CS3 Master Collection Installation Tips for Mac G4?

Hi,
I just acquired a copy of CS3 Master Collection, and I'm wondering if I should be aware of any concerns/trouble before installing InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat on my 400MHz PowerPC G4, OS X 10.4.11, 512 MB SDRAM.
I don't currently use the other programs in the collection, like Flash and DreamWeaver. At least, not at the moment.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks, Steve

I'm looking at the Master Collection requirement for Mac and this is
what it says:
1GB of RAM for DV; 2GB of RAM for HDV and HD; more RAM recommended when
running multiple components
The individual apps will install at 512 (256 for InDesign on a PPC) but
the suites and collection all call for at least one gig.

  • CS3 Master collection installation problem on Windows 7 64 bit

    Hi Guys
    Please can you advise
    I am encountering problems with the installation of CS3 Master Collection on Windows 7 64 bit, initially my hard drive crashed and performed a dump.
    Subsequent attempts to install CS 3 has resulted in failure to install 12 components, essentially the individual software products including photoshop, encore, illustrator etc.
    I have re-performed the installation several times with the same installation error.
    I believe CS3 to be compatible with Windows 7 64 bit
    Any thoughts, guidance on how to rectify the problem and achieve successful installation.
    I do have Adobe Reader X and Flash player X already installed. I assume these should not cause an issue with the CS3 installation
    Thxs in anticipation

    Na, you have it all backwards. CS3 is neithe officially tested nor endorsed, certified or supported on W7. Many users still use it succsfully, but there ae no guarantees whatsoever. Furthermore using Acrobat X ma exactly be the problem due to certain PDF components being shared acoss apps and newer versions not being compatible with the old installer. Therefore removing those parts and reinstlling them later is advisable. Beyond hee's a procedure that should work:
    - use the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool
    - install CS3
    - uninstall CS3 via the Add or Remove Programs system control panel
    - install CS3 again
    This convoluted procedure is necessary due to bugs in the installer which otherwise prevent things from working.

  • Switching from Windows to mac, how to get master collection cs5 package for mac instead?

    Purchased Abobe Master Collection CS5 in 2010 and had been using Windows as an operating system since but I'm about to make the switch to OSX. However the download package and serial numbers I purchased are for windows, can I switch to mac download packages and will my serial numbers work for them?
    Thanks,
    Nicholas

    Unfortunately, Creative Suite packages are operating system-specific.  Further, platforem swaps are only supported for the mst recent release which is CS6.  You can read more about the policy thru the link below:

  • Adobe cs 5 master collection Polish language for Mac osx. :)

    looking for a setup file. my cd gat broken. How can I restore the file ?

    ranting is all people are left to do Ned, because getting help from Adobe clearly takes so much effort. Are you an Adobe worker? Are you a specialist? because that is why its a rant because after explaining my problem so many times to so many people via different methods THAT IS WHY IT IS A RANT! because all that is asked is can you please let us know your problem, then that person who clearly doesn't make notes decides to put you on hold via Live chat and then the chat goes dead you have to explain it ALL OVER AGAIN!!!
    So I will explain it in simple terms for you.
    1) That disc is what was bought
    2) When I went to reinstall the product when I moved and after doing a clean up of my Mac it asks for the serial
    3) I entered the serial
    4) The serial worked fine (You know the green tick)
    5) After the hour or so wait to finalize I waited and opened Photoshop
    6) That was the message you see that I got
    7) I the tested another app and I got the same thing.
    After this I contacted Adobe and was on a chat case number 0214839318 which may I ad HAS ALL OF THIS IN DETAIL.
    this of course was NOT the end, I was asked to show proof which is what you can see!
    Oh and Ned guess what....NO HELP!
    There in detail!

  • How do you install the content for CS3 master collection?

    I have installed Adobe CS3 Master Collection on my Mac.
    All the software is loaded and ready to go. There is an extra
    disc that says "content." When I pop it in I'm not prompted to
    do anything. How do I get the "content" to load up? Do I drag
    all of the items onto my boot drive? If so, which folder? Documents?

    The content disk is just a collection of extra stuff for you to peruse. There's a whole bunch of free PostScript OpenType fonts, documentation for all of the applications in PDF format, some help files (like migrating from Go Live to Dreamweaver). Just open the disk and look though it.

  • Advice on books for learning CS3 Master Collection

    I've been trying to learn as much as I can from tutorials and just basic knowledge from around the web.  I am understanding a little as I go, but am thinking that a book or two might help me as well.  I have several sites that I visit from time to time, so I don't need help on that front.  Can anyone give me some advice on what literature I should buy?  I own the CS3 Master collection, and I'm hoping to learn Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Dreamweaver, and maybe other programs related to web design.  I've heard that the bible series is pretty good, but since I'm still considered new I really don't know where to start.  And not sure if this is the place to ask, but as far as web design is concerned, should I also get a book for coding? 
    Sorry if this is a topic that is asked every five seconds, but I've looked around as much as I could and this was literally my last option.  And in case anyone was wondering, I asking in this forum since every time I start off in one program I usually end up in Photoshop, so I assume people who know Photoshop also know some of the other programs, also I didn't really see a forum best suited for my question.  Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

    You would do best to buy individual books for each application.
    Some books try to have an overview of several different applications, but they only give the barest amount of information on each one and are basically useless.
    Some books like the Bible series are extremely large (Photoshop CS3 over 1,200 pages) but don't assume that more is automatically better.
    I think they make some of them big just to impress people looking for an instruction book at their local bookstore.
    The Bible and some other books include a CD of images and give step by step instructions using the supplied images.
    But they really don't explain how the procedures work and why you would likely using this procedure rather than another.
    They basically said, do this, now do that, do another thing, etc.
    The Quick Start Guide series by Peachpit Press dispenses with the hand-holding step by step intructions.
    It explains how and why to do things and has screenshots on every page to show the menus, tools and procedures of actually using Photoshop.
    The Quick Start books just give solid information and are usually much more affordable, which is helpfull if you are buying several books for different applications.
    Peachpit Press also has another series of books, their Real World series. These are larger books but without the CD, etc.
    Over the last 20 years I've had many different books, but in my estimation the Peachpit books are the best of the bunch. Your mileage may vary.
    Since CS3 is rather old, I'm assuming you are looking at Amazon or other online sellers. You might even be able to get some used books through Amazon resellers an a greatly reduced price.
    Good luck.

  • Installing cs3 master collection and cs5 production premium on windows 7 machine

    I have a windows 7 ultimate machine that I would like to install CS3 Master Collection on. I would then like to upgrade the Production Premium programs to CS5.
    I have the install discs for both. Any suggestions for how to go about doing this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Tahseen,
    Thanks for the quick reply!
    Both CS3 Master Collection and CS5 Production Premium are full installs, neither is an upgrade. I have serial numbers for both.
    Machine previously had CS4 Production Premium installed on it, that has been uninstalled.
    Should I install CS3 Master Collection then install CS5 Production Premium? If so, do I need to remove the CS3 versions of programs included in Production Premium before installing CS5 Production Premium?
    Thanks again!

  • CS3 master suite installation complete Finally

    Finally   I Was able to get CS3 Master suite installed . all of it.
    by just doing it one  to two programs at a time. ( or a complete suite) which worked perfectly.
    after months of playing around with this program which was poorly designed as a suite for total installation.
    the installer always would hang up, or if it did complete it would install a shell of the program but not the program.
    so one day i decided to go into the cs3 setup folder and unchecked all the boxes and just installed one at a time. if they were the same suite i would jus do the complete suite.  and this process worked perfectly.
    the licensing went off with out a hitch as each program asks for the license which is called for at the beginig of installation. so far each component works perfectly..
    I just wish Adobe would get its developers together and design an install program that will install with out problems. just like i hear the business one does.
    hope this helps..
    insert DVD.
    do not choose install.
    choose: browse DVD content
    choose: in the right panel choose: adobe cs3  (file folder)
    in right panel choose setup.exe.
    You will see initializing adobe cs3...
    next popup will be"Manage Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection Installer: System Check"
    from this point it will check any adobe products on your system and show you its status,
    *now a box will pop up : choose install \ reinstall.  or remove components.
    Choose install \ reinstall
    another window will popup with check boxes already checked  just uncheck all and chen check one or two at a time ( experiment a little here)
    and install in groups of two or three, or as a single app.
    upon each install ( groups or single) you will be asked to restart, and do so.
    again you wil have to navigate to the folder as before, but this time
    by the time i finished this over a three day period i had all suites installed. ( dreamweaver had already been installed with no problems) and registered most so far. still have a few more registrations to go..
    good luck and you can email me if any questions as i have spent a lot of hours as most have installing, uninstalling, cleaning up and over again.

    I had no idea where to post,
    thanks

    OH a side note. since I had an email address added here ( and now removed because some folks just cannot grow up.)
    (My Government email address was removed from this posting, (which I forgot is added automatically when I respond from work) and to those that spammed me, and said they should, you might just expect a response from a government employee That traces illegal activities like this. AND in case you did not know it is Illegal to post SPAM to a Government agency and its employees.The folks I work for do not take to kindly at that.
    To those that need the info I posted. I hope it works as well for you as it did for us.
