Lightroom 4 disk error - 'disk is blank'  cannot download - unreliable internet, large file

  I have raised this yesterday and Hal thought the Lightroom 4 disk might be blank & suggested that I download Lr4 from from the website.  I can sort of accept a disk might be blank but think it unlikely as the disk arrived with all packaging and all seals intact - FedEx from USA.
I am unable to download the software from the internet as our connection is too unreliable (we are on a farm) & despite antennae on the roof etc the signal drops out so you can wind up paying for a lot of 'failed to complete' downloads. You still pay for the partial.
I have contacted Adobe and they were unable to help - sent me to Tech Support by phone is Aus. They are not available on the weekend.
I am wondering if there is any clever trick for getting a Mac OS 10.7.5 installed to read the disk?  The drive does read other disks fine so I don't think it is the drive.
Cheers,
Kristin

you should be able to use finder to check your cd's contents.  you should have lr for mac and pc on that disk or two different disks on for the mac.   make sure if you have two, you're using the mac cd.

  • I am trying to sync my 160gb, but get an error message "the ipod cannot be synced. a duplicate file name was specified. it only syncs a small % of music.  any clues?

    i am trying to sync my 160gb, but get an error message "the ipod cannot be synced. a duplicate file name was specified. it only syncs a small % of music.  any clues?

    Hmm.  It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

    If necessary, post the resultings numbers and we can verify what the next steps to take.

  • My iOS customers cannot download the video clips I send via Adobe Send "Safari cannot download this type of file"

    My customers who use iOS cannot download the video files I send by Adobe Send "Safari cannot download this type of file" is the report they get. I have tried created a zip file of the clip but get the same result. Please help

    This error seems to point at a problem not directly related to the encoding. The message might be misleading but I read "Safari cannot download this type of file" as relating to the file type - the end of the name (perhaps MIME type setup, but let's start with the file type).
    But... some web searching finds others say that iOS cannot download files AT ALL because it has no filing system you can access. Clearly (?) you just want it to show the movie, but I don't know any more than that.
    Perhaps someone else has worked in this area. Also worth trying suitable iOS forum.

    Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
    For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
    And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

  • I cannot download an attachment larger than 7 mb on my ipad

    I just bought a new IPad 3 with 16 GB of memory. I get an error message "Cannot Download Attachment" when I try to open any email attachment larger than 7 mb. My boss is able to successfully download 13mb attachments. What's is wrong with my IPad 3? Is there a setting I can set. I have about 13 GB of free storage on the IPad

    Are you both using the same mail provider? some have caps on data you can download/send. For example at work I'm capped at 13 megs or so, but I can send and receive 25 megs with yahoo.

  • I get error messages that Syncing cannot download

    Itunes - slow to load - then freezes as waiting for Sync - error on sync availability.

    Many thanks diesel.  I cannot remember ever having an administrator password. Looks like I shall have to do a restore on my PC and not bother with the updates.  Or maybe I could find my password from somewhere ? When I went into control panel I found a box with administrator and my name and it said password protected so I must have had one at some time. Any ideas on how I could find it ? Many thanks anyway. I always use a password to sign on but obviously that is not it.  Eileen

  • Unknown error in App Store Cannot download updates.

    Saw that issue has be raised before but could not find a solution. Trying to update some apps, get this message: "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)" Checked that my Apple ID, password, etc. are correct. Using Mountain Lion 10.8.5, on iMac, version of App store is q.2.2. Help needed. Stuck. Thanks

    If you haven't already done so, sign out of the App Store and sign back in. If there's no change, log out or restart the computer and try again.

    iTunes for Windows: iTunes Store connection troubleshooting

    If the issue persists after following the above article, you may want to follow the "Windows" section of this resource:

  • What is error 111111?  I cannot download any song.  Same for both computers

    One computer is XP and the other Vista. So there is no issue with Vista.
    The older, XP, computer worked fine until recently, so I doubt it's any type of conflict. The newer one I have never made a purchase on. (First attempt results in above error message.)
    Error 111111 says to please try again later, but that never helps. Have made several attempts.
    The store said I have two accounts and to authorize both of them. Did that and still get the same error.

    Just to be clear - I just bought a new song and can't download it into the library because of this error message.
