InDesign/Creative Suite Installation Problem

I just installed Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 to a new iMac, using the Adobe chat to assist. Both Photoshop and Illustrator open without any problems. But InDesign will not open. I did use the Mac Migration Assistant progrtam to move everything from my old iMac to a new iMac, which in hindsight I"m not sure I should have done. Any ideas on how I can get this resolved?

never migrate adobe products. they should be properly installed. http://prodesigntools.com/move-adobe-cs5-between-computers-or-windows-to-mac.html
undo everything you can, clean your computer and then properly install your software per http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

Creative Suite Installation problem

I lost my original Dreamweaver 8 during OS change to Vista - I successfuly downloaded the 3 Disc Creative Suite to my desktop. Right clicked "Run As Administrator" to begin the download to my C:\Program Files
After Disc 1 is complete, the installer stops and asks to insert Disc 2 to continue. After I right click "run" again for Disc 2, disc 2 does not continue the installation, but I am asked to install it in another folder.
Any idea how to continue this installation properly?
I read the install notes but could not find a solution.

LivingGreen please see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1195856 which discusses the activation server shut down for Creative Suite 2 and how to obtain non-activating versions of the software.

Creative Suite Installation problems

If anyone is running into any problems installing Creative Suite, try running the 'Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool' it resolved the problem I was having trying to download Photoshop CS6 from the Adobe Application Manager.
Here's the download page link:

Thanks for sharing Rich.
The Cleaner Tool can really help out in those cases when the standard uninstaller fails (always try that first though)

Adobe Creative Suite Installation Problem

I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard that I'm trying to install on a Windows XP Version 2002 Service Pack 2. When I insert the disk a message pops up saying that the CD is either corrupted or there is an error with software. I checked and this version of suite should be able to work with my version of windows. Help please!

copy the disk contents to a desktop directory and install from that directory.

I want to do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro on my computer and my installation of Adobe Design Premium CS3 is not functioning. I cannot start it to get in and deactivate the Creative Suite installation.

I need help with deactivation.

if you're using the same computer hardware to reinstall your cs3, you don't need to deactivate first.
but if there's a significant hardware change you can ask adobe support for an activation count reset. contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

Urgent to be solved: a problem with Creative suite installation

Hi
I had an iso original copy for Adobe creative suite CS4 and mounted it using demon tools.. and when I'm installing, it asked ,before the progress step, to insert the Disk 1 in the same drive that I'd mounted the iso cd copy in....
I need it urgently, and the installation isn't completed before I insert this CD needed
tell me please what to do
waiting>>>>

Why not use the disks that were shipped with original program? You can
drag all the files onto your hard drive and install from there.

CS4 Creative Suite Installation Error

Hello,
I am trying to install just the photoshop from the creative suite 4 (design premium) onto my windows 7 computer. The computer i'm installing it onto already has the illustrator, dreamweaver, indesign etc already installed from this suite (this was installed 1-2 years ago). At the time I installed these I had just photoshop 5 on the computer so didn't install the photoshop 4 from the suite. I have now uninstalled the photoshop 5 and put it onto a different computer. I now want to install the CS4 photoshop from the suite onto the computer with illustrator etc. I start the installation (just for photoshop from the suite) and it gets about 3/4 of the way through the first disc when an error message appears (see attached image). It says that the error is AdobeColorCommonSetRGB, Error: Error 2. I would prefer not to have to uninstall the entrie suite just to install the photoshop section of the creative suite, but will do this if required. I think I have completely unistalled the photoshop 5, but is there any way this may be preventing the cs4 photoshop from installing properly?
Thanks,
Shannon

I would run the Adobe Cleaner Tool

Then reboot. Then reinstall.

Adobe CS6 Design Suite Installation Problem

I have the serial number for my Adobe CS6 Design Suite but when I enter it into the installer it says that its invalid

Hi Pallavi,
Welcome To The Forums
Did you obtain the serial number from Adobe? Which operating system are you using? Do you have any other Adobe software installed? Are you able to register the serial number successfully on Adobe.com? What is the Platform of the Adobe CS6 Design Suite ( WIndows or Mac)?.
You can always contact us http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=creative-suite&topic=downloading-installing-an d-setting-up .

Will In design Creative Suite 2 work with new Lion OS 10.7.2?

Lion does not support PowerPC, Rosetta was removed.
CS2 was always a problem on Intel macs, many waited for CS3 and above to come out before moving to a Mac Pro.

Creative Suite CS4: Problems with font managing software

It seems that there are some issues of the applications of the creative suite CS4 with the font managing software MainType (http://www.high-logic.com/maintype.html).
With standard settings, CS4 no longer recognizes PostScript Type 1 Fonts loaded by MainType (which did not occur with CS3 and older versions). The only solution so far is this workaround: Within MainType enable under "Tools -> Options" the option "Copy Type 1 Postscript fonts to Windows fonts folder" and CS4 will load these fonts again.
This seems to be a bug of CS4. Are there problems with other font managing programs?
regards
fabian

After reading tons of forums about this issue, it does seem to be an issue with CS4 not recognizing fonts the way that CS3 did. Wish they had mentioned that little feature when they released it. They even go as far as to say they do not support certain programs for type handling in Windows. Copying them to the system folder is a workaround, but it is not available easily in programs like Extensis' Suitcase, which is long overdue an upgrade. LinoType beta tested a new application for Windows, but when I sent an email to them asking about the release date for the their final version, their ignorant customer support sent me a link to their website pointing out that it is not yet available, and not answering my initial question of when.
I don't entirely blame Adobe, it seems as though a lot of companies have dropped the ball on this issue, and since many people have Type 1 fonts they've been using for years, they will have to repurchase (if available) those fonts in the newer OTF format which everyone seems to support. OTF is a much nicer format and more portable cross-platform, but it's simply inconvenient to not be able to use all of your fonts at your own discretion easily. I'm not sure what the big deal was with not including support for Type 1 fonts, unless that's most of the reason that the Adobe apps were crashing before... corrupt versions of the fonts they talked us into purchasing, etc... Adobe used to make ATM for managing postscript fonts, but it doesn't work on Vista to my knowledge. It would be nice if they would recommend a font manager other than the Windows system folder.
I figure Adobe was hoping that it would not be a major issue since their wonderful PDF format has taken hold for printing. Print shops do not have to install fonts before printing a piece anymore. Most people will read in these forums about the loss of support, throw up their hands and shake their heads, but do nothing about it. After all they too probably purchased the CS4 suite without knowing about this issue and have already spent their money. It doesn't look as though it's an issue on the Mac, but by the time you throw $3000 at an entry level Mac workstation and $1600 at the basic adobe apps, that's not a solution either. Especially when you have to go out and buy all new fonts anyhow, since the macs will not support the Windows postscript typeface formats either.
After doing a little price shopping for typefaces, I'm trying to try to keep using the few OTF and TTF fonts I've purchased since they're still working, since the prices of fonts these days are astronomical. I've installed a few fonts in the system folder, but too many and Acrobat distiller crashes. It's not cost effective to spend all of your income from design on $1600 font family sets, just to make changes to a document where you might have used a postscript face. Especially in this economy... It's another case of the investor getting rewarded for the release of an application and the customer is left holding the bag. Hopefully it's a bug, but not likely. It's probably some mandated decision by the higher ups in Adobe.
I'm sure larger companies with hundreds of employees probably have site licenses for typefaces in the OTF format, so for them it's not a problem, and since most people using PCs to do design opted for that platform because of the cost issue, Adobe probably doesn't care about them either. Maybe a solution will arise in the future, but it doesn't look likely. You will probably have to get the new formats of typefaces one by one.

Can I change Adobe ID of a CS6 creative suite installation, after it's been installed?

Can I change the Adobe ID which was used to install CS6 creative suite, after it's been installed? One of the students has used his own adobe ID for an installation (licence for 20 users) and I would like to have them registered only under the admin's Adobe ID so need to reverse the association of his personal ID with his CS6 installation?
Thanks!
Niek

No if you wish to change the association/registration of Creative Suite 6 you will need to contact our support team as indicated by Mylenium in message #1.

Creative Suite Installer language

I have successfully installed the Creative Cloud Installer on my desktop - all works fine. I have tried to do the same on my laptop and the Installer App is not in English (might be Dutch - I am not sure). I have check my language under my system prefs and they are English and my finder is English... what is going on? How can I sort it? Thanks for your help.

It is the installer App that is in the wrong language not anything like Photoshop etc - I haven't actually downloaded any of the creative suite yet.
It is now working but I had uninstall the app and reinstall it again. No idea what was wrong but it is now happy and so am I. Thanks for trying to help though.

Installing Creative Suite - Administrator problem

I had downloaded Creative Suite from the Adobe Site. I started to install it from the .exe file and eventually received a message that I needed Administrative Priviledges. I am the administrator and the computer says I cannot change to a Standard setting?

Hi DrDaveSN,
Right click on setup.exe and run as administrator. If still the same issue then try installing from hidden admin account: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ .
