    Thanks for your reply. I was able to find help through a tech support chat session and the person helped me edit my /etc/hosts file and it solved the problem.
    For anyone else experiencing this issue (Mac OS X):
    Close all other programs and sign out from the Adobe Desktop App
    From the Finder, Go > Go to Folder...
    Type /etc and hit enter
    Find "hosts" file (only "hosts", there were similar files such as hosts.config but only open the one that says "hosts"
    Open the file, and replace the entire content with ### Host Database## localhost is used to configure the loopback interface#
    Close the file, sign back into the Adobe Desktop App
    Problem solved!

  • Creative Suite 3 Unistall Issue with Illustrator

    I recently uninstalled CS3 from laptop as I no longer require it on this machine as I have changed jobs, this left me with a separate version of Illustrator CS on my list of programs. When I try to uninstall Illustrator I get an error message
    "Illustrator CS has been installed as part of the Adobe Creative Suite and can only be updated by using Creative Suite installer.
    To use this stand alone Setup program instead, you must first uninstall Illustrator CS"
    I am trying to uninstall Illustrator CS when this message appears so don't understand why.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium.
    The steps I took were go to Control Panel-Uninstall Programs. I uninstalled Adobe Creative Suite 3 which deleted fine, I also had a separate program for illustrator.
    When I select that program and uninstall an InstallShield Wizard comes up, starts to run then errors saying
    "Illustrator CS has been installed as part of the Adobe Creative Suite and can only be updated by using Creative Suite installer.
    To use this stand alone Setup program instead, you must first uninstall Illustrator CS"
    Uninstalling CS is what I'm trying to do

  • Did Creative Suite 2 bundle include Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign CS4?

    Hi, I am trying to price Creative Cloud into my monthly budget and thought I could get the $29.99 deal since I have Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign CS4, which came out in 2008. But when I log in after registering within the products the only product that comes up in my account is CS2, purchased in 2006. Have I missed something? I know sometimes the naming conventions can confuse me, and that the CS2 bundle could have included the CS4 editions, but I still think the dates are wrong. Thanks.

    If your account does not show your CS4 serial numbers https://www.adobe.com/account.html there are 2 possibilities
    1 - you never registered the programs by activating online (I think it was possible to use the programs and click NO when asked to activate/register those old versions)
    or
    2 - you used a different email address and Adobe ID (this actually happens fairly often... and people forget that they have used multiple identities)
    No... CS2 and CS4 were completely different products, with different serial numbers

  • Creative Suite CS5.5 applications will no longer initialise

    I have been using Adobe Creative Suite (Design Standard) CS5.5 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard via monthly subscription since last August with no problems. On Saturday I was working on a project using InDesign and PhotoShop, then on Sunday morning I tried to start work again but found that non of the Creative Suite applications (InDesign, PhotoShop and Illustrator) will launch. All freeze soon after the "Initialising" splash screen appears. These screens (together with the watch time symbol) remain like that until I force quit them.  Bridge and Acrobat still work, as do all other applications.   I have no idea how to solve this problem and can't understand what has caused it.
    Adobe Support have been completely unhelpful and have left me completely in the lurch.
    If anybody can offer any advice, I would be extremely grateful!  I have a big deadline coming up so urgently need to fix this!

  • Acrobat Pro doesn't recognize CS4 Creative Suite serial #

    I've installed the CS4 creative suite and now acrobat doesn't recognize the serial #. All other apps are fine and working properly. Also running 10.4.11 OS. Any suggestions would be great, so thanks in advance.
    Tim

    If you replace Acrobat with the one from creative suites you'll have to use that serial number.  you'll have topen a Creative suite item first then try to open Acrobat.
    what you should have done if you had Acrobat already installed, was done a custom install of Creative Suites and installed everything except your previously installed Acrobat.
    To fix it you''ll have to remove acrobat completely. Then you have to put the CS Disk back in. and reinstall Acrobat only . Then it should recognize CS serial Number.

I have done this and it's still not working                  

    anomaly jade,
    You only need to use the serial number during installation.
    Have you, at least seemingly, been able to install, and then you are unable to start up?
    If that is the case, you could try to reinstall using the full three step way:
    Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

  • Creative Suite Design standard version is no longer loading plug-ins, fonts, etc., Crashing with every use..How do I reload my software ? I have the Design CS4 package.

    Creative Suite Design standard version is no longer loading plug-ins, fonts, etc., Crashing with every use..How do I reload my software ? I have the Design CS4 package.

    Thank you Jeff. Great questions.
    I was opening Illustrator in CS4 design standard. Odd too, because the error comes up with it showing missing plugins from Photoshop. I opened Photoshop first, then Illustrator to see if it changed anything. Yes, One of the two error messages for a plugin was gone.  
    To remove apps I went to the Adobe website to redownload my standard CS4 and chose "uninstall".. So I did. Restarts x 2 . Then Reopening illustrator...same thing again. Restarted, then went to Disky Utlity and cleaned up something off of it as per a internet suggestion...Sorry, it's been a long day alreay. Not me removing anything, just allowing it to do that with repairing.
    The version of Mac OS is YOSEMITE 10.10.2 .
    I recently updated!!! oooh nooooo! (every watch Mr. Bill on SNL?) so if the updated OS is the culprit, do I have to go back to older version for my apps to work?   I never realized how very much I use Illustrator. I know there are extensions I could go through one at a time....seriously I am overwhelmed with some life events that make this computer dilema  almost too much of a challenge for me at this time..I am truly grateful for your help. Thank you Jeff.

  • Creative Suite won't install Illustrator

    I had a registered copy of Illustrator CS4 on my Mac and deactivated and then uninstalled it because I wanted to install Creative Suite CS4. When I uninstalled Illustrator I specified that preference files and the serial number should go away. I assume that Creative Suite would install a new version of Illustrator and that the serial number of Illustrator would be that of Creative Suite.
    I also had InDesign CS3 on my Mac and also deactivated and uninstalled it.
    So when I tried installing Creative Suite CS4 Design Premium, the installer dialog showed all apps it would install but Illustrator was grayed out. I went ahead and installed the Suite. Installation required that I register it with the Suite's serial number. When installed, I dug out my old Illustrator CS4 disk and installed that. To my surprise, it did not ask for a serial number. When Illustrator came up the initial dialog box listed all of my recent files--telling me that my previous uninstall was not complete.
    My preference is to uninstall and not use the standalone version of Illustrator CS4. I want all software to come from the Suite and share its registration serial number.
    My questions are, how can I totally delete it off my system and force the Suite installer to install its copy of Illustrator? And do I even need to worry about this as maybe the Suite has overtaken the standalone Illustrator and given it the Suite's serial number. (I can try to uninstall Illustrator again but despite being loaded as a standalone copy, I get a dialog about uninstalling the whole Suite.)
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks, guys. Yes, the problem was an incomplete uninstallation. Although I used the application's deactivate and uninstall, the Utilities > Adobe > Installers folder still had uninstallers available that cleaned up everything, including sending the app folder to the trash. I had manually trashed the app folders previously.
    When I ran the Cleanup app, it didn't find anything for CS4. After restarting, I began installing Creative Suite and there was Illustrator CS4, available for installation. FInally!!!
    Thanks again!

  • Flash won't load from creative suite..

    I downloaded a trial of Flash from the Adobe site 5 months
    ago. I recently purchased Creative Suite 3 w/ Flash included.
    Every program from my newly purchased CS3 disks load up and
    activate except for Flash. When I tried to reinstall from the
    disk it tells me that Flash is already installed, but when I look
    in the application folder it's no where to be found. I trashed the
    old expired trial version and tried to reload - still no success??
    Any suggestions...?

    look for links for player installation troubleshooting.
    Also make sure that anti spy ware / ad ware and other that
    type
    of tools are not set to block flash content.
    Some of these tools do that by default

  • Adobe Creative Suite Design CS6 - PhotoShop, InDesign and Illustrator immediately shuts down after startup

    I'm troubleshooting for a customer who have Adobe Creative Suite Design CS6.
    His programs suddenly wont start, they launches and starts to read plug-ins and open up a workspace, but then without warning/error it shuts down. no log, error message or anything...
    It's the same for PhotoShop, InDesign and Illustrator both in 32 bit and 64.
    He is running the suit on a Hp EliteBook 8560p with Windows 7 Pro x64 sp1.
    He also have had a Wacom Bamboo CTE 650 penpad installed before.
    This is what I've done so far:
    * Uninstall the whole suit and reinstalled it again (Done this 3-4 times, manually deleted regestry-files, used CClean and other cleaning tools)
    * Deleted the wacom-drivers with controlpanel tool, Windows driver Clean tool, CClean and manually deleted registry-keys and files.
    * Uninstall Anti-Virus software and replaced it with another, inactivated AV and Windows Firewall.
    * Deleted register-files for the suits and "reregister" them again.
    * Full patch both for windows and adobe softwares.
    * Reboot between each step
    Any suggestions?
    I have to add that adobe support for this $2000 software really sucks...
    Thanks!

    Problem solved!
    I went through all the folders associated with adobe cs6 and renamed them (one by one) so they would be recreated.
    I did this before but seems like I missed this specific one.
    Anyway, when I renamed the folder "SLCache" in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\ and then ran the applications one by one as administrator I was prompted to enter a serial-key again and log in to my Adobe-ID.

  • Adobe Creative Suite Premium All Re-install Except PhotoShop

    I have been using Creative Suite Premium for over 4 years.  It was working fine until several days ago when Photoshop locked up.  After closing it, I have was not able to get Photoshop to run.  I have tried to uninstall and re-install the entire suite several times.  All of the programs in CS installed fine and I can open them and work in them, EXCEPT PhotoShop.  PhotoShop is the main program I use.  When I tried to install just PhotoShop, I got an error message that the serial number is invalid.  I re-checked and re-entered the serial number several times, but always got the same error message.  I don't understand whay happened in the first place and why the problem is only with PhotoShop. 
    I use PhotoShop on a daily basis with my job, so I need it to be up and running.  I am also on a limited income and budget and cannot afford to buy their expensive upgrades, nor should I have to since the program has been working fine all this time. 
    I tried the Tech suppport chat and after a lengthy wait and discussion, was told that Tech Support does support CS.  I know Adobe is trying to force me to spend hudnreds of dollars to upgrade, but if I am forced to buy new software, it won't be from Adobe.
    Does anyone out there know of a solution to fix this?  Thanks.

    Before uninstall/reinstalling any software always try to fix the preference file first. Reason is, if the file is corrupted, reinstalling the app will not fix it, as it assumes that you want to keep your prefered settings, hence preference file.
    Most apps will recreate the file if it can not find it, but to be safe, moving the file to another location, will allow you to put it back if it does not recreate the file.
