Adobe Creative Suite Question [Photoshop File Compatibility]
I have recently received a ten year old macbook with the OS snow leopard, according to the apple store associate using CS3 or CS4 would run better on this particular macbook. would I be able to open a file created in CS3 or CS4 on a computer that runs CS6? Would I be able to open a file made in CS6 in the CS3 or CS4?
That all depends on what you mean by "a file"
Industry standard DATA files such as JPG pictures are independent of program version
Proprietary PROJECT files such as a Premiere Pro video project file are very much dependent on program version
Also, program specific data files such as an InDesign file are dependent on program version, since newer programs often have features not supported in older versions
So... just what do you mean by a file?

I have the CS2 Creative Suite and wondered if I could still use this software on the new Duo Macs. I really don't want to buy the CS3 right now and being that I'm in school, and they're working on CS2, it would not be advantageous for me to start using the next level because my professors will not be able to access the new CS3 files without problems. And the last thing any student needs is problems on top of the usual dreg.
Does anyone know if these creative suites (Photoshop, Illustrator, In Design, Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, Adobe Acrobat) will open and perform on these newer machines -- even if the software is the CS2 rather than CS3?
Your input would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to decide on a new iMac or a refurbished Powerbook.Honestly just can't afford CS3 right now. Being a college student and needing to work with the pro versions as I am working my way through school.
But thanks. Yes, I will definitely get 2 gig ram...
Do the programs act differently on Mac Duo because when I got a G4 back in the day and my photoshop etc. had to work in the 9 operating system rather than 10, it was a real pain and the computer would crash.
Will I have that same problem with this situation? -
Adobe Creative Suite, namely, Photoshop CS refuses to activate
I have an old issue of Adobe photoshop CS. I've been trying for the last 30 days since installing it on my new computer to activate it. Neither Phone nor internet activation "is available at this time." The trouble shoot doesn't adequately explain why this is happening. CS1 is perfectly fine for all my needs and I don't want to have to purchase another copy if not necessary. Please advise or even better activate it.
See the following (it applies to CS1 as well):
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3 -

Adobe creative suite cs5: unable to open files in photoshop. unable to drag objects on illustrator..
Adobe creative suite cs5: unable to drag objects on illustrator or indesign. unable to open files in photoshop, brush doesnt work in photoshop.
In the past I uninstalled adobe creative suite cs5 from my laptop, used the adobe creative cloud cleanup tool, restarted and then reinstalled the programs and everything worked again for about a week. Now everything has gone back to the way it was again and this time the uninstalling and reinstalling isnt helping.
Any ideas?
Im pretty desperate!!
Thanks
AlisaHi Alisa
I'm having exactly the same problem. Uninstalled CS4 and reinstalled the 30 day trial of the Creative Cloud and it's stil having the same glitches, not opening in photoshop and not being able to drag/move objects in Illustrator or inDesign.
Did you find a solution to this problem?
Thanks

Accidentally uninstalled Photoshop Cs6 from 'Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection'
Okay, so I was just using Photoshop and then my friend wanted me to try and airdrop it to her since she didn't have photoshop. I tried to airdrop it to her and it failed. Later on, my photopshop icon had an question mark on it and i realized that it won't open. I started to play around and accidentally uninstalled it by going to Applications->Utilities->Adobe Installers and clicked on Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection. After uninstalling it, I thought I could reinstall it again but I can't find any files or whatsoever to install it again.
Please download and install it from here:

I'm troubleshooting for a customer who have Adobe Creative Suite Design CS6.
His programs suddenly wont start, they launches and starts to read plug-ins and open up a workspace, but then without warning/error it shuts down. no log, error message or anything...
It's the same for PhotoShop, InDesign and Illustrator both in 32 bit and 64.
He is running the suit on a Hp EliteBook 8560p with Windows 7 Pro x64 sp1.
He also have had a Wacom Bamboo CTE 650 penpad installed before.
This is what I've done so far:
* Uninstall the whole suit and reinstalled it again (Done this 3-4 times, manually deleted regestry-files, used CClean and other cleaning tools)
* Deleted the wacom-drivers with controlpanel tool, Windows driver Clean tool, CClean and manually deleted registry-keys and files.
* Uninstall Anti-Virus software and replaced it with another, inactivated AV and Windows Firewall.
* Deleted register-files for the suits and "reregister" them again.
* Full patch both for windows and adobe softwares.
* Reboot between each step
Any suggestions?
I have to add that adobe support for this $2000 software really sucks...
Thanks!

I went through all the folders associated with adobe cs6 and renamed them (one by one) so they would be recreated.
I did this before but seems like I missed this specific one.
Anyway, when I renamed the folder "SLCache" in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\ and then ran the applications one by one as administrator I was prompted to enter a serial-key again and log in to my Adobe-ID. -
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 -

I have A question about Adobe creative Suite 3 Design Premium, and what it comes with..
My boyfriend works for a office furniture company building and tearing down office furniture. Today one of the people who worked at the company he was tearing down told him he could take any of the programs there as they had no use for them. So he took the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium as well as mac OSX Leopard, thinking I would like to use them. But I have a PC.
My question is what comes with the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium? Since I can not use it, I thought I could sell it, but do not want to do so if I do not have everything it comes with or needs. What I have is three disc's, in the case. There is the application, the content, and the video workshop. There is no booklet or anything with it. If anyone could answer my question, I would really appreciate it. I dont want to sell it to someone and get in any trouble for it not having what its supposed to.
Thank you for your time and help.Firstly, the CS3 Design Prem comes with Photoshop Extended CS3, Illustrator CS3, InDesign CS3, Dreamweaver CS3, Acrobat Pro 8 as well as Bridge and and Vesion Cue.
Secondly, has the packaging been opened? If so, it could still be installed on a PC or rather Macintosh somewhere. If so, this makes it a trickier proposition with regards to installing it yourself or selling it on.
Don't quote me on this, but if the software is fresh and unopened or has been deactivated, you could upgrade to Design Prem CS4 Mac and then crossgrade to Design Prem Windows. Don't know if it's possible to crossgrade and upgrade in one fell swoop from Mac to Win. I suspect not - but will be happy to be proven wrong.
Hope this helps.

As per adobe agent chat representative, the following question is posted on the fórum to obtain an answe from adobe.
What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity.
Thanks
<moved from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>Illustrator is not working as it should...
I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application.
Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
Thanks...
PS Do you know how to contact a staff adobe employer on the forums? -
Adobe Creative Suite 4 install question.
Hello,
I have installed only certain apps of my Adobe Creative Suite 4. The question is that if i look in the finder to the application folder there are all the folders of the application that i mark to install with color icons, but there are also folders of the applications that i DO NOT mark to install without color icons. I belive that those folders do not contain all the application because have a small size, but theiy are not empty. For what are those folders there? It is safe to remove them?
I will appreciate a lot any help or information that you could give me. Thanks for your time,
Marcelo :)Hello,
It seems that this is a common issue with the installation of Adobe Creative Suite 4, i have read now the reade me file (i should read it first when i installed the apps) and there it said in common issues: "Protected Content for Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Encore, Soundbooth and OnLocation will be installed, even if those applications have been not been selected for installation. It will appear as though the applications have been installed: application folders will appear in the Start menu on Windows or in the Applications folder on Mac. However, upon attempting to launch one of these applications, an error message will appear saying "You can't open the application because it is not support on this architecture." (#BG063851) "
It does not said it we have to delete those folders or not, but since this is in the common issues section i belive this is a problem and that i should remove it. What do you think?
Thanks,
Marcelo :) -
I have an old version Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium. I uninstalled it from my old computer and was trying to install it on my new computer. It copied all the files but I cant open them and it doesn't ask me for my registration info, which I have. What shall I do to get Adobe up and running?
when you were install your cs3 you should have been prompted for you serial number. were you?
if not, you probably didn't properly install cs3. copying/migrating/moving etc is problematic.
if yes, did you see any error messages during installation?
if yes, attach a screenshot of the error message.
if not, check you install logs, Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC -
My iMac crashed and once I recovered it I re-installed all my software including my Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard (DVD) but Photoshop simply won't install after 3 or 4 attempts. After the lengthy installation process I get a huge error message on Photoshop which I am pasting below. How can I finally install Photoshop? All my other programs are working. Help is much appreciated. Many thanks.

I purchased Adobe Creative Suite C2 and have been using it for years on the same computer without any problems with using it. Recently upon opening Photoshop I received a pop up window saying due to Adobe Software security we need you to activate your CS2 software. I tried, phone activation, web activation, nothing is working. I have the serial number and my Adobe account information. Any suggestions?
