Recent Adobe Update.

A few days ago, when I turned on my computer and an Adobe update came up so I accepted the update. About half way through the installation my computer screen wigged out and my computer shut down. Ever since this happened, I haven't been able to turn on my own computer!! I get as far as the Windows 7 logo pulsing, and then my computer restarts and says windows failed to start. I managed to access my computer via safe mode, so I uninstalled all adobe software. But I'm still having the same problem! I've tried restoring the computer, backing up the computer, repairing the computer, nothing is working! I'm a little upset since this update was the cause of my computer's issues.. Does anyone know why this happened or how I can fix it?

I happen to have the application and driver recovery dvd, but I can't get the computer to run the dvd. In safe mode, it says my request isn't supported in safe mode, and during start up repair, the computer won't detect the dvd. Any other suggestions?

After a recent Adobe update, CS6 will not run on my OSX 10.8

The icon appears disabled. When selecting the app I get the error msg: "You can't open the application "Adobe Photoshop CW6.app" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.
CS6 worked fine after upgrading to Mountain Lion. It appears an update that I downloaded from Adobe earlier this week could be the cause.

Sounds like something messed up the binary, or the OS settings for the app.
Try reinstalling Photoshop, and deleting ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.photoshop.plist

Problem reading PDF files after the latest Adobe update.

Althouigh I think I've followed the Adobe instructions, I continue to get the following error message and can no longer access PDF docs since the most recent Adobe update:
“Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser”.
And when I try to re-install the reader, my system tells me I already have the latest version of the reader installed...

Uninstall Adobe reader and use Preview instead. Works much better and won't screw up your computer.

How to update the most recent Adobe Flash Player on Mavericks?

Does anyone know how to update the most recent Adobe Flash Player on Mavericks? I have downloaded and tried to install it but failed to install. It says "Install Adobe Flash Player" can't be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store.

Flash player not working after recent software update

I have a MAC OSX 10.5.8, after the recent software update my flash player no longer works.
I have read that there is a problem with security for the version of flash that I was using and this is the reason it was disabled. However, I have tried to download the most recent version from the Adobe website, but nothing happens and a message says I already have flash installed on my computer.
I have a version of flash in my HD>>Library>>Internet plug-ins, and there is also one in HD>>Library>>Internet plug-ins (Disabled) which I have tried to move but it only lets you copy it and it seems unable to be moved back to HD>>Library>>Plug-ins
I have also tried to download the "No Script" addon for Firefox so that I can at least have flash working in Firefox, but that doesn't seem to be downloading either.
Please could somebody help me. I cannot now watch videos, listen to my favourite radio stations or even upload pics to ebay to create ebay listings. This problem ruining my internet enjoyment and I just hope that it can be fixed again. How dare Apple just do this without any warning or giving any info on how to easily fix this problem once flash has been disabled.
I am not a techie so maybe there is an easy fix, but I have spent hours trying a lot of different things but nothing seems to be working.

Please, nobody waste any time replying to this issue as the problem appears to be fixed now. I rarely restart my laptop as I usually just put it to sleep, however, I restarted it and the problem looks to have gone away. I may have fixed it with some of the things I tried, but the laptop may just have needed restarting - I'm not sure.
But as long as the problem is resolved, I'm happy. :-)))
Thanks anyway!

I'll assume you are on vista and refering to this:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb408524&sliceId=1
It's the top link in the creative suite forums... I know this why? because I just had the same issue and it took forever to figure out it was posted right up top. That said I did follow all the instructions and now everything is working fine. Be prepared though as the steps you need to take are basically.. change some rights in windows and then uninstall your suite and re-install it again. I can say it works though.. Good luck.

Coldfusion 64 bit windows installer stops working after recent microsoft update

Coldfusion 64 bit windows installation stops working after recent microsoft updates and how I worked around it.
My question is at the end.
Trying to deploy coldfusion 9 enterprise 64 bit trial version onto a Windows 2003 64 bit datacenter OS with all OS updates from MS (as of 4-7-2011).
Steps taken (remember, this is all 64 bit):
1. Installed the base OS which was slipstreamed with SP2.
2. Checked w/ microsoft and installed 63 OS updates.
3. Launch the CF9 trial exe.
4. As soon as the first screen finishes (the one that looks like it is extracting files) then the second screen pops up (the one that simply says CF Adobe Coldfusion 9) and the progress bar quickly moves 95% to the right and the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.
5. After a moment of incredulous silence (and retrying/rebooting, etc), I started to google it. I found nothing. However, I did find a post (thanks dspent!) that was helpful in that it told how he was able to get at a log file of sorts, by pre-extracting the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file and launching the adobe_cf.exe by hand. (Dspent's install snafu was different than mine, but his post was very valuable and got me started in the right direction.)
6. Got a copy of rarunzipper and extracted the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file.
7. From the windows directory created by step 6, I launched adobe_cf.exe.
8. Same thing (the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.).
9. I examine the hs_err_pidxxxx.log file (where the xxxx is a number).
10. I see inside that file an ominous message: "A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime" then "Problematic frame ntdll.dll" and then "The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code".
11. OK, so now I am thinking ntdll.dll !! Native code !! It is like Java is telling me that for some reason it can't dance with the OS.
12. On a hunch, I decided to test a CF install again on a server with just the base install of W3K3 64 SP2 (ie: skipping step 2 above this time).
13. Bingo! That install works.
14. Therefore, one of the 63 patches I had downloaded from MS had triggered a problem with the CF installer.
15. Back on the first server (the one with the MS security patches installed and the one that CF won't install on). In the CF file adobe_cf.lax (one of the files extracted in step 6) there is a line that mentions where the install gets it's java. Find that file, and check java version installer is using. It is using 1.6.0_14-b08.
16. Off to the Java website, and there is a newer version of java (1.6.0_24-b07). Downloaded and installed it.
17. Modify a line in adobe_cf.lax :
   before
     lax.nl.current.vm=resource\\jre\\bin\\java.exe
   after
     lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\program files\\java\\jre6\\bin\\java.exe
(that assumes that you let step 16 install to the default location)
Save the file.
18. Run the install ... ** IT WORKS ** !
Obviously, the built in java provided with the CF installer is no longer compatible with some change introduced by some recent MS update on the W2K3 64b SP2 platform.
And now the interesting part. Although I forced the installer to used the new java, it did not incorporate it into the cf build (ie: in jvm.config, you still see c:/coldfusion9/runtime/jre AND the version of java.exe that is in that directory is the original version, not the newer version I forced the installer to use).
On the surface, CF seems to run OK, but I have not done any application testing yet.
And finally my
** QUESTION **
Would it be appropriate to simply point the java.home var to the new java directory? I see that the directory structures and files are not exactly the same (close though) so I certainly don't want to break things by doing this, but instinct tells me that if the installer broke using the older version, then something else is gonna break down the road if I don't use the new version. On the other hand, the differences in the directories and files is enough that it makes me very nervous, with my limitied java skill set, to make this decision.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi Byron,
Wow great post no doubt much of the information will be useful for those on Win03 SP2 +. Have to say not come across similar problem on Win08 r2 SP1 +.
So to your question. Adobe security bulletin (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/894/cpsid_89440.html) recommends running CF8 and CF9 with JVM 1.6.0_24. The bulletin does not say how to do that. I take you installed JDK and not just JRE 1.6.0_24? Post install of JDK follow these steps:
Stop CF - SERVICES.msc stop "ColdFusion 9 Application Server".
Take a copy of CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config - so you got a backup.
Edit CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config find line "java.home=" and comment it out eg:
#java.home=C:/ColdFusion9/runtime/jre
Add new line like so and save jvm.config:
java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_24/jre
Note there the slashes and the location of the JRE (runtime) - you need to point to the one in JDK because the other JRE in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 will be missing a DLL.
Start CF via SERVICES.msc.
HTH, Carl.

Problem with Adobe Updater

Recently reinstalled CS3. On first opening the system pulled down updates. These won't install. The updater is caught in a perpetual circle of trying to update and stopping. My instinct tells me this is something simple but I can't find a clue anywhere.
Version of the programme I'm trying to use at the moment is Photoshop CS3 Extended v10.0.1
OS is Win XP Pro SP3.
Microsoft updater performing fine but there is a similar glitch with MSFixit which was installed but will not update or re-install which I think is linked.
Anyone got any ideas?

Are you able to manually download and install updates?
All Adobe updates start here and select product, install in number order, updates are not cumulative http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

CS2- Adobe Updater won't start

I have Photoshop CS2 and have recently started to use it after a long hiatus. When I start it, I get a message that Adobe Updater would not start, and something (the updater?) should be reinstalled. CS2 seems to be working perfectly. What should I do, besides ignoring that message?
Also, can someone tell me what the latest version of the Adobe Raw Converter is which is compatible with CS2?

I'll be happy to answer your questions in the Camera Raw forum or the DNG forum, respectively.

Correct, they are NOT. You would need at least ACR 4.1, which does NOT run in CS2.

Correct again. Use the DNG Converter 5.3. It is a stand-alone application and you should always use the latest version.

Adobe Updater not working and/or removing the Icon from a MacBook Pro?

I purchased CS5 -Design standard for my MacBook Pro a few years ago and have never had a problem until recently. I put a new hard drive into my laptop and reinstalled everything. CS5 programs run fine when I'm using them. Now all of a sudden, I'm getting an icon on my top MAC menu bar from Adobe Updater saying I need to update all of my programs. It will not go away. I follow all the steps, it completes the download then says there are errors and the downloads cannot be completed, to close and try again. I've done this 5 times over 2 weeks with no luck. If there are updates I'd really like to install them or just shut the updater down so that I can't see the icon on my menu bar.
It does not give me an option to enter serial numbers from the CS5 I purchased or to just close the thing and move on with my life. What do I do? All this is running on a MacBook Pro, CS5-Design standard.
Icon on Menu Bar
I open it to see Adobe Updater wants me to update a bunch of programs
I hit the update button- downloading starts and completes to 100%
Now all of the updates are errors downloading- with no options but to close and try again.

Adobe Updater won't work w/ Reader 9.3.1

Hi,
Recently I've been using Reader quite often, but noticed I can no longer update it, as it comes back with an error message saying the firewall is blocking the update or the adobe updater server is down. I worked with Symantec to uninstall my AV program that controlled the firewall, and tried to update with no luck. I'm on Win7 64-bit. Calling Adobe's Tech Support line redirected me here to the forums. Can someone help?
By chance, would the Adobe Updater stop working because I recently downloaded & installed a trial version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0, as the updater function doesn't work on that one either.

Usually, when you uninstall Norton or Symantec Firewall (good choice, by the way) the Windows firewall is reactivated as part of the process.
Unfortunately, when this happens it resets all of the settings for Windows firewall to the default settings, and you usuallt have to go in and "re-allow" programs to access the web on an individual basis.
Open Control Panel > System and Security and click Allow a program through Windows firewall. Click [Allow another program...]
Browse to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe and click Open.
You should see Adobe Reader 9.3 in the list of programs.
Click Add, and it will be allowed (allowing the Updater too, presumably) through the Windows Firewall. Clik OK to close the Firewall allowed programs window.
Try the update again.
<Shameless plug>
If you're tired of Symantec and Norton, try AVG Free

After most recent Reader update can't save fillable forms.

After the most recent Adobe Reader XI update, we can no longer save PDFs with fillable forms on the first save attempt. A little background for you. We have forms that we periodically need to change the information in. My users came to me with this issue, when I tried it, I could save. Naturally I thought it was a rights issue since I am an admin, but I checked for Reader updates first to make sure I was on the same version. There were updates for mine, after installing them I have the same issue now. When I change the data in a fillable form, the first attempt to save I am told that it can't be saved and I will need to use a different filename or location. I click OK, after clicking OK my document name in the title bar canges from whatever.pdf to something random.tmp. Now, since it is technically a different document open I can save it to the file I want it to be. Is there a new option or function causing this? This has never been an issue in the past with these PDFs.

Hi,
Are you still facing this issue? What is the current version of Reader installed.
Regards,
Ajlan Huda.

Adobe Updater Issue

Forgive me for I do not know where to place this thread. Anyway, I recently upgraded from CS4 to CS5 Design Premium. My problem is that when I run Adobe Updater, it's only checking CS4 products which I uninstalled prior to installing CS5 products. It doesn't recognize that I have CS5 products installed. Is there anything I can do to reset it so it knows to look for CS5? Thank you.

Updater 6, I think it's actually 6.02 or something along those lines. I
recently upgraded from CS4 to 5 but I also downloaded the newest updater
from Adobe just to be thorough, but when I run it, it appears to just check
CS4 and Acrobat 9. I'm thinking maybe there isn't a functioning updater for
CS5 yet?

Adobe Updates - CS3

Hi everyone,
Can you set up how to handle Adobe updates in CS3 so that you are informed about the updates but can choose when to install them? I recently downloaded the trial version of CS3 and today it updated a number things automatically. I would rather have the option to update and install on my preference.
Thanks!

Go to the Help Menu. Select Updates...
When the updater finishes checking for updates, you will have an option to
select Preferences. You can choose to have it behave as you desire.
But you probably needn't worry about any more updates this late in the
product cycle, barring a security disaster or something like that.
