How to install PS CS4 without a CD

Hi, I just bought a new Mac Mini taht doesn't have a CD drive and I don't know how to install a Photoshop CS4 on it. I can't find a trial version of CS4 on Adobe website. Can someone help me? Is the only solution to borrow a USB SuperDrive?

Giselle you will want to make sure and utilize the installation files for the correct platform as well as the one applicable to your software license. If you have a retail license then the installation files offered by Ned in message #1 should accept your registered serial number from http://www.adobe.com/. You can find additional information on how to locate your serial number at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
If you have a volume license then the installation files will be available at https://licensing.adobe.com/.

Is it possible to install Fireworks CS4 without other "hang-on" programs?

Hello gentlemen,
The question at hand is simple indeed;
Is it possible to install Fireworks CS4 without other "hang-on" programs? Especially Bridge CS4?
See the problem is were running version cue cs3, and we simply cannot shift to cs4, cause VC CS4 is not recognised by bridge cs3. Hairy yes.
Some of us need ONLY fireworks cs4, cause its miles better than cs3, but it automatically installs bridge cs4. And this kind of sucks, cause
we cant use the cs3 version cue server after that.
Big thanks for your answers!

I don't remember my installer program that well, no. I don't remember if it was possible to de-select Bridge. Did you try custom install to see? What have you tried?
It's possible to remove Bridge....

Brings up this Adobe TechNote article as the first item:
Manually remove Adobe Bridge (Windows) http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/328/328358.html
Have you tried removing the unwanted version and then, possibly, installing/repairing to the old?
If you're uncomfortable editing your registry, then WinASO has a good registry cleaner: http://www.winaso.com/ (That's for Windows. Don't know how Macs do things.)
Other than that, I suggest you contact Adobe Support.

How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc

1a) Here is very useful article from PCWorld.com. The article is entitled "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" and means just what it says. The article also has links to Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder and legitimate Windows 7 ISOs from Digital River, a licensed distributor of Microsoft software. The article lists "Step 1" as;
"Find your Windows 7 product key: Typically this 25-character alphanumeric string is printed on a sticker affixed to your PC or on documentation included with your PC. Alternatively, you can use a keyfinder program such as Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder to pull your product key from the Registry. You need your product key to reinstall Windows."
1b) Using a key finder, however, is only useful if the Windows 7 product key was printed on a sticker (Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity) affixed to your PC, on documentation included with your PC, or sent via email by Microsoft. Assuming your computer came from one of the big brand computer manufacturers... HP, Sony, Dell, Gateway, etc... as most do, it uses a generic "mass activation" OEM SLP key. Trying to use this key by itself isn't going to work. This OEM SLP key needs to be mated with an OEM SLP certificate and an appropriate OEM BIOS with a proper SLIC table.
1c) Here is where ABR Beta With Windows 7 Support comes to the rescue. Follow the "How to use it" section of ABR for Windows Vista for information and instructions on how to use ABR. The steps listed for Vista apply to Windows 7 as well. Perform the "activation backup" to "backup" and save the OEM SLP key and OEM SLP certificate. Save the entire ABR folder to an external location for later use. This will allow you to pre-activate your "clean" Windows 7 install on the computer you pulled the key and certificate from.
1d) Now install Windows 7 from your new "Windows 7" disc or USB stick, following all prompts as needed. Don't enter a Windows 7 product key if request. Also, don't allow Windows to try to auto-activate. Once Windows is fully installed, run ABR "activation restore" to "restore" the previously backed up product key and certificate to the new Windows 7 install. Verify that Windows is activated, repeat "activation restore" if needed.
2) Here is another useful article, this time from SevenForums.com. This arcticle is entitled "Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7" and provides detailed steps required to backup your computer, audit current hardware and software, locate software and drivers, install and activate Windows 7, and create a Windows 7 Backup Image of your fresh install.
Good luck.
Links to additional Windows 7 SP1 "Editions" and "Languages" can be found HERE and HERE.
Link to "ei.cfg Removal Utility". The "ei.cfg Removal Utility" is a simple tool that will remove the ei.cfg from any Windows ISO disc image, thereby converting the image into a "universal disc" that will prompt the user to select an edition during setup instead of being forced to use different discs for different versions of Windows 7.

ervis,
Before formatting the hard drive you should have been able to use the HP Recovery Manager to create your recovery discs or perform a system recovery. This is provided the recovery partition wasn't already corrupt or damaged. If the "D:" HP Recovery partition is missing or damaged and you don't have a set of HP Recovery Discs, you will need to use the information in my previous post to get your computer up and running again.
The information in the document referred you to applies to several different "types" of installations;
Using ABRbeta is only needed if you have an active OEM factory SLP (system locked preactivated) installation of Windows. You use ABR to pull the factory key and certificate off the computer, to reuse it on the same computer with a clean Windows install.
If you are just installing Windows and are going to use the Windows 7 product key on the COA on the side of your computer, all you need to do is download the same version of Windows that your key is for and burn the ISO. Now install Windows answering or following all prompts as needed (except do not enter the Windows product at this time... it will be entered later). Once Windows has completely installed, enter the key and activate it. Your Windows 7 OA key should work on a SP1 install without issue.
The only thing I see that could mess things up, is the language of the install. If you are still having trouble activating Windows, please reference the ISO you download and a post a photo of your Windows COA
with the key erased or Xed out.
Please send KUDOs

How do install new software without a keyboard??

I just got the mac mini without bluetooth.
I am looking to add Belkin bluetooth but I do not have a keyboard - How do install new software without a keyboard??

casimirtad-
Tis a bummer. It is not a bad idea to have a cheap usb keyboard and mouse around for future troubleshooting purposes, but I am not sure that will get you past this.
Have you tried plugging stuff in to see if it works? I don't have a happy feeling that it will but it couldn't hurt to try.

How to Install AIR appliaction Without Admin Rights

Hi All,
Is it possible to install AIR application without admin rights, because many of our user don't have Admin login. I should make the
AIR application to install in all user login. is it possible?
can anyone know how to do this? please post your suggestions and solutions.
Thanks in advance,
Vasanth

On Mac OS, to install or update an AIR application, the user needs to have adequate system privileges to install to the application directory (and administrative privileges if the application needs to update the runtime). On Windows, a user needs to have administrative privileges.
IT administrators can install AIR applications silently using standard desktop deployment tools. For more information, see "Enterprise deployment" in the following page:

How to install PS CS4 64bit in a Dual Boot system

Hi,
I have just created a dual boot system.
Dell XPS 600 3 gig of ram (soon to be 6 gig
Windows XP Pro 32 bit
Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit
The windows OS can not see above 2 gig (and that is a long story but believe me I have had it confirmed - even though a 32 bit system should be able to see up to 3.5 gig). That is why I created the dual boot (into Vista 64) OS.
The Vista 64 bit OS CAN see the current 3 gig (soon to be 6 gig).
Each has its own partition and I dual boot via a 3rd party BootIt NG
Question:
1. What is the proper way (if I even can do it) install PS CS4 on to the Vista 64 bit (in another partition) to take advantage of PS CS4 64?
2. Do I have to delete the XP 32 bit version and reactivate?
3. I do not use Bridge (or do I have to in order to get the 64 bit)? I have seen some threads here about using Bridge so I was wondering about that.
4. I also have IL CS4, ID CS4 and plan to do the same. Is that possible?
5. I know there is an issue with plugins so I will address that matter as it comes up. Hopefully, though the downloaded brushes will work ok in both the 32 and 64 bit envrionments.
Thanks in advance,
Bob

Thanks for the responses. Perhaps more of an explanation as to what I have done is in order.
I purchased this Dell XPS 600 XP Pro system some time ago. It was a "boomer" (powerful) system in its' day.
I subsequently increased the Ram to 2gb. I also have a internal 160gb 10K (rpm) Raptor and and another internal WD 250bg (7500 rpm) HD. I drive 3 monitors with a Nvidia 6800 and a Nvidia Dual port 7800 Gt.
So, all in all, the system is still (by today's standards) fairly robust.
BUT, with PS CS4, I tried to up the Ram from my installed Windows XP Pro 2gb system to 3 gb (given that every spec in the world says a 32bit system can see a max of 3 to 3.5 gb).
On my system. Wrong. It (the Windows XP My Computer Properties system would not see over 2 gb (even though BIOS said there was 3gb!) Additionally, BIOS said my board was capable of 64 bit processing.
After hours with DELL tech support (what a waste), I just concluded I should make a Dual boot with Vista Home Premium 64 bit.
I did, and Vista 64 does see the current 3gb in the system. I should add, I am going to make it an 8gb system and my memory will arrive from crucial.com tomorrow.
So Bob, to address your comment. I started (2 years ago?) with Windows XP Pro 32 bit. I have a ton of applications (32 bitters) on the C drive now. But I want the extra addressing (AKA speed potential) capability of a 64bit system. In short, that is the reason for the Dual Boot.
I just cannot burn the 32 bit bridge due to the number of 32 bit apps on it, but I can now utilize a 64 bit architecture for PS CS4, (and as I now am reading ID, and IL CS4 flavors)
Hope I cleared things up.
And as always, thanks
Bob

NB100 - How to install Windows 7 without CD drive

Hi. I wondering if some one knows how to install Windows 7 whit out a CD player.
I have an external HDD.
Is it posibel to do a image on that one to boot from?

I'm typing this on an NB100 (Upgraded to 2GB of RAM) running Windows 7 RC .
Make sure to update your BIOS to the latest version (1.9 I think) and then you can mount the Windows 7 .iso as a virtual drive using Daemon Tools in XP and run it and do a clean install.
Windows 7 will back up all your documents, music, videos etc in a folder called Windows.old and it will find all the new drivers you need all by itself (at least it did for me). If I remember correctly the only one I had to install again was the Bluetooth Stack.
All the Toshiba drivers and manuals etc will still be on your hard drive too, I think they're all stored on a small separate partition, which I think is pretty neat.
It took me a while cus I did as much research and reading up as I could beforehand but in the end it was really easy. Shouldn't take you more than an hour really.
Windows 7 is also running pretty damn well too. The only problem I have is that sometimes the taskbar disappears after the screensaver has been running, but a friend of mine is having the same problem on his Samsung netbook.

Installing bridge CS4 without Dreamweaver

I have a legal copy of Dreamweaver CS4 and this ships with Bridge CS4. A year ago I upgraded to Dreamweaver CS5.5, but as it is a charity volume license it doesn't come with Bridge CS5.5 and so I want to install bridge CS4. My CS4 installation will not let me untick the Dreamweaver installation, and I don't want that.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks

To put it in perspective for you, consider that Bridge started out as nothing more and nothing less than Photoshop's File Browser.
It was renamed by marketing fiat to help promote the totally artificial suite concept.
Inconsistency between or among applications in the artificial "suites" should come as no surprise.
The "suite" concept is an invetion of Adobe marketing and bean-counting types. The engineering teams are totally independent of each other, they are not only in different buildings but in different cities and states of the American Union, even in different countries. The fact that they have little if any communication among them is highlighted by requests occasionally made in these forums by top Adobe engineers to let the other teams know when there are problems in one application that impact our workflow in another one.
