'Configuration error: 6' appears when I attempt to open Photoshop on my new Macbook

I had photoshop CS5 installed on my previous Macbook which is now broken, however a friend of mine was able to copy it on to an external hard drive for me. I have now purchased a new Macbook, copied and installed Photoshop on to it from the external, however when I try to open it, 'Error: 6' appears, it states: 'Configuration error. Please uninstall and reinstall the product'.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail. How do I fix this problem? Thank you in advance.

Install Photoshop from scratch from the original medium, download or DVD.
Whether your friend "copied" Photoshop from your own broken Mac Book or from his machine (the latter would be completely illegal software piracy, by the way), that will NEVER work on your new machine.
First, the Photoshop installation places many auxiliary files outside the Photoshop folder all over the place. Copying misses a bunch of critical files.
Second, the activation of the installed copy of the activation is tied to the serial numbers on the CPU of the machine and is useless in any other machine.
I repeat: Install Photoshop from scratch from the original medium, download or DVD.

I have just transferred my entire application file from an Imac to an identical Imac, both running OS 10.9.5. Everything works fine, excepting that when I attempt to open Photoshop 6, I am prompted for the serial number. I enter the serial number provided by Adobe, which I have confirmed with my "previous purchase" records kept by Adobe. It is demanding a "qualifying product", all of which is contained in the complete files I transferred. Why can't Adobe recognise my valid serial number for Photoshop 6?

Say what?
Please use the proper installer.
Are you really talking about Photoshop 6 or about Photoshop CS6?

Internal Error message appears when I try to open Acrobat pro XI

I recently installed Acrobat pro XI on my MacBook Air running mavericks. It installs fine, but when I try to launch it I receive an 'Internal Error occurred' message. How do I resolve this?
I have uninstlled and reinstalled from my disk, and even downloaded and installed from the Adobe site. All versions install OK, but when I try to launch it I receive this very frustrating Internal error message... How do I resolve this?

When I attempt to open Photoshop CS5.5 I get an error message: "Could not initialize Photoshop because of program error", anyone seeing this?

After I upgraded to Mavaricks I get the above error message and Photoshop CS5.5 will not open.

It would be necessary that you have to use "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool". (see Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 )
The order varies depending on your individual needs:
1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
2. Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
3. Did you already try "uninstalling and re-installing"? Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
4. If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html or http://helpx.adobe.com/de/contact.html or
Det finns också ett svenskt språkiga chatt. http://helpx.adobe.com/se/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

Error code 148:3 on attempt to open Photoshop

I am getting error code 148:3 on start-up. (So I can't use my program. It sure was expensive enough.)
This has happened before, on the same computer, and an adobe supporter supplied a download which got me working again. But only temporarily, I guess, since now I am getting it again! Arrgh.
This is so not satisfactory. Please let's find a permanent solution to this.

When I attempt to open firefox an error message appears telling me that firefox is already running, but I can't find it running. How do I do so or in any case close the already running Firefox process?

When I attempt to open Firefox instead of Firefox opening, an error message appears saying "Firefox is already running but isn't responding. To open another window please close the existing Firefox process or restart the system.", but I can't find that process of Firefox in order to kill it, and after restarting the system there is still the problem. I have found an emergency fix to at least get online, and that is to use"Firefox_Profile_Manager" in the start menu's "run" start menu, but the
Firefox that then opens is that one doesn't carry over what I had in my bookmarks but starts bookmarks anew.

Sounds like it is hanging when you exit and later try to restart Firefox.

When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Is there any way to correct this problem?

When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website using Safari, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." When I save the same PDF file using FireFox it opens up immediately. Is there any way to correct this problem with Safari?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

"Internal Error Occurred" appears when .pdf is opened from Outlook 2010 email

"Internal Error Occurred" appears when .pdf is opened from Outlook 2010 email
I am absolutely pulling out my hair over this one!!
PC/Win 7 64bit/Adobe XI/Office 2010
I have tried Uninstalling and re-installing
I have tried using an adobe software removal tool
I have tried modifying the security settings in reader
I've tried running repair on MS Office
If you open the .pdf from an email directly, it opens Reader with the error "Internal Error Occurred"
If you drag and drop the .pdf onto the desktop, and then open it, it opens.
If you open Adobe Reader FIRST, then open the .pdf from the email, it opens fine.
ONLY when you open a .pdf from an email with Adobe Reader closed (so Outlook is asking AR to open first, and then present the .pdf) is it behaving this way.
Hypothesis: Outlook 2010 does not like to open Adobe Reader.
SO....tell me all of you brilliant geniuses? How do I solve this puzzle and become an end user's hero?
PS: WorkAround - the only work around I have found for this at present, is that the user first opens up Adobe Reader and lets it run in the background. I pinned the shortcut to his task bar to remind him.

I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and installed Adobe Reader XI and everything works fine. This will be our current fix until a solution is found for the above error
