Trial of CS6 fails to complete download - gets stuck.

A few days ago, I tried to download this free trial of CS6, but after awhile, it stopped with about 3 hrs left to go. I tried again today. It started out saying it still had 3 hrs left to go, but failed to progress. I ended it & started over. Now it won't progress - only now it has 5 hours left to go.  Very frustrated.

I would recommend canceling the update and trying again.  This can happen if a location is choosen to download the install files to which the Adobe Download Assistant does not have access too.  I would recommend choosing the default of your User folder to download the install files.
Alternately you can initiate a direct download by following the directions listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369.

  • Unable to restart after a Security update failed to completely download.

    I was downloading a security update. It failed to completely download. When I tried to restart the computer, it will get up to the blue screen background of the user login page. It will not go any further. I tried using the >Shift< key to get it into a SAFE mode but nothing happens except the progress indicator revolves. Should it be revolving over 3 hours and still no progress is seen? Is there something else I can do? Is there Apple or 3rd party software that could perhaps fix it? Please help I don't want to start from the beginning and re-install everything.

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
    Try Disk Utility. You need your system restore disk.
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    One reason that an update can't finish is that you didn't use Disk Utility to Repair Disk Permissions before you ran the udpate. Second possibility is not enough free disk space. If you haven't upgraded the hard disk in your iBook, it probably has a 60GB drive or less. Never allow your free drive space fall below 20% of the total drive. This information can be viewed in Disk Utility at the bottom of the page with MacintoshHD 10.4 selected in the panel on the left.

  • Mountain Lion download getting stuck at 79MB w/ no internet connectivity issues

    I just purchased Mountain Lion via the App Store but everytime I try to download it, the download gets stuck around 79.4MB and the download time just gets longer and longer without the download actually pausing. Pausing and resuming have the same problem, the file size just goes up to 80+MB before dropping back down to 79.4MB again. I have tried canceling, reopening the App store and re-downloading several times already without success. Please help! I went through Mountain Lion download problems in the forum but I can't find a solution. I'm downloading onto an iMac on a broadband Wifi personal home network and can surf the internet without problems and as quickly as usual. For reference, my connectivity speed at this time is usually enough to download a 300MB file in 15 mins to half an hour.

  • Itunes download gets stuck at:- Gathering Required Information, Status: Performing Installation Checks

    My Itunes was not working so I deleted it and now cannot download a new version. The download gets stuck at  Gathering Required Information, Status: Performing Installation Checks. I am trying to download 10.4 for windows. I have been trying to download this again for about a week and have deleted all apple products from my  Control Panel and temp folders. Any advice?
    Cheers
    Jo

    Deleting the .itl and rebuilding it will lose date added information. Playlists may be recovered if the .xml file is imported. A better way might have been to temporarily rename the .itl while iTunes is installed, then restore the original .itl after the fact.
    For general advice on problems installing iTunes see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • I'm resending this question.  I'm trying to install the CC desktop on my Ibook in order to download Photoshop and Lightroom, but the downloader gets stuck at about 10% completion and I cannot figure out how to complete the download.  Thanks for any help.

    I'm new to this and apologize, but I do have a question about downloading CC to my Ibook (after successfully downloading to my Apple desktop.  The downloader is stuck at about 10% of completion and repeating from the beginning does not help me.  Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.  Roy

    May I know the version of Mac computer ?

  • My After Effects Download gets stuck on 52%

    Hi, I am currently installing the After Effects CC Trial on Creative Cloud, the download has been fast and fine up until now. It is stuck on 52% and has been for about half an hour, I tried to cancel it, and reinstall it but it is still getting stuck on 52%!
    Thanks

    Devond72433482 I would recommend reviewing the installation logs for the After Effects update which is failing to apply.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC.  You are welcome to post any specific error messages you discover to this discussion.

  • Why does photoshop download get stuck at "waiting"?

    download sits at waiting for hours. i have to cancel to get it to "continue", then it goes to waiting again.
    what's up?

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links – Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • Download gets stuck at 100% ?

    Hello,
    I bought a monthly subscription to After effects -I had the trial version- and I started downloading it. Everything is fine, just that the download does not finish and gets stuck at 100%. While I try to open the program in Finder, it opens a window saying the trial version has expired and that I have to buy the licence.
    Thanks you so much for your answers.

    Yes, I have. I first logged in onto Creative cloud and then clicked the install button right next to the After effects icon. It started fine, then at 90%the download speed became lower and lower. I have already tried to cancel the download and reset Creative cloud (and the download of course) but it is the same outcome.
    FYI : I have already been sent the email from Creative cloud saying they received the payment

  • My adobe flash player won't download--gets stuck at 25%

    I have a Mac.  I've tried downloading adobe flash player a couple times now.  It installs well, but it always gets stuck at 25% when it downloads.  Then when I try to shut down it tells me I can't because it's installing even though I keep trying to quit the installation.  So then I have to shut my Mac down by using the emergency shut down button.  Please help Adobe!  If you can get back to me ASAP that would be great. 

    Hello,
    This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
    If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
    Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer, OR
    Download the stand-alone installer posted at the bottom of the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
    If the behaviour reproduces, please clear the browser's cache and try downloading again.
    Thank you.

  • Creative Cloud download getting stuck. Direct Photoshop download without Creative Cloud?

    Hi,
    I am trying to download Photoshop. First they tell me to download the Creative Cloud, which I did.
    But when I ran Creative Could it downloads for sometime but then gets stuck. Maybe because I am from India and the internet is terrible here.
    The download just plain disconnects after some time. There is no network activity anymore.
    Is there a way I could get it working without downloading Creative Cloud?
    Like download with a download manager so that I can resume my download manually.

    CHeck the dev center deployment guides. They should have links for alternate downloads to build custom packages and you can use that.

  • Music Downloads get stuck in processing phase and don't download?

    I'm not sure what's going on with my computer.
    Every time I try to download a song in the store, it seems to work fine. And then, when it gets to the processing part at the very end, it gets stuck there.
    It never downloads to my computer and it freezes my iTunes, so I have to shut it down using the Task Manager.
    Under my Check Available Downloads, it says that all my purchases have been downloaded, and in my Purchase History, it says I have bought those songs.
    So why am I not getting them?
    (I thought it might be something to do with my anti-virus software, but I'm not sure how to tell)

    iTunes temporarily downloads songs into a folder named Downloads. Then at the end, it does that processing stuff and tries to move it into the normal Artist folder. Apparently, it can't accomplish this.
    I also use AVG (the free version) and don't have this problem. So it must be something else. If you look in Task Manager when it gets to the "processing" part, do you see any other program using a lot of CPU time?
    There are previous posts from users where incorrect windows permissions have caused this, or other programs such as VCast from Verizon were causing a conflict. And sometimes it's just problems with apple servers.
    Try this trick from Antzilla525 - maybe that will help.

  • I am trying to download Mountain Lion for almost 3 days now and the download gets stuck at 53.25mb. Apple support staff is giving me same block answer that it's because of heavy traffic and I don't buy that. Does anyone know how I can download it ?

    I have been trying to download my copy of Mountain Lion for last 3 days and the download is stuck at 53.25mb. I tried all of the restart/ Cookies deletion that apple support staff recommended to no avail. Download starts from begining and once it's 53.25mb downloaded, the remaining time goes upto and beyond 650 days and counting.
    Is there any guru, who can help me download Mountain Lion this year? Preferably in a days time !
    Cheers!

    Doesn't strike me as a "high traffic" issue, if you pause the download can you open the /Applications/ folder on your Mac and see if the installer already present? If you can stop the download and delete the installer (because it is not finished), the try again?
    If you've already done the above have you tried using Disk Utility First Aid from your Recovery HD?
    Try to verify/repair the disk and see if that takes care of it. (Of course make sure you have a good, recent backup before trying this.)
    If you're still having issues: re-install OS X from the Recovery HD, install all available software updates, try again.

  • Laptop mouse disappears completely and gets stuck quite a bit

    I bought laptop online in Feb 2014. Since begining I have issue with its mouse. It gets stuck at times and we have to click it repeatedly    to get it working again.   I also have tried toucing the screen but it starts doing its own actions.   Please let me how we can fix this issue.  Thank you.

    Hello @anabencosme13 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP 15 Notebook and mouse freezing. Here is a document on how to troubleshoot the mouse and Touchpad sensitivities.
    If you will go to the section on Adjusting TouchPad or ClickPad pointing sensitivities it should help resolve the issue.
    If this does not I would go to the section that shows you how to restore the default settings of the Touchpad and mouse.
    Hope this fixes the mouse.
    Thanks.

  • Restore fails to complete download.

    Begin the Restore with iTunes. It indicates 3 hours! Why so long? How many MB are being exchanged? Have started the Restore twice and it fails once with a "server timed out" (about 2 hours into the process) and another "internet connection lost"  (less than a half-hour left).

    Thanks for your reply. Finally got back to this problem. Before I tried the restore again, checked the iPod. Appears that the restore did work. The failure "Internet connection lost" must have occurred later. My Internet connection is via Satellite. My provider has a 7 day running max doownload of 1GB. I did not want to take a chance of exceeding this so my only choice was to try between the hours of 12p-6a local time when download bytes are not counted. Still unable to understand why it takes 3 hours and more important how many bytes are transferred. Must be a secret!
    Anyway, thanks again for your suggestion. Now I just hope no problems in transferring the iPod from my account/computer to my son's account/computer.
