Adobe Creative Suite 3 for mac

Hi, I have adobe creative suite 2 Design premium for mac and it's not working right now because i had to get my computer fixed and when I restored the application none of the adobe programs are running.  I still have the original disc but my cd drive is not working.  is there a way to download the suite online and then use my serial number to active it? 
If anyone has an idea how to do that please help.  I know it's out dated but i can't afford to buy the new suite and this one still gets the job done.
thank you in advance

  • Cross-Platform Adobe Creative Suite 4 For Mac From Windows

    Hello,
    I am having quite a unusual problem. The problem is that I have a copy of Adobe Creative Suite from my company that is meant for Windows, and it will not install on a mac. Does anyone know of a way to install a windows native Adobe Suite on a Mac platform? I have tried using a emulator called wine, but every time I get into the setup when the system is checking compatibility the entire thing is halted. I do not have access to any windows machine, and installing a Virtual Machine is out of the question. I also considered swapping the windows version of the software with the Adobe company, but then I would have to destroy the disk of my company. Any help on installing Adobe creative suite 4 meant for a Windows platform on a mac? Emulation etc?
    Thanks

    installing a Virtual Machine is out of the question
    Why?
    Try CrossOver Mac from codeweavers.com
    Otherwise, your only option is to use install Windows via Boot Camp.

  • "Access denied" errors in my Adobe Creative Suite CS6 for windows.

    I have just recently had some errors occuring in my Creative Suite CS6 for windows with certain operations.
    I have had my suite since last year and it has only recently started having error problems.
    My Suite has full administrative permissions and I have reinstalled it twice.
    I have tried to fix my Photoshop and Illustrator errors by preference resets but no change.
    I have looked at similar errors in the support forums and have come to no fixes.
    This is what I have come across
    Photoshop CS6 "save for web" feature says "error, oparation could not be performed. Access denied".
    Adobe Bridge CS6 error occurs when I try to close it, if I keep clicking on it eventually works.
    My Illustrator CS6 error occurs when I try to close the program, the actual button to close the program does not function, I have to go to file and exit then it has to close itself by windows force closing.
    They a very odd and I can't understand why now. If it is not my Suite it might my computer.
    I am little afraid to test my other programs however I dont use those programs as frequently since these are my web tools of preference.
    Help would be much appreciated and I hope it is fixable.

    STEP 1:
    FOUND MY PROBLEM (or half of it.)
    I went into my computer and then program files.
    I found that EVERY SINGLE TIME I click any of the Adobe Applications that say (64 Bit) they give me that error message I showed you in an above post.
    STEP 2:
    I clicked Adobe in program files.
    STEP 3:
    I can SUCCESSFULLY open any of my Adobe Apps that are not (64 bit)
    It turns out all of my desktop shortcuts of my adobe apps were all coincidentally 64 bit ones that don't work.
    SO- in conclusion I think I have partly solved my problem.
    I replaced all of my app shortcuts with the normal program files and NOT the 64 bit ones. BUT- I am worried....aren't the 64 bit versions of ANY apps you buy important?
    I do feel worried since my WINDOWS 7 PROFESSIONAL is a 64 bit OS. This would effect my programs correct?
    Feel free to use my story to help you solve other customers' stories. I would like my problem looked into, but I am only half as stressed now.

  • In Creative Suite 6 for MAC--why do I always have to insert my serial number?

    Everytime I try Photoshop I have to enter my serial number--not so with the other apps--how can I avoid this?  The window says "Your Trial Has Expired" and asks me to join Creative Cloud which I don't want to do!  So I click on "License this software" and enter the serial number and go to Photoshop--but every time??????????  PLEASE NOTE THIS IS FOR MAC SOFTWARE--NOT WINDOWS.  I cannot navigate to c:\Program Files X(86)\Common Files\Adobe\AdobePCD as suggested in an earlier reply.

    Could you update your Photoshop to the latest version and then check.

  • Adobe Creative Suite upgrade for 3.3

    I cannot figure out how to upgrade the Creative Suite. I have CS3 & an upgrade 3.3 for the whole package, but all I have on the DVD is ADOBE ACROBAT 9 PRO
    It shows 4 folders
    ADOBE ACROBAT 9 PRO
    APPLICATIONS
    READ ME
    EXTRAS
    Where is the download for the Creative Suite. I did download ADOBE ACROBAT 9 PRO

    Cara,
    As Bob says. Do not delete/uninstall your original CS3 installation -- although you don't need Acrobat 8 installed anymore after you install 9.
    For software as for any other significant purchase, always carefully research, read and understand before you buy.

  • If I purchased Creative Suite 5 for mac osx is it possible to change to windows version?

    I purchased the Creative Suite Master Collection back in 2010 and have been running it on my macbook pro. However I've had to get a desktop to run more powerful media software.
    Is there any way that I can move my purchased software to use with Windows? I don't have thousands of dollars to re buy these products just to work on a different computer. I have the installation disks for mac, what can I do? Am I basically screwed?

    You need to upgrade to CS6 and make the platform switch or sign up for Creative Cloud.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 in Creative Suite 3 for Mac OS abruptly quits

    Adobe Acrobat 8 opens OK but then abruptly quits and closes completely. InDesign and Photoshop in CS3 work without any problem so far. I downloaded CS3 from the Adobe Website. I even re-downloaded it and reinstalled Acrobat 8 but had the same results, abruptly quitting and closing completely. The same problem happened to a colleague who also downloaded CS3. He uses an Intel-based Mac. I use a G5.

    I keep multiple versions (6, 7 and 8 ) on at least one Mac because I'm a trainer. Sometimes on the forums or in class, someone is still using Acrobat 6, for example, and asks a question about it. Since my memory sometimes fails, it's handy to be able to open the earlier version to answer their questions. In particular, the Acrobat team has a tendency to put their features in a Mixmaster with every version moving them around. So where was the Overprint Preview feature in Acrobat 6. I'd have to open it to find it.
    Like Buko, except for printing, I've found no conflicts between versions. You really can only have one version of the Adobe PDF printer installed because they share some resources.

  • Are all parts of Adobe Creative Suite 3 truly "Mac-Intel Optimized"?

    I know from using Photoshop CS3 Beta that it renders effects faster on the Intel Macs than CS2. Adobe has indicated that Acrobat 8 Pro (part of CS3) will render PDFs faster on Intel Macs than previous versions.
    I'm wondering if InDesign CS3 or Illustrator CS3 "crunch" things faster. Or are they "nominally" Intel Native with extra features over CS2 versions.

    There are a couple articles or blogs on the topic of 64-bit applications and Adobe's move to 64-bit.
    The benefits, but the cost in programming, too.
    One thing at a time. Get the code cleaned up for one thing. And most of their core base, even Vista, isn't fully up to 64-bit. It will come, but later. And wait for Leopard to begin development work and large installed base.

  • Adobe Creative Suite -80% for Students and Families

    Hello,
    I am very sorry for my English.
    I received an email of 01Net as follows:
    <<<
    Families and students
    You are a private individual or a student. ? Profit from exclusive offers going up to 80% on the Creative Continuations Adobe CS5, Adobe Flash, Dreamwiever and well of others still.
    >>>
    http://www.01net.com/statiquesv6/adobe/adobe-etudiants-famille.html
    Once on the site of 01Net the message remains but after being rocked on the site of Adobe for purchase, it is not any more question of Private individuals nor of Family but only of Students. And moreover it is question only of old version CS4 and not of the recent CS5
    https://store2.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?event=displayProduct&(...)
    I had the hope that Adobe follow the same principle as Microsoft for its leading product “Office 2007” Families and Students (Version prohibited for the commercial work) and they was astute because on the one hand Adobe recovered customers of informed amateurs which could not follow its prices for a personal use and on the other hand, that made it possible to the private individuals to reach best of the software.
    Is information right, please
    Thank you in advance
    Very cordially

    If you mean download (move from somewhere else to your machine) I do not know that there is a limit, though I have heard that it can happen when you repeatedly do it, as in the same day or so.  Normally there is no limit to the number of machine you can install on, so it is likely there is no limit to the number of downloads... but there is a limit of 2 for the number of installations that you can have activated at a given time.

  • Can I instal the adobe creative suite in my Mac mini 2009?

    I want to instal PhotoShop and Illustrator cc 2014 on my Mac mini 2009 version and the system requirement in PhotoShop is
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with 16-bit color and 512 MB of VRAM (1 GB recommended)**
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    I don't know where to check the specification even go to the System Information. Can anyone help? Thanks!

    The early 2009 Mini has
    Nvidia GeForce 9400M using 128 MB or 256 MB of DDR3 SDRAM
    The late 2009 MIni
    Nvidia GeForce 9400M using 256 MB of DDR3 SDRAM
    Thus, if it does even install it will be slow.
