Install CS5 on Mavericks

Can someone please help me with installing CS5 on Mavericks? Since Adobe will not help...
Ever since did the OSX Mavericks update on my laptop, I have had issues with my Creative Suite 5. I personally feel I should still be able to use this software. After issues of getting it uninstalled, I can now not reinstall it.
I have read up on this to make sure it should still work and on the Adobe site it does state this: Adobe Photoshop CS5, CS4, and CS3 were also tested with Mac OS X Mavericks and there are currently no known major issues.
Please help! Thank you!

according to this, Installation, launch log errors | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CCM
your installer is corrupt.
if you're using a cd, create a desktop directory and copy your cd(s) contents to that directory. click the setup file in that desktop directory.
if you're not using a cd or the above fails, re-download the installation files being careful to check the file size to ensure you have an uncorrupted download.

How do you install CS5 onto a new computer without Time Machine/file transfer

I'm not getting a new computer, but my current one is getting a little old (Macbook Pro V. 10.6.8) and I'm afraid it might crash if I download the newest Maverick system, which is why I want to make absolutely sure I'm able to save and transfer all my old files and CS5 Creative Suite programs if this indeed happens. I don't trust Time Machine to do it; my boss had this happen and Time Machine did not transfer the Adobe programs. I also don't want to rely on Time Machine and any other file transfer (which all new Macs offer) because I've had brand new computers crash because of old corrupt files from my old computer converting over, and the Apple people said it's a bad idea (which would have been nice to know BEFORE the computer crashed and everything. . .) I've been told you can only use the CD to install CS5 onto your computer twice, which I've already done (thanks to my brand new computer crashing once already). So I would like to know how it's possible to install the program onto a new computer should this one crash, without the use of file transfer or Time Machine. I have no interest in upgrading to CC.
Thanks!

Avoid using Time Machine for re-installing Adobe software. It rarely works and usually breaks the activation mechanism.
I've been told you can only use the CD to install CS5 onto your computer twice,
Not quite.
You can install the software as many times as you like but you can only activate the software for use on a maximum of two computers at the same time.
To re-install you will need your CS5 serial number.
Download the installer from Download CS5 products
Install then enter your serial number when prompted.

I have installed CS2 in tiger, then upgrading to CS5 (by CD volume). I've bought a Imac (Maverick). How could I instal CS5 then CS2 in not reconized because it's a power PC soft ? Pleas help me !!

Upgrade installs only require valid serial numbers for verification, no actual install of the previous version.

Install CS5 on two different OS's on the same Platform?

3 questions:
Is it possible to install CS5 on both a laptop and desktop, when each has a different OS? Laptop: Lion and Desktop: Maverick.
And if the Laptop has the history of Adobe software but the iMac is brand new is it still possible to install?
Also is it possible to download CS5 from Adobe website if I can't find the disk?

Yes, but Mavericks is unsupported.
Yes.

Do I need to install CS3 on Windows 7 64 bit before installing CS5 Upgrade?

I am replacing a graphic designer's Windows Vista laptop with a Dell Precision T5500 desktop. Do I need to uninstall CS3 from the laptop and decommission the serial number? Then do I need to install CS3 on the new desktop before installing the CS5 upgrade? I was told I needed to decommission the installation, but I don't remember having to do that with other installations. Thanks in advance!

You should definetly deactivate any software before uninstalling. But you don't have to install CS3 in order to install CS5. Just have the serial number handy for verification. That said, depending upon the user's needs, you might want to leave CS3 available.

How do I install CS5 on my new iMac?

I have just bought a new iMac. My problem is that I want to install my photoshop CS5, which I own on disc. As there is no disc reader on the iMac, I tried downloading photoshop CC and entering my serial number - which wasn't accepted ( it's the only photoshop I could download, was hoping they would recognise my serial number and install CS5 for me). My question is: How can I download/install my CS5 without buying an external disc reader?

You can download photoshop cs5 from here.
Just follow the Note:Very Important Instructions or the download links won't work.

Error in installing CS5

Hello,
I have tried to install CS5 in my MacBook Air OS 10.8.5
I installed all the programs
Bridge, Device Central, Extension Manager, Illustrator, InDesign, Media Encoder, Photoshop
but I do not succeed in installing Acrobat X Pro: I have tried 2 times and always at the end reported this message:
Please see specific errors and warnings below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR: DW050 ...

- 0 fatal error(s), 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Can you help me?
Thank you

I thank you very much but in the meantime I have found a workaround to solve the problem:
Instead of starting from
DVD CS5_5 Design Std 1 / Adobe CS5_5 Design Standard / Install.app
i tried from
DVD CS5_5 Design Std 1 / Adobe CS5_5 Design Standard / payloads / AcrobatProfessional10.0-ISDP, where I launched Adobe Acrobat X Pro Installer.pkg and it worked successfully.
Anyway, thank you again indeed

I am trying to Install CS5.5 on a new computer and it is saying my product key is valid but a qualifying product cannot be found.

I have Adobe CS 5.5 with a valid product key (On the original box) but it wont install on my new work computer. This product is owned by my company and has been used in the past on my old computer.
I enter the product key and get the customary Green Check Mark:
[image removed by moderator]
I Click "Next" and it displays the screen below. I do not have any CS 5.5 programs installed on this computer. (It is brand new - opened and set up this morning)
I used this disk to install CS5.5 on my previous computer which has crashed and did not need to Upgrade anything. I do not have any other product keys to use for the second box and I have found nothing on this problem in the forums.
Any help is appreciated, I am at a loss.

Never share your serial number in a public forum or other non-private communication.
For the second image you show you need to follow the instructions.
You copy of CS5.5 appears to be an upgrade version. THis means it was made available at a reduced price because you had an earlier version that you upgraded from. The second image you show is asking you to provide the information for that older version as proof that you qualify to activate/use the new one.

Is it possible to install CS5 or CS5.5 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM MacBook Pro running 10.6 (Snow Leopard)?

Is it possible to install CS5 or CS5.5 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM MacBook Pro running 10.6 (Snow Leopard)?

Hi Carolyn, thanks for your quick reply. First thing I did before posting my question was to check the system requirements for Creative Suite, both on Apple and Adobe's websites. But I am however confused about the difference between "Multicore Intel processor" vs "Core 2 Duo", and keep hearing stories about CS5 not working properly.

Try this:
clone your system and repair it with Disk Warrior instead
Or try a clean test system install on another drive
A must: SmcFanControl 2.2 - a mere 400 rpm extra to keep air cooling up
Try to run w/o externals. MyBook included.
Is that a 7200.11 1TB? they had a lot of issues.
Run AHT off your OEM DVD.
2008 had to have EFI and SMC updates to deal with freezes on wake from sleep, and like all models, high inrush current. Hopefully you have a UPS and is 1500VA unit.
When you do hard restart from power button, you almost certainly add more directory errors and to files requiring immediate attention to repair and rebuild the directory; and to scan and repair and delete cache and temp files and folders. A must. Invest in bootable backups SuperDuper along with Disk Warrior (or TechTool Pro 6, maybe Drive Genius 3 but I'd rate that #3).
TimeMachine has its own bad habits, especially with Green drives and some externals.
Try to rule out everything and then add back one at a time.
And it may just be time to replace the 8800, very common, a couple threads this week, and it is 3 yrs old. Might want ATI 5870 or 5770.

Can you install CS5 anywhere other than the C Drive?

I already have CS5 successfully installed on my computer and it works perfectly.
The problem I have is that I'm running out of space on my C drive. (Currently 864 MB Free of 64.2 GB).
After a quick look at the stuff I have on this drive, it seem's to make sense to me to move Photoshop to a different drive, and regain over 10 GB of space back instantly. I already have a dedicated Photoshop drive on my computer (H:) which contains all my Fonts, Actions, Brushes etc. It would be awesome if I could install it there instead.
However, where computers are concerned, I know that nothing is ever as simple as it seem's.
Could someone let me know what sort of problem's I could expect from doing this, or even if it is possible to do.
Just out of interest, I started the CS5 installer earlier today whilst still having Photoshop installed just to see if it was something it would let me do. (I have no intention of uninstalling Photoshop from my C drive until I know if it's doable).
As you can see from the image above it shows that I already have Photoshop installed and it shows the location (Highlighted for you in Yellow).
I have tried to change the drive letter to H: but I cannot change the text within that box. I was wondering if that location only relates to the already existing copy of Photoshop. And therefore I would need to uninstall the existing copy before I can change this. Or will that location always be C:\Program Files\Adobe regardless.
In short, Is it possible to install CS5 to a drive other than C: without there being any problems?
Also is it possible to install 2 copies of CS5 onto 2 different drives? So I can test the new one before finally getting rid of the old one.
Any help or advice will be gratefully received.

You would, of course, have to uninstall the current copy before installing Photoshop in a different place.
You can only install one copy of the same version at one time on the same PC.
You're not going to be able to install it in another place just to see if all went well before uninstalling it from drive C:.
And yes, choosing an alternate drive and location into that field with the little folder icon during an install will allow you to install Photoshop on another drive. That allows you to keep the better part of a gigabyte of software off the C: drive.
Keep in mind that there are a number of things (e.g., Adobe common software) that will still and only install on drive C: however, and there's nothing you can do to change those locations.
