I am trying to install Illustrator CS3 onto my new MBAir.
I am trying to install Illustrator CS3 onto my new MBAir. I have the CDROM for CS3 and want to download onto the Air. Tried copying the files via TimeMachine share but didn't work. Do I need to buy an external USB to download or is there another option?
Adobe applications typically place files in all sorts of locations, so trying to install Illustrator from a TM backup or copying from another system is very difficult since you probably can't get all the files. You'll need either an external CD/DVD drive or another computer with a drive you can access, either for Remote Disk:

or if it's a Mac to make a disk image of the Illustrator installer CD which you can then copy to the MBA and run.
Regards.

Trying to install Illustrator CS4 onto my new PC. Does not recognize serial number.
Got a new PC last week. Trying to reinstall Adobe Illustrator CS4. Put in disc... typed in the serial number as requested, but it is not recognized. Would appreciate any help.
Thanks.Hi,
Looks like that the version of CS4 which we are installing is an upgrade, If yes you what is the previous qualifying version.
Find the right product and enter the serial number in front of that and bingo it will start working!
Hope it Helps
Thanks -
Trying to install Illustrator cs3, during the installation I am asked for photoshop cs4 disk I no longer have the photoshop cs4 disk
Do you own Illustrator CS3? An older version should not only not be asking you to utilize a newer version in any way, it couldn't even know about the existence of it.

When I try to install Illustrator CS3 on a windows 8.1 machine and get the following error message. " Installer database is corrupt". Have tried rebooting computer etc. and still the same problem, any suggestions?
BrianDany I am sorry you are facing difficulties installing Creative Suite 3 under Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 was not available during the time period which Creative Suite 3 was developed and the last updates released.
I would recommend reviewing your PDApp.log and possibly AMT3lib.log file for error messages which are preventing the installation. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the log files at Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4. You are welcome to post any specific error messages which you discover to this discussion. -
Problems trying to install Illustrator CS3 on a MacBook with Leopard 10.5.2

Ask in the Illustrator forum?

Trying to install InDesign CS3 on a new PC with Windows 8.1.
I downloaded the Installer for CS3 and used the original disks. It appeared to successfully download but would not run. As mine was an upgrade version I did an Upgrade Check but could not get beyond the information required for a qualifying product. I previouisly used PageMaker 7.0 and this is not one of the listed choices. I used the Compatibility Troubleshooter and got an "incompatible program" response. This doesn't make sense given that there is an Installer for CS3. Any thoughts?
I entered the CS3 serial number. As it is a new computer I did not load the old PageMaker 7.0 program that I have not used for years. PageMaker is not listed as a qualifying program. I still have the disks and serial number for this program but there is nowhere to enter it. Given that there is an Installer for CS3 I assumed that I should be able to use the program. Is there any way around this?

I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows 8 it says "The Installer Database is corrupt"
I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on my new Windows 8 PC and when I run SETUP.EXE it says "The Installer Database is corrupt" on both my original CD and backup I made.
The error is here:
Dreamweaver CS3 on my new Windows 8 PC
This will most likely never work. CS3 wasn't even fit for Win 7. Delete the caps.db in the respective caps folder (info here) and then take the usual steps of running as admin, turning off UAC and security tools and possibly using compatibility modes, but as I said, be prepared that this may be futile and you spend a Sunday afternoon without achieving anything...

Running Mavericks on an iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, I've been trying to install Adobe CS3 Design Premium. All components install except InDesign. Is this an installation disk problem, or is there a compatibility problem with the OS?
I fear that you are trying to download OLDER Software on a newer Operating Sysytem Meaning that you need to Install the Latest Version of Adobe on the Newer Operating System for it to work Properly. Be sure to always check the minimum System Requirements.

Old computer died and I am trying to install Illustrator CS5 on new computer.
Last version I had before CS5 was/is Illustrator 10,which has been installed on new computer.
CS5 install says I need CS2,3 or 4 before installing 5, but old computer went directly from 10 to CS5.
How can I repeat this 10 to CS5 install?It does not seem likely that CS6 was upgraded from version 10. You might want to check your purchase history in your Adobe account to see if there is some missing link in the chain of purchases you made.
You can always try contacting Adobe support thru chat to see if they can find information or otherwise assist you in this matter.

I'm trying to install Windows 7 onto my MacBook Pro Mid-2010 (MacBookPro6,2) from a USB drive, since my Super Drive no longer will burn DVDs or CDs. I did the XCODE trick to allow me to make the bootable USB. But when it reboots after partitioning I get this, "No bootable device -- Insert boot disk and press any key" message. When I press a key after reinserting the USB it still won't boot after pressing a key. I unplugged anything connected to it and it still doesn't work. Is there any way I can get it to be recongized or do I just need to get an external disc drive and burn a disc that way?
If your computer came with an inetrnal optical drive, you must use that to install Windows.

I am trying to install garage band onto my ipad but it says i need to be in ios7. but when i go to update my system it says I am upd to date (with ios 5). What do I do??
Download the current GarageBand version to a computer's iTunes library, go to the device, sign into the iTunes App Store with the Apple ID used to do that, and try downloading it from the list of previous purchases. If that doesn't work and you don't already have a copy of a compatible version, you can't.
