Installing CS4 on new MacBook Air

I seem to have run into a problem that no one at my nearest Apple location can figure out so hopefully someone here may have an answer. I recently purchased a MacBook Air. Previously, I had a MacBook from 2006 that had all of Creative Suite 4 downloaded onto it. I uninstalled everything on my old laptop and tried to install it on the Air. However, the programs will not install. It says I am missing certain components and therefore, cannot install. The content on the discs even seems to be different.. I remember just seeing all the applications and was able to just drag and drop before ontop the desktop to install them. This time, I have to dig through 15 folders to find the application and even then, not all of them appear.
If anyone has any suggestions at all, it would be greatly appreciated!

Jeff, I did not. I honestly wasn't even aware of Migration Assistant. However, my old MacBook has basically been cleared of all my previous applications and files since I was intending on selling it now since I have my new one. The disk drive in my old Macbook also does not work anymore either. The disc will literally just spin and then stop. Because of that, I cannot install CS4 back onto it either. Is there another way for it to still work?

How can i install windows on new macbook air using remote drive on the bootcamp partition

Hi all, I just purchased a new macbook air mid - 2011 with OSX-Lion installed on it. I wish to install Windows XP on the boot camp partition but have not purchased the external super drive. Is there some way that I can install windows on boot camp using remote drive of my other macbook pro system.
If this is possible, then please guide me.
Thank you,

Since I do NOT use anything from M$, I am afraid I am not right person to help you.
I would suggest that you post your question for help over in the BootCamp forum loacted here

Can't install Flash on new Macbook Air

I've just got a new Macbook Air - new to this!
I have tried to install Adobe Flash Player with no success, can someone help?
Everytime the download gets to around 50%, it stops and tells me Safari needs closing - however it isn't open.
I've already tried a 'clean install' and rebooting from searching these kind of forums.
Help! (laymans terms please - I'm not that 'techie'!!)

1. Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
   Download it first.
   The next step is important.
   Click Safari in the menubar and select “Quit Safari”.
    Follow the prompts and install it.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Allow Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
    Enable it.

Installing CS4 on new MacBook Pro

I am trying to install CS4 Web Premium (student edition) on my new laptop (MacBook Pro, Mac OS 10.7.3, 2.3GHz Intel Core i7) using the install disc. However the disc stops during "initializing" and there is no error message. I have cleaned and checked the disc and there is nothing visibly wrong with it.
Is CS4 incompatible with my laptop or is it the disc? If it's the disc, can I download a version of CS4 Web Premium?

Can't install CS4 on new MacBook Pro

I'm trying to install CS4 on a brand-new MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.6.3. The Setup doesn't even start. I get an error message: "Setup cannot be opened because of a problem." It says that Setup won't work with this version of Mac OS X.
In the Terminal details, there is the following error:
Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/asneu.framework/Versions/A/asneu
Referenced from: Users/...
Reason: image not found
I get the same error whether I double-click on the Setup.app or do Open Package Contents > Contents > MacOS > Setup.exe.
I have researched this error and found that other people have had the issue when the setup process is 90% through, but I can't even get mine to start. I've tried using the CleanScript app from Adobe, but since I don't have another version of Creative Suite on this brand-spankin-new computer, there's nothing to clean or uninstall. I've also tried creating another admin login to install from that, but to no avail.
Any help out there?

the error says library not found. Somehow the install program does not execute properly. It might be a problem of the disc. If you have a second computer or an external Drive try to install from there and see if the same error occurs. If it does, then it must be the CDs. If not then we have to investigate further.

Installing CS4 remotely onto Macbook Air - disc 2 won't launch

I own CS4 Design Premium and have it installed on my iMac. I just recently bought a MacBook Air laptop and am trying to install it on there as well. However, the MacBook Air doesn't have a CD drive. So, I turned CD Sharing on on my iMac and connected via Remote Disc to the CS4 Installation CD (disc 1) on my laptop. Disc 1 worked fine, but then I was prompted to insert disc 2. So, I removed disc 1 and inserted disc 2 from my iMac, however the prompt doesn't go away. It gives me the options to either click "OK" or "Cancel installation". I clicked OK several times and nothing happened, so my only option was to cancel. Now I'm not sure what to do to get disc 2 installed. When I insert it, no installation is automatically launched...I only see two file folders on the disc....one that says "extensions" and one that says "payloads". Can anyone tell me where to go from here?

then download the files:
if you follow all 7 steps, you can dl a trial via one of the links on this page: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a dl problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps. typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem.

Installing CS4 on new MacBook (OS X 10.8.3) without CD drive

I recently purchased a MACBook Pro laptop (OS X 10.8.3) and want to install the CS4 I purchased several years ago. I have the installation CD but unfortunately, there is no CD/DVD drive on the laptop. How do I install the CS4?

If you find difficulty in downloading from Prodesigntools directly by clicking on the links, then following is the correct way to do it.
1) Right click on the Link 1 link and copy link address.
2) Go to appropriate Suite page on Adobe products page. http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/
3) Choose the Suite that you own in CS4 and click on Try link to go to the Suite's trial page.
4) Sign in with your Adobe ID by clicking on the top right corner of the webpage where it says "Sign In".
5) Refresh the Suite's trial page so that it says on the top right corner of the webpage "Welcome, your name".
6) Now Paste the link that you copied from Prodesign tools.com in the address bar and hit enter.
7) Save the file on your desktop.

Does the new Macbook Air not have iLife and iWork Apps?

My old Macbook Air came with iLife and iWorks installed. My new Macbook Air with osX does not. Am I missing something?

It comes with GarageBand, iMovie and iPhoto. If you want pages and numbers, must buy in the App store or theiWork DVD.

Installing a used copy of photoshop CS4 onto my macbook air?

I just bought a new macbook air and want to install a used copy of adobe photoshop CS4 onto it. I purchased it off of craigslist and it has the install CD. Obviously I cant use this on my air. I do have a desktop mac with an optical drive if that helps to transfer somehow. Thanks in advance!

Here is Adobe's statement on Lion Compatability.
As crh24 pointed out you may also have trouble activating it if ownership wasn;t transferred properly.

I am trying to install Iphoto on my new MacBook Air adn the install button is grayed out Any suggestions

I am trying to install iphoto 09 on my new MacBook Air and the install button is grayed out. Both for installation and custom install. Is there a problem that I am not aware of?

Check for receipts
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?
