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.

  • 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.

  • Installing Elements 11 on Mac. Need help with install error "Setup wants to make changes."

    Installing Elements 11 on Mac 10.8.2. Need help with install error:  Setup wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."  After entering Adobe password, nothing happens.  Locked from further installation.  Any ideas?  Adobe phone support could not help.

    Just before letting changes (installation in this case) be made on the system, Mac OS prompts for password & this has to be the Mac system password. This password prompt is the system's own native prompt & would accept the system password only. Please make sure it is the right system password (all/admin rights) and the installaion should run.

  • Help with installing 10.6.3

    Hello, I'm looking for a bit of help with installing Mac OS X 10.6.3 without screwing up.
    I currently have a Macbook with 10.6.3 on it, and I want to COMPLETELY reset my Mac. I want to have a pretty much brand new Mac with 10.6.3, which I have the disk for. I actually just updated from 10.5.8, hoping that it would erase my hard drive and re-install, but it didn't. So I would like help with how to completely reset my Mac, and re-install 10.6.3.
    Thanks in advance!
    ~Dan

    Use that disk, but after booting from it and before running the install, choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu and erase the drive.

    RedMoose:
    Congratulations on installing an upgraded HDD into your PowerBook.
    I am not sure exactly what happened in the formatting process, but here are some directions that should help:
    Formatting, Partitioning Zeroing a Hard Disk Drive
    Warning! This procedure will destroy all data on your Hard Disk Drive. Be sure you have an up-to-date, tested backup of at least your Users folder and any third party applications you do not want to re-install before attempting this procedure.
    Boot from the install CD holding down the "C" key.
    Select language
    Go to the Utilities menu (Tiger) Installer menu (Panther & earlier) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
    Select Partition tab in main panel. (You are about to create a single partition volume.)
    Select number of partition in pull-down menu above Volume diagram.
    (Note: 1 partition is normally better for an internal HDD. External HDDs usually have more than one. See Dr. Smoke’s FAQ Backup and Recovery for tips on partitioning external HDD.)
    Type in name in Name field (usually Macintosh HD)
    Select Volume Format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    Click Partition button at bottom of panel.
    Select Erase tab
    Optional: (Select the sub-volume under Manufacturer ID (usually Macintosh HD).
    Check to be sure your Volume Name and Volume Format are correct.
    Select on Security Options button (Tiger) Options button (Panther & earlier).
    Select Zero all data. (This process will map out bad blocks on your HDD. However, it could take several hours. If you want a quicker method, don't go to Security Options and just click the Erase button.)
    Click OK.
    Click Erase button
    Quit Disk Utility.
    Open installer and begin installation process.
    Please post back with further questions, comments or an update.
    Good luck.

  • Help with installing CS2 in Snow Leopard

    Can anyone help me with installing CS2 on a MacBook running OSX Snow Leopard? I have trouble with activating the product and get a splach screen with a monkey element or  logo rather than the adobe logos... confusion reigns!

    Hi Rory, be aware that running CS2 products on Snow Leopard isn't going to be a supported combination. Here's a related thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/499253. Apparently some customers have been able to run CS2 software on Snow Leopard. You can also check with our chat support at http://adobe.ly/v6wfLL. However, I can't be certain that they'll be able to assist you. You might want to consider upgrading.

  • Help with installing CS3 on new Mac

    Recently purchased new Macs for the department. Cannot install CS3! It asks for the CS2 license number which we have. Turns out it doesn't recognize it. Called customer support and everyone had the same answer, but no solution. I purchased the CS2 corporate license when we had about 6 Macs. Now, we're down to 3 so I purchased the CS3 as individual suites. They said there is no workaround with getting CS3 to recognize the CS2 license! We called 4 different times and talked to 4 different reps who gave us all the same broken-record response. Any help with be greatly appreciated!

    I believe that is essential what the customer service folks were telling my designer. However, both was installed before on the old Macs (CS2 corporate licensed and CS3 individual license) - that's the odd thing, is that it worked before on an older system. All we did was buy new hardware.
    I hope this isn't Adobe's way of making us upgrade to CS4 - lol!

  • 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.

  • Help with exporting Illustrator CS4 datasets

    I have written an applescript to loop through all the datasets in an illustrator file.
    Applescript:
    tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
    activate
    import variables document currentDoc from alias XMLfilePath
    -- save a master ai file for all datasets
    --'set mysetcount to number of items in fileList
    repeat with idata from 1 to number of items in fileList
    display dataset idata of document currentDoc
    set mynewfile to exportFolder & "chart" & idata & ".ai" as string
    set myFile to file path of document currentDoc
    save document currentDoc in file mynewfile as Illustrator
    close document 1 saving no
    open myFile
    end repeat
    end tell
    It works but after the first loop it throws up an error at "display dataset" saying file/folder expected.
    The currentDoc variable holds a link to a chart master file, (this file is saved in CS4.ai format)
    On further investigation i have identified that the repeat structure is where the error is, as the variable "currentDoc" doesnt seem to hold the link information after the fist loop.
    however i do not know how to solve this problem.. any ideas as to solving this problem would be fantastic.

    Copying an Adobe application from one drive to another generally will not work. There are many support files in various locations which also have to be copied.
    First, you'll need to use the Adobe Cleaner tool to remove the Adobe software:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Then you'll need to install Illustrator from your original discs or from a backup of your install files. If you don't have them, you can download them here:

  • Help with Installing flash error- metafile cannot be loaded

    I read the forum on this but it ended last year and there was no response to some recent questions on this and the direct email to the Adobe rep. on there got no response.
    I am having this problem with installing Flash- it gets about 30% of the way and then a message comes up that says the metafile cannot be loaded.
    I am running 10.7.5 on Mac, all browser software is current. I use both Safari and Chrome. After it said Flash was out of date I tried to update but got the metafile error. So I uninstalled Flash to install it fresh but the same error came up. I tried everything recommended from the forum. I also did all the steps from the help list direct from Adobe ( deleting Flash files, folders, rebooting, etc.) The offline link Adobe provides says the "file cannot be found" so I can't download that either. So I tried the online link download, but even after doing all the steps in order etc. I still get the error when I try to install it.
    I have no firewall and have no virus software running. I also tried the direct offline links that others have provided from 2013, (unfortunately they are old)  in both clicking on them and also downloading by right click but they are dead links and even  the download for it has no content.
    Any help that is more recent than last year? If this is in the wrong place, apologies. New to the forum.

    I tried all solutions but one posted in adobe support. I am local administrator but IE security settings are set by group policies and buttons in tools security setting are grayed out.
    After three days with "The ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered" message I tried registering the activeX control manually.
    Bingo! that made the trick.
    So open a DOS window, type "regsvr32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx" -first check if this directory exists and contains the Flash10d.ocx (no quotes needed) and you should receive a confirmation that it registered correctly.
    I must say that I've tried so many ways that I cannot repeat the correct order before this has worked ;-(
    Hope it works for you all

  • Need help with installing old version of firmware

    I would like to revert to an old version of firmware for my Airport Extreme base station. I have read in a number of postings that this would possibly help with the problem of my Canon Pixma ip3000 not working after the firmware was usdated. When I tried to install the old firmware, the Installer would not allow it, there was just a message that the software was up to date. Could anyone please give a step by step description of how this can be done? Is there a way around the Installer? Thanks.

    The firmware supplied with the base station was 4.1. After installing it, everything worked just fine, including wireless printing to a Canon Pixma ip3000. At one point, after being prompted by a message onscreen to upgrade to 4.2, I did the download and installation, and that is when all the problems started. No wireless printing, and I can't seem to use the Airport Admin or Assistant (not responding). Since then I have also upgraded the OS to 10.4.5.
    I am trying to downgrade to 4.1 since that is what worked initially and what was suggested in another posting I read.
    I did look at the information for the various parts of Airport and noticed that the Setup Asistant is 4.2, the Admin Utility is 4.2 and the base station is 5.5.1. Could this be affecting the problem as well?
    I will try downgrading using the link you provided. Thanks very much.
