Adobe CS2 issue depending on disk format?

I just thought I'd throw this out there:
I installed Leopard and chose to format the disk as 'MacOSX (Journaled)' and then installed Photoshop and Illustrator from CS2 no worries at all.
The other day I reinstalled Leopard and chose to format the disk as 'MacOSX (Case-sensitive, Journaled)' and then tried to install Photoshop and Illustrator again and now it's not working. It refuses to install!
Has anyone else experienced this? I don't see how the disk format would have an impact on this, but it's the only thing that changed in my case.
Feel free to test it.

I'm not sure if they fixed this in CS3, but it is certainly the case for CS2.

I have Adobe 5.0, original disk, 6.0 upgrade, original disk, and Adobe CS2. I'd like to install in my new computer with Win.8.1. Can you help?

Forget about all the versions you already have (5.0 through to CS2). They will no longer work and the serial numbers are redundant.
Download the non-activation version of CS2 form the link provided by kglad and use the new non-activation serial number provided at that link. Your existing serial number(s) will no longer work.
Note: there is no guarantee that CS2 will run well on Win 8.1. Try it and see.

I'm installing Adobe CS2 as a download. After the first 'disk' is installed, the Installer asks for 'CD 2' to be loaded. How do I get around this? No CD; only 'disk' files downloaded.

I need advise on installing Adobe CS2 as a download. The Installer is looking for CD 2 but I don't have a CD. It's a file downloaded and saved to Programs on my hard drive. Adobe CS2 is no longer supported by Adobe Support. Someone out there must have run across this problem before. Help, please.

all the extracted files should be placed in the same directory. by default they fail to extract in the same directory so you will need to manually move them.

Change from case-sensitive disk format to the normal Mac OS Extended.

Hi,
I need to change from a case-sensitive disk format to the normal Mac OS Extended Journaled version.
I have no external HD fitted, but I do have some DVD-Rs. I need to restore the data from 2 users, including iTunes and iPhoto files.
What's the best way to achieve this?
Many thanks,
Tris.

I just got off of the phone with Adobe support. They told me they knew the solution, but that they would not tell me tonight. I had to call back between 6:00 am and 5:00 PM tomorrow. That does not work with my schedule. So I googled some stuff and found that Adobe CS 3 is not supported with Case-Sensitive file systems. So OK, let me install this to my other MAC that has a non case sensitive drive. Same error. Even though I have a non case-sensitive drive, the OS is on a Case-Sensitive Drive and I am never prompted where to install like most all other Mac Software.
I have always formatted case-sensitive. So I am thinking to myself why not start using a non case-sensitive drive. Well, to start off I want it case sensitive. I enjoy web programming and like this feature. Sure it is not needed, but I am glad Apple offered me a choice. And I am sure there are many other reasons why to use it. Also I would be interested in knowing why non case-sensitive drives are supperior.
Why is this a requirement now? I have used Adobe software in the past without this specific issue. I also have Large TB drives and do not know how to 'safely' do this. You will not catch me jumping through this hoop. I will not risk the change to the file system. And I can not be expected to format my drive. I just wonder what Adobe would say tomorrow if I called.
The Direct line I was given by adobe is 800-642-3623 for support on this issue. You don't need anything else but to call this number and ask. You can not get through after hours though.
Wow, I just can't believe this and the lack of interest Adobe had with me.
I hope I can get a refund on the software. Until I am able to downgrade my file system format, I do not want to sit on Adobe's bill. I will buy it again assuming I learn I can't do without PS CS3.

OSX 10.4.6 / Adobe CS2 Install conflict?

I'm trying to install Adobe CS2 Premium. I've installed from this disk set on a number of G5's in our office successfully in the past. However, this was prior to OSX 10.4.6
I've attempted this install on 3 computers in my office. All PowerMac G5's running 10.4.6.
This CS2 installer runs fine without any errors. All of the programs startup fine with the exception of Illustrator. On closer inspection the Illustrator CS2 folder is missing a bunch of files. Only the first 3 files/folders are there.
- Activation_ReadMe.htm
- Adobe Illustrator CS2
- Cool Extras
These are all missing:
- Demonstrator
- Fonts
- Illustrator Read Me.pdf
- install.log
- Legal
- Plug-ins
- Presets
- Scripting
- Utilities
When I called support we went through the process of installing it in safe mode, throwing away all the font lists. In the end we were never able to get it to install properly.
Then he recommended that I try to make disk images of the install disks and try to install from there. Now when I get to Install Disk #3 I get an I/O error and the disk image cannot be completed.
The tech then recommended that I get a new disk set. I've done that and the same thing is happening w/ the new disk set. On two of the computers I was able to copy the missing folders from one of the machines that have been properly installed and this has worked fine.
I would like to know if this is a known issue w/ OSX 10.4.6?

Hi King of Pop!
I have installed the CS suite at least 20 times on 10.4.6 and it runs the applications fine. The only issue I had was with IDCS2 and the SING gaiji system and that was a permissions thing to a system resource - not the same thing you have.
I would take the Ilustrator CS2 app and trash it, reinstall it from the CD's. Be sure to empty the trash.

Since The Security Update, my Adobe CS2 software will not function properly. Is it common with everyone?

I am having issues trying to run my adobe cs2 programs cause it says there is a disk error and will crash when I go to save something. All this occurred after I made my firmware update for the security as of tonight, and earlier in the daytime, it was functioning propperly.

Simmilar problems.Indesign CS3 crashes if I try to place anything or save. Freehand 10 crashes if I try to place, export or save as, though I have managed to save some files. It seems just about anything that accesses the disc crashes these apps now, apart from simply opening the files. Some Freehand files wo'nt even open now, crashing as soon as the app starts up. These are all documents with placed content, again necessitating more disc activity I suppose.
This has all suddenly occured since tonight's security update.
How the **** does the worlds most successful software company manage to screw up so ineptly? A while ago I suddenly lost access to most of my fonts within all my Adobe and Microsoft programs, immediately following one of Apple's security updates. I have never managed to resolve this issue. I was left with only Truetype fonts available in these programs, though the missing fonts remained available in other software, including Apple's own apps such as textedit.
I have an old Mac running old system software. It is a life saver. I don't let the internet and Apple's risky 'updates' anywhere near it. If anybody knows a better solution than using an antique machine running out of date software I'd love to know.

Mac Pro and Adobe CS2

Since I have been using Adobe CS2 on my Mac Pro, I have been having alot of crashes especially Indesign. Anyone else had problems and know of a way to fix it? I have updated all my software.

Grant,
I've installed Windows XP Pro to run Photoshop CS2, Vue5 Infinite, and a number of other programs which have yet to be rewritten for Intel Macs as well as numerous Windows only apps. While it is true that Photoshop runs at a native speed on Windows, it runs just fine under Rosetta for me. I suspect it depends on the file sizes one works with and what your expectations are. Coming from an older G4, Photoshop with Rosetta is much faster than my old computer. Typically I work on 100 - 300mb images.
The original inquiry was about crashing issues and Version Cue is a real culprit and known issue as is running Photoshop and Illustrator concurrently. As I'll run just one at a time because of that issue and all my Adobe licenses are for specific apps rather than the suites so Version Cue was never an issue, I've not had a Adobe crash yet.

Unable to install Adobe CS2 Premium on Windows OS 7. How do I fix this ?

I am unable to install Adobe CS2 Premium on Windows OS 7. My discs require activation but do install to the OS. The non-activation version recommended gives the error message that" this version is not compatible wih OS" and will not install.
Thanks, Liz

Hi Issieoo,
Though you may install Cs2 on Windows but you may face performace issue. Please find the System Requirement for installing for one of the CS2 product: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-photoshop.html . However I would recommend you to purchase the new CC realease with more enhanced functionalities and features.

Photoshop CS2 Issues After Latest Secuirty Update

I am working on a Power Mac G5 with Mac OSX 10.4 and Adobe CS2. I do not know if it was the security update that caused these problems in Photoshop for me, but that was the only thing that had been installed around the time that the problems started happening.
The issue is that when I have the Move Tool and several layers in groups. When I have a layer inside one of the groups highlighted and I want to move it, suddenly PS selects the whole group and moves it as well. I have checked to see if there were any sort of links to the layers and there are not.
It is a weird issue and since this is a work machine it is very important to get PS working again. At the moment I have to work on a Windows machine to get things done.
Thanks for any help that you can give me.

Eric,
Mac OS X 10.4? Or 10.4.11? Or...?
Before running the security update, did you repair permissions? Run DiskWarrior? Try resetting the tool preferences, and/or Photoshop preferences?

Using Adobe CS2 on New Pro Book, Illustrator crashes consistently

I just got my MacBook Pro (3G RAM, 150G HD, External 120G HD, wireless mighty mouse, OSX 10.4.8) Installed Adobe CS2 Premium Edition.
Illustrator crashes every single time I use the Pathfinder tool (any filter).
Checked with Adobe, they say it is a problem between Illustrator and OSX 10.4.8 and I need to install 10.4.7, which they say will solve the problem.
How do I get a copy of 10.4.7 to fix this issue.
I will not go into how irritated I am that Adobe has not created an update to fix these incompatabilities or the fact that both Adobe and Apple know these problems exist yet do not mention it before you spend 3 grand on hardware or 1 grand on software. If an auto manufacturer did that they would be sued immediately. But since it is not my life, just my business that is in danger, who cares...
I know I said I wouldn't go there, but I am steamed!

Greetings,
We just received 12 MacPros that shipped with 10.4.8,
so taking them back to 10.4.7 is not a realistic fix for this 10.4.8 bug.
We did do all other suggestions we could find short of that, on Adobe support, and in these forums: update to Illustrator CS2 12.0.1, toss all the legal HTML files that had bad fonts, close the Appearance
palet then close Illustrator, toss the Illustrator plist file, repair permissions,
but only got marginal results. In files that have complex paths or raster files embedded, or are large dimensionally,
using the Pathfinder tools still crashes Illustrator.
Anyone have any new suggestions that could help us?? We use Illustrator quite a bit, particularly in signage, and this is almost a show stopper for even bothering to set these Macs up! Anyone gone back to CS on a MacPro?
I have sent a note to Apple Feedback requesting a fix.. 10.4.9??

Migration manager with Adobe CS2 and Microsoft Office 2004

I had already downloaded my academic copy of office 2008 as soon as I opened the computer. To my total aggravation, it too had the stupid ribbon format that office 2007 has on the pc version. Then to my total surprise when I used the migration manager, it moved all my old programs over from my macbook running 10.4.11. This included office 2004. It seems to operate just fine, but am worried about when I end up opening documents from an email or something that it will end up opening in 2008 instead. Also, when it moved my Adobe CS2 it said some type of error message about color matching. That seems to be the case in the color sliders at least, the colors don't look right, but the images seem fine when they open. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!

am worried about when I end up opening documents from an email or something that it will end up opening in 2008 instead.
Find a document you would normally open with Office 2004, and use the menu in the Finder to 'Get Info'.
In that window, you have an option to dictate which program to always open that file type with, and to apply that choice to all similar files.
Make the change and close that window.

Need a information about Adobe CS2.

Hi.
I'll be joining a design company next month. They told me that they have a license of Adobe CS2 for windows.
With those cd's can i install it on my mac?
Or, if that ain't possible, can they buy the upgrade (to CS4) but for mac?

If you are running windows on your mac, then yes, otherwise no. They can upgrade to CS4 Mac, but they have to contact Adobe and sign papers that attest to the destruction of the Windows CS2 disks.

Problems Installing Adobe CS2 software

Hi,
I purchased my iMac aswell as Adobe CS2 software back in September. I started installing the CS2 software (4 discs) and by the last disc, installation froze and the drive sounded like it was in a continuous search on the disc. So I had to reboot and eject the disc. This continued for 2 more tries. I contacted Adobe and they said it was a disc problem, so I exchanged my CS2 for another CS2 disc set. I completely erased the previous CS2 applications, reinstalled OSX and tried again. This time it was the 2nd of 4 discs that just got skipped over - nothing even installed from that disc - the computer just spat it out and said: "disc 2 complete, please insert disc 3..."
Anyone think I have drive or hardware issues???

Hi Bushfire.
I had a very similar problem when I installed CS 1 under OS X 10.3 on an iBook. In that case it turned out that the version of Stuffit Expander supplied with the OS was too old. (The stuffit engine is, I believe used to unpack some or all of the goodies from the installer). After upgrading Stuffit Expander to - I think to version 7 at the time - the install went perfectly.
OS X 10.4 doesn't have any version of stuffit expander included with it at all. Have a look on versiontracker.com to download if you haven't allready got it. Could be worth a try.
I have subsequently installed CS 2 on my iMac G5, and everything went OK -so it CAN work.
Good luck - and let me know if it works.

Adobe CS2 compatibility with Leopard 10.5.1

I need to boot from the disks on an old iMac -- but I can't locate those disks. I do have an unused Leopard 10.5.1 that I could use -- but I need to make sure that Adobe CS2 will still work on that computer. Does anyone know if it will work?

Ha-ha.... I had an IT guy tell me it would overwrite the system but wouldn't mess with the data or the programs -- but he couldn't tell me if they were compatible... I guess this why I'm not computer guru!

Can't add "Account" name in preferences and CS2 issues

I am having problems with adding an account name (under Accounts in System Preferences). It was recommended that I do this to help troubleshoot a problem with Adobe CS2.
I am running Tiger 10.4.6. My main problem is that I can't seem to get the entire Adobe Creative Suite 2 upgrade to load properly. Anyone out there with this problem?
John.

"Repairing Permissions with Disk Utility" is often thrown out there as a kind of catch-all solution to any OS X problem, and doing that rarely fixes problems.
But I have a hunch it just might fix this. Have you given it a try?
