Flash application missing from CS3 Design Premium disk,OSX?

Does anyone know if the Flash application is missing from the CS3 Design Premium disk,OSX? I installed all the programs a while ago and never opened the Flash program. Now, when I do, I can't open the application. There are other folders for Flash, but no application. It seems that it is missing. I tried to reinstall it from the original disk, but the installation is interrupted by a message that asks that the Fireworks CS4 disk be inserted. I had downloaded a trial Fireworks CS4, but do not have a disk. I uninstalled Fireworks ( according to adobe's instructions) and tried to install Flash again, but keep getting the same 'Fireworks CS4 disk be inserted' message. Does anyone know anything about this? Any help would be appreciated!

Yes, you unisntall the whole suite. It only uninstalls the programs, any user data and configuration is unaffected. If you wanan back it up, regardless, check your Users:You:Preferences:Adobe and Users:You:Documents folders and copy the stuff there toi a safe location.

I installed CS3 Design premium upgrade yesterday onto my new mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. You gave me a new serial number. I have been able to open Photoshop, Bridge, Dreamweaver and Flash. The Illustrator, Indesign and Acrobat applications are not in my applications folder although there are folders in there with those names containing associated items. How can this have happened and what can I do?

CS3 Design Premium disks

My Mac recently got a new hard drive and when I tried to reinstall my Design Premium CS3 programs off the disks nothing happens. It sits there trying to read it but ends up spitting it back out. I'm wondering if Adobe helps out someway in these cases. I have the serial number and all, just can't get the programs off the disks. Help?

If the computer does not accept your disc, it most probably means that there is a problem with your disc or disc drive. Let us wait to see if there are other opinions on this thread.

CS3 Design Premium won't install - Asking for CS4 disk 1

I own both CS3 Design Premium and CS4 Production Premium on my iMac with Snow Leopard. Mac OS X 10.5.8
I have all CS4 programs installed. I only have Dreamweaver installed on CS3.
I need to use InDesign and tried to install from CS3 Design Premium disk. After disk one runs for a short time, the program asks me to insert disk 1 from CS4 Production Premium. After reading that disk, it asks to put CS3 disk 1 in. These messages continue and I can't get anywhere.
Anything I can do? Uninstall both programs and reinstall?
Thanks

Inserting the disks over a dozen times a piece finished the installation.

CS3 Design Premium in Windows 7

Hi,
Bought a new computer with Windows 7.
I lost my "CS3 Design Premium for Windows" installation disk.
So, I downloaded the installation file from Adobe site, extracted it & burned in a DVD as how it supposed be in the Adobe supplied DVD.
When I run the "setup.exe", the wizard appears.
I selected Acrobat Professional & Dreamweaver to install in default location "C:\Program Files\Adobe".
Next screen, it displays the components to be installed & I clicked the next button.
A pop up window displays that "Please insert Adobe CS3 Design Premium disk".
I've gone through another thread in this forum & tried to install all the listed applications of Adobe CS3.
Still no luck.
I need to install Acrobat in the said computer.
Please advise!
Thanks in advance!

CS3 Design Premium Creative Suite Replacement Media/Disk

I have CS3 Design Premium Creative Suite running on one office computer and need to install on another. Unfortunately I misplaced the disk making it impossible to install again. I am looking for replacement media. I need the actual disk to use on the other computer. Adobe is only shipping CS5 and told me to upgrade as they dont have any CS3 CDs available. I have a volume license allowing me to install on several computers so all I need is a new disk to install with. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A NEW OR WORKING COPY OF CS3 DESIGN PREMIUM, I just need the disk, doesnt matter if the license is used up because I have my own.
Any help or guidance would be great.
Thanks in advance.

I may be able to help you, but you'll need to cover the expenses.

Cannot install dreamweaver cs3 design premium on iMac

I purchased a new iMac and used the migration assistant to migrate everything from another iMac and now I cannot open dreamweaver anymore. I just get a blank error box.
Both iMacs are intel based and are running 10.2.7 (latest OS) and I never had any issues with dreamweaver on the other computer.
Since I can't afford the $1000 to upgrade my CS3 Design Premium, I need to get this working. I can open all other CS3 apps with no problems, Photoshop, InDesign, Flash.. but Dreamweaver has the error box popup.
I tried calling but Adobe doesn't provide support for their products after a new product version is released, according to Rajish the customer service rep.
I tried installing from the disk too, but that didn't work either, it gives me an error that says "Required resources are missing" and then I have to click the Quit button.
So I'm stuck, I can't use Dreamweaver unless I can somehow re-install it, or figure out what didn't migrate properly. Any ideas?
*stressed out... and chocolate is not helping....

Cyberious are you using 10.7.2 or 10.2.7? Most likely it is an issue with using the Migration Assistant. For complicated programs like Adobe products it is best to do a fresh install instead of migrating the product over. Users who use the Migration Assistant often face issues such as yours.
You have a couple different options:
The first and easiest would be to format and reinstall the OS on your new Mac. Then run the Migration Assistant again this time only bringing over your documents and settings. You will then want to reinstall the software from your installation media.
Second you can try running the uninstaller located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers. After this is done you will want to run the CS5 Cleaner tool. For details regarding how to use and obtain the cleaner tool I would recommend reviewing CS5 Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html. You can then again install from the installation media.
I honestly would recommend going with option 1. In the over decade and half I have been doing support some of the worst issues have come from the use of Migration Assistants/EZ Setup solutions. I have seen people literarily spend hours trying to resolve their difficulties.

CS3 Design Premium installation fails many times

Hello,
After several weeks of repeating re-installation of CS3 Design Premium, I am still struggling on it and get more frustration on Adobe products. I installed the CS3 products 2 year ago; all products on CS3 suddenly stopped working anymore for some reasons 3 months ago. I couldn't recall what I had done. I was not in hurry to fix it up even I failed on the re-installation at that time. However, I need to work on a web site recently. I need the software badly and couldn't re-install it successfully.
I could only install Acrobat 8 professional successfully, but the rest of products (Dreamweaver, Photoshop, AI, InDesign, Flash, Bridge etc...) failed.
Product: Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium (that runs on Windows Vista Home Premium SP2)
My steps for the re-installation
1) Dig up information from Adobe Knowledgebase for related topics
2) Uninstall CS3
3) Uninstall Adobe related products
4) Uninstall Macromedia Firework 8
5) reboot
6) Install Windows Clean up utilty
7) Run Adobe CS3 clean up script on level 4 (sometimes run more than once)
8) Reboot
9) Check sufficient spare disk storage before installation
10) Disable Firewall
11) Run msconfig to disable AVG, Adware and Windows Defender
12) Reboot
12) Copy Adobe DVD programs to desktop
13) Run CS3 install program as an administrator
14) fail again
I lost many days and nights of hard work. Would someone please give me some light to resolve the problem? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Patrick

I have the very same problem. I have not been able to run CS3 Web Premium on my desktop for about a year.
As I recall, there was a request for me to register the software which I selected 'Remind me later' or something to that effect (I do have a clean license - just didn't want to take the time to register), then... one day it said something like 'This version (or something tothat) can no longer function without a license'. I thought... that's odd. At that point I decided to uninstall the Suite and reinstall using my key... logical, right? No. The uninstall appeared to function as it should. Then, when reinstalling the Suite, all goes well until the last screen which notifies me that everything loads except Acrobat Professional 8. Uninstall again, reinstall again.
Initially, I was running Vista Home Premium. I honestly thought Vista was the culprit but after my upgrade to 32 bit Windows 7 Ultimate (very stable) a day ago, I know that it wasn't. All I know is that I have a $1400 software that I cannot use.
Thoughts? Anyone?

CS3 Design Premium deinstalled but not deactivated

I reinstalled Windows 7 and CS3 Design Premium (the Windows disk died) without deactivating CS3. I have reinstalled Windows and CS3 and now I can't activate/register because the activation limit has been exceeded. Phone activation has been discontinued. I have followed the helpx.adobe.com instructions many times, but the internet remedies recommended by Adobe don't seem to work.
Can anyone help with advice on where I should go to from here to get my CS3 working again? How can I get Adobe to deactivate the now non-existent copies.

You need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your CS3 activation count (don't ask for more than that). Chat may not be available until the weekend passes.

Installing update to CS3 Design Premium

I had to replace a hard drive and start again. My old one ran Mac OSX 10.4.6, now the new one runs 10.5.6 (Leopard). I had no problem re-installing Adobe CS3 Design Premium from the original disks, but when Adobe Updater later came on to update the whole thing, a message box said it would take two and a half hours or so. It's been more like 16 hours, and I finally told it to quit. It seems to hang on Adobe Illustrator update 13.0.1, after having gone through a good deal of the updating. Once during the process, I quit and had it begin again when the computer was restarted. It then began with that Adobe Illustrator update, and went for hours, not seeming to get anywhere. I do seem to be able to run all the programs, but I'd like to think I could get the updates. Any suggestions?

by "update manually" I assume you mean update the specific program
with a specific update file for that program, rather than the entire
update suite download & install. funny to think anything is "manual"
on the computer. get inside there and move the bytes around by hand,
but I think I'm too big for that. (just being playful here). I
actually tried doing the Illustrator 13.0.2 update (I'm currently
running 13.0) by itself, and it didn't even begin to work. Now I'm
trying the 13.0.1 by itself, and the first thing that came up is
"Installing: FlattenS," whatever that is -- but after 15 minutes now,
the bar hasn't even begun to fill in with any progress actually
happening. I did get ALL other updates to the creative suite 3 design
premium installed. So it's only Illustrator. I've also tried with
"root user" enabled and with "root user" disabled. Any other ideas?

Trying to load CS3 Design Premium on a new machine; it's blocked by system check.

I'm trying to load CS3 Design Premium on a new laptop. The system check is preventing InDesign from loading. It inaccurately indicates I don't have great enough resolution. Does anyone have a workaround?
I have a PC running Windows 7 OS.
I've done the following:
Adjusted the resolution to maximum resolution and also to the value Adobe recommends. Both without success.
Used Adobe cleaner, restarted, and tried to reload. No luck. InDesign and Illustrator are still prevented from loading due to resolution ((1024 X 768).
Ideas, tips, and workarounds appreciated!

Jane, please turn off the autoquote in you email when replying.
I've installed it on two CS3 win 7 machines with wide-screens without incident. Are you running the installer from disk or a download? The CS3 installers was pretty finicky, as I recall, and you may need to perform a "clean boot" to get it to work. See How to perform a clean boot to troubleshoot a problem in Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista

Reinstalling Acrobat 8 Pro from CS3 Design Premium, asking for Photoshop Elements 6 CD??

Hi.
I use a Macbook Pro with Leopard OS X version 10.5.8, 2.6 Ghz Intel Core Duo, $ GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
I use Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium which came with Acrobat 8 Professional. Now, for a while I've been having issues updating Acrobat because it said it had been modified blah blah and something about plugins being disabled, so to rectify reinstall and run updates. I've seen alot of people on forums with this same issue.
For a long time I ignored this as the program was still working, but today it urked me enough to unistall (which I did by dragging it from the applications to trash) and try to reinstall.
So I tried. Put the CD in, selected only Acrobat 8 Pro for reinstallation, all went well until it asked me to put in the Photoshop Element 6 CD.... which I never had. Although the program does come on the CD. So i'm left confused, without acrobat pro and wishing i had never uninstalled!
I hope this makes some sort of sense. Any help would be much appreciated!

I resorted to using the live chat feature that Adobe have on the website. We found that once everything was uninstalled and then just reinstalled Acrobat alone, I wasn't asked to insert the Photoshop Elements 6 CD to continue and everything was fine. No problems. But, when I tried to then reinstall the rest of the suite, it asked for the CD.
So, the way to avoid it asking for the CD was to uninstall CS3 Design Premium completely and then reinstall all the programs. And everything seems to be working fine.
Maybe this was an obvious solution, but I didn't want to risk uninstalling all the programs only to be asked for a non-existent CD when reinstalling.
Anyway, hopefully someone else will find this helpful.
