Installation Failed InDesign CC on mac 10.8.4

I am unable to install CC apps and getting Instalation Failed msg, administrator privileges are required to install msg in Adobe Application Manager , does anyone knows how to troubleshoot it , thanks?

Thanks Jeff , after 6 hours talking with Adobe agent issue is fixed. Problem was the older version of creative cloud installer on my system that had to be removed and creative cloud cleaner tool used to remove any remains of it. All was done from extra admin account I created just for this (deleted after all finished) so there was no glitch re administrative privileges. New creative cloud installer version was installed on desktop and installation of in Design and other apps worked .

  • PS Elements 9 installer failing to initialize on Mac OS

    I had a hard drive failer and am in the process of reinstalling everything.  I put my PSE 9 disk in and choose install.  A window pops up saying "Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."  I downloaded the support advisor and it says nothing is wrong.  I tried to install the trial version and got the same message.  WTH!!!
    Since PSE 10 is now out, I can't find anyplace to download even a trial version of 9 so I can at least put in my serial number and Adobe's website has NOTHING for PSE9.  I don't want to pay another $80 when I have a disk for 9 already.  Before my HD crash, PSE9 worked perfectly fine.
    I'm not a happy camper.  I don't know what to do at this point.

    Got it loaded.  It was a permissions issue.  For some reason my log-in as an admin wouldn't allow me to install the application.  I saw on another thread that someone had the same issue and they created another login as an admin and loaded it that way.  When I called Apple for another issue I was having I told them about this and what the  possible solution was and they talked me through creating a new user as an admin.  Once that was set up I put the disk back in and it loaded perfectly fine.   WHEW!!!  I'm a happy camper again.  I haven't decided if I'm going to delete that user or not.  Just in case I run into another issue down with road with any other applications.
    Thank you to the Adobe forum for the information I needed to get this resolved.

  • Photoshop 6 failed to reinstall-installer failed??? mac

    i keep getting installer failed to initialize-what do i do?

    Hi Swordfish240455,
    Welcome to the Community!
    The error you are receiving is a generic error and reason can be anything, we'll have to check the log files however try few basic steps first:
    1) Restart the computer and retry installation
    2) Download new Creative cloud desktop app via https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud and retry installation.
    2) If that doesn't work then go through this link and follow the steps mentioned under Installer failed to initialize: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-error-messages-bootstrapper-cs5.html
    Thanks!

  • Photoshop Elements 10 (& Premiere Elements 10) - Installer failed to initialize on Mac

    Hi, has anyone cracked the issue of PSE 10 failing to install on a Mac (OSX 10.7.3)? I've chatted to Support and surfed these forums and the only way it seems to install is by creating a new admin account. Not ideal.
    I've downloaded the software a couple of times and it makes no difference. There is obviously something different between the default admin account and creating another admin account but I can't figure out what.
    Appreciate any help or guidance.
    Thanks, Julian

    Hi,
    A lot of factors can be the cause of permission issues. A lot of applications modify native permissions in order to function as expected.
    It may sometimes be difficult to narrow down to the exact cause of the permissions issue.
    Creating a new admin account eliminates the need to individually fix the permissions in your default Admin account as it creates new access rights. Hence the application does not encounter any issues while being reinstalled in the new Admin account.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • "The Installation Failed" Acrobat Pro on Mac

    I have downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for the Mac as an upgrade from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
    On Installation, having gone through all the steps, typed in my serial number, watched it go through the install process, a the very final stage I receive this error message:
    And then, I'm done.
    I have tried to install on my MacBook Air (2011) running 10.8.2 over my existing Acrobat Pro 9.0.0.  I have over 30GB of space available on the drive and have 4GB of RAM.
    Lest I had made a mistake in purchasing, I also tried downloading a trial version of Acrobat Pro XI, and installing from that download.  I received the same error message.
    I downloaded a further version as a direct download from 'My Account' page - and that had the same error message.
    Just to check the position, I downloaded the file to my 2007 iMac (running 10.8.2 also) and received the same message, so it is not machine-specific.
    As a further precaution, I have also tried installing XI having removed v9 - just in case.  Same error message...
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Hi Matt and Tom, this is the email I recieved from tech adobe help on this, after doing this, I was able to get it working.  But the I can't attache the file here.  if you email me at jeremyrerickson@gmail, I will forward this email on to you with the file you need to replace in yoru peferences file.
    Hi,
    As discussed over phone I am sending you the plist file as a workaround.If
    this does not help I need to escalate this issue.
    Before copying this plist please quit Acrobat and Safari.
    Unzip the attached plist and copy/drag it to your ~/Library/Preferences/
    folder.
    Launch Acrobat.
    Open PDF in Safari.
    Also it would be really helpful if you can send us the below logs: Launch
    Finder > Go > Go to FolderŠ > /private/ and hit go and search for the
    below paths.
    /private/tmp/var/log/install.log
    /private/tmp/amt3.log, oobelib.log, swtag.log , PDApp.log
    This is how to show/hide the hidden files on Mac:
    To show hidden files in Finder, enter the following two commands into a
    Terminal window (press enter after each line):
    defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
    killall Finder
    To hide hidden files in Finder, enter the following two commands into a
    Terminal window (press enter after each line):
    defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
    killall Finder
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks,

  • Installing InDesign CS3 on Mac OS 10.9.5 Mavericks

    Installation of InDesign CS3 on Mac OS 10.9.5 Mavericks
    This question is Not Answered.
    s c perks Oct 14, 2014 6:04 AM
    1. I have InDesign CS3, which I bought about 6 years ago, and installed on my MacBook Pro. I have now got a new Mac Pro running OS 10.9.5 Mavericks. When I bought the machine I asked Apple if I would be able to install my InDesign and they said there would be no problem. But it will not install. The intsllation fails every time near the end. It installs Bridge and one other components, both of which it calls shared components. But InDesign is not installed.
    I went to the Adobe web site and looked up what to do. I got to a page that had my product on and it seemed to be telling make I must download an installer. When I clicked on this link, however I got a page with the following message:
    HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
    RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
    I do not know what to do now.
    2. If I do download an installer (I did not need to do this when I first installed the programme on my lap top MacBook Pro 6 years ago, but just installed it from the disc), how do I get rid of the downloader afterwards, since I read somewhere, but cannot remember where, that I should get rid of the installer afterwards but that I should not put it in the trash bin?
    Thank you for any help you can give me.
    Stephen Perks

    Many thanks for your help. I will try this. After posting this question yesterday I contacted Adobe and was astonished to find that they do not sell InDesign and do not support it and that one can only upgrade to monthly or yearly rental of CreativeCloud. I'm afraid for me this is nonsense, and I consider it very bad practice on Adobe's part. I will have to go to QuarkExpress instead if I cannot install Indesign CS3, which I nearly did do 6 years ago, but after reading such good reviews of InDesign and got it. I wish now I'd got Quark! I appreciate your help.

  • InDesign CS6 trial download: "Installer failed to initialize"

    Hi, I have successfully downloaded Adobe InDesign CS6, using the Download Manager Software. When I click on 'Install", a window appears with a progress bar ("Adobe Installer"), and the bar gets about 2/3 through, then I get an error message saying "We've encountered the following issues. Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem." Then a link to download Adobe Support Advisor, or button to Quit.
    So, I downloaded and ran Adobe Support Advisor. After initializing, the software tells me "no issues detected."
    - My machine meets the system reqs for InDesign CS6
    - Obviously I have tried restarting my machine and running all these steps again. Still getting the error.
    Please help!!! Thank you.

    Okay, Mylenium, here are my system specs:
    Mac os x version 10.6.8, 4gigs memory, 2.3GHz Intel Core i7 Processor, 470 Gigs of available hard drive space.
    I have run all of Apple's software updates up to today, and I have also run cleanup and Disk Utility repairs just in case these are a factor. Still getting the error message with the "Failure to initialize install."
    Also: I have installed on my machine InDesign, Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, Dreamweaver CS5.
    Can you help me?

  • Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac OS 10.10:  Installation Failed error message.

    Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac:  Installation Failed error message.  Update downloaded directly from Adobe website.  Newly purchased Mac Workbook Pro, OS 10.10, using Photoshop CS5. Other updates successfully accomplished.  Camera Raw 6.7 Update was downloaded multiple times with multiple installation attempts. Any recommendations?

    thanks for the prompt response...i appreciate it.  according to the link you listed, that's correct.  the strange thing is that prior to the upgrad to mac os 10.8.4, photoshop CS5 was working just fine and i was able to open my canon raw files with my current camera raw plug-in version 6.7 which adobe has indicated is the last camera raw update they'll be offering for cs 5
    so it's clearly an issue related to the "upgrade" of the os.  seems like every solution creates 6 new problems...further evidence for the notion that if it ain't broke don't fix it!  thanks again.

    just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera.  Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?

    The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
    You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5.
