Can't install CS2 on laptop with Elements 11 already installed.

I'm taking a workshop that requires Photoshop. I use Elements 11 currently. I bought a new laptop and installed my Elements with no problem. When I went to install CS2 it says it can't find any files with CS5. My question is there a way to install CS2 without uninstalling my Elements 11? My computer lady says it's quit involved removing all parts of Photoshop from files. I went with an older version of Photoshop because I plan on only using the CS2 for this workshop and going back to Elements afterwards. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My new system is Windows 8.1

At least for Photoshop, CS (1) runs as does CS2 and CS 3 on my macs. I still have CS2 as Genuine Fractals doesn't work with CS3 without upgrading and I don't feel like paying for that so I run 2 to use it for scaling. Adobe was pretty clear on compatibility or not and you could have chosen not to install it based on their comments.
You can install OSX "backwards" with the original install disk for your machine or a retail install disk - it would have to be a clean install of course not an A&I or upgrade.
I retained Tiger with a clone backup on all three macs , apparently you did not think to make a backup first.
Why don't you just partition a smallish part of the drive to accommodate a basic Tiger installation and install CS2 on that and just boot into it when required? You can repartition non destructively now. That is probably the fastest and simplest way to run dual OS rather that reverting everything to Tiger. Or use an external FW disk and install Tiger to that and boot from it as needed. No different than Boot Camp, to use Windows when needed.

Install Photoshop Extended Trial with Photoshop already installed.

I've got Photoshop CS5 installed and I want to try the Extended version. I've downloaded it and installed it, but the only Photoshop.exe file launches the standard version. Can I have the standard version installed at the same time as the Extended trial or do I have to delete the standard version first?

Did your installed copy of Photoshop not just revert to the trial mode, in which the Extended features are available, then?
If not, you may also need to run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool in addition to uninstalling.
Also, I'm not sure there's an upgrade path for you to be able to increase Photoshop from Standard to Extended if you've purchased it as part of a suite...

[Win]: Can't install ExtendScript ToolKit 2 - Problems with an already installed E'Script T'Kit 2?

Hi
I have problem to install ExtendScript ToolKit 2. I had installed ExtendScript ToolKit 2 and removed it with the Uninstaller. Now I want to reinstall it but it doesn't work. The setup says there is a conflict with the already installed ExtendScript ToolKit 2, but I have removed it.
What can I do?
I have searched in the registry about keys with the ExtendScript ToolKit 2 and removed it, but no success. I have searched in the file system for ExtendScript ToolKit 2 and removed all, no success.
How can I force the installation?
Thanks
Hans

I have just had exactly the same problem and I ended up telephoning Adobe support - officially free products such as the ExtendScript Toolkit 2 do not get telephone support.
The person I spoke to at Adobe suggested I run the CS3Clean utility, and that worked for me. See http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402767
BE SURE TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN FULL FIRST
In my case I only needed to run level 1 in the utility. Bit of a pain though to have to uninstall everything and re-install.

How can i decode Canon T4i raw with Elements 10?

It's not possible. T4i requires ACR 7.1 and that only comes with PSE 11, PS CS6 and LR4. You need to upgrade.

I am trying to install Creative Cloud on my laptop. I already installed it on my desktop just fine but I can't figure it out?

I am trying to install Creative Cloud on my laptop. I already installed Photoshop CC on my desktop just fine. I paid for photoshop and lightroom for two computers. Isn't that right?

Kathyrn Peters do you receive any specific error messages when you attempt to install the Creative Cloud Desktop application? Are you utilizing the process discussed in Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html to install the Adobe Creative applications?

HT3423 How do I find my original serial number if I bought my macbook with logic already installed?

I recently bought a new macbook. Previously I had been using my c.2008 macbook which I bought with Logic express installed. Since then I upgraded to Logic 9. I've restored my new macbook with my time machine. When I open logic it wants the serial number. I put in the upgrade number but it then asks for the original logic serial number. As I bought my mac with it already installed I don't know it. What can I do?

Apple does not pre-install Logic before delivery so either you purchased the laptop used from an individual or a store installed if for you. In either case, you should have received ALL the paperwork and install disks. The serial number for Express is in the paperwork. If you did not get that material, you were running a pirated copy.
If this does not describe your situation, you should call Apple Care and plead your case.

Can i buy a macbook pro with windows already on it

I'm looking to buy a Macbook Pro and I am also wanting windows on it. Can I buy it with it already installed ?

No you cant't however you can easily install it with bootcamp. Here is an easy guide READ THROUGH ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND BEFORE DOING ANYTHING: http://www.tuaw.com/2009/11/02/an-illustrated-guide-to-boot-camp-and-windows-7/
All you need is a usb (8GB), Windows 7 full copy (no upgrade) and about 1 hour of time

When downloading a pdf file I get a message that I must download Adobe Reader. When I do that I am told that it is already installed. Why can't I use it if it's already installed. I-Mac OsX 9.3

I was able to fix the problem with some help from Apple. Whenever I last downloaded Reader, I apparently didn’t complete the process by accepting the Reader contract. I was able to go right to that point in the process and complete the installation. The messages that I needed Reader but it was already installed were quite confusing. It would have been nice if the Adobe installation process that I was re-trying this morning had been able to detect a partial installation. The Troubleshooting page almost had me doing some ridiculous things that wouldn’t have helped.

Hello
1. I am running on Windows 8.1
2. When running the installer file from https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/reflow I get the following choice
I click "OK" which doesn't do anything for me (CC is off).
I turn CC on and run the installer again. I get the following window that within few settings disappears:
Then - just for half a second it says "Launching Creative Cloud desktop" and then it brings CC to front, and that's all.
RF still not there.
3. I spoke ta support agent on the Adobe chat on Friday. He looked into my computer for an hour. Uninstalled After Effects (after failing to update it). For some reason all apps disappeared from the list. They then reappeared after he opened PS.
This morning After Effects is still showing up in my system and is operational.
Weird.
4. At the end the agent suggested maybe Firewall is the problem here. Trying that out now.

I cannot install Acrobat 10 along with CS 6 - Install MSI payload failed with error: 1635

I tried to install CS6 (CS4 already on the computer) but installing Acrobat 10 failed with the message "Install MSI payload failed with error: 1635". When I tried to install Acrobat separately from the payload folder, the installer offered to uninstall Acrobat 9 first but refused to accept the serial number for the CS 6 suite. Should I uninstall Acrobat 9 first separately? And if so, where do I get a correct serial number for the Acrobat 10???

is cs6 installed?
if not, run the cleaner: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
and then try installing cs6.

I just installed the new CC apps. Since they get installed parallel to the old ones instead of upgrading, do I un-install the old ones with the un-install app in the old folder?

Easyebe,
Are you using a Mac machine or Windows PC?
If using a Mac machine, go to Application-->Utilities-->Adobe Installer-->old apps names and run the uninstaller for old apps.
If you are using Windows PC, go to Control panel-->>Program and Features and uninstall the old apps.
It will uninstall everything related to old apps, but your setting must be imporated to new version of apps.

When I plug in my IPOD Nano into a USB port, the computer recognizes it as a printer. It then attempts to install the printer software, which is already installed. The only way to fix it is to unplug the printer. Any thoughts?

Turn the printer off.

Loading CS2 from laptop with Windows XP to new laptop with Windows 7

Hello, I just purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 on it, and am wondering if I can install my CS2 software onto it. I had it on my old laptop which had Windows XP. I don't see
Windows 7 on my installation CDs as an OS I can use the software with. Not wanting to buy all new as I am a novice user, not a professional graphics person. Can I
load this version on my new laptop?
