Adobe photoshop cs5 extended installation error (Mac); Inconsistency in installer database

Just bought CS5 Extended and ran into this problem on my Mac Book Pro running macos-x 10.6.4.
I tried to restart a few times but to no avail;....I also downloaded the advisor application and it did not turn anything up; no issues encountered......Any ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion djnickatnight.  I ran the cleaner and it seems that I will *finally* be able to install CS5
I am running 10.6.8 OS on a MBP attempting to install CS5.  I installed LR3 in no time, but CS5 has been a nightmare!
I hope Adobe reads these forums to understand the level of frustration and time expended installing their products.
Quick list of Adobe issues I've encountered, with fixes as I waded through the process:
Find where to download software you've purchased at Adobe-  hard to do since Downloads menu only shows current offerings (LR4, CS6, etc)Not obvious, had to google to find out:  You must look under Your Orders, where you will find a download button.
What the heck is Akamai Download Manager?   I decided to give Adobe the benefit of a doubt and downloaded it.  Akamai buried itself so deeply into your machine that I had to do a search to find out that it was now inside my System Preferences (not a location for an app!).  Weird.
Click on Akamai and find . . . . .NOTHING!!!  Ta Da!   And no instructions or menu (Yes, I read the ReadMe.pdf.  No help there either).   Litterally, there is an empty box, with no instruction how to begin the CS5 download.  Nothing.
Finally after trial and error I discover that the FIRST time you click Akamai Download Mgr. it installs inself,  the SECOND time you click the same link, it will begin to download the *.dmg file you seek.  How obscure is that???  Click same link, but get different results.  Lame.
After all of that I got a variety of input/output errors, and hang ups.  This is a on a machine that was reformatted with new OS the day before, BTW.
More google searches, gnashing of teeth, etc.
Finally found this page, which recommended to use CSC cleaner:  http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html  This seems to work and I am now nearly installed.    WHEW!
Bottom line, it was way too difficult to install CS5.   The Akamai interface desperately needs documentation.  The install should not take two days and multiple hours to read up and try to get lucky and actually get what I paid for.  Please.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended Installation Problem

    I tried installing Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended from the CD on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 but installer kept unexpectedly quitting. Has anyone else experienced this as well, if so how did you fix it? Thanks!

    It didn't work for the new user account either.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended on a Mac i5

    I installed the trial version of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended on my Mac i5 and it installed as Abobe Photoshop CS6? (the standard version) I have tried everything but haven't been able to come up with an answer.

    I don't have a 3D menu, it ended up installing as the standard version of CS6.
    I had a copy of CS5 Extended prior to this trial version, that has been uninstalled and I have used the cleaner to get rid of all the left overs etc in other part of the drive.
    The splash screen say Photoshop CS6 without the Extended.
    Thank you

  • 3D Text with Repoussé in Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended | CSInsider | Design | Adobe TV

    In this episode of CSInsider, Rufus Deuchler, Worldwide Design Evangelist at Adobe, introduces you to how easily you can extrude text in Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended to create fully fledged 3D objects. These 3D objects can then be rendered using Photoshop's own Raytracing engine, including cast shadows. This feature lets you add a 3D flair to your 2D images.

    When I go into either CS 5.5 extended, the 3d features are ALL greyed out??? What is wrong?

  • Does my computer meet the system requirements for Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended?

    I am planning to buy Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended but I have tried to understand if my computer 's system is enough for the software. Please help me, the Adobe requirements I am unsure of are in bold and my system is in italics (My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5715Z):
    Windows
    Intel® Pentium® 4 or AMD Athlon® 64 processor - Intel Pentium Dual CPU T2330  (Should be higher than Pentium 4???)
    1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with qualified hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics card, 16-bit color, and 256MB of VRAM - display is no problem, Mobile Intel GL960 Express Chipset with Integrated 3D graphics, featuring Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 with up to 358 MB of Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology 4.0)
    Some GPU-accelerated features require graphics support for Shader Model 3.0 and OpenGL 2.0 - I haven't got a clue what to look for.
    Thank you for all help!
    Jen

    Brand:
    Acer
    Mfr Part Number:
    Aspire 5715Z
    RAM Size:
    2 GB
    Processor Brand:
    Intel
    Processor Speed:
    1.6 GHz
    Processor Type:
    Pentium
    Hard Drive Size:

    Operating System:
    Windows Vista Home Premium
    Screen Size:
    15.4 inches
    That's from the Acer website.
    It IS a pentium processor, but I see nothing to indicate if it's 64bit. I'm guessing it's 32. CS5 works best in a 64 bit environment, that's my personal opinion. I've used it in both and 64 outperforms 32.
    2Gb of Ram will cause some performance issues too. If your aspire can be bumped up to 4Gb do that first.
    80Gb of HD with Vista and I don;t kow how much other software and files you have, but it isn't a lot these days. I had a Toshiba with an 80Gb drive and I lasted about three months before I HAD to put a 250Gb in it. Once I had Vista Ultimate, CS4 Master Collection, Office 2007, Roxio Creator 10 and about 4 Gb of websites. I had to connect an external drive for my Photoshop files because I had about 6Gb left on the drive.
    It will run (in 32bit mode) but with the "factory" specs, it will run slower and you may experience issues with it freezing up on large files (2Gb or bigger).

  • Necesito actualizar la versión de prueba de Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended, para mi curso en Deusto

    Necesito actualizar la versión de prueba de Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended, para mi curso en Deusto Formación. Pues en la página de descargas, ya no está CS5 Extended, sino el nuevo CS6 Extended; pero yo necesito seguir con el que utilizo en el curso, al que estoy matriculada por un año (hasta marzo de 2013)

    Let me see if I understand correctly: You want to extend a trial version so you can finish your course? That's not possible. Unless you bought the product and have a serial number, there is no way to extend a trial version.

  • Serial number incorrect for Adobe Photoshop CS5 extended education edition

    I received a serial number for my Adobe Photoshop CS5 extended education edition, but I get the message: this serial number is not valid for this product.
    Apparently it's not possible to send an email to Adobe NL, so I hope someone can help me out.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi there
    I've checked your record and it looks like you've been provided with a CS6 serial number instead of CS5.
    Please provide the details from the bar code label on the box & I'll arrange for the correct serial number to be sent to you.
    Kind regards

  • ¿COMO COMPRAR ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS5 EXTENDED

    TENGO LA VERSIÓN DE PRUEBA DE ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS5 EXTENDED Y QUIERO COMPRAR LA LICENCIA, NO QUIERO OTRO POSTERIOR PORQUE NO LO SE USAR, ES MÁS NO QUIERO SUSCRIPCIONES ANUALES, QUIERO COMPRAR LA LICENCIA Y QUE ME VALGA PARA SIEMPRE, QUE LLEGA UN MOMENTO EN QUE NO SE PUEDE ACTUALIZAR MÁS, ME DA IGUAL, YO QUIERO EL EL MISMO PROGRAMA Y QUE NO EVOLUCIONE.
    TAN DIFICIL ES CONSEGUIR UN CORREO ELECTRONICO DE ADOBE ESPAÑA PARA CONCTACTAR DIRECTAMENTE CON ELLOS.

    Carlos te agradeceríamos no escribas todo el texto en mayúsculas, porque supongo sabes que equivale a gritar. Y esto es un foro de usuarios como tú.
    La única versión disponible, con licencia "perpetua" que se puede comprar, sin mantener una subscripción anual, es Photoshop Extended CS6, repito CS6, la última disponible antes de empezar el sistema tipo Cloud.
       - La versión CS6 y tambien la actual, funcionan igual que la CS5, lo único es que añaden nuevas opciones o posibilidades. - 
    En la página principal de Adobe.es, pulsa sobre comprar y... abjo del todo a la izqda., sobre fondo gris pone Creative Suite 6, al pulsar a'hi entras en el acceso a los productos C6.
    https://store2.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?event=displayCatalog&catalogId=CS6PR ODUCTS&store=OLS-ES
    (La versión CS5 dejó de comercializarse cuando apareció la CS6, o la CS5.5, hace ya mas de dos años)
    (Quizás haya una diferencia en el panel de Ajustes que ahora se llama Propiedades e incluye opciones del panel de Máscara, y tambien se ha mejorado el interfaz de opciones del 3D, con una más que notabe mejora de velocidad)

  • I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended and am having trouble with it.

    I just reinstalled Photoshop CS5 Extended from my original disk because I was having trouble with it. I did do an uninstall before installing. Every time I quit Photoshop I get this message: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders." Can you tell me what to do to fix this? I went to get info and made changes to read and write, but it made no difference. Thanks for your help.
    Richard

    Some folders are hidden in the Finder. Use the "Go to Folder" command for that.
    Go menu > Go to Folder, enter:
    /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings
