How do I back-install PhotoShop CS2, 3, or 4?

How do I back-install Photoshop CS2, CS3, or CS4, all of which I once owned. I have CS5 currently installed, but need an earlier version for a project.
Thanks for any help.

If you already have CS5 installed, I don't think the installer of an earlier version will let you install said earlier version—at least on a Mac.

Can i install photoshop cs2 on a new mac?

hi, i have a new MBP and wish to install Photoshop CS2 but i am having issues.
i am running OS X 10.9.4. Does anyone know how i can install it?
i can't really justify the price of the full new version of Photoshop for the amount i use it so the free old version is perfect for me. Unless anyone has a cheap Adobe alternative?
Regards,
Joe

Adobe CS2 is not Free Software you need a licence to run it legally
System Requirements for Photoshop CS2
by Shea Laverty, Demand Media
While Adobe Photoshop CS2 was released in May 2005, its age may make it an appealing target to businesses -- as of the date of publication, CS2 is still an adequate product for most basic business needs and may be available second-hand for considerably less than the price of purchasing the latest version. Because there are few modern computer systems incapable of running this system, prospective owners should check their system against the minimum requirements before purchase and installation.
Processor
Windows users looking to install Photoshop CS2 will need at least an Intel Xeon, Xeon Dual, Centrino, Pentium III, Pentium 4 or comparable CPU in order to run the program. Mac users will need at least a G3, G4 or G5 PowerPC processor.

Install Photoshop CS2, new compute, Windows 8.1?

Install Photoshop CS2, which I bought several years ago, on a new computer with Windows 8.1? Adobe uploaded me a version that doesn't require activation, but it doesn't work!

Thanks, Ned. Adobe sent me a link to download a version of CS2 that they say doesn't need activation. I clicked on the link and used their new code to load and authenticate. The App is sitting there, but when I click on it, the box says something is wrong with my username, password or activation and the app will now close. I don't know how to try to download with compatibiity mode. Any clues?

I have been trying to install Photoshop CS2 but it fails, why?

It is always at the same loading point, "control packet" and then it crashes, why?
I got the idea from here -> Grab Photoshop and CS2 For Absolutely Free Right Here And it is not a virus, promise
Anyway, I have installed Photoshop CS2 on my other computer so it could be that reason, but I don't think so.
Please help

First off, the article you link to is WRONG. Adobe have absolutely NOT made CS2 "free" - the replacement download is only legally available to customers who already owned a copy of the CS2 applications and couldn't reinstall them because the activation servers were closed down. If you don't have a genuine paid-for license for CS2 from back in the day, you are not allowed to use it. Period.
Also, CS2 is old. It's not designed to run on modern operating systems.

Can not install photoshop CS2 on Mac OSX. 10.9.5, It shows "error" no error number, suggest to contact the software supplier, only choice is to quit.

I tried to install Photoshop CS2 on Mac, OSX, 10.9.5.
By the end of the installation, it shows, error, but no error number for reference,
The only choice is "quit".
Please help

That is correct Das_Sad. CS2 will not run on Intel based processors under Mac OS. You will need to find a Mac computer with a PowerPC processor if you wish to run Creative Suite 2.

Cannot install Photoshop CS2 on Intel Mac 10.4.6 or 10.4.7

Hey,
I have just tried to install Photoshop CS2 on an Itel MacBook Pro but it gets stuck while installing "Shared Packages" of "Adobe Help Center".
Any idea out there?
Thanks

Please don't say that CS2 doesn't work under Rosetta, when it does. There are performance issues, and for those who use CS2 for large, system intensive purposes have good reason to not want to upgrade to Intel, but that doesn't mean CS2 won't work.
I haven't experienced the install problem personally, but googling "cs2""intel""mac" yields this article:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060524084530919
To summarize, it may be an issue with either Quicktime 7.1 or Adobe Version Cue.
Good luck.

Can't Install Photoshop CS2 Correctly

I recently installed Photoshop CS2 on my Windows XP (SP2) computer. It installed fine about a year ago, but I got a virus and had to format my drive to get rid of it a few months ago. I tried to reinstall my software today, opened it, clicked the register later option and tried to start using the software but an error message popped up: "An error has been detected and activation cannot continue. Please restart your computer and reinstall the application." Obviously I followed these instructions. I also tried running the installer as an administrator. No luck. No matter what options I select I still get this message. I can't even install the 30-day trial version of the software because when I start using it, I still get this message. I even get it when I'm not connected to the internet. I don't care if this isn't the latest version. I still paid hundreds of dollars for this software and I should be able to use it regardless, so would someone please tell me a way around this issue? I have a feeling if I contact customer service, they won't care because it's an older Photoshop. Also note that I've been unable to install this software on other computers as well. I only have one computer running the software, but I was told that I could install this on two computers. Even if I couldn't, that still doesn't explain why even the trial version of the software doesn't work. Please help. Thanks.

Trouble installing Photoshop CS2

My name is Michael and I work for the U.S. Navy on board the USS Emory S Land. My command bought my shop a new computer recently that is used strictly for desktop publishing and video editing projects. This means it has NO internet connectivity. I tried installing Photoshop CS2 on it with a valid serial number and I get an error message: "Setup could not find a qualifying product. You may install a qualifying version of Adobe Photoshop and run setup, or contact Adobe Cumstomer Service." Calling customer service is of no use, they won't help. Can someone please help me? Thanks.

you recently downloaded the cs2 installation files and you are using the serial number(s) from the page with the downloads, correct?
if so, and you are using a mac: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/startup-error-photoshop-cs2-mac.html
if so, and you are using a pc: http://www.bench3.org/tech/installing-adobe-photoshop-cs2-on-64bit-windows-adobe-cs2-also- supports-64bit-windows/

Weird system crash when trying to install Photoshop CS2

It gets to "Running installer script" and then nothing. I only have a movable cursor at this point. I can't even force-quit. I'm left to force a shutdown with the power button.
I've tried Hardware test and the computer passed. I check the disk in disk utility - was fine. I even tried copying the photoshop disk to the HD and run it from there... crashed the same way.
Anyone have any ideas?

Frank, not sure if this is quite your problem, but there is a known issue with Photoshop CS2 and Intel based macs after the last security update. If you install Photoshop CS2 then the computer will no longer boot properly.
The solution is to start up in "safe" mode (by booting the Mac with the shift key held down - this may take a while as "safe mode" involves a full directory check and repair if necessary) . Once it has booted remove Adobe VersionCueCS2 from /Library/StartupItems.
If this is not done then the only way to boot the computer is by Netboot, CD boot or Safeboot.
Adobe are apparently promising a fix. see http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2358601#2358601

How can I download & install Photoshop CS 5.1 for Mac?

I bought a new MacBook Pro with no CD drive, how can I download & install Photoshop CS 5.1 for Mac (I have my legit license key)

Hi Andrew,
Please use the below link to download CS5 Photoshop.
Download CS5 products
However since you are using a new MAC OS you might want to check the compatibility of the products.
As CS5 is only tested on 10.5.7 and 10.6 MAC OS.

Installing Photoshop CS2

So I followed a link through Tumblr that leads me to a free installation of CS2 as well as many other free products (https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads). I wanted to install Photoshop CS2, and it downloaded the installer, and it goes through everything until it gets to a message of "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
Does anyone have any idea of what is happening? I'm on a Mac Version 10.9.2
Any help is appreciated!!

I'm on a Mac Version 10.9.2
CS2 will not run on modern Intel-based Macs running operating systems such as OS X 10.9.x. It will only run on older PowerPC-based Macs.
See the system requirements
Mac OS X v.10.2.8–v.10.3.8. PowerPC® G4 or G5 processor

Hi MarcoMazzone,
Please open finder and then go to Applications/utilities/Adobe Installers/
You might find the uninstallers for CS6 ( design prem/stndard or master collection) or Photoshop CS6.
If you see any of them just double click on the uninstaller and follow the prompts on the screen to uninstall the product.
Close Adobe application manager and reopen it, You will see the photoshop as available.
Thanks

HOW DO I UN-INSTALL PHOTOSHOP CS5 ?

HOW DO I UN-INSTALL PHOTOSHOP CS5

If you have CS6 or CC installed I would just wipe out Photoshop CS5 install tree. I would not use Adobe or a Windows un-installer. For these often restore thing like resister entries to the state before CS5 was installed even when these entries were later updated to a newer version of Photoshop. If you do not have a newer version of Photoshop install or are willing to install the newer version again I would think it safe to use Adobe uninstall.
