Story won't update. And I've read the forum posts!
I have a desktop version of Story installed well before May 2012. It's on a Mac running OS 10.8.2.
When I launch Story, it wants to update itelf. But never completes the process. I've read all the forum posts so have tried installing the latest version of Adobe AIR (3.6) and downloading the Story installer from the links provided by Adobe forum moderators. When I run the installer via AIR, I get this message every time.
This application cannot be installed because this installer has been misconfigured.
I've tried deleting Story from the Applications folder. I've tried different versions of Adobe AIR. Same result. I have nothing left to try.
Can anyone help?
Thanks for the reply. I made sure that the Story application was not in the Applications folder, and tried again. Still no luck.
But then I searched my whole system - and noticed there was a back-up copy of the Story application on an attached firewire hard drive. I unmounted this drive - and tried the installer again - with success!
It seems the installer doesn't just look in the Application folder for old copies of Story - it scans the whole system and every disk it can find.
So - problem solved. And thanks again for your fast responses. Really appreciated. I can get back to writing now.

Twitter loads, but won't update and gives Twitter error message, but only in Firefox.
I just installed my operating system (Ubuntu Linux 12.04, KDE desktop) three days ago, and installed Firefox yesterday. When I go to my Twitter feed, I get a bar at the top of the page saying "Sorry! We did something wrong. Please refresh the page and try again." Refreshing doesn't change anything. At the same time, my feed won't update, and scrolling down the page doesn't bring bring up more tweets, just an error message saying:
Loading Tweets seems to be taking a while.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
This does not happen in Chrome or Rekonq. I've checked all my add-ons, cleared my history, cache and cookies. I don't know what else to do. Help?What worked for me was to delete all cookies in Firefox, and then log in again to Twitter. Options > Privacy > clear you recent history. Ask it to clear everything and untick all but cookies.

Hello 3512931312,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have an iPad (1st generation) and would like to update the software on it. The latest supported iOS version available to the iPad (1st generation) is iOS 5.1.1. If your iOS version is lower than that and you would like to update, I would suggest attempting the update with your computer using the instructions located Update your device using iTunes section in the attached article.
Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Have a great day,

i disconnected my iphone 4 while it was updating and now its frozen, the screen is showing a apple logo and a loading bar which has been for 9hrs now. please help
It's not uncommon for it to not work the first time and sometimes, you have to try it a few times. Turn off your antivirus software and your firewall while you are trying to restore the iPad. Enable them again after you restore.
If that still won't work, post back with detailed information as to what exactly does happen as you go through the process. -
Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please. Wasting ink and paper at the moment!!!!!!
I have tried the printer with my laptop (not updated) and everything is fine. It's just the beautiful 27" Imac that can no longer print.Might be a corrupted printer preference file ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Preferences
Click Go
Move the com.apple.PrinterPrefs.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac, restart the printer... -
I recently had to get a new windows computer, old one crashed. My tech guy got all my itunes library over to the new one, and all my songs are there. However, some won't play and ask me for the password for the apple id they were purchased under. 2 of these ids are obsolete and I have no access to those accts. The songs all played on my old computer without prompting me for a password.
Any ideas how I can get around this hassle and get them all to play? We're talking about 800 songs that are being obstinate. The new computer is authorized under my "new" Apple id, which I have used for years.Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).

For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.

I updated to ios 8.3 and i hate it! Is there a way i can uninstall the update and go back to the one before this?
I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

Im trying to install Photoshop Elements premier 12 on my new Mac with the latest update and i keep getting the same failed to initialise message. I was able to register the key code at first but now im not able to either open the program or reinstall it.
What is "Photoshop Elements Premier 12"? Do you mean Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements? Were your files copied over from a previous mac that had PSE installed on it?

Hi - I need to download an iPad update and when I do the file successfully downloads and then proceeds to "progressing" then times out - I think it is my firewall but I have turned off all firewalls
If it scare y ou then take the machien back and ask the Apple Store to do this for you. What has probably filled your computer is large libraries such as music, photos and movies. Apple explains how to move those libraries to an external HD. Please read:

I-tunes is note letting me access i-tunes store without first dowloading the new version of i-tunes. The problem is that my older operating system won't work and is not allowing the newer i-tune versions to work. How can I just get use the old i-tunes?
Hi,
Not sure if any of you above have managed to solve your problem or not but after coming across this same problem myself today as I am currently 'sofa bound' I decided to make it my mission to find a way around it.
Initially I did think, having ready what seemed like a million questions and people with the same problem, that the only way was to buy OS X 10.5 ... HOWEVER, no. In among all these threads I found a jewel - Download I Tunes 9.2.1 which gets rid of the download itunes 10 advert and allows you to then buy from itunes again :-) I am now one very happy lady.
I apologise to all those that dont have older versions of OS X that maybe wont support even this upgrade but certainly for those like me with just 4yr old lap tops at least it means it not longer means buying a new one.
Hope this helps son very frustrated people like myself - so much for apple support!
