  • Adobe CS2 installation failed on macbook air

    I am trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS2 on Macbook air, but when the installation goes the half way, system generates a message, "installation failed, please contact the manufacturer". Could you please help me to resolve the issue. thank you

    Assuming it is not an OS compatibility issue (which it may well be), you would not be able to activate it anyway. The activation servers for CS2 and earlier are dead and gone.
    See the page in the link below. Follow the directions carefully. And see if that works for you.

  • Installation on a Macbook Air, with sounds on separate drive

    Is there a way to install Logic Studio on a Macbook Air so that all the sound libraries and the recordings (and as much of anything else as possible) are on an external HD drive? Space is tight.

    No, you got it. One USB port for Audio interface and the other for the streaming support files. I keep thinking of the 1st gen Macbook Airs with the one USB, sorry. The install is a very lengthy process made longer with the I/O limitations of the Air and USB 2.0 for the external support files. After you start the installer it will make sense with drop down menus for where and what get's copied.

  • CS2 Installation failed on MacBook Air

    I'm new to using this MacBook Air so, can anyone help a girl out?
    A friend suggested I download from TechSpot the free CS2, in doing so, this error has occured: The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.

    CS2 is not free. It is made available by Adobe to existing owners of CS2.
    CS2 will not run on modern Macs such as yours running the OS X Mavericks operating system. CS2 requires OS X 10.2.8 to 10.3.8 (very old)
    Have a look at Photoshop CC (Cloud) or Photoshop Elements 12.

  • TS1388 I'm trying to install Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. Halfway through the installation process, the MacBook Air tells me that I must quit Safari before the installation can continue. As far as I can tell, Safari is closed but I still get the same me

    I'm trying to install Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. Halfway through the installation, the MacBook Air tells me that I must close Safari for the installation to continue. As far as I can tell, Safari IS closed. I can't discover any process that will close it any more than it is now. Installer won't let me shut down or re-start the computer because it (Installer) is still running.
    What am I missing?

    The MS installer seems to think Safari is active so try the following...
    Right-click on the Safari icon in the Dock and if applicable, select Quit.
    or
    Try Utilities > Activity Monitor and look for Safari in the Process Name column.  If present, highlight Safari and then click the Quit Process icon.

  • "Enfernte Mac OS Installation" auf meinem MacBook Air von 10.5 auf 10.6 is frozen

    Hello everybody,
    i just purchased the family lizenz up date to snow leopard to up date my macbook air system to 10.6. I used the remote Mac OS X installation.
    It indicates that it will take 40 minutes and that i should not quit the conection as long as the other device (the macbook air i think" is using the remote disk.
    PROBLEM:
    There is no progress for 5 hours now.
    What can i do?
    Best Regard
    René from Germany, Düsseldorf 7 o´clck in the  morning.

    don't interrupt the process - at least not for another few hours.
    i'm guessing you're using a wireless connection which would explain the five hours so far.
    sit it out, wait until tonight (or even tomorrow morning).

  • Firefox installs on my macbook air but won't open - this is weird because it works fine on my macbook pro and imac

    I have an iMac, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. Until recently Firefox worked fine on them all and was my default web browser. Suddenly and with no other indications, FF wouldn't load on my MacBook Air. The opening sequence commences but hangs up with a "loading" indication. I have tried uninstalling FF with CleanMyMac and reinstalling. All is fine until I attempt to open FF when again I get a hang up with the "loading" indication. FF is still working fine on my iMac and MacBook Pro. Weird or what!

    I have that problem too! Have anyone figure it out?
    Help!!
    ;)

  • CS4 installation on Retina MacBook Pro

    How can I install my purchased copy of Adobe Creative Suite 4 (cd installation) on a Retina Mac Book Pro with no disk drive?  Does Adobe offer an online installation to keep up with the new hardwares without forcing customers to purchase Adobe software again?

    Do you know if there is a way to install my purchase via links using my same serial number?

  • Problem installation Macbook air (2011) with Mac OS 10.6

    I'v got an macbook air, 13 inch with mac os x 10.6.6. And at this moment I've got some troubles with OS X.
    To resolve the problems I want or an clean and fresh install with OS X 10.6 or to set a backup back from my time machine. I lost my USB installation stick, I ordered a new one with apple but it can take a couple of weeks.
    So I first tried a remote install (using the cd player of my windows machine) with a mac os x installation cd 10.6. I can see and start the installation at the beginning but after a while a get a grey screen and I am forced to hold the shut down button.
    I was told it can be because you can only reinstall with mac os x 10.6.4 or higher.
    So I lent the mac os x 10.6.4 install cd (from a macbook pro) and tried again. Same story, after I selected the start up disk after a while I get a grey screen and forced to shut down again.
    Can anyone tell me what goes wrong? How can I get a fresh installation on my macbook air?
    Thanks for your help!

    Can you tell me if the latest version of the macbook air has OS X 10.6.6 installed? Or a earlier version and that I updated, I don't know anymore, with the software updater to 10.6.6?
    Is het posible to get a installation of mac os x 10.6.6? I don't mind to pay again for this. I already ordered a new usb stick, but it can take to a couple of weeks.
    I really want my problems fixed and want to pay when there is a possibility to get a new installation CD or USB quick!
    Thanks for your clear and quick answer!!

  • Can I use CS4 on a MacBook Air?

  • Active CS4 serial number not working on a new MacBook Air

    Im trying to install/activate CS4 on my new MacBook Air and the serial number is being denied. The serial number is a school site number and has worked on my old laptop, just not my new one. Any solutions to fix this issue would be appreciated!

  • Install stalls during initializing - illustrator - Macbook Air 10.7.5

    Ran CC cleaner
    Downloaded CS6 Illustrator file .dmg
    Launched Install
    Installer launches and goes to "Initializing Installer" but it stalls at about 25% and won't progress. I don't get an error, I don't get a message, it just stalls. If I cancel, the installer just freezes and nothing happens until I restart the computer.
    I have 4GB RAM, 12GB of storage, running 10.7.5 on a MacBook Air
    This has happened multiple times, I tried for Photoshop earlier and that didn't work either.

    Kgager I would recommend reviewing your PDApp.log for the error which is causing your installation to fail.  You can find more details on how to locate and interpret the PDApp.log at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.

  • Installing CS4 remotely onto Macbook Air - disc 2 won't launch

    I own CS4 Design Premium and have it installed on my iMac. I just recently bought a MacBook Air laptop and am trying to install it on there as well. However, the MacBook Air doesn't have a CD drive. So, I turned CD Sharing on on my iMac and connected via Remote Disc to the CS4 Installation CD (disc 1) on my laptop. Disc 1 worked fine, but then I was prompted to insert disc 2. So, I removed disc 1 and inserted disc 2 from my iMac, however the prompt doesn't go away. It gives me the options to either click "OK" or "Cancel installation". I clicked OK several times and nothing happened, so my only option was to cancel. Now I'm not sure what to do to get disc 2 installed. When I insert it, no installation is automatically launched...I only see two file folders on the disc....one that says "extensions" and one that says "payloads". Can anyone tell me where to go from here?

    then download the files:
    if you follow all 7 steps, you can dl a trial via one of the links on this page:  http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a dl problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem.

  • How can I copy my CS4 InDesign from my iMac to my Macbook Air

    I need to have a copy of CS4 InDesign which is on my iMac, on my new MacBook Air. Is it possible to do this and if so how?

    Never try to migrate from one computer to another computer, this will not work.
    I doubt that CS4 will run without problems, so you should consider to subscribe to the Creative Cloud.
    If you will try to install it, make an image file with the disk utility of all installer CDs, copy it on an USB stick, mount these installers and install it from there. But you are on your own.

  • Macbook Air 11" i7 corrupt files problem with Adobe Illustrator CS4

    Hi
    this problem may not be entirely related but maybe someone could help anyways or knows how I can proceed...
    I'm running Illustrator CS4 on a Macbook Air 11" (latest 2011 model, with i7, 4GB, 128SSD), and lately some files are getting corrupted. specifically, adobe illusrator CS4 files with weeks of work. interestingly, the time machine backups are also getting corrupted.
    its like I'm working on a file for a few days, backing up with time machine as well
    closes the file, after a few days returns to it… (normal behavior)
    then when i try to get back to the file then sometimes it says "Cant open the illustration, could not complete the operation" and opens a blank canvas.
    restoring the file via time machine also gives the same error (its like all versions get corrupted simultaneously), even 4-5 versions backwards, even though they worked before when the file worked
    it happened quite a few times, ruining weeks of work.
    I tried the following:
    reinstalling CS4 - didn't work
    Opening the files on CS5 - still don't open
    doing the file recovery thing and then opening it in a notepad - didn't work at all
    using Time machine - the files are still corrupt
    it only happenes with AI files, not photoshop files, for example.
    I thought maybe it has anything to do with SSD? since my previous macbook pro (15", 2007) never did these errors…
    please help
    Eido

    If at all, this would be I/O performance and bandwidth issues with Time Machine, but I don't think that's the problem. More to the point I think that it's a case of Preview opening the files to genereate thumbnails and icons and something going wrong there. I'd look up some guides on how to edit the relevant plist and conf files to exclude your AIs or turn off the behavior to generate these previews globally. This may help hugely...
