Help CS3 isn't working correctly in my new computer

I just bought a new computer...I had no choice..the other one was dying. I do basic photo editing, but I do it daily.
I have loaded my CS 3 onto my new Asus, with Windows 7 and i5 processor. Before I bought I did a lot of asking of friends and computer shops...all said CS3 would work just fine with this set up. I have it installed.....BUT I do alot if editing in camera raw with my jpegs. So far when I was setting up brideg, the computer pops us telling me that it won't work well with my processor. The whole reason I got the i5 was because I was told it would work best with it. It was a huge deciding factor for buying the computer. When I open the files in camera raw, it wil llet me edit, but won't save anything..I'm assuming because it doesn't like the i5 processor. it tells me it' unable to save conversion, access denied. Is there anything I can do. I really DON'T want to upgrade. I just spent a lot on a computer I was told would work with CS3 by several people and I am not good with change. I like CS3, it works for what I need and I prefer not to have to learn anything new, even if thechanges are minor.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Jenseib
I'm no expert on the technical in's and out's of Photoshop - hopefully someone more knowledgeable than myself will chime-in soon - but this might be a Win7 issue; is your User Profile set-up as an "Administrator?"
As for your CS3, a word of warning. As of CS6, which should be released in April, Adobe will only allow us to upgrade from One Full Version back, as opposed to the three versions we are currently allowed.
What that means to you is that when CS6 is released, if you are NOT on CS5, you will NOT be able to upgrade to 6 or any further releases, you will have to buy a new full copy, which will be very expensive; a new copy of Photoshop CS5 is roughly $700!
Good luck
Paul

How to Photoshop to work correctly on my new computer

I just installed CS5 Designer suite on my new mac book pro from my old mac book. I deactivated the CS5 suite on my old computer, but am now getting an error when I start and close Photoshop. When I open PS it says "Could not synchronize the color settings because of a program error" and when I close PS it says "Could not save preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the get info command in the finder to unlock" which didn't work. How can I get PS to work correctly?
Downloading, Installing, Setting Up

No, you do not need to have the older version installed, but it does play a role in getting the CS5 software up and running. When you install CS5 and go thru the activation process, as poart of that you will be asked to select the qualifying version (CS3 in your case) and input the serial number for it as proof that you qualify to use the upgrade.
If CS3 is already installed then the installarion would normally recognize that and you would not be asked to specify the information I just described. But it is more work to get CS3 installed than it is to just specify it as I describe above.

In CS5, the font size in the type tool isn't working correctly. example: 30 point looks like 4 point

In CS 5, the font size in the type tool isn't working correctly.
Example: 30 point looks like 4 point
How can I correct it?

In case you have not fixed this, take a look at your Image Size (Ctrl Alt i). The default when you make a new document window is 72ppi which can result in smaller text than you sometimes expect. If you open Image size, turn off resample, and change the resolution to something like 300, you'll get much larger type for the same settings.
For this reason one of the first things I do after installing Photoshop, or resetting Preferences, is to open Preferences > Units & rulers, and set Type to mm. This way I know that if the document is set to A4, and orientated in landscape (297mm x 210mm) setting text to 21mm is going to result in type exactly one tenth the height of the document.
I believe people in America still use inches, but unfortunately inches are not an option for Type units in Preferences. It is easy enough to work it out in your head though. A 10x8 document with type set to 25mm will give you text one eighth the height of the document.
The bottom line is you can at least predict what is going to happen when setting text size.

Wallaby animation isn't working correctly after app update

Hi DPS fellows,
This afternoon I've updated my Adobe Content Viewer and all my wallaby animations began to work in a different way.
It's just fades in instead of doing the animation.
Most of them are just animated letters for a headline. The animations consist in each letter appear at different time, sometimes coming form right, some form left or from the top of the page, but after the updated, they just appear in a fade in. Before tha worked pretty fine.
Does anybody here knows how to solve that?
Thanks a lot.

Hi!
I have a German manual with a step by step list. How you can use Path-Objects (Text and Frames) for an Wallaby HTML5 animation. And used in the Adobe DPS Folios.
If you want to have the manual in German, I can send you this e-mail tomorrow!
Bye!

My App Store isn't working correctly..

My App Store isn't working correctly, as the title states, and it continues to give me blank pages. For example, I go to the search bar, simply search up an app I'd like to use, and nothing happens. I'm not given suggestions or a single app when I press "search". It works fine for a brief moment when I open it, but it's as if it freezes but continues to let me press the tabs on the bottom.

Hello. I would like to activate my CS3 Educational Program (version 2007) on my new computer. Unfortunatly he is not accepting my serial number. What can I do? I have delated the program on my old computer but it doesn't accept the activation on the new laptop.

Make sure you are using the correct serial number. Find your serial number quickly
If you did not deactivate the original installation then it is possible your two allowed activations have been used and you need to reset your activation count. To do that you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations. If you ask for more than that they will tell you they cannot offer you any support.
For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

My iPhone accelerometer isn't working correctly

My iPhone's accelermoter hasn't been working correctly for a bit now, I am unable to rotate to protrait on all apps and I have assured that protraite orientation isn't on lock. I have also tested the X,Y and Z axis on an app and it reads when placed on a flat surface:
          X: -0.18
          Y:-0.19
          Z:-2.30
Is this a hardware issue or a software issue? I have a 3Gs if that helps. Thanks in advance

Eyedropper tool isn't working correctly in Levels, Curves adjustments

I have installed PS CS 5 Extended on a new computer running Vista Home Premium. No other version of Photoshop has ever been installed on this system.
The problem that I am encountering is the eyedropper tools in both the curves, and levels adjustment doesn’t work. The actual sliders seem to work appropriately, but clicking an eyedropper and then clicking a spot on the photo has no effect at all on the image.
I do not encounter this problem when I run the 64 Bit version of the program. It only occurs in the standard version of CS5, which I need to continue to use due to plug-in incompatibility with the 64 bit version.
I’ve checked the obvious, and ensured that the “preview” box is checked, and that I have the correct layer selected!
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Not sure if it could be coming into play here, but the sample size for the Eyedropper Tool (proper) affects the use of the Eyedropper in other dialogs.
Do this:
1. Click the Eyedropper Tool in the Tools panel.
2. Right-click on the image, and choose Point Sample.
3. Now try your Curves function again.
A second possibility is that you have a small selection made somewhere, and the Curves operation is only affecting that, so you're not seeing the change overall. I know you said you checked everything, but you didn't mention checking for a Selection.
If these are not the issues, I have to wonder whether maybe something's wrong with your display driver. Since OpenGL is involved in making the display, perhaps an OpenGL problem could be blocking the ability for the eyedropper to pick up the color. What video card do you have and what version of the display driver?
You can test for OpenGL issues by temporarily deconfiguring the use of OpenGL Drawing:
1. Edit - Preferences - Performance
2. Uncheck [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing.
3. OK out and restart Photoshop.
4. Does the problem still occur? If so, a driver update may fix it.
Hope this helps.

HELP - Website isn't working for me but working for everybody else

Hey I'm new to this site so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section!
So I've been getting annoyed lately because my website (www.curtiskeay.com) isn't working for me and just redirecting me back to my hosting website saying that the website is 'coming soon' but it works for everyone else that has tried loading it, so it just seems to be me that it's not loading for.
It works every now and then but very rarely for me, so it makes me feel that the site is down but really and truly it's just not loading for ME. It works perfectly fine at home on my wifi on my phone which is android and I use google chrome. I know this isn't probably a Apple related problem but I was unsure where else to post this.
If anyone can give me any kind of help it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Curtis

It's working here.

Click: Remove All Website Data
Now empty the Safari cache.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Advanced tab.
Click: Show develop menu in menu bar
Now go to the menu bar, click Develop > Empty Caches
Quit and relaunch Safari then try your site.

My Ipod Touch's wi-fi isn't working correctly?

So, one day my iTouch' textingapp stops letting me get and send texts. Then I went over to a friend's house and we tried to get on her wifi but she never remembered he password and kept enterring incorrect ones.
Then when I got home, it would connect to my wifi but whenever I would wanna use an app involvig internet it would never work or load, then I tried restoring it and re synching my setings, and it still isn't working.
Help?

This is the standard set of steps to fix most WiFi problems. Probably a bit of overkill in your case, but better to do all of the steps.
1. Reboot your router - unplug the A/C power cord.
2. Reset Network Settings on the touch - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
3. After the touch restarts, log back into your network by tapping Settings > WiFi > Other and re-entering your network name, security, and network password.
If you continue to have problems, write back with some additional details, error messages, etc.
