Having problems re-installing Photoshop CS3 onto my Mac

Hi, I am having a few problems with re-installing Photoshop CS3 (consisting of licensed versions of CS and the CS3 upgrade) onto my Mac after a repair.  I run a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Powerbook and OSX mountain Lion).  On installation I had to ok the following error messages...."Could not import clipboard because unexpected end of file was encountered" and "Could not Synchronize colour settings because of program error" CS3 is running but simple action requests such as levels are unavailable in the batch processing and Adobe Bridge quits unexpectedly all the time aswell.  Any advice on how to get a quality re-install and/or how to fix these problems?  Any help much appreciated:)
Ian.

I do not know what I did differently this time, but I finally got this printer to install. I wish I could leave a better solution in case others are running into a similar problem; however, I honestly have nothing to say besides uninstalling everything and then installing it again using the HP Printer Install Wizard.

    Loading my Photoshop CS3 onto new Mac Book Air. Why does it ask for InDesign CS4 part way through?  I have a CS5.5 disc. Will suffice?

    that doesn't make sense.  you will only be prompted for earlier adobe versions when installing a latter upgrade version.
    double check your versions.

    Hi Shaun,
    Elements 6 is a legacy product and the download is not available on Adobe's website.
    Also check the configuration of your new machine, Elements 6 might not be compatible with that.

  • Problem to install Photoshop Elements 6 in MAC

    I just buyed the Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, and was really happy to install it on my MAC. I have several problems, installing it always go throw the process and then says there was a problem on the installation with no more details.
    I think it may be because my sofware version is MAC OS X v10.5.6, and in the requirements it specify v10.5.2, could it be that the reason why I can not install it? How can I solve this problem?
    Thank you for all the help you could give me

    In any case, to fix things, you need to remove as much of what got installed as you can (via the uninstall components part of the installer if you can, manually if not), then download and run this:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401056&sliceId=1
    Create a new admin user and run the install from there. Disable any antivirus software or anything from Norton/Symantec before installing. Repair permissions when you're done. You can delete the new account if it works.

    You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account.  If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

  • Cannot install Photoshop CS3 - Installer just dissappeared

    I have an issue installing Photoshop CS3 as follow:
    I have removed all Photoshop CS3 Beta manually (Use control panel, deleted files and registries) as instructed in this web and get rid of all thing involved Adobe out of my computer.
    When I clicked Setup.exe, a setup windows with progressive bar (See in http://www.thetaforce.com/image/cs3installer.jpg ) appeared shortly and then disappear!
    Then nothing is happenned further. No error message. It just disappeared. I wait for an hour but nothing happened.
    I tried to run Windows in clean mode (msconfig -> disable unneccessary services) and also disable Antivirus and Firewall etc. But this problem persists.
    I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium (32Bit) and have Intel Centrino Duo 2.0GHz with 1.5GB of Ram (DDR2) and 100GB HDD. Graphic shared Intel 945GM Express Chipset.

    I finally got CS3 to install last night, I decided to vanilla install XP sp2 from scratch using a ghost copy.
    I then ran the installer from the same physical disk but diffrent partition and I got 2 errors, CS3 and shared components failed to install. I was just about to throw the towel in, having cleanned my pc back to nothing but base XP sp2 install and then I thought why not put the whole 460mb package on the root or C:.
    I ran the installer and uncompressed the file, which created the installer and executed. The options screen popup (at last!!) and I chose the default install location and few minutes later, CS3 was installed and running.
    I then spent the next couple of hours updating XP with 80+ security patches, IE7 and all my other applications.
    This may seem a bit drastic, but I can only conclude that this problem had nothing to do with CS3beta but rather a conflict with one or some XP security updates / patches.
    Also, there must be something inherently wrong with the CS3 installer scripts, perhaps absolute rather dynamic file addressing as it just would not work if I put the installer on a different drive.
    I've burnt nigh on 20 hours on this upgrade and finally have it running.
    Focusing on the positives, my pc is running a lot quicker and has less bloatware than before, however getting a PC to be stable takes a lot of time and effort, which I now have to contend with. In fact, IE 7 is already crashing more than it did previsouly!
    Looking on the bright side, I finally have access to my CS3beta PSDs with LR working in harmony.
    I do hope others can solve the problem in a less drastic manner. For me, I felt it better to work from a know XP build to isolate the many variables.

  • Trouble installing Photoshop CS3

    I've just recently had a clean install on my Apple iMac. I'm now re-installing all the software that I need. I'm having a problem installing Photoshop CS3. I have the folder, the serial number, and its on the list of products registered with Adobe. How do I install?

    If your lucky, using the photoshop cs3 unistaller in the Applications>Utilites>Adobe Installers>Add or Remove Adobe Photoshop CS3
    might work for unistalling cs3.
    Then doing a fresh install from the dvd or downloader installer might work.
    If not, then you'll have to download and run the CC Cleaner Tool
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
    Then search around on your hard drive (check especially hard  drive>library>application support adobe, as well as Applications)
    and remove all the bits you can find, then reinstall from your original  installation media.
    Do you have any later versions of photoshop like cs4 already installed?

  • Problems Re-Installing Adobe CS3 Illustrator

    Hello,
    I was having problems with Adobe Illustrator CS3 and Acrobat. Specifically making pdfs from InDesign (which contained illustrator eps). I took out my Illustrator CS3 preferences and threw the application in the trash. Now, even though I purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium, I can't re-install Illustrator. I have a job that must go out on Monday and need to get this fixed. Adobe Photoshop works fine and so does InDesign. Acrobat is still problematic. I believe this Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium is an upgrade from a CS2 Premium. I no longer have the CS2, having thrown it away.
    When I try to install Illustrator off my CS3, the application seems to be working for a while, then it asks me for a CS4 disk (which I don't have and never purchased).
    Can someone please help me?
    Best,
    Roshi33

    trying to launch photoshop cs3 on a mac running OS10.6.8 i keep getting the error message: Licensing for this product has stopped working  you cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT adminstrator or Adobe customer support for help
    I already Uninstalled and reinstalled the product and it still does not work.

    Hi,
    Try to uninstall the software again and you have to manually
    Delete the following folders:
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/backup
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
    Go to Applications-->Utilities-->Disk Utility, Open it and Select the MAC HD and then click on Repair permissions.
    After that try to run the cleaner tool as mentioned by kglad.
    Restart machine and then try to install again.
    *** Make sure , you only delete these folders if there is no other adobe applications installed on the machine. As if you have any other Adobe application of the suite ( not free applications ) then it will be a problem.

  • Installing Photoshop CS3 on Windows 8

    How can i install Photoshop CS3 on Windows 8 - install does not complete - error message "Installer Database corrupt".  The Abobe help chat system is unable to help.
    Rebooting my computer and re-downloading the software from the Adobe website for another clean install made no difference.
    Is this a compatability problem and if so how can I fix it?

    It works, but there are known problems with installation and use so you should consult the Adobe support forums. If you're trying to install it on a new PC, just get the latest upgrade package from Adobe. You'll get A LOT more out of the latest version than you would CS3 since CS3 doesn't support the newer technology and lacks hardware acceleration.

  • Can't install Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP SP3

    Hello, I recently have reformated my machine and installed XP SP3
    sadly now, I can't install Photoshop CS3, when I double-click on Setup.exe, it show me a small bar/dialog which tells me it's extracting files, but after that, NOTHING HAPPENS
    I left it for an hour, and again, nothing happens. I checked my Task Manager and I found that Setup.exe and Msiexec.exe are running but with completely 0% of system resource.
    I tried everything possible, nothing worked for me, I really need Photoshop CS3 for my work.
    thanks advance
    JohnX

    I hear ya. that's on an existing system with an upgrade. i've solved (well, resolved) a remote desktop problem with a rollback to sp2.
    but on the clean xp pro sp3 system (1st app install after anti-virus and firewall), the cs3 install took about 10 minutes. very fast very smooth.

  • Getting a "Setup Error" when I try to re-install Photoshop CS3

    I've had a nightmare week.  My iMac crapped out and I lost the harddrive.  Now I'm slogging through the process of re-installing all my software.
    Per the instructions of the Adobe Customer Service, I went into "My Adobe" > "My Orders" and downloaded the Photoshop CS3 I purchased in Sept. 2007.  (I know it's old but it serves the purpose I need).
    But when I double click the "Setup" application, I get the following message:
    Setup Error
    Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance.
    When I contacted Customer Support, they told me they could not help me because they do not offer support for old versions of CS and to post a question here, so that's what I'm doing.
    Does anyone know what the "Setup Error" is and how I can re-install Photoshop CS3?

    Is IE your default browser?
    The address in that error is somewhat peculiar, in that it points to a process running on your computer (127.0.0.1 is a loopback address that points to your own system).
    I suggest that after downloading and saving the Flash installer to a folder, you completely exit Firefox, and do the installation with Firefox closed in case having Firefox open is interfering in some manner.
    Of course, make sure you get the official installer from Adobe, and '''uncheck the box for any tag-along software that you do not want''':
