Can't install CS3 from discs on my iMac

With the "application" disc in the computer, it will start running the install. Then it stops, spits out the CD and asks for the Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2 disc. Where is that? Be nice if the discs were labeled plainly!
I went online, found that application, downloaded it, burned a disc and tried installing again.
Once again, it stops and asks for the Toolkit, but when I put in my burned disc it tells me that I can't install two things at the same time.
I'm going quite nuts. I need to be able to run the programs that I PAID FOR but CAN'T INSTALL. Help me please!!!!

don't burn a disk. just install from the installation files like they were designed to be used.

Can't install CS5 from disc

I can't install Photoshop CS5 because the installation asks me to insert CS5 disc but it alreay is inserted. This is after entering the serial number and signing in.

you can click or double click the setup file.
or if you follow all 7 steps, you can download a trial via one of the links on this page using a browser that accepts cookies: http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a download problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps. typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem, but your browser must also allow cookies so that's (a restrictive browser setting) another potential source of problems.

After upgrading to Mavericks, can't install programs from discs

I am unable to install photoshop elements 12. I've upgraded to Mavericks, and this is the first disc I've tried to install. The dvd drive does read regular dvds, but spins, then ejects the install disc. I've reset the PRAM and puffed air in the drive slot. The disc is just out of the box, no scratches. I tried to install Premier Elements too, but same spin, then ejection. Do I need to change some setting somewhere or has the dvd drive developed an issue.

You can start by doing some basic resets such as a iMac SMC and PRAM reset, you may need to do the SMC reset 2-3 times. Also you can restart in Safe Mode to clear some caches. If you continue to have problems post back and there are other things to try such as cleaning the SuperDrive or using an external DVD drive.

I have a white Macbook 2009 on OSX Lion. It came with the OSX Snow Leopard CD, I erased the HDD and am trying to install the OSX from disc but am getting "cannot install OSX from disc" message. What can I do?

I have a white Macbook 2009 on OSX Lion. It came with the OSX Snow Leopard CD, I erased the HDD and am trying to install the OSX from disc but am getting "cannot install OSX from disc" message. What can I do?
I got the macbook from a friend a few years ago and it already had OSX Lion installed. Whenever it boots from the Snow Leopard disc it says it cannot install from disc. Is there anythingI can do or should I take it to an Apple store to get them to boot OSX Lion for me?

Insert your Snow Leopard disc and restart, press and hold the C key as soon as you hearthe startup chime, hold C until you see the Apple Logo. When your computer starts up you'll be at the first install screen, choose your language and click the arrow to go to the next screen. This screen has a menu bar, from the Utilities menu select Disk Utility, select your hard drive, this is the one with the manufacturers name or numbers, click the partition tab and then delete any existing partitions by selecting them and clicking the minus. In the drop down box select one partition and click apply. Name your hard drive and click erase. When it's done quit DU and go back to the installer, install Snow Leopard. When the installer is done and the computer is back up and running run Software Update to get to 10.6.8

Can you install leopard from an external usb disc drive?

I don't know if the disc drive is fast enough for leopard or something. It's taking forever to open the installer, and when I restarted into the installer it just booted back to my desktop. I have an external disc drive I want to try. Can you install leopard from and external disc drive?

****, I just tried it and when I restarted it didn't go into the installer. I think my disc drive in my old mac mini might be too slow. It takes forever to recognize the disc and just to double click on it and it up. And when I tried to install it the first time from the internal drive it just booted right into my desktop again.

Installing CS3 from portable drive?

Hello All,
I would like to install CS3 from a portable drive, avoiding hanging around and doing the multiple disc swaps - could any one point me in the right direction?
i have been charged with the task of maintaining 40+ Macs of various specs for a graphics department. I need to deploy CS3 to machines all over the building, many of them not networked. The install understandably takes a little while and requires me flitting between machines swapping the discs round a lot. It would be grand if I could have the install on a USB/FW drive, plug in and toddle off on other jobs while it works it's magic. Is this possible and where might I look for more info?
Help much appreciated.

Hello Neil.
Is there a way to do it (from the external hard drive) ?
I believe the answer is no.
You can use Apple's Media Exchange Program to exchange the DVD media for CD media, purchase or access an external DVD drive that is capable of booting the computer from the Tiger install disc or if your Mac has a Firwire port (which I'm sure it does) and it supports Firewire Targer Disk mode and you have access to another Mac that supports the same with a DVD drive, you can connect both Macs via Firewire Target Disk mode and install Tiger from the Mac with the DVD drive on your Mac.

Installing iWork (from disc) to new Mini

I'm trying to install iWork '06 from disc on to my new Mac Mini. I'm using my old iMac as a shared DVD drive, and the Mini can see it, and can see the iWork disc, but when I click on the disc, I get and error that says, "The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “iWork ’06” can’t be found."
What's the workaround here? I installed Logic from discs in this way, so I know the process works. How do I the iWorks to install?
(If Apple would simply let us transfer our retail licenses to the App store, life would be easy. But no...)

iWork '06 will update fine straightaway to '09 once it is installed. I just need to get it installed. Anybody have any useful information or tips?
Time has value. You will likely expend $60 of your personal time trying to arm wrestle with iWork '06, when you could have invested that sum in newly purchased Pages, Numbers, and Keynote from the App Store. And, for a fraction of the time investment.

Can i install CS3 Indesign and Photoshop on mac OSX10.8.4?

Can i install CS3 Indesign and Photoshop on mac OSX10.8.4? Or do I have to update and can I purchase updates from Adobe? If I can, how much are they?

Yes, should be no problem.
According to the box that came with my copy of CS3 the requirements are "PowerPC G4 or G5 or multicore Intel processor, Mac OSX 10.4.8 or above.
I loaded it onto my new Mac running Mountain Lion with no problems at all and it runs perfectly. InDesign used to crash occasionally under Tiger but has never crashed under Mountain Lion.

Can't installing facebook from iPod Touch and Itunes 9.1.1 from windows 7

Hi all,
I've found the solution in another thread: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11296350#11296350
It's oviously a problem of iTunes 9.1, which does not seem to fin the syncserver. exe or some of its dependent files.
User icefoxxxx showed me how to solve the problem. Anyway, Apple has to fix this, many people will have the problem:

you won't believe how I fixed it... my syncserver.exe can't run because some dll is missing, but I notice the dll is in another folder "Apple Application Support". So I copied all files in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
over to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
and it solves everything!
Obviously there is something wrong in registering the former folder by the new itunes installation program. Hope next version fixes it.

Can I install ios5 from a computer other than my primary computer?

I have downloaded the Lion update in the office and would like to install ios5 on my iphone and ipad before going home, which is where my "primary" computer is, i.e., the one I use to sync. Can I install ios5 from any computer or does it have to be the one I have always used for syncing?

You can but if your office computer does not have your backups and iTunes Library from your home computer then the device contents will be wiped. I'd wait until you got home.
