Can External Drives be Home for CS3 Photoshop and Illustrator?
I thinking about upgrading to PS and AI CS3, but my C drive is pretty full--only 1GB spare. I'm using Win XP.
Can these products be installed on an external drive, work design images from there or in a partition, and be stored there without problems?
Or, I have 4 partitions with sufficient space that might hold the installations with anywhere from 11GB-193GB. Would installation there be appropriate with all work saved to my external drives? (I have 2)
I'm already nervous reading all the installation problems I've previewed
and sure don't want to add to them.........thanks so much for the advice....mm
All of my applications, including Adobe apps, are on drives/partitions other than c:, which is my system bootup drive. Data (i.e., "documents") are on other drives. Scratch space is on yet other drives. However, all of these drives are internal, not external.
External drives should work, but this is not recommended because you simply cannot achieve the data throughput you can with internal drives (unless you are using the eSATA interface or high-speed SCSI drives).
Applications like Photoshop and Illustrator move a lot of data around and require ample scratch space for proper functioning. Every component of your system -- processor, memory, hard drives, etc. -- needs to be optimized to avoid bottlenecks that can send you out for extra coffee breaks. External drives (with exceptions as noted above) are going to slow you down.

WHatever issues you have are specifuc to your local system, not Adobe. Since you have not provided any shred of useful,technical details such as system info nobody can tell you anything.

If you're going to be a professional, consider the $10/month a steal compared to the cost of tuition. 2c.
Well, it does depend a bit on whether he/she lives in a country where tuition might be zero, and the minimum monthly wage far lower than in the West. Perhaps CC is not even available in his/her country. Perhaps he/she has to take care of an entire family as well - and no money is left for anything as luxurious as a CC subscription.
We have no way of knowing his/her circumstances. They might be bad. If they are, I doubt Adobe will care she/he is using a cracked old version to learn the craft, and then go legit at a later time when she/he can afford it to produce professional work.
Honestly, I feel Adobe should just provide their tools for free for students. Autodesk does that. No reason why Adobe should not follow suit. Most students I know work with cracked versions anyway. -
Where can I find the license for Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements 6?
Does anyone have any ideas of how many computers I can put this software onto??
Thanks!Contractually, the license allows you to install it on just two computers, as specified in paragraph 2.4. PSE 6 doesn't enforce that provision programmatically as many Adobe products do (including PSE 8), so you could install it on 200 computers, if you wanted to violate the terms of the license agreement.

As you suggest first click on your "name", I did,..
then click on "Manage account" , I did.....
then under "Plans & Products" click "Manage Plan", I did.....
I don't see "Cancel Plan" under "Plan Detail"

Photoshop and Illustrator updates fail using Adobe Application Manager, why and what can I do?
In the Adobe Application Manager, it says there are updates for both Photoshop and Illustrator. When I click to update, they both downloaded and attempted to install and in the middle of this process, Application Manager shows that the updates fail. After this, upon restart of my Mac–running Lion–Illustrator shows that it's up to date in the Application Manager and Photoshop shows an update is available. Upon trying to re-update Photoshop again, the update fails again and again.
I have updated before a few days ago with no problem, so I don't understand why the updates are failing and why after doing so, now Illustrator shows that it is up to date and Photoshop does not.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so, does anyone know why and what I can do about it?
Thank you.Hi Richei Creative,
These would be my suggestions:
Create a new user account with administrative rights, log out of your current account and into that one, launch Adobe Application Manager and attempt the Photoshop update again.
Instructions if you need them - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468
If this fails, uninstall Photoshop (Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers) and reinstall Photoshop then from Adobe Application Manager the attempt the Photoshop update again, also from the newly created user account.
Hope these help,

Can't Install cc 2014 InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator
I have tried several times to install the 2014 updates through cc for InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. I get an installation failed message, Learn more simply says Installation encountered an error. Please restart your system and try again. (15)
Restarting and trying again does not help.Hi Gianfi,
I used time machine and took the program folder from before the last Apple update (in april) and replaced it with the new one.
the same I did with the application support folder. (Go to the library folder on the harddisk, in the library folder you have to open the applications support folder and look for the Adobe folder.
Replace that folder with the older one from before the latest Apple update using time machine.)
That helped me.
When you are not using Time machine you can try to reinstall your MacOS but I didn’t try that myself.
I hope this will help you.

Slowdown issue in Photoshop and Illustrator
I'm getting the spinning beach ball when doing various things in Photoshop and Illustrator. I'm running the newest version of CS6 on a 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM. When using type tool (default Myriad Pro font selected) I get, "Beach Ball" sometimes for up to a minute, then it works fine. When switching between Photoshop and Illustrator, "Beach Ball" again for up to a minute, then I get the new document dialog. Upon checking the console messages I'm seeing these errors a lot for both Photoshop and Illustrator:

i want to format my external drive so that my new imac and my pc can read
Start by partitioning the drive as required for the Mac:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Now click on the Erase tab in the main menu, then select ExFAT from the Format Type dropdown menu. Click on the Erase button. This format is read/write on both the Mac and the PC. If you have a problem with it on the PC, then format the drive the same way using the Windows formatter. -
Exporting video to external drive un-edited for storage ?
I would like to import digital media off my old dvd tapes and put them on a external hard drive allowing movie withdrawals for events as they arise. 18 or 21st or for a laugh at a parties or whatever ! I don't wan't to loose the memories or the ability to edit. Is this achievable. I would like to channel my video imports straight onto an external drive allowing the whole family access and opportunity to be creative. My computer is loaded with my businesses support info and dumping my business info isn't an option, I don't want to waste time refining so to create space when I have so much storage available externally. The need to back up these files is increasingly important as connections to the old DVD camera are changing all the time and purchasing more adaptors is a bit of a pain. I may be missing something so obvious but I have explored iMovie and haven't seen the options for exporting or channeling the footage. It seems to me that this will be a requirement for a lot of people. So my question is does this facility exist or is there an option, or a way to do what I want. Thanks to any one who can help...
You should be able to drag them from the iTunes widow to an ext HD and copy them over directly. Another alternative is to create a PL and burn a data CD/DVD from within iTunes.
Once you have the video on another HD you could create another iTunes library for just your video.

Hello, I have installed Reader, Adobe Acrobat, trial versions of Photoshop and Illustrator. Some more than once. They work for a few days at most then I am told to re-install. I cant look at any pdf file even though I can still see reader in my programs. What is going on and what can I do to fix this?
Unfortunately no, It says "Adobe not responding" as well when I try to open a pdf. It has done this a few times where I had to uninstall and reinstall. Also, Illustrator tells me to uninstall/reinstall as well.

is my iMac now useless as i have installed lion and i am no longer able to run cs2 photoshop and illustrator as this is all i use my mac for they should make this clear before buying it i can't afford the latest version of cs2 and cant believe what a waste of money it is.
The newest version of CS2 is CS5. And it was made very clear that these applications would not run in Lion. Not only by Apple, but on all sorts of communities and websites. It has been a long time coming - PowerPC apps were outdated six years ago. Lion does not support Rosetta, and therefore not PPC apps.
you have to options. Go back to Snow Leopard or upgrade your software. (MS Office 2004 and older will not run either).
Cheers
