HELP

Hi,
I would suggest run the cleaner tool : http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html?promoid=GYTAU
Make sure your user have read and write permission on the application and library folder of your hard drive.
Then try to redownload the software and install.
If it fails then run the disk permission from disk utility.
Another one you can try is to create a new admin account and downlaod and install the software on it.
Hope this helps.

Illegal seek - photoshop CS5 on iMac

Like others, I'm getting the "illegal seek" error when trying to download the trial version of photoshop. Both illustrator and InDesign worked fine, but I cannot complete the download for photoshop. When I try to cancel the download while it is extracting, the "x" button doesn't do anything - so I'm not able to try to redownload it to any other location, or try to use something other than the download assistant. This has gone on for 3 days now, with no answers.
I'm using a brand new iMac, so nothing has been downloaded on it before.

If you complete solution 1 in Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html#main_Solutio n_1 it will clear out your download. Where are you choosing to download your install files too? Several other users have reported they were trying to download to their Applications folder. When they choose the default of the User folder or even their desktop they are able to download successfully.

What is an 'illegal seek'?

Hello all - I made an attempt to download the 2011 Office for Mac - trial version. I have a product key from a previous purchase (retrieved after my old Macbook died). After downloading and sending to my desktop - I received an 'illegal seek' error and cannot download. Any advice??

Was this an error on the computer when transferring the file to your Desktop or an error when trying to open the installer?

Problem extracting InDesign CS5.5 trial - error message "illegal seek"

Hi,
trying to download Indesign trial CS5.5
I think the file downloads, however when it trys to extract I get a box appear saying
"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.

Download error...Image: PhotoshopElements_10_WWEFDJ.dmj; reason: Illegal Seek

I attempted to download AdobePhotoshopElements about a week ago, but whenever I click on the download assistant it still says that it's extracting and an error message pops up saying, "The following disk couldn't be opened. Image: PhotoshopElements_10_WWEFDJ.dmj; reason: Illegal Seek." I was never able to open the trial version nor have I ever installed AdobePhotoshop Elements in the past. I have a MacBook Pro with Mac Os X version 10.6.8. Does anyone know where I went wrong during the free trial download process, and how I can resolve the problem so that I may use what's left of my 30-day trial?
LRP

If the Adobe Download Assistant says it is still Extracting then this would be why you are receiving the message about the Illegal Seek. I would recommend canceling the download and using the default location of your User folder.
Alternately you can utilize the steps listed in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 to initiate a direct download.

Error 4960 & Illegal Seek

Hi, I have been downloading CS trial for a few days and now that it is almost complete, I am faced with the following error messages:
DesignPremium_CS5_5 error - 4960

I've been reading threads and other forums for a solution to these but to no avail.
Kindly advise what I should do.
Thanks.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the prompt response.
I've followed the instructions on the thread and the same error messages appear. I tried restarting my laptop but to no avail.
Is there something which I might be missing out here?
Thanks!

Clean Install Lion Dsik Mount Problem - "(Illegal Seek)"

I'm trying to create a bootable USB so I can clean install Lion on my mac. However, when I try and burn the .dmg file onto my USB I get an error message along the lines of "Unable to create "installesd.dmg - (Illegal seek)".
The USB (4GB) is Mac formatted. I have tried using my Mac formatted iPod (60GB) as well but that doesn't work either.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Arun, have you migrated any data into your clean Lion installation yet? I'm curious to learn about the startup speed of such a clean installation.
While i simply updated from Snow Leopard i'm experiencing a significantly slowed-down startup. I wonder whether it's worth to start from scratch and first update to Lion and then manually install all my applications and data.
Thank you.

"Illegal seek" message after downloading trial Premiere Pro

Adobe installed a Premiere Pro folder on my desktop but I get an "illegal seek" message when trying to open it. At the same time the Download Assistant appears to be stuck on extracting the files.....I've had a nice email telling me to enjoy my 30-day trial which is quickly running out because the download won't work!

Illegal dependency error on deploying GP Web Dynpro application

Hello All,
We have created a GP application (FamilyStatusChange) on NWDS 7.0.11. We are using EP. 7.0 SP11.

When I try to checkin and activate the activity corresponding to FamilyStatusChange, the activation fails and I get the following error:

Please let me know if there is any settings / access that need to be in place so that this application runs fine. Also let me know the Jar files that need to be added to make this app work.
Regards,
Vibha

Hi Romain,
I am still working on the issue. But here are my findings. I am stuck up with Basis team to deploy the missing Jar files.
I had created a GP webdynpro application in EP7 SP6. When we moved to SP11, I copied the same application from SP6 track to SP11 track. Then I got the error upon deployment. Now the catch here is the way GP related Interfaces and classes are used in SP7 and above.
The changes can be summarized as follows:
1. You need to reference to DC caf/eu/gp/api but instead of using the Public Part
default you need to use Public Part external
2. All published Interfaces now start with the prefix IGP
3. All published Classes now start with the prefix GP
Please go through the document "Implementing a Web Dynpro Callable Object which Implements the GP Interface" on SDN.
For illegal dependency issue, if the DC has already been added then you get this error. If required, remove the used DC and add it again.
Also ensure that the DCs that you are adding as Used DC in your application are deployed on the J2EE engine.If not deploy them through SDM.
My development configuration contains the following DCs:
- caf/eu/gp/api(PP - External)
- caf/eu/gp/api/wd(PP - GPWebDynproCO)
- com.sap.exception
- com.sap.security.api.sda
- tc/logging
Hope this solves your issue.

Vibha Singhal

TABLE ILLEGAL STATEMENT error with MODIFY command

Hi gurus,
i want you to inform me about table illegal statement error. The error occurs when i use modify as below.
loop at itab.
   select .......
         where xxx eq itab-xxxx.
       MODIFY itab.
endselect.
endloop.
i know that i have to give the sy-tabix as INDEX parameter to the modify command. but i want to know why i have to do this?
cause when i debug, i follow the sy-tabix field and it have not a change in select endselect.
may the reason of the error about cursor in select and cursor effects modify command?
or why?
Thx,

Hello,
I guess this is because your MODIFY statement is inside the SELECT ... ENDSELECT & not inside the LOOP ... ENDLOOP.
SAP documentation says:
Within a LOOP loop, the INDEX addition can be ommitted. In this case the current table line of the LOOP loop is changed.
You have to change the coding:
DATA: v_index TYPE i.
loop at itab.
v_index = sy-index.
select .......
where xxx eq itab-xxxx.
MODIFY itab INDEX v_index.
endselect.
endloop.
BR,
Suhas
PS: The coding practice followed is not very performance oriented as well. May be you should have a look around in some blogs, wikis in SCN & change the code accordingly.

Hotfixes are special, out-of-band patches created to fix specific problems, so they are never published to Windows Update. Often the hotfix gets incorporated into a released patch that is published on Windows Update. If this hotfix was incorporated
into a released patch, and you applied that patch to your system, the hotfix would see that its files are older than the latest files on the system and would give you this message. Because the hotfix is not for general distribution, there is rarely documentation
saying that it has been superceded.
Generally there is a file list with a hotfix/patch that gives you the version number of the affected files. You can go through those files to see that you have the latest files. The problem is finding the actual patch that updated those files.
