Adobe CS2 installation failed on macbook air

I am trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS2 on Macbook air, but when the installation goes the half way, system generates a message, "installation failed, please contact the manufacturer". Could you please help me to resolve the issue. thank you

Assuming it is not an OS compatibility issue (which it may well be), you would not be able to activate it anyway. The activation servers for CS2 and earlier are dead and gone.
See the page in the link below. Follow the directions carefully. And see if that works for you.

CS2 Installation failed on MacBook Air

I'm new to using this MacBook Air so, can anyone help a girl out?
A friend suggested I download from TechSpot the free CS2, in doing so, this error has occured: The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.

CS2 is not free. It is made available by Adobe to existing owners of CS2.
CS2 will not run on modern Macs such as yours running the OS X Mavericks operating system. CS2 requires OS X 10.2.8 to 10.3.8 (very old)
Have a look at Photoshop CC (Cloud) or Photoshop Elements 12.

I had purchased Adobe Premiere Elements along with Adobe Photoshop Elements for my MacBook Air

I had purchased Adobe Premiere Elements along with Adobe Photoshop Elements for my MacBook Air OSX Mavericks. Due lack of space I had to reiinstall OSX and could not retirieve from Seagate Back-up drive software in workable condition. Options please?

All you should have to do is to go to the Adobe web site http://www.adobe.com.
Sign in with your Adobe ID and Password.
Then go the web page's Search field and type in "My Orders".
Follow the "My Orders" link to your orders, find the order corresponding to the version in question.
There should be an opportunity there to download a new set of installation files.
Do you have your purchased serial number? If not, I am not sure if it will be included in the "My Orders"
area. But, it should be in the "My Products" which you can access from the Search field. Click on the
name of your product in "My Products", and the serial number should be revealed.
Please let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

Adobe CS2 Installation, activation and using

Adobe Sucks! Now that I have got that out of my system! Yes it is my Fault! Here is the problem.
Adobe makes great products that are over priced. (Creative Suites-$2500.00 Retail even upgrades)
CS2, Yes it is an older version. Still is a fine product. Original computer that had CS2 installed, finally bit the dust and went to Electronic waste recycle. New computer (Windows XP Sp3-Got Windows XP just to run Adobe CS2)
Installation of SW completed wiht no errors. Installation activation complete with no errors. Run In Design - "Personalize Your Software" window appears and asks for input of serial number. Input serial number (as on Box, CD, etc.) error message states "Serial number entered is not Valid. Please check and re-enter" It is correct and valid serial number. program closes. When runing Photoshop first screen appears with error box stating "Photo Shop can not find valid Serial Number" Same serial number entered during installation and activation of software package. Called Adobe on phone - on hold for 1.5 hours listening to elevator music. Contacted on line chat for help. They said that the problem could be resolved only on the phone. Called on phone again. This time was able to talk to Adobe Technical Rep. All I heard was "CS2 is to old and not supported by Adobe". Buy a new package ($2,500.00) again. No discount for upgrade. No on line Adobe support, No phone Adobe support, Sorry for the inconvience Adobe Support. Can anyone help make Adobe CS2 work? or Do I throw it away and write off Adobe as a Software company and find someone else?

Jungle Rot please see Error: "...user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid..." when you start Photoshop (CS2 on Windows) - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/error-user-name-organization-or.html. There are several steps which should help you solve for this issue.

Will adobe creative suite run on macbook air?

will adobe creative suite run on macbook air?

Do NOT get any MacBook 2012 models if you use Adobe CS4, 5, 5.5 or 6. All models are crashing on any dialog box popup's, i.e. they are nearly unusable for work, unless you like saving every 30 seconds. They do restart Indesign very fast after it crashes... Apple has made no comment on what seems to be an obvious video card driver issue in OS X 10.7.4 on the new 2012 models. There are a number of other video related issues as well, but the show stopper for us is the Indesign incompatibility. Google "fixed" the Chrome problems by removing the 3D accelerator calls thereby slowing down Chrome on these models.

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:

Remote install OSX fails on MacBook Air (late 2008)

I'm trying to reinstall OSX on my old MacBook Air so I can sell it and upgrade to the new one. I have done this procedure before, but now it doesn't complete. When I reboot the Air holding down the option key, it reboots and gives me a choice of using the internal disk or the remote disk, and I choose the remote. It does not give me any further options (like the optional installs, disk utility, etc) and appears to run, but it winds up just rebooting as my old user as if I were just rebooting the machine instead of doing a reinstall.
I've done it several times (like 20!!) trying slightly different things each time. The only difference is that sometimes it doesn't recognize the remote disk and I have to start again. I've also tried partitioning the Air hard drive, but it won't partition, and I've tried making a disc image of the OSX CD on an external drive and booting from there, but it is not recognized as a viable startup disc (the DMG is fine tho).
I've also tried resetting factory settings cmdoption+shiftpower, and resetting the PRAM, cmdoption+PR. That didn't help either.
I spoke to an Apple rep on the phone who didn't know what else to do, but suggested that there may be something to do with the fact that the Air is running Snow Leopard (which I don't have the discs for right now) and the original bootup discs are OS 10.5 (Leopard).
Anyone have any suggestions? I really don't want to sell the thing unless I have erased all my old user info--this should be pretty simple and straightforward, taking less than an hour to complete, but so far I have spent over 12 hrs on it!

I finally got this to work, so I thought I'd share the specifics for posterity... the fix was dependent on one or both of the following two steps:
1. Grasping at straws, I switched from the 10.6 install disc back to the 10.5 "MacBook Air" install disc, but obtained exactly the same result as previously.
2. Finally, I reset the PRAM / NVRAM by turning the machine off and booting with the command-option-p-r keys held down.
As soon as the MBA began the reboot cycle that follows the PRAM reset, I held down the option key again, to take another stab at the Remote Install process that failed so many times before. Only this time it worked. I'm not sure if it was step #2 only, or #1 and #2 in conjunction that did it, but I'm not going to sink another several hours into the experimental determination.
Just to be clear about what was happening before the fix: Like Passion.LY, I would boot the MBA while holding the option key (and with the Remote Install app running on the other machine, DVD sharing enabled, etc.), and that would at least get me to the network selection screen. After successfully joining the network, the remote install disc would appear, and I would select it. Some very tentative "seek" noises would be emitted from the optical drive across the room, while the MBA displayed the Apple logo screen for about a minute (with a spinning globe icon instead of the usual twirl icon). Then, very quickly and almost imperceptibly, a large "slashed circle" symbol (of the sort that would indicate "no" or "prohibited" on signage) would flash on the screen, followed by the standard Apple logo / twirl icon -- as the system proceeded to boot from the hard drive as though nothing else had been done.
Success was obvious when instead of the the "no" symbol I was treated to a much louder sequence of optical drive access sounds, for the duration of a rather lengthy boot process.
All this for a few minutes in disk utility... Apple should really consider making a small recovery partition part of the standard OS install -- or at least put one in for MBA users -- whose shared optical drives that feel especially "remote" (and ephemeral) at times like this, and who can no longer fall back on Firewire target disk mode... Nostalgic stuff, that.

Installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 on MacBook Air

I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 on my new MacBook Air, but have no cd drive. Is there a way to download this without a cd drive?

Trials of almost all software are available for download from the manufacturer's website. That's one of the reasons that the MacBook Air has no DVD drive.
Invariably the website trials are more up to date than the physical disk so you often don't have to install updates after the initial install.
Visit the website and follow the links. Or just use Google to find it.

Adobe CC installation fails (updates don't work either)

Hi everyone,
When I try to install Adobe CC apps, it says the installation failed (with every app). However, the apps seem to work properly, except for Audition (crashes when started). I tried updating the apps, but updating fails too. I'm running it on Windows 8.1.
Any suggestions?

uninstall everything cc, clean (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then reinstall the cc app, Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Free Adobe CC trial
install your cc programs using the desktop app.

Adobe CS6 'Installer failed to initialize' on Windows 7. Help!

I downloaded the Adobe Extended CS6 from Adobe.com on to my Windows 7 (HP) Dell laptop on 64bit.
After unpacking the downloaded file, I tried to run the installer but got the message - 'Installer failed to initialize'. It tells me to dowload the Adobe Support Advisor but the program is no longer available. See- Adobe - Adobe Support Advisor
This new link just gives generic links. (Thanks for that Adobe!)
In trying to fix this, I have uninstalled all Adobe Cloud/Flash software and ran the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner and CCleaner tools. And yet the problem persists.
I've lost half a day trying to fix this, so if there's anyone out there who can help I'd be very grateful!

Is your user profile on the C: drive? How about the Temp directory?

Adobe CS6 "installer failed to initialize"

Have been installing CS6 manually across our site for about a week, suddenly the install has stopped working and I receive the following error;
"We've encountered the following issues
Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."
When I click on the link to "Get Adobe Support Advisor", it says its discontinued! - Irritating

Cabsupportinfo are you installing using a fresh copy of the installation files?
For the specific error I would recommend reviewing your PDApp.log file.
