HELP CS2 will not install on my new MacBook - it's killing me!

Hi Guys
Okay I'm tearing my hair out here! This is carrying on from an earlier issue.
I connected my new MacBook to an iBook to transfer my stuff across, the thing is CS2 didn't transfer properly so on the advice of Adobe after trashing what I had transfered I tried to install it from scratch using the discs. Here's the thing it won't install. I put disk 1 in go through the licensing agreement, the serial number etc. get to the install bit, click install and nothing, nothing happens. Both Adobe and Apple seem at a loss to explain this.
Can anyone help I desparately need these programmes for work?
Thanks Jim!
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

so you copied over documents and applications?
apps should always be installed, never copied.
CS2 puts files all over your system, not just in your applications folder. - it will be very difficult to manually delete everything associated with CS2.
if it were me, i would backup any important documents (on dvd or an external drive) and reformat the drive, re-install the os than install CS2 from the installer disk.

Elements 4 will not install on my new MacBook Pro

Bought Elements 4 in 2007 for my previous Power Mac and now just upgraded to a Macbook Pro and the program won't install .
Get the message that this version no longer supported for new the Intel Chip Macs. I know the version is old but worked perfectly well for my purposes.
So do I just chuck that money away and fork out for another proggie? What is the next version?
Thanks

Yes, you need a new version, one written for intel macs. PSE 6 is the very oldest than can be coaxed to work in 10.8, but PSE 11 is the current version. But then August is usually not a smart month for buying PSE.

Need to know your Mac model. If it's a PowerPC, the max OS is Leopard 10.5.x. If it's an Intel procesor, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (for $29) & later to Lion.

HT3775 What codec do I need to play video that is called .avi. It will not play on my new Macbook Pro.

What codec do I need to add to play a video that is called .avi
It will not play on my new Macbook Pro since I put it into the movies section of my launchpad. When it was on the desktop It worked fine. I moved it back to the desktop and it still does not work.
The error message says The document " .avi" could not be opened.
A required codec is not available.

Download VLC Media Player which plays anything you throw at it and Perian (AVI and FLV support).

Photoshop elements 10 will not migrate to my new macbook pro/retina display. There is no CD/DVD player on this machine. Any suggestions on how to get Elements onto my machine? Yes, I have the disk(s).

I have ordered a USB3 BluRay/DVD/CD player/burner and will use that both with my iMac ( in which the Superdrive seems to be failing ) and the MBPro Retina I just bought .

Illustrator CS2 will not install

Hello-
I just got a new computer and went to install my copy of CS2. However, everything installs EXCEPT Illustrator. All of the other components work, but Illustrator does not install. When I go to reinstall, the installer recognizes that Illustrator is not installed and proposes installation of specific components (i.e. Ilustrator). I go through everything and once again, no Illustrator.
Anybody have any ideas?
It's the mac version and the new comp. is a MacBook Pro (newest version).

It will. You can't install CS2 after installing CS3 or 4. Doesn't work. Uninstall the CS4 and dump all files, esp shared libs. You may have to use the CS4 Clean Script to remove all the associated parts.

HT1199 my mac pro will not install updates or new software such as printers what could be the problem

I have tried to complete updates and install software and for some reason it will not update or install new software such as a printer. What could be the problem

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

Mavericks will not install on brand new Hard Drive

Trying to install Mavericks to a brand new internal 2TB Samsung SATA 3.0 HD on a 3-yr old 12 Core Mac Pro system that was running Mnt Lion just fine. After multiple failures upgrading the Mnt Lion disk to Mavericks. Decided to just use a brand spankin' new hard drive and do a clean install of Mavericks. Now during the install to the NEW DRIVE, getting error message "Mavericks cannot be installed." Then I reboot and try to force the continuation of the install, doing this repeatedly, and I sometimes get a error log instead of a just an error message. Error log says: Thread 34 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.root.high-priority. Then the 1st line listed under that is: 0 libsystem_platform.dylib 0x000000010fa5a06a _platform_memmove$VARIANT$Nehalem + 138. If anybody knows what any of that means?
Thanks.

Without the full listing of the trace I can't be sure, however it would look more like a bonafide logic board or memory error rather than the HD that's causing the problem. The low level drivers on Mavericks have obviously changed (otherwise it wouldn't be a different OS version) and possibly they're exposing a lack of performance in your memory. The actual Mavericks install may not be the problem, but rather being corrupted during installation. In the line you quoted, Nehalem is the Intel name for your CPU, the memmove operation failed (move blocks of memory contents from point A to point B) and they shared library containing this was in the system library....sort of critical stuff.
You could try the following:
Re-seat the RAM and try again.
Try an old OS installation and see if it succeeds (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, etc)
Try an install to an external enclosure
If re-seating the RAM does the trick, then you're set.
If it doesn't, then install an older OS to see if they work OK. If older OSes work OK using the internal drive and you have after market memory in the system, it would imply to me that the memory probably isn't quite up to snuff and Mavericks is exposing it. If it's original memory then it should be OK.
If the older OSes now don't install correctly and it's giving similar problems try doing the install in an external enclosure. The point here being to try to move your data path off the internal SATA cable. If these install OK, try it with Mavericks. If any of these work it could be the SATA cable or I/O controllers on the logic board (SATA cable most likely). A good reference for these sorts of problems is:
Bad Hard Drive Signs and Symptoms
Possibly a last option, which I would think (or hope) would be rare, would be that the binary for Mavericks install got corrupt during download. You could also try some of the resets they have in the linked document above. They might work and it doesn't take any effort.
Good Luck

Help, PE7 will not install

Help - anyone that may have seen this...please
On attempting to install PE7 from a legal purchased CDROM.
After choosing language and clicking OK to start install, I get a dialog that give this insane statement...
Either Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0 is not installed on the system or has corrupted. So please install Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0 and then retry.
Your system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, please run the installation again.
Click Finish to exit the wizard.
Adobe support has tried to help, clean up registry, uninstall all other adobe software, etc. Escalated problem, but I've not been called back.
BTW I get the same dialog on two other computers I have as well.
Suggestions?

Hi
Yesterday I downloaded the 'tryout' version of PE7.
It installed without the goofy message.
My serial number from my own disk was rejected when entered.
The tryout version is missing lots of effects, it inserts a watermark over any video editing done in it. (more like a skidmark).
I uninstalled it and still await Adobe support.
I assume at this point there is a problem with the installer disk.
Even though the disk copied onto my hard drive without error messages.
Thanks all...

Logic Studio 9 Not installing on a new MacBook Pro

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro (Retina) running the Mountain Lion (10.8.3). When I try to run the installer i'm being told that I can't run the installer because Power PC Applications are no longer supported even through the discs indicate it is a Universal App.
Any idea what gives?? I was able to install it on another MacBook Pro I got last year.

Last time I checked Pacifist, it allows the user to extract the component parts out of a package.
Have they now updated it to allow for Pacifist to actually run the Installer Script, too (in such a way as to duplicate the action of the original Installer script)?
I think that you will find that it has done so for some time, but it certainly does now:

Lexmark s300 will not print wirelessly on new macbook pro

Hi
I have recently purchased my first mac - macbook pro and i cannot get the printer to print wirelessly. The printer is connected to the router and will talk to my old laptop but i cannot get the mac to do the same.
It finds the printer ok but will not send anything to it. I have downloaded new drivers etc and nothing seems to be working.
Any suggestions? I have tried lexmarks website and mac and still no joy.
Thanks

I get the same error message ("/Library/Printers/Lexmark/Drivers/LexmarkCUPSDriver.app/Contents/MacOS/Lexmar kCUPSDriver failed") when I try to print on my LEXMARK S605 since I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard (on iMac IntelCore2Duo, 2006).
I updated the system up to 10.6.4, I upgraded the printer firmware, I updated the Lexmark drivers downloading them from Lexmark website.... still have the same bug.
I wish someone will find a solution for us. Thank you in advance for your advices.

Iphone:icloud will not sync with my new macbook

I just recently got a MacBook pro and I have had an iPhone for about 2 months and all my contacts from my phone will not sync with my Mac. I have no clue what to do and I have tried everything hooking it up to the computer...turning the contacts thing on and off...and even registering the icloud again off of my phone.
Please Help!

Close iTunes. On your phone, double tap the Home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar, tap & hold any app until they all start to wiggle & a red minus sign appears. Tap the red minus sign to remove every app shown. Tap Home button when finished. Re-start your Mac, launch iTunes, connect your phone. See if things work now.

how did you do that ?
i've found the most successful method to transfer an iTunes library from one Mac to another is this:
connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in _*Target Disk Mode*_, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).

your profile suggests you're on 10.6.3. if that's the case, i suggest you do this:
(a) download the [_*Mac OS X v10.6.4 Update (Combo)*_|http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1048]
(b) repair permissions using *disk utility* and reboot your Mac into _*safe mode*_
(c) run the combo while in *safe mode*.
(d) when the updater is done, let your Mac reboot normally
(e) repair permissions again
please post back with results !
