Most of Adobe Trials don't work.

Most of the adobe trials do not work on either of my two computers (both with xp and all of the latest updates, etc.) They say that the trial version has run into problems forcing me to select 'buy now'. I have called Adobe numerous times on this issue but no one has helped. I am starting to seriously think that Adobe is doing this on purpose so people will just buy the software.

>I am starting to seriously think that Adobe is doing this on purpose so >people will just buy the software.
Certainly not. Please give credit to the fact that, while the developers and we as Beta testers give our best to make this a smooth ride for everyone, nobody on this planet can predict and test all possible driver combinations, hardware items and potential user error.
So please provide some more info: Are you installing with administrative priviliges? Are the disks you are trying to install to properly anchored in your system? do they use dedicated RAID/ SATA or whatever drivers? Do you install to the default directories? What is your OS language setting? What Adobe software is on your system and did you try to install before?
It would also help, if you could provide some info from the install logs or the logs themselves. On Windows systems, they can be found under:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\adobe\Installers
Just let us know which operations are tagged as "failed".

  • Adobe flash don't work in lion

    adobe flash don't work in lion

    I Already tried that. Even tried uninstall and reinstall! Ialso tried uninstall and reinstall of reader then uninstall and reinstall of flash. There is another display quirk with Lion , if I let my mbp go to sleep without logging out or shutting down, I get the last screen frozen. I have to use the curser to erase the area where the login icon is, then I can enter the login pw and get the mbp to be functional again! There are a number of other display related sizes and parameters that randomly happen since lion was installed. UNSTABLE is a good description here !

    That is because you are using a trial... buy the program and you do not have a "watermark" on your output

  • Quicktime and new Adobe flash don't work!!

    Ever since I have ? downloaded new iTunes/Quicktime updates I cannot get Quicktime to play any movie trailers. Also, when I go to any sites which need a Flash player, I am unable play any flash related videos. To add further frustration, I am unable to download the new Adobe flash player. It "downloads," but goes nowhere on my computer and is nonfunctional!! I feel like because I have an "old" Mac with Panther (which otherwise works great!), I am slowly being phased out of all the new downloads as they often either don't work or screw up my system. Help!!

    Hi again Stephen,
    That's great! I'm glad that that got you back on the track.
    I personally Repair Permissions about once a week or so (though the need to is highly debated here in Discussions).
    You might be interested in having a look at About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    Always Repair Permissions from Disk Utility on you HD before and after any Software Update/Upgrade for trouble free downloads.
    Glad I was able to help and thank-you for the courtesy of extending the Solved star!
    good luck,

  • Adobe programs don't work on Win7 x64 with IE8 x32

    I have been working for the last 2 hours trying to get adobe flash 10.1 downloaded and installed on Win7 x64 and IE8 x32.  It downloads and crashes and never finishes the install, even though sometimes the adobe site tells me it's installed.  when I access a website it asks to download the flash player each and every time.
    Mind you I don't have a lot of time to troubleshoot and fix adobe issues.  I have clients to take care of and if your not going to make  your product easier to use then I will block all adobe flash sites from my clients computers.  Needless to say this will make them angry at me but let me tell you I don't forgive.  I will bash you each and every time a client calls me.

    I don't understand - in your post you mention "new Flash Player" several times, but in the subject you mention 10.2...?
    What is the exact FP version you have?
    For your blue box problem, have you tried to disable Hardware Acceleration?

  • Quicktime Applets and Adobe Reader don't work in Safari

    If I am on a website that requires Quicktime, Adobe Reader or an applet, nothing works. With Quicktime the only thing that appears is the scroll bar with sound but no movie, with Adobe Reader or an applet the only thing that comes up is the logo. I have re-installed the plug-ins but still nothing. I have 3 Mac Pros in my small office and one at home and it is the same on all computers. I have to use Firefox which works great. I am running Leopard 10.5.3.
    Any suggestions?
    Rob

    I tried Lynda.com and it has a script that causes Flash 9 to run slowly, so I aborted that. Apple.com doesn't play trailers for me, either; it doesn't even show any link is active on the trailers, so that could be a coding issue specific to Safari, as Camino and Firefox don't pose any problem.
    Safari has the ability to view PDFs without any plug-ins. You can disable the Acrobat Reader plug-in either by removing it from ~/Library/InternetPlug-Ins, or launching Acrobat Reader, go to Preferences>Internet and uncheck the box labeled "Display PDF in browser using…"; then quit Acrobat Reader and Safari, relaunch and try again.

  • After Migration to new MacBook Air 10.7 Lion, Adobe Pro don't work

    Just migrated from MacBook to MacBook Air.  My Adode Pro kept saying it is part of another suite.  After opening the PhotoShop, it will still not work.  I had deactivated CS 5 Suite on the old system and activated it on the Air.

  • Links to other Adobe files don't work

    My Adobe document contains links to other Adobe files.  When I select the "bookmarks" function, the bookmarks show, but when I select one, it doesn't follow the link to the other file.  Why?

    Our bookmarks actions only follow internal links for now. We do support external HTML link annotations if they are in the page content, but we do not support them as bookmarks. This is something we've considered adding, but it hasn't made it to the top of our priority list quite yet. Thank you for asking - we'll take your interest as a request for this capability.

  • I can log into hotmail using firefox, but I can't read any of my emails, and most of the links don't work either.

    I can't read any emails in my msn account. I'm using Firefox 4.0.1. Every time I click on one, it acts like it's reloading the page, but nothing happens. It happens when I click on links to my folders as well. It works fine in Google Chrome though. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I'm having the same issues, running Firefox 3.6.
    After downloading Windows Updates for Vista, Hotmail has stopped working.
    I can log on, but can't click on any messages.
    None of the buttons work at all in Hotmail; it's completely frozen.
    I have to log on using Internet Explorer.
    I had the same problems with Firefox 4.0; Norton 360 wouldn't work properly with it, so I deleted it, and went back to Firefox 3.6.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Adobe Flash & Javascript don't work even though Enabled

    Ever since what I think was either a Firefox upgrade (I don't know which one) or installation of Quicktime, my Adobe Flash Plugin is perpetually crashed and I cannot play any Flash content on any website. All that displays in place of the video is a gray screen with the sad-face Lego icon and the message: “The Adobe Flash Plugin has crashed. Please reload the page to try again.” (See attached image.) But it will not resolve when reloaded.
    No Flash videos on any sites work. HTML5 videos work on YouTube when tested, but non-HTML5 videos won't work.
    Also, my Javascript does not seem to be working since at least some displays requiring javascript don't work. Sometimes the display just doesn't work, and sometimes I get a message that javascript is disabled and must be enabled, but it is already enabled (set to “true” in about:config).
    I have spent days scouring every help forum entry I can find on troubleshooting Flash Player and Javascript. Everything on my end seems to be in order and I cannot find or fix either problem. I think it is possible the issue could have its roots in the fact that Javascript seems to not be working which may be preventing Flash Player content from working...??
    Also, Flash content does work in I.E. but not in Firefox (I do not have Chrome installed so did not test in Chrome). I have too many window tabs open in Firefox and can't switch to I.E. (nor do I like to use I.E.).
    PLEASE HELP as this is crippling for very important work deadlines I have.
    This is what else I know and have tried:
    I have a Toshiba Satellite C75D-A Laptop;
    Processor: AMD A6-5200 APU with Radeon HD Graphics; x64; 2.00 Ghz;
    RAM: 8 MB;
    OS: 64-bit system; Windows 8.1 (but some auto-check utilities detect it as 8.0 because it was upgraded.);
    Graphics Card: “Desktop Graphics” System – AMD Radeon HD 8400 (0x9830);
    Installed Graphics Driver Version: AMD 13.352.1004.1007 (Driver Date: 4/22/2014)
    My Device Manager graphics driver updater states: “driver software is up to date.”
    From the AMD website: the graphics driver auto-detect utility recommended the AMD Catalyst Driver (amd-catalyst-omega-14.12-without-dotnet45-win8.1-64bit.exe) I tried installing this driver, but it won't install. After trying to install, I got a message stating: “We are unable to find a driver for your system.” But Device Manager states I have a current driver, and my graphics card & driver seem to be working fine, so I do not believe this is part of the issue.
    I am using Latest Firefox version 35.0.1; and
    Using Latest Flash Player: 32-bit NPAPI Plug-in Version: 16.0.0.296; designated: “always activate” (Downloaded new update several times, including fresh install after uninstall; system & web address icons indicate Flash is enabled).
    I turned off hardware acceleration in FF Tools>Options>Advanced>General
    I disabled WebGL as explained here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
    I am using Ad-Block Plus which has never affected things in the past. I have not tried starting FF in Safe Mode because I believe I will lose all open tabs and not be able to recover them (I may have over 200 open). But disabling add-ons has no effect (I disabled all except for Sessions Manager in case of a crash). (My No-Script has been disabled for at least six months.)
    I have Windows Media Player and Quicktime installed.
    Quicktime is most recent upgrade (7.7.6) so should not be a problem according to:
    “QuickTime plugin takes over Flash” at:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Disabling_Protected_Mode_in_Flash_11.3
    (note underscores in place of spaces in string; underscores not insertable here)
    Disabling Quicktime had no effect in the prior version of FF (ver. 35.0), but in latest FF ver. 35.0.1, Flash videos only display a plain (blank) gray screen instead of the sad-faced icon and crash message.
    (I tried to uninstall Quicktime altogether, but was not able to due to Error codes 2502 & 2503. I tried troubleshooting that as well with no luck using methods successful for other programs, including here:
    http://www.fixkb.com/2014/01/error-2503-and-2502-when-uninstalling-on-windows-8.html;
    & here:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-winapps/re-internal-error-codes-2502-and-2503-for/ba5f2145-aa6e-4cc0-81a7-e4346f43b698.)
    Disabling my FF theme and using the default brought back the sad-faced icon and crash message in the place of videos on some YouTube pages, but not other YouTube pages (where video was still blank gray screen). It also enabled a still Flash image (an ad) to display on a different website page that previously had a Flash Plugin crash message. I have been using this same theme for a couple of years without previous issue. While turning it off did generate an effect on some still imagery, it didn't fix the video problem.
    I tried Disabling Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 as explained here:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Disabling_Protected_Mode_in_Flash_11.3
    (note underscores in place of spaces in string; underscores not insertable here).
    It did not solve the issue.
    I also deleted all storage & data in Flash Player as advised. This had no effect either.
    I've tried all solutions I've been able to find and am at a loss for what to try next. Please help and advise ASAP. Thank you!!

    Since it was working for some youtube videos and not others, there might be an issue with a particular video codec. DO you have OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. plugin?
    Is it possible to try Safe Mode after saving your session with [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/ Session Manager Addon]? IT would test hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    </blockquote>
    Thank you, guigs2! Sorry for my delayed reply...I didn't realize I hadn't gotten back to you. Update is that I did try a whole slew of other troubleshooting steps including starting FF in safe mode, to no avail. However, I was FINALLY (after months) able to solve this problem just today by pure chance!
    The problem was that hardware acceleration was enabled in the Flash settings. I had not been able to turn it off because I didn't have access to the Flash Player settings as long as the crash error message was visible, which was all the time! Today, by a sheer fluke, I saw a static picture in place of the crash message on a Flash video. I snagged the opportunity to call up the settings and turn off hardware acceleration, and it fixed the problem for my whole browser! This has been a frustrating issue because I did not have access to the settings utility as long as I had the crash message, which was always, so my Flash was crippled without the ability for me to fix it until pure luck gave me this window of opportunity.
    Does anyone know another way to access the settings utility if this ever happens again in the future? I could not find a way. (Incidentally, I had tried disabling hardware acceleration via my graphics driver settings, but it didn't fix the problem.) We need Adobe to allow some other way to access the Flash Player settings utility when this problem arises since they aren't accessible when there is a static crash message.
    Thanks again!

  • Unable to save LiveCycle PDF form in Adobe Reader: Steps on Adobe don't work

    I went to follow the steps provided in the help video on Adobe. Two issues I couldn't solve:
    How do you login to LiveCycle via the web as an admin? How do you get to the LiveCycle admin portal?
    The local host (http://localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions) is unavailable. Every time I try to go there I get a 500 error message page. What is the new local host?
    The steps I followed were:
    So according to a video on its official website, in order to enable LiveCycle forms in Reader so they can be saved you need an Adobe Reader Extension which means we need a Reader Extension Credential loaded onto the server. For that you need to purchase a Reader extension license from Adobe.
    However, there is a trial version Eric or Jay could instal for me on the Remote Desktop. They can find it at:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle.html
    They will want to download the “Trial Reader Extensions Certificate” under “Downloads and updates”. It’s a 30 day trial which should work fine for our needs.
    The credential then needs to be imported into the Adobe Administrator. To do that they need to:
    Login to LiveCycle as an admin (via the web?)
    Go to “Settings"
    Go to “Trust store management”
    Go to “Local credentials”
    Click “Import"
    Trust store type should be “Reader Extensions Credential”
    Give it a name (i.e. Alias)
    Browse to credential file
    .pfx is the credential file
    .txt is the password
    Right-click the .txt
    Click “Open”
    Copy password from notepad
    Close notepad
    Open the .pfx file
    Paste in password copied from .txt file under “Password” in import form
    Click OK
    Then there’s something about going to Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions program (http://localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions). Don’t ask. I’m personally lost at this point.
    In Extensions program they need to:
    Select the Extensions credential
    Click the check box next to
    “Basic form fill-in”
    “Import and export data”
    “Submit outside of web browser”
    “Database and web service connectivity”
    “Digital Signatures”
    “Commenting”
    “Online Commenting"
    Set “Draft Level” to “Final”
    Click the check box next to “Full Save”
    “Browse” to the SNAP Survey I created and saved on the server.
    Click “Apply”
    In new window that appears:
    Click “Download”
    Save back to the server

    If you're on the machine that's running LC the administrator console is http://localhost:8080/adminui
    If you're not able to get to localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions then I suspect the LiveCycle server is not on your machine.  If that's the case you'll have to find out the name of the server running LiveCycle and connect using that name instead of localhost.
