I am trying to install adobe 11.3 and adobe keeps quitting

I am trying to install adobe 11.3 and adobe keeps unexpectantly quitting before the install is complete.

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for Install problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it stll crashes installing...
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

    I am trying to install the new iTunes and I keep geting the error message "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start.  Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services".  HELP

    Hey schouten53,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with the latest iTunes update. Let’s troubleshoot the iTunes installation by completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all related components (it is important to remove all components in the order listed).

    Please repost in the Final Cut Pro forum. Have you considered upgrading your machine, if you are still running Leopard your machine may be as old as 5 years old. While this should not matter you probably won't get the performance you want out of a demanding app like FCP.
    Best of luck.

  • Trying to Install a plug-in and it keeps opening Terminal instead of Installer

    When I go to the file and right click, I go to Get Info>Open With it says Terminal. That's not right and I know that but I don't know what is supposed to be there. Isn't it supposed to be some type of installer? There's a thread for Lion that says go to System/Library/Core Services/installer.app, well I have Mountain Lion and that isn't there, so any suggestions?
    Please help!

    Back up all data.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • Running Mavericks on an iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, I've been trying to install Adobe CS3. All components install except InDesign. Is this an installation disk problem or is it not compatible with the OS?

    Running Mavericks on an iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, I've been trying to install Adobe CS3 Design Premium. All components install except InDesign. Is this an installation disk problem, or is there a compatibility problem with the OS?

    I fear that you are trying to download OLDER Software on a newer Operating Sysytem Meaning that you need to Install the Latest Version of Adobe on the Newer Operating System for it to work Properly. Be sure to always check the minimum System Requirements.

  • I am trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended and an error occurs.

    I am trying to install the above program and Error 30: The system cannot read from the specified device.  My DVD drive works so I don't understand why it is not finishing the install.  Then on my programs it says that I have Adobe Photoshop CS4.  Any ideas?

    This may do better posted in the Photoshop forum.

  • Trying to install Adobe Photoshop elements 8 on MAC 10.6.8

    Trying to install Adobe Photoshop elements 8 (that I bought a while ago and never installed) on my MacBook Pro, Intel Core 2 Duo, OS 10.6.8.
    When I insert the PS Elements Disk, a PSE page came up with Read me etc which I read.  I clicked on the blue PSE folder and a window with Bootstrapper.dmg came up. I clicked on that and a window opened asking me to type in my administrator passsword to allow Setp to make changes, which I did, twice... and then nothing happened...
    Is there something else I am suppose to do? OH, another mounted drive appeared in Finder with a long name... "EFBB...........". When I opened it, it had an assets folder  and two .js files (whatever they are)...
    What more do I have to do?

    I think I figued it out... But why installations instructions didn't come up when I inserted the disk was very annoying. And because they didn't, Adobe should post th installations instructions somewhere on their support site. Not here now, which is also annoying.

  • Error 2330 when trying to install adobe reader 9.1

    Trying to install adobe reader 9.1 on an hp laptop (pavilion dv6936us entertainment notebook pc...to be exact).  It has windows vista home premium 64-bit os.  when i try to install i get error message that says "Error 2330 Error getting file attributes:  c:\Program file (x86)\Adobe\Reader9.0\Reader. Get last error: 1392.  Please help.

    Did you look "manually" for remnants of an old Reader installation ? (you could eventually try searching the drive for files and folders named Adobe )
    Some suggests , as the previous thread contributor , that this is an issue with respect to remnants of an old installation :

    Other suggests it could be a corrupted file issue :
    and suggests :
    At a command prompt (run as administrator), do:
    C:\>chkdsk c: /f /v
    and then reboot the machine. A chkdsk of the system drive can only run while
    the system is booting.

  • Error trying to Install Adobe Air on Windows 7

    Trying to install Adobe Air on Windows 7.  Error:  Application descriptor could not be found for this application (301).

    AIR isn't an application, but a runtime that other applications use.  It's similar to Java.  You don't run it directly, it's just something other applications need to have present so they can run.  You won't see any reference to it in your Start menu, though it will appear in your Uninstall control panel.  The applications that use AIR (like Tweetdeck, BBC iPlayer, etc) will have links in your program list.

    Copying the program over to a new machine will not work.   Install it using installation files and activate it using the serial number assigned to the license.
