Why can't I open Illustrator after downloading a free trial?

I have successfully downloaded Illustrator and Photoshop but keep on receiving a message telling me that either my computer is offline or the clock on my computer is set incorrectly, causing a connection error. Neither of these is true. Can anyone help?

Thanks, I tried the live help yesterday and spent nearly two hours with them without any success. Then I called my computer engineer son to come over ( I normally try not to bother him). He uninstalled my firewall protection, and got another one on. That seemed to sort out all sorts of problems. However he thinks I have a fundamental problem with the way the machine is set up, so it may only be a temporary situation. However I finally have Illustrator opened!

  • TS3212 I have downloaded iTunes, but every time I click on the link it does not open. Why can I not open iTunes after downloading?

    I have deleted old versions and uploaded the new version. Now that I have completed the install, I cannot open iTunes. I double click it on desktop and it shows thinking symbol for one second and doesn't open. I go through the start menu and it does the same thing. Help!! Please.

    Can you check something for me please?
    Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.
    Now try to launch iTunes.
    Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)?

    Vanessa,
    You need to have Application manager installed.
    Beyond that, I believe this is one for Customer Care (tick I Still Need Help and hope for an agent available for a chat),

  • Can't open Dreamweaver_12_LS4.exe after downloading my free trial nothing happens

    When I double click on Dreamweaver_12_LS4.exe after downloading my free trial nothing happens

    It seems it is a problem with the registry settings, analogous to this problem: http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Error_Message/Windows-8-Cannot-Open-exe-Files-for -Sibelius-and-Pro-Tools
    I changed the Enable LUA value from "1" to "0" and the Dreamweaver.exe now opens and the files install without problems!! I can now open my trial version of Dreamweaver.

  • Why can't I print coupons after downloading coupon printer time after time?

    Why can't I print coupons after downloading coupon printer several times?

    Likely because the people writing the coupon printing software aren't very good at what they do.
    If you can provide a bit more details as to what doesn't work, that might narrow it down.

    Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4? I use a Canon 5d mark II, which is supposed to be supported, and I checked for updates, but none were found.

    You cannot open files directly with Lr.
    You have to import them.

  • Iphoto can't be opened now after downloading updates.  Message says, "Check with developer to make sure Iphoto works with this version of Mac OS x. Wouldn't update Iphoto when my husband was doing updates..

    Can someone help me figure out how to get my iphoto open again.  It says...Error message: "Iphoto can't be open because of a problem. " Message says, "Check with developer to make sure Iphoto works with this version of Mac OS x. Wouldn't update Iphoto when my husband was doing updates..

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Why can I not open anything I download?

    Everything I try to open a download the option menu never gives me the option to open anything i have downloaded.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Why can't I open photos after updating an iphoto Library on new computer?

    I have saved a 13,000 photos from my old Mac onto a hard disc, and am now trying to import those photos onto a new Mac computer.
    When I copied the 2012 iPhoto Library onto my new computer, a prompt came up to tell me that the Library needed to be updated in order to be used on this computer. So I followed the steps and it seems to have successfully updated itself. But see all the photos when I scroll through the Library... but, when I try to click to open it, I get a HAZARD sign -- triangle with a big exclamation mark.
    Please, can someone advise how I get my old photos onto my new computer?
    Thanks. Corinna

    That sign turns up when iPhoto loses the connection to the actual file.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Why oftentimes after downloading the free trial it won't continue to show the application wizard that will finish to install it

    The "help" section is clear about the requirements to be met before downloading it. I guess very often people who tried to download this trial keep forgetting to verify their email first that is why the completed download files won't go through. Wish this helps...

    Thank you for sharing your insight! Very helpful.
    Best,

  • Opening Photoshop after updating the free trial

    My 30 day trial has finished so I have just joined Creative Cloud (Student and Teacher Edition).  After updating Photoshop on the Creative Cloud app, I can't seem to open it.  When I click on Photoshop, all I seem to get is 'Your trial has expired' and 'Liscence This Software'.  How do I do that? Do I need to enter a serial number? If so, where do I get that from? I haven't received an email about it.
