Cannot Run OR update Photoshop CS3 on MacBook 10.6.2

My previous computer was running Tiger. Its motherboard died and I had to get a new computer. I'm now on a MacBook Pro 5,3, Intel Core 2 Duo, Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz, Memory: 4 GB.
When I first noticed an issue running Photoshop CS3 on this new computer, I reinstalled the program from the CD. I still had issues -- it won't stay 'open', or I can't open files, work with them and save them.
The Version Cue 3.1 updater ran this morning and wouldn't intall the update. Error message:: "The update cannot be applied to the product. Please re-install the product and try again. I'm not sure what else to do since re-installing Photoshop CS3 from the CD didn't help, and I don't have access to the computer I had it running on previously.
Anyone have any suggestions? Fixes?
Thank you!
Mary

It almost sounds like a Rosetta problem, but Snow Leopard starts Rosetta automatically for apps that need it, and if it isn't installed, it prompts you to download it the first time it needs it.
I'd say beyond uninstalling, get rid of all the preference and application support files from both your user library and the Mac HD library, THEN reinstall it.
A lot of times bad preferences remain behind and affect the reinstalled software just the way they did when it first went bad.

Please help!!! Cannot run Windows Update in Win 7 Pro after changing new hard-drive. (X201s)

Hi everyone,
I have been using my thinkpad x201s for more than one year by now. And recently I change a new and larger hard drive for my laptop. When I tried the thinkpad rescue and recovery disc on the new hard drive, everything works fine except that I cannot run Windows Updates after the installation was finished. The recovery DVDs were burned directly from the original image stored in the computer when the first I received my laptop last year.
Every time when I try to run the Windows Update, it shows the following: "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running, you may need to restart your computer."
I restarted my computer later but nothing changed. Can't run Windows Updates and can't even install IE9.
I then moved back to my old hard drive and everything is normal, no problem with Windows Updates. I also tried to create a back-up image by running win 7 Backups and Restore. Later when I changed back to the new drive and followed the instructions to restore my system from the image I created earlier in a USB drive, it worked except that still the system can't run Windows Updates program.
I'm now getting very confused and upset, is it something to do with the software copyright? It's been a week now and I tried to Google the similar problem but no solutions work here. All I want to do is moving my current system to the new hard drive so that I can continue to use my laptop but it just failed updating every time.
Could anyone kindly tell me what to do when changing hard drive in order to avoid the problem I'm dealing with? Sorry I'm not a pro type user and just want my laptop to work appropriately.
My warranty has already expired so I guess the Lenovo Technical Hotline wouldn't answer my questions anymore. Please help!! Much appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance!!

I'm not sure this is the issue, but from your description, it seems as though all you have to do is activate the windows update service. If I were you, I'd search for "Services" in the start menu, open it and look for "Windows Update". Check in its properties that it is set to "Automatic (Delayed)", if it isn't, set it, and start the service, you should then be able to check for updates, be careful though that none of your other programs aren't stopping the service, usually these programs are there to "optimize your performance" or "boost your system",...
Hope this helps.

Trouble updating Photoshop CS3 & Elements 6

I am running Windows XP. I have Photoshop Elements 6 and Photoshop CS3 newly installed. When I try to run, from either program, "Help, Updates..." everything seems to be okay at first but before the update installation is complete I get a window titled "Installation Incomplete" and the instructions in the window direct me to "shutdown the following application: PhotoshopElementsFileAgent.exe" When I go to TaskManager I can't find that program listed in either the Processes tab or Applications tab.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Never mind, I did some more searching and found the info I need. Thanks!!

Thank you, Barb, for trying to give me the procedure for a fix. But, this one is not it. That link does not apply to Error Code: U44M1I210. It is a different error code. In the hopes that the one you refered to might also fix my problem, I followed the directions and found that the properties of the InstallLocation were already correct.
So, I'm still looking for a fix. BTW, I am running Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit, on an HP quad-core desktop. My HP laptop updated just fine--both Photoshop and Premier Elements, which leads me to think it is something with this machine. A search on Adobe Community for Error Code: U44M1I210 turned up nothing relevant.

Replaced NIC and cannot run Windows update

Greetings - I disabled the onboard NIC and installed a Intel Gigabit CT PCI-E Network Adapter EXPI9301CTBLK. On reboot, Win7 found the NIC and everything appeared to function normally.
However, when I try to run Windows Update or update Windows Defender, which worked the previous day, I get the error code: 0x80248007.
I updated the NIC driver to Driver_Version: Driver ver 12.7.27.0 date: 5/15/2013 - No help.
I ran the fixit tool from - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958046/en-us - No help.
I renamed the folder SoftwareDistribution/Download folder to Download.old - No help.
I asked Intel Support if they were aware of this - They suggested contacting Microsoft.
OS: Win7 Pro 64bit
I suspect the NIC is causing the the problem obviously and hate to remove the NIC. Anyone have a suggestion on how to resolve this?
Thank you

Hi,
According to the error code, this problem occurs when some files in the Windows Update are missing, or when the Microsoft Software License Terms cannot be located by Windows Update.
Microsoft already provide a fixit tool to fix this problem and you can refer to the link below to download and intall it to fix this problem for test.

Looking for laptop - running Win version of CS3 on Macbook Pro?

I've been wanting to finally get a laptop for a long time now, and my first choice has always been a Macbook Pro. My main computer now is a self-built PC, and I do all my video work within CS3; my production company also runs CS3, so it made sense to mirror it at home. Anyway, my original thinking was to get a Macbook Pro so that I could have the option to edit with Final Cut Pro again, which would be nice because I see so much freelance work/job postings where the client/company is using FCP. Plus, out of all the laptops I've messed around with in the past, Macbooks always seem to work the best/fastest; and I just like them better overall.
However, the idea of getting a laptop that isn't compatible with my current personal/professional workflow doesn't seem like such a good idea now. I have plans to travel to Japan for an extended period of time too, and I want to be able to work remotely, which means having access to a PC machine running CS3. Because of this, I started looking into PC laptops again... but I'm just not impressed with what I see. So I read about the possibility of running Bootcamp on a MBP, thus allowing me to run my PC version of CS3. Theoretically I could then still work on all of my PC formatted projects and then switch back into OS X for "normal laptop computing" (as well as starting new projects with FCP).
Since I have no personal experience doing something like this though, I was wondering if anyone runs a setup like this and if so, how well does CS3/4/5 run via Bootcamp on a Macbook Pro? I've been reading on here how CS5's Mercury engine doesn't/can't work because the hardware won't support it, but does the overall editing experience suck?
Just for reference, currently all my job-related work is simple DV NTSC... so I'm sure any laptop I buy would be able to handle that. However our company is planning to upgrade to HD in the near future, and I personally work with XDCAM EX footage via my Sony EX1r. So I want a laptop that can handle HD projects without choking to death. Also, an Express Card slot would be pretty awesome, too, that way I can dump my SxS cards without having to dock the camera (a 17" MBP would offer this).
Any suggestions/help would be most appreciated, thanks!

Have a look here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/771180?tstart=0
The final solution found in this thread, including all the specs, is way more attractive than any MBP. It gives no compatibility issues, allows upgrading to CS5 without issues, is fast enough for AVCHD and XDCAM-EX material, is easy to connect to your home PC, avoids possible problems with effects/transitions missing on the MAC, gives you much more bang-for-the-buck than any MBP.
Additionally, it saves you an extra license for PR MAC.

"Some Updates Failed to Install" when trying to update PhotoShop CS5 on MacBook Pro Retina laptop

Is there a way to make the update install?

Cannot install Battery Updater 1.2 on MacBook

When I download Battery Updater 1.2 and try to open it, Disk Utilities opens and asks me to save: BatteryUpdate2007001.pkg When I hit "Save" it says I can't save it unless I change the file extension to .dmg. Then it saves the file with .pkg extentioin. When I try to open this file the whole process starts over again.
When I try to open the file with DiskImageMounter I get the same results.
Any idea how to get off this merry go round and actually install the updater?

Hey, you've found one of the 200+ improvements to Tiger! j'k
Problem is, it's not supposed to open in Disk Utility... we could straigten that out, (probably should), but in DU highlight it and look for the Mount button, then go to finder, look in the sidebar for it, click on it, double click on the pkg.
I the finder Right click on it, choose Get Info, look for open with, it should say Disk Image Mounter, but says now DU I bet.

Problems with editing images from Lightroom to Photoshop CS3

I just installed Lightroom onto my new MacBook Pro and just installed a new version of Photoshop CS3. When I hit the "Edit image in Photoshop CS3" button in Lightroom it won't open Photoshop and therefore won't let me edit the image in CS3. Does anyone know what might be wrong? Any info would be helpful.

I'm running Lightroom and Photoshop CS3. "Edit image in Photoshop CS3" works fine for me. I'm on an iMac and had Lightroom installed first, only thing I noticed is it takes PS a little longer to open up.

Photoshop CS3 editing does not work in LR 2.0

Just upgraded to LR 2.0 and did the data base conversion everything works just fine. Btw, I did keep the LR 1.4 installed because I wanted to make sure I have a fallback in case I have a problem with LR 2.0.
I do however have a problem. I cannot edit images in Photoshop CS3. If I select any of the Edit in Photoshop CS3 menu options, CS3 fires up but no image is displayed in Photoshop. I did upgrade CS3 with the latest upgrades available from Adobe. I have no problems editing in CS3 under LR 1.4.
Any suggestion what may cause this?

Mea culpa - I was eyeballing the forum but the word "export" did not ring a bell for the problem I am facing. Thanks for pointing me to the thread covering the problem.

Can I install Pixel Bender on Photoshop CS3?

I am running 64 bit photoshop CS3 on Windows 7. I wanted to know if there is any way to install pixel bender on photoshop CS3.
Thanks.

No, pixel bender only works in photoshop cs4 and photoshop cs5.

My controls in Photoshop CS3 have started going wonky.

Some require a double-click now, some hotkeys have to be hit twice, and others simply do not work. Worst of all, this also applies to menu selection - expand selection, for example, simply does not work at all.
I have not installed anything new recently, but may have hit the wrong thing on the keyboard by accident (a cat decided to tap dance her way from one side of the desk to the other).
Help? Adobe seems to have abandoned any way to contact them by phone.

First you need to at least update photoshop cs3 to 10.0.1 and any other cs3 updates you might need from here:
Adobe - Creative Suite : For Windows
Then i would reset the photoshop cs3 preferences.
reset preferences
Press and hold down the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after starting the launch of photoshop cs3
Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop settings file
Press Yes

After reinstalling CS3 I cannot get bridge (or photoshop) to update

I had to reinstall CS3 due to some graphics issues. I've restarted the computer and bridge/ps several times...and keep hitting the update button but after updateing adobe reader..it doesn't find anymore updates. So I still have 4.0 and cannot read canon 50D raw files as well as many more issues.
I'm running 10.5.5 2,0 dual core PC chip with 5 gig ram.

The Adobe Updater does seem to work in CS4 however.
A new Updater has been posted and there are a bunch of small updates for the Suite listed for downloading and installing and it would be a pain to do all of them manually.
If you have library/application Support/Adobe open while the installation is happening, you will see just how many files are being uninstalled and replaced by this operation!
I have just run the Updater (via Photoshop CS4's Help Menu) and it went flawlessly.
