright and thanks for your reply.
My problem was that I had an incompatible operating system on my iMac. I have downloaded a new one and everything is working just great.
Thank you again and take care.
