Trouble downloading/installing 10.5.6 on a Macbook

I've been running into a lot of trouble trying to get the new system update onto my Macbook. Every time I try to download 10.5.6 (via the Software Update, as well as directly off the website) the download will work part way before suddenly jumping to the restart prompt. Then, when I hit the install button, the screen freezes on "Configuring Installation", which I know means the download isn't complete. Is there any way to fix this?

Thank you for your reply. I just downloaded and installed iTunes 8.1 (separately from the 10.5.6; when I tried to do them together, neither worked) and it worked perfectly.
I am connected directly to a router, which is connected to two other computers, both of which are being used right now. Does this affect my computer in any way? Again, thank you for the help.

In general it's best to install one update at a time. If the other computers are very busy using the internet, then, yes, that might be the problem.
Wait for a quiet time when the other computers are off-line and see what happens.

Trouble downloading/installing Flash Player

I'm trying to download/install Flash player & it's not working. After the initial download, the window pops up showing the progress, however it stops between 7% & 9%, saying underneath the progress bar: lost connection. trying to reconnect. No matter how many times I've tried it, it does the same thing. I've also tried to download Flash player from another site (not Adobe.com) & windows won't recognize it... please help!

Download & run the offline installer(s):
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player (Mac OS X)

Trouble downloading/installing 10.5.2 update

Somebody please help. I bought the 10.5.1 and now certain applications (such as AOL) will not function correctly. I am having the hardest time downloading, let alone installing the 10.5.2 which I'm told I need to make things work correctly again. I have a regular 56K phone and share the phone with family members. Did anyone by chance download the standalone update installer and put it on DVD? Does apple offer this? Any other suggestions?

I'm sorry for the mixup there CHerrod. That step is for gavki only. Sometimes there are preferences on your username that causes an issue on the computer and by creating a temporary user, we can properly isolate the issue if its user-specific or system-wide.
As for your issue, I'd still say that asking a friend download it on his/her computer and burn it is your best option. School will be a good place to look for one. Try an Apple Store near you as well. Just bring a blank CD-R and see if they can download and burn it for you.

Trouble downloading/installing Acrobat Reader 9.3.3

Help please. I have been attempting everything I know to get Acrobat Reader on my new computer. I am using a Windows 7 OS. I can start the download, it completes, but it does not do anything past then. I have administrator rights. I have attempted to "save" the file. I have attempted to "run" the file. Nothing seems to work. Am I missing something?
Thanks

Just try by manually downloading exe and msp:
•First download 9.3.3 installer http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.3/enu/AdbeRdr933_en_US.exe and run it.
•Then download 9.3.4 update http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.4/misc/AdbeRdrUpd934_all_incr.msp and run it.
Hope it works for you.

Trouble downloading/installing Dreamweaver CC

I successfully installed Acrobat Pro XI through the Creative Cloud desktop app. I then went to install Dreamweaver CC and it got 90% through the extraction process and has been frozen at 90% for over 40 minutes. Is it glitched? Should I end the process, remove it, and start all over again?
I could use some help.
Thanks.

Trouble Downloading/Installing Eclipse

I have recently reinstalled my computer with Linux and so now I'm trying to install programs again.
So I enter the terminal, login as root and type pacman -S eclipse.
It works fine for a bit but while it is checking package integrity it sends me a message that says "File xulrunner-1.9.2.8-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted."
I don't really know how to get around this, to find something that's not corrupted, I'm kind of new to the whole linux thing.

Pick a different mirror.

Trouble downloading, installing flashplayer

I have attempted to download latest version of flashplayer several times - gets to 50%, says to close IE and still refuses to load. Sometimes I'm not required to download, other times requires it. What's wrong with the program?

Having trouble downloading the new version of itunes on Macbook, can you help me?

Hi,
I bought my computer MacBook about six years ago. I am trying to download the new version of itunes. It downloads to my computer, but then asks me for my name and installer password. The options to get that password back is to install the initial disk of the computer, which I do not have anymore or restart the computer doing some sort of steps. I am clueless when it comes to computers, so if anyone can help me that would be awsome!
My computer has been running fine these past years and I would hate for the answer to be that I have to replace my MacBook for another Mac....

Have a new itouch. I'm having trouble downloading iTunes. I keep getting the error message: Apple Application software was not found. Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTues again. Error 2.

I have a new iTouch. I'm having trouble downloading iTunes. I keep getting the error message: "Apple Application Software was not found. Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2." I have uninstalled and tried installing again and get the same error message. What do i need to do?
Lg

Install 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and use one of them to extract the contents of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe installer file, then try installing AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. Even if it won't install you may get a more useful error message as to why not.

Trouble with Installing Empire: Total War; downloaded from Best Buy Pc app

Hello,
I have had troubles downloading and installing Empire: Total War. At first, I coudn't download it but I now have figured it out. I checked today after work and it successfully downloaded. The trouble now is that I have the files but can't seem to install them. I pressed the "install manually" button within the Pc app but nothing happened. Help would be appreciated!

Hi mhviking25,
You should be able to locate the game data files here:
C:\Users\ [User Name] \AppData\Local\Best Buy pc app\DigitalShelf\ [Your Game folder]
In that folder there is likely an executable install file (.exe) that you could try. If it's not there or that install method doesn't work, there may have been a problem during the download process and you'll want to try a re-download. I know that not ideal as you ran into issues trying to download it the first time but hopefully it doesn't come to that.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Trouble Downloading and Installing

I am having some trouble here. I tried downloading it and it did not work. I had the issue where you need to change the download file to .dmg. It was also opening Matlab and giving me this error for some reason. I figured out how to get past that and continued the steps to download. I am now able to get to the Adobe Flash Player installer and it begins to start at 0% and shortly after the screen goes black (the window itself). I have checked my plug in settings and allowed java. I have also tried to do the fresh install where you uninstall and then try to reinstall but when I go to download the file I can not open it and do not have the option to save as, when you right click. I am using a mac with operating system 10.10.1 I also have re-booted my computer.

Another possible solution might be to download/install the trial version of InDesign CS6 and then just convert it to be licensed under CCM. This shouldn't be required but if it is the only app giving you difficulties, it might be an easy workaround. This doc shows how to convert a trial to licensed under CCM.

Having trouble downloading and installing Premiere Elements 10 from my account.

Having trouble downloading and installing Premiere Elements 10 from my account.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your reply.
Here’s what I downloaded from my account – PremiereElements_10LS_15_win64
I do get an error message when I double click to install:
“The file archive part of Adobe Premiere Elements 10 is missing.
You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe Premiere Elements 10.
Please download all parts”.
When on the Adobe site there are many choices which is confusing.
Please direct me to the correct one….
I’m running Windows 8.1
Thank you George
