Install asks for a disk?

I downloaded Illustrator CS5.1 (for Mac) after purchasing it online. But during the install process it asks for a disk. How do I install the software without a disk? I thought everything I needed was in the downloaded files?

Yes, you only need your download. However, you may have other Adobe software on the system that you once installed using a disk and it messes with the AI installer. The best way to resolve such issues is to run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and start with a clean slate.

  • CS3 Design Premium won't install - Asking for CS4 disk 1

    I own both CS3 Design Premium and CS4 Production Premium on my iMac with Snow Leopard. Mac OS X 10.5.8
    I have all CS4 programs installed.  I only have Dreamweaver installed on CS3.
    I need to use InDesign and tried to install from CS3 Design Premium disk.  After disk one runs for a short time, the program asks me to insert disk 1 from CS4 Production Premium.  After reading that disk, it asks to put CS3 disk 1 in.  These messages continue and I can't get anywhere.
    Anything I can do?  Uninstall both programs and reinstall? 
    Thanks

    Inserting the disks over a dozen times a piece finished the installation.

  • Trial install asks for disk to install - CS6 Master Suite

    I installed the Master Suite collection quite a while ago on a previous computer with no problem. Now though, I'm being asked for a disk just to go through with a trial installation.
    I'll clck on "trial" installation choice. I'll click on "next" and it'll look like it's going to install. However, after a few moments, it'll stop and ask me to insert the disk to continue. It's a trial, so what disk?

    what os?
    what are the file names/extensions that you downloaded and are they all in the same directory?

  • [SOLVED] Diablo 2 wont stop asking for the disks

    No matter how I try to install Diablo 2, it always asks for the disk even when the disk in in my drive. I have tried installing it on a Windows XP machine, updating to the latest patch, and then moving it to my computer, and I have tried installing from the disks directly. Both times, it asks for either the Diablo 2 install or the Expansion disk.
    What is weird is on my previous Arch build with XFCE4, installing with the disks got far enough to the part where you switch disks but I was having problems unmounting them while still keeping the install going. Transferring from the XP machine worked but the game crashed. This is probably due to my winecfg settings. But I'm not sure what I am doing differently this time on KDE.

    Oh I see. That worked perfectly. Thanks!

  • Keeps on asking for "repair disk" after i moved the application to a folder

    Hello, I moved a .app to a folder then whenever i open the app it ask for "repair disk" but when i move it back where it was originally installed, it doesn't have that. is there a way so i can leave that app in the folder and the "repair disk" stuff wont pop up? Also, is someone wlling to give me the icon folder for Adobe Premium CS3 please?

    Some apps don't like to be moved - especially if they were installed using an installer program.
    If you want to organize your apps, it's best to leave them all where they are in /Applications folder, and create aliases to them. Then organize the aliases into custom folders.

  • I lost my original disk for photoshop 7... I need to update.. it won't let me.. and keeps asking for the disk.. even though the program is on my pc... How can i get my update?

    I have photoshop 7 on my pc but have lost my original disk.... I went to update it and  the update is not seeing the file on my pc... and it keeps asking for my disk.. but i can't find it...
    How can i update it...

    Ah, you had Photoshop 7.0 working, and now it's not.  I see that as a separate issue to updating it.  I'm not sure why it would ask you to update it.
    Do you know whether you have 7.0 or 7.0.1 at this point?  You might be able to do a Properties function on Photoshp.exe and see that info.
    You could make an attempt to reset Photoshop's preferences to defaults.  Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt simultaneously immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set.  If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.
    Only other thing that comes to mind is to use Windows System Restore to restore back to a restore point where Photoshop was working, or restore from a backup (you do make backups I hope).
    If that fails, and you need to do a fresh install but no longer have the original disk and serial number I'm afraid you may be out of luck.  There's no place I know of from which to download a fresh full copy of Photoshop 7.0.

  • ITunes keeps asking for a disk while I am trying to uninstall

    I am trying to uninstall iTunes so that I can reinstall it.  However, it keeps asking for a disk.  Also I have tried to use Windows Cleanup Utility 7.2, but get an error when I attempt to run it.  I think I may have started uninstalling the components in the wrong order.  Any help is appreciated.  I am using Windows 8.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    If you cannot get a component to uninstall properly move on to the next one, then delete the named folder. The reinstall should be successful.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • When Burning a movie, it keeps asking for more disks

    I have finally gotten around to trying to burn a movie and after I have everything set to go. I click on burn once then the second time to start burning. It asks for the disk, which I insert. Goes through I believe stage 3, then spits out the disk and asks for a new one. I did this even though I thought it was strange because I obvioulsy can only use one disk to view the movie. So I put the new disk in and let it go a while later it asked for another disk. At this point, I cancelled the burn. Help what am I doing wrong. I have looked through all the help topics and the burning section is very vague.

  • Windows wont start, Recovery Disk asking for another disk, only can with 2

    My son was surfing the web when IE stopped responding.  Window would not close so he held the power button until the laptop shut off.  When he tried to start laptop again, could only get as far as the windows loading bar, but it would not load.  After unsuccessfully trying a StartUp Repair we used the Recovery & Application Disk, holding down the C. After it appeared to run succesfully we got a boot manager missing error.  So we tried the Recovery Disk again.  Now it just continues to ask for additional disk but the Recovery Disk set is only two disk set.  This is a L305-s5875 Satellite that we have had for about 11 months.  If anyone has any suggestions we would greatly appreciate it. 

    Try cleaning disk with alcohol,with soft tissue paper.That is what i did to get disk to work.
    Also try and hit start and F12 and then change boot menue to Cd/Dvd insted of hardrive
    and then hold down c or try without holding down ckey.As a last try start cimputer and hold
    gown the statr buton and 0 (ie zero)  together for 1 min and see what happens.
           Yours trily ,

  • Installing indesign : asking for photoshop disk

    after a hard drive crash, i'm trying to reinstall all my programs. i've successfully installed photoshop and illustrator but during my indesign cs3 install (downloaded from the adobe.com) it asks me to insert my photoshop cs4 disk. since i've purchased photoshop online i obviously don't have a disk to install. the last disk i have is photoshop cs. i tried inserting the disk to see if it would would and it doesn't.
    so, issue #1, why is it asking for a photoshop disk when i'm installing indesign
    #2, how do i work around this?
    called the help line but they won't help me because it's not the current version of indesign.

    That's pretty strange. The CS3 installers were pretty flakey, though....
    What's the OS?
