Installing CS2 so I can install cs4 upgrade on windows 7

I just got a new pc has windows 7 pro OS and need to install my adobe CS. I have CS2 with a CS4 upgrade.  As you can probably guess i am having trouble getting the cs to install. I would like to upgrade to cs 5.5 but if I cant get the cs 2 on to upgrade to cs 4 I doubt i can get a cs5.5 upgrade installed!   I have tried installing cs2 a couple times and keep getting the serial number screen.  When I uninstalled it I had to deactivate it so it would seem that it was acttive just unusable. I will try running the cs4 uopgrade in thje AM but was wondering if anyone can tell me if this is a waste of my time or is there actually a way to get this installed and working properly.  any help is greatly appreciated.

I bought it from Adobe. Full upgrade price. It was about 3 years ago -
about. I wanted a backup in case Freehand tanked. Kept using FHmx and
forgot I even had CS4. So FHmx tanked Friday and I can't get it to show
the toolbars. So, I'll  install CS4 and work all weekend on this rush
job. I'm on a Mac. OsX.6.8. Also on Aleve until I get this solved!

  • I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it.

    I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it. Adobe no longer supports activation. Is there a way I can keep using CS2? I need to get files back and forth to my coauthor. I also have CS6. I understand that files can go form 2 to 6, but not backwards. Thanks Robert

    Hi,
    I am trying to install 'Playonmac' so I can install Meta Trader 4 - however each time I reach the next button in order to install XQuartz it hits a dead end
    - the 'Installing Quartz' window is saying installing Quartz, but all it does from there is the clock the spins around, just keeps spinning and nothing happens - I have waited and waited for it, but it just kind of freezes there.  I have reloaded the software over and over, and even switched off the firewall in case it was blocking Playonmac.  It is really important I load Meta Trader 4 on my Mac.
    Help will be much appreciated - Has anyone had this sort of problem?  Does anyone know how to resolve it? 
    Regards

    According to wiki "the documentation from Apple states that Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista is requisite for a Boot Camp installation, and it also mentions that trying to install an unsupported operating system could prevent the computer from booting even into Mac OS X". Sure that was from wiki, but it does seem to support and somewhat validate the problem I had with installing an earlier edition of XP.

    Thanks for the info on the Filesystem info. My problem is that installing OS X on a mac is just a little bit more technical than installing Windows on a PC as there are a few more things to consider. Plus I'm not familiar with any of the utility programs as well. It's a **** miracle I managed to somehow create a volume to install OS X on when I thought I was erasing the partition I created for WinXP.
    But I'm still not sure about the missing 40GB from my 500GB HDD. Upon coming to the desktop straight after OS X was fully re-installed I noticed that the HDD only had 460GB and that 440GB of it available space. So the full installation of OS X was 20GB, but where has the other 40GB gone? I swear I saw that I had much more available space on my harddrive (BEFORE I tried to partition my HDD under Boot Camp Assistant and stuffing up the computer). Is the missing 40GB from the ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALL of OS X INCLUDING all my iTunes music and other files I uploaded to the computer earlier? It would make sense but there's no way, as far as I know, of checking this. Any ideas?
    Cheers.

  • I bought a mini ipad in UAE and has installed facetime how I can install?

    I bought a mini ipad in UAE and has installed facetime how I can install?

    You can't install FaceTime. For iPads bought in the UAE and Saudi Arabia (and possibly a few other countries) it is blocked by the device's serial number due to restrictions by those countries governments and it can't be installed, including by iOS updates.

  • I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. After a few weeks the HDD failed. New Leopard install reports: "insufficient memory". I need Tiger install disks so I can install

    I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard.
    After a few weeks the HDD failed. I bought a new disk, installed it and trued to install Leopard, but the  install fails reporting "insufficient memory".
    I assume the installation requires more memory than the OS actually needs to be able to run.
    I need Tiger install CD/DVD so I can install Tiger first and then upgrade to Leopard.

    Call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a reasonable fee, they will supply a replacement set of system discs (if available).
    The discs will be for the original version of the OS that was pre-installed when the Mac was manufactured.
    You need much more RAM than that.

  • Do you have to get a full windows disc to install on mac or can you download the full windows with a product key?

    Well I've been trying to find a full installment of Windows 7 32/64 bit Ultimate/Home Edition/Professional but I can't find a disc. So basically I'm asking can I just download Windows 7 from the internet with the product key or do I HAVE TO get a disc and install it through Bootcamp?

    I don't know if you can legally download a full Windows 7 installer, but if you can find one, you just need to copy the image to a flash drive. See:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
    and
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4087200?start=0&tstart=0
    Amazon has several different versions of Windows 7 available on disk, though. Have you tried them?

  • I currently have Windows 7 on my PC and before I install Firefox would it be beneficial to upgrade to Windows 8.1 first?

    I currently have IE 10 and I own a small business using services from 1&1.com. I've heard that Firefox is a better supported internet browser (than IE 10) when viewing various websites like 1&1.com. I also do a lot of work using Quicken and QuickBooks (using their latest systems) plus Excel and Work documents.
    FYI: I also have been having IE 10 freeze problems when I have a number of tabs (around 7 or more) open in IE 10 at the same time. I don't believe it's a virus issue as my anti-virus/firewall system (Webroot Secure Anywhere Complete) hasn't detected anything and I regularly clean my system's cookies/browsing history.

    I doubt is there is any benefit to upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 7 just for Firefox at this time. IMO, Windows 7 enjoys greater compatibility with Firefox for the time being.

  • Satellite U500-11G - Can't activate upgrade to Windows 7

    Really sorry about this, but with new Satellite U500-11G cannot activate the upgrade to Windows 7. Keep being told on entering serial number that it was origonally installed with Vista, but no info on how to activate.
    Any help out there please?

    Hi
    Have you used a Microsoft disk to upgrade to Windows 7? As MisterX wrote normally the preinstalled OS is always activated and I can confirm this. I never had to activate my copy of Windows.
    If you use the Windows 7 upgrade kit from Toshiba you dont have to activate your version.

  • I uninstalled acrobat 7.x and chose to save license info.  Now I can't install CS2.  How can I uninstall license info?

    OK,
    I bought Acrobat 7 quite a few years ago, but it cost me $450.  I believe I should be able to keep using it or at least the alternative (CS2 ?)
    So I went through the instructions to remove Acrobat 7 from my computer (Win7) and when it asked if I wanted to save the License information I clicked yes.......I think that was a big mistake, because later I downloaded CS2 and the installer won't work.
    Error Message:  Error 1310. Error writing to the file: C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Acrobat7.0\AcroPDF.DEU.  Verify that you have access to that directory.       abort      retry     ignore
    I believe I have to remove the Acrobat 7.0 license information from my system, but I don't have the abilities to do it.  I have attempted changing permissions on the folders, but no avail.
    Can someone please help me?  It seems that Adobe no longer supports me in any other way than this community.
    Thanks
    Curtis

    That message doesn't suggest to me anything about licenses. Rather it does suggest a problem with permissions on that folder and the user you are using to install. Can you create files in C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Acrobat7.0?

  • How do I install CS2 from discs so I can update to CS3

    I have a mac pro, I have CS2 discs and have the serial numbers for an update to CS3 however I cannot install CS2 on my mac pro.
    I am also frustrated that no matter what I do I cannot get in contact with Adobe.

    CS2 will not install on modern Intel-based Macs. It is written for PowerPC based Macs only.
    That being said, you don't need to install CS2 in order to install your CS3 upgrade.
    Just install CS3, enter your CS3 upgrade serial number then enter a valid CS2 serial number.
    If your CS2 serial number is not accepted, try using the one published by Adobe at this link
    Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
