Hi,

Im downloading photoshop, and just when I am about to download it, a window pops up saying "Install.  Preparing for instal..."  And then pops up another window asking for administrator password because:

"Setup wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."  So I type in my password and here is a picture:

But when I click ok, this happens:

    Hi Vasyl+S,

    Kindly refer to the below steps:

    1- Please check if you have any browser security extensions installed, please disable them. ( Eg: AD BLOCK, Mcafee site/web adviser, internet security toolbar etc )

    2- Also disable the Firewall of your machine see, OS X: About the application firewall - Apple Support

    3- Disable Firewall of the Internet security program installed on computer.

    4- Since you have a Mac machine then please check and confirm that your Mac gate keeper is set to allow installs from anywhere:

    To do this Go to Apple icon> System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General > Allow apps downloaded from anywhere ( to make these changes click on the padlock on the bottom left corner and enter your Mac password )

    ****These changes are temporary, you can revert these back to normal later.****

    5- After this Launch your Creative Cloud desktop app from your machine, if it works fine then start the installation of Photoshop.

    If the install still fails, then please Uninstall the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application and after that follow the below steps:

    • CC library & CCX processes
    • Adobe Desktop Common
    • Adobe Update daemon
    • Adobe IPC Broker
    • After this anything that says adobe on it do a force quit for it

    2- Go To: Finder > Applications > Utilities > ( Delete these two folders - Adobe creative cloud and Adobe Application Manager )

    3- Right click on Finder icon and  select "Go-To" Folder option.

    4- You will get a text box, type-in below command and then hit 'Return' key.( " Do not miss ~ symbol " )

    ~/library ( It will open User Library folder. )

    6- Again > Right click on Finder icon and  select "Go-To" Folder option > You will get a text box, type-in below command and then hit 'Return' key.

    7- Then navigate to Application Support>Adobe> trash OOBE folder, Adobe Application Manager andAdobe Desktop Common

    8- After this rename the file SL-STORE as SL-STORE_OLD

    9- Run Adobe Cleaner tool > If present Select the option "Adobe Application Manager for Mac OS X 10.6" and then click on "Clean up Selected" .Use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems

    Are you entering your COMPUTER password to prove to your operating system that you have permission to install?

    March 15, 2016

    Obviously you haven't had any Mac experience whatsoever.  Any advanced Mac user (and even most idiots) would know that if you typed in the wrong password the system would prompt you to type it in again saying "Password is incorrect"

    Thanks... idiot
