CS5.5 Install on macbook air

I have an iMac that I have installed CS5.5 on via Disk.. just purchased a Macbook air which does not come with a disk drive.
I have tried the remote disk reader to install CS5.5 however due to the copywright I am unable to do so..
I can no longer download CS5.5 as a trial to enter my serial into.. How else do I install CS5.5 without purchasing the separate CD/DVD reader? or is there no other way?

Thanks Jeff and Vikrant
I attempted the Remote CD option again and it worked perfectly fine .. might have been some tired eyes looking at it last night...
Thanks for your help.

How can I install my CS5 onto my MacBook Air?

How can I install my CS5 onto my MacBook Air? I have my serial number, but I can't find anywhere to download the program on the Adobe site. The physical CDs are useless w/MacBook Air.
Thanks!
Emily

The physical disks are OK with MacBook Air if you buy a cheap external DVD drive and connect via USB. That's how I install DVD software on my MacBook Air.
That said, you can download the software from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
Follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first otherwise the links won't work.

Installing CS5.5 on MacBook Air

I purchased CS5.5 for my MacBook Pro a couple of years ago, and I'm thinking of buying a MacBook Air sometime soon. Is it possible to transfer CS5.5 from my old laptop to the new one (without a CD drive on the MacBook Air?)

You can't use migration or copy files from computer to computer with Adobe applications.
First, deactivate your copy of CS5.5 on your old computer (open an application and choose Help > Deactivate).
Then download a clean copy of CS5.5 and install on your MacBook Air.

Re-installing Photoshop CS5 on new Macbook Air Says license key is invalid.

I am moving software from my MACBook Pro to a new MACBook Air and when I installed CS5 it told me that my license key is invalid. Its a good license and I don't know why this message is coming up.
Thoughts?
Rick

you need to double check the program/suite name that you purchased.
you can check your account if you purhased from adobe, https://www.adobe.com/account.html
otherwise, adobe support may be able to tell your product name given your serial number,

Need help installing CS5 on my Macbook Air i5 with Lion OS?

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I am trying to install CS5 on my new i5 macbook air which runs lion. When I connect my external hard drive to install the disc the disc does not even show up on the desktop. I know the drive is fine because I tested it with another disk and the icon show up fine for installation. Not sure what is going on but, guessing it is a conflict with lion. Please help?
thanks

I think you would have better luck with an external DVD player/recorder. Have you tried dragging the file from the external hard drive to your desktop and then installing?

Cs3 problem installing on Macbook Air

I am tring to install my copy of CS3 onto a new Macbook Air running OS X 10.8.2
I get this error message soon after starting the install.
"Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance".
I have tried to install from the DVD via Air Disc. I copied the DVD to a memory stick and tried to install that way too. Same error both times.
I called Adobe help and they said that they couldn't offer advice as the software was too old. The guy did recommend trying to install under a new user account. Same error message again.
I don't want to have to buy a new version that I don't really need. Has anyone got any ideas or advice.
Thanks in advance,
Wayne van Wijk

Please stop copying the install files from one computer to another. The issues you are currently experiencing is primarily caused by the use of the Migration Assistant you posted in message #3.
I would recommend you try the following steps:
Run the uninstallers which may be available in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.
Run the CS Cleaner tool to verify the required files have been removed - CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
Reinstall from the installation files copied to a USB drive using a computer which does have an optical drive.
If you continue to face difficulties then the most expedient option would be to format, run the Migration Assistant only for documents and settings, and then reinstall from the USB drive. I have seen users spend hours and days trying to recover from the use of the Migration Assistant or some type of transfer solution from one computer to another. Our applications function best if they are installed cleanly from the installer.

Transferring Illustrator CS5 discs to MacBook Air

Hi. I have Illustrator CS5 on my Mac laptop. Now I have a MacBook Air and I am wondering if there is a way to install it to the Air. Thanks!

Installing on Macbook Air 4,2 - why can I not get this done?

I am trying so desperately to install Arch and dual-boot on my Macbook Air. I'm not an Arch noob - I promise. I've installed and loved arch on my old laptop a couple years back but that was not a mac.
I've been here but all it says is that this "works out of the box". Unfortunately, I can't get that far.
I flashed Archboot to my USB thumb stick using DD and booted into it using ReFind. I can't remember what the first option was, but I believe it was Arch-something with EFI. I chose that and I got an error message:
Failed to open file: boot\intel-ucode.img
Trying to load files to higher address
Failed to open file: boot\intel-ucode.img
So, I chose the second option which says (I'm sorry, I'm in my OSX right now so I'mg telling this from memory) something like Arch-something without EFI. Then I got to the actual install console. I created some partitions using cgdisk and chose my packages but they all failed to install due to a dependency missing. I'm really sorry I don't know what that error was. After I post this I will go back and try again and see if I Can get a screen shot.
Anyhow - This is nothing like my install was on my old PC laptop and I feel like I'm not even sure if I'm going down the right path. Does anyone know of a youtube video which shows this process? Honestly, as much as I've used Arch in the past, I truly feel like a dumbass right now but I'm willing to risk my reputation for a rig that runs the sweetest Linux there is.
Thanks -
Whatever you need, logs, etc... no problem - but tell me where to get them because I'm not sure how to with my system in limbo like this.

Alright, only problem is that the beginner's guide talks about entering things at a prompt - like "# sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sda". i'm not at a prompt. I'm in the GUI Archboot console. Also, I don't see instructions on which partitions to create, what size to make them, etc.. and, I still don't know why the original option in Archboot failed - the one that prompted me that it could not find boot/intel-ucode/img. It's not that I haven't read the documentation and it's also not that I'm too stupid to figure it out - I feel like I'm on the wrong track. For example, the Beginner's Guide doesn't even mention instructions for Archboot - which is what I'm using. By the way, thank you for your response. I don't want to sound ungrateful

Did you have buggy Mavericks issue after installing on Macbook Air Mid 2012?

Before I have upgraded my OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 to Mavericks 10.9 it runs so smoothly and no issues or hanging that I encounter. But just this morning when I installed Mavericks, I have the following issues:
1.) When I was adding a book(pdf and epud files) in iBook, the Finder malfunctioned, coz when I browse the books to it's location so I can add some more again, the Sidebar icons disappeared and only the names left. And when I go to the location of the files using Finder, the content is nowhere to be found, just a symbol on the window’s status bar that it is loading or busy on something.
2.) When I go to the Launchpad, when I scroll to left and right to find the apps I’m looking using the touchpad, it's not as smooth as before. It tends to halt on sliding to the other groups of apps, seems like there’s a friction stopping it from sliding smoothly all the way to the next group of apps.
3.) Updating the Apps from App Store seems cumbersome like the iPhoto and iMovie, coz when the internet fails or drops its signal for a while or so, you go back and download everything again, and when you hover the mouse to see the progress of the downloaded app, it shows for example 22mb of 1gb then shifted to 300mb of 1gb then back to 22mb of 1gb then back again. It’s not accurate and going berserk.
4.) And I don't know if it is just me, but the screen profile have changed a bit coz the red color of the Power Point icon seem too red and everything that has a hint of red color seems exaggerated, it’s too bright red. I'm just not sure it might be the GUI style of the Mavericks. . .
Anyway, have any of you experienced these kinds of issues on your Macbook Air Mid 2012?
Hopefully this could be fixed and Apple would seed an update in no time.

Even on my MacBook Pro Haswell (2013) 15 inch retina with a GT 750 2gb.
The Things in Mavericks that really make me :
1. The Launchpad is buggy when i scroll to the left or right... sometimes it doesn't even respond at all.
2. Safari and Other Apps Like AppStore freez sometimes, and i need to force quit everytime, because its not           responding.
3. Bootcamp Windows 8.1 <---- NOT 8 Support (Bad Keyboard- Facetime camera- drivers,
    Icons (brightness, sound) are ugly on retina screen) + GPU Drivers i can't update (maybe that's normal).
4. iTunes is very SLOW when Scrolling the Albums (i know its 2880x1800 and that's heavy for GPU) But it's just     not a good 'Experience'.
5. Gaming its realy good on this MacBook, but please make the drivers better, i know this GT 750 GPU can do           better.

Can't install on Macbook Air

Hi adobe, i can't install some adobe products.
These includes Photoshop, creative clouds and any trial!
i already contacted the chat.
OS X v10.8.4
hd details: SSD 128GB:
Cap:    120,34 GB (120.338.849.792 bytes)

I translated some word because i have the Dutch version of my iOS.
for some reason no Adobe product other than flash and the other known ones won't install on a Case-sensitive harddrive.
Can this be solved without resetting the entire stuff?
Or is it possible for adobe to make a update on this?
I don't understand why you would make these restrictions on installation!
Edit:
If i need to reinstall my entire stuff, how do i do that with a macbook air which hasn't got a cd/dvd drive?
I also guess it deletes my entire HD?
Any help is well accepted!
i would love to buy/use the PS trial to see wheter i want to buy it or not.

No, Adobe software doesn't support case-sensitive drives:
Error "Case-sensitive drives not supported" or similar install error | Mac OS
You will have to fully reformat/ reinitialize your system and reinstall OSX from scratch. And it's not an enforced restriction, Apple's APIs for this are simply too unreliable and Adobe doesn't use them.

HT5634 Boot Camp support drivers install unsupported MacBook Air 11inch

I successfully installed WIndows 7 64bit from a USB on my 2013 MacBook Air 11inch and it seems to function properly. When I tried to install WIndows support software I keep getting "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this compter model" message. The Boot Camp support site states that this install is supported using Boot Camp 5 (which is the version I used). I've found a few workarounds on-line that mention doing something via the disc in the CD/DVD drive, but I didn't go that route so I am unsure how to proceed. Anyone have any guesses on how to make this work?

This sounds weird to me. I just installed 64x on your model macbook air at work today and everything went off with out a hitch. Perhaps you could try to redownload the drivers from boot camp assistant? I have had issues occasionally with boot camp drivers and redownloading usually works out for me.
Best,
Stuart-

Leopard cannot be installed on MacBook Air

I have not been able to install Leopard on my MacBook Air because of an error message "Mac OS X cannot be installed on "Macintosh HD", because this disk cannot be used to start up your computer." I have gotten this message when trying to install Leopard via remote disk. I used the disk utility to run a disk repair and no problems were found. I am not sure how to resolve this problem.

Do you have the Ethernet attachment for the MBA? If so, the Install will go much faster.
1. Insert the Snow Leopard Install Disk into the remote computer (if the remote computer is not running Leopard, first insert the original disk that came with your MBA and install the Remote Disk app, if you haven't already).
2. Attach by Ethernet cable.
3.Turn off Airport on both computers, and activate Remote Install OSX on both computers. This is found in Applications/Utilities. Follow the instructions.
4. ON Restart hold down the Option key.
Sorry if you've done this already, but if you haven't, give it a try.

Photoshop CS5 Bugs on MacBook Air Fixed in Mountain Lion

Hey all,
I was pretty frustrated last November when I bought a new Macbook Air and experienced weird behavior in Photoshop CS5. Brushes would stop working. Tool icons would freak out. This was discussed at length on the boards, and Chris from Adobe said everyone at Adobe and Apple were aware of the issue due to video card incompatibilities (?) and Lion.
Happy to report that all that behavior has dissapeared with Photoshop CS5 running on Mountain Lion (beta v1). It works as it was meant to. Yeah!
Thought I would report back as all those threads have been locked for awhile.

Thanks to the USB hub, Now Huawei E303C Datacard is working all fine in my new MacBook Pro 13" i7 Mid 2012 model.
For experiment purpose, I purchased one USB 2.0 hub (Unknown Chinese model).
I connected Datacard to USB hub and USB hub to MacBook Pro USB port.
Hurray!! Datacard is detected by MacBook Pro.
So, the problem is with MacBook Pro's new USB ports (USB 2.0 and 3.0 integrated in a single port) and Huawei E303C Datacard.
It is a hardware support issue with Huawei E303C Datacard.
I hope this will solve your problem too.
Enjoy
