Cannot Update any CS3 programs on Leopard??

I recently upgraded to leopard 10.5.6 and i reinstalled CS3 with no problems but i can't update them without the installer freezing. I sometimes even need to force the computer to shut down. Has anyone else come across this problem. it's incredibly annoying! Not sure if it's with my new iMac, Leopard or Adobe but would love an answer.
Thanks!

Help!
Hello there.
I did a search and found this thread on my problem, but haven't figured out a solution.
My problem is I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 (I purchased the discs rather than downloaded) which have served me fine on my desktop mac running OS 10.4.11.
I've just bought a MacBook Pro laptop running the latest Leopard OS and I simply can't install from my CS3 discs. My first attempt began to install, I think, then the mac forced a quit mid-installation. Now whichever discs I drop in (application or content) no installers start up.
I was wondering if I could try downloading CS3 from the net, and then enter my serial numbers from the new download. I don't want to upgrade to CS4, CS3 is plenty to be going on with.
Help, help, what should I do?
Thanks...
Devon

    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A for SL retail disks.
    Once SL is intalled from retail disks the combo installer should be found to update it to 10.6.8, which install App Store to download Lion.
    Is your computer Intel (required for SL)?  If intel is it Core2Duo (required for Lion)?

  • If I no longer have access to my original e-mail associated with my account and my passwords and e-mail accounts associated with my Apple device, how can I fix this solution? I have 2 ipads and 1 iphone and I cannot update any of my apps.

    I tried to change the e-mail associated with my apple account because my school was closing and I knew I would no longer have accss to that e-mail account, however now all 3 of my devices ( 2 ipads & 1 iphone are screwed up as far as the e-mail accounts associated with each device and the passwords. I have tried all the on-line support/suggestions and took my devices to a local Apple store and no one/nothing helps.
    Does anyone have a solution? I can purchase new apps but I cannot update any of the apps I have to any of my devices.

    Unfortunately, it says I can't delete anything without the missing password.

  • I did not authorize 2 in app purchases and because my credit card is at its limit, and i dont know how to reverse the in app purchases, i cannot update any app or do just about anything in the appstore or itunes store. I paid for apps, i demand my updates

    I did not authorize 2 in app purchases and because my credit card is at its limit, and i dont know how to reverse the in app purchases, i cannot update any app or do just about anything in the appstore or itunes store. I dont care if i owe apple's itunes appstore a few dollars over 2 in app purchases i never meant to download in fact the whole app itself i wanted to delete...but out of the hundreds (maybe lower thousands) fof dollars in music and apps and whatever else, that i rightfully purchased over the passed couple of years....should *NOT* have the upgrades and/or previous purchased songs withheld from me over $3 in accidently purchased add ons through an existing app i deleted an disliked anyway

    Same thing happened to me with my peruvian credit card in the peruvian app store, I want to buy an app, but it says that my credit card is "not supported in the Peruvian app store"

  • I had an unauthorized purchase on my old apple ID so I created a new one since the old one had been deactivated and now I cannot update any of my apps, I have read that the apps will be tied to the old account but I do not want to delete/lose their data

    I had an unauthorized purchase on my old apple ID so I created a new one since the old one had been deactivated and now I cannot update any of my apps, I have read that the apps will be tied to the old account but since the old one was deactivated I cant update them and I do not want to delete/lose their data, re download, and start all over again. Is there anyway to go around this issue?
    thanks

    Ask Apple to re-enable it. I had an unauthorized purchase last October. They disabled my account until the problem was solved. However, I asked them to reopen it, and they just asked me to provide some security information (billing address, a recent purchase you made, etc.), and then they re-enabled it.

  • Cannot update any system software

    I currently cannot update any system/apple software in any way.
    If I run Software Update from the apple menu/system prefs, it informs me that my software is up to date, even though this is clearly not the case.
    If I download the updates manually from Apple's website, they refuse to install. When I get to the Destination selection screen (i.e. "Select a Destination: <list of volumes>"), my startup disk is disabled! In the Installer log it says the following:
    === Starting check on volume /
    Requirement: requires "certain file content criteria" PASS for root=/, domain=0
    Requirement: requires "certain InstallationCheck criteria" PASS for root=/, domain=0
    Requirement: requires "certain VolumeCheck criteria" FAIL for root=/, domain=0
    === Starting check on volume /
    Requirement: requires "certain file content criteria" PASS for root=/, domain=0
    _volumeAppeared: volumeCheckTool disabled Ti (this is the startup volume's name)
    This first happened to me when I tried installing the QT 7.1 and Security Update 2006-003 updates back in May. It's still happening now with iTunes 6.0.5 and QT 7.1.2. The last thing I installed through SU was Security Update 2006-002 back in March.
    Any ideas? This really, really *****.

    hm, you used to be able to edit your own posts. not anymore i guess.
    the thing i want to add is that i have repaired both my permissions and the disk itself on the startup volume, to no avail. neither console.log nor system.log say anything when Installer fails on its volume checks.

  • TS1702 i cannot update any of my apps and my password is correct

    can anyone please advise, i cannot update any of my apps 6 updates waiting to download, my apple i.d is correct

    By 'other things' you mean ?
    Have you logged out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logged back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it ?
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • My ipad was logged into a fake (typoed) account, and now I cannot update any apps.  Help?

    My apple ID is:  [email protected]
    For whatever reason, very clearly a simple typo, it logged me into '[email protected]'.  I don't know how, I don't know why.  I do not have a password for that account, to my knowledge that account does not exist.  However, now *all* of my apps, especially those I have bought (and can prove to have bought) with my real account, ie, [email protected], are listed as [email protected]  I cannot update any apps, as they say they are linked to another account.  I bought them with this account, the other account doesn't even exist.  What do I do?

    Yes.  I have also wiped and restored the ipad.  I have also tried updating the apps via itunes on my mac.  It always says the account is [email protected]  It isn't.  I have proof I bought it with [email protected]  I have credit card receipts, apple receipts, et cetera.  The account has always been, and will always be @gmail.com.

  • I cannot update any apps

    I have an iPhone 4s that runs with a version of 8.1.3 ios, and no matter what I do I cannot update any of my apps that need to be updated. I have tried updating using my wireless, connected to my computer, and nothing works at all. I don't want to delete any of the apps and then reinstall the if I don't have to, so any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks

  • I cannot download a new version of Mozilla (but also not from Explorer or Google Chrome). I downloaded the software several times already, but still I cannot update any program. Can you help me out please?

    I am using an older version of Mozilla (i cannot see which version), but somehow this version is so old that I cannot use Hotmail or Internetbanking properly anymore. Therefor I wanted to update my Mozilla-program, but unfortunately this isn't possible. I downloaded your new version Firefox Setup 7.0.1.exe and I see this in the file 'downloads'.
    If I want to click it, it says '“Firefox Setup 7.0.1(4).exe” is een uitvoerbaar bestand. Uitvoerbare bestanden kunnen virussen of andere code bevatten die uw computer kan beschadigen. Wees voorzichtig met het openen van dit bestand. Weet u zeker dat u “Firefox Setup 7.0.1(4).exe” wilt starten?'
    Then I click 'Oke'....to tell the system I want to start the program. Then I get another pop-up: 'securitywarning......'
    Then I click on ' continue' and I have to choose a program to open this program. I can choose from iexplore.exe or firefox.exe.
    If I choose for firefox.exe.....nothing happens.
    Quit strange. I am quit well with computers, but this is really strange to me.
    Hopefully you can help me?
    Best regrads,

    I finally figured out what was wrong.  Since I had installed Google Chrome recently it already had the Adobe Flash Player imbedded in it. 
    When I uninstalled the flash player in Control Panel option the problem went away.
