Mac, Download Assistant Problems...

Hi there, I just thought I'd let you guys know that I keep getting this message every time I try to download a trial copy of the master collection CS6 trial for mac:
"Sorry, an error has occurred.
The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author."
BTW, this is for the download assistant that I'm having problems with...
I have gone through your trouble shooting guide and tried everything I could to get your download assistant to work and get the same message??? Am I doing something wrong??
I am the administrator on my computer and this should be real simple but it's not.
Anyway, just thought you should know… If you have an answer for me let me know.
Thanks!
Chris

Adobe Download assistant problem

Purchased CS6 Design and Web Premium. Adobe download assitant seems to have downloaded the files but seems to have gotten stuck or trouble shooting. Loading bar that was complete is not in constant motion moving with text underneath "Extracting... this may take a while". It has been like this for a few hours.
What can i do?

The error 'illegal seek..." indicates your download is corrupt. Please try initiating a direct download using the steps listed in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369.

Mac CS6 Suite Adobe Download Assistant Error 110, 109, 108

Hello,
I am the IT Director for a Small College Campus and we are having problems with the Adobe Download Assistant in regards to downloading the Mac Adobe CS6 Trials. Regarding specifically the Design and Master Suites. I was able to download the Adobe Acrobat Pro XI trial as well as the Photoshop CS6 trial without problem, but when downloading the full Suite trial, I consistantly first get the 110 error, then if I try to restart the download from where it left off, I get an error 109 or 108. The download typically goes fine until the last couple percent, but near the end I get the error and can not restart the download short of starting over completely, in which case the cycle repeats.
I've done everything in Solution 1 of http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html, with no success. I am also able to download the Windows version of the trial suites, inside a Parallels virutal machine running Windows 7 without error, on the same machine that gives me the error for the Mac version. It seems to only affect the Mac downloads. I tested the same download on the same machine, but off-campus and was able to complete the download, so I think it may have to be a communication error in regards to our firewall, but I'm not sure why it would only effect the Mac Suite downloads. Taking down our firewall completely is not an option.
I have tried multiple browsers to start the ADA install from, as well as multiple machines running different operating system versions (Mac 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.7 Lion/10.6 Snow Leopard - I'm not sure exactly which previous version it was) with no success. Both computers were on an Ethernet, hardline connection; no wireless. Any suggestions would be appreciated as our production department is starting a Creative Cloud account and would like to be able to use the download manager instead of the direct download links, from another support topic, I have provided them with for the time being, as they can be difficult to find at times, as well as less reliable.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Creative Cloud uses the Adobe Application Manager as opposed to the Adobe Download Assistant. You are right though the error messages which you are posting indicate a failure of the network connection. Since the same computer works off your college network it does sound like a configuration problem with your firewall configuration.
I would recommend working with the manufacturers of your firewall to determine how to properly allow access. You may also want to review Sign in or activation errors | CS6, CS5.5 Subscriptions, CS6 Perpetual - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html which does provide some guidence for general system related errors.

Error message trying to install Adobe Download Assistant (Sorry an Error has occured... certificate problem)

I am trying to download the free trial of Acrobat XI. I am using an iMac running Mac OSX 10.6.8. When I click on the Installer I have downloaded for Adobe Download Assistant, it gives me the following error message while trying to open/install the Download Assistant:s
Sorry, an error has occured.
The application cannot be installed due to a certificate problem. The certificate does not match the installed application certificate, does not support application upgrades, or is invalid. Please contact the application author.
Can anybody help?

Lmslugo please move your current installation to the trash can, empty the trash, and reinstall. This should give you a new copy of the application with a current certificate.

Error installing Adobe Download Assistant on Mac Yosemite 10.10

I am trying to install trial of elements 13 on Mac Yosemite and getting the following error while installing the Adobe Download Assistant - This application cannot be installed because the installer has been misconfigured. Please contact the application author for assistance. Please help!

I have the same problem with today´s version of Adobe Flash player on Mac OSX 10.6, and with Safari. It works with Firefox 9.0. The problem has been present for versions of Safari and Flash for over 6 months. I am using a MacBook Pro bought in April 2011.

Downloading a trial - problem with the Adobe Download Assistant

Q: What is the Adobe Download Assistant?
A: Trial versions of Adobe Creative Suite, Photoshop Elements, and Adobe Premiere Elements are downloaded using the Adobe Download Assistant — a small application that is meant to improve download reliability and avoid issues that commonly occur during large downloads, such as frequent disconnects. After the trial product is downloaded, Adobe Download Assistant should automatically start installing the product.
Q: I installed the Adobe Download Assistant, but my trial didn't download?
A: Under certain conditions, the Adobe Download Assistant installs but does not immediately start downloading the trial product. If this happens:
1. Quit the Adobe Download Assistant.
2. In your browser, return to the product trial download page on Adobe.com. Refresh the page, then click the Download now button again and follow the prompts.
Important: When you start the download, be sure to select your User folder or Desktop folder. A common cause of errors are due to attempts to download the Adobe Download Assistant to the Program Files/Applications folder. The Adobe Download Assistant only downloads the trial application files. Once the download is complete it will launch the application installer; when the installer is launched you can then choose to install the actual trial application into the Program Files/Application folder.

Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant
or
Adobe Download Assistant FAQ
Q: I've have a problem on Windows 7. The download manager just sits there, and does nothing, even after I navigate back to the trial page. It turns out that you can't install Flash in the Programs folder. You have to pick a different folder for ADA to actually work?
A: You are correct, the Adobe Download Assistant does not have sufficient permission to save files to the Program Files folder. If you run the Adobe Download Assistant as an administrator, or save to a different location (for example, in your Users folder), this should resolve the issue.
Q: When I try and download the Creative Suite Design Premium the Download Assistant opens and I log in. On the top it says "Welcome, User" but on the bottom right below the action bar for the download it says "Sign in ith your Adobe ID to continue" and the action/download bar just sits there. I have quit and restarted numerous times and even left it running all night. Nothing is working though. I have Windows 7 Home Premium and see no error messages.
A: Try opening your browser by right-clicking in the start-programs menu and select "Run as Administrator".
Q: I am trying to download the Premiere trial version onto Windows. I had no issues installing Adobe Download Assistant, however when I tried to log in, it came up with error 100, claiming it could not communicate with the internet.
A: Many of the errors which forum users are experiencing with the download process is due to trying to download to the Program Files/Applications folder. This seems to cause Error 100, 101, 107, and even problems with being able to extract the install files after the download completes. The Adobe Download Assistant is only downloading the install files. Once the download is complete it will then launch the installer. Once the installer itself is launched you can then install to the Program Files/Application folder.
Q: I've tried everything and nothing works. I'm really frustrated and I don't know what else to do. How can I download a trial?
A: Another way to get trials of Adobe software is to sign-up for a Free Creative Cloud Membership. With Creative Cloud Membership you can download full, downloadable 30-day trials of all our CS6 Master Collection straight to your desktop, and store up to 2GB of files. Alternately, you can review http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 which provides information on how to obtain direct downloads.

I have suddenly become computer illiterate... that's the only conclusion I can draw from my total failure to install the Premiere Pro CS6 trial version for Mac.
Step1: I downloaded the Adobe Downloader Assistant installer and installed ADA in the default location (/Applications), which then was followed by said ADA launch. I logged in, selected PP and started a 2 hrs download of a 1.7 GB file.
Step2: I come back after a while and find a nice DVD icon on my Desktop, reading PP CS6: Great! I quit ADA and open that folder, to find another folder in it, with 3 subfolders and an "Install" application. Click on it. Nada. Reclick on it. Same + an error -1704 "can't open application".
Step3-30: I am cutting a long story short, but after reading all the support threads I could find, trying to reinstall ADA on my desktop, relog on the website, restart and cancel PP CS6 download a few times (without ADA noticing that there was already a 1.7 GB corresponding to that same file), and repeatedly failed to launch the install.app, I decided to act stupidely and remove all files and go to:
Step 31: reinstall ADA, re-download PP CS6.
Step 32: I waited after the install, nothing happened so I went to the new PP CS6 "DVD" and found the "install" app, which reliably did not start anything.
Step 33: I rebooted. After the reboot, the DVD was gone, replaced by an empty folder of the same name...
Step 34: me typing all this... I am using a 2011 iMac running Lion and Creative Suite CS 5.5. Thanks for any pointers...

Download Assistant for Mac keeps failing with Error 109

I used to download Adobe products just fine before the "Assistant" requirement. I have the latest Adobe Air, and the latest Assistant. It keeps giving error 109, and I have followed the troubleshooting document to remove the preference file, and cache folder. My network connection is fine, as I am able to download other SW from other sites just fine.
The only thing that may be left is that we use a proxy server, and maybe this download assistant is using a CDN to distribute the download? We whitelist all the IT companies like Adobe, Microsoft, Apple, etc, so that Updates can be applied without authenticating with the proxy, so maybe this utility is using a different URL other than Adobe.com?
I'll have to do some packet sniffing on my end to see exactly what's happening, but it's a bit frustrating that this tool is supposed to make downloading easier, but I have now spent almost an hour on this, and now more time will be spent.
Maybe offering the user an "old fashioned" download through your browser link for times like this?

Hi, Thanks for replying. I ended up using 'WireShark' to 'sniff' my traffic, and was able to extract the direct link of the product:
http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/DSST/CS6/osx10/DesignWebPremium_CS6_LS16.dmg
Unfortunately, that hangs as well. I've tried Chrome, Firefox, and Safari on the Mac. It must be something our proxy doesn't like, because I'm seeing the requests, it's just I never "get anything back".
I've got another network I can try that's for our visitor's to use, which is just a basic DSL connection, with a wide open firewall. That should take our proxy out of the equation, but everything else w do with Adobe works fine with the proxy. We have 12 seats of CS5, and just upgraded to CS6 (hence the download requirement) and I've never had a problem.
(I also did follow that troubleshooting link before I posted this issue)

Migration Assistant: Problems transferring data from PC (XP SP3) to new Mac Pro 2012 - can not get Migration Assistant to work as PC will not display verfify passcode
Hello, I am having problems migrating data from my old PC running XP (SP3) to my new Mac Pro 2012 using the Migration Assistant.
- I downloaded and installed the Windows Migration Assistant from Apple
- My Mac recognized PC and displays passcode
- The sasscode does not show / display on my PC
- My Mac is then stuck in "authenticating" loop and the PC is stuck "waiting for Mac to connect."
- Both computers are connected on same network (have connected PC on WIFI and using ethernet to Reuter)
I have looked on support site and only response I saw says to reinstall Windows Migration Assistant (which I have done)
Any ideas? If cant get this to workare there instructions for manually bring across relevant data eg itunes music and apps, photos, picasa data etc?

Why not turn off the Windows firewall and uninstall any other firewall software you have installed?
If you are using a Norton product uninstall it and discard it. To fully unistall most Norton products you have to go to the Norton website and download a soecial program to completely get rid of it. The normal uninstall feature built into the program will not remove all of it.

What's the problem with Adobe Downloader assistant? It's impossible to download a trial version of

What's the problem with Adobe Downloader Assistant? It's making it impossible to download a trial version of PS 5 extended. I can see that I'm not the only one experiencing difficulties with this so........what's the story Adobe?!!!! If you don't want people to download trial versions of your products then just say so! Or do something about the problem and remove this faulty download.I have a brand new Mac,so it shouldn't be a problem. The Adobe Downloader has been extracting for 2 days now, and I can't shut it off. Very irritating!

If you are having problems with extracting it is likely that you have customized the location of your download. I would recommend downloading to your User folder or Desktop folder. When the download and extraction process are complete you can then install to your Program Files folder.

Why does "Install Adobe Download Assistant" keep failing to run or install on my Mac Pro OS Lion 10.7.5

I get the following message when trying to run the download assistant:

From where are you downloading the Adobe Application Manager? Has it been this one
Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Macintosh : Adobe Application Manager
What version of Premiere Elements Mac are you running on your Mac Pro OS Lion 10.7.5? Or, is it that program that you are trying to install with the Adobe Application Manager?
More later.

Problems with signing in in Download Assistant

Hi,
i'm trying to install a trial version of CS6, dutch version. After dowloading en opening Download Assistent i get stuck everytime. Once opened i'm not able to sign in (nothing happens) or even quit the application. I'm using a mac with mountain lion OS X 10.8.2.
Can someone help me?

You may want to double check the step regarding software firewalls again. The behavior you are describing is exactly what would occur if a software firewall is blocking the Adobe Download Assistant from connecting to the Internet.
You can also initiate a direct download of the software by following the steps listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369. You will likely still need to look at your firewall settings if you have problems obtaining updates.

Can I download music from my PC onto my new iPhone and still have my iPhone use iTunes on my Mac without a problem? I have no music on the Mac because it is new. Can I download music onto iPhone on both PC and Mac?

Can I download music from my PC onto my new iPhone and still have my iPhone sync with my Mac without a problem?
I've had an iPod over a year and have not done much with it except download music onto it from my PC. Just recently have purchased the iPhone. When I got my iPod I didn't have a Mac, but now I do. I am really into my iPhone, so now I want to make sure that I don't do anything wrong. So can I connect my iPhone to both my PC and my Mac without it getting mixed signals and stop working. I have no music on my Mac but plan to download music into iTunes on it. So can I download music from both computers without problems onto my iPhone?

StoneMountainGirl,
No. You can only music to your iPhone from one computer at a time. If you try to load music onto it from a 2nd computer, it will erase the current content on the iPhone and replace it with whats in the iTunes library you are connected to,

Adobe download assistant not supported on this architecture on a mac?

I saw this was posted by someone in march and it was not answered and I have the same error message?

i am running a mac 2.8 GHz i7 with OSX ver 10.7.4 and all other mac software (safari etc) up to date as of today.
I purchased nearly $600 worth of adobe products that I canot install. Specifically, the Akamai download assistant (net session installer) will not install. I have also tried the alternate (direct file download) method, again without being able to install. I am not a novice user, however I wonder how much experience is necessary to overcome poorly executed software.
thoughts?
