Master Collection CS6, Acrobat Pro X Ghost Install... (Mac)

So you know when you do a ghost poo, as in you do a poo and when you check the toilet and it's not there, well that's what the CS6 Master Collection Installer is doing with Acrobat Pro on my Mac (OSX Mountain Lion).
I run the installer and it says it's installed but then when you look in the Applications folder it's not there. I've tried setting the install location to a different address and creating that folder using the installer but still no love. Any ideas?
I've been having a lot of problems in the past few days with the latest version of the Master Collection which has cost me huge hours I've lost more than a day redownloading all the software after the Application Manager stopped wanting to load and so stopped me from using my license on CS6 software versions which were installed originally as trials (then it took me a while to realise that Acrobat XI wasn't included with the Master Collection, which should be called the Substandard Collection if it doesn't have the latest versions of each software package). Since someone at Adobe didn't think of offering a separate download link for just Acrobat X (unlike every other package on that download page on a non-Adobe.com site which I linked to from an official Adobe page http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html), I've since spent 14hrs waiting for the absolutely massive CS6 installer package to find out that Acrobat won't work now (I did have Acrobat Pro 8/CS3 but it's custom file system windows don't work on Mountian Lion, great programming there guys).
And someone make a stable version of Fireworks that doesn't crash every time you're doing something mundane. If there was decent alternatives I would be switching, Adobe buying Macromedia was bad for the industry, the monopoly means they can continue to do such a bad job with their software that we can't do much else but keep using it.

I followed the help ideas, did some of them (some folder renaming, uninstall Adobe Air and then went to Adobe to D/L the new installer and installed it again, and again trying to resart in Safe Mode)... Nothing did the trick...
Then, while still in Safe Mode, after one failure, I opened the main, "Adobe CS6 Design Standard" folder again. I started snooping around, opening the other folders, and in the Payloads folder found whole bunch of software "stuff"... See below, the very first was an Acrobat folder that included the Installer.pkg. So, what the heck, I already spent hours on this, I double-clicked it, and BINGO, it installed the program w/o any issues... I did a regular restart, and the program is working...
...Not sure what you or any Adobe expert would make out of it, but it seems like an easy workaround, so it seems....

  • Installed CS6 Master Collection. ACROBAT PRO X not working!!

    I just downloaded CS6 Master Collection (with Serial #) on my new laptop- Dell Precision M4800 (32 GB ram, 256 SSD, NVIDIA K2100M, Windows 7 Pro (64-bit).
    All apps downloaded but Acrobat Pro X.
    I tried using the Acrofix, but it doesn't even open. I downloaded it and it doesn't run. I've also uninstalled, restarted my laptop, and re installed.. nothing seems to be working with Acrobat X.
    Anyone know how I can install Acrobat Pro X??
    thanks!

  • Installing Master Collection CS6 -- "EAccess Violation" error message

    I bought a copy of Master Collection CS6 through my graduate school's online "bookshop."
    I have been running into problems installing it for about 3 weeks.
    I received a License Key for Adobe (but have yet to use it due to the inability to install my copy of CS6). I also received instructions on how to download the product (which I followed). I have a Window's computer and have downloaded both the .exe and .7z files onto my computer multiple times. No problem downloading. Free space on my computer is also not an issue. I have also tried to install the files in multiple folders on my computer (desktop, program folders, etc) with the downloaded files and the install-folder in the same place. I have tried to install the files as an Administrator (which I am anyway). But to no avail.
    When I go to download the program, the first error message that comes up is...
    Again, this is not an issue.
    Then I get:
    I have downloaded Adobe CS6 Master Collection multiple times in the past 3 weeks.
    Then I get this message (sometimes not always):
    I spoke to an individual in the IT department at my school and she thinks it is an issue with Adobe/ the download provided via my school from Adobe, not my computer.
    Suggestions?

    I will try doing the initial download to another location on my computer. Again, though, I've downloaded to a certain place on my computer (all downloads go directly to my Desktop), then moved the files to another folder (Program folders, Adobe sub-folder) in order to try to install it there to see if it works there instead.
    I've already defragmented my drive and removed stray temp files. I did this between either download 1 and download 2, or download 2 and download 3 (again, I've downloaded these files multiple times and have gotten the same results).

  • Lightroom install from Master Collection CS6 to Win 8.1

    I've recently upgraded my computer and now have a PC running Windows 8.1 that is much faster.  I installed my Master Collection CS6 that was running on my Win 7 PC.  Everything but Lightroom has installed properly.  It was on my win 7 pc with the exact same install (copied it from my other pc) with Lightroom but now I can't find the program.  Has anyone had the same problem or know the solution.
    Thank you

    If you know what version of LR you got with the CS-MC – LR 3, LR 4, LR 5, then you can download any of the LR updates from the Adobe Updates page:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates
    You would need a serial number for the same LR series (3, 4, 5) to activate what you download and install from the updates page.

  • Installing Master Collection CS6

    I am trying to install Master Collection CS6 from a netowrk install, each attempt ends with only four programs beening installed: Photoshop, extension manager, extendscript toolkit and bridge. I have been told that there is something that is blocking the complete install, but no one knows what it that is blocking the install. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi jamsallen,
    Please try copying the entire CS6 Master Collection setup on your local hard drive and then try installing it. It should work.

  • Since installing CS6, Acrobat Pro X fails I had to reinstall it a few times, now doesn't work

    Since installing CS6, Acrobat Pro X failed a few times. I had to reinstall it a few times, now doesn't work at all even after installing again.

    Hi there
    Thank you for your reply.
    When I click on the link for the cleaner however, before I can download the
    file, it gives me this message:
    "Important - This tool is not for use with any creative suite products
    including suites that contain Acrobat. It can only be used with standalone
    versions of Acrobat and Adobe Reader"
    Adobe X Pro forms part of my Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard?
    Please advise.
    Thanks

  • Can't  find  Caflisch Pro anywhere on my Windows 7 home Prem. I purchased Master Collection CS6.

    Can't  find  Caflisch Pro anywhere on my Windows 7 home Prem. I purchased Master Collection CS6.  I looked in all of windows.  Is it hidden or compressed.  I looked at this site http://www.designgeek.com/guide-adobe-css-free-fonts
    Says I should have it.   I have registered my product with Adobe.
    Also where do I get the "registration gifts"?
    Please help!

    The font which were provided earlier with CS2 and CS3 were different.
    Refer to the link to know which all fonts are included with the Standard installation and as goodies with CS6.

  • Unable to enter serial number for Master Collection CS6 Upgrade

    I recently purchased a Master Collection CS6 upgrade (from 5.5). My CS6 serial number was correctly recognised but it said it couldn't find any software eligible for the upgrade despite Master Collection CS5.5 being installed on my PC (running Windows 7 Ultimate). The screen to enter the serial number of the eligible software doesn't have Master Collection CS5.5 in the drop-down, only CS5. Using that option with my CS5.5 serial number doesn't work. I got no response to a case opened on the support site.
    In order to install the CS6 software, I then installed it as a trial version. I now get reminders that I only have x days to go but there is no option to enter my serial number. I assume it thinks I've got a trial version of Creative Cloud.
    Adobe Support keep closing cases raised on the spurious grounds that I haven't responded. It is they that are not responding! Anyone able to help?
    Thanks in anticipation.

    if the serial number has been used, you won't be able to use that serial and that's the only thing you purchased.

  • Does anyone know about Master Collection CS6 performance problems on OSX Mountain Lion?

    I have a 15" MBP (late 2011) and I'm having some poor performance problems even after a clear install, reindexing the system and fixing all permission errors in Disk Utility. I have some suspicions about compatibility problems with Adobe Master Collection CS6 cause those are the programms I always work with and in wich I have experienced a bad performance.
    Hardware test says everything is fine. Any sugestion?

    Guys, I suffered the same problem for 4 days.  I am on the new MBP Pro Retina Display + Mountain Lion 16GB Ram, etc...
    I first thought it was to do with retina display however no, that is not the case.
    SOLUTION (sounds odd but works):
    The only way I found to fix it, is setting photoshop to use the East Asian text engine instead of the Middle East one. (Prefs -> Type -> East Asian). Then restart Photoshop.

  • If I uninstall Master Collection CS6 Trial will this affect my Prod Premium CS6 Suite

    I recently purchased the Production Premium CS6 Suite.  Prior to this I did a Master Collection CS6 Trial install.  Now every time I click on a PDF, the MS Trial Ended window opens.  My question is: if I uninstall the Master Collection cs6 trial, will this affect my Production Premium cs6 Suite???

    dddavies, The reason for you getting that Trial window is that your Acrobat might be still associated with the Master Collection CS6 Trial. So, uninstalling Master Collection will be the right step. Either way, you can uninstall Master Collection CS6 trial at anytime. Doing that will not affect your Production Premium CS6 suite.
    So, go for it.
    Hope that answers your questions.
