    I am a brand new Member of cloud.  I heard about the update of the retina.  Assuming that's where updates seems logically I went first to the application "Adobe Application Manager".  Without closing the "Adobe Application Manager" I open Photoshop and went to the Help menu and select "Updates."... » ; a second window in the Application already handler open "Adobe".

    I chose the update of all.

    The result is less to:

    Now, I closed "Adobe Application Manager" and reopened "Photoshop" and again selected "updates... " on the Help menu.  The "Adobe Application Manager" opened again with just a window this time and the updates happened correctly.

    I was hoping a updates would be the "Adobe Application Manager", I don't think so.

    So, if I were you I would not select "Updates."... "in an Adobe application unless the " Adobe Application Manager " is closed until they fix IT...

    If you read my entire post you would have seen that after closeing "Adobe Application Manager" updates completed normally next time I chose "updates... "in the Help menu in Photoshop.

    Hi joselizama,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. What is the full error message that you receive?
    3. You have security software installed on the computer?
    4. When was the last time it was working fine?

    Method 1

    I suggest that you restart all services related to Windows update and check later if you can install the updates of Windows on the computer.

    To restart services required by Windows Update

    You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

    1. Open administrative tools by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Administrative Tools.
    2. Double-click Services. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    3. In the Services window, double-click in the Background Intelligent Transfer Service.
    4. Under the tab general , under Startup type, click Manual, and then click apply.
    5. Click the connection tab and make sure that the service is enabled in every hardware profile listed.
    6. Click the general tab, click Start, and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    7. In the Services window, double-click Windows event log.
    8. Under the tab general , next to Startup type, make sure that Automatic is selected.
    9. Next to Service status, check whether the service is started. If not, click Start, and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    10. In the Services window, double-click the Windows Update service.
    11. Under the tab general , next to Startup type, make sure that Automatic is selected.
    12. Next to Service status, check if the drive is listed. If not, click Start, and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    13. In the Services window, double-click software licensing.
    14. Under the tab general , next to Startup type, make sure that Automatic is selected.
    15. Next to Service status, check if the drive is listed. If not, click Start, and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    16. Close the Services window and try to install Windows updates again.

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails then I would suggest that reset you the default Windows Update components and later try to install updates.

  • Cannot open the windows, want to do a clean reinstall of Vista.

    BACKGROUND

    You try to re - start I couldn't open the windows. Repair of the system would not turn on, and I kept circling of "a problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    Any suggestions on my screen in question this system repair or - of course - the system restore. Which is nice, if you can get Windows to open, but...

    The instructions for starting a "CD or DVD" switch and put with the disk (provided by Dell with computer) were not working. Well, he tried to work, but turned around again to "a problem has detected...". »

    MEASURES TAKEN

    She drew out to the Geek Squad. Said diagnosis all the hardware is dandy, it's a software problem.

    I brought her home today and now I want to do a clean install of Vista. (Makes one of the Windows platform, less than a year, no problem.)

    SO FAR, I HAVE...

    Tried to boot Windows from the disc. Nope

    Looked all over Kingdom come to get instructions on what to do next.

    I have my files on a portable hard drive, which is not a problem.

    There must be a way forward here - can't be that hard, right? But I don't find it.

    And Yes, I think to Exchange Vista for Windows 7 soon, but would like to make on this machine, because he got a big enough hard and plenty of RAM to my needs for a few more years.

  • my email is open, but no window shows? I get the email but cannot open the window to see?

    My mail app is open. I get an email, but I can't open the window to see. I restarted my computer and right clicking on the icon to open a new window. What can I do to get the window to open it? I can see my mail on other devices or online.

    Please stop Mail. Force quit if necessary.

    Back up all data before proceeding.

    If you use OS X 10.11 ("El Capitan") or version later, triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

    ~/Library/Mail/V3/MailData

    If you use an older version of Mac OS X, use this line:

    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData

    Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to folder

    in the menu bar. Paste in the box that opens by pressing Command + V, then press return.

    A file window opens. In it he must be files with names as follows:

    Index of the envelope

    ExternalUpdates.storedata

    Move these files to the desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder can have names more long that begin as above. Move these files, if any, in the trash.

    Mail recovery. It should invite you to re - import your messages. You can get a warning that the index is corrupted and that Mail must quit smoking. Click OK. Generally speaking, the process takes a few minutes, but this can take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In this case, you will be able to speed things up temporarily by adding your file to the list of personal information protection in the Spotlight preferences pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.

    If the import operation stalls or fails with an error message, quit Mail, delete the two new index files (maintenance of the original that you moved to the desktop) and try again. According to several reports, the second attempt can succeed if one does not.

    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files that you moved to the desktop. If not, post your results.

    So basically when I click on windows update window appears blank and disappears again. Any idea on what to do to fix? I don't know what happened and I don't know how to fix it. Maybe download something? But I don't know what.

    Thanks for any help you can give

    Quote: "the Windows Update forum is one of the three forums that doesn't have different forums for different versions of Windows (Internet Explorer and the game are the others)."  With this in mind, we ask that you postat LEAST the following information.  If you don't know how to find some of the information and then post what you can and let us know that you need help to find information.

    Minimum information to validate:
    Version of Windows and Service pack level. (Windows XP Home Edition, SP3; Vista Home Premium, SP1; Windows 7 Ultimate, etc...)
    Post also if you use 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows.

    Update the number of the last update installed before any problem.  If you do not know the number of update, then give the date that the update has been installed.  The number of updates update failed.

    Error code updates failed or if you think an update caused a blue screen, give the blue screen error codes.

    Other information to validate:
    Measures already taken to correct the problem and the results of the measures.

    If the question is never happened before with other updates.

    A few other useful parts are:
    What program antivirus you use, if it is up-to-date, and there has never been any other installed antivirus program.
    If your version of Windows has been upgraded from a previous version or if it came with (or clean installed with) the version you are currently using.
