Installing indesign : asking for photoshop disk

after a hard drive crash, i'm trying to reinstall all my programs. i've successfully installed photoshop and illustrator but during my indesign cs3 install (downloaded from the adobe.com) it asks me to insert my photoshop cs4 disk. since i've purchased photoshop online i obviously don't have a disk to install. the last disk i have is photoshop cs. i tried inserting the disk to see if it would would and it doesn't.
so, issue #1, why is it asking for a photoshop disk when i'm installing indesign
#2, how do i work around this?
called the help line but they won't help me because it's not the current version of indesign.

That's pretty strange. The CS3 installers were pretty flakey, though....
What's the OS?

    Do you own Illustrator CS3?  An older version should not only not be asking you to utilize a newer version in any way, it couldn't even know about the existence of it.

  • I lost my original disk for photoshop 7... I need to update.. it won't let me.. and keeps asking for the disk.. even though the program is on my pc... How can i get my update?

    I have photoshop 7 on my pc but have lost my original disk.... I went to update it and  the update is not seeing the file on my pc... and it keeps asking for my disk.. but i can't find it...
    How can i update it...

    Ah, you had Photoshop 7.0 working, and now it's not.  I see that as a separate issue to updating it.  I'm not sure why it would ask you to update it.
    Do you know whether you have 7.0 or 7.0.1 at this point?  You might be able to do a Properties function on Photoshp.exe and see that info.
    You could make an attempt to reset Photoshop's preferences to defaults.  Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt simultaneously immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set.  If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.
    Only other thing that comes to mind is to use Windows System Restore to restore back to a restore point where Photoshop was working, or restore from a backup (you do make backups I hope).
    If that fails, and you need to do a fresh install but no longer have the original disk and serial number I'm afraid you may be out of luck.  There's no place I know of from which to download a fresh full copy of Photoshop 7.0.

  • Install asks for a disk?

    I downloaded Illustrator CS5.1 (for Mac) after purchasing it online. But during the install process it asks for a disk. How do I install the software without a disk? I thought everything I needed was in the downloaded files?

    Yes, you only need your download. However, you may have other Adobe software on the system that you once installed using a disk and it messes with the AI installer. The best way to resolve such issues is to run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and start with a clean slate.

  • [SOLVED] Diablo 2 wont stop asking for the disks

    No matter how I try to install Diablo 2, it always asks for the disk even when the disk in in my drive. I have tried installing it on a Windows XP machine, updating to the latest patch, and then moving it to my computer, and I have tried installing from the disks directly. Both times, it asks for either the Diablo 2 install or the Expansion disk.
    What is weird is on my previous Arch build with XFCE4, installing with the disks got far enough to the part where you switch disks but I was having problems unmounting them while still keeping the install going. Transferring from the XP machine worked but the game crashed. This is probably due to my winecfg settings. But I'm not sure what I am doing differently this time on KDE.

    Oh I see. That worked perfectly. Thanks!

  • Printing from InDesign asking for computer login password

    Hi. Just got new MacPro, CS4 Design Premium. Every time printing from InDesign asking for computer login password. Never happened with CS3. Is there any way to avoid job holding in printer's dialog box, waiting for authentification?  No problems printing from Acrobat, Photoshop or Entourage etc. Checked computer preferences, nothing shows permission/security restrictions are applied. What could cause holding print jobs from InDesign?
    Here's what it says in Status field: On Hold (Authentification required)...so I have to click “Resume” every time, enter password and only then it prints.
    Printer: HP5100 laserJet. HP did not associated this issue with printer or drivers. Please help. Thanks!

    Thanks for your help, Marvin!
    Sharing has been set up, PW is in keychain. Still asking for "authenification"..
    After talking to Adobe tech support, here's the answer:
    "Issue:  When attempting to print, customer is continually asked to authenticate.
    Resolution:  Printer is possibly too old to understand the print data InDesign is outputting. Try updating drivers or using a newer printer".
    I guess I will request new printed from management, mine is 2003...

  • Keeps on asking for "repair disk" after i moved the application to a folder

    Hello, I moved a .app to a folder then whenever i open the app it ask for "repair disk" but when i move it back where it was originally installed, it doesn't have that. is there a way so i can leave that app in the folder and the "repair disk" stuff wont pop up? Also, is someone wlling to give me the icon folder for Adobe Premium CS3 please?

    Some apps don't like to be moved - especially if they were installed using an installer program.
    If you want to organize your apps, it's best to leave them all where they are in /Applications folder, and create aliases to them. Then organize the aliases into custom folders.

  • Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Edit

    Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
    I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

    Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

  • ITunes keeps asking for a disk while I am trying to uninstall

    I am trying to uninstall iTunes so that I can reinstall it.  However, it keeps asking for a disk.  Also I have tried to use Windows Cleanup Utility 7.2, but get an error when I attempt to run it.  I think I may have started uninstalling the components in the wrong order.  Any help is appreciated.  I am using Windows 8.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    If you cannot get a component to uninstall properly move on to the next one, then delete the named folder. The reinstall should be successful.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    why every time when im going to install games that cannot be installed and asking for newest version of iphone software, how can i upgrade newest version of iphone software?

    Plug your phone into your computer running iTunes. Click on the phone in the left pane of iTunes. Click the "Check for Updates" button on the right.
    If you have a 3G, the highest you can go is 4.2.1.
