Design Standard CS3 for Mac - cannot update either through installers or through "update' button - message: cannot connect to internet

Hello:
Hoping someone can help me.
I have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro.
I use the Design Standard CS3 Adobe suite.
I have the following issues:
1. CANNOT update from Illustrator CS3 13 to 13.0.2.
- If I try hitting the update button through the Illustrator menu I get the error message " Cannot connect to the Internet. Please check your settings and/or firewall" .
- I try using the standalone updater recommended as a fix in the forums, that says update failed as well.
Have uninstalled. re installed, clean installed CS3 about 5-7 times so far with no luck.
Followed all the rules, ran the cleaner
The update problem has always been there as long as I can remember. I think the issue started with Mountain Lion when I lost access to printers via CS3 and Illustrator/Photoshop would frequently crash after a layer "move".
Since like everyone else Ie paid a small fortune for this software, I finally decided I needed to do everything I could to update it, but am still unable to!
2. Since recently upgrading to Yosemite, Illustrator launch is very random - sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt.
- Have installed Java RunTime as mentioned in forums, hasn't helped.
Slightly at my wits end here with this madness, any workarounds or solutions much appreciated, especially for point 1.
Many thanks!

Hi venkatnil, I am suddenly having the same problem with my CS3 after recently upgrading to Yosemite. I have actually been working with Photoshop, InDesign and even opened Illustrator to make sure I still could. No problems until one morning I couldn't open Photoshop. It was saying it "could not initialize because it couldn't find the disk". But just Photoshop; all the others still work fine.
So, I have another disk (not the one that originally installed CS3 all those years ago) to load Photoshop CS3. But it won't load and says "required resources are missing".
Looking around here for some answers I saw your post and realized that I've always had that same problem with the updater not able to find internet connection, too. AND I had to download an older version of Java RunTime, which seemed to go smoothly.
Now that a month or so have passed, I'm hoping you found a way to deal with this problem and can share it with me?! Or have we run into some small bug between CS3 and Yosemite that no one is going to bother with?

I bought CS Design Standard 6 for Win two years ago. Now I would like to buy a Mac. How can I get the same Creative Suite for Mac or do I get a new serial number for Mac when I pay extra money ?

Hi There,
We would like to inform you that if you in order to use Design Standard 6 on MAC, you would need to purchase a MAC serial number.

Design Premium CS3 for windows Want to download Design Premium CS3 for MAC instead

I have design premium CS3 for windows. My Windows machine is dying and I have a MAC now. I'd like to download design premium CS3 for the MAC and abandon my licenses on the Windows machine, then pick it up on the MAC. Is that possible?

Not any more. Only CS6 is eligible for the PC to Mac swap. If you do not want to buy that all over again, the $50 monthly Creative Cloud is the best way.

Design Standard CS3 Keeps Crashing

I have Design Standard CS3, I've had it for a couple years now. It's always worked just fine but lately all the programs associated with it are crashing. This consists of Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator. It sometimes crashes when I open things. If I get it open at all I can work on it but it's pointless because whenever I try to save or export any of it, the program crashes. If it matters I'm working on a Mac OS 10.4 which seems to be working fine, no other programs are crashing. I have other Adobe programs, they're working fine. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling it, still having problems. I'm at a loss of what to do. I've also tried installing various updates, still no go. Any advice you have you be great, thanks in advance.

first i would rule out user Preferences (reinstalling does not delete preferences)
>>create a New User account and test...
if the problem clears in New User, go back to old user and begin trashing preferences
if not, then use something like Cocktail OSX to clear caches
Disk Utility> Repair Disk (and making sure your boot and scratchdisk HDs have plenty of free open unfragmented space)
and rule out your fonts
next an OSX Archive install may help
if none of that works, i would put in a new hard drive and start from scratch (not migrating problems back into it)

Cut/Paste from Word to Illustrator CS3 for Mac suddenly not working

This issue regards Illustrator CS3 for Mac on a Mac Pro with 6 GB.
Exactly one week ago I created a number of Illustrator files by cutting charts from a Word 2008 document and pasting them into an Illustrator document.
In the past I have dragged the images (or clip art) or simply used Control-C or even Control-X, but by whatever method I opted for, getting the image from Word to Illustrator CS3 has not been a problem.
Yesterday I got a new chart and a request to replace an old image - one that I had created last week on Tuesday by the Drag/Drop or Cut/Paste method.   For reasons I can't begin to imagine the process simply won't work now.
I also find that if I simply select text in a Word Document, hit Ctrl-C and then try a Ctrl-V in Illustrator I don't get to see my text pasted in - ONLY if I already have a text block open and the cursor in place will I get to see the text copied over into Illustrator. This is very strange and not at all how things have worked in the past - typically I would see the new Text Object just appear, and then I could move it to wherever I wanted.
I have opened up a number of old files that I know were created with copied text and also opened the associated Word files (earlier versions of Word) and again find that I can't copy text over, or even move images over - even though I clearly could do this before. I have also tried entirely new files - also with no success.
I was at an Apple one-to-one session this morning and they were more than mystified by this. I can Cut and Paste into Adobe Photoshop Elements, but I can't even cut and paste from Adobe Photoshop Elements into Illustrator CS3.   I can drag the Photoshop file (from the Finder window) into the Illustrator document and poof - get my image that way, but it's as an image only. If the base image in question is a vector image or something else having a plurality of elements, I can't then select the elements in Illustrator to change their color, delete them, or otherwise play with them.
I have brought up a word document on another Mac system that also has Illustrator CS3 and find that it too can't drag/drop cut/paste between the two applications.   At Apple, we did confirm that such ability is operational in the new Illustrator CS4, but none of their store systems still have CS3 to provide yet a third system to test.
I have deleted my Illustrator CS3 preferences, tried flushing the p-ram, and of course run fix and repair permissions - no dice.
My Mac systems update daily and there is nothing in the main update log that shows anything for Adobe or Office (nor do I think there should be). Adobe Update reports that everything is up to date, and I don't see a history file to know what might have changed in the last week.   Office also reports fully up to date and happy.
As I can cut and paste the images into an email for Mail and into Photoshop, I am fairly certain that it is NOT a Microsoft Office 2008 issue. The fact that another Mac with Illustrator CS3 also can't cut and paste suggests that is is really not something personal to my main system.
It is almost as if this is some clandestine "update" intended to encourage me to buy Illustrator CS4. Given that I bought Illustrator CS3 less than a year ago, I really am not eager to buy the new version.   The greeting on the Adobe Support page that CS3 is no longer the current version and therefore supported was most annoying.
I am really hoping that someone out there has an idea of what to try changing, removing and/or adjusting with respect to Adobe Illustrator CS3.

I tried the Select by Path option - can't believe I missed it - and found it made no difference.
I actually uninstalled and reinstalled the whole app. When I tried to simply re-install (can't remember it's exact phrase) it got part way through and then demanded another disk - but I only have one DVD with the application - the extra DVD is for tutorials and it didn't accept that one either. So I restarted that process and chose to completely uninstall. Then reinstalled - hey with only my one disk - gee, just like the first time.   And then it seemed to work.
I was not aware of the save as PDF option - but yes I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac so that option is there - and it seems to work too.
There were of course a slue of updates, and I let them all proceed - but even with them all in place the system is fine and I can once again drag and drop / cut and paste things back and forth.   I just tried a text block and "The Quick Brown Fox" pasted in with a clipping mask about 10 times the size of the document, but other than that it was ok.
So I have things working again on my primary system.   Will try and figure out what's wrong with the other one - but a reinstall might be the easiest game there too.

HTTPS and MMHttp in Dreamweaver CS3 for Mac

MMHttp doesn't seem capable of HTTPS communication in
Dreamweaver CS3 for Mac.
When I do something like
MMHttp.getText("https://americanexpress.com");
the resulting response has no data and a status code of 0.
With
MMHttp.getText("
http://americanexpress.com");
(i.e. non-SSL) the response has data and a status code of
200.
This works fine on a Windows version of Dreamweaver CS3. Does
anyone have any suggestions?
I've only tried this on a trial version of DW CS3 for Mac.
I'm hoping to get a full version soon.

I managed to get a full copy of Dreamweaver CS3 for the Mac.
HTTPS doesn't work with MMHttp there either.
Do you have any suggestions?

Installing Design Standard CS3 without Flash Player 9...?

Hi,
I hope someone can advise me here?
I would love to be able to install Design Standard CS3 without the Flash Player 9 Plugins... Both Active X and Plug-In versions.
Is this at all possible?
I have scanned through the various XML files on the install DVD and have seen entries for both Active X and Plugin versions of Flash Player 9 in the setup.xml file.
Removing these lines from the XML doesn't make any difference and Flash Player is still installed as part of the CS3 install.
I have also tried renaming the folders containing the Flash MSI's and the installation fails at the 'Shared Components' stage.
I'm obviously missing a trick here but hoped someone might know the answer?
Many thanks,
Gav

I'm sure there are deployment instructions and tools for CS3 somewhere in the Dev Center. If this is only for your own perusal, then don't bother. any isntall of a newer version of Flash Player will superceed the old one.

LOST TOOLS PANEL in Illustrator CS3 for Mac !

I recently installed Adobe CS3 for Mac on an iMac G5 OS X 10.4.11. Photoshop works great with no problems. However in Illustrator I cannot get my Tools Panel to appear. My "WINDOW" pull down menu in Illustrator only has the following options: "New Window", "Minimize Window", "Bring All to Front", "Attributes", "Info" and "Type". The "VIEW" pull down menu has many options but none seem to open up the Tools panel. None of my Drawing Tools, Shape Tools, Cutting Tools, Moving Tools etc are visible!
I have uninstalled and then re-installed CS3 to no avail. I have tried to reset the Adobe software preferences by simultaneously holding down "Command+Option+Shift+Control" during Illustrator launch, a tip I found online but it also failed to work.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks!

This is what i think is wrong.
i think though you have installed AI three times you have also made an alias of the applications icon, or what you thin is an alias.
But what you probably have done is to make a copy of the application outside of the application folder.
If in fact you do think that you are launching fro an alias trash the alias and not and make a new one by holding down the command and option key as you drag the icon. What you probably did was only hold the option key down which made a copy of the application outside the application folder which could prevent these features from loading.
Now I have also heard there is a software conflict that can cause this but I admit I do not recall what that is.

DW CS3 for Mac won't save or upload

I've been using Dreamweaver CS3 for Mac lately, and have been
able to upload quite a few pages already. Today, however, I was
uploading a vital page but would constantly get the following
message:
"An FTP error occurred - cannot get remote folder
information. Dreamweaver encountered an internal data error. Please
try the operation again."
Is it because last night I happened to turn on my Firewall
and turn off my Personal File Sharing and Personal Web Sharing?
However, I've since turned off the Firewall again, and turned on
Personal File Sharing and Personal Web Sharing. Dreamweaver still
gives the same message above.
Do I have to reboot? Problem is, I can't save the html file I
just did, and it was a heck of a job. Don't tell me I have to do it
all over again?
Or is it because I deleted quite a few duplicate files from
my local site through my Finder? But I've been doing that before,
one file at a time, and this never happened.

Is it because last night I happened to turn on my Firewall
Most likely, yes.
> Do I have to reboot?
Most likely, yes.
> Problem is, I can't save the html file I just did
Copy the code from DW and paste it into Notepad. Save it.
WAIT - are you
saying you are editing directly on the server? Why can't you
save it?
