Problem Installing Air on 2 Macs

I'm having a problem installing Air on 2 macs. The symptoms are the same - the installer launches and nothing else happens.
Configuration 1:
Macbook Pro (Feb 2008); 2.5 GHz; MacOS 10.6.3
Configuration 2:
PowerMac G5; dual 2.5 GHz; MacOS 10.5.8
Both computers have Design Premium CS3 installed, in case that matters.
Here's the log off of the laptop:
Performing runtime install
UI SWF load is complete
UI initialized
starting user confirmation
Version of this installer: 1.5.3.9130
Installation type: new
And there it stays. The installer is running and I can choose Quit from its menu. It looks like it's waiting for user authentication, but the dialog never appears. Since the symptoms on both are the same, I'm guessing that whatever the cause is something common to both computers. I've had no problems installing Flash or any other program. This looks to be specific to Air.
FWIW, I tried installing the beta of Air 2.0 hoping that might work. No difference! Here's that log (from Console):
4/8/10 2:55:22 PM Adobe AIR Installer[1488] Performing runtime install
4/8/10 2:55:22 PM Adobe AIR Installer[1488] UI SWF load is complete
4/8/10 2:55:22 PM Adobe AIR Installer[1488] UI initialized
4/8/10 2:55:22 PM Adobe AIR Installer[1488] starting user confirmation
4/8/10 2:55:22 PM Adobe AIR Installer[1488] Version of this installer: 2.0.0.11670
4/8/10 2:55:22 PM Adobe AIR Installer[1488] Installation type: new
The only difference is when I quit out the version 2 installer, a crash report is generated. I can post that if anyone thinks it would help.
Any suggestions?

Could you please tell us where the "ar" binary is located?
i.e. output of following command
$ which ar

Problem install PSE11 with a MAC OS disc on MACBook Air

problem install PSE11 with a MAC OS disc on MACBook Air I've done the serial number, adobe ID, Option and now install "installation Progess" with a message Please close all of the following applications to continue: Adobe Bridge CS4, Photoshop Elements (Adobe Photoshop elements) I've checked to insure those are closed. Yes they are close - press "continue" but nothing happen. HELP!

Look in Activity Monitor (Applications>Utilities) to see if there are any adobe processes still running somewhere in the background.
(Incidentally, just in case you're a new switcher--closing the window doesn't normally close the program on a mac, unlike windows. You must still quit the program itself.)

Problems installing VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA_1_2_3.zip on Mac

Problems installing VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA__2_3.zip on Mac? Preamble: st gen Vado HD
macbook pro running OS X Snow leopard 0.6.2
I'm having a tough time installing the Vado Central SW on my Mac. I tried installing VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA___0_df6, too. Similar results with both, I get a message "Installation failed."? This comes as no surprise since my mac never installs anything without prompting for an administrator login. So, I ignored the instructions to plug in the Vado after the installation was complete, and plugged it in and tried re-installing the software with the Vado as the installation destination.... which makes sense since it seems to run the Windows Vado Central from the Vado. VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA__2_3.zip would not let me select any device except the mac hard dri've.
With VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA___0_df6 I was able to install change the install location to the Vado HD device. It appears to have created an applications folder containing Vado Central.app. But, now when I plug in the Vado, it still automatically starts iPhoto. If I browse the Vado and double click the Vado Central.app, OS X first prompts, asking me if I want to install the application to the local computer. Click "No", then I get prompted that Vado Central rquires the flv2ITunes transcorder downloaded and installed. Click "Yes", then I'm prompted that a newer version of Vado Central is available, "Do you want to download...", click "Yes". It downloads and installs somewhere, but apparently not on the Vado, because it puts me through all of this every time. Whatever/whereever the software is being updated, it's not changing the Vado Cental.app on the Vado, based on the timestamp.
Can somebody provide the correct installation instructions? The minimal instructions on the Creative download page appear to be wrong. (I've looked at the other threads complaining about the mac installation, they don't seem to match my experience.)
TIA

I have a Vado HD 2nd generation. I use it exclusi'vely on my MacBook.
The firmware version that my Vado came with is "v.250.
I found out the version on my unit by holding down the Delete button
while turning the unit on.
Is it possible that your unit is not installing v.23 because your unit already has a later version?
Hope this helps.

I found a fix for problems installing Air on Mac Lion OS

I had Air installed which I needed to run this porgram You Select it which needs adobe flash and Air to run.. The other day the program would not open up.
I tried a number of things could not get it to work. Deleted the program, and tried installing Air again, and Flash. Flash would install fine but not Air.
I searched the WEB and found a forum which said if You install Firefox web browser and run it while you install Air it will work.. I did and got Air and my Program installed fine.
I have no clue why that worked but it did.
Craig

Thanks - this strange solution worked for me too. Shaking my head, just as I thought Flash was safely killed, Air pops up as the next Weirdo app

Please please help me install Air on my Mac

I am using a Mac os x 10.6.6. Have installed flash 10.2 and trying to install Air 2.5. Each time I try to install this it just opens and sits in my dock. Nothing else happens. I have tried the sudo commands (which I do not understand by the way). Have tried everything that I have found in other posts including running the Air Install Repair. I need this for the tracker on Elance. I contacted them and was told to come here. So I'll include all the images I was able to get and the log file.
This is all that happens when I tell Air to install:
Here is the image from my terminal when entering the psudo:
Here is the system log (could only send it in images, not able to past it):
Wish I could copy/paste so the writing would be bigger. Please any help would be appreciated. I am missing out on work because of this problem.

Hi,
Thanks for the detailed information. I've seen this occur a few times now and it's definitely frustrating. I've been trying to recreate this but I just can't seem to find the right environment. Would you be willing to do a save of your System Profile and email me ([email protected]) that file? It might help me determine what files you have installed that differ from mine or find a common denominator with other affected customers.
To work around this problem, try the following:
Download and mount the latest AIR runtime installer from http://get.adobe.com/air
Open the "Terminal" application found in your Application/Utilities folder
Copy and past the following command:
sudo /Volumes/Adobe\ AIR/Adobe\ AIR\ Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ AIR\ Installer -silent -eulaAccepted
After hitting enter, you will be prompted for your login password.
Installation takes a few minutes. Look for output similar to the following:Adobe AIR is currently not installed
Installing version 2.5.1.17750
done
Once complete, close Terminal and install your Adobe AIR-based application.
Thanks,
Chris

Problems Installing Software on a Mac that is both Win and Mac compatible

I am new to Mac. My kids have a bunch of games and some educational software on CD ROM. The software case's say the CDROM is compatible with both Windows and Mac. I have not had a problem installing them on my old PC but cant get either my iMac or Macbook to install the software.

Check the exact version requirements on the box. Make sure it says OS X. If it only supports OS 9, then it won't work on Intel Macs (e.g. your MacBook and 2006 iMacs).
Also, there are a few bizarrely-designed games that are OS X compatible, but the installer runs in OS 9. If that's the case, you'd need to install it on a PowerPC Mac, then copy the game folder onto your Intel Mac (using flash drive, CD, file sharing, etc)

Problem installing Air on XP

I've read some of the posts in the forum related to
installation problems, but could not find one that answered my
problem.
I'm just starting to develop in AIR, I have the SDK and using
Adobe Flash. I can create Air applications and run them from the
Flash IDE, but I was not able to install the regular Air
player/plugin. (I want to use the "Badger" app to package my
own...)
I tried a direct install from the website, installing from
command line, and also installing through the dialog that pops up
when I install an Aid application. Whenever I click on the
installer, nothing happens, no error, or anything.
When I try to install an air app, it now moves to attempting
to install (the app, not Air itself), but then freezes once I
approve the installation path.
I checked in the add/remove programs interface, and Air is
not there. I also checked for the registry value mentioned earlier,
nothing.
If it helps, I have Windows XP, multiple Adobe products
installed, Air SDK.
Any help would be appreciated!
Nadav

Thanks! Didn't know about this method.
The log says:
Performing runtime install
UI SWF load is complete
UI initialized
starting user confirmation
Installation type: new
At this point the process halts and I have to terminate it in
order to get access to the log file.
Also, I checked my Windows Task Manager:
I have 2 processes created when I click on
AdobeAIRInstaller.exe.
AdobeAIRInstaller.exe. Mem Usage - 3,888K
Adobe AIR Installer.exe. Mem Usage - 28.984K
Both remain in memory but seem to be idling (taking up no CPU
cycles).
Would this information by any chance help debug what is going
wrong?
Thanks again!
Nadav

Problems installing OSX Lion - new Mac Mini 2011

Hi!
I'm having major problem with my brand new Mac Mini.
I wanted to upgrade it right away after reading so many succeful upgrading reports on various forums so I bought a 120GB Intel 320 SSD disk and 2x4 GB of Kingston 1333mhz ram. I swapped the drives right away and idiotically used to original drive in a case to create an external installation USB-drive (my 4GB USB drives didn't work).
I then created a bootable USB-disk with the external original drive and tried to install but only get the circle with slash after selecting the drive in the "options" menu. If I remove the USB-drive I get a flashing folder icon. If start holding down Command + S I get a message saying that the "version of OSX is not supported on this platform".
I also tried using the Recovery Assistant HD to create a bootable recovery tool but that gives the same results.
In short:
I can't install OSX Lion on a brand new Mac Mini with upgraded HD and Ram. I don't have the original installation anymore.
Am I out of luck?

Internet Recovery solved this problem. Option+Command+R.

Trouble installing .air app on mac

For the sake of people searching, or if the image gets removed on day, here is the error message as text:
"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."
I keep getting the above error when trying to install a new .air desktop file on a third-party Mac over which I have limited control. The .air app does work on Windows 8.1.
-Do you think it could be the AIR runtime (currently version 14, and am getting admin to update it to version 16)? I built the app in AIR 16.
-There is a previous version of the app, with a different certificate that is already installed. Would this possibly cause the error?
-Finally, I signed the app with a self-created certificate for development reasons. Is that likely to be a problem, it didn't seem to be an issue last time I did this?
Thank you.

This was covered a couple of times just in the last week.
Search for "runtime redistribute" or similar.

Problem installing dw cs4 on mac osx 10.5.7

Hi,
I am encountering a weird problem when trying to install dw cs4 on my macbook which runs osx 10.5.7. My user account has admin privilliges, yet when running the setup / installation file either from the disk or by downloading the trial - 2 dreamweaver icons appear in my dock, bounce up and down for a few seconds then disappear.
Are there any known issues installing dw cs4 on 10.5.7?
I have done an OS update to ensure im running the latest version.
I tried installing DW on another laptop running 10.4.11 which worked seamlessly.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give

Dragging Adobe files to the Trash on a Mac is the surest way to installation nightmare. Adobe products need to be properly uninstalled using the Adobe installer. You will need to clean up your system using the CS4 Clean script from http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html.

Problem installing CS4 onto new Mac OS X

Can someone please help me?!
I have just tried to install my Photoshop CS4 Extended onto my brand spankin' new Mac computer and when I tried to open the application this message comes up:
"You can't open the application 'Adobe Photoshop SC4' because it is not supported on this architecture". What exactly does this mean?
I have the latest IMac so I don't see why this would be a problem.

Hi Cherry!
Usually this happens, when Photoshop CS4 was not successfully installed.
Reinstall it.
If the option to install Photoshop CS4 is not available, de-install it first. Either use the installer or manually remove the Adobe Photoshop CS4 folder.
Cheers,
Jugemon

Hello Ffrrogy,
I may not be the person to give you any useful suggestions since I have a different serious problem with Flash and Safari 5.1 that I can't solve. However, since no one else has replied to your problem, I'll offer one suggestion:
You can begin by checking to see if the Flash Player got downloaded into the correct location on your hard drive. Via the Finder, look in:
HardDrive (typically called Macintosh HD - but not your personal user area that probably has your name) --> Library ---> Internet Plug-Ins
In the Internet Plug-Ins folder should be a file named "Flash Player.plugin"
(Note, there is another Library in your personal area that is different from the one in the HD area. I don't know if Safari would find the plug-in if it were in your personal library.)
If the file is in the Internet Plug-Ins folder then double check your preferences in Safari. Under Security, be sure that plug-ins are enabled. If plug-ins are't enabled the Flash Player you downloaded won't be loaded into Safari when you open that application and thus when you visit a site with Flash content, you'll get the message to download the Flash Player.
By the way, I'm assuming that Flash was working in your Safari browser at some earlier point in time. Also, if you have Firefox, you might see if Flash is working there.
But if your problem isn't with plug-ins not loading then...

Problems installing Adobe XI on MAC OSX

I am trying to install adobe reader on my Mac OS X Yosemite. I was unable to open some pdf files and got a message that I needed to download the newer version of Adobe Reader, so I have tried numerous times. I seem to be able to download it (I have tried both Safari and Mozila and it shows up in my download file) but when I try to install it, it only installs 44% and then just seems to get hung up. I have a window that says Adobe Reader Installer and the progress stops at 44%. Anyone else have this problem?Any ideas? I tried uninstalling all my Adobe Apps and rebooting, but alas, that didn't work. I'm stumped.

You can try using the full offline Reader installer from

Problem Installing Classic support in Mac OS X v.10.2.3

Hello!
Sorry for my poor english.
I got a PowerBook G4 (15 inch)
And Mac OS X v. 10.2.3 installed on it.
Some program tells me that it needs Classic enabled to start.
Then I go to System Preferences to Classic
And there's a messsage
"There is no volume with a system folder that supports starting Clssic"
I were confused. I did reinstall all the system to split the hard drive in two partitions. But that doesn't help me.
After this. I search the internet for the solution.
According to this article
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh763.html
I should insert "Additional Software & Apple Hardware Test" disk, but i haven't got anything like this.
I've got:
Apple Hardware Test (PowerBook G4) Disk
and
PowerBook G4 15 inch Software install and Restore Disk
I deside to insert "Software install and Restore" disk. There is a package "Install Applications and Mac OS 9". I run it. It installs the Restore utility. After that, restore utility autorun. I tell that i wish to restore Mac OS 9, and after a while the programm tells me, that "there's an error type number 45 on copying".
After this, i'm decided to copy whole inserted disk to PowerBook as an .dmg file and try to install from it. Copy process done successeful, no read errors. But the installation process ask me "PLease insert the disk market like this" and picture of the part of the disk with two circles, exactly i have on the "Install Applications and Mac OS 9" Disk.
So, what should i do to enable that Classic Support on my Mac OS X v.10.2.3
And more of it. What is the message
"There is no volume with a system folder that supports starting Clssic"
and what is System Folder and is there any way to make it somehow?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Thanks a lot!
Last 10 days was my first deep intrusion into Mac OS intrails...
About disks i have, yes, it's original disks. There's no scratchs or dust on them. The copied fine in IBM PC, disk to disk, with no errors. How i tell before, there's a problem that restore application tells me that tehre's an "error type number 45 on copy". And i can't solve exactly this problem.
Also, I found another one solution in internet. Sorry, this solution is in russian, but i will try to traslate it later
http://www.mikeosx.com/faq/faq.html#Anchor-49575
This solution tells:
1 step:
Start install you Mac OS X from install disk
2 step
Split you hard drive into two partitions with Disk Utility application before you will procide to install, And don't forget to set "OS 9 Drives" (or something like this)
3 step
After installation was complete. Restart you'r Mac.
Insert disk marked "Repair" (or something like this) than go to "/Volumes/iBook Restore CD/.images"
"iBook Restore CD" you should change to whatever you disk is labeled.
In that folder (directory) you will notice file OS9General.dmg
Mount this disk image
4 step
Open your empty partition (not the one you installed Mac OS X)
Select all the files on mounted OS9General.dmg and copy them to empty partition.
Thank You "eww" ones more, for your suggestions. I hope that i will win this round "Me vs Mac"
