Installed InDesign on computer but it won't open - just keeps trying to install

I have gone over this process all day now, the program says that it is downloaded... it appears on my desktop. When I open the icon, it goes to another installation progress page which takes 15 or so minutes to go thru and then just closes. I have seriously tried everything... any ideas?

Mary,
Did you decompress the downloaded files? You may be seeing the decompression rather than the actual installation.
I haven't downloaded the package, but typically you will get a Windows executable file which is a compressed archive of the actual installer package. Double-clicking the icon starts the decompression routine which puts the package in a folder somewhere on your system (you may or may not be asked where to put it). You then need to find the installer in the decompressed package.

P.S., are you the Mary I know from Cape Cod?

TS2972 I downloaded text me ap from the itunes store onto my computer but it won't open, how do I use it?

Hello I just downloaded "text me" ap from the itunes store to my desktop computer, but it won't open!! How do I use it? I tried right clicking and double clicking but nothing happens... Please advise.

If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within, I think, about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

Hi I have downloaded compressor4 from Apps store but it won't open - says compressor not properly installed. The reason for my purchase was that compressor 3 stopped working. I tried to reinstall from the FCP disk but it was 'greyed out'.

Hi I have downloaded compressor4 from Apps store but it won't open - says compressor not properly installed. The reason for my purchase was that compressor 3 stopped working. I tried to reinstall from the FCP disk but it was 'greyed out'. I followed suggestions from the apple site to clear various library files - mainly relating to Qmaster but this didn't make any difference, an iwonder igf perhaps this is the reason for the compressor 4 programme not working. Thanks

You need to export a self-contained video from FCP 6. Import the self-contain video into Compressor 4.

Why not? We can not see you so you have to give us details
Did you run the iPhoto Library upgrader after you installed it - if not backup your iphoto library and go to the utilities folder in your Applications folder and double click on the iphoto library upgrader and RUN i - then launch iphoto 9.6 to complete the upgrade

For unknown reasons iTunes will no longer open. I have an HP laptop running windows 7 with Kaspersky protection. It worked fine before but now won't open. I tried downloading the most recent up-date and it will still not open. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply with additional information.
Recent history for Premiere Elements points to the program having problems when more than 1 video card/graphics card is
being used by the computer on which Premiere Elements is running. This observation may seem contra indicated by the fact
that you say that the program did work well about 2 years ago in the same setup. But other factors may have set in with regard
to drivers, drivers versions, and driver conflicts. But this factor, does need to be ruled in or out.
Can you disable one or the other card to determine the impact of this on your problem?
But, of prime concern with regard to video card/graphics card is the use of a NVIDIA GeForce card with Premiere Elements 10.
Even if your NVIDIA GeForce were the only card, Premiere Elements 10 will not work properly unless the NVIDIA GeForce driver
version is rolled back to about May 2013. This may be one of the major factors here.
a. Device Manager/Display Adapters and find out Driver Version and Driver Date
b. Read the background information for the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
Also see the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the matter - also with full details of the situation and how to fix with the
driver version roll back.
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
Thanks.

Add On...This NVIDIA GeForce situation is specific for Premiere Elements 10. You should not expect to see the problem for
later versions of Premiere Elements.

I have Photoshop Elements 7.0 that was loaded onto my new computer but it won't open.

I have Photoshop Elements 7.0 that was loaded onto my new computer but it won't open

Hi,
If it doesnt work after applyign patch try the below solutions:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.

HT204347 OS X has failed to install and now it asks to restart but it just keeps trying to install and I can't quit it.

OS X has failed to install on my macbook pro and now it keeps trying to install when the computer restarts and I cannot get back to how it was and ditch the upgrade! Can you tell me how to do this please?

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

FCP won't open after I tried to install trial software

I downloaded a trial copy of master perfection suite and another Bias product just to check it out. Now Final Cut Pro won't open - it brings up a box that gives me the option to authorize, continue etc, but when i do anything, the box just appears again. I have to Force Quit FCP since everything's grayed out. I've trashed prefs, repaired permissions, restarted but it hasn't helped.

Come on, you've been on the board long enough, You should know better. When you have a stable OS/Application combo, clone your startup drive. This way you can quickly restore your system to it's previous state.<<<</div>
Actually, I didn't know this. I'll have to look into how to do this.
I called Bias tech support - they were great. The suggestion to remove the files from the plugin folder was close - there was a 'components' folder in there as well that needed to go. Once that was removed, I restarted and FCP opened without a problem.

When I touch my App Store, it starts Loading but won't open, just keeps loading.

Itunes won't open. I deleted Itunes and reinstalled it. Itunes won't open. I restarted my computer. Itunes won't open. I tried holding down Shift and Control when trying to open it. Itunes won't open. I AM SO FRIGGIN ****** OFF RIGHT NOW!

Hello MADASHELL999,
Thank you for providing the details of issue you have with iTunes not launching. I would be concerned about this too.
You have taken some really good troubleshooting steps already to address this issue. I found an article with a few additional steps you can take to further isolate and troubleshoot an issue like the one you described:

Failed installation that just keeps trying to install continually, on shut down.

How do I get this installation to stop trying. Everytime I shut my computer down, it goes into "downloading 2 of 2 updates ...". I unplug my computer as the "download" keeps running until the power for my computer is all gone.
Usually have to leave overnight before I can turn computer on again.
Don't want to have to force shutdown everytime I want to shut down my pc. And I don't think this update/download is important to me.
HELP :o}}}}
The 2 downloads that failed are:
1) Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime (KB3001652), and
2) Windows 7 Service Pack 1 for x64-based Systems (KB976932)

Hello, Betty Boop Me.
Your issue is not with Visual Studio setup (this forum's topic), but with Windows Update.

I have a iPhone 4 S 16 GB. I cannot connect to my home Wi Fi. I tried several of the things I saw out here and it's still not working. It just keeps trying to connect over and over but never conencts.

I have a iPhone 4 S 16 GB. I cannot connect to my home Wi Fi. I tried following some suggestions I saw out here but nothing helps. It just keeps trying and trying to connect.

You didn't say what you have already tried, but if you haven't already done so, power-cycle your router (unplug it for 15 seconds then plug it back in), then on your phone go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset Network Settings, then try joining your wifi again.

I am trying to install a trail for InDesign CC to finish a project soon. I downloaded Creative Cloud, the app is in my folder, but it won't open and when I try to download InDesign an error pops up saying Adobe is trying to install malware.

I just installed Creative Cloud in order to download a trial for InDesign. I have the app icon for CC, but it won't open. When it was in my toolbar (on a mac) it just sat there loading for about 15 minutes. I tried restarting it but it won't open at all now. I also tried downloading an InDesign trail and it won't open at all. When I click for it to download an error message pops up saying Adobe is trying to instal malware and asks me if I want to continue. When I say yes, it doesn't do anything. I have a brochure that needs to go to the client by 4pm today! EEK!

Sydneybling it does sound like your security software is interfering with the process of installing and utilizing your Adobe Creative applications. I would recommend that you try temporarily disabling your security software and utilizing the directions listed at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html to install InDesign CC.
