Why won't my updates install?

I am trying to install updates for Creative Cloud Connection and DPS Desktop Tool 6. Every time I get to a 12% installation point, I get message that installation has failed. Please tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it. I'm running Windows 8.

Joel it will be necessary to determine the exact error which you are receiving when you try to install. Please see Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html which provides information on how to locate and interpret your installation log files.

TS1702 Why won't my apps install on my ipad? it keeps waiting. Please help

Why won't my apps install on my iPad, it just keeps waiting. Please help.
Thanks.

These are all steps that have worked for some other users in the past. They may not work for you, but they are worth a try.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

Why won't Numbers update free, when my other iWork apps have update for free?

why won't Numbers update free, when my other iWork apps have update for free?

I'm not sure if this answers your question. I will update them in iTunes. Then I will connect my phone and in the phone controls I can click the "Update" button and it will change to "Will Update" but doesn't.
That's part of the problem. Once upon a time, iTunes would just automatically update apps from the computer to the phone and now it apparently requires prompting that doesn't work.

Why won't snow leopard install on Mac OSX intel core duo10.5.8

Why won't Snow Leopard install on my Mac O S X 10.5.8 Intel core duo

You need a minimum 1 GB of RAM. It has to be of high quality*: http://www.macmaps.com/badram.html
You should also look over this FAQ to make sure you didn't miss anything*:
http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
Note, in event you were interested in Lion, that Mac is not compatible with Lion unless you misidentified it. Only MacBooks with machine ID 2,1 or later can upgrade to Lion (1,1 and 1,2 are earlier). The Machine ID is in Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info.

Why won't Apple update its iPAD to send messages other than imessages?

Why won't Apple update its iPAD to send messages to phones with systems other and OS? I just purchased an ipad4 for my husband. This limitation is very frustrating. When I purchased and ipad3, I was told how to make the message go through as an SMS; however, this never worked. Had it not been for the fact that my husband has an iphone5 and getting an ipad with the same operating sytem simplifies things for him, it may have been better to get an Android tablet and switch phones!

I understand that, but it does have a message system, so it makes sense that you should be able to receive ALL messages via this system. I do have a phone and I can get them all, but if I sit down at the ipad to check messages, I only get those sent through imessage. Sorry, I'm venting and you probably can't do anything about it. Apple needs to wake up and figure out that if it doesn't change its protocol on the ipad, then people will switch to another system that does. Hoping that someone from Apple sees this.

Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

Because McAffee pays to have their installer "bundled" with the update. It's not right, and the "blind installer" in the update (with no opt out) has been documented and reported.
You can download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly (without any bundled installers) by clicking one of the following links.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Bookmark those for future use.

The first generation Intel-based Mac's were released in January 2006.
Snow Leopard requires an Intel processor:
General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
If you go to the Apple menu & "About this Mac" this will tell you what type of processor you have:

Why won't OSX update to current version?

I have OSX version 10.6.8. When I run software update, it tells me my software is up to date. On my other Macbook Pro, I have 10.9.4. I realize that I will have to run a series of updates to get from 10.6 to 10.9 but why won't software update allow me to update to the next OS version in the sequence?

Because Mavericks is a full version upgrade and not an update; it needs to be downloaded from the Mac App Store, which will take a compatible Mac directly to 10.9.4.

Why won't iOS 7 install on my iPhone 4S

HT5557 Why won't iBook fully install on my iPad 1 ?

Why won't my iPad 1 fully install iBook app ?

What happens when you try to install it ? Have you tried downloading it directly on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it ? And/or tried a soft-reset of your iPad to see if it installs after your iPad has rebooted ?

Why won't software update find Mac App Store

Hi Rhys ...
Which tabs are you referring to?
Do you mean where you see Featured / Top Charts / Categories etc at the top of the window?

Why won't my MacBook install new software updates?

When I click on Software Update it says "Install 11 items." Among them are iTunes 10.6.3, Safari, Garage Band Update, iPhoto Update and so on.
When I click "Install 11 Items" it doesn't install anything. It says I must restart my computer to finish installation. So, I restart. Afterwards it asks for my password, I figure for installations.
But nothing is changed, and when I click updates I get the same 11 program updates. This has happened at least seven times in the past seven tries.
Plus, my battery is stuck. It won't come out of the computer. Though the abve issue is most troubling.
Thanks.

Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) is a purchased product, you can get it from the Mac app store. If your MacBook can support it though you may want to wait and purchase Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) which will become available sometime later this month. It will also be a purchase, but it is not necessary to get Lion first, and it is going to be $20 rather than the $30 for Lion. You can find out if your MacBook will run it on this page.
That security update can be found here. The Java update is available here. You can search for other updates on this page.
I don't know why the installer is not performing as it should. It is highly unlikely that the battery has anything to do with your installation issues.
Best of luck.

Update to 7.1.2 but no space? Update says it's 22.2 MB, but tells me that. Need 1.0 GB of space? I have 613 MB free, why won't it update? I don't want to delete that much. Maybe the entire IOS 7 needs that much space, not just the update?

Why does copy and paste not work here? I'll type again:
update to 7.1.1 says it's 22.2 MB. Why does it require 1.0 GB to install? I have just 613 MB free.

With so little Available storage space, you are risking poor operation of the iPad. You should free up more space.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Why can't I update/install adobe reader on my Mac?

I am trying to read and save items from my credit card and they won't load. Get a popup that says I need to update my adobe reader. I downloaded it andget nothing. Also tried calling their help line and got some guy I had trouble understanding. All he wanted to do was sell me soft wre to fix my computer coasting between $100 and $200, I AM VERY UPSET. Also download asks about reading and agreeing to their terms and liencing, but strangely they don't show me how to find them to agree or review. What is wrong with this company?

You can download Adobe Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
This will get you a copy of reader with no enhancements/ads for other products. The new Reader needs to be installed and the company you are downloading from has no idea if you have Reader on your computer or not. They have no idea. Your credit card company is just doing its usual job of terrible support and service.

Why won't Mountain Lion install on my new 13" Macbook Pro Retina?

I just received my Macbook Pro 13" retina 2 weeks ago. I did a time machine restore and have now decided a fresh install of everything would be better since there are a lot of unnecessary programs and files from my previous macbook pro. I did the reinstall by pressing command+R on restart and reinstalled Mountain Lion and it installed 10.8.1. I then tried to do the Mountain Lion 10.8.2 update, which I previously purchased from the App Store, and it says it is not compatible with my machine. There is no newer machine on the market than mine, so why isn't the latest Mountain Lion compatible? Please help! My iPhoto and other iLife apps are no longer compatible with this OS and I want my Mountain Lion back!

You did it wrong. Do this:
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
The above should install 10.8.2 so you will not have to update.
