I've really stuffed up the installation - how do I start over?

This is turning into a nightmare. I purchased CC the other day and couldn't download any apps - I got the Download Error message that several other people have referred to. I read a few forums, tried verifying my address, logged out and in again etc etc, no luck. I couldn't download any apps: a Launch Application box would pop up saying "This link needs to be opened with an application." I'd select "Send to CreativeCloud URIHandler" and nothing would happen - I just went back to the original Download Error message.
I decided to uninstall Creative Cloud and AAM and start from scratch, but somehow I have even managed to muck that up (probably by dragging it to the Trash rather than using the uninstaller). Now I can't reinstall Creative Cloud! I click on Download and it goes to a "Problem loading page" tab: It says "FIrefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (aam) isn't associated with any program. You might need to install other software to open this address". I have tried to fish AAM and CC out of the Trash - maybe I've put them in the wrong place?
I just want to start over with a clean slate: grateful for any advice on how to do this. Otherwise I think I'll just cancel my membership (I can't even do that right now as I'm in the wrong time zone) and come back to this when I've calmed down a bit...
Thank you.

Run the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and fix your browser MIME-types/ protocol handlers by reinstalling it as well.

    Thank you for all of your answer.

    I've seen it mentioned on here that a PRAM reset may solve it:
    Reset PRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.
    You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • I have ebooks on my ipod and when I'm listening to a story it will not go to the next chapter, it just starts over again with the chapter I just listen too.  How do I correct this?  It didn't do this before.

    I have ebooks on my ipod and when I'm listening to a story it will not go to the next chapter, it just starts over again with the chapter I just listen too.  How do I correct this?  It didn't do this before.

    ebooks is a term for (mainly) textual books that can be read on screen. If you're listening then I think you mean audiobooks. See audiobooks on iPods. Either reorganize as single files or access via a playlist.

  • If it starts downloading on the ipad how can i start downloading on computer

    if I have rented a movie on my ipad and it starts downloading on the ipad how can i start downloading on computer as it is taking too long via wifi

    I know you need iTunes tosynchorinize your iPad, and i know ther is a connection kit (i searched internet before posting this question).
    The point is:
    We are on vacation. the iPad is my fathers. We have here only his iPad and my laptop. We wanted to put foto's we made with a digital camera foto's on the iPad, so i connected the iPad to my laptop, and was able to copy the foto's to the iPad. So they are on the iPad, but they cannot be viewed. Since I do not want to instll software on my laptop I do not need my self, and we see no point in buyin a connection kit for one time use, it would be great if you could just copy foto's to the iPad and then view them.
    I would appreciate it very much if someone could tell me how to do this. I am not used to working with tablets.so I am used to thinking "PC wise": youo copy files to a location on your computer and then you use a program to open those files. I know it works differently on an iPad, but it woul be great if this was one option that also would be available.

  • How do I start over with my mac book pro

    I used disk utility and found my hard drive to be corrupt. How do I start over and clean this up?

    Backup your Users data off the computer to regular storage drive (not TimeMachine), hold c boot off the 10.6 and use Disk Utility to Erase with Zero the entire drive of everything, this will map off any bad sectors and if you have enough spares, the drive shoudl work fine again.
    Reinstall OS X, setup with the same user name, Software Update until clear, install your programs from fresh sources and return files from the storage drive, don't use TM to restore it's also corrupted image, just have to start all over again.

  • My video download gets about 2/3 of the way through, stops, and starts over

    My video download gets about 2/3 of the way through, stops, and starts over (as if I had never downloaded anything). I have DSL, and it's the only video downloading. Why does it stop and start all over again, over and over? It's really bumming out my iTunes experience. Oh, and I'm running XP, not XPpro.

    Let it go... these DL's take forever, depending on the spped of your connection and the traffic on the servers.
    If by morning it is still sitting there restart and the DL should pick up from where it left off.

  • I have screwed up a bunch of settings etc. on macbook pro running preinstalled lion. I think I should is to wipe the computer and reinstall to start over again. I will loose nothing of importance except a few passwords.  Is this wise? How do I do it?

    I have screwed up a bunch of settings, folders, photos, etc on my macbook pro running factory installed Lion.  To get everything straightened out, I was thinking I should do a delete and reinstall and just start over like it was a brand new computer.  I will only loose some usermane and password info and my history and cookies.  There is nothing else on the computer that is not on another device somewhere.  Does this sound like the right thing to do?  I cannot seem to find ways to correct the problems indivdually, though I am sure they are there.  If so, how do I do it?  My computer did not come with any type of disc, I do not believe.  Thanks in advance for anyone's help!

    Yes, that sounds reasonable.
    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list.
          Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
            and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process
          has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    Emptying the Inventory database and starting fresh
    Question: How hard is it to empty out my Inventory database and start
    fresh? I'm using a Sybase database -- is there anything I should watch
    out for?
    Answer: You can replace the database with empty files from the
    installation CD (or wherever you have the original installation files).
    Try this:
    1. Shut down the Inventory services on the server.
    2. Extract (with PowerArchiver or Winzip) Installer.zip that you can
    find in folder \zenworks\sfiles\InstallerData\ on the ZFD-installation cd.
    3. Browse to
    \R_\Test\prometheus\Bogus\zenworks\Products\RMInv\ Database\Sybase\
    and unpack InvDB_zg_ia_sf.jar.
    4. Copy all extracted files to \ZENworks\Inv\DB\ on the server. Replace
    existing files.
    5. Start the services with mgmtdbs.ncf and startinv.
    If you need an empty NAL.DB it is in NalDB_zg_ia_sf.jar.

  • My files are a mess - how can I start over in iTunes?

    Over the years, my music files have become scattered all over between different locations on my internal drive and various externals. I have tons of duplicates, lost files, and it's just a general mess.
    I would like to do a search for all my music files, and completely start over with iTunes and keep them on my MacBook Pro. I have room on my internal (or would, if they were oranized properly and I got rid of duplicates!) but a lot of the files that show up on iTunes are on an external so of course it will ask me where they are. This is driving me crazy and I want to just scrap everything and start over fresh.
    I have a 1TB external that I can dump them all on while I change over.
    Any suggestions on the best way to do this would be welcome, as well as whether there are programs available that would help with this (or is it just as doab;e without a separate application).
    TIA, Alicia Morgan

    basically, the question is: does iTunes know where all these files are ? or does iTunes show a "!" next to any files ?
    I have tons of duplicates ...

    iTunes Track CPR v1.3
    This script attempts to locate the files of so-called "dead tracks"--iTunes tracks designated with (!)--that you assume are not actually missing but are still located in the iTunes Music folder in their "iTunes File Order" (Music -> Artist -> Album -> file.xxx)."
    or
    _*Music Folder Files Not Added v2.0*_
    This application will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' library. Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. Options to Add a selection of found files to iTunes or move them to the Trash.

    once you have gotten rid of dupes and located the lost files, you could consolidate your library:
    (a) go iTunes > preferences > advanced and make sure
    o iTunes media folder location is pointing to the iTunes music folder on your startup disk
    o +keep iTunes media folder organized+ is checked
    o +copy files to ... when adding to library+ is checked
    (b) have any external HD holding any of your media files is mounted on your desktop
    (c) go file > library > organize library > consolidate files
    if the option to +upgrade to iTunes media organization+ is available, select that too.
