Installation of Elements 12 download hangs up at "setting up first use"

I bought a download copy of Photoshop elements 12 to load on my cloud server. Installation went smoothly until the very end when it hung up at "setting up for first use" and would not go forward. When I finally cancelld the dialog box, I received the message "Adobe Application Manager, required to strat your trial, is missing or damaged". This is not a trial and I enetered the proper serial number given to me. What do I have top do to ake it work? Adobe site is no help and customer service is a joke.

Hello & welcome to the Forums!
Have you applied the Firmware Uodate to be able to install past 10.2?
As explained in "Mac OS X 10.2 Welcome and Install Manuals" and "Mac OS X Welcome and Install Manuals", you may need to update the firmware on your Macintosh computer prior to installing Mac OS X 10.2 or later. The following table lists the firmware updates that are available for Apple products that can update to Mac OS X 10.2 or later.

IOS 7, iTunes Match, and downloads to Music -- beware of your first use

I'll explain the situation in a moment. My question for the community is if someone saw a way to avoid this from happening.
I just encountered a perfect storm when I upgraded to ios 7. So far it has cost me $230 in excess data charges.
I am an iTunes Match subscriber.
Before the upgrade to ios 7, ios 6 had an option in Settings -> Music to tell it not to use cellular data. I had cellular data for Music disabled, so many times I'd download a playlist from Match down to my phone and would start this process at home on wifi, leave, and then it would complete later that day when I hit another wifi network.
When I upgraded to ios7, there were some changes in how to control access to cellular data:
(1) Apple removed that control from the Settings -> Music UI
(2) Apple added a menu option called Settings -> iTunes and App Store. In that UI< you have the option of turning iTunes Match on or off, and at the bottom you also have the option enabling cellular data. Just below that, it says "Use cellular data network for automatic downloads and iTunes Match." One of the first things I did after the upgrade, while still on wifi, was turn cellular data off in this UI.
(3) Apple added a UI called Settings -> Cellular, and in there is a UI called "Use Cellular Data For:", and it gives you a list of apps where you can turn cellular on/off for each one individually. Right after the upgrade to ios 7, that list was very short. It didn't have Music or iTunes Match listed, only Mail, Passbook, and a few basic apps.
So after my upgrade, the only place that appeared to control downloads from iTunes Match was the menu in #2, which I had already used to disable cellular data for.
Since I had deleted all my music to make room for the upgrade, I picked a playlist that morning and told my phone to download it. It was about 1GB of music. Then I got on my bike and rode to work woth my phone buried in my bike bag. When I arrived at work, I had a series of text messages from my carrier that I had exceeded my data plan and was now getting charged .25/MB. I was at the very end of a billing month and at the start of my ride only had about 100MB left on my data plan.
So what happened?
Well, as it turns out, the menu for Use Cellular Data For: in #3 above only lists apps once they've used cellular data (except maybe the obvious ones like Mail, Passbook, etc.). And for some bizarre reason, that download wasn't considered "iTunes Match" by ios 7, it was considered a download by the Music app in ios 7. So once I got to work and dug into this, I then found that Music was now listed in the Use Cellular Data For: dialog. So what happened was that I left the house, left wifi, and the phone kept downloading that big playlist on cellular and somewhere, probably right as I was screaming down the hill from my house, the Music app showed up on Use Cellular Data For:. I did some tests with other apps and they only appear on that list AFTER you've used cellular data for them.
Learning this with any other app, or at the beginning of a billing month, would not have been an issue, but my perfect storm of being almost tapped out on my data plan when I left my home wifi network killed me.
I have already contacted my carrier about this, although it's not their fault. I personally think it's Apple's fault for (a) creating a misleading UI for #2 above, and (b) for not listing "Music" in the list of apps in the Use Cellular Data For: dialog immediately after the upgrade.
Anyone else had this problem? If not, and you are an iTunes Match user who has just upgrade to ios 7, you can easily avoid this by downloading one song from cellular to get the Music app to appear in the Use Cellular Data For: list

I am also having problems with smart playlists on OS7 iphone 4s with mountain Lion on my mac
I have two smart playlists, one for music not played in 6 months, the other for zero plays, the other criteria for the lists are media type 'music' and track time ' less than 15 minutes.
These two playlists have 619 items and 108 items respectively in my mac but on the phone it shows 2962 items (for both lists) and a cloud symbol next to the track - although scrolling down, there are some tracks that do not have the cloud symbol - these look like the original 619 and 108 in the lists
Other smart playlists are fine and appear to be not affected

Dreamweaver4 Hangs at Splash Screen on First Use

I recently moved to a new computer with 10 terabytes of hard
drive space and 4 gigs of ram running winXP2 w/sp2.
The computer itself is a generic HP Workstation XW4200 with
an old ATI FireGL graphics card - fairly vanilla.
I installed Dreamweaver4 (yes, DW4 is old but I know it's
quirks and limitations well and
I got the "educational version" free at school so call me
cheap, but anyway..)
then tried to start it up for the first time.
Just past the registration screen it hung at the splash
screen for a loooooooooooooooonnng time (over 15 minutes) and I
figured it was permanently locked up so I shut it down, rebooted,
and tried again with the same result.
I uninstalled and re-installed the program, same result.
I figured maybe something in Windows was conflicting so I
took an hour to do a reinstall of a totally clean version of winxp
sp2 (with nothing else installed).
After installing Dreamweaver 4 for the third time it still
hung indefinitely.
Finally I started googling around and found an obscure
reference on a Linux forum about installing DW4 under wine and
having it hang on initial startup while scanning all drives and/or
looking for Internet Explorer.
So I booted up WinXP in Safe Mode, and set the compatibility
properties to run in Win98 compatibility mode, and tried starting
up dreamweaver.exe yet again.
The cursor goes into hourglass mode for 10 seconds as the
splash screen is displayed, then returns to a normal cursor except
when passing directly over the splashscreen.
Out of curiosity I started a small notepad window and dragged
it momentarily in front of the dreamweaver splash screen window and
when I moved it outside the splash screen window the image of the
notepad window remained --meaning the splash screen was too busy
doing something else to allow a window refresh.
This lead me to focus on a very busily flashing led light
signaling activity for my hard drive array.
It was very busy blinking away even though I shut down
notepad and nothing else was running except dreamweaver (I even
checked Task Manger to make sure no process/thread that involved
the hard drive...like a search indexing..was happening --but
dreamweaver was the only thing banging away at my RAID collection
of internal hard drives).
So I decided to let it run while I watched a TV show and 47
MINUTES later the rest of dreamweaver finally surfaced!!
Was it searching for Internet Explorer?
..or maybe indexing drives/directories for the Site
Manager..who knows?!
But after saving an initial default site and restarting,
dreamweaver took less than 15 seconds to load after that.
To all those running Dreamweaver 4 under WinXP with
multi-terabyte raid collections be warned!
I doubt Adobe will issue a patch around this issue at this
late date but I know I'm not the only one still running DW4 and
after searching for hours in Google I found little or no
documentation for this particular issue so let this thread be it .

Now then Joshua Weeman,
it appears you have fallen foul of one of the first rules: "Never buy top of the line hardware". Get the middle range and your'e in tried and tested territory. Same goes for software. FCP 2 is a beta to all intents and purposes, Color is a fresh port of Final Touch, and again, is a beta program. Spending loads of money on gear does not mean you will get flawless workflow, it just means you spent a huge wad. You can not, in all reasonableness, blindly believe the claims of vendors, even the fine folks at Cupertino ['send to' commands anyone?], they all tell fibs. All software has it's dark nasty little secrets, look up Captain Mench and his fine tutorials to find out more. With the system you have right now you are sorted for years of fun, time to start reading the manuals and the small print, All the information you need is within ten feet of where you are sitting and these fine forums contain anything that isn't.

Elements 11 download won't install.

Elements 11 is hanging and won't complete download installation at the "shared technologies" files (?). Am upgrading from and academic elements 9. Please advise. Thank you.

I ran into this same issue yesterday. It seems the installer does not like "deep directory structures". My downloaded files were quite deep into my personal directories, so I copied them to a temp directory at the root. (C:\Temp_Adobe_Files).
I ran the setup.exe file from there and the installation worked fine.
I actually found that solution (after 6 hours of hair pulling) burried in a bulletin here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-installation-photoshop-elements- premiere.html
Don't do the "clean install process", as it will mess up your system... You will loose a lot of your system customization if you do that. (I found out the hard way and had to go back and reset things I'd customized.)
Instead, scroll down to the section titled:
Error: Shared Technologies have failed to install
It will tell you:
"Note: If you are using a downloaded installer, or running the installation from the hard drive, the Shared Technologies can fail because of the installation path. Copy the installation files to a folder to the root of the drive, such as C:\PSE<versionnumber>Installer\, and rerun the installation."
This solution worked for me.
=======
After I took hours to find this solution, I went back to the initial adobe.com website and just entered "Shared Technologies" in the search field... and was taken right to a link to this article... But that was only "easy" after I had tried working through Adobe's menu system instead. In the future, I will try FIRST to enter the keyword in that very first search field and (hopefully) save myself hours of grief. (Yes... What I'm saying is that the menu system on the Adobe site stinks.)

Adobe premiere elements trial download link not working

can anyone download the trial version? the golden yellow download button is frozen whenever I try to download premiere elements,
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=premiere_elements&loc=en_us

actually, note to other downloaders, when this screen below pops up,
click the link at the top of the pop up downloader to install Akamai downloader,reads : dont see the installer? try reopening it ( you click that link in the download pop up
I was only able to download 252mb of a 1.2 gig file, then had to restart the download the next day because I had used the direct links for file 1 and 2 at the bottom of that initial pop up as can be seen by the two download windows to its right, if you need to resume your download because of lost internet connection or time reasons you`ll have to start again,,
however once akamai has installed automatically, or you downloaded and installed manually, you`ll get this download window when you attempt downloading premiere elements 8 (or any other adobe software).
once the download is complete a golden yellow tab will read "install now" in the akamai downloader window,
unfortunately for me I received the following error on installation, even if trying to install to different folder I get the same error,
trying to manually open the file gets me this error
so far this has been a breeze,
using win7 64bit. quadcore. HP pavillion laptop. shouldn`t matter

Problems installation Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7

I tried to install Photoshop elements 8 on my Windows 7 computer, but the installation gives a failure after a certain time. A file "...cab" is not working and may be corrupt ( exact failure code I can give, if necesary). Is there any possibility to get this file or the program Photoshop Elements 8 as download file so that I can complete the installation? Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hello,
I just got the same problem already some time ago when I tried to install this programm in my computer. At that time (March 2012) the program crashed my computer, I had to reinstall all the Software completely including system software. The program I purchased in December 2011 from Amazon together with a Reflecta crystal Scan slide scanner as bundle, so I thought it will work.
I will try to install the program from the download link you gave me, in case it does not work, what can I do next without having to buy a newer version?

Can't install Photoshop Elements after downloading

I just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements and downloaded it to my new laptop (MacBook Air OS X, 10.7.2). It has apparently downloaded completely but when I click the Install button, I get the message "The following disk images couldn't be opened, invalid checksum". I went back to the software library and downloaded it again, as suggested, and it still didn't work. Please help!

No, I haven't had any problems with other disc images. I checked to see that Photoshop had downloaded completely and it had (.dmg). I don't have an inti-virus program to disable, I restarted the computer and clicked on the installation icon again, and each time that I did that, the same message appeared. I have not yet gotten as far the screen which asks for the registration #.

Hello,
I noticed that there is a log we can refer to:
C:\Windows\CCM\Microsoft.ConfigurationManager.AssetProvider.InstallLog
Since the client software is not installed successfully, I'm not 100% sure if the folder persists.
In addition please check event log. Pay attention to those logs regarding WMI.
