Update fails even after running as Admin

I'm using Firefox 6 on Windows XP SP3. I normally log in as a limited user and use the Admin account for installing.
Some Firefox and Thunderbird updates have failed to fully update. I'll run the programs as Admin or log in as Admin and run the updates. The programs update successfully under the Admin account, but when I switch back to the limited account, it tells me the update can't complete. When I check Help > About, it shows the updated version number. The only way I've been able to get rid of the message, is to change my normal account to an administrator, start Firefox so the update completes, then change the account back to limited. This doesn't happen with every update. The update to Firefox 6.0 is one of the problem updates.

If files already have been downloaded then you need to remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.<br />
You can delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.

I had to reinstall Win 7 and PS CS5, and the updates fail even when opened using 'run-as-admin'. Why?

If you are using Help 》updates, it is outdated. You can however go to Product Updates on the Adobe.com website and download your updates there. I am not at my desk b<t when I get back, I'll get the links unless someone else can do that sooner.

Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options.

It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options. I was able to select the account under "parental controls", but again, could not delete it. Why Apple? Why?!!????

SOLVED Ok. I actually was able to disable it. I had to actually log in as the guest user to make it accessible in the preference window. Then I disabled it and logged out. Apologies if this was obvious for some people, but I have had some sort of issue with something every update since Snow Leopard.

Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.

Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.
Is there any way to use a 10.5.7 wireless .kext files on Snow Leopard? And where can I find the files?

Ok, I have the fix!! After several frustrating days it finally just works.
The process:
Upgrade your Macs to 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Powercycle your modem AND time capsule / airport TWICE
Reset your time capsule with a pin or paperclip on the back
Follow the prompts to setup your time capsule / airport access
-- On your Macs
Go to System Preferences > Network > Airport > Advanced > TCP/IP
Click "Renew DHCP Lease" then click "Ok"
Click Apply
Turn off Airport
Turn Airport on
IT WORKS!!!
One of the magical people at tech support walked me through it earlier today. The whole process took about 1.5 hrs because Show Leopard takes about an hour to install on one machine.
Hope this helps-

Why does CC still fail to update Apps even after the latest version (1.1.1.220)

I haven't been able to update several software for weeks and thought the latest Createive Cloud update on 8/20/13 (1.1.1.220) would solve the problem, it did not. I keep getting errors "Update Failed" Error encountered during installation. (U44M1P7) Is this a CC issue or an Internet connection issue I should take up with Comcast? Either way I cannot upload the upgrades I need and pay for.

Hi SKCuller,
For the products opening as trials, is there a "License This Software" button available? If there is, you should be able to sign in with your Adobe ID and not have it open as a trial.
You can install CS6 versions, if you click the More Information link below the product name in Creative Cloud for desktop app, that opens the product page where you can select to download the CS6 version.
Here is an example for Photoshop:

Update failed [U44M1P7] after reinstall - Photoshop CC

Adobe CSXS Infrastructure 4
Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7
Photoshop CC will not update it always comes up with this error even after I've completely uninstalled Photoshop and Creative Cloud, I do have a subscription license but I've given up trying with Creative Cloud since I've tried all the suggestions on here and other forums and downloaded the update from Pirate Bay as it has the files that I can simply just manually copy/paste over. This does work and Photoshop CC is updated but having to do this every time an update is released is both risky and time consuming, not to mention a waste of bandwidth as I have to download the entire suite of software and extract just the Photoshop CC update from it as Photoshop is the only thing I use.
Is there a better solution to this bug?

I have tried all of those things, first the direct updates for for CS6 and previous versions, not CC. I have even tried installing the CS6 update but it didn't work.
Tried completely removing Photoshop CC, Adobe Reader and everything else by Adobe (even Adobe Flash) from my computer, reinstalling did not work it still gives me the above error when trying to update.
Obviously tried restarting and even installing in Safe Mode with Networking, this did not work either.
There are some more none-concentional solutions I've tried without success such as using a registry cleaner, checking for viruses and malware, installing to a different drive/location, using an automation script to continuesly retry the update while leaving the computer on over the xmas week while I was away and many smaller things. Nothing works!

Update failed on After Effects CC. After Effects will not update!

After Effects will not update! I have tried several times clicking the update button but soon after i click the button it says 'update failed' it has an option to learn more - if clicked, this is what would appear - Please Help!

BrothersinArmsGaming it appears you are facing a download error when attempting to download the update for After Effects. Please see Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html for information on how to resolve download errors.

Why is my update failing for AFTER EFFECTS?

I downloaded After Effects 12.2 update after being told my version of AE CC won't work on 10.9.3. I downloaded the installer, but when I clicked on the PatchInstaller, the crappy Adobe Application Manager told me that the Update Failed. Updates could not be applied. Please contact your Administrator... I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR!
I clicked on the "customer support" link. And I use quotes because it shucked me to here, where they apparently don't have anyone answering questions.
Why will the doggone patcher not work? Its a PATCHER! To fix BROKEN SOFTWARE!! THAT WE HAVE LEASED! THIS SHOULD BE A NO BRAINER ADOBE!

CS3 - no update option even after registering

Hi,
I recently installed my CS3 suite and then registered. (I have been buying adobe software for years, so my name and email were already registered). Upon completeing registration, it said an email would be sent with a "free gift" or something (guessing it is a plug-in or something).
Anyway, that email never came and the update tab in not selectable. All programs in the suite are stuck on first release versions. So like in premiere, I can not open any .mxf files until i can update.
Any insight on this or links to other posts (i did search before posting but didn't find anything)
Thanks!

Ryan,
My Free Gift email came several weeks after installing the software. It was the same email as that which came after installing a previous version. If I remember correctly, it offers a typeface (the same one that I downloaded from the first free gift offer) and a voucher for 10% off any Classroom in a Book book from Adobe's store but Amazon offer these books for much less, even after the 10% discount, so it's of no use. Oh, and something else that I can't remember.

Why is Illustrator CC (2014) update failing repeatedly after downloading 100%?

I've been a member of CC for sometime 18 months and normally I have no trouble with updates.
However, this particular update to Illustrator CC fails repeatedly.
I've attempted this update and download more than 8 times.
It shows the download to be 100% complete and then "Update failed" shows up.
Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong?
I've just migrated to a newish iMac, could this be a reason?

Have you uninstalled the old versions and used the Cleaner Tool before updating to the new version?
This procedure is recommended after updating Mac OS.

My iPhone 4s on the latest update freezes even after a full restore.. is it gone?

At first, my iPhone 4s completely froze and I was unable to turn it on (even after holding power/home button--the apple logo would come on and then it would just turn off). I wasn't able to get it into restore or DFU mode. After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery. I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on. If I unplug the phone and then hold down the power and home buttons for about 20 seconds, it restarts and shows the apple logo and shows the initial lock screen. If I let it scroll through the different languages for the "slide to unlock" text, it gets to what looks like japanese or chinese and then freezes. I then have to hold power+home again to restart it. If I slide it immediately when it shows up, it initially froze right away--but after another restart, it worked. I then am able to set it up and get to the wall of apps screen. From there, the phone worked for about half a day and then it froze up again (black screen, couldn't wake it up, stuck at apple logo and then just turns off).
I then was able to restore it AGAIN (on my own personal computer with a fresh install of itunes, I'm doing this for a friend) but the same symptoms persist--it will freeze if I don't unlock it right away, it freezes once when I unlock it right away, and after another restart, it gets through setup and to the wall of apps. The first time I set it to restore from iCloud and re-installed all of her apps. This time, I signed in with her Apple ID and enabled iCloud but did not download any of her old apps. When I go to the apple store, under featured and top apps its just a blank white screen but when I search for an app it does show results. As of right now (30 minutes after restore) it IS working, but it worries me that the same bugs happened after a restore. I feel it's only a matter of hours before the phone freezes up again and requires a restore.
She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old). Help keep an iPhone fan! Do these problems sound familiar to anyone? I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it--I just wanted to get some opinions on if this phone is even worth working on more than I already have since the issues remain even after multiple full restores.
Any help would be appreciated! Sorry for the wall of text.

Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.

After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.

Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

Help needed: PS CC2014 Update failed, then after uninstalling reinstall failed. Initial error code U44M1I210 (when update failed), now error -55 (reinstall fail)

I tried to update Photoshop CC 2014, but it failed at 75%, with error code U44M1I210. After restarting my system, it still failed so I uninstalled the app, per this article: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-u44m1i210-installing-updates-ccm.html
Now the reinstall won't complete, and I'm getting error -55. The one other article that seemed relevant looks like the person had to uninstall and reinstall all his Adobe software after creating a new admin account on his computer (When I try to update I get an U44M1I210 error message, "Unable to extract the downloaded files" - help please, applies to latest Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop CC), and I'm hoping there is a better solution than the hours that will involve.
Running on OSX 10.7.5.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

GundamCat what specific errors were you able to discover in the installation log for the update?
