Adobe CS5 Design Premium programs crash on opening

I dowloaded the suite and set it up for a 30-day trial. I got the programs to open initially, but soon after, they started to crash. By the end of day one, every program crashed as soon as I tried to open it.
I am running on a MacBookPro, 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo (a little old, but an Intel processor) with 2GB 667 MHz SDRAM and about 300 GB free hard drive space.
I do have a few CS2 programs still installed on the hard drive. I did not want to remove them until I got CS5 up and running as Snow Leopard won't allow me to re-initialize them, so once gone, they are gone forever. Do I need to uninstall all previous versions before installing CS5?
I thought I might have an issue with too many fonts open, so I downloaded Suitcase Fusion 3 and neatened things up a bit. That does not seem to have fixed anything.
I can't talk to Adobe as they don't provide support for the trial -- but I don't want to plunk down $1900 until I know the programs will run... oy.
Can anyone help?

You can have a read through this if you'd like: http://www.theindesignguy.com/purchase-advice.shtml
The student versions carry the same upgrade rights as full commercial versions so when you leave school you'd be able to move to a new version at upgrade pricing.
I've put together a small Amazon based store on my website where I've tried to make some sense of what can be upgraded to what and at what price: http://www.theindesignguy.com/book-and-software-store.shtml

  • Reinstall Adobe CS5 Design Premium

    I had Adobe CS5 Design Premium on my iMac running now system 10.8.4. Going on travel, I uninstaled InDesign and Photoshop on my iMac to be able to instal it on my MacBook Air running 10.7.5 which is the highest it can handle. Back home, I unistalled InDesign and Photoshop on my MacBook Air to be able to reinstall it on my iMac, but guess what? My iMac does not recognize my installation CD because "You can't open the application "Install.app" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
    I am very sorry but I can't afford to switch to an upgrade. I would like very much to be able to continue to use what I bought: it was still working on my iMac under system 10.8.4 so it is only the installation program which causes trouble. Can Adobe help me out of this?
    Best regards,
    Jerome

    Sorry to say, this doesn't work. I found this page already before asking help. But I tried it again as you mentioned it in your reaction. Any link I try leads finaly to upgrade to CS6 or Creative Cloud and says CS5 is no more for sale. I just want to reinstall CS5, but the install program on my install CD seems to be PowerPC and refuses to work on my iMac with OS 10.8.4. But it works on my MacBook Air with OS 10.7.5. What I also tried:
    1.     Installing from my MacBook Air on my iMac via my network: is not accepted.
    2.     From my MacBook Air I made a start-up extern disk with OS 10.7.5, then started up my iMac with this disk. The internal DVD reader does not recognize the install-CD. The external optical drive, who accepts the install CD with my MacBook Air system 10.7.5 rejects the install CD with the same extern optical drive connected to my iMac that also is started up with 10.7.5.
    3.     Went to my Adobe order hystory. Found back the order of my CS5 but found no button to download it again. Is this because it was shipped in a box to me?
    4.     Reinstalled Photoshop on my iMac with Time Machine: works to my surprise and satisfaction, but I think this is by accident. Reinstalled InDesign with Time Machine: after starting up, InDesign tells me: "Configuration error. Please unistall and reinstall the product. If this problem occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen. Error: 5"
    5.     Thinking something in the system is missing, with Time Machine I also brought back in Library > Application Support > Adobe back to the same date as the InDesign reinstallation: same result: error 5.
    When I want to unistall as asked, the uninstall program does not sees any InDesign. It sees only Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash and Illustrator. So also Photoshop is not found, although it is back on my iMac and works perfect, which let me think the reinstallation of Photoshop with Time Machine was by accident. I tried other dates with Time Machine for InDesign but all in vain.
    I realy wonder why software developers make life so diffucult for honest users. Why do they hide from direct contact? I want to be able to call someone who helps me out of this. ADOBE !?!

    I just purchase a brand new mac computer and I need to purchase new adobe CS software for work. Do you know if Adobe CS5 Design Premium-Mac is compatible with new mac computers with the updated Yosemite software? *No previous adobe CS software versions are on this computer

    There are known technical issues with any older version on Yosemite, even CS6. Some can be worked out, others may not be relevant to you, some will remain unsolved.

    . . . was wondering: Would you happen to know if, < Adobe CS5 Design Premium > in compatible or incompatible with MS WIN8.1? I bought a new Dell XPS 9530 -- with NO CD drive. I copied my CS5 install disk to a Flash Drive, then ran the "install" on my new computer. I had the ownership S/N, so-o-o-o, CS5 installed and "seems" to respond well. PROBLEM: PhotoShop. The Menu Bar, the Commands, the Tool Bar, the Color Palettes, and etc., etc., are all real small on my display -- I would estimate they are about 1/3 of the normal size. Same problem with Illustrator. I've made all the Screen Resolution and Print-Size settings and nothing remedies the small display. (My working page is fine; it's just the display that is REAL tiny!!) Can you help me? Do you have any suggestions for me to try? Should I re-install from the internet? Am I forced to upgrade my application? I appreciate any comments you might have. Thanks. -- Dennis

  • Can't download the Adobe CS5 Design Premium package

    I'm trying to download The Adobe CS5 design premium on a 10.10 Yosemite Macintosh laptop. The download gets to 3.76 GB then pauses for an eternity, I don't understand what the issue is. I've tried to re-download the file three times with the same result. One of the attempts prompted me to update to Java 8, which I did, but that didn't do anything.

    use a different browser and/or a different (wired) connection and/or a download manager and/or a different link.
    for the prodesigntools.com link:
    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Download Adobe CS5 Free Trials – All Direct Links without Akamai | ProDesignTools
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • After downloading CS5 Design premium, each app I open I receive a Windows error

    I recently downloaded CS5 from my schools website who has it fully licensed, and after downloading the whole CS5 design premium on my gateway PC with Windows XP SP3 AMD 64 4200+ 2GB of ram and an Nvidia GeForce 8600GT installed, each one of the apps I try to open up, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash etc. I keep getting a windows error saying "This program has encountered an error and needs to be terminated" and asks if I want to send an error report to microsoft. I believe this keeps happening at what you call the "splash screens"? When each program trys to loadup that is. Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling, still no solution, and ive updated my graphics card driver to the most current it can be, as well as actually reupdating my Service pack 3 update... still no help. If anyone else is having this problem or could possibly help, that would be great! Oh and I installed the same package on my compaq laptop that has vista, and it runs and starts up perfectly fine on there... And its really annoying because I cant figure out whats wrong! Please help! Thanks.

  • Cannot re-download The Adobe CS5 Design Premium to new laptop

    Dear All,
    I would like to re-install the CS5 Design Premium software that I've purchased last year because I would like to install it on my new laptop. Now I am using my toshiba laptop so I need to re-install the software, but when I logged on into the adobe account and download it, It said that it has been over 30 days and I can't download/re-install it anymore. Is there any solution for this problem?
    Thank you all and waiting for your response.

    You could just have backed it up somewhere? It says so on the downloads page. Other than that try this: http://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl

  • ¿Version de prueba Adobe CS5 Design Premium en Español?

    Hola a todos
    Tengo una pregunta sencilla. Ya para estas fechas han salido las versiones de prueba de los programas de la CS5 en la mayoría de idiomas, pero para la versión de la Design Premium no ha salido aún. He estado revisando y sólo aparecen para tres idiomas: Inglés, Francés y Alemán. Mi pregunta es: ¿Para qué fecha se tiene previsto lanzar esta suite en idioma español en versión de prueba para descargar?
    Muchas gracias por su tiempo...

    Hola Claudio, pues lo siento, pero yo tampoco tengo en este caso una respuesta precisa.
    Aunque las versiones de los programas por separado se han ido colocando la Suite quizás falte debido a algún detalle del instalador o integración de los programas o de elementos comunes en cada uno de los idiomas, tambien puede estar a falta de que alguien verifique todos los idiomas o de su visto bueno final, no creo que ya tarde demasiado.
    Ahora bien, no hay ningun problema en descargar e instalar los programas por separado, habida cuenta que se instala el Bridge con cualquiera de ellos asi como otras herramientas y utilidades, ya no hay Version Cue, se ha retirado.
    Asi que no veo la diferencia, si se intenta instalar la Suite más tarde, detecta los programas ya instalados y no intenta hacerlo de nuevo. A la hora de desinstalar tampoco hay problema.
    La Suite Design Premium al parecer no incluye en el instalador, el Acrobat Professional, que incluso utiliza un no. de serie distinto.
    Para quién desea probar en serio varios programas, es más inteligente irlos instalando por separado y probarlos uno a uno, hasta 30 días cada uno, que no instalar la Suite y que corra el reloj de 30 días para todos los programas a la vez!

  • Deleting Adobe CS5 Design Premium set-up folder.

    I downloaded a digital copy of the set-up disk and successfully installed the suite. Now I'd like to delete the folder to save space and would like confirmation that it wouldn't affect the running of my programs before I continue,
    Folder contains deploy, packages, payloads, resources folders within.

    you can delete those files but you may want to save them, at least, to an external drive or dvd in case you need them in the future for another install.  currently they can still be accessed online but there's no guarantee they will be available in the future.

  • Why won't my CS5 Design Premium Update?

    I am unable to update any CS5 Design Premium program apart from Acrobat 9 Pro.  Support recommendation was to uninstall all Adobe programs, run the Cleaner Tool and then reinstall.  After doing this three times, deleting every add-on, finally only reinstalling Photoshop and Illustrator I am still left with only the original unupdated programs from the install disks.  Very frustrating.  Help would be appreciated.

    Unfortunately you have linked into the CS Review area which will not be any help to your delima. Try http://forums.adobe.com/community/creativesuites and chose the platform that you are on Mac/PC and there should be help for you! Best of luck.
