CS2 disc lost

I'm in a quandry. I've had a hard drive meltdown, and it seems I've lost my CS2 disc. I've got access to my reg number via my Adobe account, but I've got no way to re-install w/out the disc. Only the updates are available under Downloads at Adobe. The only disc I have is my old PS7.0 disc. I can't install that since I'm running OS10.6.6 on an Intel Mac. Anyone have a suggestion?

I think that person is restricted from posting links. But one can easily navigate Adobe's FTP server to find the CS2 tryout...
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/photoshop/mac/cs2
I'd encourage an upgrade to CS5. CS2 is the oldest version that can upgrade. You will likely be out of the upgrade window when CS6 arrives.
CS2 was not designed for your computer. CS2 was written for PPC and may run slower on Intel because of Rosetta emulation. CS5 was written for your computer.

Lost adobe CS2 discs. How upgrade?

I'm retired & on limited income, thus I'm far behind in Adobe upgrades. I currently use CS2 Suite mostly Indesign, Illustrator, & Photoshop, for a book I'm writing that is currently at about 3500 pages. CS2 meets my needs and don't need to upgrade. However, I also have a hobby of photography and use LR 3.6, but would like to upgrade to LR 4. But to take advantage of LR 4 I need to upgrade my OS. I hate Win 8, but Win 7 Pro I'm told will run my CS2 and LR 4. I've saved up and got LR 4 & Win 7, but need to wipe my hard drive and reinstall the 32 bit disc. Problem: I can't find my CS2 discs! Can I not take the ones in XP download to external HD, then reinstall on Win 7? How does one do this? Or does one just forget the LR4 & Win 7? I can't afford to get another computer or upgrade my CS.

If you upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7, then your applications may still be activated and working. But CS2 may only run under XP compatibility mode in W7.
I know that Microsoft says that you cannot upgrade Windows XP to 7, but here is an article that describes how to upgrade: http://www.pcworld.com/article/171432/windows_7_upgrade_guide.html
Note that you cannot upgrade a 32-bit OS to a 64-bit OS.

Photoshop cs2 disc will not install

I had Photoshop CS2 installed on my old iMac, which recently crashed, so I purchased a new MacBook Pro. I used Time Machine to transfer all my data from my 2006 iMac to my new MacBook Pro. Transfer of data was successful, except for Photoshop CS2, which was "X-ed" out and would not load when selected. So I took out my purchased Photoshop CS2 disc (which I bought new and still have the receipt for) and attempted to re-install, but with no luck. I removed all previous PS files like several forums recommended and attempted several more times to install PS via disc, but again, no luck. The Message I get is "The installation failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance." So I am contacting you for guidance on how to resolve this issue. I understand PS CS2 is no longer supported (I even downloaded the file from you site to install PS CS2 https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2%5Fdownloads but this was also unsuccessful), but I sure could use your help. Thank you.

CS2 will only work on old PowerPC Macs. It isn't compatible with the Intel processor in new Macs. There is nothing you can do I'm afraid.

D drive wont read my CS2 disc

My D drive wont read mt Cs2 disc. It says there is no disc in the drive, but ive tried it on other comps and it works. I tried burning the disc and that didnt work and i have no ext hard drive. anything suggestions?

Assuming the cd you burned was intended as a backup of your original Adobe CS2 disc, perhaps you didn't finalize it when you burned it. Use the original disc instead. If you don't have an original disc, you might consider that this forum is sponsored by Adobe.

Lost Illustrator CS2 Discs

Hello,
I'm wanting to get Illustrator CS2 back onto my computer, but I don't know where my installation discs are. I was hoping that I could just use an installer and then input my serial number - but I believe the free trial downloads that I've tried in the past just say the trial has ended with no option or place to "upgrade" to the full version.
I legally own the copy and my serial number and product version, etc. can be verified by an Adobe customer support person through my Adobe account should it be desired.
Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving all!

Hey all,
I have download a tryout file with the hopes of just inputting my serial number into that - however, as soon as I launch it, it just tells me 30 day period has expired and just offers me the chance to buy Illustrator. As previously stated, I already own Illustrator - so I don't want to purchase it again, nor purchase a newer version.
Is there any reason why it won't give me a "I already have a serial number" option or something?

How to install cs2 discs on windows 7 machine?

Hello,
I am replacing an old xp machine with a new windows 7 professional machine, and I was wondering if my older version can work on 7 professional? I have all discs, the software dates to 2003.
Thanks in advance.

All you need to know:

Beyond that, technical and compatibility issues ought to be expected. It's simply old software.

When loading CS2 I lost all OS 9 printing capabilities

This may be in the wrong category,, but it could fall in a number of places:
I believe it's a first Gen G5 currently running OSX 10.3.9, and has always (Im user #2 on the machine) been running OS 9 concurrently. A while ago I installed Adobe CS2, at the time I lost all printing. I was able to regain OSX printing but anything from OS 9 refused to print. This is a problem that I have found a way around but would really like to know why?

If you have your contacts in Outlook or Address Book you should be able to sync them back. If you only had them on your phone, and if you backed up your iPhone by syncing with iTunes before you went to the Apple store, you might be able to extract your contacts from this old backup using 3rd party software such as: http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/.

Upgrade to CS4 when CS2 disks lost

I lost my CS2 disks, but Adobe Web Support said I could still purchase the CS4 upgrade instead of the full version because I have the CS2 serial numbers. The problem is, I'm upgrading to a brand new computer. In order for the CS4 upgrade software to work, doesn't the computer need to have the CS2 software installed on it? Is there a way to get the CS2 software from my old computer to my new computer without disks, or am I forced to buy the full version for my new computer?

No, it doesn't need to be installed. The serial number should be fine for verification.
Did you register CS2? If so, and you have a problem, you can call Adobe for help with the installation.

Install Discs Lost

If, for example, the install discs are lost, is there any way one can erase everything and re-install OS X except buying a box of Tiger?

I 'lost' mine last year and called Apple. They will get you some more if you are under the 12 month warranty - I think thats what they said. It was a call centre in India and I got cut off.
Anyway - I found them again so had no need to order.
I would suggest calling and see what they say.

Need to copy FCP to Mac Pro... Have serial, but Discs lost

I have a registered copy of final cut pro 7.0.3. It is installed on my laptop. My laptop isn't working anymore, but I have a backup of all the files. I have a mac pro that I can use, however I cannot find my install discs anywhere. I do have my serial number written down somewhere. I would like to copy final cut to the mac pro from the back up of my laptop that I have, but I get an error. Something to do with it not working because of the version of OSX. I know this can't really be a problem because the laptop and Mac Pro were on the same version. What can I do to successfully copy it?

not recommended, but you might try migration assistant. No idea if it'll work.
It wont, it must be installed from original discs.

Hi Jana... you can't do it without the Disks, but...
Might give a try with Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

Windows XP restore discs & lost recovery partition

If I have two M series Thinkcentres having compatible machine types. Can I use a set of restore discs from the first Thinkcentre to factory install Windows XP onto a second Thinkcentre where the recovery partition and install drive became corrupted?
Also do Thinkcentre applications and utilities install under a retail copy of Windows XP (installed onto a Thinkcentre)?
e.g. Fingerprint reader software, Rescue and Recovery, Client Security, etc.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes, if the model is the same (same first 4 digits) you can use the recovery discs on the second machine. You will load the disks, and then when that process is finished, you will select F11 at boot and then restore to factory state once the Windows Recovery loads.
No Thinkcentre specific applications will load with a retail copy of Windows. You will have to go to the Lenovo download pages and install the apps individually.
