How so I download LR 4.2 product update?

I have tried repeatedly to download the product update  lightroom 4.2 without sucess. I have a very good broadband signal, but the connection bogs down with the starting procedure. Eventually I get 42.5k version of Lightroom_4_LS11_win_4_2.exe  which Windows 7 can't open. The file is supposed to be 751MB. My procedure: open LR4, go to help> check for updates>Update 4.2 is available>download>http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5488>Proceed to download>Download Now>Save File> Tell it save in my Downloads folder and then it stalls on starting. Any clues?

Thanks for the suggestion Nikhil. I finally was able to do a live chat with an Adobe tech person, who said the problem was likely do to my anti-virus program. She suggested I disable it temporarily and then download the update. I tried and it went a little further but then stalled again. In a couple weeks I will be in a place with superfast internet and will do it then.
What seems odd is that Adobe doesn't zip these files or use an installer file program (with a different extension). .exe extensions are notorius for viruses and anti-virus programs thus target them.
I also found it very hard to reach an Adobe person, the first number I tried, had a 2+ hour wait but said they'd call me back if I scheduled it - never got the call. This page had more available helpers (3o minute wait) plus immediate live chat help. It's here: http://helpx.adobe.com/contact/

    It is likely that your subscription has been upgraded to Photoshop CS6.  If you are still facing difficulties then please install from https://creative.adobe.com/.  You can find details on how to install at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4396277#4396277?tstart=0.

  • TS4498 How large a download is this LP X update?

    Hello!
    I've looked in Apple's release notes & info provided at the App Store, but found nothing about the size of this download. Due to Verizon's 5Gb monthly allowance, I have to be very careful. Wish Apple provided this info for all downloads because it's definitely important for at least some of us, especially people way out in the boonies with no really fast connection, limited monthly allowance, and limited Wi-Fi access. Just started getting 4G in my area, so at least that's good!  :-)
    One big problem for many of these "App Store only" updates/downloads is that there's no way to stop them once they start and no way to find out how big the download is until actually starting the process.
    So, has anyone downloaded this Logic Pro update? If so, about how large was it?
    Thanks;
    Cagey

    To The Art Of Sound:
    Thanks. Good to know. Sure beats having to go through a super huge download just because of a small update!  :-)
    To Bill Borez:
    Thanks. I was afraid this might be a 600mb or so download, so you gave me a good ballpark.
    I now understand that, due to Apple's "Delta" method of updating, an exact download size would depend on each individual's situation, but it would be helpful if they could at least give some sort of estimated size (such as, "between 40 and 80mb"). At least, then a person would know it wasn't hundreds and hundreds and maybe even thousands!
    Note: I've downloaded the update and it was, indeed, fairly small, quick and painless. Wahoo!
    Extra Note: I had to force-stop an "Additional Content" instruments download about halfway through since I had to leave the place where I was using free Wi-Fi. Since there's no way of actually pausing these downloads, I just went offline to stop it and figured I'd have to start all over again on a future occasion. ... Surprise! The next time I went online (which also involved free Wi-Fi) and opened Logic Pro, a "Resume Content Download?" window popped up, giving a choice to either continue, "decide later" or cancel. Of course, I selected to continue and then the download finished from where it had left off! Nice!

  • I don't have my ipod touch with me how can i download the 2.0.2 update?

    I'm at a friends house and i don't have my Ipod touch, so how can i download the new update

    Hi,
    You don't give much away there!
    My guess, you don't have an internet connection, or fast one at least, at home?
    I think you would need your Touch with you to get the 2.0.2 update.
    Can't help, sorry,

  • HT3702 How to check downloads waiting for bank info update

    I had entered a few donwloadds because I didn't know that my bank info needed to be updated.  Now it's updated, but I don't want those apps any more because I have others now.  How can I check my waiting list and cancel them?

    All purchases are considered final (unless there is a problem with an item), but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will cancel the purchases : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

  • How to disable product update on Cisco AnyConnect mobility client

    Hallo,
    Do you anybody know how to disable/turn off "Checking for product update" during _every_ connecting Cisco Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client (VPN) to remote sites?
    I found it may by possible on the ASA side, but I need to disable it on the client (computer). I can see that checking is NOT during connecting to my company site, but when connecting to ANY OTHER site everytime is new version checked. It takes some time ... and I need to switch between VPN often.
    Thank you for your help!
    Regards, Ondrej

    You should be able to do this in the AnyConnect local policy. Just add (or edit, if you already have a local policy file) the following to the local policy file:
    <!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?-->
    <anyconnectlocalpolicy acversion="2.4.140" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/encoding/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemalocation="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/encoding/ AnyConnectLocalPolicy.xsd">
    <BypassDownloader>true</BypassDownloader>
    </AnyConnectLocalPolicy>
    The local policy file can be found here:
    Windows Vista/7/8: C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\AnyConnectLocalPolicy.xml

  • Where can I download the latest PS CC update?

    I downloaded the latest PremierePro CC and other CC updates from the usual place: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
    But I can't find any *Photoshop CC* updates there.
    So, where do I find them?
    Also, why aren't they there anymore, whereas most other products' CC updates still are?

    Also, why aren't they there anymore, whereas most other products' CC updates still are?
    Indeed, we kept getting requests for these from folks like you wanting to download the individual CC product updates without the AAM or Creative Cloud Desktop app, like Adobe used to supply for the older CS products... 
    So we put together two complete sets of downloads with all the current updates for all CC apps (and will be keeping it up-to-date going forward).  Here they are and hope they help:
    All Adobe CC Updates: Direct Links for Windows
    All Adobe CC Updates: Direct Links for Mac OS
    These include the recent Photoshop CC 14.1.2 and 14.2 standalone updates.
    Finally, the reason the download instructions are necessary are because of Adobe's requirements to enable downloading from their servers (setting their session cookie on your browser).
