Currently have access to a friends computer with CS3 installed.I am going to buy a desktop with Windows 8 and I also have a laptop with Windows 7. What version of Photoshop is currently available that will work on both the desktop and the laptop? Can I install the same copy of Photoshop on the both machines simultaneously?

You can either buy a CS6 perpetual license, or Creative Cloud subscription. Both will run on the two computers you mention. You are allowed two installation with either version, but they must be for the same user. There is a cheap as chips Photography deal that gives you Photoshop and Lightroom for just $10/month, and feature gap is ever widening between CS6 and CC

I need help with re installing my apple account for itunes.

Had problems with my itune account, so I uninstalled and now need help with re-installing the program with the songs I have already purchased.

Your iTunes account is something at the iTunes Store online. It is not possible to uninstall it. Do you mean the iTunes application? Even if you delete the application and restore it, it should not have deleted your iTunes library (essentially the contents of the iTunes folder in Music) on your computer unless you did a separate steep and specifically deleted that too. You need to tell us what it was you deleted.

Help with CS3 on Windows 7 hard drive.

I have Photoshop CS3 on an XP hard drive. I have a Windows 7 hard drive now and cannot access Photoshop on the other hard drive and it won't let me install in on the new hard drive. Do I need a patch or something? It tells me to uninstall and install again, but it's on the other hard drive and I don't know how to uninstall it there and really need to get this installed again as I need to do a memorial brochure for a friend. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

You either have to reconnect the old drive as the C: drive and uninstall, well actually, deauthorize photoshop. then switch drives again.
Or
You can notify Adobe that you have more than 2 computers with photoshop installed (the old drive counts as a computer) you need then to reset your license.
Now I am assuming how photoshop was installed, If you already had 2 drives and installed on the second drive instead of the main drive and something went wrong so you can no longer access it. Thats another story.
Adobe has a cleaner app that can find photoshop and remove all traces of it for you, so you can resinstall it. I never used that app, so I can not give advice on how it works, but I have heard other recommend using it.

Please help with CS3 -shobat

I would like to know where I can get help regarding reinstalling Photoshop CS3. I bought Photoshop a long time ago when it was on a disk. I kept upgrading it until I had upgraded it to CS3. Recently my computer crashed that had the Photoshop CS3 on it. I'm trying to get the Photoshop CS3 on my new computer, but it wants the serial # of the original program, but it DOES NOT list the photoshop 3 or photoshop 4 that I bougt years ago. I registered Photoshop CS3 so it should be on file that I own it. Can anyone tell me where I can get help with this. CS3 cost me a lot of money and I like using it.

You might be out of luck since Adobe no longer provides support for CS3. The only hope you might have is to contact Adobe Support by chat or by phone and explain to them your scenario and hope that you get someone who is willing to work a bit and see what they can do to help you thru.

Tips and help with re-installing Lion over Snow Leopard

I had MAJOR issues with my initial Lion install on my Mid-2009 MBP- so much so, that I had to wipe my hard drive and re-install Snow Leopard and all my applications. My major issues were as follows:
1. All my files were locked out- I could open them in most cases, but I couldn't overwrite them- Lion had aded some funky permissions scheme that I didn't recognize, and my user name wasn't present on any of them. In some cases, I couldn't even open files, even though they were resident on my hard drive (and in my own user folder) before the upgrade to Lion.
2. Apple's own Universal Binary apps wouldn't work after the upgrade. Final Cut Pro 6, in particular, came up with a message that it was a "PowerPC" app and wouldn't run- yet Shake 4.1 would run just fine!
3. Adobe Creative Suite 3- after the upgrade, my Abode Ceative Suite 3 apps worked just fine, for about a day- that is, until I tried to correct the file permissions issue by changing permission on a few of my folders in my User folder (and electing to change permissions in the files contained therein)- at which point my Adobe apps told me that they were damaged and needed to be reinstalled. Yet after uninstaling and reinstalling the entire Creative Suite 3 times, I still would get the same message.
My entire workflow is Adobe CS and FCS2- why chould I have to pay the upgrade costs just to use Lion? FCPX is completely brkoen for my workflow and eqipment, and Adobe can't even guarantee that CS5 works with Lion- so why does Apple insist on Lion when it's hardly even compatible with its own products?
I really want to use Lion, but I am looking for some tips on instalation to kep these problems from happening again. I didn' have ANY of these problems with upgrading OS 10.2 through 10.6. Any help with prepping my system/files for upgrading would be helpful. Thanks!

Me, I think clone backups are more useful, and only use T.M. as secondary.
Using Cloning as a Backup Strategy
I'd assume that professional apps may need to be tested still; and of course check to see what you have that depends on PowerPC code and Rosetta first. That has some in a tither.
A clone lets you still be able to boot Snow Leopard. Check out Carbon Copy, SuperDuper.

Can't change all files to open with CS2 with CS3 installed

I have InDesign CS2 and CS3 installed on my macbook (10.5). CS3 is buggy to the point where its unusable, but I need it installed because once in awhile I receive files saved in that format.
I wanted to change, through any Get Info window, all Indesign files to Open With CS2 instead of CS3. Problem is, whenever I hit "apply to all files" the OS just instantly changes the program back to CS3.
Anyone else having this problem?

Let me be a bit clearer.
When I installed CS3, it switched the "Open With" program association of all my CS2 files to CS3. This means the icons for all my CS2 files changed to CS3 icons. And when I double click on my CS2 files, they open in CS3, even if I already have CS2 open. If I have CS2 open, the system just starts opening CS3.
Worse yet, upon installing CS3, all of my CS2 files were CHANGED to CS3 files (looking under "kind" in the "info" windows.
I had thought I could just change all INDD files to asssociate with CS2, but when I go to "Get Info" on a file (CS2 or 3, doesn't matter which), and change the "Open with" to CS2, and hit "Change All", the "Open With" Just changes right back to CS3. Augh.
For now, I just use the "Open" dialogue in CS2 or drag and drop the files. Pain in the rear. So I thought I'd post here.
And though I don't want this to be a discussion of whether CS3 is buggy or not, I'll just say that my system was plagued by the CS3/Leopard NavSvcs and Hide bugs, (only a problem in Mac OS 10.5), both of which have been recognized by Apple and Adobe, as well as thoroughly blogged about by Tim Cole and MacFixit, and countless others.
My favorite is this from the InDesign 5.0.2 Readme file:
This update does not address recently identified issues running Adobe InDesign CS3 on Mac OS
X Leopard (v10.5.1). Known issues include the following:
Users are unable to hide InDesign CS3 using the cmd+h keyboard shortcut.
InDesign CS3 may unexpectedly quit when using the Place, Save, Save As or Export
commands using either the OS or Adobe dialog boxes.
Unfortunately, there are no workarounds for these known issues.
Yes, that's right. I'm one of those lucky folks who's experiencing the known bug where InDesign CS3 crashes when you try to open or save a file. I'm not a troll, I just simply can't use it! Haha.

Help with Classic install

Hi all, I'm sure this question has been asked before so forgive me. I've looked all around and found solutions that were 'similar' to my problem but none that will work. here we go.
I just got an old Mac G4 tower (AGP) and bought Tiger to put on it. (not sure what version of OSX was on it before) Anyway I did a clean install and everythig works great. No problems at all.
I was installing a program yesterday that turns out needs Classic support. Right now there is no updated version of this program and I need to run it. My machine doesnt have Classic support. How do I install it? I've read that there is a second install disk that you can use my my boxed version of OSX has only one disk. I searched the disk and see that there is a Classic folder on it with an install app but when i run it it doesnt do anything. It just informs me that neither of my hard drivers have Classic.
I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I REALLY need to run this legacy application.

I'd find that 2nd DVD, it's supposed to come with OSX
10.4. Follow the instructions on this article and an
"Applications (OS9)" folder will appear in your
Macintosh HD.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/
en/mh763.html
OS 9 has not shipped with OS X since Jaguar.
However, OS 9 does ship with PPC Macs. It should be on the install DVD, or on the 2nd or 3rd CD, depending on which Mac. Example: my original 700 MHz eMac shipped with OS X 10.1 and OS 9.2.2 on separate CDs, both bootable. My 1.25 GHz eMac shipped with OS X 10.3 and OS 9.2.2, with the OS X disc being bootable and the OS 9.2.2 disc being part of the applications suite and not being bootable. My 2.1 GHz iMac shipped with OS X 10.4 and OS 9.2.2 on the same DVD. OS 9.2.2 is again part of the application suite and cannot be booted from the DVD. The Intel Macs at the office shipped with OS X 10.4 and that's it, no OS 9.2.2 as Classic does not run on them.
A boxed set of OS X 10.2 shipped with OS 9.2.2 on a separate CD. (It was a white 'universal install' CD and would install on all Macs produced up to that time.) I have such a boxed set on a shelf in the cupboard right now. A boxed set of OS X 10.3 shipped with four CDs, none of which was OS 9. I have such a boxed set on a shelf near my eMac right now. A boxed set of 10.4 shipped with a single DVD. I have such a boxed set on a shelf near my eMac right now. I have just opened the box and verified by sight: one DVD, OS X only. A further check of the contents of that DVD show no mention of OS 9.
The OP will need to have the system CDs or DVD which shipped with his Mac to install Classic.

Help with Tiger install and getting hot keys and start up manager to work

this open firmware issue, how do you get around it? Wonder if it is causing me trouble; i.e. shift and other keys do not work and keeping me from booting with Tiger install. How do I access these keys then?
I did a clean install on a secondary internal drive (device 1) 150GB Maxtor
but it won't boot and "restart" brings me back to install process...
have repaired disk -- OK -- repaired permissions -- OK. Re-installed and repaired. Peripherals are off or disconnected. Current OS is 10.3.9 on 20 GB HD (device 0)
What now? Would appreciate some guidance. Thank you.

Hi Ali,
re: this open firmware issue, how do you get around it? I really did not understand the support page you link to...but wonder if it is causing me trouble; i.e. shift and other keys do not work. How do I access these keys then?
Is this a Wireless KB you have? Many aren't recognized until after booting.
Hmmm, you've got the firmware Update needed for the AGP to install/use 10.4...
I think I'd try this, worked for me on 3 such macs...
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the Erase tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume, then choose MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Partition tab.
6. Click Erase & look for Security Options. choose Zero 1 pass."

HELP WITH CS3 VERSION AND WINDOWS 8.1

I have just purchased Photoshop CS3 on Ebay. Unfortunately, I had no idea that it might not be compatible with windows 8.1. Before I open the package and have no way to return this product, can anyone tell me if they have been successful in uploading this program with Windows 8.1. I did find Adobe note saying that there were no known major issues ... but have read some other reviews that conflict with this information. Thanks so much for any help you could pass on. I do not want to "pay as you go" month to month for Photoshop ... would rather own an older version I am quite happy with. Thanks

Ok it's like the serial number model in that you download the actual Photoshop programs to your PC (you can install on up to two PCs or Macs for your own use). But instead of a serial number, you set up a recurring charge account, and you sign in to activate the program.
Your work can be saved anywhere on your computer just like the older serial number type. You keep your files even if you discontinue the subscription. Your files can still be opened by other programs, but if there was a feature exclusive to CC or CC 2014 you won't be able to edit it. But to answer your questions your files stay with you, Adobe doesn't see or possess any copies.
If you decide to stay on, what you get is upgrades and new versions as soon as they are released. No more upgrade fees. You get the Extended version of Photoshop with 3D and video editing features. Not bad for $10 a month.
You do get cloud storage, but only 2 GB and nothing goes there unless you upload it.
Think of it as a holding place for the files you wish to share with others.
You can get Bridge CC with the latest Adobe Camera Raw, and Lightroom for managing and editing large amounts of digital Photos.
Typekit if you want to add new fonts.
That's the short story, here are the ddetails and of course you can try before you buy.
Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud
If you are heavy into Design, you might want the full Creative Cloud for $50/month with all the web, video, and publishing tools you want.

Lightroom Crash on Import with CS3 installed

The last two days, I have been importing fairly large shoots from CF cards with Lightroom (Yesterday 147, today 79). In both cases I have received the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close.." message; twice today. I installed Photoshop CS3 Release yesterday and now I have Bridge trying to import the same set of photos. I noticed the Bridge import dialog today after LR crashed. By sending off the debug message and restarting LR I can finish the import eventualy. It shouldn't be this way and wasn't before I installed release CS3 (I had had LR and Beta CS3 on my machine with none of these problems.

Hi Holley,
Just back from a long weekend, hence the delay in replying..apologies.
Since I have now fixed the problem, I cant remember exactly how I sorted it, because I just stumbled through the various menus until I found the right solution! But, heres what I think I did:
Open TweakUI.
Open the drop down menu next to My Computer.
Click on Handlers.
In the window next to the menu, highlight Open folder to view files using Windows Explorer.
Click Edit.
Tick whichever boxes/tasks you would like to add to this folder. Obviously, the last one, Digital Images, will be one of them!
Click OK.
Thats it!
Note: There is no option to Take no Action. Once you have added any of the menu items, this option is added automatically by TweakUI.
Now, when you put a card in your card reader, the window should open with the option, Open folder to view files.
If this isnt working, reply and Ill try again.
HTH.

Need help with CS3 DW previews in Firefox 3.6.13

I'm working in CS3 Dreamweaver & just updated Firefox to 3.6.13. Before I updated, I had no problem previewing websites in DW. Since I'm on a Mac & working on a Linux site, now I can't get previews on any browser but Safari (no Firefox, no IE). Help!

There is a fix for Dreamweaver, so it works in Firefox 3.6+ versions on MacOSX 10.5 and higher - may be inconsistent with lower versions of Mac OSX:

There is a $5.00 fee for that Dreamweaver fix. That website and the fix are not associated with Mozilla in any manner. Support for that fix is provided by that that website via email.

Help with CS3 Adobe Version Cue Server problem.

Adobe Version Cue Server (CS3) doesn't display in the system prefs, niether will install a working copy off of Install disc after removed. There seems to be no way to fix this, In bridge it can't connect. All I get is a bunch of errors.

CS3 is known for the worst version ever of Bridge and also not supported any longer, you are using Bridge version 2 and current CC version is Bridge 6.
Also Version Cue has been discontinued per CS5
There is a blog post about a fix for a certain problem but not sure this is what you need (it is for a Mac), you can give it a try:
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2008/03/a_tip_on_photoshop_mac_stability.html
Also keep in mind Bridge is not developed nor official supported for use over a network.
And in general, when something happens with Bridge first thing to try is resetting the preferences holding down option key (Mac) or ctrl (Win) while restarting Bridge.
But also I'm not sure you are in the right forum. Do a forum search about Version Cue using the Adobe Forums as source and see what result you get.

Help with Re-installing an app through app manager after after accidental uninstalled?

Okay - I've purchased lightroom 4, with the intent to upgrade my creative suite from 5.5 to 6 a week or so ago... Adobe was kind enough to credit me back as at time of upgrade, CS6 was no longer available and lightroom 4 would have been included in my CC membership.
I've installed all the CC apps, and received a weird german email about LR4 intalls... So I uninstalled my current copy of LR4 and went to re-install from the CC app manager... It says that it is already installed and won't let me download it from the site... The trouble is that it isn't really installed anymore, and now I really need to use it... Any help would certainly be appreicated.
Thanks.

If you are using Windows Mahcine then go to control panel and uninstall the lightroom properly from there.
If you are using MAC then go to /Applications/Utilities/Adobe installers and find the uninstaller of lightroom and double click the same to uninstall.
If still you are not able to uninstall the application completly then use CS cleaner tool to uninstall the software. you can download CS cleaner tool from : http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
