Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac install problem.

I just purchased Adobe Photoshop CS 5 for Mac and installed it on December 17, 2013. Last week I updated to a new harddrive. I am trying to re-install Photoshop and the disc asks all the usual questions: serial number, Adobe ID, Adobe Password, then the disk kicks out and says done. I open the applications folder and the Adobe Photoshop folder only has one file with 30 KB. Obviously, Photoshop will not open.

I was concerned that Adobe Photoshop CS6 would require me to update my computer to Mac OS 10.8. I updated from Mac OS 10.6.8 to 10.7.5 and lost my old InDesign and my old Photoshop. I purchased InDesign CS6. I read online that Photoshop CS6 was having problems with Mac OS 10.7.5 so I went with Photoshop CS5. I went to Best Buy and Simply Mac to try and purchase the program. They both told me to just go online and buy it. Nobody said go directly to Adobe. The problem is that I am just a homeowner that is not in the know about all these products. My wife is a school teacher and I could have purchased an education version. I thought, no I will just go ahead and purchase the full retail version.
The problem with Adobe is they think everyone is a computer geek and knows all about operating systems and programs. I am just a normal homeowner that is being taken advantage of by Adobe. Adobe manufactured and sold this product to a retail dealer. The product I purchased has never been licensed and I paid full retail for it. Now Adobe will not stand behind it!

Does Fireworks CS5.5 come in 64 bit format?

Background:
I was just setting up Acrobat X Pro to use Fireworks as its graphic editor, instead of Photoshop on my win7 64 bit machine.
I looked in the Win 7 Program files where all the 64 bit programs are found, only to find that there were no Adobe files there at all.
They are all in the X86 program file folder - including Fireworks.
So for the last few months I have been thinking that I was running 64 bit software and am not.
Which could well explain why I have had major problems running other Adobe programs.
I now recollect that when I originally installed CS5.5, I was asked if it should be 64 bit or 32 bit, and I selected 64 bit.
However, after the installation failed about 3 times, and was not 100% installed on the final one, it took about 2 days and calls to the help desk to install it so that it worked at all.
It may well be that on the final successful installation, I missed the option to install the 64 bit version, as by this time I was totally fed up with the whole process.
Questions?
Should I :
1. Leave well alone?
2. Delete them and re-install as 64 bit programs
3. Just install the 64 bit version and leave the 32 bit ones hogging disk space?
4. Does the 64 bit version run any quicker or better than the 32 bit one?
I don't want to risk affecting my CS4 version, and I seem to remember getting warnings that to delete CS5.5 would damage my CS4 files - or was it the other way round?
How do I go about it without ending up in a mess, and are there any pitfalls to watch out for?
What would you do? (no rude answers please )
Howard Walker

Quote from the Adobe Packaging:
System requirements
.Intel Pentium* 4 or AMD Athlon 64 processor.
While both these processors are capable of running both 32 and 64 bit software, why are they needed if all the suite is 32 bit?
While I do not doubt that you are correct, all the CS5.51 suite including Photoshop are installed in the X86 folder:
Photoshop is also installed in the 64 bit folder all by itself.
So it seems that the only program that actually needs 64 bit architecture is Photoshop, one of the few programs in the suite that I never use, as Fireworks fills all the needs of normal web graphics. I presume that this is a hint that Fireworks will not be available in future releases.
All very complicated and unexpected.
As to CS4 and CS5 remaining in the same folder, CS5.5 running on a 64 bit system, does not have the capability to code or maintain my existing websites, which are all written in standard asp and use access databases, as are millions of other websites that were written using Dreamweaver. That was never mentioned in the release notes, or many people would not have bothered to upgrade. I have no choice but to retain CS4 until I have re-written every one, which will not be done in a month or 6!
What is in the release notes, is that to remove CS4 after CS5.5 is installed, will kill the registry entries for CS5.5.
After all the hassle that went into installing CS5.5 in the first place, I don't want to do that again.
If Adobe wrote technically correct software, there should be no problem in uninstalling CS4. Do it at your peril!
Thanks for your input Jim.

Crop Dimensions Issue CS5 vs CS6

I am transitioning from Photoshop CS5.5 CS6.
Using CS6, I was cropping a photo and I defined an exact pixel dimension of 94px x 99px with an output 72ppi.When I went to resample it in the Image dialogue box to 94px x 99px. I was able to get the desired width of 94px but the height ended up being 89px. If I cropped it to the correct dimensions, why can't I do the same when I re-sample it?
I went back to CS5.5 and it did it flawlessly. I can't figure out what is going on with CS6.

I tried it with Constraint Proportions on before. I went back to the image file again and apply the cropping, restraining the size to 94px x 99px in CS6 and saved the file without the image resampling.
I just notice when I apply the cropping again in CS5, it cropped the picture slightly differently and got the results I wanted after resampling.
So if I restrained the dimensions when I cropped the image in both C5 and CS6, why is CS6 cropping it differently? I notice there are some extra options in C6 tool bar where you define the cropping measurements, (I'm not in front of the computer right now so this may not be accurate), I think there is an option to crop off white edges or something. Maybe there's a feature that is new I'm overlooking?

Edit in Photoshop CS5 Prompt Inconsistent

I've recently noticed that the prompt window which ask what to edit (Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments, etc.) when going to Photoshop CS5 is only popping up with some images. It use to be it would open every time I went into Photoshop CS5 from Lightroom 4. When I get the prompt I have choices. When I don't get the prompt it opens the image with all the Lightroom adjustments, but sometimes that not what I want other than going outside of of Lightroom and into Photoshop directly.
I'm running Lightroom 4.2 and Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 on OSX Lion. Also, I recently had to run a fix on a corrupt catalog. For those who are aware of the corrupt catalog issue I had it repaired via Dan Tull.
Any solution would be appreciated.
Thanks, Devin

Since you are using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5, ACR isn't fully compatible with Lightroom. When editing raw images, Lightroom will warn you unless you choose not to show that warning again. If you make that choice, then whatever choice you made at that time will be the one that is used. If you open a JPEG or a TIF image, Lightroom will always ask if you want to edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments, etc.. So if you have made the choice not to display the "raw warning" again, then you won't have that warning when opening raw images. But you will always be given those other choices when opening non-raw images.

Panels not showing in CS5 from configurator 2.0

OK, I didn't have a problem doing this in CS4....
Installed configurator 2.0 on my new Win 7 64 bit machine. Built a simple panel, exported it, double checked in extension manager - it's there..
Went to Photoshop CS5 (64bit) and did the "windows, extensions" thing, but the panel doesn't show there.
I have been able to download a panel from the exchange and see it in Photoshop, so I know it works.
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

* First, please check folder
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Panels\
If your panel is installed correctly, It should have a folder name same as your panel name
* If the folder exists, please check the content subfolder, and see if there's a <PanelName>.swf.
(Please don't save .GPC file to this folder)

Error communicating with server when trying to download a score in soundbooth cs5

I recently am getting back to some projects of mine. I went into Soundbooth CS5, and the Resource Central lists all of the scores and sound effects available to me. It says that i'm online, but then when I try to preview or download anything it gives me the following error:
"We're sorry, but there was an error communicating with the server. Please try again and if the problem persists, contact Adobe Technical Support (0) ioError: -1"
How do I get at the scores and sound effects? Is there a way I can download them so that I don't have to consult with the server anymore?

Soundbooth is dead and those servers are offline most likely. I haven't seen any official note on this, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be the case...

AIR update and CS5 Help Application

Okay, question mostly answered, see below
Using the CS5 Adobe Community Help application, to post this question, for example, seems slow. Since Help uses AIR, I am wondering if updating to AIR 2.0 would speed that up (CS5 installed AIR 1.0 on the system). However, I would think that the Creative Suite would have automatically updated to AIR 2 if it were compatible. This doesn't seem to have happened, even more than two weeks after installing CS5 (AIR is supposed to autoupdate every two weeks). The questions I have are:
1. Is the Help app. I received compatible with AIR 2? According to documentation, Help 3.3 is supposed to use AIR 2, but as above, AIR 2 did not deploy. Could there be different versions of Help 3.3 for AIR 1 and AIR 2?
2. Can I manually update to AIR 2 simply by downloading the application from the Adobe website, or are there compatibility issues with AIR 1-based and AIR-2 based applications, or with the software updating?
3. Is there a way to force AIR 1 to update itself to AIR 2, or does the automatic update not consider that an update but an upgrade? AIR 2 supposedly has an update manager helper app. available, but not AIR 1, as far as I can tell.
It seems like my copy of CS5 sat on the shelf for awhile.
Thank you for any insights that can be given here.
Okay, the version of AIR is found in a plist file, and does not correspond to the "Version" folder in the Framework folder for the application. According to that, my version is all up-to-date.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407625.html
The software version can also be viewed using System Profiler in Utilities. AIR will be listed under the Frameworks.
Incidentally, the Adobe Application Manager updating application lists the AIR version as 1.5.3 in its inventory, and not the version according to the Framework folder. Maybe someone could chime in on why that would be. Did the older version of AIR use AAM for updating, while the newer version has a separate utility?

Mac OSX 10.5.8
Installed the whole CS5 Production Premium Suite, licensed version. Machine also has CS4 Production Premium. After installing, I went into PPro CS5, loaded a CS4 project, scrubbed the time line a few times, rendered it, did a capture via FireWire from my HDV camcorder, tried out "Scene Detect", swore about on screen-preview still not available on the Mac (why?????), and then went into the Help function to lookup HDV capture. The first time I got the message about the help file update, I ignored it. The second time, I tried to run it and got the error.
Hope this helps.

Adobe Acrobat is not installing with CS5 Suite

I have downloaded the CS5 Suite and Adobe Acrobat is not being included in that download for some reason. What is wrong and how can I correct this issue asap!
thank you

Hello,
I am having the same issue. I purchased CS5 a few years ago and have reinstalled it onto my new computer (Was done successfully). When I went to download CS5, the adobe acrobat pro 9.3 (I believe this is the version) was not included. For the life of me, I cannot find the ability to download it anywhere. I'd prefer to not to have to purchase it again since I already bought it (even though it's been a few years).
Any tips would be most appreciated!
Thanks,

Printing problem: epson R2880 , CS5 + 6, OS Mountain Lion

Hi There,
First of all apologies if this is in the wrong thread, If so, could an admin please move it to a correct one?
I have searched google and these forums for an asnwer but am still having the same problem.
Since upgrading to Mountain Lion (from Snow leopard) my prints are not coming out well at all, it's mostly the reds which ae not vibrant at all, and coming out very orange.
I have tried numurous variations of settings:
photoshops manages colors, printer manages colors, relative,perceptual, made sure printer maanages colors is off, different paper types etc.
*I took screen shots of every setting to match to the prints so can post if neccesarry
I have also tried printing from Preview and LR 4, still having the same problem.
I even tried printing on a different machine with Snow Leopard installed (but was foreced to update to the latest Epson driver (9.0.2).
Does anyone have any idea where the problem could be?
I've been trying to print my portfolio for an important meeting and this has taken up about a full day of trial/error tests.
OS: Mountain Lion
Printer: epson R2880 (Px 5600 in Japan) Driver (9.0.2)
Paper: epson Photo crispia / Superfine Matte (making sure to switch out the matte blak and photo black cartridges eveytime)
SW: CS5, CS6, LR 4
Thanks in advance,
Jake

Apologies for the legth of this post but it needs it.
For 3 years I have struggled to get a B&W print without a magenta colour cast.
My old printer, an Epson 1400, only had 1 black so I thought this was to blame and bought a new Epson R2880 with 3 blacks earlier this year..
My setup is
CS5
Fotospeed paper
Fotospeed Crystal dye inks
Profiles for each paper.
A calibrated screen
Windows 7
All drivers etc are up to date.
Because it was originally loaded with Epson inks, I used the Advanced B&W (ABW) setting to print B&W photos, which were actually very good considering I wasn't using Epson paper. When the Epson ink ran out, I changed to Fotospeed Crystal dye inks with profiles.
I have successfully printed colour photos with the new setup for a couple of months.
Yesterday I had a batch of photos to print so I set the system up to Photoshop Manages Colour etc (PMC). ( I know what I am doing here)
The first, a colour print, printed OK.
Because the second was a B&W, I did a test print using ABW and then a test print using PMC. The ABW had a magenta colour cast, the PMC printed B&W so I printed actual size with PMC and it worked great.
The third photo, another B&W, I again used PMC and did a small test print - it printed magenta. This was only minutes after printing photo 2.
I did the usual messing around with perceptual and relative col. and quality and max. quality setting, PSD v Tiff etc. and everything came out magenta.
Shutdown PC and went to bed. Printer remained switched on to save on ink cleaning routines.
Today.
Booted up PC.
Did a small test print using PMC and it came out B&W - no colour cast. ??????
Printed full size and it came out B&W no colour cast. On checking the print I noticed some blown highlights so went back into CS5 and did some adjustments to recover the highlights.
Tried a small test print with PMC and it printed magenta. Again, only minutes between the two prints and it goes from B&W to magenta.
Closed everything down and did a PC restart. Tried again with PMC and still magenta.
Several magenta attempts later and I nearly gave up the will to live.
Had a brainwave - I have Canon Digital Photo Professional on my machine as I use Canon cameras so I tried to directly print from the Canon software.
If this printed B&W then it would indicate a problem between CS5 and Epson. If it didn't work then it would absolve CS5
The software allows you to select paper profiles etc in a similar way to CS5 and I also set up the Epson software as no colour adjustment (just like when you use CS5)
Tried a test print and it printed B&W.
Went straight away into CS5 and printed the same test photo using PMC and it printed magenta.
Went straight back to the Canon software and printed a full size print and it printed B&W.
Can someone from Adobe please explain why
CS5 and the Canon software must be using the same print driver yet one of them is successful and the other isn't?
Why, when using CS5 to manage colours, two prints, two minutes apart can change from B&W to magenta?
It suggests to me that the CS5 software is not handling the Epson driver correctly (or vice versa) and double profiling is occuring. In any event users of these products should rightly expect one of you to pick up the ball and run with it and not just blame each other.
So my third question is - will Adobe run with the ball?

Scripting in CS5

Looking for information for someone else, I came across a post here that said "use the script ExportAllStories.jsx that comes with your default InDesign installation." Went to my CS5 installation, inherited from my predecessor … no Scripts option anywhere. My Illustrator CS5 from the same installation has File > Scripts; even my FrameMaker, on the remotest fringes of the Adobe family, has File > Script. What do I have to do to access scripting for InDesign?

Thanks, Peter! Ah, there's nothing like with an integrated UI across products … and this is nothing like an integrated UI :-}
PhotoShop CS5 also has its scripts under File, so did someone take a conscious decision to put scripts at a different level and in a different menu in IDD?

Dreamweaver cs5 and PayPal Buttons

Greetings,
My website was created with Dreamweaver cs5. Customers who want to purchase a product from my website simply press the "Add to Cart" button and this takes them to the PayPal checkout.
Here is the problem. If you click on ANY of the add to cart buttons for a particular product, the PayPal add to cart button adds a totally different, random product from my website into the cart. I have had problems with the add to cart buttons before. However, PayPal insisted that this kind of problem might be caused by Dreamweaver.
Every time I need a new "add to cart" button, I create it in PayPal. PayPal generates a code that I then copy and paste into dreamweaver. A customer service representative for PayPal said that the problem might be arising because of a copy and paste issue. He said that dreamweaver sometimes changes things you paste into your code.
Is this true?
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Laila

I, too, have been experiencing similar problems. On PayPal support call earlier in day, I was advised to go to prefs/Code Rewriting/ and uncheck the "Rename form items when pasting" checkbox.
On doing so, I was able to test my problem page, http://www.screamingeagles.com/pages_02/invoiceMail.html and it worked in Safari, Opera, FireFox on two Macs, and Internet Explorer 8 on PC.
Closed all sessions, feeling pretty good about the fix, but on restarting about four hours later, Same Same...well, almost the same. At this point, the first item on the dropdown failed, while the next three, item 2, 3, and 4 choices and prices, worked. They appeared on payment page and reflected the correct prices, but just would not add the first item to the cart.
This prompted another call to PayPal support, and tech advised the same. On responding that I had already done that multiple times, he advised I contact DreamWeaver (Adobe) support as it was out of their scope of responsibility.
PayPal support tech also regenerated my code, pasted it in his text editor, and it worked exactly as I had saved in my "Saved Buttons". So, that again supports that it's a DreamWeaver problem/bug/flaw...insert language as needed.
I can't see any difference in the code itself (although I'm not an expert) so that led me to this post. The only other items within the Rewrite Code prefs that "might" influence it (in my prefs) is that I have checked:
Fix invalidly nested and unclosed tags
Remove extra closing tags
Warn when fixing or removing tags
Never rewrite code:
Special characters:
Encode special characters in URLs using %
Unchecked items:
Rename form items when pasting
URL encoding
On my request, support tech also agreed that this should be escalated at his end to contact Adobe, as we agreed that it was unlikely that I would be the only person running into this problem.
Looking forward to any response,
Thanks,

I regenerated the code for the payment button and pasted into Simple Text. The code had the <option value=(1) etc etc lines (on /invoiceMail.html that corresponded to lines 145, 146, 147, 148) indented. I then went into Dreamweaver CS5 code, pasted, and no indent visible.
I manually indented each line four characters in, published, and that change seems to have worked.
Can't say with certainty, but one of those actions worked. (Keeping in mind I had already recreated the PayPal code a few times.)
Hope that helps somebody.

VST Audio for CS5 SDK question

I have a couple of old audio plug-ins that ran on CS4. I just recompiled my old VST library for 64 bit and built my plug-ins. Everything went okay, but CS5 does not see them. Is there a new VST library for CS5 or should I be doing something else?
Thanks,
Gee

Hi,
Can you post the .cpp file that Zac made for you?
It’s kinda hard to help you if I can’t work out what sort of callback you were trying to make.
Btw,
Based on your original post...
>In the examples you gave me years ago, I made following declaration:
>AEffect *main (audioMasterCallback audioMaster) { ...
>}
>In CS4 it complained so I made the following change:
>int *main (audioMasterCallback audioMaster) { ...
>}
>
...I just grep'ed for the "audioMasterCallback" in all CS3|4|5 SDKs for AE and Premiere and it's not there.
I'm wondering how you compiled at all when there is no definition for it in the headers?

CS5 Help Application Broken

Shortly after installing CS5 (licensed version - not demo), I decided to check out the PPro help file. After selecting HELP->ADOBE PREMIERE PRO HELP, a window popped up telling me that an update for the Adobe Help application was available. I figured what could possibly go wrong? Well the installation of the update failed:
"The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author."
And now, whenever I try to view the PPro Help, I get:
"This installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance."
So I downloaded the Adobe Help application from http://www.adobe.com/support/chc/ and the installation also fails with the same message. I also tried re-installing it from the distribution DVD's. Didn't help. I guess I can access the help files from the Content DVD, but just want to warn others in case you are tempted to run the update. I guess there could be something flakey about my system:
Mac OSX 10.5.8
2 x Dual-Core
13GB RAM

Mac OSX 10.5.8
Installed the whole CS5 Production Premium Suite, licensed version. Machine also has CS4 Production Premium. After installing, I went into PPro CS5, loaded a CS4 project, scrubbed the time line a few times, rendered it, did a capture via FireWire from my HDV camcorder, tried out "Scene Detect", swore about on screen-preview still not available on the Mac (why?????), and then went into the Help function to lookup HDV capture. The first time I got the message about the help file update, I ignored it. The second time, I tried to run it and got the error.
Hope this helps.

Green/Glitched Screen when switched from CS5.5 to Adobe CC.

I recently upgraded from CS5.5 to Adobe CC, and I converted a Premiere Pro project to open in CC. ALL of the video was green or glitched looking. The source videos are .mp4, with 17 videos that I'm pulling from to make this project. They have also changed from 59.94 fps to 0.00 fps or 0.01 fps. It shows up in Quicktime fine, and played in CS5.5 fine. I can only hear the audio, but all the video has turned green.
I am using:
Mac 0S 10.9.4
Adobe CC Premiere 8.0.1 (21) Build

Hello I just wanted to update and look for help again. For my previous project I just went back to CS5.5 and continued working from there since I was unable to solve my problem. I was able to start a new project after that without problems, but now, I have started another project from scratch, and it is showing up with the green screen after importing, again. The videos should be at 59.94 fps, but are showing up at anywhere from 0.00 - 0.06 fps, 0.37 fps, and 0.61 fps. I can still hear the audio, but am only getting a blank green image instead of video. Please note I started this project directly in Adobe Premiere CC this time as opposed to starting in CS5.5, and am still running into this issue. Could anyone please tell me why this is occurring and help me out?
