Adobe Design Premium CS3 moved folders

So after I installed Adobe DP CS3 in my app folder, I decided to put all the applications under one folder for better management. After I did this, I moved the folder to my dock as one of those expandable folders you can have right of the seperator on the dock.
When I opened Adobe InDesign, a message said it noticed the folder has been moved from the original place and needs to be repaired, so I repaired it. I knew all the other adobe programs were affected so I repaired all of them - except one.
Bridge keeps quitting unexpectedly, before I can click the repair button. I tried relaunching it but it doesn't work. So I moved it back to the Applications folder and opened it from there and it works fine. I don't want to have one adobe program floating around outside the folder where all the other programs are. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

You should not move a folder to the dock - rather you should simply create an alias or pointer to the actual folders. It's not even clear you can move a folder to the dock.
When you "moved" the folder to the dock, did the original one go away? If it did, then that's not the thing to do.
Just like the Document "folder" in the dock is not the actual folder, but an alias.
If you right-click a real folder you will see a "Get Info" and other items. If you right-click a "folder" or app in the dock you will see something completely different.

    if you're using the same computer hardware to reinstall your cs3, you don't need to deactivate first.
    but if there's a significant hardware change you can ask adobe support for an activation count reset. contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

  • Question + Adobe Design Premium CS3 Problem

    Question:
    When I boot up Leopard after the grey apple logo loading screen it will turn to the blue screen then directly to my desktop. In tiger it would go to the blue screen then you would see a window with a loading bar. Did they remove that in Leopard because I don't see it, it just goes directly from the blue screen to my desktop.
    Adobe Design Premium Problem:
    I installed Adobe Design Premium CS3, I got some functionality problems so I deleted it from my Applications folder to re-install the trial software as I was in a hurry to get InDesign working because I had an assignment due. When I tried to install InDesign CS3, it would tell me during the installation that I can't install it because of "Adobe InDesign CS3". I am assuming that it still thinks that InDesign CS3 is installed? I made sure that I had deleted all the Adobe software from my computer. It did this with my other applications too when using my CD to install Design Premium again. It's like I'm locked out of installing it? I've heard of other people having the same problem.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    If there isn't an answer, it usually means other users don't know the answer.
    As far as the Adobe suite goes, there are two steps to deleting the suite. The first is deactivating it (I think that's on the Help menu), and the second is running the installer with the Uninstall option so that all of the files it installs in various places are removed. Is that how you did it, or did you just throw files in the Trash? If you trashed them manually, there are probably pieces left behind that are getting in the way.
    That is all I know about that one. For potentially much more information, you should drop by the Adobe user forums, where there should be many more users with direct experience with the Adobe-specific install/uninstall issues. Try clicking on the "Creative Suite" forum there.

  • Upgrading Indesign from 'Design Premium' CS3 to CS5 - compatibility

    I work in-house in marketing; we're looking at upgrading two of our Adobe Design Premium CS3 suites to the CS5 version. We have four or five CS3 suite licenses but can only afford to upgrade two of them at present.
    My question is about the InDesign element - do we need to have the CS4 version in order to be able to effectively save down to a version that can be used between InDesign CS3 and CS5?
    I'm worried about compatibility internally and externally - we use a lot of freelance designers who mostly use CS5 - this is already causing issues as we cannot open the files they send.
    Any tips/hints you can give would be gratefully received!

    The ONLY way to get a file from CS5 to open in CS3 is to export from CS5 to.idml, open that in CS4, export from there to .inx, and open that in CS3. Ther esults won't look a whole lot like the original CS5 file, especially if any features were added in CS4 or CS5 have been used, and there may be noticable changes in text flow due to text engine differences between versions.
    Working in collaboration across different versions is a lousy workflow.

  • Install CS4 Production Premium from Design Premium CS3, but does not recognize CS serial number

    Try almost half day already but still do not know how to overcome the problem.
    My operation system is Windows XP SP3.
    I am installing Production Premium CS4 and it is an update version from Design Premium CS3. I tried to input my CS3 serial number in when it is needed, but it always gave me "Invalid Serial Number". I tried to install the Design Premium CS3 to the computer. The serial number is right and programs work fine. Then I tried to install the CS4 again. First, it cannot find my CS3 just installed before. Second, the serial number for CS3 still does not work. Any idea?
    I saw so many people posted the installation issues here. How come Adobe does not do anything to improve the product. I also called the customer support. After waiting 10 min, a guy asked my ID and then total silent. I called again and this time, I had to wait 20 min. Another guy told me this is tech issue so I need to call tech support. He gave me a 1-800 number but I tried, the number is invalid. I have been thought Adobe is a good company before. I really need to rethink that.

    Thanks, Bob. Indeed, it was my typo in the message (not CS, should be CS3). My purchase was right (I even discussed with Adobe Store person before I placed the order). I have Design Premium CS3 and the updates I brought is the one which can update from Design Premium CS3. Actually in the menu where I can input my CS3 serial number, it has several options and one of them is exactly Design Premium CS3. See this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/production/upgrade/ (I ordered the 2nd option. I ordered from a vendor which charged me $579).

  • Can i run adobe design premium 4 in macbook pro 2011?

    I just bought a macbook pro 2011 2.2 GHz, quad core i7 to work with my adobe design premium 4. I heard many software like final cut studio and adobe creative 5 are are not working well with mac os lion. I got really worry and want to return the macbook pro. But before returning the macbook pro, i need to hear from you. I google and many people had no problem running adobe cs3 and cs4 with mac os lion. I need your help!

    Both Adobe software titles you reference are incorrect. Do you mean Adobe InDesgn 4? if so that has problems running in Lion. I don't know where you get your information about Final Cut pro from. You can always check that forum here:

  • Adobe Production Premium CS3 does not support MXF files

    My computer crashed the other day and I had to install Adobe Production Premium CS3 on another computer. I noticed when I tried to start a new project there was not an option under Presets for DVCPROHD and when I tried to import my files with Bridge I get an error message stating "File Format Not Supported". What can I do to resolve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Shaun

    Here's what one guy wrote in another forum;
    >"ON THE SONY 6 foot plasma - the HVX200a stood out with apparently nicer colors, a more filmic look in general with it's 24p motion characteristics that have made it famous, and no artifacting that I could see. Again this was on the 6 foot Sony plasma. The EX1, while looking stunningly sharper than the hvx200a at first glance, is a mess of a camera with all sorts of issues that I really don't understand how anyone deals with. Perhaps I am a complete nut job or I had a broken EX1. I thought people were being overbearing and overexagerated with the rolling shutter, long GOP, and jellovision stories that I have read online, but it really is a serious problem. Now at first glance - on slow cuts and pans - the EX1 image seems to slam dunk the HVX except for some strange look of resolution loss or detail loss that appears to happen right after you start moving the camera for the pan - but the EX1 is so sharp that when it losses its detail (perhaps the codec lowering detail to avoid artifacts...although that of itself IS an artifact) it looks more similar to the HVX200a footage, but on fast whips and very fast handheld stuff I saw all sorts of issues and weird skews and slants that there is no way I could deal with. Philip Bloom may have some amazing images but they are all locked down and I don't do locked all the time down so this camera is out."

  • Can I upgrade to Master Collection CS5.5 without uninstalling Design Premium CS3

    Hi,
    I work for a company that has offices worldwide, but do not have the budget to upgrade all licences which is why I need to keep InDesign/Illustrator CS3.
    I wish to switch from Final Cut Express to Adobe Premier Pro/After Effects (I don't like the new Final Cut Pro X - for many reasons)
    Can I upgrade to Master Collection CS5.5 without uninstalling Design Premium CS3?
    Many Thanks,
    Sandeep
    (iMac 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 10.6.8)

    Absolutely. The upgrade won't touch the earlier version.
    Make sure you buy the right upgrade. Here's a link to it on Amazon: http://amzn.to/oRnKh4

  • CAnt find design premium CS3 on download page?

    cannot find design premium CS3 on download page?

    if you follow all 7 steps, you can download a trial via one of the links on this page using a browser that accepts cookies: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a download problem (eg, you see an error page or you are offered an incorrect version), you probably didn't follow all 7 steps.  typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem, but your browser must also allow cookies so that (a restrictive browser setting) is another potential source of problems.

  • Install Acrobat only with Design Premium cs3 installer

    I work at a school district that has a school that purchased a bunch of licences for Design Premium CS3. Howerver, many of the labs have decided that they only want Adobe Acrobat installed, and none of the other CS3 applications.
    I have successfully created a install.xml file for adobe acrobat, however, there are still some cs3 apps that get deployed with it, such as Adobe Bridge, Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit, adobe device central, adobe stock photos, & Adobe Extend Manager.
    If I try running the acroPro.msi directly from the payloads folder, the install wizard runs, but doesn't accept my Design Suite CS3 serial key.
    Does anyone know how to get Acrobat 8 to be installed without the other CS3 apps? Thanks

    There are certain components that get installed with the suite. I don't believe there's anything you can do about that without hacking the installer....something I wouldn't recommend given how poor the CS3 installers were to begin with.
