I am having problems installing Creative Suite 3 to my new Mac

I bought Creative suite 3 for my iMac a few years ago and recently have a new hard drive for my computer installed. Old contents were removed to an external memory. Now I can´t use my programs (photosho etc.) What to do?

you can't use because you exceeded your activation count?  if so, contact adobe support for a reset:  http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
you can't use because you lack the install files?  if so and if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
and activate with your serial.
if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
some other reason?  specify.

  • 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.

  • Having problems installing Creative Suite 6.

    I get the error message:
    Error Cannot open file "DesignWebPremium_CS6_LS16.7'z. It does not appear to be a valid archive.
    If you downloaded this file, try downloading again.

    Hi,
    I think it's an incomplete download.

    Problem installing Creative Suite 5.5 Premium trial: I get an error messages that says "The following disk images couldn't be opened ... image:Design Premium_CS5_5 ... reason:Invalid checksum. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Sara

    Try uninstall all Adobe software from the PC before installing CS 5.5, then reinstall them back again after you installed CS 5.5.

  • Having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks

    I am having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks.
    I know that iMovie HD works with Mavericks because we are using it on other Macs successfully.   However, those machines were upgraded starting with OS 10.6.   In other words, iMovie HD was installed on these Macs when the Macs had Snow Leopard.
    When I use the iLife 06 disc, I am presented with “You can't open the application “iLife 06” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
    I understand that iMovie HD  is universal, not PowerPC.  How can I get past this to install iMovie HD.
    Thanks

    OK, I made some progress.
    I used Pacifist (Shareware) to open the iMovie HD 6 install packages from the iLife '06 installer DVD (iMovie.pkg and iMovieThemes_Tiger.pkg) and let Pacifist install them to the right places.
    But doesn't iMovie HD 6 require QuickTime 7 to work ?

  • Problems installing Creative Suite CS4?

    I had to have a new hard drive fitted on my intel iMac. When I tried to install Creative Suite Design Premium CS4 I had the usual problem of the installer hanging up at 90%.
    I have spent several hours with Adobe Support trying to resolve the problem. Even they do not seem to be able to find a solution?  At the moment I have a clean instillation of Snow Leopard 10.6.I have not downloaded any updates or installed any other programmes and am still the same problem.
    Does any one have a solution?
    David

    Running the installer through command line may solve your problem. For the steps please refer to solution#3 of the following kb article -

  • Having trouble installing Creative Suite 4

    When I install Adobe creative suite 4 on my mac everything gets installed except for photoshop. When it gets to the menu to select to install Photoshop it will not let me check the box. Does anyone know why?

    Try the CS5 Clean Script:

    Yes, it works with CS4.

  • Problems installing Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium

    I'm trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium on a new computer (Windows 7) from DVD's and receive an Installation Status message at the end of installation that says there were 2 fatal errors, 43 errors, and 43 warnings.  It installs some of the programs, but doesn't install Illustrator, InDesign, or Flash Catalyst.  I've tried installing four times and received the same message each time.  I've verified with Adobe Customer Support that I'm using the correct serial number code.  Any thoughts/suggestions?

  • Problem installing Creative Suite CS4, major help needed

    Basically I need help asap because I uninstalled my previous versions of PS etc to install this and work has to be done.
    I installed the "Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection" yesterday without problems, but then something happened to my machine last night which forced me to do a system restore.
    I restored and the suite was no longer installed, since then I have had many problems trying to install it again.
    It keeps getting up to about 5/8 of the progress bar then it freezes on "Currently installing Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin". I did have trouble trying to install "Adobe Flash Player 10" before and finally managed to do it, but it's still freezing when installing the suite.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Liam

    OK now it's installed, all of the programs work fine except for photoshop.
    I did have photoshop cs2 and cs3 previously installed.
    I load up "Adobe Photoshop CS4" and it starts loading, it says "initialising" etc and then when it gets to "Building TWAIN menu items" it pops up with the "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" message window asking me to "Send Error Report".
    Any ideas please?
    Regards
    Liam

  • Problem instaling Creative Suite 6

    Hey,
    i´, having difficulties installing the Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium on my IMac.
    After 2% of the installtion the dvd gets ejected and a warning comes up that it´s an illegal Version of some kind.
    I have the original DVDs and a valid Key (Should be valid, i installed it a Week ago on my other Imac.)
    I´m running Mac 10.6.8.
    I Tried installing the 30 Day Version, the normal Version with the Key and both with the Internet turned off.
    greetings from Germany

  • Problem Installing Creative Suite

    I just downloaded Adobe Creative Suite, and although the files seem to have all downloaded fine, there is no sign of the installer that Adobe says automatically downloads with the software. So I have the files, but I have no idea how to extract/open them. According to Adobe, the installer is supposed to automatically start installation, but it didn't. How do I install the files. I am operating in Windows 7.

    Hi wildalaska,
    Could you please let us know if the downloaded file ends with .7z or .exe as while downloading setup you need both these files to extract and start the installation. If the downloaded file ends with .7z then use any Extractor softwares like(7zip, Winrar) to get the setup.
    Hope it helps.
    regards,
    Abhijit

  • Problem Installing Creative Suite 6 Production Premium

    I am trying to install the student and teacher edition of Adobe creative Suite 6 production premium. I received the serial number authorization and I can get through all the initial questions however when the install starts it stops at 2% while it's trying to install the dynamic link support. It takes about 30 minutes and then I get this error message: Installation Failed. Adobe Genuine Software Verification Failure.  I have run the cleaner tool and have removed all previous creative suite installations. I am running Windows 7 service pack 1. I have tried this three times..
    I tried to go through live chat but once I finally got to the first representative they couldn't answer the question and I've waited an hour to be connected to a technical support person and no one has come back to address this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
