IMac OS X 10.10.2 using Adobe CS3 problem

I'M READY TO PULL MY HAIR OUT!!!  I've read as many things about reinstalling and none of it makes any sense....
I have the original disc's, I only want to reinstall Adobe Illustrator - I follow the directions to a point, then I'm told to put in the disc for Ai CS3 (OF WHICH THERE ARE 2...1 marked Application and 1 marked Content) but there is no indication which one they want ???? - tried both?  no good!  and I couldn't get just Ai CS3 - keeps saying there are "combining"  files that go with it? but even when I said yes to that - it didn't do anything. DRAT... so 3 days later I'm still stuck... Please somebody HELP!!!!?????

CS3 is not compatible with Yosemite, its time for you to upgrade it.

  • Using Adobe CS3 app's via ARD?

    Hello,
    I'm wondering if anyone has tried to use the Adobe CS3 design app's via a VPN connection. I have a client who's office will be physically inaccessible for 2 weeks plus, but their computer and internet connection will be functioning normally. I've tried and succeeded in setting up a solid VPN connection, and can remotely control her machine via ARD, screen sharing (10.5.x) and VNC.
    The problem arises when trying to use some of the finer control tools within the app's. Specifically, the pencil tool. I get random starburst type rays across the pasteboard. I've checked to make sure that no specific brush strokes are selected. If someone at the office uses the machine with all the same settings the pencil works fine. I've had intermittent success using the pencil in InDesign, but Illustrator and Photoshop consistently give me bad results.
    Any thought would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Randy

    First: if you have CS3 on your computer and do not have the install disks then you are in violation of the software license.
    Second: Minor bugs in Photoshop and Dreamweaver. PS gets slower and slower the longer you work in it.
    Last question: probably not as the installer puts files in various places.
    The operative answer is the first one. You are on your own conscience.

  • Upgrading OS to use Adobe CS3, but still require access to Classic (OS 9.2)

    I need to upgrade my OS to use Adobe Creative Suite 3 (according to Adobe, requirements for this are OSX10.4.8 to OSX10.5) but also need to maintain access to the Classic environment (OS 9.2), to access legacy documents (in earlier versions of PageMaker and Quark), and for some clients. How best to achieve this on my current hardware, which will be upgraded to 2 Mb RAM (four 512 Mb chips, replacing the current two 256 and a 512) very soon.

    Hi Eustace:
    Your solution has merit; and a direction i had not considered. I am, however, a solo operation and do not need to maintain different terminals and computer stations for clients, which having a second computer would suggest; rather, i need to access my own files and folders, and documents, in OS ( applications (e.g., PageMaker) for some of my book-publishing clients.
    For example, a book that was laid out in PageMaker 5.0, some years ago, can be brought into PageMaker 6.5, and thereafter into In-Design, for a reissue, and the creation of a pdf e-book. I cannot do all of this on OX, and will need access to the classic environment for a year or two more, at least. OSX10.4, would seem to provide the answer I’m seeking. Thanks again for your creative solution.

  • Adobe CS3 problems in Leopard

    I have 2 Intel Macs running Leopard 10.5.2: A Mac Pro Quad 2.5, and a brand new MacBook Pro 17" 2.5Ghz.
    On both machines, a clean install of Adobe CS3 Master Collection results in several errors:
    PremierePro and Soundbooth both report "This application is not supported on this architecture".
    Illustrator updates "are unable to install at this time".
    Any suggestions?

    As far as I know there are updates needed for some of the CS3 apps (like Soundbooth) in order to work with Leopard. These aren't yet available. You might want to read this:

  • PC restarts when using adobe cs3 (indesign, illustrator, photoshop)

    My pc restarts specially when using indesign. Sometimes every after 1 hour, sometimes just a couple of minutes.
    I have no idea why is this happening. When I'm playing games, the pc is just fine even when im playing for a couple of hours, which i think is more stressful for the pc compare to just using indesign.

  • QuickTime 7.5 for Leo and Adobe CS3 problem

    PhotoShop doesn't startup after QT 7.5 update it tells "Could not initialize Photoship because disk is not available". AI doesn't startup at all. Dreamweaver works fine, Fireworks works fine, Flash works fine.
    Also, there is a problem with audio application for Mac, MegaSeg. After QT 7.5 update it crashes when you quit application.
    Be aware.

    Illustrator (CS3) works fine, so does InDesign but Photoshop crashes telling "Could not complete your request because of a program error." It worked ok before updating QT 7.5.

  • Unable to resolve installation error for Adobe CS3 Web Premium despite referring to given solution

    Hi,
    I own a copy of Adobe CS3 Web Premium from a few years ago that was bundled with my Fujitsu Lifebook T5010 on Windows Vista.  I wish to install the CS3 Web Premium onto my Acer Aspire X3990 desktop that is running on Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 on 64-bit operating system type. However, the installer prompts the following error: "This software cannot be installed because JScript is not properly registered. Please repair JScript and then restart the installer".
    Checking with Adobe website, I came across the following support page: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-2739-installer-closes-cs3.html
    whereby it says the solution is to manually register the jscript.dll file. I followed the procedure exactly for that of 64-bit system, but then the following new error pops up when I enter in "regsvr32 jscript.dll" onto Administrator: Command Prompt on C:\Windows\SysWow64 : "The module "jscript.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80004005. For more information about this problem, search online using the error code as a search term."
    One thing I note is that on the Adobe web link, the operating system mentioned is Vista, while I am currently running Windows 7.
    Please help, as the few solutions I found on Google search are mostly repeated calls to ensure that the command prompt is run at Administrator level, which I already am doing so. I need something more than telling me what I had already done but not resolved.
    I am asking the same question in parallel to the Microsoft Community page as well, as I do not know where exactly the issue lies with. I hope both sides can give a clear resolution.
    I really need help in enabling me to use Adobe CS3 again, as my Fujitsu laptop that ran it without problems had since died off already.

  • Adobe CS3 Indesign no longer prints under 10.7

    Upgraded the OS to Lion (10.7.1) and found I can no longer print documents when using Adobe CS3 Indesign.  I checked with an apple rep, and they advised that they thought CS3 should still work ..... yeah, right!  I believe this also affect CS4 users, and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling CS3 software as suggested in a forum, with no joy - the problem still exists.  I think Apple should provide a patch to allow compatibilty with software that worked under OS 10.6.  Upgrading to CS5.5 is not an option, as the software is way expensive.  How about NOT putting people off upgrading their OS, Apple?

    I suggest you post your question on Adobe.com's CS forum.

  • Adobe CS3 and Mac Pro

    For professionals using Adobe CS3 on Mac Pro about how much RAM is needed to run all 6 programs together efficantly? I'm looking into upgrades and really need some advice- Any out there to give?
    Thanks,
    Port

    It depends. If you work with files greater than 1GB, almost as much RAM as you want/need (8GB would be good).
    What do you have now?
    Are you use to using a large fast scratch RAID to help?
    The more programs running (and not just CS3 but others as well) the more the merrier.
    Same applies to whether you want 2.66 or 3.0 or 8-core model.
