Installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Leopard (headaches really...)

Hi,
I'm a Tiger user and i have another Mac that runs Leopard. I have Photoshop CS3 on a Disc and used in to install on my mac with Tiger, then when i try with the mac that runs Leopard i run into some issues.
One Error Message states :
"The application Photoshop CS3
(beta10.0x20061208) [k] (Universal) quit
unexpectedly.
When i open the .Dmg on the disc (or when i drag it to the HD) i get the following message :
The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data
in "adobephotoshop1012-06.dmg" could not be read or
written.
(Error code -36)
If anyone can help me it'd be greatly appreciated. like i said i've done this before successfully on a freshly updated Tiger. this problem is new to me. thanks for reading.

*"The application Photoshop CS3*
*(beta10.0x20061208) [k] (Universal) quit*
unexpectedly."
For starters, you're using a beta version, dated Dec 8, 2006...which is not final and still contains bugs... CS3 was not released until Sprint 2007. and second, based on it's file name, your application appears to have been illegally "Kracked"...hense the [k].
If you do in fact have a valid legal license of Photoshop, you should probably post your question on Adobe's forums:

  • When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an erro

    When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Internal Error 2739" I have used the cleanup script included in Adobe Photoshop CS3 installer, and have removed all traces of Adobe apps including the beta versions and Acrobat 8 pro, and I still get the same error, how can I install this application? is there any way or do I have to reformat and reinstall windows?

    Hello everyone,
    I was having the same issue:
    "Setup Error. Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Quit."
    If you receive this error also, press Quit and follow these steps:
    1. Start
    2. Control Panel
    3. Administrative tools (in classical view)
    4. Event Viewer
    5. Application
    You will see something like this:
    Double-Click for error (emphasized by red color). I have an error like this:
    "Error 1327.Invalid Drive: E:\" if you have the same or e.g. Drive F:\ ir whatever letter, you should solve this problem extremely easy - just insert USB-flash into computer (it will launch as E\ or whatever disk) and than run installation again. It will work than.
    Setup doesnt start if disk is offline.

  • How to install adobe photoshop cs3 dvd

       How do I install Adobe Photoshop CS3 DVD to my computer  windows 7  I put the DVD in and nothing comes up to install it

    Hi mvigus,
    If the installer doesn't start automatically (you don't see the autoplay screen), navigate to the contents of your disc in Windows Explorer. Double-click the setup.exe file. Ensure that you are logged in as the administrator of your computer. Also, after the installation is complete, run the software with administrator permissions.
    Let me know if this helped.
    Thanks,

  • Installing Adobe Photoshop CS3

    I have not had any luck installing Photoshop CS3 after uninstalling The Beta PScs3
    G5 2 gig   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I'm in the same boat:
    A little history. I had it installed on two machines, a G5 desktop and a new MBP.
    G5
    First tried installing on the G5. I ran the de-installer application that was in the HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/installers folder. I checked via Spotlight and found lots of files pertaining to CS3 so deleted the via Spotlight and the Find function.
    Result: can't install due to conflict.
    Realized that I hadn't de-authorized CS3 so brought over the application from the MBP, launched and was able to go thru the de-authorization process.
    Result: conflict with CS3
    Re-ran the de-installer again with same result.
    I then tried the "Clean" script provided by Adobe and got the message: Couldn't open "Applications/Adob.". Well of course, is was re moved by the other application.
    MBP
    Knowing about the de-autorization necessary I launched CS3 to go thru the process and was told that the trial period had expired and I had to remove CS3.
    Ran the de-installer which left a lot of files that I removed as I did on the G5.
    Result: Conflict with CS3.
    I have gone thru the various Adobe Tech Notes but have found nothing addressing the state I find myself in now.
    Does anyone have a suggestion as how to proceed.
    Note: I've tried reaching Adobe Support via phone, with the obvious result - a quick message about following the Tech Note and then they hang up.
    Do you think an Archive and Install might be required?

  • When trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS3, an error message comes up. What do I do?

    The error message says, "The Installer Database is corrupted. Please contact Adobe Support if this problem continues." What do I do? It won't install at all, I just get the error message.

    Which operating system are you using?
    Do you have any other adobe software installed like photoshop elements?
    see if this helps:

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Leopard problem changing number values in the tools

    I know that Adobe has mentioned on their site that this is a known problem and that the fix is going to come from a Leopard update. I have not seen anything on this problem from the Mac side so I am wondering when a fix can likely be expected. The Adobe link is http://www.adobe.com/support/pdfs/PhotoshopCS3_LeopardIssue.pdf
    Any clue?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    This is a user-to-user forum, so no one here works for Apple. None of us have any idea what they have running behind the scenes. I'm afraid you're just going to have to wait and see like the rest of us. It's against the Terms of Use of the Apple Discussions to speculate about unannounced or unreleased products, but the Macworld Expo starts in San Francisco in a little more than two weeks. In the past, Apple has released software updates at the same time as the expo to support new software and hardware. No one here can speculate if this will include the update you're looking for, however.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 MSI Error

    Hello,
    I have been getting the wierd error when I try to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 using the MSI package that I created.
    Could not write value data to key \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\Handshake\{GUID}. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personel.
    This error happens regardless of who is trying to install the MSI pacakage (regular account or Administrator). I even tried to give explicit permission to the regkey, however OS prevents me to do so. I would really appreciate if any of you have seen this error and guide me.
    Thank you in advance.

    "using the MSI package that I created."
    Have you tried installing without that, it may be a problem there.
    "regular account or Administrator"
    Have you tried creating a new account or using the actual 'Administrator' account (not an account with Administrative permissions)?

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 - Problem with Trial

    I recently downloaded and installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 directly from Adobe as it is the latest version my Mac supports. Upon start up, I am greeted with two options: a) I have a serial number for this product. and b) I want to try Adobe Photoshop CS3 free for 30 days. Seeing how I am simply looking to evaluate and have not purchased said product, I selected option b.
    However, upon clicking "Next >" I am greeted by an error. "Problem with Trial" I am left with nothing but wasted time. This is the first time I have ever installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 so I do not understand why it will only allow access with a serial number. Any help to allow me to try this software is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Could the trial have a time bomb in it that prevents use after several years? There's not much of a need for Adobe to allow trials to run for so long after the product's life cycle has concluded.

    I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on a new ASUS ASM11BB001O computer equipped with 64-bit Windows 7.  I use a "bundle" approach, first loading Photoshop 6, then upgrading with CS upgrade and then CS3 upgrade.  The installation goes smoothly until I add PS CS, and then it balks at the "accept" Adobe conditions screen.  I have two other (Gateway) computers with Windows 7, 64-bit, on both of which the PS-6, CS-CS3 pathway worked fine.  Any thoughts on how to get this working?  Thanks

    If your goal is to install and activate CS5 there is no need to install anything preceding it.  You will only need to have the serial number from the preceding version that you upgrade from (CS3 I guess).

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Registration screen blank and unresponsive,

    I just installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended Version, and was eager to use it when I got the registration screen...and it froze.
    It just blanks out after selecting "Do Not Register" and "Register Later"
    I don't know how to fix it...can you guys help me?
    My computer's hardware is:

    Let me know if you need any other information.

    > and as the only way another user could reply is if they had that EXACT problem and also had a solution,
    I've noticed this message from you several times, John. Often in cases like this where there is a possibility that another user has had the exact same problem, and thus might have an answer.
    I suggest that you shorten your message to "You may need to contact Adobe for help, and the following two lines" which will seem less naggy.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Will Not Install PLEASE HELP TRIED EVERYTHING

    I downloaded from Adobe the Photoshop CS3 Extended Trial directly from Adobe. (BTW I am on Vista 32)
    The first time I tried installing, ADBEPHSPCS3_WWE.exe successfully unpacked, I successfully transitioned to the Adobe Photoshop CS3 installation, and it appeared to install. After 30 minutes or so, the installer finished and simply said that shared components had installed but the Photoshop CS3 Component install failed.
    I always got in the log Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC,version="8.0.50727.163",type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18 e3b",processorArchitecture="x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information
    This, I know, is everyones typical problem.
    I turned off firewall and antivirus.
    I uninstalled ALL Adobe and Macromedia programs, including Flash and Acrobat.
    I used Windows Install Cleanup Utility to remove them.
    I downloaded the CS3 Clear from Adobe and cleared at levels 1, 2, and 3.
    I created the Administrator account on my computer and tried everything on the Administrator account.
    I tried installing Photoshop CS3 with compatibility mode for XP SP2.
    I tried:
    1. Open an Administrator command prompt by right clicking on Start -> All
    Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt and selecting "Run as
    Administrator" and clicking "Allow" for the elevation prompt
    2. In the command prompt, type the command below
    fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\
    3. Reboot the machine
    I tried:
    Get command prompt up. It has to be run with admin rights so save yourself some time and run it this way.........Start/programs/accessories/.....right click command prompt and click run as administrator.
    Then paste these commands in 1 after the other
    regsvr32 vbscript.dll (THEN PRESS ENTER)
    and
    regsvr32 jscript.dll (AGAIN PRESS ENTER)
    I even tried installing in Safe Mode but the CS3 setup would not initialize.
    I do not know what else to do. I have CS2 which I will use, but I was really hoping to move to CS3 which is supposed to be better and faster. Does anyone know anything else to do? I am not a computer noob but I am not about to reinstall Vista. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

    I was in the same predicament and after spend many hours over several days trying a multitude of things I finally found an easy fix (below):
    ========================================
    Assuming you have Internet Explorer 7 go to:
    Tools/Internet option/Advanced
    Click the Reset dialog box. This will bring IE7 back to its default settings. You should reboot your computer. After logging back into Windows load IE and let it take you though its initial setup. When you are done close IE and install Photoshop.. This worked for me,,, hopefully it will work for you!

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended installed but not working

    Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended was added to my computer when I bought it in Thailand.
    Now (I am no longer in Thailand) I want to use it but I can't seem to open/do anything.
    Even when asking for help with the 'Help' button it states that "There was an error in initializing the Adobe Help application. You may need to re-install the applicaiton and the Help componen".
    How do I do this? Or am I missing something?
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Haha... I like the honesty!
    I was in bad need for a computer and went to one of those fancy, big shopping malls recommended to me by a couple of friends. I didn't even know I had Adobe Photoshop until today. I am not sure I really got screwed or things just work differently. The computer is a little strange... (I can write in Thai สกร่ฟส กส่ฟกส า่ฟส ่ if I would like to) but so far it's ben okay.
    Anyways, what would you suggest I do Mylenium?
