Adobe Creative Suite CS2 freezing/crashing

I'm not sure if this is an isolated issue or something bigger, but I'm having problems with CS2 programs crashing and freezing up on me. I often run photoshop, illustrator, and inDesign at the same time, and 1 out of the 3 will always freeze up or crash on me either randomly or when it comes to saving a file in one of the 3 programs. I have the 2ghz macbook with the 100gb 7200rpm HD upgrade.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I heard CS simply doesn't work. Might want to check that statement though, its not from experience. From what I heard Quark 6, Virtual PC and CS all don't run, but like I say thats not from experience. I'd suggest using your old one until the Universal Binary is released...

  • Note: Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard & Adobe Creative Suite CS2

    Hello,
    here is an important note for Apple & Adobe business users who are using the Adobe Creative Suite CS2 package for their daily workflow.
    http://www.adobe.com/go/leopardfaq
    <--- quote from Adobe --->
    Question: Will older versions of Adobe creative software—such as Creative Suite 2 and Macromedia Studio 8 software—support Mac OS X Leopard?
    Answer (Adobe): While older Adobe applications may install and run on Mac OS X Leopard, they were designed, tested, and released to the public several years before this new operating system became available. You may, therefore, experience a variety of installation, stability, and reliability issues for which there is no resolution. Older versions of our creative software will not be updated to support Mac OS X Leopard. ...
    <--- Quote from Adobe --->
    In clear words. If an application of the Adobe Creative Suite CS2 package does not work properly under Mac OS X Leopard, you might notice several issues such as bugs, crashes and other incompatibility problems.
    So, in the end this means:
    " Dear Apple & Adobe user. Use Mac OS X 10.5 on your own risk. "

    Thanks Tony, this helped me get some functionality out of InDesign CS2. However, is there a way to get it to keep all the palette options?

  • After downloading & installing application of adobe creative suite cs2 version 6,  screen of adobe photoshop cs2 is not opened by clicking icon . message is giving " ausba4.dll " was not present. Please guide me.?

    I have downloaded & installed adobe creative suit cs2 version 6 but when I click the icon of adobe photoshop in desktop it is not opened & giving message " this application has failed to start because " ausba4.dll " was not found. reinstalling of the application may fix the problem " I have reinstall & opened many times but even then it is not opened. Please guide me accordingly.

    I'd try disabling the Twain_32.8BA plugin in
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Plug-Ins\Import-Export
    You can disable the plugin by putting an ~ (tilde) in front of the name or moving the plugin to your desktop.
    Then try photoshop cs2 and see if you still get the error message.
    I suspect the error has to do with your scanner driver, since photoshop cs2 does not have an ausba4.dll

  • Hi I've just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion now Quarkxpress 6.5, Adobe creative suite CS2, Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional and Microsoft Office 2004 will nolonger open. Can anyone please advise me what I can do to get these programs running.

    Hi I've just upgraded my MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Now my installed programs:- Quarkxpress 6.5 - Adobe creative suite CS2 - Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional and Microsoft Office 2004 will not open - I get a banner saying not supported by power mac. Can anyone please help me I really need these programs for my work. Thank you!

    hi tuggerose
    i think it is bad new for you. if it's any consilation i went through the same thing when i loaded mountain lion when it first came out. i think the problem is that mountain lion is a pure 64bit operating system and the software you have is 32bit. earlier os's were able to emulate 32bit but the new system does not. the answer is new software. i did it and it cost me a load of money and much angst so your not alone.

  • Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Constantly Crashing

    I've had Adobe Creative Suite 3 for awhile now (I mainly use Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Illustrator).  And nearly every day, one of my programs crashes while I'm using it.  I've attached a recent crash log below from Dreamweaver.  The crash occurs mainly in Dreamweaver and Illustrator, but it's happened in Photoshop, too.
    I've got 8GB of RAM.  I've attached a screenshot of my Activity Monitor while running Illustrator.
    Originally I installed CS3 on my MacBook Pro when I still had Snow Leopard.  Since then, I've upgraded to Mountain Lion and now I'm on Mavericks (I skipped Lion).  After getting frustrated at the constant problems, I completely deleted and re-installed CS3.  The problem still occurred. So finally, I completely reformatted my hard drive and did a clean install of Mavericks, then re-installed CS3.  STILL THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.  It makes me think that there might be a compatibility problem between Mavericks and CS3, but I would still like to resolve the problem if possible.
    Here is my most recent crash log from Dreamweaver if that helps.  Please HELP!!

  • Adobe Creative Suite CS2 Universal?

    Hello! I've installed my an old version of Photoshop recently on my MacBook Pro and I noticed a lot of lag and slow downs when I'm drawing with my Wacom tablet on the canvas. I was just wondering if Adobe released a universal version of Photoshop and Creative Suite as I need to design my art portfolio for my clients to see. Thanks!

    There's a Universal Binary (Beta) of CS3 available here

  • Adobe Creative Suites CS2 file compatibility between PC and MAC

    We produce a 140 page catalog that was created by a third party for us on a MAC with Adobe CS2 using PhotoShope and InDesign.
    I would like to make updates and changes to our catalog file using a PC with Adobe CS2 and send the file back to them for the more complicate work.
    How could I do this? The people that created the catalog don't think it is possible and think it would not work. I know this is probably better suited for Adobe to answer but I wanted to obtain as much information from as many sources as possible.
    Thanks,
    SWFA

    This is entirely possible; however, there are a few things you should be careful/aware of. Fonts are always a crossplatform (and even a cross-computer) issue. Even if you have the same opentype or true type fonts loaded on the PC as the Mac users had, there can be reflow problems which can drive an editor batty.
    If you are just making copy/text revisions and correction, you might consider by InCopy, InDesign's sister copy editing software. That program allows you to open the designers' InDesign file and make adjustments to the text without altering their graphics and layout. From experience, this is very important!
    Until you get that, you can make due opening the Indesign file and making changes. If you get any font subsitution prompts leave the original fonts alone. Things might look wonky, but the designer won't have to lay into the typography after every edit.
    Indesign and Incopy rock. and the world needs to see more cross-platform integration.
    Have fun.

  • Every Adobe Creative Suite 2 app crashes

    I have used cs2 on my mac since it came out and never had a problem with it, when i upgraded to 10.4.7 it's been crashing to the point where it wont even open. Im running ver 9.0.1 photoshop and that didnt help, i also tried the TWAIN thing and still no luck. This has never happened before 10.4.7. I've tried almost everything but reformatting.

    I seem to be having this problem as well. Most notably with Photoshop CS2. It keeps telling me that files (jpg) are damaged files and they won't open correctly. Or sometimes it doesn't tell me anything, but the file loads and there is some kind of discontinuity or shift in the contents.
    If things do open correctly. I will be working and working and suddenly the whole application will just disappear – sometimes with a second or two of spinning beach ball.
    Then I had a problem with IDCS2. Mostly it seem related to (possibly corrupted) graphic files. I could work with text and such for very long periods, but then shortly after placing graphics the file would sometimes get corrupted. Various error messages would sometimes appear. And sometimes I could recover the document and sometimes not.
    I haven't figured out anything and we are right in the middle of needing to get a lot done. So wish me luck. If you find out anything please let me know.
    PS: This is on my machine at work where I'm running 10.3.9. My machine at home 10.4.7 seems to be working fine. So I just don't know.

    I previously purchased adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium my windows computer crashed, i recently purchased a MAC Is there some type of platform swap available?

    No, CS2 does not qualify for a platform swap.  Only the most recent version (CS6) qualifies.

  • 17" mbp freezed while installing Adobe Creative Suite

    I just installed my new Adobe Creative Suite 2 on my new 17" mbp that I just got this Monday. After I inserted the 2nd disk the computer ran a while and then freezed. What's wrong with this new computer? Shoule I restart? Please help....Thanks!!!!!

    Well...I deleted the VersionCue and my mbp was woking okay then. I tried to install the Adobe CS2 again withoug VersionCue..and it worked fine until the last disk. It seemed everything got installed, but then the 4th disk didn't jump out after the installation; instead it stays in the cd-rom and my mbp got freezed again...
    Now what should I do.....?? How can I know everything already got installed? Will my mbp be fine after all the hassle??
    Many thanks for all the help!!

  • Adobe creative suit cs6 crashing pc

    i have a windows 7 64 bit pc, with 835 gig of free space, 4gb ram.
    before i bought creative suit, i got the photoshop trial, which crashed my pc, while i was using it.
    after buying creative suit, it has crashed again while using photoshop and after effects.
    im running photoshop on my nvidea card, the open gl option is grey and not available. I've spent an hour trying to
    repair my PC. I think it's maybe a ram issue, Photoshop is using about 2gb ram exactly, after fixing that,
    i turned on after effects, then the pc completely freezes. after shuttign down the pc by pressing off button, i have to spent an hour on the pc "startup repair" option till i get it to turn on. What do i do?

    And what processor exactly? What graphics card? I get the impression you have a conflict with your onboard (intel?) graphics vs. you NVidia card or you may generally be missing a motherboard driver as they may be required for coreXI processors' power management or things like your USB and SATA controllers. The issues sound too severe to be attributed to Adobe software only. check your device manager. I'm quite certain that several of your devices only run with Windows' default drivers in compatibility mode and some devices may even be flagged as missing drivers...
