How do I install Photoshop CS2 on a new Mac desktop ?

I have not used my Photoshop CS2 for a few years;   I used to have it on my PC and It loaded and worked fine-   But I had a lot of trouble  between PC and viruses, and so now,   I have chosen an Apple Mac desktop. I have had it for about a week now. The prolem however is that the programme does not seam to load , do I need to go back to using a PC ?  Or is there a way that I can install CS2 on my new Mac?   When I put the disc in the Drive the CS2Disk appears; when I double click on it ; the window showing the folders opens;  and that is where I am stuck. ps the software is original. I am A pensioner and a Fine artist can you help me. also the photoshop logo does not appear on the desktop.

No way.
a) PC software doesn't run on Macs.
b) that being the case, you would have to switch paltforms but
c) Adobe only offers it for current versions (Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap)
d) even if it were possible, CS2 doesn't run on any modern Mac because Apple have long removed PPC code as used by that version
This is not going anywhere for a number of reasons as you see. You will have to come up with something else like getting  a current version of PS Elements, signing up for Creative Cloud or using free software like GIMP, if you realyl don't want to spend any money.

  • 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.

  • How do I install Photoshop Elements 6 on the Mac-mini?

    How do I install Photoshop Elements 6 on the Mac-mini? I keep getting the following message:
    x Installation cannot continue until the following applications are closed:
    flash_server
    Please close the application(s) listed above and click "Try Again" to continue the installation. Click Cancel to exit Setup.
    How can I resolve this problem without screwing anything up? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Your right. It won't make any sense to subscribe for a software that I don't own. I have CS5 on my Dell Laptop which has been giving me issues, so I re-installed the Operating System along with all my editing programs and nothing more. So I can toggle between the Mac and the PC to get the job done in the meantime. I will eventually get CS6 for the Mac.

    Pagemaker is ancient, obsolete and unsupported. It was discontinued over 10 years ago. (Though why it is still sold is a mystery.)
    If you want to run PageMaker, your best bet is to use a Win2K or WinXP PC.
    Otherwise move to Indesign or look at Serif's PagePlus or Scribus.

    Apple provides repeat downloads as a convenience, not a substitute for your computers being the primary source of file transfers.  All your iTunes information such as playlists, ratings, etc. are in a file on your computer, not in the Apple Store.  Typically when you move computers you copy the whole iTunes folder and everything it contains to the new computer.  Moving media files can be done with a drive, or by Home Sharing.  You can also redownload media but let's say somebody desiced Apple may no longer sell a certain album; it cannot be downloaded again but if you already have it on a computer you can move your copy of the file.
    5 authorizations:  Some households have multiple computers.  If you want ot use one with an account it has to be authroized.  It means you can use any computer in the house to make purchaes, etc.
    Okay, my 5 minute typing limit for any one response is up.

    You won't be able to install CS2 on a new Intel-based Mac.
    CS2 for Mac was written for PPC-based Macs and will not install or run on new Macs.

  • How can I deactivate Photoshop CS2 on an old Mac?

    I tried to deactivate Photoshop CS2 on my old Mac by using the "Transfer Activation" command on the Help menu. (There is no "Deactivate" command.) Photoshop never recognizes that I do have a connection to the Internet, so I cannot proceed. Is there a way to Deactivate on this computer?

    Forget about it.
    The CS2 activation server was shut down by Adobe a couple of years ago. So you're trying to communicate with a server which no longer exists.
    Error: "Activation Server Unavailable" | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    If you're planning to re-install CS2 on a new Mac, that won't work since CS2 is a PowerPC application which will not install or run on modern Intel-based Macs running newer versions of OS X.

  • How do I install Photoshop CS2 on a MacBook Pro?

    I am trying to install a CS2 version of Photoshop on my mac and the installation keeps failing. How do i get it done?

    Unless your Mac has OSX 10.6.8 with Rosetta, a PPC emulator, you can't. CS2 doesn't work on Intel Macs.

    I have Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended downloaded on my desktop. How can I transfer it onto my new laptop without using the disc I initially used since my new Macbook Pro does not have a CD slot?

    Make sure you are downloading the same product you already have.  If you continue to have problems contact Adobe support thru chat (when they open).

  • Need to install photoshop elements 12 on new Mac - previously on a PC - original download by way of internet - so what to do???

    How do I get the Photoshop Elements 12 from Adobe to reinstall on a Mac vs my previous PC computer. 

    Hi sudi,
    I have checked the serial number of "Photoshop Elements 12" registered on your account, it is for windows only. Unfortunately it can not be installed on your new Mac machine.
    We would need to initiate a request to swap the platform from windows to mac. Please refer to the below mentioned link
    Link: Order product | Platform, language swap
    Meanwhile, you can install a trial version to get going with your new Mac, and initiate the platform swap request ASAP.
    Link to download :  Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe
    Please revert in case of further issues.
    Thanks,

  • How do I install CS 2 on my new Mac OS X vs 10.7? It has a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor?

    Whe I try to istall CS2 I get an error message "You can't open the application Adobe Installer because powerPC applications are no longer supported. Does that mean I cannot run CS2 on the new computer because the Intel processor is not compatible with the software?

    It means exactly that and as of 10.7.x, Apple even pulled the plug on Rosetta emulatrion (you can still download it from Appel and install it, though, they are just not supporting it and stopped development), so yes, upgrading is pretty much unavoidable at some point if you realyl want to work decently....

  • How do I install Creative Suite on my new Mac Book when my old Mac Book is broken and disc has been misplaced?

    My old Mac Book is broken and no longer turns on. A couple of years ago I bought the Creative Suite from Apple and would like to transfer this to my new Mac Book. However, to make things more complicated I seem to have misplaced my disc. How do you suggest I can transfer the Creative Suite to my new Mac?
    Many Thanks,
    Jess

    You would not want to transfer it even if you could.  Transferring doesn't work in most cases.  You need to install using installation files.  You can download those files (can only provide a general link since you didn't indicate the version)...
    Download and Installation Help -
    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
    You will need your serial number to activate, which is normally on the disc case.  If you registered the software when you originally installed it then you might be able to find it recorded in your Adobe account online in the My Products section.
