Why won't my security scan allow me to download creative cloud?

Why won't my windows 8 allow my download to pass the security scan?

At a guess (you don't list the error), what maybe happening is that you have booted from the original OS install disc, told it to install the (old) original OS on to the hard disk and it has said - no thanks you cannot install an older version because it already has a newer version installed.
This is 'normal', what you have to do is totally erase the hard disk first. You do this by booting from the original OS install disc, but rather than trying to do an install straight away, you should first use Disk Utility and use that to erase the hard disk. Then you can run the install again and because the hard disk will be empty it will not have a newer OS on it and the installer will be happy.
Obviously this means any files you have on the hard disk will be erase as well. If you want to keep them you are going to need to back them up first, the easiest way would be to use Time Machine to backup to an external hard disk.

  • Why won't Business catalyst says I need to buy Creative Cloud to publish my site, but I already have

    Business catalyst says I need to buy Creative Cloud to publish my site, but I already have Creative Cloud and am logged in properly.

    I have checked the site and it does shows up web hosting plan. But the email on which site is published is not using CC subscription as a result BC is asking you to upgrade the site.

  • Why won't my secure thumb drive (FAT32) work with os lion?

    Why won't my secure thumb drive (FAT32) work with os lion?  I have used it ok with older mac operating systems.  When the thumb drive is inserted in the usb port, an error message appears stating that the disk was not ejected properly.  It shows as readonly in Finder.  When I try to eject it, the spinning wheel appears and I have to relaunch finder.

  • HT4101 Why won't my iPad mini allow my gopro 32gb SD card to transfer video using the lightening to SD card camera reader?

    Why won't my iPad mini allow my gopro 32gb SD card to transfer video using the lightening to SD card camera reader?
    The gopro transfer worked with my original iPad. Is it the lightening technology?

    If you've gone through all that and it's the right kind of SD card, right naming convention etc. try giving your iPad a reset. Sometimes that port gets turned off (for lack of a better term) and a reset turns it back on. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    If it still doesn't work, if you have access to another iPad try the reader on that. THere are some defective ones out there. If it works on another iPad then there's something going on with yours. If it doesn't work on another iPad then you may want to take that reader back and exchange it because it may be bad.

  • Why won't my airport express allow internet connection on TV blu ray? I have internet connection on iMac

    Why won't my Airport Express allow internet connection on my Blu Ray when there is internet connection on my IMac?

    I'm guessing you only have the modem/router supplied by your isp and the Airport Express.  Is the Airport Express connected to the modem/router with an ethernet cable?  If not, plug one end of the cable into an available port on the modem/router and the other end in to the WAN port, indicated with a dashed circle, on the Airport Express.
    Have a nice day.

  • Adobe application manager keeps opening and will not allow me to install creative cloud

    Adobe application manager keeps opening and will not allow me to install creative cloud. I am trying to sync fonts and the install is not working. The adobe application manager will open on its own and not allow the creative cloud app to install. I do have other creative cloud products installed however the creative cloud installer icon is not appearing in my toolbar nor does creative cloud show up as an app. I get an error message that I must have creative cloud installed when I try to sync fonts via the type kit to photoshop.

    Hello ducky,
    as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
    Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html  and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    Sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
    If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

  • I downloaded Creative Cloud, but why can't I download the Photoshop trial?

    I downloaded Creative Cloud, but when I click to download Photoshop trial under the Apps, I'm getting the message "Unable to extract files.  Please Retry to download again or contact customer support (EX20)".
    Can anyone help?  Every time I click retry I just get the same failure message.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Along with the answers to Barry's questions, I have a few more please:
    What browser are you using?
    Do you have a software firewall?
    Are you running any anti-virus, or anti-malware software?
    What are your security settings?
    Note: Barry's question on OS might well handle some of those.
    Good luck,

  • Why is my amount of space used different from my Creative Cloud Files Folder size?

    Why is my amount of 'space used' different from my Creative Cloud Files Folder size? CC is telling me I'm using 93% (18.6GB of 20GB) but my CC File Folder only contains 13.42GB?  

    Have you checked the "Archive" section on the Creative.adobe.com website ?
    When you delete the files then they are moved to the "Archive" from where you can delete the content permanently.
    Clear the Archive section and then check.
