I can't get Photoshop CS3 to start up?

Just installled SL and CS3 won't start up? Just hangs on loading screen?
New MBP.
Any idea's
Thanks

Try removing the TWAIN plug-in and see if you can get it to at least start-up without problem. I have CS1 and evidently long ago deleted the TWAIN plug-in, but I believe it should be in the plug-in folder inside the application folder:
Mac HD/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS/Plug-Ins/TWAIN
This has worked in the past (which is no doubt why mine is missing).

I can't get Photoshop cs3 extended to work with Mavericks? Ideas?

I currently have photoshop cs3 and just upgraded to Mavericks on my Mac. No I cannot use cs3. Is there anything I can do to get cs3 to respond?

Found this on Canon's site about Lion problems which doesn't sound too promising. It says they hope it's fixed by 4th quarter 2011 but that's past now.

CS3 and PowerPC Mac - can't get Photoshop CS3 to install

I'm using a PowerPC based Mac - OSX v 10.4.11. I tried to install the CS3 suite - some apps installed fine, some did not. Photoshop CS3 did not install. Now when I try to use PS CS2 quite a few features are missing, particularly in the filters menu. Has anyone seen this? Please help!
Thanks

You almost certainly will have to remove CS3 from your System before you can re-install CS2. After you have installed CS2, you can then re-install CS3 in addition.
Use the Adobe Uninstaller and run the CleanScript as well for good measure.

Then repair permissions both before and again after installing the software.

I can't get Photoshop CS5 to start

I just received Photoshop CS5 (Version 12.1 x32) and after installing it on my Dell Latitude Laptop and launching the program, I am receiveing the following error:
Owl Orphanage: Photoshop.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x13ae1a2e" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be read".
This is occuring as Photoshop is "Starting-up plug-ins...ScriptingSupport'.
I have checked my system requirements and ensured that my video driver is up-to-date and all of that seems to be in order. Any ideas?

Have you installed any 3rd party plug-ins, or reconfigured Photoshop's "Extra Plug-ins Folder" setting?
If not, you have some system problem... There were some reports from way back that cited a workaround (NOT a proper fix)- they basically suggested renaming the Adobe plug-in ScriptingSupport.8li to ~ScriptingSupport.8li in the Photoshop installation area to avoid starting the scripting support package for now.

Can't get Photoshop CC panorama maker to align images properly on distant horizons.

Can't get Photoshop CC panorama maker to align images properly for objects further away (ie For distant horizons) Tried reloading CC but no better. Tried manually aligning images but when finished seems to jump and misalign everything as if I'd used auto. Is there anything I can do / doing wrong or is there a software glitch. Never had this problem until started using CC?

Hi Guys - Thanks for the info.
I have now downloaded the latest upgrade for Photoshop CC 2014 (the one that now opens photoshop with a face like 'The Scream') and it seems to have cured the problem. However, now Photoshop couldn't run any slower if it tried. Really really slow, and the more Panoramas I try to do, the slower it gets. Oh well, at least it works now.

Can't install photoshop CS3

I need to use an older version of Photoshop. Adobe said it was my mac.
I'm on 10.6.8 and can't install photoshop CS3. I've uninstalled and when I try to install, I get: please insert CS4. Doesn't sound right to me.
I called Adobe and they wanted $69 to fix the problem. They looked at my crash reports and said it was my mac. I was afraid to let them touch my mac so I didn't go for it. He said I will have problems with other Adobe installations if I don't hire them to fix my mac.
Can anyone read crash reports and help me out? I'm not sure which to include, mac or adobe.

It works so so on another computer, but when I want to copy the files there is a pop-up saying that such an action cannot be done.
I still cannot install it even on that computer.
Is there another way? Or am I forced to buy CS3 all over again.
Using Windows Explorer I have copied a CD's files and directories to a directory on my hard drive to install from there... I have NEVER seen a pop-up saying I could not copy the CD's files and directories

How can I transfer Photoshop CS3 to my new computer

How can I transfer Photoshop CS3 to my new computer. I cannot find the original documentation with serial number etc

For downloads of CS3 see THIS thread.
For your serial number, if Photoshop is still running on your old machine;
Start Photoshop. Goto Help > System Info. Buried in amongst all the stuff in there will be your serial number. Read through it carefully.
If Photoshop is not installed / running on your old machine, then you are indeed pretty much hosed.
This is always assuming software that old will run successfully on a new machine, of course.

How can I get photoshop and Illustrator CS5? I cannot see it anywhere. My computer(PC) can only use CS5

How can I get photoshop and Illustrator CS5? I cannot see it anywhere. My computer(PC) can only use CS5

If you do not own a license for CS5 there is not much you can do to get it thru Adobe. They only sell current versions of their software (CS6 or Creative Cloud). You would need to find a third party vendor and take your chances with them.
If you do own a CS5 license you can download the software thru the following page and use your serial number to activate:

Can't get Photoshop Elements 11 to install. Adobe Installer message: Installer failed to initialize.

Can't get Photoshop Elements 11 to install.

TS3212 I can't get my itunes to start downloading the new update on my pc.

About two weeks ago, my itunes on my pc said there was an update available, but I put off updating it until I can do it at night when I have more download capacity available. Now I can't get the message asking to update to come up again, and when I search for available updates, it says one is available, but when I select to download it, nothing happens. I've tried over several days now. Restarted computer and itunes, but still can't get the download to start. Never had this problem before.I have Itunes version 10.6.3.25 on my pc right now and it says version 10.7 is available. I can't get the download to start off the Apple website either.
Thanks,
Liz

Could you walk us through what happens when you try to download an installer from the Apple website, please?

Can't install Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP SP3

Hello, I recently have reformated my machine and installed XP SP3
sadly now, I can't install Photoshop CS3, when I double-click on Setup.exe, it show me a small bar/dialog which tells me it's extracting files, but after that, NOTHING HAPPENS
I left it for an hour, and again, nothing happens. I checked my Task Manager and I found that Setup.exe and Msiexec.exe are running but with completely 0% of system resource.
I tried everything possible, nothing worked for me, I really need Photoshop CS3 for my work.
thanks advance
JohnX

I hear ya. that's on an existing system with an upgrade. i've solved (well, resolved) a remote desktop problem with a rollback to sp2.
but on the clean xp pro sp3 system (1st app install after anti-virus and firewall), the cs3 install took about 10 minutes. very fast very smooth.

I can't get photoshop CS6 to import from my HP scanjet 5590? I have tried plug ins, and reinstally scanner software but it only recognizes my main scanner/printer!

Hello & Welcome to the forums,
but it only recognizes my main scanner/printer!
Does this mean your HP Scanjet 5590 is a 2nd scanner you have on your computer?
Are you able to scan with 5590 on a different application? Is it only Photoshop that is giving you this problem?
Please let us know details about your operating system and its version too.
Do tell us how you're trying to 'import' pictures from your 5590 scanner.

I can't get the laptop to start. I get to the gray linen screen with a gray apple and stop. It will not ask for log in.
