Input/Output error plus CS5.1 download error (mac)

Hi. Sorry for the long story.
Yesterday, my Photoshop CS5.5 crashed and I was unable to open the program. I tried all my Adobe products and it was the same. I attempted to uninstall (for some reason Illustrator refuses to uninstall) and had hoped I could reinstall my Creative Suite 4 I purchased back in 2010. I also have a Photoshop CS5.5 disc- all with the serial numbers that came with them, too.
Here comes the problem on my end: my old computer cannot read discs anymore. I tried for several hours to get my MacBook to read the discs- nothing. So, I turned to the forums and found a download link for all of the previous versions of Photoshop. I found Photoshop CS5.5, I hit download. Everything goes smoothly until I look at what I've downloaded- it's CS5.1, not CS5.5
Adobe has mistakenly placed CS5.1 in the CS5.5 Photoshop download and no matter who I talk to through the web tech support they can't seem to understand what I'm trying to say. My serial number works but it's only for CS5.5, obviously. And yes, they've checked, it should still be valid for CS5.5, if I can ever get the download to work for me!
So concludes my first problem.
My second problem is with a message I keep getting when attempting to install any other version of Photoshop- the "input/output error" message. I figured, well, since I can't get CS5.5, I'll try my Creative Suite CS4. But after I download the .dmg and attempt to open the file and start the installation, I get this
I tried Creative Suite 4: Design Standard, Photoshop CS4, and Photoshop CS5- all gave me the same message. Is this an issue with my computer or an issue with the download?
For reference I have a MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8 and I'm trying to install either Photoshop CS5.5 or Adobe Creative Suite 4: Design Standard and I have serial numbers for both

Use another browser for the download, though both your issues potentially point to your harddrive being on the verge of breaking down completely and/or your system requiring an operating system reinstall...

  • 502 error "Installation Failed  Download error.

    I keep getting a 502 error "Installation Failed  Download error. Unable to reach Adobe Servers." Managed after a number of tries to get Photoshop and Illustrator 2014 to download but still getting this message with the other 2014 downloads I want to make.

    All downloaded successfully after a while.
    Cannot think how it could have been firewall related when the error message would appear after the download had started and after a number of tries the software would download? As my message states Photoshop and Illustrator came down after number of tries the rest took much longer.

  • Installation errors with CS5.5 on mac os10.9.4

    Hello,
    I just tried installing from CD a recently purchased copy of CS5.5 design and web premium (student teacher). There were errors with the installation. I've gone through the troubleshooting provided for exit code 6 and 7 but I'm still getting the same errors. I also can't find these errors in the troubleshooting or install, launch errors sections. The errors I get are as follows:
    ERROR: DS013: Verifying payload integrity : Failed with code 1
    ERROR: DF024: Unable to preserve original file at "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Linguistics/5.0/Providers/Proximity/11.00/swd58.ths" Error 0(Seq 408)

    Any help would be wonderful!
    Thanks,

    Hi Amanda,
    You might try copying the installation files from the disc to the desktop and run the install from there or download the installation from here Download CS5.5 products
    If you wanted to make a clean start, uninstall
    Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers (Mac OS X)
    and use the Cleaner Tool - Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    then reinstall

  • Can't open DNG files created with Mac CS5 downloader in Mac CS4 Photoshop

    I recently installed CS5 on my mac but I kept CS4 installed as well.  I notice that I cannot open DNG files created with CS5 in Photoshop CS4.  Bridge CS4 shows the files only as icons - no image thumbnails.  I am able to open these same files on a Windows version of CS4.  Is there some plugin for my mac CS4 that will enable me to access the DNG files created with CS5?  Is there a way to use my CS5 downloader when converting my raw files from my camera to DNG files that will make them compatiple with PS and Bridge CS4?

    Well, yes...but you'll need to modify your DNG Converter prefs to allow for that. You''ll need a recent (ideally current DNG Converter 6.4.1 or above) and click on the DNG Converter preferences and select the correct DNG Converter options. Check DNG Converter 6.4.1 (the current version) and click on "Change Preferences" to be sure select Camera Raw 5.4 and later then make sure CS4 is updated to ACR 5.7 (which is the last version of ACR for CS4) However, the changes made to ACR 6.x really should be adopted since IQ for ACR 6.4.x is a lot better...

    after installing cs5, I needed camera raw updates and was unable to get an error free download of the suggested updates.  What should I do now?

  • Configuration Error 15: CS5 Photoshop for Mac OSX

    I have been running Photoshop on my computer for quite a while. This morning, when I tried to open the program, I received a Configuration Error: 15 and was told to uninstall and reinstall the program. I did this (twice), and still receive the same error.
    I searched all throughout the forums, and the only answer I could find was in regards to error 16 (seems like a similar problem), and followed this link: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/configuration-error-cs5.html
    Unfortunately, my computer does not appear to have the SLS Store or Adobe PCD folders in the Library/Application Support/Adobe folder, so I cannot try this solution to see if it works for me.
    I have successfully opened InDesign, Illustrator and Dreamweaver today. Only Photoshop is not working.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    None of my FULL PRICE CS6 Creative suite works, or Adobe Acrobat xi PRO. 
    all error 16 
    followed instructions on link. Does absolutly nothing. Wated 4k over 2 years on Adobe. I removed and un-installed all products, per Adobe instructions, re-installed. same problem. re-installed Maverics. same problem.
    Contacted Apple was told it was a liceincing issue with adobe server and to contact Adobe for patch. Adobe charges for tech support when you buy their products.  Nothing like buying a new car, then having to rent the Keys!
    Adobe feel free to adress your cutomer base at anytime as we are all having problems.
    If anyone finds answer or can understand the person on the tech support please post answer.

  • Scratch disk error plus canvas image error help

    so i recently restored my computer back to factory settings .. so my computer doesnt even have any new downloaded app .. i download photoshop cs6 now im getting scratch disk errors ..which i dont see possible if my computer doesnt have anything on it (besides what it came with) my hard drive has 276 gb i only used 33 .. so why am i having this problem?? i made an external hard drive and that has 8 gb ... also its moving very slow .. also its telling me i cant make an new canvas size 1920 x 1020 with an resloution of 300 which i know is possible because i done it before so if anybody can tell me what im doing wrong or how i can fix this problem please .. i need photoshop for work . and this is impossible  .. im using  windows 7 toshiba

    Without going into much detail, the scratch can grow to humongous sizes.  In general, figure on 50 to 100 times or more the size of your largest file multiplied by the number of files you have open.
    My preference is not to work with less than 200 GB of contiguous, unfragmented available drive space for scratch on a physically separate, dedicated, internal hard drive as my primary scratch disk.
    Also consider that if you rely on your boot drive for primary scratch disk, Photoshop's scratch is sharing that space with the swap files of the OS.
    That's one of the issues, and it can be be made much worse if you have a faulty drive.  A badly fragmented drive would also be a big problem.
    As for that external drive with a pathetic 8 GB of remaining available space, you should back it up, store it in a safe place, a get a new one.  Any time any one of your hard drives gets to be 80% full or more, you are already in a heap of problem.  With that little space left, you should make sure it's not being used even as a secondary scratch disk.
    Hard drive real estate is very cheap these days.

  • Damaged Photoshop CS5 Download for Mac

    First of all, just switched from a dinosaur Dell to a Mac and then ordered a subscription for Photoshop CS5. Had it on my computer as a trial and deleted it. Now every time I try to download the software onto my computer, I go to click the icon and it tells me the program is damaged or incomplete. I'm frustrated. Tried deleting all adobe system files off my computer and starting over again but I think I'm digging myself into a deeper whole. I'm a rookie at the mac operating system and I'm lost. Please help

    Did you run the uninstaller located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers?

    No most likely if you have a retail or education license it is single platform.  I would recommend you review Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap.

  • Download error, message body could not be downloaded

    Someone please help me with this.  I've had the Q10 since it came out and ever since I've had it there are emails that will just not open.  These emails are simple text emails.  I thought this was normal and didn't think anything of it until I spoke to a coworker who also has a Q10 and he is not having the same issue.  So I searched high and low to try and find a solution and nothing. 
    To be clear this only happens to a few emails. 
    I tried pulling the battery.
    I tried software updates. I am running BB 10 OS Software Release 10.1.0.238.  Nothing better then this available.
    I tried deleting anything older emails since I did see somewhere in my search for an answer that there maybe an old email with odd characters causing the issue. 
    Still nothing.
    When I open the email I get the header info i.e.. Who it was sent to, from and subject.  I get the flower with the word image001.jpg and the size of the file (again this is a txt file no images).  And in the middle of the screen I get the circle going around for about a minute as if it's loading and then the error pops up;
    Download Error
    Message body could not be downloaded
    Cancel OK
    hitting Cancel or OK just brings me back to my list of emails
    Any suggestions of fixes would be appreciated. 

    i have the same " download error " but with BBM invites
