Illustrator CS5.1 Trial Extracting Warning "illegal seek"

I just got a Macbook Pro and I am have been downloading the Illustrator CS5.1 Trial. I finally go through the download and now it states "Extracting...this may take a while." Well as soon as that started a warning message came up "Illustrator_15_1_LS1.dmg  Illegal seek" I have no idea what this means. I have tried restarting my computer and restarting the download completely and it has taken forever. I have looked in the forums and my next step if writing this is calling in to see what's up.
I have a Mac OS X Version 10.7.2 Lion
And I am trying to download Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 (English) Trial Version 
Can someone help me with this problem?!? I'd really appreciate it!!! I can not figure it out. Thank you!

Well, I don't own a Mac, so I could be way off. But, I am guessing the permissions for that drive and/or folder are not set correctly for Illustrator to access that drive and/or folder. Try looking at the properties of that folder and see if you need to set it for full access. It maybe set to read only for example.

  • Why every time I try to download after effect CS5 trial it says 'illegal seek' but its from the Adobe website? is it because of lion? why?

    Why every time I try to download after effect CS5 trial it says 'illegal seek' but its from the Adobe website? is it because of lion? why?

    It isn't Lion. It might be the browser you are using or it could be an issue with adobe's site.
    Try a different browser and if that doesn't work, contact adobe and let them know you are having problems.

  • Failed Download of Illustrator CS5 trial

    Each time I attempt to download the Illustrator CS5 trial, it begins to download for a few seconds then says to restart the download. Not sure what is wrong, have tried everything listed in the common problems page.
    Any ideas?

    Not really for the simple fact that you didn't provide any meaningful info. You know, those unimportant things with operating system, browser, where to save to and so on....

    Hi,

    "the following disc images could not be installed;
    InDesign_7_5_LS1.dmg - illegal seek"
    I can't open from the actual  file either.
    I have tried downloading multiple times.
    Can anybody please help!
    Thanks

    Hi Lucy
    I just spent a few minutes on Adobe Live Chat. They provided an alternate link to download the product -- hopefully bypassing the Download Assistant which I think is the real problem. We'll see. Here's a link to them if you want to try it. I'm re-downloading it now and am hopeful.

  • Trouble with Illustrator CS5 Trial Installation on Mac

    Hi Everyone,
    I am trying to install the trial version of Illustrator CS5. I am using the Adobe Download Assistant and it has produced an error.
    The error is number 4960 and it says that the disk image for Illustrator could not be opened.
    If anyone could help me with this, that would be great!
    Thanks.

    Nickyonmac111 error 4960 is a Mac OS error indicating your DMG file is corrupted.  I would recommend you remove the Adobe Download Assistant and try the download again.  You might also want to try saving to a different location when prompted.

  • Problem installing illustrator cs5 trial

    I have downloaded the trial cs5 but when i try to install it i get the following error message. I use vista.
    "a problem occurred while ex

    Problem solved - SIMPLE and QUICK solution
    I too had similar problems installing Illustrator CS5.  It just wouldn't complete the installation.  Everything else in the CS5 collection installed fine.  I looked around on the internet.  Assuming that most people's installation problems originate from the same cause—registry errors, then scanning the registry for errors and correcting them first before rerunning the install should solve the problem.  Which is exactly what I did and it worked like a charm.
    Once you figure out what the problem is, how to fix it and get the right tools, the rest is easy.  This is what I did.  It took only a matter of minutes:
    I use CCleaner (stands for Crap Cleaner, it's top-notch freeware I've been using for years, I can't recommend it highly enough!) to run a registry scan first.  Sure enough, it identified at least one error with Illustrator.  I scanned and fixed the errors in a couple of mouse clicks, took seconds.
    I then run the CS5 installer again for Illustrator. Miraculously, it installed without a hitch!
    You can download CCleaner here: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download (The download link is in the top right corner of the page).
    Hope this will help you too.
    As a bonus, you will find that CCleaner can do a lot of wonderful maintenance stuff for your PC!

  • Illustrator CS5 trial--download will not open

    After a complete download and extraction period, the message "illegal seek" appears on my Mac when I attempt to open.

    I did find a thread on the Apple discussion forums at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3112605?start=0&tstart=0 which seems to indicate the download could be corrupted.  I would recommend deleting the currently downloaded file and then try downloading again.  If you continue to have difficulties you may want to try using an alternate Internet connection.

  • Adobe illustrator CS5 trial error

    upon opening AI after the 5th day, I get 0 days remaining?  uninstall and install does not help nor does downloading with differen e-mail address.  Any ideas on how I can reinstate the trial session?

    It's not possible, plain and simple. Once the licensing system has locked down, only a proper serial number can unlock it and that means you buy the software.

  • Is there a CS5 trial download still?

    Hello.
    I was wondering if there was a legitimate Illustrator CS5 trial download link on the Adobe website?
    Thank you.

    Ok, I am getting very desperate!  I have followed the instructions...I get the files downloaded but get the following message:
    The file archive part of Adobe CS5.5 Master Collection is missing.  You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe CS5.5 Master Collection. Please download all parts.
    I have downloaded the files from both links.  I have put both downloads into the same folder.  I have even tried puttin all the individual files from each download into one folder. Nothing works...keep getting this same message!  Getting very frustrated.  I am working with Win 8.  Previous computer was Win 7 Ultimate.  (It died a horrible death...now need to reload the software and of course it is the program I paid $1000 dollars for that I can't find the discs for!) 
    Please...help!  I am willing to call someone for step by step help or ????
    Thanks!!!

  • Photoshop CS5 trial will not open - "illegal seek" message

    I have Mac OS X 10.7.3 installed. The Adobe Download Assistant is stuck in extracting mode, which I can't seem to get rid of even after deleting the Adobe Download Assistant dmg and reinstalling it. Since I was not able to open the Photoshop CS5 dmg (I received the illegal seek message), I deleted it. I have tried redownloading the Adobe Download Assistant, but I can't seem to get it out of its extracting state. What do I do? I have tried 2 different internet connections also... since I saw that was recommended on someone else's post that had the same issue.
    Thanks
