CS2 upgrade won't recognize Photoshop 5.0 CD or Install

I am reiinstalling after a HDD crash and CS2 which previously worked fine in Win XP, won't recognize my Photoshop 5.0 installation to upgrade it.
It gave me a # to give customer support so they could give me an unlock code per install screen instructions.  Come to find out, they don't support 5.0 and earlier versions anymore.
Anyone have a solution or workaround for this issue?
Regards,
Adam

    Hello JashaCOLD,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your external hard drive.  I found an article with steps you can take when an external device is not being recognized.

  • SCC-2345 won't recognize the (2) SCC-SG24s I installed

    SCC-2345 won't recognize the (2) SCC-SG24s I installed.
    They don't show up as a MAX selection.  They are installed
    in J3 and J4.  I've tried moving them to different slots with
    but they still don't show up.
    We have a 6052E card connected to the SCC-2345.  We are
    using Labview 7.0 Developer Suit.  Operating system is Windows
    2000.
    The (2) SCC-SG04s we have installed do show up as a
    selection and work well.
    Can anyone point me toward a resolution to this problem?

    Alan,
    Thanks for your reponse, it was dead on.
    After updating, the scc-sg24s now appear as a drop down selection but now
    I have another problem.  My  PCI-6052 DAQ board now does not appear as
    a selection to "add".  Immediately after updating NI-DAQ I fired up MAX and
    even though the scc-sg24 appeared as a selection, this selection, the
    scc-2435, our pci-6052, and all other modules fitted to the pci-6052/scc-2435
    appear with a red "X" next to them. 
    I renamed the existing <Data> directory and allowed MAX to recreate it but the
    PCI-6052 appears ONLY as a legacy selection and can not be added/selected to
    DAQmx. 
    I can add the scc-2345  DIRECTLY to DAQmx and also select all the modules
    that we have loaded into it, but after I select <OK> I get an error message that I
    haven't selected a digital interface
    I'm assuming this is because I can't add the 2345(I have to add it directly to
    DAQmx)  to the 6052 because the 6052 doesn't show as an available option to be
    added to DAQmx. 
    Do you know if there is other software or drivers I need to update?
    Again, thanks for your help.

  • Upgrade won't recognize the hard disk to begin the installation

    Powerbook G4 w/ 9.2.2 & the original CD for OS X 10.1 - thought I'd get it on and upgrade from there since I know I'll need to buy more RAM - existing is 385 & I only have 10 G on the system. I downloaded several updates, ran the security update first. The 10.1.1 update won't recognize the hard disk to begin the installation.Thought I had a clue, but stuck in the jungle upgrading. Which one is which - is Jaguar 10.2??? Do I need to be doing each of these upgrades to get it running well until I add the RAM? I'm trying to stay calm since it updated my IE and I think I lost everything I had on it - too fast with the click and assumed they were separate entities....(unless there is a genius out there who can help on that front too)
    many thanks... Kate

    Hi Kate! And Welcome To Discussions!
    You're lucky Kappy is helping you out with this. He is one of the more knowledgable posters here!
    I'm just adding some extra info.
    There are two PowerBook models that need a Firmware Update, before you can install a newer OS X.
    Check if one of them is yours.
    Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
    The point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), and 10.4.x to 10.4.6 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
    Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
    Jaguar and Panther, are no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
    Jaguar Full Retail Version CDs, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, etc.
    Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
    Jaguar and Panther are only on CDs, not DVDs.
    More info here Tip: Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
    Once Jaguar 10.2.x is installed, you can use the 10.2.8 combo update,
    or if Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final edition of either OS.
    If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that.
    And then use the 10.4.6 Combo Update.
    You'll find System Requirements in these links:
    Panther
    Tiger
    Additionally,
    "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."

    Shop Carefully, Examine All Documention, And Good Luck!

  • Mountain Lion Upgrade Won't Recognize AOL password

    I just upgraded to mountain lion and aol won't recognize my password.  Gmail and iCloud no issues at all. Driving me nuts. Quit and tried again-no luck. Rebooted-no luck. Installed latest version of aol for mac-no luck. Unchecked SSL-no luck.  Any suggestions

    Which versions of Office?  If you upgraded from Snow Leopard and you're on Office 2004, you're out of luck.  If you're on a newer version of Office you should be OK.

  • CS2 Upgrade will not take Photoshop CS or 7.0 Serial Numbers

    I'm attempting to install the Adobe Creative Suite 2 software (upgrade version) on a new Mac we have purchased to replace the employee's current Mac with. In the process it's asking for a serial number for Photoshop 5.0 or newer. I've entered in 4 different Photoshop 7.0 serial numbers and also a Photoshop CS serial number and they all come back stating the serial number I've provided does not qualify.
    I am at a loss because it seemed to have worked fine doing this same process on another Mac that I setup for another user. I am really hoping to avoid going back to our original full copy of Photoshop 4.0 and upgrading all the software versions just to get to the 7.0 software so that the CS2 can detect the software on the hard drive.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what I need to do at this point?

    I'm not sure what to tell you about this but I will tell you that CS2 is totally unsupported on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Intel Macs.
    I'm assuming that this new machine is running Snow Leopard and is Intel based. You're likey to have a lot of problems with that configuration and you should consider moving up to CS4.
    Nobody here can help with serial number issues. You'll need to contact Adobe directly.

  • Upgrade won't recognize old serial

    i currently have Photoshop CS on my macbook pro and have since bought the upgrade version of CS3. when I go through the process to register the upgrade, it prompts me for my Photoshop CS serial. I have entered that but it does not recognize it and will not let me register my upgrade. any ideas??? i'm starting to get a bit angry that i've spent all this money and can't even use these new features.

    Where are you copying the CS serial number from?
    You have to use it the serial number as it appears on the Install CD. You cannot the use the serial number that appears on the Splash Screen in in Photoshop CS because that number is deliberately truncated by four digits in order to discourage software pirates.

  • OS 10.4.7 upgrade won't recognize my network  belkin router

    Since upgrading to 10.4.7 my computer does not recognize my network belkin router. Any fixes other that reloading 10.4 and upgrading to 10.4.5? 10.4.6 failed several times too.

    When you say that your computer doesn't recognize your Belkin router, do you mean that your computer lost Internet connectivity after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.7?
    If so, can you get a friend to bring over a computer and try to connect to the Internet through your router? That would eliminate whether the router was to blame or not. It might also pay to power cycle your router.
    On your Mac, go to System Preferences > Network > Built-In Ethernet and check to see if you're actually getting an IP address from the router (assuming that you've configured it for DHCP). You can select Built-In Ethernet and click on configure to see how it's actually configured. On the first tab, TCP/IP, you probably want to have Configure IPv4 configured to Using DHCP. Close all of those windows and as an extra precaution, reboot your machine and see if that gets you back online.

  • Firefox 4 new upgrade won't recognize reboot.

    I've just completed upgrading to Firefox 4. As usual it asked me to reboot to complete the install. I've rebooted & shut down twice & it still give me the message that I have to reboot when I try to open it. I also tried reinstalling it & uninstalling it, both with the same result.

  • CS6 Upgrade Won't Recognize Existing CS5.5 Installation

    I have a legal copy of CS5.5 Master Collection for Windows on my PC.  It's installed on an SSD, mapped to drive B for speed.  Just bought and downloaded CS6 Production Premium for Windows.  Successfully entered the serial number, but the installer couldn't find the CS5.5 MC installation (itself an upgrade from a full version of CS5 MC) so it prompted me for the S/N of a qualifying product.  I entered my CS5.5 MC S/N and the installer says it's not a qualifying product.  What gives and how do I resolve this and get the CS6 upgrade to run? Thank you.

    Ah, I was indeed wrong about that upgrade path, my apologies, just double checked and CS5 MC is listed as a valid upgrade to Production Premium http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/production/buying-guide-upgrades.html
    Glad you got it working, still waiting for my free upgrade email from Adobe to come through.

  • I want to install the new version of Adobe Flash on my Mac. I download it and when I go to install a security screen comes up with my user name. It asks for my password and no matter what I put it won't recognize the password and let me install the player

  • My Macbook Pro won't open Photoshop CS6 ever since I installed OS X Mavericks. What should I do?

    Also, I haven't seen any updates for OS X Mavericks on the app store, though maybe I'm wrong? I'm just really frustrated and disappointed with this update and would be willing to even uninstall it if I knew how.

    Restore disks? If none are included there may be some bad news for you, Im about to install this on my imac but not my macbook air, why? Because I was told laptops work a bit differently than desktops. If a new OS is installed, it will over ride the partition on the hard drive where the old OS was. If that is the case, you cannot revert back unless you completely wipe out your hard drive and reinstall from a disk.

  • 2009 MacBook Pro 15" won't recognize new 1TB Seagate HD to install Leopard OS even though Disk Utilities sees it

    Old Fujitsu 320GB HD died and I just installed a Seagate 1T HD.  Booted to Leopard Install disk on an external optical drive (internal one dead).  Computer doesn't see the Seagate to allow me to install the Leopard OS.  Disk Utilities does list it though.  Does it need to be formatted?  If so, how do I do that?  What else can I do to get the MacBook to register the Seagate onscreen so I can click on it to instruct the OS to install there?

    It needs to be formatted. In the installer, click on Disk Utility. Choose the Seagate drive, Click on Partition Tab in the Right pane, and choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the format. Choose number of partitions as needed.
    You can also use the Disk Utility Help.

  • Windows 7, problems with Photoshop CS2 upgrade install

    I just upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and I seem to have outsmarted myself.  Ever since version 5 I've bought the upgrade... well, now I no longer have the original version 5 disk and can no longer install and use either my CS or CS2 version.  While I do have a backup copy of my old version 5 CD copied onto my hard drive it will not install on Win7 and the CS2 upgrade doesn't recognize the backup as a valid upgrade.
    When I try to install version 5 I get an error message to the effect that it's incompatable with Windows 7.  Trying to install either CS or CS2 and I get a "valid upgrade not found" error... if I let it install anyway in trial mode once it's done installing I get a "trial period is over, enter serial number".  I enter my serial number for the version I'm installing and I get "invalid serial number"  Invalid?  It's the number on the back of the CD case verified 10 times.
    Am I hosed or will I have to go back to Windows XP?  I've paid for the Photoshop CS upgrade and the CS2 upgrade over the years but neither will install and run since I cannot install the last full version I own.
    At the moment I'm having to use my laptop for all my photoshop work since it's still running XP and so it has a functional version of Photoshop.

    It works fine.
    Right click on the "setup.exe" file on the CS2 install disc and then click on "properties", then click on the "compatibility" tab.
    Click on the box for "Run this in compability mode" and in the pull down select "XP sp2".
    Click "apply" and then "ok".
    Now go back to "setup.exe" and click on "Run as administrator" and CS2 should load fine.
