  • Problems installing Illustrator CS2

    HI
    The problem I have is that when I try installing Illustrator CS2 it just will not install.  The installer goes through the install and it looks to be installing the program.
    When I check the program list everything is there except iIlustrator.  I dont receive any errors regarding a problem it just goes through the install and updates then finishes as though it has been installed.
    I have even looked in the programs list on the C drive (c:\Programe files\Adobe) and it isnt there.
    I watched this folder on install and it creates the Illustrator file but when the install has finished the file just vanishes???
    Can anybody Help me on this one please.

    Indeed weird. Unfortunately for CS2 no clean scripts exist, so you will have to try that manually. What I would do is to, try and move the installer database and the installer session folders (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers, C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\caps) out of the way, so the installer thinks nothing is installed yet. You may also need to download the Microsoft Installer Database Cleanup Utility and remove any instances of Adobe Setup 2.0 as well as other references to Adobe. Be extremely careful, though. For CS2, deleting some of those keys will create a royal mess and render your functioning installs useless, because it is tied in with the licensing and activation. So take it one step at a time. Short of that I have no clue, but you could check the installer logs (C:Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers) or provide them here for inspection.

  • I need help - My illustrator CS2 just quit working.  Can anyone help?

    I went to open a file yesterday and illustrator just freezes on me.  won't open.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled but no luck.  My photo shop is working fine but Indesign now asks for serial number and then tells me it is not valid. Panic here as Adobe states they will not support/help me even if I pay.  They say illustrator CS2 is to old.  It does what I need for my business and must have it up and running again.  Short of buying the update - does anyone out there know of something I can try to resolve this?  HELP ME PLEASE????  Karen

    You are a life saver!!!!  It worked!  Thank You  so much - Why couldn't
    Adobe just sent this to me in the first place.  It would have made my life
    soooooo much easier.  Back in business again - just in time to get a rush
    order handled for one of our customers.   THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

  • Help with installing illustrator CS2

    when trying to install my full version of adobe illustrator CS2 my system informed me that I couldn't because my hard disk was a non HFS volume and that it needed to be formatted as HFS...how do I do this???
    thanks

    When you installed OS X did you format the drive for the Unix Filesystem or for Mac OS Extended? If it is formatted Mac OS Extended perhaps the drive is corrupted. Try repairing the drive.
    Disk formatting and repair is done using the Disk Utility located in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder.
    If your drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (HFS+) and the drive is OK, then perhaps there is a problem with the Adobe installer in which case you need to contact Adobe for support because these forums do not provide third-party support.

  • Help installing Illustrator on Mac

    I have a new Mac with OS X Snow Leopard and can't install Illustrator 10 because the installer crashes.
    However, according to the posts at the links below, it can be installed on an older mac and the files can be copied to the new mac and it runs ok.  The problem is I don't have an older mac and I need someone with a PowerPC Mac to assist me.  I have the Illustrator 10 disc and legal serial number.  I would need someone to download and install on a PowerPC mac and then upload the resulting files to me.  Is there anyone out there willing to help?

  • Install Illustrator CS2 on Machine w/ CS3 Suite?

    Hi, we have one computer that has the full CS3 suite installed on it only. It is running Leopard from a clean install.
    We just found out that Illustrator dropped support for AutoCad files (that's just great!) in CS3, so we need to install a version of just Illustrator CS2 on this machine for compatibility.
    All of our CS2 suites were upgrades (so was our CS3 suite). When we go to install using the CS2 install disk, we enter our previous CS1 serial number when it asks (since it is was an upgrade). But when we get to a screen to select components, ONLY Photoshop is available as an option. Everything else is grayed out.
    - How can we install JUST Illustrator CS2 on a machine with CS3?
    THANKS!

    IIRC, you're going to need to uninstall CS3 before installing CS2.
    Check the readme files. I think it may be covered there.

  • I need help installing Photoshop on my Macbook Pro.

    I am trying to install Photoshop on my Macbook pro running OSX 10.6.8 for my student photographer daughter. Every time I try to install either the 30 day trial or buy the monthly plan it tells me that the computer can't establish a secure connection and suggests that the url has changed. I checked it on my Mac at work, today but it looks fine. She needs Photoshop, not necessarily the fastest newest version for college, but needs to use it from this older Macpro. Any thoughts?

  • Unable to install Photoshop CS2 on MacBook Air [was: Literally in tears tonight... feel absolutely sick.]

    I've been a Photoshop user (yes, I paid full price for legit copies with serial numbers!) for nearly 15 years. Self-taught. Learned SO much and can practically do everything with my eyes closed. Well, today, I got shocking news when I discovered I cannot use my CS2 with my new MacBook Air. Mavericks OS doesn't support PPC things. Whatever that means. This is so awful and stressful for me. I never bothered to upgrade over the years because everything worked flawlessly... so why bother? But now I'm stuck. Even though I have a fully-paid for set of discs, they're worthless. I have been on this forum and online LITERALLY FOR SEVEN HOURS today trying to resolve this and I cannot for the life of me get any of the downloads or patches to work. Just venting. I'm sad. Just sitting here sobbing... and cursing... that there is no REAL PERSON I could talk to about this on the phone. This is way over my head and I'm so exhausted and emotionally drained and now I feel like this new laptop is worthless... until I apparently spend several hundred or thousand more dollars for a new PS?????? Ugh. WORST DAY EVER and ALL I wanted was to happily load my CS2 onto my new laptop and be on my way. It's just awful, like everyone says, how HORRID and NON-EXISTENT Adobe customer support is. I hate how they just send you to the forum (even though I'm sure all of you are awfully nice). Thanks for listening. Just wanted to air my sadness in case someone out there can help me with a solution.
    Thanks.

    Your discs are no longer of any use, but you can download a special version that can be installed and activated.  Whether or not it can work on your new machine is something else to wonder about.  It is very old software.
    The only option to install CS2 lies in the following linked web page.  If you have already tried this and were unsuccessful then you might need to explain more about what occured when you tried.

  • Installing photoshop cs2 onto macbook pro

    I had the old version of photoshop cs2. I want to put it on my new macbook pro. I was given the link http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html". I have downloaded it but when I try to install the message says 'Installation failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance'.

    Looks like you're looking at buying a full version of CS6 or subscribing to the cloud.  :-/

  • Help Installing Old CS2 Onto New Hard Drive

    Please Help!!!
    5 years ago I bought my iMac G5 and Adobe Photoshop CS2.  Just last week my hard drive "died" and I had to get a new one.  I found and pulled out my old Photoshop CS2 disc and tried to install.
    When I entered the serial number, installation said that this was an upgrade serial number and I had to provide the previous version's serial number.  I don't remember there ever being a previous version.  We bought everything new: the computer, CS2, and a couple other programs.  I don't know why it says the CS2 serial number I have is for an Upgrade Version.
    When I called customer support, they said they no longer offer support on CS2, and I'd have to upgrade.  But, I don't necessarily want to upgrade.  I'm just fine using my outdated software for my little tinkering around with photos.  I don't want to spend $199 on the CS5 upgrade.
    All I want is to install the program that I paid for.  I don't want to pay for another program or update or anything.
    Does anyone know why this is happening, or have an suggestions for how to fix it.  I just want my Photoshop back!
    Thanks!! 

    It would be helpful to provide information on the Mac model involved. Exactly which model Mac do you have? Also what OS X installer version you have. Keep in mind that the optical drive you have installed may not be a bootable drive.

  • 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?

  • Help installing windows 8 on Macbook Pro 15"

    I recently downloaded Windows 8 64-bit for my mac from my University's Website for my new Mac. I tried using bootcamp assistant, but it wanted me to find the ISO image. I couldnt find this file in my downloads.
    After download was complete this "device" showed up on my homescreen: HRM_CCSA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5
    And the Files name is English_windows_8_professional_w64_X18-15875.
    If i click on the homescreen icon it takes me to a finder page with a bunch of complicated names as files.
    PLEASE HELP

    Windows 7
    Did anyone try Windows 8 on a Mac ? Which one is more reliable and compatible ?
    Windows 7
    Windows 8 is only beta, but can be run in VirtualBox
    Only Windows 7 is supported by Apple in Bootcamp at this time, however you can install Windows 8 Beta into virtual machine software.

  • Need help installing boot camp onto macbook pro

    I'm attempting to get Boot Camp to run on my MacBook Pro as I need to run several programs on windows for school. I purchased a Windows 8.1 download from Microsoft's website. The download from their website is not an ISO image and is not recognized by the Boot Camp Assistant on the "Create Bootable USB Drive for Windows Installation" screen. I am not a tech savvy person and I would appreciate any help/advice, it seems that I have to somehow convert the download?
    Thank you!

    You get an ISO using this method - http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-download-the-official-microsoft-windows-8-1-is o/
    You will need the ISO to be able to build the USB that Bootcamp needs.
