Activation CS3 on Mac
I needed to transfer the license to Adobe CS3 from one Mac to another. The problem came when I tried to activate CS3 on the new system:
On the old Mac, I tried to deactivate the license, but do not see this menu item:
What can I do so that I can deactivate the license?
you have a volume license. Contact support.

FTP transfers hang in CS3 for Mac/10.5.4
This is a topic that has been continually raised on this
forum, but never fully solved. I am using Dreamweaver CS3 on Mac OS
10.5.4.
When making a connection to my site's host, the client
connects properly, several files are transferred, then the
connection hangs as Dreamweaver continually tries to upload a file,
but is unsuccessful. This occurs while uploading different pages
with different files. The hang occurs after a few seconds of
activity.
For the record, I have tried both passive and non-passive
transfers, I am not operating behind a firewall, I have altered the
connection timeout settings from everything between 3 seconds to
120 seconds (60 is default). My site uses a fixed IP address and
the problem occurs both on my desktop (Mac Pro) and my laptop
(Macbook Pro) in different locations with different networks.
Background: Dreamweaver MX had this problem, CS2 fixed it,
CS3 has broken it again:
Dreamweaver
FTP problem
Fact: Using the exact same connection settings in Transmit,
the transfers have no problem. Dreamweaver CS2 does not have this
problem, either on Mac or PC.
It's time that Adobe got serious about fixing this. When a
thread exists with 80+ messages of complaint and there is no
resolution, there is a problem.
If anyone can shed light on this, it would be most
appreciated.Ok, first off that thread was solved from what I read. The
original poster had an issue where they could only connect to their
server via IP address and not the domain name in 10.5.0 and 10.5.1.
They were told to fix the DNS and that the 10.5.2 update solved the
issue from Apple's end when it was released. This is now 10.5.4 so
this problem should be gone from the original poster because that
topic was started in October of last year.
Next, Mac does have a firewall by default like Windows. Look
in the System Preferences->Security->Firewall. Set it to
allow all incoming connections (basically off).
Next, have you gone through the FTP troubleshooting steps?
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14834
If you have not gone through those at this point I would
highly recommend starting there. This will eliminate the cause a
bit more. Also on the Mac platform, I do not believe that I have
ever seen DW transfer successfully when Passive FTP is turned off
due to the Mac firewall, so I would recommend leaving that checked
while you test through the above KB article.
If you continue to have issues with the FTP after going
through those steps please post back with the progress.
And one other note. Adobe does not normally check these
forums. If you do require advanced support Adobe does have contact
information which can be found from the link at the top of these
forums (and every page of the site if I am not mistaken).
And lastly, as a suggestion I would recommend downloading the
CS4 beta (
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/dreamweavercs4/
). All you need to run it past the 2-day limit is your CS3 serial
number. If something is broken in that version you would be more
likely to see it patched before the release as opposed to CS3 which
is on its way out. Also on that page you will find a link to the
CS4 forums which Adobe does check for bugs being that it is a beta
product. -
Installing InDesign CS3 on Mac OS 10.9.5 Mavericks
Installation of InDesign CS3 on Mac OS 10.9.5 Mavericks
This question is Not Answered.
s c perks Oct 14, 2014 6:04 AM
1. I have InDesign CS3, which I bought about 6 years ago, and installed on my MacBook Pro. I have now got a new Mac Pro running OS 10.9.5 Mavericks. When I bought the machine I asked Apple if I would be able to install my InDesign and they said there would be no problem. But it will not install. The intsllation fails every time near the end. It installs Bridge and one other components, both of which it calls shared components. But InDesign is not installed.
I went to the Adobe web site and looked up what to do. I got to a page that had my product on and it seemed to be telling make I must download an installer. When I clicked on this link, however I got a page with the following message:
HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
I do not know what to do now.
2. If I do download an installer (I did not need to do this when I first installed the programme on my lap top MacBook Pro 6 years ago, but just installed it from the disc), how do I get rid of the downloader afterwards, since I read somewhere, but cannot remember where, that I should get rid of the installer afterwards but that I should not put it in the trash bin?
Thank you for any help you can give me.
Stephen PerksMany thanks for your help. I will try this. After posting this question yesterday I contacted Adobe and was astonished to find that they do not sell InDesign and do not support it and that one can only upgrade to monthly or yearly rental of CreativeCloud. I'm afraid for me this is nonsense, and I consider it very bad practice on Adobe's part. I will have to go to QuarkExpress instead if I cannot install Indesign CS3, which I nearly did do 6 years ago, but after reading such good reviews of InDesign and got it. I wish now I'd got Quark! I appreciate your help.

Cut/Paste from Word to Illustrator CS3 for Mac suddenly not working
This issue regards Illustrator CS3 for Mac on a Mac Pro with 6 GB.
Exactly one week ago I created a number of Illustrator files by cutting charts from a Word 2008 document and pasting them into an Illustrator document.
In the past I have dragged the images (or clip art) or simply used Control-C or even Control-X, but by whatever method I opted for, getting the image from Word to Illustrator CS3 has not been a problem.
Yesterday I got a new chart and a request to replace an old image - one that I had created last week on Tuesday by the Drag/Drop or Cut/Paste method. For reasons I can't begin to imagine the process simply won't work now.
I also find that if I simply select text in a Word Document, hit Ctrl-C and then try a Ctrl-V in Illustrator I don't get to see my text pasted in - ONLY if I already have a text block open and the cursor in place will I get to see the text copied over into Illustrator. This is very strange and not at all how things have worked in the past - typically I would see the new Text Object just appear, and then I could move it to wherever I wanted.
I have opened up a number of old files that I know were created with copied text and also opened the associated Word files (earlier versions of Word) and again find that I can't copy text over, or even move images over - even though I clearly could do this before. I have also tried entirely new files - also with no success.
I was at an Apple one-to-one session this morning and they were more than mystified by this. I can Cut and Paste into Adobe Photoshop Elements, but I can't even cut and paste from Adobe Photoshop Elements into Illustrator CS3. I can drag the Photoshop file (from the Finder window) into the Illustrator document and poof - get my image that way, but it's as an image only. If the base image in question is a vector image or something else having a plurality of elements, I can't then select the elements in Illustrator to change their color, delete them, or otherwise play with them.
I have brought up a word document on another Mac system that also has Illustrator CS3 and find that it too can't drag/drop cut/paste between the two applications. At Apple, we did confirm that such ability is operational in the new Illustrator CS4, but none of their store systems still have CS3 to provide yet a third system to test.
I have deleted my Illustrator CS3 preferences, tried flushing the p-ram, and of course run fix and repair permissions - no dice.
My Mac systems update daily and there is nothing in the main update log that shows anything for Adobe or Office (nor do I think there should be). Adobe Update reports that everything is up to date, and I don't see a history file to know what might have changed in the last week. Office also reports fully up to date and happy.
As I can cut and paste the images into an email for Mail and into Photoshop, I am fairly certain that it is NOT a Microsoft Office 2008 issue. The fact that another Mac with Illustrator CS3 also can't cut and paste suggests that is is really not something personal to my main system.
It is almost as if this is some clandestine "update" intended to encourage me to buy Illustrator CS4. Given that I bought Illustrator CS3 less than a year ago, I really am not eager to buy the new version. The greeting on the Adobe Support page that CS3 is no longer the current version and therefore supported was most annoying.
I am really hoping that someone out there has an idea of what to try changing, removing and/or adjusting with respect to Adobe Illustrator CS3.I tried the Select by Path option - can't believe I missed it - and found it made no difference.
I actually uninstalled and reinstalled the whole app. When I tried to simply re-install (can't remember it's exact phrase) it got part way through and then demanded another disk - but I only have one DVD with the application - the extra DVD is for tutorials and it didn't accept that one either. So I restarted that process and chose to completely uninstall. Then reinstalled - hey with only my one disk - gee, just like the first time. And then it seemed to work.
I was not aware of the save as PDF option - but yes I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac so that option is there - and it seems to work too.
There were of course a slue of updates, and I let them all proceed - but even with them all in place the system is fine and I can once again drag and drop / cut and paste things back and forth. I just tried a text block and "The Quick Brown Fox" pasted in with a clipping mask about 10 times the size of the document, but other than that it was ok.
So I have things working again on my primary system. Will try and figure out what's wrong with the other one - but a reinstall might be the easiest game there too. -
We have version 10.5.8 photoshop CS3 for Mac. How do we fix a problem with photoshop not resizing dpi? For example we resized a 72 dpi image to 200 dpi, when we do a pdf analysis it read as 344 dpi.
Sounds like it's a problem with the Acrobat settings. Did you set them to the same resolution?

Dreamweaver CS3 and Mac OS 10.4.11 Incompatability
I have been using Dreamweaver CS3 under OS 10.4.10 for a few
months without significant issues... but after upgrading to 10.4.11
there is a significant problem.
I am unable to access any of my remote servers to upload
files to the sites I have built.
I was able to reinstall Dreamweaver 8 and it works fine with
all the same setups
I've read a technote on a noted problem with Dreamweaver CS3
and Mac OS 10.5 - but it also appears to happen on 10.4.11
You can read the 10.5 technote here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402780I have not experienced this problem. Try removing the DW CS3
preferences file in your Library and then let DW build a new one.
BTW, what error you are getting when you try to FTP? -
Premiere Pro CS3 for Mac quits when exporting
I'm using Premiere CS3 for Mac and I imported several mpeg footage I took with my Sony Cybershot camera. The videos are in 640x480, but when I opened a new project I choose 720x480 DV format. Then the videos were stretched to the DV size.
When I try to export my timeline, the render dialog shows 'compiling...' and nothing happens with the progress bar and Premiere is suddenly closed.
I took one of the videos and rendered it as Quicktime movie 720x480 in AFX, and then I created another timeline with this new video and the export worked fine.
I think the problem is the MPEG format that my CyberShot uses. Am I right?Yes.

Reinstalled CS3 on Mac 10.6.8 after major crash. ID doc created in CS3 v5 won't open
Problem solved. It helps to use CS5 to open a CS5 document. When you use the right key, the door opens. Lesson: Don't store installation discs of inactive versions with installation discs of current versions.

HTTPS and MMHttp in Dreamweaver CS3 for Mac
MMHttp doesn't seem capable of HTTPS communication in
Dreamweaver CS3 for Mac.
When I do something like
MMHttp.getText("https://americanexpress.com");
the resulting response has no data and a status code of 0.
With
MMHttp.getText("
http://americanexpress.com");
(i.e. non-SSL) the response has data and a status code of
200.
This works fine on a Windows version of Dreamweaver CS3. Does
anyone have any suggestions?
I've only tried this on a trial version of DW CS3 for Mac.
I'm hoping to get a full version soon.I managed to get a full copy of Dreamweaver CS3 for the Mac.
HTTPS doesn't work with MMHttp there either.
Do you have any suggestions? -
PS CS3 and Mac 10.9.5
I"m using PS CS3 with Mac 10.9.5. This week had to do a wipe and reinstall of the Mac due to numerous problems. Now can't get CS3 disc to reinstall even though I successfully did this about 2 months ago. Have tried clean and re-install, but am not able to follow the instructions. I would appreciate any help please
Erik,
Here it is always recommended to open/save AI documents from/to own harddisk, and to only copy from/to externals such as local server/whatever.
The reason is that with the latter, AI files tend to get corrupted sooner or later, so you may be lucky for a while but it hurts when your luck runs out.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

Wanted : used copy of DW CS3 for Mac
This is a long shot, but if anyone has a copy of DW CS3 for Mac they would like to get rid of, please PM me, thanks.
It comes from a previous thread - CS3 is the last version prior to the shift to CSS and the deprecation of HTML presentation.

BasicPanel Sample plugin in CS3 on Mac
Hi,
I tried to compile the BasicPanel project in CS3 on Mac platform with Xcode 2.5 on Intel-Mac machine on OS X 10.5, and when I copy the plug-in to Plug-ins folder under Adobe InDesign CS3 and launch InDesing, I dont see any palette added in application. Does this plug-in suppose to add a palette in CS3? I dont get any error when I launch the InDesign, also I don't see the name of that in plug-ins list in application. Is something wrong here ? the other sample plugins work fine except this one.
Thanks,
NimaUnder the "InDesign" menu, there's a menu item called "Config Plug-Ins..."
try to see if your plugin is listed there...
there's always the fprintf(stderr, "hello world") that you can sprinkle in your code. :-) They will show up in Console.app.

ACR missing from Bridge CS3 on Mac
I am working on a MacBook Pro with Adobe CS3.
When I originially installed CS3 running OSX 10.4 the "Camera Raw Preferences" under the file menu was missing. I also could not "Develop Settings" or any other ACR functions from Bridge. I was able to open files in Photoshop and use ACR that way, but that seriously hindered my workflow.
In order to solve the issue I: 1) Updated CS3 (did not fix) 2) Rebuilt Permissions (did not fix) 3) Un-installed CS3, Re-installed CS3 (DID FIX! Camera Raw back in Bridge!)
I Recently upgraded to Mac OSX 10.5 (Leopard) and now I am right back where I started: no ACR in Bridge.
So, again I tried to fix by: 1) Un-installing & Re-installing CS3 (did not fix) 2) Re-installing Mac OSX 10.5 & CS3 (did not fix, but was a major hassle)
I am hoping their is a known fix to this, or if there is a scheduled update to either CS3 or Mac OSX 10.5 addressing such issues with Bridge. I would rather not revert to 10.4 having bought 10.5.Assuming you have installed the RAW plug in at the correct location??
from the FAQ;
Q: How do I know that Adobe Camera Raw is installed correctly?
A: For Photoshop CS2 and CS3 customers the most efficient way to ensure that you have the latest Camera Raw update installed correctly is to choose the �Updates�� option from the help menu. For Photoshop Elements customers the best way to verify that the Camera Raw plug-in is installed correctly is to make sure it appears (only once) in the "About Plug-in" menu (see: Photoshop menu on a Mac or Help menu on a PC). The correct version is displayed when you pick its name and see its about box. If "Camera Raw" is not in this list, you have not installed it correctly.
Q: I am trying to replace ACR 3.0 by 3.1 (or higher) I cannot find ACR in my Photoshop/Plug-in/File Formats folder, where is it located now?
A: As explained in the "Readme", which can be found on the ACR download page, the new correct location is:
Photoshop CS2
Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS2/File Formats/�
Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS2\File Formats\�
Photoshop CS3
Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS3/File Formats/�

Printing problems with InDesign CS3 with Mac OS 10.6.3
I am not new to InDesign... I have CS3... but I am brand new to Mac Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3). Although I can open CS3 and use the application, I cannot print with it. None of my other applications has printing issues... just CS3. Any suggestions?
RichardHi again Peter
It is version 5.0.4. I updated it when I newly installed it a week ago in my new computer, and then again updated it just yesterday.
I might mention that before I got my new computer, I was running Mac OS 4.11, and was using InDesign 3.0. I had bought InDesign CS3 about a year ago, but hadn't gotten around to using it since version 3.0 had been working fine, and I was used to it. Then, when I got my new computer, I decided it was time to use the newer version. However, while using InDesign 3.0 with the old Mac OS 4.11, a printing problem popped up there, too, a few months ago... and it also involved printing problems with Adobe Reader. I contacted Adobe, and they sent me a patch which fixed it. I will contact Adobe again if need be, although I thought I'd start here first to see if it was a common enough problem that someone might be able to provide a free and routine answer.

Subject: Printing problems with InDesign CS3 with Mac OS 10.6.3
I neglected to ask what version of indesign CS3 you are using. I also
notice that Mac OSX 10.6.4 has just been released. It actually
addresses some CS3-specific issues, though they seem to be related to
launching the apps, not printing. It may be worth trying to update,
nonetheless.
