CS2 installation (from CD)

CS2 won't install on my new mac.  When I click on the CD icon I just get a window showing the contents of the CD.  If I click on the "installer exe." it tells me the software isn't supported by mac OS - even though it works on my partner's mac.
Any ideas?

You wouldn't be able to activate it anyway; see http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l on how to proceed.

  • Can anyone help me with a CS2 installation from download on Windows 8?

    Can anyone help me to install CS2 from download.  I am on Windows 8.  The prompt keeps asking me to insert disc 2!  I have opened all the files to the folder as instructed, I have even tried to copy to discs but nothing seems to work.

  • CS2 installation from download

    Just as Gibbo posted a few hours ago, I am unable to complete installation as the install is asking for a disc and I have download files instead.  I have possession of the discs, but Adobe today sent me instead to these downloads because they don't support activation on CS2 anymore.  How do I get the downloads to complet the process?

  • Photoshop CS2 installation failures

    I have been having trouble with Photoshop CS2 installation. PS was working fine bur 3 days ago told me there was a serious error and I had to reinstall which I have tried 5 times but it gets to the end and tells me a file is missing and to quit which I do but no PS. Adobe told me to create a disc image using disk utility and install from that. Still failed. I had to install on another bootable disc with 10.4.0 and it worked so there is a software conflict somewhere, probably with the latest security update (2007) but I do not want to have to reformat my HD and reinstall ALL my software from scratch and then NOT update to latest software without knowing what is going on. Can anyone offer any suggestions please.
    Adobe say there is no conflict issue with latest security update. Have tried all sorts of install methods but it always fails at the last hurdle!
    David

    Firstly I am not installing the whole suite of software, only PS CS2 so Version Cue is not a problem.
    Adobe also say there is no conflict issue with Apple security update and CS2. They tell me about making sure I have admin read and write for registrations database but this asumes I have PS installed which I cannot
    Secondly I tried the CS3 Beta download which incidentally is 685Mb and it will not mount, so I will have to try another lengthy download

After my 2011 MacBook Pro 17 died, I had to purchase a new MacBook Pro 15 to replace it.  I performed a Time Machine installation from that 2011 machine, and only Distiller and Acrobat would launch (none of the rest of the creation apps).  So I ran the CS5.5 installer, uninstalled, then reinstalled, producing the same result. When I try to launch, nothing happens.  What next?

  • Remove windows Installation from Old WD hard drive and Install Fresh Copy on the New One.

    Hi Community! I just bought a new WD Blue 1 TB hard drive, my old hard drive is WD Blue caviar 500 GB, running on Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit.
    There are two things I wish to do: 1. Firstly, if it's possible, I would like to copy some videos, images, music etc. from my OLD Drive to the new one.
    Please note that, I don't have an external disk to do it, I know that would've been less complicated, but that's not an option at this point. 2. Secondly, once that is done, if possible, I want to remove windows 7 installation from my old hard drive, re-partition it to make it just the storage drive, and finally install
    fresh copy of windows 7- 64 bit to the new Hard drive.
    Please note that, my old Hard drive is installed on windows 7- 32 bit and now I want to install a fresh copy of Windows 7-64bit instead of 32bit, because I am upgrading my
    configuration with better ones.
    I am adding 4 GB corsair vengeance ram to my 2 GB corsair ram, so that is 6 GB in total.
    I am adding 1 TB hard disk to my 500 GB Hard disk, so that is 1500 GB.
    Both my processor and mother board supports 64 bit.
    Intel® Pentium® Processor G2020 (3M Cache, 2.90 GHz) And this Mother board - "Biostar H61MGV3"I know that you could clone the partition and migrate the installation from one hard drive to another using the Acronis True Image WD Edition Software, but I don't want that.
    In simple words, say I have a dos computer, I installed my 1TB WD hard drive, installed a fresh copy of windows 7-64bit. So my computer is up and running. Now, I have another hard
    drive which I wish to use, that is 500GB WD, but it has Windows 7-32 bit installed in it.
    So what I want to do is, make this old hard drive a complete 500 gb storage device and remove the windows installation from it, without loosing music, videos, etc. and then lastly
    copying the music and other media to the new hard drive, and formatting it completely.
    I am perhaps making this very complicated, I know you would have better easier solution for this.
    I am frustrated, your help would be appreciated, thanks a lot. Sincerely, Abe

    Since you don't want to clone the drive (I agree with you), you can just swap drives and install Windows on the new drive. Windows won't complain that you are installing on a different drive because it only cares if you change more than one piece of hardware at a time. The problem will arise when you copy the files from the old drive because you cannot just connect it via SATA. That would confuse Windows, as both installations were run on that hardware. You need to mount it in an external dock via USB 2.0/3.0 which will isolate the details of the OS. After you copy all necessary files, you can use WDC Lifeguard to write zeros to the entire disk and then create a new partition. After that you can mount it via SATA because it will be a new drive. Do NOT be in a hurry to wipe the drive however, as you don't want to forget something.

  • Photoshop CS2 installation issue

    I had to clone my hard drive, and then CS2 didn't work anymore. I downloaded the individual programs from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html, and they installed and ran OK except for Photoshop. At the end of the install I got this error message: "Error 1402.Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\...Adobe Photoshop CS2 - {236BB7C4-4419-42FD-0409-1E257A25E34D}. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel." I tried it as the administrator, etc., but I keep getting this message. What can I do?

    Hello Jeff,
    I am using Windows 7 Pro, and yes, all was operating well before the activation servers shut down. Also, as I said in the initial message, I was able to download and install the CS2 versions of InDesign, Illustrator, and Acrobat (downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html ). When I try to install the version of Photoshop CS2 (downloaded from that same site), I get the error message (right at the very end of install) "Error 1402.Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\...Adobe Photoshop CS2 - {236BB7C4-4419-42FD-0409-1E257A25E34D}. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel."
    I'm a high school teacher and I use these programs all the time, so this is becoming kind of inconvenient for me...
    Thanks for sticking with me on this,
    A. S. Pels

A: my MacBook Air becomes unresponsive when logging in, and I decided to reinstall OS X Lion. When running the installer from OS X Recovery, it gave the error message "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again."

I encountered the same exact problem when I attempted to re-installed OSX Lion on an old laptop. The date was set back in 2000, which rendered the certificate obsolete. Here's how I fixed it:
From the recovery menu, select the Terminal application. Run the 'date' command to confirm the date is wrong, then set the correct date using this command: date {month}{day}{hour}{minute}{year}
e.g. date 1219195613
Exit terminal (type exit). Retry the installation.

  • ITunes installation from CD

    I know someone with a Dial-Up modem connection that wants to get the latest version of iTunes installed on their computer. Rather than having them sit for hours to download over dial-up is there a way for me to get the iTunes software (PC or Mac) from the Apple Web site and put it on CD or DVD? I have a high-speed internet connection so not an issue.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Download the installer from here:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Save it to a CD or memory stick.
    Copy the file to your friends desktop and run the installer from there.

  • Best procedure to downgrade a SQL Server 2012 SP2 installation from Enterprise edition to Standard edition

    Hi,
    following a purpose change for a database server, I need to downgrade the SQL Server 2012 SP 2 installation from Enterprise to Standard edition.
    Does it exist the best procedure to do it in a secure manner with a low impact?
    Many thanks

    Please note that while you are downgrading by uninstalling and reinstalling and then restoring backup  taken from 2012 enterprise to standard , if backup contains data about used enterprise features you would not be able to restore the backup so BE
    CAREFUL.
    You should , if possible, get a new box install SQL Server standard and try restoring backup if it fails disable enterprise features and again take backup and then you would be able to restore.

  • Template Installer from Java to BI error in SLD

    Hello Gurus,
    I've install my BI system system (ABAP Only)  and my Portal system (Java Only). Now I'm running the template installer from http://host:53800/nwa.
    I'm getting an error at the very first step "Test SLD connection:It was not possible to test the SLD system (SLD_HOST) with the user (SLD_ADMIN)  and its password ".
    The anoying thing is, I can see that both system (BI & Portal) are registered in the SLD, when checking the "visual administrator -> "SID" -> Server xx -> Services -> Configuration adaptor -> CTC -> Propertysheet " I can see that the user is SLDDSUSER and and is pointing to the correct host & port.
    In SM59 I've create the RFC pointing to the already created JCO.
    In http://host:53800/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcwdtools/Explorer, when running the test, I can see that is pointing to the SLD in the portal system and not my SLD.
    I went trough OSS note 983156 and follow it.
    Does anybody have any idea about this?
    Thanks & Regards
