I keep getting an Installer failed to initalize error
I am trying to install the trial version of Adobe CS 6 and I keep getting this error: "Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support to detect the problem". I did that and the Adobe Support Advisor says there are no problems. I tried re-downloading the CS 6 trial but I still get the same message.
This is what my PDApp.log says:
3/5/2013 15:03:54 [FATAL] PIM - Failed to load updaterInventory Library
3/5/2013 15:03:54 [ERROR] PIM - Error in _pimCreateAndValidateUpdateInventoryLibrary.
Please help!
Bokin,
Can you just check if your Windows Service Installer is Running Fine or not?
How to Check, Here :
Click on "Start", type "Run", and hit Enter at the RUN.
Type Services.msc
Order the list by 'Name' and search for "Windows Installer", Double Click to open it and choose 'StartUp Type' to Automatic and then try the installation.
If this doesn't work - Go to this location - C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe and Rename the Folder "AAMUpdaterInventory" to "AAMUpdaterInventory.old" , and then
Go the link "Click Here", and download the latest Adobe application Manager Patch for your Operating System.
Cheers!

I'm about to hulk out guys! Brand new iPhone 5 and need to update iTunes for recognition. Keep getting "the installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail." Can anyone help? I may smash something very soon.
iTunes:
AppName: itunes.exe
AppVer: 10.5.0.142
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0
Offset: 001be6f6
Quicktime:
EventType : BEX
P1 : QuickTimePlayer.exe
P2 : 7.71.80.42
P3 : 4ea5c6ef
P4 : QuickTimePlayer.dll
P5 : 7.71.80.42
P6 : 4ea5c6d5
P7 : 00005b6d
P8 : c0000409
P9 : 00000000
That's consistent with another application (other than QuickTime) having dropped old QuickTime componentry in non-standard locations on the PC.
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view options on the PC.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.) -

Windows 7 crashed after Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium completed an update. The only Windows restore point that worked was pre-installation of CS6 software.

Keep getting "general installation error" message Mac OSX 10.8.5/Safari 6.0.5
keep getting "general installation error" message Mac OSX 10.8.5/Safari 6.0.5 Followed all the instructions for uninstalling and clean installing. Just wont install
Make sure you have it set to "show hidden files"
Check BOTH places and you have to restart Finder
Press "Quit This" and then go to the Finder Dock icon and right click it
Select "Open"
Open TIme Machine
Go back to September 28 or earlier.
You'll see the mach_kernel file in the Mac HD directory
(I can't show it in the TM because screenshots don't work while it's open but here it is in my MAc HD)
Right click it and select "Restore to"
Then, when it goes back to Finder, choose the Mac HD directory and click OK.
It will place the mach_kernel back where it was and you can install software again
DON'T FORGET to go back and hide your files (and restart Finder) again, or you'll have a mess with the clutter of hidden files everywhere. -
Im trying to install Photoshop Elements premier 12 on my new Mac with the latest update and i keep getting the same failed to initialise message. I was able to register the key code at first but now im not able to either open the program or reinstall it.
What is "Photoshop Elements Premier 12"? Do you mean Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements? Were your files copied over from a previous mac that had PSE installed on it?

Trying to update Photoshop 5 Camera Raw. Get message installation failed. No other information. Please advise. Running Windows 7 64 bit on Dell Precision m4500. 8G 500G. Is there an alternative way to update the camera profiles in ACR. I am trying to add a Nikon D750 and Canon Powershot G15.
you can update ps cs5 manually:, http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
but you can only update to cr 6.7 and that camera needs 8.7 or better.

I have a samsung scx 4100 series and i just updated to mountain lion and now i keep getting a "filter failed" error, anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it.
Hi again, when you clicked on Mountain Lion and Lion in the App Store you are telling the laptop to reinstall them both.
You may have allowed simutanious downloads checked at the bottom of the window, I don't know, but I expect Mountain Lion is downloading, so Lion is waiting for it to finish, so if you have Mountain Lion installed cancel both download's.
Cancell both downloads anyway.
Go to the apple logo , top left, click on it, then click on about this mac, a window will open telling you what's installed, Mountain Lion is OX 10 version 10.8.2 click on more info, to find out more, Lion will be OX10 version 10.7.4.
Only update were it say's check for updates, not download now. -

In iBooks I keep getting the message failed to load resource is missing HELP!!!
In iBooks I keep getting the message failed to load because the requested resource is missing, tried deleting but still happens I can open it on my iPhone 5, but not on my iPad mini, please HELP!!!
Okay I figured out my problem. When you use the "add another email" option in FaceTime (or iMessage now), it associates that email address with your Apple ID account that you logged in under.
The Apple ID that I'm using for FaceTime isn't the same as the one iMessage defaulted to. I didn't noticed that. Once I switched iMessage to use my other Apple ID, it let me register. What's odd though is that iMessage doesn't recognize my email address as valid when I try to send myself a test message. When I logged out and into a different Apple ID, it did recognize it as registered though. Odd.
So Basically make sure the email address you are trying to register isn't listed as an alternate email address (or primary) on another Apple ID account. -
I'm using DVD Studio pro to burn a dvd but it won't let me cause I keep getting a "Formatting Failed" error message. It says "Formatting was not successful. Layer 0 exceeds max layer size allowed. Choose a suitable marker location that will support this condition." What does this mean?
KrisIt means your file is too large to fit on a single layer disk.
Recompress to keep the overall size (audio,video and menus) below 4.5GB
