CS2 and CS4 on same computer?

Hello! I hope this has not already been asked and answered but I did honestly try to find an answer and failed. Anyway:
Mac with CS2 currently installed.
QUESTION: If I buy the CS4 upgrade, can I install it and have both CS2 AND CS4 running on the same computer? Not necessarily simultaneously...just be able to launch one or the other.
If yes, where might instructions for such an installation be?
Thanks a bunch.
PS. I tried downloading a trial version of CS4 from Adobe website and could not get their "special" downloader to work. Tried Safari and Firefox. Is there some special trick?

It is too easy.
I can't make myself get rid of ID2 and IDCS, though I no longer use them (or IDCS2) for production.

I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer. I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4. They are both registered in my name. I need help doing a download.

I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer. I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4. They are both registered in my name. I need help doing a download. I was able to get part way through cs4, it showed up in my downloads but never got as far in the process as to ask for serial numbers. I tried with cs2 and I got an error message that some bit of information was incorrect. I currently have both downloaded on two other lap tops I own. One is operational and one is dead. I cannot access the dead one to remove the program. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

For CS2 you will need to download a special new version

Dreamweaver CS4 and CS5 on Same Computer

I am thinking of upgrading to CS5.5 from CS 4. I would like to know if it is ok to have and use both versions on the same computer. I have projects ongoing in my current version and don't want to have to reconfigure them to operate correctly in the new version. I plan to start new projects in the new version in the future.
What do you think?

I would tend to agree with Hans. Chances are that unless you need to support a website with methods that are no longer part of the new version of Dreamweaver, you won't need to have both versions.
I have something like 50 websites that are built in Dreamweaver CS3 and upgraded about a month ago to CS 5.5. Both versions of Dreamweaver coexist quite well on my Mac Pro under Snow Leopard and I am able to run both versions of Dreamweaver simultaneously, each with a different website open at the same time.
Both versions also successfully upload information to my server and, in fact, I can have both transmitting data to the same VPS server at the same time.
I have one website that is using a Flash-based slideshow created in Dreamweaver CS3 that I have not updated to the more modern jQuery. Once I update that, I will be able to switch completely to CS 5.5 for all of my websites. There is absolutely no difference in the HTML or CSS code generated by the two applications, as the standards for HTML and CSS are precisely the same.
And Dreamweaver CS 5.5 can be made to look and act like Dreamweaver CS3 (or very close to it) by simply changing how one's code view and design view are laid out (I prefer code to be on top and design to be beneath, rather than the default side-by-side view indroduced with CS5).
I also needed to check off the checkbox in Preferences>New Document "Include Unicode Signature (BOM)" because that is not required for standard English and Roman-alphabet based websites and will flag an error in the W3C Validator.
That's pretty much it. I do like the "Live Code" view, though I always check things in a web browser and check things again in several web browsers once uploaded to the server.

CS2 and CS4 please Help!

I recently upgraded from CS2 to CS4, and I'm very happy with it! i have it on my desktop computer, but what I was wondering is if it would be possible (since i no longer have CS2 installed on this machine) to install CS2 on my laptop? or would the registration of it conflict with CS4 on this machine?
Any and all help would be greatly apreciated! this is my first time posting to the Adobe forums so I hope that this is in the right section =)

CS3 and CS4 on same comuter

Hello all,
I have CS3 production premium suite on my laptop. I upgraded to CS4 production premium suite. I have to keep CS3 on my computer befause I have certain plug ins for Premiere that won't work in Premiere CS4 (cineform prospect hd and Procoder 3).
The problem is that my Adobe bridge no longer responds in PS CS3. Adobe Bridge does work in PS CS4.
Can I get it to work in both?
Thanks

I just re-read your original post.
Did you upgrade your CS3 to CS4 or purchase the complete CS4 package?
If you bought the upgrade, I do not think you can run CS3 and CS4 on the same machine because it will make CS3 into CS4 and remove CS3.
Not correct: it does not "remove CS3". Each upgrade is in fact a complete installation in its own folder structure.
Obviously you can't have both running at the same time, but a lot of people keep at least one previous version installed.

Elements 5 and 8 and CS4 on same PC

I have Elements 5 and CS4 on a Vista PC. I want to add Elements 8. Different users using different programs. Can all three be safely and effectively used on the same machine? If not, does a simple uninstall of E5 allow successful installation and use of E8?

All will work properly on the same computer.

How do I set up my second Ipod and itunes library (same computer)?

I recently filled up my first Ipod, and want to load my second Ipod's software on the same computer without causing interference and problems with my first ipod and library. How do I load my second ipod's software and create a library just for it, without the libraries becoming confused, or not recognizing ipods, or double copying songs?
Thanks in advance,
Doug

There are numerous ways to do what you want. Check this out: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432

Combining Libraries between husband and wife on same computer + 2 iPhones.

I've browsed the forums a bit but can't find an answer so here is the issue.
I've got one Macbook Pro between me and my new wife, I originally copied my library(20,000+ songs) to her iTunes in her profile and she could play all of it in iTunes and sync to her iPhone. The problem is we can't get stuff she buys to show up in my library or be playable on my profile(or our last gen Apple TV or my iPhone). Also anything she gifts me and I download to my profile is not playable in her's or transferable to her iPhone.
I've tried the "Home Sharing" thing. And have tried authorizing both my account to her iTunes and her account to mine.
All I want to do is be able to share music freely between both of our accounts and iPhones. Just the music not applications( I still want those separate so she can have her apps and I have mine).
I'm planning on attempting to put my entire library on an external drive and use my Airport Extreme to access it from the Mac and the Apple TV, not sure if that would make all of our music show up on both profiles or not though. I think it would if both copies of iTunes are pointed at that drive instead of a local folder...
If that doesn't work I'll probably call Apple Tech Support and attempt to get a answer on exactly how to share music in the same household on the same computer.
Any info would be appreciated, if there is a link to a post somewhere or a tech note I can read about how to do it please post it here.

From what I can tell, Home Sharing is for a single account.
No.
I want to transfer music purchased with my account to an iTunes that is controlled (for lack of a better word) by my wife's account.

You need to enable Home Sharing on all computers with the same iTunes ID.

Drop down menus on certain websites (ie ESPN) are no longer working on Firefox but work with both Chrome and IE on same computer so I believe its Firefox issue.

I tried updating Firefox to 19 and then even the Beta 20 version. I have rebooted computer countless times. On the same computer, I can open IE and bring up ESPN and the drop down menus work fine so I know its not a computer issue and it must have something to do Firefox. I tried the "starting in safe mode" and disabling add ons because I saw those suggestions but that didnt work. I also tried unchecking the box about hardware acceleration because I saw that suggested also and needless to say that didnt work either. Can someone please please help me, its very frustrating.

The menu on the ESPN site is generated via JavaScript, so make sure that you aren't blocking JavaScript if the menus aren't working.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Can I install Mountain Lion and Mavericks on same computer

Stupidly I installed Mavericks over Mountain Lion without checking whether Quark XPress 9.5.3.1 would work with Mavericks.
It won't.
I have re downloaded Mountain Lion and need to know whether I can run both on same computer - and how to do that - any help appreciated.
Thanks.

... There is NO way you can have Mountain Lion and Mavericks on the same computer.
Sure you can. Erase one of your partitions and install the OS of your choice on it. You can have as many operating systems on a Mac as you want. Use Startup Manager to select the OS you want to boot. Virtualization software is another option.
Both the Mavericks and Mountain Lion installers will permit you to select the partition on which it is to be installed.
If you don't tell us the errors that resulted from using Lion Disk Maker no one can begin to guess the reason, but no matter, you don't need the USB installer. Just use the App Store.
You can save the installer anywhere you like to use as often as you wish, so you don't have to download it each time.
It looks like this
You have to copy it before running the installer because the installer conveniently erases the 5+ GB file after the installer is finished with it.

Using 30gb and nano on same computer?

i have a 30gb video ipod and a nano. can i update them both only as long as they have the same library or do i have to use 2 separate computers? and what happens if i would go over 2gb? thank you for your help.

You can use them both in from the same computer and Itunes library: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
For the smaller iPod you can choose the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" which would allow you to create a playlist specifically for your iPod Nano and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your Nano (around 1800MB for a 2G). You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

Can i use ipod nano and mini on same computer?

we have an ipod nano. works great. daughter is trying to use an ipod mini and we get a message that itunes cannot communicate with device and that we need to reinstall itunes. Is there a compatibility problem here? Can we use a nano and a mini on the same computer?
THANKS!

You may need to update iTunes to work with the second generation nano; updating iTunes will not erase anything from your library, and it will continue to work with the iPod mini.

Running v6 and v7 on same computer

I have a couple of questions that may or may not be related.
I have v6 and recently bought the upgrade to v7.
Can I run both v6 and v7 on the same computer without
conflict? Do I need to buy a separate full version of v7 to do
this? I ask because I'm attempting this and getting an error when I
open v7 (v6 is still fully functional) and wonder if the problem is
running both versions or if the problem is completely unrelated.
Note that v7 still works when I ignore the warning which is "Error
Initialising RoboSource SCCAPI Connection."

Looking at your questions in a general way first:
- It depends on whether or not you will be using RoboHelp for
Word. If you will, then the dual install is not recommended. It's
OK for RH HTML but I haven't tried it with both versions running at
the same time. Also I haven't tried it with source control and it
looks like that is where your error is coming from. You do need
full licences for both versions. Given the low cost of the upgrade,
anyone would need to have a serious reason for keeping RH6.
Looking at your scenario:
- You have only paid for the upgrade so you cannot keep both
and it will not install correctly with RH6 still in place. I think
you will need to uninstall both and then install RH7 to get that
installation correct.

Connecting iPod and iPhone on same computer

Hi all !
I have an iPhone which I sync with iTunes on my notebook.
My son has an iPod Touch, and he sync it on his own computer.
I want to upgrade his iPod to OS 3.1 but I'm not nuts, I didn't put my payment informations in his iTune.
How can I buy the update with my Apple ID (on my notebook), and give him for installation on his computer ?
I know, I can't compare, but in the past I had big troubles connecting 2 blackberries on the same computer at work. All the data were mixed on both devices, so I prefer not to connect a 2nd device on my notebook.
Thank you for help

The answer was simple :
I connected to my son's iTune with my AppleID and bought the update...
For information : Apple told me not to update but "restore and update" to reorganize the iPod

Color changes between CS2 and CS4 opacity with effects turned on

Howdie.
I don't run into issues much with Photoshop, and this one has me stumped.
I needed to drop back to CS2 in order to use a warp mesh plugin. I saved out a small portion of a file that I created in CS4 (Only containing the layer I needed to warp) and then opened that file in CS2, turned off all the effects (drop shadow, inner glow, bevel & emboss), and applied the mesh warp, then saved the file. I went back into CS4 and re-opened it there and copied its layers into the bigger, original file. What is strange is that the colors were a LOT lighter than they should be when compared to the original unwarped layer. So in an attempt to figure out what was wrong, I checked all of my layer opacities, filter settings, layer mixing mode, etc. and everything was exactly the same. I even tried deleting the layer style and copying the layer style from the original layer...no change. I turn off the effects and check the color of the object and it reads the same as the original layer. Both layers have no semi-transparency in the colors. I turn the effects on and it is all whacked out. After a while, I figured out that the problem was that the layer opacity in the effects, although reading the same between both layers (70%), is behaving as if it should be at 90% opacity in the new layer in order to match the original. Its as if the layer worked on in CS2 has brought with it some corrupted info in its definition, that never leaves and affects any Effects you try to apply to it.
Has anyone experienced this one before?

A liitle bit more info here. Apparently, the pixel data for the warped parts screws with the effect, Inner Glow, in the Choke and Size sliders. The sliders simply quit functioning and have an abrupt light/dark toggle effect roughly near about value "7".
The only way I could fix the problem was to do this convoluted solution, since Duplicate Layer does not work.
    1. Clear the effects on the problem layer.
    2. At this point you can either work on the problem layer directly or duplicate it to create a work layer. Doesn't really matter because both layers will get deleted later anyway.
    3. With Channel Mixer, and for EACH color channel CMYK, move all 4 sliders hard left, so that the result is 0/0/0/0 for the CMYK values (Do NOT use Brightness & Contrast in place of Channel Mixer because you will lose any blurred edges. Also, using Channel Mixer does not swell or choke off the pixels along any "floating" shapes' edges).
    4. With the selection tool, create two small selection boxs at two opposite corners of the entire layer. Fill them with any color.
    5. Select the entire layer (CNTL + A on a PC), and copy it to the clipboard.
    6. Create a new Alpha channel and Paste. The little boxs at the opposite corners of the file were needed to precisely position a copy of the layer when we Paste it into the new channel. The contents of the channel must be exactly registered with where the original shapes were in the problem layer.
    7. If you want, you can now delete the boxs in the corners of the channel by filling them with black.
    8. Create a new layer and load the selection (the channel) we just created.
    9. Fill it with the desired color.
    10. Copy the desired effects from the original layer before warping was done and to the new layer we just created.
    11. Delete the old problem layer.
    12. Done.
