Can't install an older version of Photoshop

I'm trying to install my copy of PS CS3 on 10.6.8, Snow Leopard and it won't let me finish installation. Any ideas? The two bars are1/8th finished and then it says cannot install software. In the beginning it promts me to install the CS4 disc, then the CS3 disc, then CS4 and to CS3, over and over again.
Any clues?

My experience (going back to a G5 iMac in 2005) is that you MUST install the lower version first in order to run two different versions on the same machine. I did it that way with CS and CS3, then CS3 and CS4, and later on my MacBook with CS4 and CS5. Now my Mini has CS5.5 and CS6, but I've always had to install the lower CS version first or the higher would keep the lower from installing.
So you will probably have to remove CS4 and then reinstall them both in the proper order.
Is there any particular reason you want or need both? In my case, I already had CS 3 and installed CS4 in addition, but later removed CS3 as I found CS4 was able to do everything CS3 did and then some. In fact I'm unaware of anything aside from some older filters that would run better in CS3 than CS4.

  • I can't install an older version of flash player and the new one won't work.

    I've read on the boards everyone says to run the Adobe uninstaller prior to trying to install the older version and I did, but the download still says it can't install the older version because it isn't the current version. And the current version isn't running on my computer. All I have is a black screen. I need the adobe flash player to for work purposes and it is really hindering my ability to function at work without it. Can someone please provide some kind of help that may actually work? Because I've uninstalled and reinstalled this several times. I have tried adjusting settings...everything I have found on the boards so far.

  • Flash player v10.02.159 won't install - how can I install an older version?

    Hi all, any help will be appreciated.
    I've read all the relevent posts in this forum and tried the various suggestions. (used the Adobe uninstaller, used the various packages on the x64 help page; clean installs and uninstalls with RevoUninstaller Pro) shockwave for director is on Firefox, but would not even download on IE. (I don't use IE anyway, but...)
    I am running XP pro x64. I have Firefox v3.6.16 and Internet Explorer v 8 32 bit. I don't have the 64 bit installed.
    When I updated to v 10, it wouldn't install on either browser. The error message for the Flash player 10.2 installer reads:
    I am also running Chrome. I never updated the player, so it works on there (thank goodness!) (Nothing shows in the extensions folder)
    I tried to install an older package, flashplayer 9r280_win.exe and Brothersoftdownloader_for_Adobe_Flashplayer. - clean installs and uninstalls each time., also with no luck.
    Can someone tell me how to install an older version until the 64 bit version works for me? Or - if there is a fix that has not been posted yet - I'm game to try.

    You could try if the MSI installer works better; download it from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    If it does not, archived FP versions can be found at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html

  • Can Adobe Configurator 3 create one panel that can be installed in other versions of Photoshop?

    Hi,
    I am able to create a new panel for CS5 and CS6, however, if I create a CS5 panel (thinking it should work in CS6 as well), when I try to install the panel ZXP file in CS6 Extenstion Manager, I am unable to do so...meaning, the CS5 panel will not load for users with CS6?  Is there any way to create a panel in Configurator 3 that will export one zxp (or similar package file) that can install in multple versions of Photoshop?
    I note in Configurator 2, I was able to export an mxi file that I could convert in Extension Magager 3 and that seemed to open without issue, however with Configurator 3, I don't see any other export options but zxp.  Any help on this would be great!  Thank you!!
    Evan

    Because of the difference of scripting interface of CS5 and CS6, Configurator cannot create a panel that works for multiple versions of Photoshop. You need to create two of them for CS5 and CS6. In your case, I suggest you create a panel of CS5, and then create a version of CS6 by clicking "Edit->Convert to CS6". (Some buttons will be lost if those buttons are not supported in CS6)
    Configurator 3 creates the zxp for you and you need not to create one with mxi file and Extension Manager.

  • Can i install an older version of facebook

    My nephew has a iPod touch 2nd generation which has an iSO 4.2.1 and will never be able to upgrade the software beyond iSO 4.2.1. So, the new Facebook requires 4.3 software, obviously not going to happen. Is there a way to install an older version of Facebook so that he can still access Facebook without all the 'bells and whistles' of the 4.3 version?
    Thanks

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • Can I install an older version of Reader on my iPad?

    I have 4 iPads that we installed Aobe reader on approx. 6 months ago.  We thought we had locked down all of them to not update, but missed one.  The one that updated now no longer matches the training materials we created for the process the iPads are used for in our environment.  Is it possible to install an older version of Adobe on that one ipad?

  • Just got my G5 - can't install my older version of Final Cut

    Hi there - I have Final cut pro 2 and the version 3 upgrade. I'm trying to install on my G5 w/OSX but ran into a snag. First I found myself installing OS 9 from the OSX cd but now, when I try to start Final Cut Pro 2 (so I can register it and install my v.3 upgrade, I get the following message, "That application or control panel is not supported by Classic" (after Classic tries to launch).
    Is it possible to get this installed on OSX?
    Thx!
    Bill

    The installer you referred to is not an actual 9.2 OS ... it's merely Classic. FCP (and many other intense apps) won't run in Classic; they require a full OS to operate.
    Have you tried installing the FCP 3 upgrade? It will ask for the FCP 2 serial number but as I recall, an older version doesn't have to be on the system.

  • Can I install an older version of software?? Nokia...

    Hi,
    in my nokia n97 mini I do some update via Nokia Ovi Suit to version 30.0.004 and my digitalizer goes creazy. It doesn't work like before;/ I want to try install some older software but I don't know where I can find it and how to do this. Can someone help me??

    Hi szop44,
    Once you have updated your device, it is not possible to go back to the previous software. If you have any issues with your device, you can either reinstall the current software or visit a local Nokia care centre for further assistance. 
    Also keep in mind that we no longer produce the N97, so we won't release any updates for this device anymore. 
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I install an OLDER version of iTunes-- on a Mac?

    I upgraded to iTunes 9.1--- and now it won't connect to the iTunes store. How can I go BACK to an older version. This is terrible--- and Apple is NOT HELPING!
    It seems to be a common problem.
    Help!

    to downgrade to a previous iTunes version, you could try this user tip that seemed to have worked for some:
    +1) Quit iTunes.+
    +2) Delete iTunes from your Applications folder.+
    +3) Go to your ~/Music/iTunes folder. Delete or rename the "iTunes Library" file.+
    +4) Open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and look for the backup of your old pre-9 library; it should be dated at about the time you first ran iTunes 9. Copy it back out to the ~/Music/iTunes folder, and rename it to "iTunes Library".+
    +6) click here to download iTunes 8.2.1. The page says it's for G3, but the Read Me file says it'll run on G4, G5, and Intel too. Open the disk image and run the installer.+
    +You should now be able to run iTunes 8.2.1 again.+
    +And your iTunes will restore to before you upgraded and you won't lose anything+.

  • Can I install an older version of Lightroom?

    I bought the Creative Cloud deal but can't install Lightroom 5 because I have Windows Vista.  Is there a way to get Lightroom 4 with it instead?

    On Windows XP, when I switch to Lightroom 4.4, I do get a button which says Download Lightroom 4.4.
    However clicking that button gives the following message
    You are running an operating system that Lightroom no longer supports. Refer to the system requirements below for a full list of supported platforms.
    That message is correct for XP.
    But if you're running Vista, I would expect the download the start. Have you tried different browsers?
