Cannot install paid versions of Photoshop CS2 or CS3 on OSX 10.8.5

Over the past 10 years or more, I have purchased Adobe Photoshop several times - including CS2 & CS3.  I purchased a new MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.5 and am not able to install any of them.

Photoshop CS2 requires an older PowerPC based Mac. It will not install or run on new Intel-based Macs, regardless of operating system.
Photoshop CS3 is supported on Intel-based Macs but only on OSX 10.4.8 - 10.5 (Leopard).
If your Photoshop CS3 is a standalone version (not part of a Suite) then you are eligible to sign up for the new Photoshop Photography Program at $9.99/month

  • Lost Serialized Insert from PC Ultimate Software Suite-Cannot Install Full Version of Photoshop Elements 12

    I purchased a Dell Inspiron laptop which was bundled with PC Ultimate Software Suite, a collection of programs on one disc. It included Adobe Photoshop Elements 12, but I misplaced the insert that contained the serial key. I still have the sleeve that the CD was bundled with, as well as the CD itself. Is there anyway I can still download the full version of Photoshop Elements 12 without having to buy the program separately or buying Software Suite again?

    If Dell provided the bundle you should contact Dell to see about getting a replacement or the serial for the disk.

  • Cannot install full version of Photoshop CC on second computer

    I purchased Photoshop and Lightroom CC and installed them on my MacBook Pro. It was my understanding that I'm allowed to activate my products on up to 2 machines. I downloaded Creative Cloud on my Windows 8 desktop and installed Photoshop and Lightroom, but both are installed as trial versions and asking for a serial number even though the Help menu shows me signed in with the account that I used to purchase my CC subscription. How do I activate the full, non-trial version on my second machine?

  • I have an old version of Photoshop CS2 which I purchased in discs and want to install on my new computer but don't have the  discs can I copy it from my old laptop?

    Is there anyway to install my old version of Photoshop CS2 onto my new mac without the discs?

    Adobe took down their old Activation servers so you can not activate installing CS2 from your CD.  Adobe made available a new download of CS2 that uses their new Activation servers for activation their old CS2 customers can download and install.

    How/where do I change the default for File>Open With>Photoshop?  i haven't had Photoshop CS2 installed since the first CC 2014 version, and it was working fine until this last update last month.

    The workaround for this problem is to revert to IE9 or earlier, install your old PSE, then reinstall the latest IE version.

    I cannot install an update on Photoshop 11 because it says I have programs running that must be closed.  I have no programs running and I have restarted my computer twice and am unable to install this update.  Also, I need the update because the tutorial for 11 shows a completely different screen than I have on my version of 11.  Please advise.

    Garbage which operating system are you using?  Have you tried using the Task Manager/Activity Monitor to close the offending application/process?

  • Cannot install flash version 10.1.0 onto a mac 10.4.11

    Hello,
    I cannot install flash version 10.1.0 onto a mac 10.4.11 and therefore cannot use YouTube or the BBCIplayer. Is there a compatability problem?

    I am in the same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube for example) are fine.
    For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
    You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
    But there is a workaround!
    Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
    Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
    Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
    Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
    I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.

  • Where can I download a French version of Photoshop CS2?

    Bonjour,
    je souhaiterais trouver la version française de photoshop cs2
    Hello,
    I would find the French version of photoshop cs2
    Message title was edited by: Brett N

    Effective December 13, Adobe disabled the activation server for CS2 products and Acrobat 7 because of a technical glitch. These products were released over 7 years ago and do not run on many modern operating systems. But to ensure that any customers activating those old versions can continue to use their software, we issued a serial number directly to those customers.  While this might be interpreted as Adobe giving away software for free, we did it to help our customers.
