Installing a full version of Photoshop 6 on new iMac running SnowLeopard

I currently use a PowerPC G5 running OS 10.5.8. The G5 uses the old processors and Photoshop CS5 upgrade won't load because Photoshop CS5 only runs on the new Intel processors. My question: If I buy a new iMac with the Intel processors, is there a way to install  a full version of Photoshop 6, and upgrade for Photoshop 7, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5? When my daughter tried this approach, and tried to install the full version of CS 6, she received the message Classic OS was not installed so that ended the attempt. Do I have to buy a full version Photoshop CS5 for the new iMac? Thanks for any help, Doug

Another, often cheaper, route to upgrade is to find an older version upgrade and do a two step upgrade since you are out of the Adobe window.
You may be able to find a CS3 upgrade, buy that. Then purchase the CS5 upgrade.

This route would still cost $400. But that is still a couple hundred dollars less than buying a full version of CS5 outright.
Just because Adobe stops selling older version upgrades, it doesn't mean all retailers stop selling them.

    I think you mean Photoshop CS2.  Photoshop 2 is from around 1992.  The old Adobe activation servers were taken down. CS2 is about a decade old Adobe made a new download for old customers that legal customers can download and install. Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products

  • Cant install Elements - or full version of photoshop

    I have Photoshop elements installed on an old PC. However most of the time I'm abroad and only have access to a laptop. Recently I took some photo's that I wanted to fix up with photoshop elements. I didn't have the disc on me so I downloaded the trial version to my laptop and used it for 30 days. After the trial period ended I went to look for my elements disk but all I found was the licence codes.
    Then I remembered I had a backup of my whole PC on an external hard disk. I plugged the hard disk into the laptop and ran the elements exe. All I got was an error - "Failed to initialize Vbox (0010-0069-0090)."
    I decided that perhaps it was time I tried the full photoshop product anyway so I downloaded a trial version. When I try to install it, it unpacks 100% but then nothing else happens.
    I want to get the original elements program to work - or else I want to be sure that the full version of photoshop will work on this laptop before I buy it.
    The laptop itself is a decent bit of hardware - HP Compaq nc6400, 2GB Ram, Intel Centrino Duo with Windows XP Pro.

    If you would try to restore installed files from backup, it might not work and probability of not working is very-2 high.
    So first thing you need to check the entry in Control Panel>Add Remove Programs....
    If PSE is there, uninstall it and then install from the trial version you have downloaded.

    So you can install.
    Which version are you installing? Which operating system?
    The real issue here seems to be that your serial number is not being accepted?
    Are you entering the correct serial number?

  • Lost Serialized Insert from PC Ultimate Software Suite-Cannot Install Full Version of Photoshop Elements 12

    I purchased a Dell Inspiron laptop which was bundled with PC Ultimate Software Suite, a collection of programs on one disc. It included Adobe Photoshop Elements 12, but I misplaced the insert that contained the serial key. I still have the sleeve that the CD was bundled with, as well as the CD itself. Is there anyway I can still download the full version of Photoshop Elements 12 without having to buy the program separately or buying Software Suite again?

    If Dell provided the bundle you should contact Dell to see about getting a replacement or the serial for the disk.

  • I recently installed a trail version of a software and now to install the full version i have to delete the trail completely from my mac. How do I do that?

    I recently installed a trail version of a software and now to install the full version i have to delete the trail completely from my mac. How do I do that?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If the new version has an uninstaller run it first. Othewise with Mac OS drag the app to the trash and empty the trash. Do an install if a dialog box asks if you want to replace or keep files with similar names choose replace.

  • Installing a downloaded version of photoshop elements 8 for the mac

    Can someone please help me.  I downloaded version 8 of photoshop elements for the mac (a paid version and not the trial).  When i click on the set-up icon and go through all the required information (i.e., serial number, etc.), the screen goes to checking the system and finally to "preparing to install".  It sits there and does nothing.  I have waited for hours but it just says "preapring to install".  I have downloaded the app a couple of times.  I rebooted a couple of times.  I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.1  I also have the earlier version of Photoshop Elements, version 6.  Can someone help please.  I have holding now for 73 minutes on Adobe's support line.

    Not to sound completely stupid but does this require me to download elements
    again but under the new admin user?

  • Can Adobe Configurator 3 create one panel that can be installed in other versions of Photoshop?

    Hi,
    I am able to create a new panel for CS5 and CS6, however, if I create a CS5 panel (thinking it should work in CS6 as well), when I try to install the panel ZXP file in CS6 Extenstion Manager, I am unable to do so...meaning, the CS5 panel will not load for users with CS6?  Is there any way to create a panel in Configurator 3 that will export one zxp (or similar package file) that can install in multple versions of Photoshop?
    I note in Configurator 2, I was able to export an mxi file that I could convert in Extension Magager 3 and that seemed to open without issue, however with Configurator 3, I don't see any other export options but zxp.  Any help on this would be great!  Thank you!!
    Evan

    Because of the difference of scripting interface of CS5 and CS6, Configurator cannot create a panel that works for multiple versions of Photoshop. You need to create two of them for CS5 and CS6. In your case, I suggest you create a panel of CS5, and then create a version of CS6 by clicking "Edit->Convert to CS6". (Some buttons will be lost if those buttons are not supported in CS6)
    Configurator 3 creates the zxp for you and you need not to create one with mxi file and Extension Manager.

  • I need help with CS6 - it continues to ask me to install the full versions of the programs after I have installed them multiple times.

    Hello,
    I am writing from my computer at work.  I have been working here since May and have been asked to install the full versions of CS6 MANY times now.  I work for a few days and then the count down pops up saying my trial has ended.  I am not working in a trial version - in fact I never was.  The IT dept. here has un-installed and re-installed the CS6 complete versions onto my computer about 4 times now.  We also "checked for updates".  None of these things seem to be working.  And then today to find out that no phone support to being offered to CS users any longer - only Cloud users - I am very disappointed.  We have tried every single thing there possibility could be to fix this.  I use Photoshop and Illustrator every day at work and I can not afford to be locked out of the programs because the trial has ended again and again and again. Please help ASAP.

  • How can Install Middle Eastern versions of Photoshop & Illustrator CC

    How can Install Middle Eastern versions of Photoshop & Illustrator ?
    I have regular versions installed but if I go to reinstall them I dont see ME vesrions.
    Please Help!
    p.s. I'm in Canada and I really hope those versions are not available only in Middle East!

    Kanda the process of changing the input language is going to be different for each application.  I would encourage you to post to the forum applicable to that software title.
    I would recommend posting in the following forums:

    You may also want to search in each of those forums before creating a new inquiry as this topic has likely been raised by someone else previously.

  • Error message when trying to install the trail version of Photoshop

    I get an error message whenever I try to install the trail version of Photoshop? Any help?

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • How can I open grouped folder layers from the full version of Photoshop into my Photoshop Elements 10 verison?

    I have gotten a PSD from a coworker who asked for some help. He has the Full version of Photoshop and I have the Elements 10 version. I cannot open the grouped folders into individual layers and manipulate the current design that needs work. How can I get more functionality out of Elements and ungroup these layers?

    You could get elements+ which is a very cheap add on.
