• Remove the unwanted creative cloud installed when updating CS6 (Mac)

  I use several CS6 applications on my Mac (currently OS X 10.10.5, updated at El Capitan imminent), and today, I downloaded some updates when prompted by Adobe. (I do not use of clouds creative of products or services, I want to.)

  After installation, I discovered that a folder called "Creative cloud" had been created and added to your 'Favorites' in my sidebar of the Finder. When I deleted the folder, a dialog box appears asking me to recreate it, but not identify what type of program had generated dialog! (I chose not to recreate). Adobe has also added a new point on my menu bar.

  Why this software has been installed on my computer? What other changes he has? How can I undo these changes and remove the unwanted software?

  I noticed that there is now a directory "/ Applications/Adobe Creative Cloud" on my computer which, thankfully, includes an uninstaller (although the uninstallation program is actually located a "/ Applications/Utilities/Adobe Creative Uninstaller.app of cloud cloud/Utils/creation"). However, in view of the events leading up to, I don't think convinced uninstaller eliminates effectively all unwanted software, that adobe can be silently installed on my computer.

  More precisely, how to make sure this does not happen every time I then install an update of my software CS6?

  I am particularly upset by that because I tried to read carefully what I was installing (even click on 'read more' or whatever the link says), and I met with absolutely no warning that Adobe was going to make these changes to my computer, or some way to give them. For me, which seems awfully close to the definition of malware. I was hoping that adobe would become more responsible on those issues, account held the incident in 2010 when they silently installed Growl to display promotional messages.

  I hope someone can explain to me what was installed or modified, how can I delete/cancel the it, and how can I keep this from happening.

• Satellite P100-442 - sound after Vista update problem

  Vista Home Premium operating system.

  Since "Vista Update" installed a pilot of its new "Conexant high definition SmartAudio HD2", the sound does not work.
  It does that after I do a "ch for devices modified" via "Device Manager".
  But I do whenever I have start the laptop.
  Should I first remove this driver (and how?) and to install the driver on the Toshiba site?

  Try to restore to an earlier time using System Restore option.

  If everything works again DO NOT install updates for ALL pilot rating. Just install update marked as important. All others (optional) update SHOULD NOT be installed at all.

  To solve some problems of the system, with version beta of El Capitan, I recently went in the preferences system for the App Store has chosen not to receive updates of pre-release and then installed the ordinary El Capitan (10.11.2).  It was a week or two ago.  Suddenly today in the App Store under updates, I get a 'Beta 4 OS X Yosemite' update at the top of the list, and I don't see a way to get rid of him.  I tried right-clicking on the name of update, but I get this error message: ""point is not available: the object you requested is not currently available in the store US.

• Update failed - Vista updates

  Display all installed updates, most "managed" in the descriptor, but many have "failed". Are these failed updates too hard disk space? If so, how can I recover this space? I have 4 separate instances of 'fail' Win XP SP3. But I installed a legal copy of Windows XP Office Professional with FrontPage on my computer (it works perfectly), so I thought that XP SP3 would be advantageous. It turns out that it wasn't.

• X 64 Vista update problems... KB2479628 & KB2393802

  Hi, I had / have problems with Vista updates:

  I can not install more than one at once otherwise that it crashes a BSOD. It's annoying, but I can live with that...

  The latest issue (I wonder about that) which is the last batch of updates (I'm sure it's one of these two: KB2479628 & KB2393802) is making my PC run unstable and stop my antivirus to work.

  When either are installed, my pc freezes at startup and can or cannot enter Vista (safe mode still works). When he gets into Vista, MSE shows a symbol of error indicating that it is not functional / turned on. When I try to turn it on, I get a gel complete system requiring a hard reboot.

  OK, I realized I remember little about it... so I'll reinstall tomorrow and I hope to give more details later

• After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

  After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

  [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) viaControl Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of NIS 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

• I am at my wits end now ragarding Microsoft Windows vista update code "80070246" error Need help.

  Hello

  I have windows vista and for the last few weeks I can't get windows updates. I just get an error with this code 80070246 screen. It says 'never' most recent checks the updates and updates have been installed 'never '. I did the operation of Micorsoft update packages to prepare and package files autonomous but still no luck. I can't do this thing global installer that you burn it to a cd and run your windows disk with as I don't have vista or windows disk that the computer came with it installed, but no disc.

  Completely fed up that I can't install printers etc.. Ive tried to disable my internet security completely taken it out but still no luck so it isn't a firewall problem.

  Can someone please recomment something?

  Yes, this problem did start once my previous [subscription of the antivirus application?] has expired.

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista

  Tip: Contact the manufacturer of the computer for instructions on the use of the hidden restore partition (do not be confused with the system restore) to do a clean install of Vista.

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

       http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspx

  Tip: After getting the computer fully patched, download/install KB971029 manually: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029

  NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs, or updates IE and before installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).

• Impossible to install Vista updates

  I use Vista 32 bit, family premium, SP1, latest installed update is KB955430. Download and install the updates seem to work - until the moment where my system wants to "configurations". Here, the system stops and removes the installed updates.

  What I've done so far:

  -Tried to install SP2 - no success

  -Tried to install the file "MicrosoftFixit50202.msi" - with no success

  -Tried to install the file "au_check_v78f.exe" - no success

  -Follow all the steps (manually, too) of http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b971058&x=10&y=4 - unsuccessfully

  The 'CBS log.zip' file indicates a missing file without saying which file it should be.

  It makes me crazy... Please advice what else should I do to install the latest Vista updates successfully. Thank you very much.

  Download and run the preparation tool for Windows Vista (KB947821) system update. He's trying to fix the problems, which may prevent you from installing Sp2 and other updates. This tool generates a checkSUR.log file C:\Windows\Logs\CBS. Open it and see if there are still questions that cannot be resolved.

  Do a start-up in minimal mode and tr to install Sp2 it. Perhaps other tools to block installation of the Sp2.

• Remove the old live updates

  Removal of old live updates.  Mine back in early 2008. When I request its deletion a window appears with a list of data and told me that if I remove the update, it could cause a problem?

  For Windows XP only:

  Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

  These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=xxxxxx NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

  Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

  In Vista - update uninstall method in Windows Vista is quite different from that in Windows XP.

  Uninstaller for each update folder no longer exists in Vista and the uninstall information is stored by the Volume Shadow Copy service.

  After each update, Volume Shadow Copy service backup only the updated files.

  So with Vista, it's a differential backup, rather than a full backup files for uninstall
  in Windows XP.

  This safeguard mechanism is used to save disk space.

  So basically, you are unable to manually delete the uninstall it from the computer.

• Windows Vista update error 80080005.

  I just bought a new laptop.  I ran windows update and after you download 34 updates, it installed 14 then asked me if I wanted to install IE 8.
  I clicked No. (or remind me later), and then I was forced to do a reboot.
  During the restart, he installed the updates, but gave me an error saying that he had to go back.

  After about an hour, I was able to connect again, but when I went to redo the windows update I got an error code 80080005.

• Vista update may not download due regulationn.

  It is a complement to "Vista update fails KB2808679"

  I watched windowsupdate.log - it is filled with "Update unable to download due to regulations."  KB2808679 is the only problem.

  I thought that Microsoft has helped with update problems; so far, my original message is unanswered, and to 'regulation' everything that I find is 'server busy '.

  I have invested a lot of time in a backup system.
