Adobe Photoshop CS & CS3 upgrade issues

I have recently obtained an original disc of adobe photoshop CS and an original disc of adobe photoshop CS3 upgrade to install on my Imac which is running lion at the moment, only to be told that power pc programmes are no longer recognised. I was intending to install the original Photoshop CS and then upgrade it to CS3, however due to this issue i cant install the original disc.
I have read that if i revert back to snow leopard then i would be able to install these programms without issue, but the question is then if i then update the OS system to lion, would the updated version of photoshop CS3 still work, being on the back of CS? or would it stop working?
If this updated programme does not work, am i better having a partitioned disc just to run snow leopard and to use photoshop, and if this is the case would i be able to access all saved images and files when running the lion side of the partition in order to sync these with i cloud and my ipad?
regards

The bootable Snow Leopard partition is the way I would do it.
Borrowed from Kappy,
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. After formatting is complete quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard being sure to select the external drive as the target.
Note that you will need a Snow Leopard DVD. The above will only work for you if you can boot your computer from a Snow Leopard DVD. If you have a new model that came with Lion pre-installed then the above will not work because a Snow Leopard retail DVD cannot boot your model.
Then install your CS and CS3 and run them in SL. If the images are stored in a seperate drive/partition then it should work seamlessly.

CS3 Upgrade Issue

Hi, I have just bought CS3 to upgrade photoshop CS, it has install ok on my MAC (10.5.2) and will work in trial mode no problem.
When I type in my photoshop CS code that I'm upgrading from, it tells me that the code is incorrect!
I have used this copy of CS no problems on my last MAC and installed it on my new MAC last week and everything works fine including the serial no.
Any Ideas?

are you entering all 24 digits of your old serial?
if you are still having problems call customer service they have a way to do it if you were sent the wrong upgrade package

Can't install CS3 Upgrade on NEW iMac 24". An Imac DVD drive issue?

My CS3 Design Premium Upgrade CD fails to install Photoshop on my BRAND NEW iMac yet it is able to install everything else on the CS3 disc. I just bought this iMac yesterday and CS2/CS3 Upgrade are the FIRST things I installed (besides updates) when I turned it on. I'm still using 10.4.10.
I searched through the Adobe forums and the internet as to how others with the same issue have dealt with the problem, but it seems the most common reason is that people had installed Photoshop CS3 beta previously as well as older Flash/Acrobat plug-ins conflicting with the installation process. Further, these causes seem to be effecting Windows users.
So a few hours ago I tried to COPY the upgrade CD contents to my hard disk, I get the message:
"The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'AdobePhotoshop 10en_US.dmg' could not be read or written. (Error code -36)."
This procedure of copying to the disk (and the resulting error message) is SPECIFICALLY addressed in the Adobe support pages TechNotes:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401429&sliceId=2
The page says that it may be a drive issue that is causing the problem. Of the 7 possible solutions given on the page, I've narrowed it down to only 1 option left (but I can't try it since I don't have another Mac!):
"*Solution 4*: Copy the software to the hard drive of a different computer.
*If the software copies successfully, the model of DVD drive on your original computer might not be able to read the DVD. Contact the DVD drive or computer manufacturer for any updates that might be available.*"
But what's funny (or annoying rather) is, I had a 20" Alum 2.4 iMac earlier this year (returned because of screen problem), and the CS3 upgrade installed without any problems on it!..??? And according to the iMac specs, the 20" and 24" models both have the same DVD drive make right?
Any ideas??? Are there other 24" iMac users who are experiencing similar problems? If not, then I guess I may have to return yet another iMac...which I'm reluctant to do since this screen is PERFECT! I'm scared to get another iMac with the dreaded screen gradient issue.

I just solved the problem.
I tried copying the DVD files to the hard disk about 7-8 more times. The last try SUCCESSFULLY copied to the disk and I was able to install Photoshop CS3.
Yay.

I have CS2 and would like to do Image Stacking. I understand CS3 allows this. correct? Am I wiser to purchase CS3 upgrade. Am I going to run into issues with install?

Well, I refuse to sign up to pay Adobe a monthly tribute for life too, but that doesn't mean we are limited to CS3.
I'm staying with CS6.
Adobe still sells a perpetual-license to Photoshop CS6 without the subscription model, but it's $700 for the Standard version and a cool $1,000 for the Extended version.
You haven't mentioned your platform, Macintosh or Windows, so make sure CS3 or any other obsolete version you buy actually runs on a modern operating system.
Good luck.

CS3 upgrade - installation issues

Hello there,
I recently purchased a second hand copy of Adobe CS2 Standard with a CS3 upgrade.
Filled in a transfer of licence that went through.
Anyway I was advised to install CS2 first before the CS3 so I did this but when I went to install CS3, I faced this problem:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/627206/Picture%208.png
It will only allow me to tick the install Adobe 8. The rest shows up as 'already installed.'
I have tried uninstalling all the adobe products, using app cleaner and installing on the CS3.
But still no luck.
Called Adobe support but they said they no longer support CS3.
Grr.
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi, thank you for your quick response!
I tried that several times but still not working...
I am working in CS2 for now but when I open any illustrator files I created in CS3, it corrupts it.
Scary stuff!
Pleaaaase help!

Installing CS3 Upgrade On New Laptop That's Not Had Full Install

Frustrated!
Got a new laptop for Christmas. OS is Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
My original full is Version 5, which has been upgraded to 5.5 - 6 - 7 - CS2 & CS3.
CS3 upgrade is currently installed on my desktop machine running Window XP SP2.
I'm trying to install on my new laptop as my 2nd install, but the installation keeps failing!
With each attemt I expect to be asked to stick the original install disc (version 5) to verify but that does not happen, it never asks for it!
I have tried both Run as administatror and also in XP compatibility mode with zero results.
Am I going to need to install the full version 5 and then go through installing upgrades until I get to CS3? I'm trying to avoid all that time if possible!

Near as I can tell you haven't named one specific error message in all your posts above.
Could you be a little more specific about what's going wrong when you say:

You've leapt to the conclusion that it's a problem with the software being an upgrade; I'd like to confirm that, that's all.
By the way, there were problems with even Photoshop CS5 working on some AMD processors up until an update was released (well after the initial release of PS CS5)... Not sure if this has anything to do with what you're doing, but if even more modern versions of Photoshop didn't get along with AMD processors there could be a compatibility issue... Did Photoshop CS3 specifically claim compatibility with the type of AMD processor you have, or is there too much of a time difference between them?

CS3 upgrade wont accept older serial number in stage 2 :(

Hi folks,
I have been happily using Photoshop CS for years and then got a retina with Mavericks...
So I had to up the ante but since I couldn't afford CC or CS5+ I got myself CS3 on eBay. Now- it was sold as "full retail" but turns out is only an upgrade but with serial number et al. No HUGE problem as I did have my Photoshop CS serial number and unboxed disk still. Or so I thought.
But it works fine to install and even to trial, but when I get to the point of my CS serial number to "upgrade" from it doesn't like my CS serial number. Meaning- I cannot upgrade!
What could the matter be? My CS serial number is fine and it does work fine on my older Mac running CS still, just not on either Mac (both the retina and the older Mac which I tested just to rule out the retina not acknowledging CS) to upgrade to CS3.
Also- I would like to register CS3 even though it is only an upgrade but it is already registered. IS there provision for owners of preowned Photoshops? I do have the bonafide disk, complete with workshop and box etc.

I just got my transcript from the chat where I am told I cannot be helped with my issue with the CS3 upgrade because I haven't been able to register the serial/licence to myself and where I signed off after apologising to the operative for wasting their time only to find that they had tagged this mysterious bit at the end, after I closed the window:
*bleep* :But in case of the upgrade cs3 serial number , sometimes there are trouble to unlock it .
*bleep* :so we need to unlock the serial number in the different way.
Obviously I cannot now ask what on earth that means.
Wee Moan Alert: I am so stressed by this as the whole reason for this is that my beloved MacBook Pro died on me just ten days after having been "repaired" by the local Apple "mechanic" and they suspect that this time it is the motherboard or logic board which made it uneconomical to repair and I had to stump out for a new retina which can only run Mavericks and Mavericks requires CS3 upward, has no Super Drive and "outdated" any of my non-native software so that this has been EXCEEDINGLY expensive.
I didn't WANT to upgrade CS (I like it- it is familiar and NEVER let me down) but had to so thought that at least buying a bonafide second-hand (full retail) version would be the best of both worlds- genuine (I like genuine and have more ancient boxed software than is sane) AND not going to break me financially (blood and stones, blood and stones!). /end moan

Requirements for Special Offer (CS3 Upgrade or Full Version?)

Hello,
I'm thinking about upgrading from CS6 to Creative Cloud and have a question regarding the requirements for the special offer. On the website it says "Requires prior purchase of CS3 or later" and I'm wondering if I need a full version of CS or an upgrade? I have a Photoshop 6 (Full Version) and a "Design Standard CS3 Upgrade" - is this enought to qualify for the special offer?
That would also mean, I could sell my independet upgrade-packages of CS5 and CS6, since I would not have a need for them if I keep the CC-subscription.
Thanks
Jan

Piotr,
Based on Dec9's comment, it sounds like an upgrade.
However, you state:
had the licence transferred to me.
Did the seller furnish you with the "official" Adobe license transfers. There is paperwork involved, and did you get that? What does it say? Adobe makes it easy for a seller to transfer a license legally to another, and there is necessary paperwork involved. You should be, first able to see how Adobe noted the software, and if there is confusion, then will have something to use, when you contact Adobe C/S on licensing/Activation issues. Or, you'll have paperwork to use against the seller when you contact eBay.
Good luck,
Hunt

Report generation toolkit upgrade issues

I have created multiple vi's in that utilize the previous report generation toolkits specifically using the Generate Report Get Data to Modify.vi and the Generate Report Set Modified Data.vi. Obviously the report reference has now changed in 8.6's version of the report generation toolkit and these vi's do not exist in the 8.6 library anymore. What vi's do I need to replace these functions with to make this code work. Can anyone tell me what the work around is to solving this problem. This is a picture of the code.

Hi BJD1613,
The Report Generation VIs on the LabVIEW Palettes mutate properly. However, you may run into upgrade issues if VIs distributed with LabVIEW, but not available in the Palettes are used in the code. Hence, I would caution against using them for the same reason.
In this case, the specific references do exist in the report generation classes; however, since they are private, they cannot be accessed by VIs outside the respective classes. A temporary workaround for now is mentioned in the following KB 4OOCSJ4M Getting References in Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.3 with LabVIEW 8.6.
This was reported to R&D (CAR# 123064) for further investigation

Can CS3 upgrade be used for 6.5?

Hi i'm currently using AE 6.5 pro(mac) and wondering if i can buy the CS3 upgrade version for it? I went down to the software store recently and the sales guy said i would need the full retail version because the CS3 upgrade needs at least AE7 installed.
Hope someone can help me on this and thanks!

The sales guy was incorrect. You can upgrade from version 5 upwards with current upgrade pricing.
You can upgrade from AE 6.5 Pro to AE CS3 for US $299.
You can upgrade from AE 6.5 Pro to CS3 Production Premium bundle for US $1199.

I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on a new ASUS ASM11BB001O computer equipped with 64-bit Windows 7. I use a "bundle" approach, first loading Photoshop 6, then upgrading with CS upgrade and then CS3 upgrade. The installation goes smoothly until I add PS CS, and then it balks at the "accept" Adobe conditions screen. I have two other (Gateway) computers with Windows 7, 64-bit, on both of which the PS-6, CS-CS3 pathway worked fine. Any thoughts on how to get this working? Thanks

If your goal is to install and activate CS5 there is no need to install anything preceding it. You will only need to have the serial number from the preceding version that you upgrade from (CS3 I guess).

Upgrade issues list needed

Hi,
We're currently on 4.6b and going to upgrade to ECC6 with unicode I'm trying to compile a list point taken care converting to unicode from ABAP technical point of view. Does anyone have such a list?
Some points i shortlisted are :
1) Use GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD rather than WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD.
2) Structures or table headers that contain non-character data need to be identical when moving, comparing, selecting into, updating from, etc.
3) OPEN DATASET filename IN TEXT MODE FOR INPUT ENCODING DEFAULT.
I know there are others. Any help would be appreciated.
