CS3 aliases in Mac OS X.8 application window

I just installed CS6 Master suite update to CS3 Mastersuite on my Mac.  All of the CS3 aliasses are still in the applications window.  I'm assuming if I disable my CS3 I also disable my CS6. Can I move the CS3 programs to a different folder, if not are there any suggustions to clean up having the icons for the extra 14 or so old versions of the programs I wont be using?

Versions exist independently. Removing CS3 won't do anything to CS6 except for perhaps busting up some file associations on your system. Feel free to deactivate and unsinstall it - using the proper uninstaller.

    trying to launch photoshop cs3 on a mac running OS10.6.8 i keep getting the error message: Licensing for this product has stopped working  you cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT adminstrator or Adobe customer support for help
    I already Uninstalled and reinstalled the product and it still does not work.

    Hi,
    Try to uninstall the software again and you have to manually
    Delete the following folders:
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/backup
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
    Go to Applications-->Utilities-->Disk Utility, Open it and Select the MAC HD and then click on Repair permissions.
    After that try to run the cleaner tool as mentioned by kglad.
    Restart machine and then try to install again.
    *** Make sure , you only delete these folders if there is no other adobe applications installed on the machine. As if you have any other Adobe application of the suite ( not free applications ) then it will be a problem.

    after reloading adobe creative suite cs3 on my mac 10.4.11 acrobat will not open any pdfs it previously opened. help!

    hello.   hey, thanks very much for writing back.  i got some good info with a search or two.  (info about what regedit is and what corresponds to it in OS X -- regedit allows you to edit "preference" keys for individual programs,  OSX's equivalent for these keys are the .plists in User & System: Preferences and Application Support)
    what i ended up doing was uninstalling Premiere Pro (not the suite, just PPro).   Then i deleted a few preference files:
    from User /Preferences/Adobe:
    com.adobe.AdobePremierePro.plist
    com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.5.0.plist
    and from System Preferences:
    the file:  Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
    and..
    /.../Premiere Pro/5.0/...
    AMEPrefs.xml     (i noticed that there's also a preference file in Media Encoder's own folder so i didn't sweat this one)
    Debug Database.txt
    Placeholder Preset.epr
    PostEncodeCmds.pref
    PresetCache.xml
    Trace Database.txt
    NOTE:
    of course i don't know if deleting any files beyond the 2 .plist files in User Prefs was necessary, but...  it seems to have worked.
    I then reinstalled Premiere Pro CS5, and fired up an old project and i've got playback of HD and DV files, and snappy editing and rendering,  so hopefully i'm good to go.   I'm just going to stick with v5.0.0 because i actually don't remember ever having any trouble with it, and i don't remember v5.0.4 adding anything i was 'missing' or 'needed'
    hopefully, this thread will be useful for any future folks that run into trouble - and it's got a solution for both Windows and OS X
    happy editing,
    peace

  • I have switched from PC to Mac how do i use my windows version  of adobe photoshop CS3 on my MAC?

    i have switched from PC to Mac how do i use my windows version  of adobe photoshop CS3 on my MAC?

    rebel1568,
    All Photoshop versions through CS6 came with platform-specific licenses, either Windows or PC.  You could get a cross-grade of platform swap at a nominal cost but not for older versions, only for whatever Photoshop versions was current at the time.
    CS3 is totally out of the upgrade or cross-grade loop.  You'd have to buy a new license for CS6 Mac or subscribe to Photoshop CC, as Trevor points out.
    Curt Y is correct in that CS2 will not run on current Mac-Intel machines.  You would need a used Mac G5 or G4 with a PowerPC (IBM) CPU, which have been obsolete since mid 2006.
    Of course, you could run your Windows  on your Mac if you installed and ran BootCamp or Parallells.

  • Why can I no longer open images with Photoshop CS3, running on Mac OS 10.4.11?

    Why can I no longer open images with Photoshop CS3, running on Mac OS 10.4.11?

    You may be able to drag and drop the icons from one toolbar onto another, you can then hide the toolbar that you no longer need. For details on how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

  • Porting CS3 from old Mac OS 10.4.11 to a new iMac using Mac OS 10.8.4?

    I had been using CS3 on a Mac Mini running it on OS 10.4.11. The programs had been installed on one of my two external HD's. I upgraded my computer equipment to a new iMac running OS10.8.4, which also has both of my HD's connected to it. I also am running Acrobat Pro 11.0.03 as a separate, stand-alone program because I was initially under the impression that CS6 had some problems with Mountain Lion that did not include the latest version of Acrobat Pro. So I purchased that program separately and did not purchase CS6.
    When I tried to run the other CS3 programs, I first received a message that Java JRE was not installed. I followed the instructions on the Adobe website and installed Java for my current OS. Now when I attempt to run the programs I get a dialogue box message that says "you cannot use the product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator (that would be me) or Adobe customer support for help."
    Before I go through the process of uninstalling and reinstalling from my disks, I have a couple of questions:
    1. If I go through the uninstall - install steps with my original disks, will the software work under the new Mac OS 10.8.4?
    2. What is the problem that the uninstall - install step is supposed to be solving?
    3. Since I have the newest version of Acrobat Pro already installed, can I avoid installing that particular program if the answer to question #1 is affirmative? Will installing the other components of CS3 corrupt any of the support files for Acrobat 11.0.03?
    Thanks for any assistance.

    CS3 is not supported under 10.8. No matter what you do you're on your own.
    You can buy CS6 but not at an upgrade price or move to Creative Cloud.

  • Opening Canon CR2 files in CS3 on a Mac

    What Camera Raw plug-in do I need to open Canon CR2 files in Photoshop CS3 on a Mac?
    -Please send download link and installation instructions.
    Thanks

    Martha,
    You have not provided any information about how you updated to ACR 4.3 or details about your setup, whether you have purged the Cache through the Tools menu in Bridge, trashed Photoshop and/or preferences, Repaired Permissions, or performed any other maintenance, nor what error message you get or what happens when you try opening your images, nor any information as to the exact version of Photoshop you are running (10.0.1?) as well as the OS (14.0.11 or 10.5.7?).  You really need to post in the Camera Raw forum so that you can browse existing threads and so we can point you to relevant posts.
    Provided the files themselves are not damaged or corrupted, the most common problems are installing the ACR plug-in in the wrong place and not removing the obsolete ACR plug-in that is originally installed by default with Photoshop.
    If you go to the Photoshop menu > About Plug-in > Camera Raw…, you should see only one instance of Camera Raw and it should be 4.6 when you select that menu item.
    If you have any other question, please post in the Camera Raw forum, not here.  A discussion of this nature should be over there, where it can benefit other Camera Raw users, not just you.

  • I'm a beginner of CS3 and a mac user, here I got a question need some help.

    Hi All Masters,
    I'm a beginner of CS3 and a mac user, here I got a question looking for some help.
    Does anyone know there's a work for editing the photo to painting styles such as watercolor painting, oil painting, pastel drawing, colored pencil or pencil sketching in Adobe serials ?
    If not, does anyone know any software offering these features,

    The best overall art styles plugin for PS is probably AlienSkin's SnapArt. I'd say their filters are a cut above Photoshop's which are old and have never been updated.
    http://www.alienskin.com/snapart/snapart_examples.aspx
    That being said, the best painterly interpretations of photographs I've ever seen are done with Painter.
    http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1166553885783#tabview=tab0
    There is a basic version sort of like Photoshop Elements which is still better than Photoshop for artistically rendering photos into 'paintings.'

    Is it fixed?

  • Running CS3 on a Mac that has CS4 on it already

    Due to a glitch in CS4 that scrambles data in a data merge, it's been suggested to do the merge in CS3, (at least till there's a fix for CS4). Can I install CS3 on my Mac that's already got CS4 on it?
    Should I open a new user account on the Mac and put CS3 on it? I already installed CS4 and told it to make it available to all user accounts on the Mac. Will I need to de-install CS4, then re-install, but only for 1 user account?

    Installing CS3 will glitch CS4 and require CS4 to be reinstalled. After that, I expect both to work. It's rare to see people wanting to install older versions when newer versions are installed, so there's less experience. Usually one has CS3, keeps it installed,  then installs CS4. That's what I've got, and both work fine. Worst case scenario is you'll have to wipe CS4, install CS3, then install CS4.

  • Re: install Firefox on Mac; after dragging FF icon to Applications window I can't eject Firefox from menu - is this OK?

    After installing FireFox on Mac by dragging FireFox icon to Applications window you are supposed to hit the control button, click on FireFox within the window and hit eject. I don't have eject as a choice. Is this bad? If so, what do I do?
