Installing Photoshop 8 on an iMac

I own Photoshop Elements 8 which is installed on my PC,  I recently purchased an iMac and would like to install the same version.  How do I do this?  The disc I have does not seem to allow me to install it on the Mac.

It should be noted that the platform swap is only available for current versions of our product.  Since you have Photoshop Elements 8 and our current version is Photoshop Elements 11 then you will want to purchase an upgrade to Photoshop Elements 11.  Photoshop Elements 11 is a multi-platform license so you can use it on Windows and Mac.
It is also possible that your Photoshop Elements 8 license is also multi-platform.  You may want to check the box or look at your serial number online.  You can locate your serial number at http://www.adobe.com/ by following the directions listed at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3987968#3987968?promoid=KBHJW.

  • How do I install Photoshop Express on my iMac? (Can I install it on my iMac?)

    I'm a writer working on a book, and I need Photoshop Express (if it's possible) to view the size/resolution of image files that I plan to use in the book.
    I have a contractual deadline of this coming Monday, February 9, to get these photos to my editor in the high-resolution form that they specify.
    Can I do this with Photoshop Express?
    Also, can I install Photoshop Express on my iMac (running OS X version 10.6.8....yeah, I know it's an old OS, but I don't want to do an OS upgrade while I have a pook project in the works.)
    Please let me know ASAP...I'd like to get these images sorted out and ready to send to my editors no later than this coming Friday, February 6.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Photoshop Express is an iOS app, not an OSX program. And no, you can't create print-ready imagery with it. You are looking completely in the wrong place. Find someone to take care of your images or send the raw files to your publisher so they can have their own pre-press team working on them.

  • I installed Photoshop CC on my iMac, where did it go?

    I installed Photoshop CC on my iMac, added it to my dashboard, and when I restarted my computer, all I had left was a semi transparent question mark, instead of the Ps icon.  Went into my applications folder, and Photoshop is not there. 
       I logged into the Cloud, and it won't let me redownload it.   It appears to be installed, but it isn't anywhere on my computer..
    I really need Photoshop for my career.. now what do I do?

    If you downloaded it from the ibookstre then it should be in the iBooks app - in iBooks you've got 'Books' selected via the Collection button at the top of the bookshelf ? And does the ibook show as 'downloaded' when you tap on the Store button at the top left of the iBooks app and then go into the Purchased tab at the bottom ?
    Have you tried closing iBooks app completely and seeing if the book shows when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the iBooks app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How to re-install Photoshop CS on new iMac? [was: Installing]

    My old PC crashed and died and I lost all of my files and programs.  One of the programs I lost was Adobe Photoshop CS.  I talked to a chat tech and she sent me a free link to re-download the program.  It download ok, but it will not install.  I now have a iMac and the file download was a Mac version, but it will not install.
    The message reads: The software is an unidentified developer.

    The message reads: The software is an unidentified developer.
    What Ned said.
    That error/warning is from the new Gatekeeper feature in Apple's Mavericks operating system. It's not from Adobe.
    Gatekeeper is supposed to protect you from malware but it often causes more problems for the end user (like this) than it solves.
    Having said all that, you will not be able to install Photoshop CS2 (the link you received to re-download CS was actually for CS2) on your new iMac running Mavericks (OS X 10.9+)
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads
    CS2 and earlier versions were written for older Macs running older non-Intel processors. Macs stopped using those several years ago. They now use Intel processors which are not compatible with the older processors.
    CS and CS2 (10+ year old software) will only install and run on older (10+ years old) Macs running Mac OS X v.10.2.8–v.10.3.8. PowerPC® G4 or G5 processor. There is no version of CS or CS2 which will run on modern Mac operating systems.
    With your new iMac running OS X Mavericks on an Intel processor, your choices are to buy CS6 or join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee to run CC.

  • Re-installing Photoshop CS6 on new iMac problem.

    I transferred my Photoshop CS6 to a new iMac Retina running OSX 10.10.1, having taken care to deactivate on the old Mac first and then reactivated on the new.  Photoshop comes up with an error message now each time I launch saying that "One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necassary for running Photoshop, are missing.  Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop."  So I did just that with my original installer disc.  At the end of that process it said that there had been some errors and referred me to a log file which said:
    Despite all this Photoshop seems to be working, but every time I launch it I get the same error message.   I've not used it enough since the move to the new Mac to discover if any other faults have developed.  As well as using my original install disc I also tried downloading the CS6 installer from the adobe.com site but exactly the same thing happens.  I would welcome suggestions for a fix...

    Alas, this did not work. I first of all tried the reinstall in Safe Boot mode and at the end of the process exactly the same install error message as shown above.  I then moved to the part of those instructions that said to ditch Adobe AIR and reinstall it.  AIR was not visible anywhere on my machine, nor did that folder /Volumes/Adobe Master Collection exist.  Maybe there's a difference between what CS6 installs compared with the CS5 your instructions refer to (?).  So I went back to the Adobe.com downloads page, got Adobe AIR and installed it - during that it told me it was upgrading my AIR (wherever that was hidden - Find file could not see it) to version 16.  Otherwise no reported errors.  I went a step further and used the Uninstall tool to remove the existing CS6 installation, then tried reinstalling Photoshop - again same issue, same error.  So I'm no further forward after several hours of trying different things.
    Any more ideas please?

  • Failed to install Photoshop Elements on my iMac

    I failed to install my old version Photoshop Elements 2.0, purchased with camera as package. Once I click the installer pop-up message say "You must be logged in as an Administrator to install this product...". I am actually the only user and adimin on this system. How to resolve it? I searched some cased in the community and tried but couldn't find a good solution. Any expert knows? Thanks!

    What are the specs of your iMac?
    What version of OS X are you running?
    PS Elements 2.0 is very old. This version is for old Macs that used Motorola PowerPC processor chips. It will not work on your iMac without your iMac running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard running a PowerPC emulator app called Rosetta.
    If you ard running OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mt. Lion, this version of PS will no longer work.
    You'll need to update it to a new, compatible version.
    Also, any version of PS is CPU! GPU! RAM and HD hungry.
    You may find you'll need to increase the amount of RAM memory in your iMac to run PS Elements.

  • Installing Photoshop 5 on Intel iMac?

    I want to use my Photoshop program on my new Intel iMac. My full program is PS5, which had to be installed before I can upgrade to PS7. Has anyone found a work-around the problem of installing this older version of Photoshop on the new OSX? I don't want to pay $600+ all over again for new software if I can help it.
    KCChoirgirl

    I am reasonably sure that version of PS is an OS 9
    only application. You cannot install it on an Intel
    Mac. If your PS7 is an OS 9 version, you couldn't
    update to it anyway.
    Adobe has upgrade prices for their software. You may
    be able to upgrade to an OS X version for less than
    $600.00.

    Thank you for taking time to answer my question. Unfortunately, it is the answer I feared I would get. But the good news is that Adobe HAS an upgrade solution. I have paid for the full version twice as I have two PS5s. (We own a photography studio in case that sounds weird!)

    Hello,
    what do you think about download a PS trial version, install it and then use your SerialNumber to active it.
    You could use http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html AND note the: "Very Important Instructions" mentioned there.

  • How? Manually installing Photoshop 7 on an Imac  running Os 10.4

    I've long lost the original installer disc, but I rescued a copy of PS7 before my old laptop fried itself.
    It will run from the disc, but it's slow.
    How would I go about installing it on the hard drive?
    Many thanks!

    BOINC would appear to be a Universal application. 
    You can't run Rosetta on a PowerPC Mac. Rosetta is for running PowerPC apps on Intel chips.
    If the software isn't optimized for the processor you have then it will run at a lower speed. Nothing can be done about it.
    kind regards
