CS5 Photoshop/Bridge/Suite not working on new Retina Macbook Pro, running Mavericks 10.9.2

I recently purchased a new Retina MacBook Pro laptop running Mavericks OS X 10.9.2. I had Apple perform a data migration of all my apps and files from my older laptop onto the new one. Now when I go to open Photoshop CS5 I receive the following error message, "Could not synchronize the color settings because of a program error." Photoshop will then open but I can't do anything in the app. When I go to quit Photoshop I get this error 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."
I am able to open Bridge, however the app in entiretly is noticeably lo-res and pixelated looking, so clearly something is not up to speed there either.
InDesign and Illustrator are also having issues.
I have run the System Update and it does not show anything in the CS5 Suite needing to be updated.
Please advise! Thank you.

I do not get the Airplay icon on my Macbook's menu bar. I have checked the box in the Display settings to show mirroring options but still no icon. Airplay Display shows 'No device Detected'. Both AppleTV and MacBook Pro are on the same physical Network (192.168.1.0/24) and connected directly to my home ethernet switch (not wirelessly). I also made sure MacBook's Firewall is disable. Airplay feature use to work before upgrade to 10.9.2. As far as Home sharing from my AppleTV has a similar issue; it just does not find my MacBook after a while of loading and searching my music library. I am logged in to icloud on both devices (appletv and macbook). Also use to work before upgrade. Any ideas or recommendations. Thanks.

How do I perform a "Suite Product Activation" so that Acrobat will start working on my new Retina MacBook Pro?

How do I perform a "Suite Product Activation" so that Acrobat will start working on my new Retina MacBook Pro?
Like others, I have recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to the next generation and migrated all my information from old to new. Everything works seamlessly EXCEPT Acrobat. Photoshop, Indesign, Bridge and Lightroom all seem functional. Acrobat hangs with an error message "Suite Product Activation Needed. Acrobat was installed as part of a suite. To enable Acrobat, please start another element of the suite (such as Photoshop)." Needless to say, starting another element of the suite has NO impact on Acrobat.
This has to be a common problem. Now that Apple has made it really easy to migrate information from old to new machines, it has to come up all the time. What surprises me greatly is that I can't find any coherent answer in these forums.
So how do I get Acrobat running again?

Hi Anubha,
I do not understand what you said below.
I am running Adobe Acrobat Pro Version 9.5.5. I do not remember whether it came with Photoshop or InDesign.
When I open Photoshop, it opens without my having to follow any instructions to activate the software. As a matter of fact, I cannot find my Photoshop serial number anywhere in the Photoshop program itself. I do know it from my profile at Adobe.com. Are you suggesting I deactivate Photoshop on the new computer and then reactivate it using my serial number? Will it reactivate?
When you say
"/Library/Application Support/Adobe" at the root level of the startup disk (not the Library folder inside a user's Home folder)
what do you mean? I do not have a startup disk. I have the original installation disk but that version of Photoshop has been updated a few times.
After staring at your instructions for a while, I realized that you might be talking about the Library/Application Support folders resident on my Macintosh HD, although why you called it a startup disk is unclear to me. IAC, I went into those folders and duly moved the three folders into a new folder I called “Acrob1” and restarted Adobe Acrobat 9 and got the following error message: “AMT Subsystem Failure The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall of call customer support.” with a small (6).
By undoing my actions I am back to the staus quo ante.
Now what?
Regards, Robert

How to install Photoshop CS3 disc on a Retina MacBook Pro?

Just bought a new Retina Macbook pro and trying to install CS3... the program from my old Macbook would not work when moved to the new one. I have the original disc but this will not work on new Macbooks without a drive.
Anyone any ideas?

Feel free to contact support, but they'll only give you the finger, metaphorically. There is no support for old versions beyond sorting out your activation. And you get what was to be expected. All Adobe apps must be properly installed. Copying the installer files to a USB stick will work just fine. If for soem reason that's not possible, download using this method:
Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
You'll still run into trouble, though. CS3 was never tested on contemporary versions of OSX nor will it deal properly with Retina displays. As a minor, you will have to enable the half-res option in your display prefs during install and possibly usage of the program...

New retina macbook pro 13" slow animations

I am experiencing slow animations on my new retina macbook pro 13" (I have the middle 2,4 Ghz base model). This happens throughout the whole system, especially noticeable is the animation on the login screen and the laggyness when scrolling list views from inside your dock (for example scrolling your downloads or documents in "list view" mode inside the dock). But it also happens when scrolling in finder or with some window animations.
The solution that solves this problem is plugging in my external monitor which doesn't have retina resolution. Now everything is really smooth again like it should be.
I also checked a friends macbook pro (he's having exactly the same but with the more powerfull i7 processor) and it turned out he is not having those issues.
What I tried so far is resetting the NVRAM and a full new installation but neither did solve anything. I am not using any third party software which could cause this, it's also happening on a bare minimum system.

I have met the same problem too!
Mine is also the new macbook pro Haswell.
I have been using my macbook for 2 days.
And I have encountered sudden freeze for 4 times!
The keyboard and the trackpad are unresponsive.
But actually the system is working and the apps are working.
And the power button can actually work.
So every time I met this problem,I long press the power button and make it restart.
And then everything is okay.
Somtimes ,if you wait for 10~15 min, the keyboard and the trackpad will start working again.
When the second time I met this problem, I decided to go to the apple store for help.
But after several mins, it works again.
It is very annoying that the system suddenly freeze when you are busy working on the documents.
And it causes damage that you force to shut down the macbook.
I think it is a software problem?
Hope Apple can release some updates to solve this problem soon!

Retina MacBook Pro: What new adapters do I need?

I am seriously considering purchasing the new Retina Display MBP.
My confusion lies with some of the adapters
What adapter will I need to:
a) hook a new Retina MacBook Pro to a VGA projector?
b) hook a new Retina MacBookPro to a HDMI TV so that I can move video and sound to the TV directly?
I need to do both for teaching purposes when away from home
I understand I will need a new Ethernet Adapter and a new FireWire Adapter to work with the Thunderbolt connectors.
Its the other things I can't figure out

Barbara Passman3 wrote:
So, to be clear..
1) The new Retina Display or any Mac with Thunderbolt needs an adapter to connect to VGA and maybe ,also to HDMI.
Since I was corrected about the fact that your MBP already has a HDMI port forget my suggestion for a mini-displayport-to-HDMI adapter because, as pointed out, you can just plug a HDMI cable directly into your HDMI port to connect your TV.
The VGA adapter is, however, required to speak to the vga projector.
How do you plan to connect these? Specifically will both be connected at the same time or one or the other at different times? Depending on when you connect this stuff in various combinations I'll mention now, take a look at SwitchResX which you can use to enable and disable monitors without having to insert or pull cables (with the attendant wear and tear on the plugs and sockets).

Yosemite is messing with my new Retina Macbook Pro's sound output, help.

I just got my new Retina Macbook Pro 2 months ago and have been noticing some audio output issues. When I try to connect an external third-party audio device to run my KRK monitors my computer does not recognize the device and will not switch the audio output. After trying to set it manually my macbook won't even revert to the internal speakers for output and then I have to reboot my pro in order to get audio output again. This will happen randomly throughout the day after my computer has been in sleep as well, and sometimes the volume buttons get greyed out as well. Please help me with this issue as this is a new computer and it is becoming a nuisance. Even when connecting through HDMI, my audio output does not function and no sound will come out of the TV. I realize that this is probably a Yosemite glitch, but I just need to know if there is any fixes for this issue. Thanks so much for your time,

I installed CS6 on my new retina MacBook pro laptops. InDesign and Acrobat display document pixilated. I ran the updates and it fixed Illustrator and Photosho, but not InDesign and Acrobat. What can I do to make them display in high resolution? HELP!

InDesign CS6 is not optimized for retina displays. You’ll need to move to Creative Cloud for retina compatibility.

Mail transfer from the old macbook to the newer retina macbook pro

Hey, My father moved from an old macbook to the new retina macbook pro about 2 months back. Now as he is a business man he requires all his emails from his old mac onto the new macbook. The problem is to integrate his old mail data with 2 months of his current mail data.
All the instructions i have yet found online only seem to be for a new macbook where all the mail data and preferences could be transfered.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers

New Retina Macbook Pro running mavericks gets stuck at one minute during setup when coping files via USB

Running setup on a late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro for the first time process gets stuck saying "Less then a minute remaining". Transfer is via USB from a clone of my drive on an external drive that is bootable from my 2007 Macbook Pro running 10.68. Have run disk utility on drive and fixed premissions in advance of running set up. Have had the same happen when I activate the new Retina Macbook Pro without running setup and then running Migration ***'nt later.

New Retina Macbook pro 15 Haswell system yellow screen??

Can someone comment or verify if there is a problem with the New Retina Macbook pro 15 Haswell system screen? Something concerning a yellow screen. Is this a problem?

Before you get too deeply into screen switching, you might take a look at what's probably the longest thread in the Apple Communities. Then, try the Expert calibration mode in Display Preferences>Color to see if that helps.

Buying new retina macbook pro

I'm getting a new retina macbook pro and I was wondering if I could ask for a Samsung make at the store before buying it. Thanks

You could try - there are an number of people on the Retina IR thread that have asked, specifically, for Samsung displays and have been able to open up to three boxes in hopes of finding one. You may get lucky, you may not. The IR problem isn't universal although it seems more prevalent on LG monitors than Samsung - while the Samsung monitors seem to have the problem of display yellow or pink tints on the screen.
I just wouldn't buy a Retina display right now - although I'm sure that there are tens of thousands of happy oweners, I've heard of too many problems on these boards to buy one yet.
Just my 2¢...

InDesign CS4 crashes at start on new retina Macbook Pro

Hi
Have migrated all user information and applications from an Intel iMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to a brand new retina macbook Pro on mountain Lion. Everything works apart from inDesign CS$ which crashes at start up. The crash log is here.
Have already tried most of the suggestions I have found here, resetting preferences etc, but have not been able to uninstall CS4 as the uninstaller encounters a script error when it is run, therefore have not been able to fresh install the app.
Has anyone any advise they can offer, thanks.

Ther first crash report looks like the culprit may be SING (see SING Removal) but you really should do a clean install of the applications rather than a migration. Since the uninstaller is failing you can run the clean tool to do the removal: CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3

OSX 8.2 new Retina Macbook Pro won't wake from sleep.

Since upgrade to OSX 8.2 new Retina Macbook Pro won't wake from sleep. Tablet lights are on in morning and fans running like crazy, but it requires hard quit and start. Tried with no apps running, no change. It was fine before this last update. Wasn't the recent firmware update supposed to fix this issue? It seems to have started one for me.

I have the exact same problem with my Macbook Pro OS 10.8.4. What happens is: I work on the train, press cmd/alt + eject to put to sleep..pop it in my bag...get home or office... open the lid...and nothing! Battery indicator shows I have plenty of juice but it will not wake up no matter what key I press.
The only difference between use on the train and home/office is the plugging in of peripherals and mains power. It happens sparadicially, perhaps once or twice a week and I always send a 'panic report', so somewhere there will be approx 20 reports of this fault at Apple.
