CS2 upgrading to CS5.5 design preimum & Resources to learn the new program

I Have CS2 upgrading to CS5.5 design preimum.
I have a Mac Version 10.5.8 laptop
Hardware Overview:
Model Name:    MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:    MacBookPro5,2
Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:    2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors:    1
Total Number Of Cores:    2

is that good enough?
Also I'm stepping up from CS2 to CS5.5 will all my files open from CS2? Such as Photoshop, Indesign, and illistratior files? This is really Important.
I know when it comes to InDesign older versions aren't so good at upgrading, all files have to be made open in a new one.
Also I'll need to learn the new programs how different are they? Like are the basics the same?
Any videos on line to help any of these issues?
Allll sooo have a great day!
Thank you! XOXO

Can I upgrade my photoshop cs2 upgrade to cs5?

I bought a photoshop CS2 upgrade to the original photoshop. I'd like to upgrade that photoshop cs2 to photoshop cs5. I just want to confirm that this is a valid upgrade path?

What is "various vendors"? I'd be extremely careful with that. Unless you can be 100% sure this is an authorized reseller selling of his remaining CS5 packages, this may be fraud. Counterfeited packages that were replicated so perfectly they looked like the real deal have been around for a while...

Macbook Pro OS X Snow Leopard and CS2 upgrade and CS5?

Hi everyone,
I am a newbie and would love to hear some thoughts on this.
I currently have the Adobe CS2 which I use on my toshiba. but all that is about to change because I recently got a macbook pro that runs on Snow lepoard. I have read some of the other treads and have come to the realisation that my CS2 will not work on the macbook?!
What is really the case? Is there no chance at all that I will be able to use my CS2?
If so, that means I will need to get an upgrade. Currently, my CS2 is the normal version, but I am now a student so I will be eligible for the student discount & upgrade. Is it possible to have all that arranged over the Adobe site? I can only see the student option, but not the upgrade option for student editions. Or should I head over to a store?
Is it true that I can wait till CS5 to come up before I lose my upgrading option?
Even though I have had CS2 for almost 5 years now, I am still very much a beginner (shameful I know). Is it worth even getting the upgrade in my case? And will CS5 be compatible with the macbook pro leopard?
Many thanks in advance!

I don't accept this at all.
Firstly, CS2 not only didn't work properly on Leopard, but nor did it on Vista. So both Microsoft and Apple are presumably grossly violating this OS upgrade principal?
Secondly, Microsoft manage to keep their apps updated without too much complaint. Hence office 2004 still runs faultlessly on Leopard
Thirdly, we have seen the Adobe approach to upgrades with Phtoshop / Lightroom and Camera Raw. How many people have bought a new digital SLR just to find that Adobe doesn't support it and will only support it if you pay for the next upgrade.
Finally, the job of an OS build is to improve the OS and let 3rd party developers have the beta releases so they can test their apps on it. If the app's developer finds it is a big job, why not charge existing users a nominal fee for the patch? I'm happy with CS2 functionality and would happily pay a sensible amount for some fixes rather than £700 + for an upgrade. We all understand that software moves on, but having to pay huge sums for an upgrade after 2 years is simply unacceptable.

Does Windows CS2 qualify for CS5 upgrade

I got CS2 so I could process my Olympus C-8080 raw files, but my Olympus E-620 raw files require a later version. I am wondering if the CS5 upgrade will work with my CS2.
This page makes it look like CS2 qualifies:
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/buying-guide-upgrades.html
You own
Upgrade to CS5
CS4, CS3, or CS2
US$199
This copy of CS5 u/g has never been used or activated

Will this u/g work on my CS2 (XP SP3 32 bit).
Thanks,
Mike

Indesign CS5 and CS2 upgrade/compatibility issues

Hi,
I have recently upgraded from CS2 to CS5 and I am having printing issues.
If I open a CS2 file in CS5, I can not print direct from Indesign. It prints part of the page with big white boxes and then spits out 5 odd pages of error messages.
I had a case open with Technical Support (#181804690) but they have now told me that CS2 and CS5 are not compatible and I will have to redesign all files from scratch. He said that all CS2 files will not work in CS5 - only from CS3 and up.
Surely this is can't be right and Adobe do not care (as I was told by Tech Support)?!
Also, Indesign seems to crash every time I close the application.
Can anyone help with this? Thanks!

Hi Peter,
What a relief!!!
My case number was 181804690.
I have a Dell Optiplex 780 Intel Core Duo, Windows XP 32 bit.
I am trying to print direct from Indesign to a Lexmark C782. We have updated all the drivers etc from Lexmark but still not luck.
When I print I get part of the background print fine but where there is meant to be text and images, there is just white boxes.
The error messages which print out after the first page are:
ERROR: syntaxerror
OFFENDING COMMAND: binary token, type=138
STACK:
- mark -
- dictionary -
ERROR: syntaxerror
OFFENDING COMMAND: binary token, type=138

OFFENDING COMMAND: ]

OFFENDING COMMAND: i can't find it on the keyboard but its a little squiggle up the top. Kind of like a 'v'

Thanks so much for your help Peter!
Kind regards,

How can I download Camera Raw? I bought CS2 a long time ago and it was upgraded to CS5 but I do not have Camera Raw plug in. Thank you

How can I download Camera Raw? I bought CS2 a long time ago and it was upgraded to CS5 but I do not have Camera Raw plug in. Thank you

Which camera make and model are your Raw files from?
Camera Raw ships with Photoshop and is constantly upgraded by Adobe to keep up with new cameras as they are released to market.
It's likely that your camera requires a version of Camera Raw which is not compatible with your CS5. Or you may simply need to upgrade Camera Raw via Help > Updates in Photoshop.

CS2 Standard Upgrade to CS5 Design Premium question

I've never upgraded from CS2 Standard to CS5 Design Premium because I'd heard that if I do upgrade, I won't be able to open and edit my CS2 docs in CS5. That's a huge problem, because I have years of work docs created in CS2 (in all components: InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator). Is this a myth and if not, has that "bug" (in my opinion) been straightened out? I don't want to spend the $$ if it's going to cause me a production nightmare. Thanks for any insight!

You heard wrong. There are no CS5 apps that cannot open files created in earlier versions.
That said, going the other way will be a problem for some apps such as InDesign.
You can get the CS2 Design Standard to CS5 Design Premium upgrade at Amazon for $763 with free shipping: http://amzn.to/bVMlqi
That will save you a few buck over the Adobe list price.

Can i skip installing CS2 if i have upgrade to CS5.5?

Ihave CS2 and CS5.5 upgrade discs. Now i have new PC with win8 and my old registrationd on CS2 doesnt work anymore. I have to download all the files for th CS2 again, installit with the provided serial number and then upgrade to cs5.5 or is there a way i ca upgrade directli without even activating the CS2? I want to avoid downloading CS2 all over again since i have it on discs.
thanks
M:P

Hi Michael,
Have you tried installing the CS5.5 first ? Once you are installing the product, it would ask you for the previous version serial number and then you can enter the CS2 serial number and that should do the job.

Upgrade from CS2 (PC) to CS5 Master Collection (Mac) ?

Hi, I'm currently having CS2 Creative Suite Premium (PC version), and I'm interested to upgrade to CS5 Master Collection (Mac version). Am I entitled for upgrade using Adobe product no 65065593, or should I use something else? I'm a company user (not home/education). Best regards, Marti

In order to upgrade crossplatform, you'll need to call Adobe directly.

Upgrade from CS2 Education to CS5 Full Commercial?

Hello,
I'm new to this forum. I have a question regarding upgrading to CS5. I don't think there's been another question on this specific question I have. If there is, sorry for posting it again.
Basically, I have a copy of the CS2 Design Premium Education version. Now I would like to upgrade it to the CS5 Design Premium Commercial version. I didn't need to work from home previously, so never really needed the commercial licence for my laptop. But now it's time to get one so I can work anywhere.
I know there is an upgrade from CS2 to CS5 version that I can purchase but it doesn't tell me if it can be used on the Education version too.
Can anyone confirm that the upgrade does work on an Education version too?
Thanks heaps.
Leanne

You brought up a few issues here.
(1) If you bought an upgrade that you cannot use, please call Adobe Customer Support (via phone) and see what can be done to let you return the software. There should not be any problem if this is within 30 days of purchase, but even if not, they should be supportive. If the first agent you speak to can't assist, ask for their supervisor.
(2) The copy of CS3 that was installed on your Mac by your employer is likely a volume license which cannot be upgraded via a standard upgrade license. Note that if your employer installed the software using their volume serial number, that software license belongs to your employer and not you personally. It that employer is in fact your ex-employer, you no longer have legal rights to use that software which was licensed to your ex-employer. (Note that purchasers of volume licenses cannot unbundle a volume license by either giving away copies such as to former employees or sell such copies!)

Photoshop CS6 issue with shortcuts and my keyboard after upgrade from CS5

I recently upgraded from CS5 Extended to CS6 Extended on my Mac (Mavericks), but installed it in English instead of German this time. I transferred most of my presets just fine, but none of the keyboard shortcuts were working. All I got was an unequal sign for all shortcuts and even manually changing them didn't get them to work. I found a few discussions about this issue and ended up adding a German keyboard, as I am always on the Romaji setting of my Kotoeri (Japanese) keyboard. That seemed to solve the issue, but only if I change to the German keyboard before opening Photoshop. Shortcuts don't work in CS5 anymore either unless I do. Sometimes the shortcuts also stop working a while after I change back to the Kotoeri keyboard.
Now I would like to know if there is any way to get around this issue. Isn't there a way to get my shortcuts working again without constantly having to change keyboards? I much prefer the Kotoeri one since the icon for the German keyboard in my menu bar looks extremely obnoxious, in my opinion. It's mostly a cosmetic thing to me, but I would love to get everything back to the way it was before.
I'd much appreciate any advice or help.

I am having a similar problem. Just upgraded to Apple Yosemite and all none of my keyboard shortcuts are working in a clean install of Photoshop CS6. Every menu item has some form of the ≠ sign. I've trashed the .plist file, rebuilt permissions, etc. Even basic keyboard commands, like Command-N for NEW or Command-Q for QUIT do not work. In fact, many don't show up in the menu at all. I don't have this issue in InDesign CS6 or Illustrator CS6. Every once in awhile, maybe 1 time out of 20, menus and keyboard shortcuts work properly, but I can't find any pattern.

How can I install my CS2 upgrade to my new macbook pro?

Help! I have a new Macbook pro and an old upgrade of CS2 photoshop (upgraded from Photoshop 6). I bought these two for a PC and was told in the Mac shop that I could run them on my fancy new machine..........apparently not, it won't install classic photoshop 6 as presumably it's too old. I also have CS2 Indesign but can't find the install button to press for that either......Am I screwed? I can't afford new programmes.

CS2 is the oldest version that can be upgraded to CS5. You may want to do that now before you lose the opportunity when CS6 comes out. You can upgrade and crossgrade to CS5 for Mac.
Another thought...
I run CS2 for Windows on Linux through Wine. It works fine. You could probably install Wine on Mac and do the same.
The salespeople might have been referring to running your Windows software on Mac with a virtual machine... with the help of such apps as VMWare Fusion or Parallels. These let you run Windows on top of Mac OS X without rebooting into a Windows partition. See the marketing line: "It Runs Windows Too".
