Adobe CS5 won't even run, why?

Installed the trial of Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended, but try as I may I can't get it to run. When I try, Adobe Application Manager appears. I accept the license agreement then click Start Trial only to be greeted by the this:
Reinstalled it a coupla times, but it happens each time. Very frustrating. I meet the specs necessary. Any thoughts?

I am the only user of this MacBook Pro actually, so yeah, I'm the admin.
Fixed permissions recently, but yeah, things haven't been working well lately in various things so I don't know.
In any case, thanks for the answer but I reckon I'll give CS5 a miss. Deleted the download and really don't wanna re-download again-again! Thanks anyway.

  • Firefox is starting in a small window, and won't even run no matter what. Help?

    Okay, long story short, I accidentally downloaded some viruses. We got them removed (me and my father), but now, Firefox won't start! Well, it does, but it opens in a very small window, doesn't have the logo, and can't do anything but shrink. Please note, that not even Internet Explorer/Exploder could connect to the internet, so I'm using another computer.
    Best of luck,
    Red (My nickname).

    When you start Firefox, normally there is a thumbnail of your startup page above the Firefox button on the Windows 7/Windows 8 Task bar. Is that all you see, the actual window is nowhere to be found?
    '''''Thumbnail Only'''''
    Sometimes the Firefox window gets off-screen. If you have a multiple monitor setup, make sure both monitors are on. Other users have reported that sometimes Firefox behaves strangely when the second monitor is off.
    In all other cases: Sometimes the Firefox window gets "off screen" somehow. You often can force it to appear on the screen by right-clicking the little thumbnail image above the Taskbar and choosing Maximize. Does that work?
    One possible cause for this is that the file which stores window sizes and positions has become corrupted.
    '''Method #1:''' ''If you can get a maximized window:''
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?
    '''Method #2:''' ''If you cannot get a Firefox window at all:''
    Shut down Firefox by right-clicking the taskbar icon > Close All Windows.
    Using the Run dialog (windows key + R) or the Start menu search bar (or in Windows 8 maybe the charms bar search bar?) type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the Profiles folder:
    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    Here you may see one folder -- in which case, double-click into that -- or more than one folder -- in which case, double-click into what looks like the most recently updated.
    Scroll down and rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?
    '''''Broken Window'''''
    If you get an actual Firefox window with missing features, try launching a new window using Ctrl+n. Also, try double-clicking the top bar to maximize the window. If neither works, please try the steps above for the Thumbnail problem.

  • ITunes won't even run

    I just bought an iPod Nano, installed everything, updated everything, and when I try to open iTunes, I can't even get it to run. I am working on a Windows XP. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Even starting from scratch with nothing but what came on the disc with my Nano. Help Please!!

    You may have already done this, but if not, you'll want to post this in another forum: iTunes for Windows. You'll find better help and advice there.

  • Adobe CS5 won't open .ase files.

    I was just introduced to Kuler, and being excited for finding a new swatch archive, I tried downloading a few for a project I'm working on. When I open them, they try to open in Illustrator (my project is in photoshop) and Illustrator says that the file isn't compatable? I have the CS5 Creative suite. Any help would be very appreciated!

    In Illustrator, from the Swatches palette  pop-up menu, select Open Swatch Libraries > Other Libraries, and navigate to  and select  your saved .ase file. The  file will open in a separate palette labeled with the theme name. To move these  swatches to the Swatches palette, select the  swatches you wish to move and, from the pop-up menu, select Add to  Swatches. The swatch will be added to the Swatches palette.
    In Photoshop or InDesign , from the  Swatches palette  pop-up menu, go to Load Swatches and navigate to your .ase file. Open the .ase file; your colors should appear in the Swatches palette.

  • Logic Pro 9 Won't Even Run For Me

    I have the new iMac 21.5" 3.06 GHz machine with ATI 5670 graphics card and 4 GB of RAM.
    I have Logic Pro 7 installed so I purchased the Logic Studio 2.0 upgrade. I installed everything. When I attempt to run ANY program in from the Logic install, it immediately crashes.
    Can somebody please help me? This is really the first time I've had ANY problems with a Mac (I've always had one since the Platinum Mac Plus!)
    When it crashes, this is the dump in the crash window:

    Here's how I got it to work. Now, the error message in the dump says it can't find the XSKey.Framework in the Library folder. So, I figured I'd start by examining the contents of the Logic 9 install package. (Right click on it and one of the options in the popup menu will be Show Package Contents or something to that effect.) After poking around I found an XSKey.pkg file which I copied onto my hard disk. I tried to install it but it said I had a newer version on my machine. So I decided to examine ITS contents and found a file named Archive.pax.gz . I copied this file to a folder on my hard drive and double clicked on it. It created a folder called Library. In the Library folder is Frameworks folder. In the Frameworks folder. In the Frameworks folder is an XSKey.Framework folder. I copied this folder (and its contents) into the \Library\Frameworks folder on my hard drive. Everything worked from then on!

  • $1200 and it won't even run!!!

    I just purchased FCP Studio 2. Loaded it on my system last night and can't get any of the programs to run. I've repaired permissions, rebooted the system and installed all the updates. When FCP loads a dialog pops up with the message Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly. Listed below is the problem report. Looks like FCP is having a problem loading a required library and I don't have a clue what to do to correct the problem.

    If you control-click / right-click on the FCP app in your applications folder, and choose 'Show Package Contents' Then navigate from Contents>MacOS, you should have a FCP Unix file, A 'Plugins' folder and a 'Thumbnail Cache Files' folder... anything else in there?

  • Download won't even start (Adobe Flashplayer)

    Hello, I am using Macbook Pro - Lion Version 10.8.2. I have tried downloading/uninstalling the previous version and downloading again. But the download for the latest Adobe Flashplayer won't even start. The page just loads but the download does not start. I tried restarting my com and did all that's said in the forum.. But it seem I'm the only one facing this problem. I have made sure that I'm downloading the correct version for it, just FYI. Any one knows how I can solve it? Thanks! 

    Can you check to see if you have "enable plug-ins" checked in Safari's preferences dialog, under the security tab? If not, enable it and check.
    It seems to be a browser specific issue. Try a different browser like chrome or firefox, it should work.
    For fixing Safari, lets follow below suggestions :
    Run the Flash Player Uninstaller as applicable for your machine(i.e.Windows or MAC) and remove flash player.
    For MAC : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    Restart the machine.
    Download and Re-install Flash Player.
    Restart the browser and check.

  • BB Link software - another BB disaster? Fails to even run now - C++ Runtime errors - any solutions?

    As if the latest BB10 / BB Link software wasn't bad enough in terms of functionality - now BB Link won't even run. 
    I recently discovered by chance (thank for not telling any of your customers RIM), that they'd mildly updated BB Link so that it could actually now two-sync Outlook for contact/calendar etc. I've been using the updated software for about three weeks. Problem?
    Now it won't even run. 
    I get the following error showing on the screen - a C++ runtime error, followed by these details. Anyone know what it means or how to resolve it? 
    Would I better off actually chucking my Z10 out of the window, claiming on the insurance and just getting a phone from someone else? I probably would. Why, why, why do I persist with BB who refuse to release things that their customers want? 
    Rant over - any help, very much appreciated.

    I have taken a look and while it's so tempting to just pay the miniscule fee and use that, I spose my gripe is that there is no reason why the link software should not work epecially as it did with my first Q10 (and brilliantly I must add) it's just since I had to exchange my handset that it's all got to pot.
    And worse yet no one at RIM seems to be forthcoming with a response (on the support site, or any of the many customer forums) about this issue which is effecting quite a few users (the forums are buzzing with problems with Link and no real way to report them. *sigh*

  • Adobe CS5  Production Premium vs. Adobe CS4 Production Premium

    Hello:
    I am currently a worker at a production studio and we are thinking about upgrading our system Adobe CS3 Production Premium to either Adobe CS4 Production Premium or Adobe CS5  Production Premium.  Our company was at NAB convention in Las Vegas this year and were convinced that Adobe CS5 Production Premium was the way to go.  However we come to find (after purchace) that Adobe CS5 Production Premium only runs on (and correct me if Im wrong) 64 bit.  Now stuck with a system we cant use on our vista 32 bit I was wondering what are the beneifits between the two and if CS5 is really that great is it worth while to upgrade my computer systems.  I am sure I am not the only one to have run into this problem.  Any input or advice would be great.
    Sincerely,
    Really Confused

    Look HERE for a quick summary of the new features in After Effects. I can personally attest to the power of the new rotobrush. If you do that kind of work, it will save you a ton of time. Rendering times are considerably faster and being able to RAM preview a 30 or 40 second clip all the way through at full res is finally a reality.
    Look HERE for a summary of the new features in Premiere Pro. The major improvement here, in my opinion, is the ability to preview a multi-layer timeline with several effects in real time at full res without rendering.
    I can't tell you if it's worth it to you to upgrade or not. All I can say is that I'm really happy with it, so far.

  • Adobe CS5 Trial Setup failure on Mac. Help!

    Ok so I've been trying to download the trial for Adobe CS5 Photoshop and have run into some problems on my Mac. Here's where I am in the download process. I went to the site and clicked the download now button for the trial. I open the adobedownloadassistant.dmg on my desktop and double click the install adobe download assistant. I watch the bar on the adobe download assistant install go to completion and then it closes out. Now, from what I understand, at this point the download assistant should pop up and I'm supposed to sign in with my ID but the problem is that this window never pops up.
    I noticed one time that it said that a version of adobe AIR could not be found and suggested updating. I went to the Adobe site then and downloaded the latest version of Adobe AIR. When I try to install it I get an error message saying that the Adobe AIR installer application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found. This is also the same error message I got with the CS5 installer assistant.
    Here's a picture of the error message I get when trying to open the adobe AIR installer. Seems like a catch-22 to me.
    I'm running Mac OS X Lion on a 15" 2.2 ghz quad core intel core i5

  • Powerbook G4 - system 10.5.8 why won't it support Adobe CS5.5?

    I know my laptop is a few years old now, but I have upgraded it to system 10.5.8. I just bought Adobe CS5.5 as I needed it for class and the website stated it needed system 10.5.8 (which I have). Now that I've gone to load the programs it's now saying that it 'doesn't support the architecture'?? WHY??? Adobe state it needed 10.5.8 and that's what I have on my laptop. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? The processor is PowerPC G4 (1.1). It recommends 1 gig of ram and I only have 512 but surely it doesn't need a gig to load (I was just going to use one program at once or upgrade the ram later).
    I appreciate anyone who can shed some light for me on this!

    It appears the key point in Adobe's system requirements is that a Mac must have an Intel multicore processor, running on 10.5.8 and 1GB of RAM, among other requirements. Sorry, Adobe no longer supports the Power PC architecture, even if running OS10.5.8.

  • Why won't adobe cs5 photoshop uses only 3gb of my 12gb ram??? pls help

    hey guys can you help with this,.. i'm a bit confuse with my adobe cs5 photoshop in my system... i have an i7 970 processor and a tri channel 3x4 (12GB) ram.. but when i look at the EDIT>PREFERENCE>PERFORMANCE in my adbobe cs5 it only indicate 3GB available ram when i have 12GB installed in my system... i want to adust it to use 8gb of my 12GB ram.. how can i solve this??? need you advise thanks...

    Photoshop CS5 installs as both a 32 bit and a 64 bit version on an x64 operating system.
    Run the 64 bit version to access all of your RAM.
    Run the 32 bit version if you need compatibility with older 32 bit plug-ins.
    Look in the Start Menu for links to both.  The 64 bit version is labeled with (64 Bit) after its name.

  • Now Adobe won't even chat to solve install problems. Why?

    How can I reinstall  a constantly crashing Photoshop Editor if I keep getting "shared Technologies" errors

    I have been using PSE 11 with windows since June.  It has crashed 9 times.   India can't find problem or fix it.
    Because my 3 months are up they won't even chat with me but it is the same old problem. NOW however it won't reinstall due to "Shared technology error" .   I will try your solution once it does it again BUt it installed the 3rd time I tried it yesterday..
    My question to you today is this - PSE 12 is on sale for $54 at Staples.  Should I just give up on PSE 11 and buy a newer version?  Will newer version have the proper shared technologies?  When is #13 coming out.
    Thank you for your reply and concern.
