Installing Photoshop CS with a upgrade disk

I would like to install an upgrade version of Photoshop CS(3,4,5, etc) on a Mac Pro. I have an older version of Photoshop on a Power PC type Mac. Can I install the newer version of Photoshop CS if I have the old install disk? Or will only a full installation disk work?
Thanks

Yes, that's correct. CS2 and earlier are PPC. Here are the system requirements for all versions of Photoshop back to Photoshop 1, if you click on "older versions" at the bottom of the first page.

Although the specs don't mention it CS3 was the first version to run on Intel based Macs.

Re installing Photoshop CS4 on an upgraded computer and it will not accept serial number

Re installing Photoshop CS4 on an upgraded computer and it will not accept the serial number. Unable to deactivate Photoshop before upgrading computer due to hardware failure. Note that Adobe Photoshop CS4 New Install Bundle package consists of the new Photoshop CS4 Upgrade bundled together with the qualifying product, in this case an Adobe Photoshop CS2 License. I have tried both the CS2 and CS4 Serial numbers and both have not worked.

•Install Photoshop Elements with an account that has administrative privileges

I will be upgrading to photoshop elements 12 and read that it was necessary to install photoshop elements with an account that has administrative privileges. I'm not sure how to do this.

I guess I’m wondering if I upgrade to photoshop elements 12 whether the problem will continue with 12
There is no problem with any of the PSE versions. I have used version 10, version 11 and version 12 in trial mode and I didn't see any problems with any of them.
Your case is unique in that you have only one user account on the machine and so by default that account has all the privileges of an Administrator.
also, you don't need to uninstall anything; Version 10 and version 12 can work from your one machine. they are installed on separate folders so don't worry about having old version on your machine.
Just go ahead and install version 12. You can download a trial version of PSE12 and it has all the features and functions of the boxed version that you can buy from Amazon or some big name stores. After installing the trial version, you can use it for 30 days and by that time you will have made up your mind whether 12 is better for your need. If you like it, all you need to do is to buy the boxed version and use the serial number to activate what is already on your machine. You don't need to re-install it using the DVDs in the box.
Hope this helps.

So, I'm about to loose all of my iTunes library, work documents (I'm a lawyer!!), my kid's photos.... How can I restore my files?? Help!!

Since you seem to be using a new disk for Lion, Time Machine will consider previous backups to be for a "different" computer. Try doing a control-click or click-and-hold on the Time Machine icon in the Dock, then choose "Browse Other Time Machine Disks". This should allow Time Machine to see the previous backups.
In the worst case you should be able to open those Time Machine backups and copy your documents from there to your home folder.

How can I install after a hard drive failure with only upgrade disk?

I've been using Photoshop since 1998 but my HDD recently suffered a complete failure and I've had to change the drive. Unfortunately, I don't have my original Photoshop disk, only a CS2 and CS5 upgrade disk (with both serial numbers). Is there any way round this problem? Many thanks in advance for any replies.

Welcome to the forum.
My upgrade path started with Ps version 2.5. That was the last full version, that I had. All the rest were upgrades from there, though to CS 2.
When I went to install CS 2, I was asked for the CS version. I had both the upgrade disc and the S/N (my S/N's went through a couple of iterations, over the decades). In my case, the CS version disc was inserted, found and the installation went smoothly.
Now, while I have CS 5 (and 5.5 and 6), I never installed CS 5, it was just part of the upgrade path, to get me to CS 6 at the end. With my CS 5 S/N, CS 6 installed fine.
That was what worked for me, and I hope will work for you too. Keep that CS 2 disc handy, as you might need to insert that into the multi-drive, at a point in the CS 5 installation.
The one worry that I would have, with an HDD failure, would be Activation, as you probably did not Deactivate Ps, before that failure. For that, should you be up against your allowed Activations, you will likely want to call Adobe Customer Support, and explain your problem. They should be able to reset the Activations, and help you.
Good luck,

Can I Install Windows 7 On 27" Imacs (36 of Them) With The Upgrade Disk?

So basically, we have a 36 station iMac 27" lab, with 1 Mac Pro and 15 2.8 duo and 2.53 i5 MBP's.
We purchased the Windows 7 upgrade disk(by we I mean the "lead" tech guy)which normally shouldn't be a problem.
However as many of you know, the GPU drivers don't quite work out with 7, so you need to follow the workaround provided by Apple. Apple needs you to have the regular install disk that is recognized by Bootcamp.
All we can do is set it to start from disk after XP is installed.
So can we do anything? Is Apple going to update bootcamp so that we can just flat out install it? In the meantime, is there a workaround, can we trick bootcamp into reading an upgrade disk.
Thanks for the help.

i dunno about upgrade disc. but i upgraded from windows vista to windows 7 ultimate (32bit and 64bit with clean install) with a full installation disc with upgrade option selected. there is 1 issue i faced when installing, fooling me that its a failed attempt at first. maybe this is the problem most of us is having. i have boot camp 3.0 installed in fact.. boot camp 3.1 is not for me. i don need that. this is the problem while installing, the screen will just go blank after the windows 7 finishes install... but the main thing is i can still press the caps lock on and off. 1st i thought it is a failed attempt. to resolve this, enter ur username (actually windows is asking for ur username), and press enter... now hard restart the imac (press and hold the power button). right when the white screen disappear, press f8 button for optional boot selection. choose "safe mode", and wait. if a screen appear saying that the installation cannot continue with safe mode. restart the imac until u reached the blank screen again where u have to insert ur username. i did this actually, i did a lot of clicking and enter, and entering my username. and restart the thing again, press f8 to safe mode. until i go into safe mode successfully. when i am in safe mode, i go to device manager and deleted the graphic card (mine radeon hd4850), in fact that is the windows driver for hd4850 and restart the imac. this time i am 100% sure i can login to windows 7. when in windows 7, just update the device driver from imac 27" DVD from boot camp, and restart. u have to update the sound and bluetooth driver too in order to have proper sound card and magic mouse operation.
maybe i am a bit off, but hope this helps. cheers.

I need to install photoshop cs4 extended from a disk to a new computer because my old computer had a hard drive crash. There is no serial number on the back of the case. How can I obtain a usable serial number?

I have to install Photoshop CS4 extended on a new computer from a disk because my old computer had a hard drive crash. There is no serial number on the back of the case. How can I obtain a usable serial number?

Find your serial number quickly
You can activate software without following up and registering it... at least that was the case in the past. The serial number is normally located on the disc case or a box inside the main box. If you did not purchase the disc from Adobe then it is possible you would have dealt with a redemption code, in which case it would have been up to you to keep a record of the serial number, especially if you did not follow up and register the software.

Upgrading to Leopard; Installing Photoshop 5.5 and Upgrading to CS2

Hello,
I currently have Panther running on my MAC and I want to upgrade it to Leopard. I originally had Adobe Photoshop 5.5 and had upgraded to Photoshop CS, then to Photoshop CS2 on my MAC running Panther. If I upgrade my MAC to Leopard, do I go through the same process? ...install Photoshop 5.5 then install my Photoshop CS2 Upgrade?
I know that I will need to deactivate/transfer activation before uninstalling Photoshop CS2 and activate after the Leopard Upgrade.
Any assistance/tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Installing Photoshop CS, then CS2 upgrade on Windows 7

I have a new computer with Windows 7 pre-installed and activated. What is the correct proceedure to install Photoshop CS (full version), then the CS2 upgrade? I would like to then upgrade to CS4 to take advantage of the Windows 64-bit capabilities. Is this the right pathway, or do I need to purchase a new full version of CS4?
Thank you for your help.

I think it is possible to upgrade from CS2 to CS4, yes. However there is no need to install CS or even CS2 before CS4 i don't think. You can just install them as long as you can proove you have the old one through the old serial number or somthing to that effect. Also, be awear that CS and CS2 are not supported by Adobe on Windows 7 as they have not been tested and may have problems running correctly. CS3 and CS4 are supported though. I personally wouldn't worry much about having issues with CS and CS2 though as as far as i know, no one seems to have many problems, and i also know that Photoshop 7 works just fine on Windows 7 too.

How do i install photoshop elements 11 without a disk drive

I own photoshop elements 11 and have the disk but my new laptop doesn't have a disk drive. I found the software here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-10-11-downloads.html. I downloaded the content but it wont install. The application says I need to download the rest of the content to install. The thing is I have downloaded the rest of the content. I am not sure what to do. The first large file comes in a 7z file format. I have extracted the files to see if thats what I needed to do and it still didn't work. I do need some help with this. The operating system is windows 8.1, 6 GB of ram, AMD quad core processor.

You don't need to touch the .7z file at all.
Download the .7z and the .exe file to the same folder on your hard drive
Double click the .exe file and follow the prompts

Can I install Snow Leopard with an external disk drive?

I have been trying to update my software to Snow Leopard but I am using an external disk drive and when I try to install the software I get the message "The application 'Install Mac OS X' cannot be used from this volume". Is there any way to fix this problem?

Are you booting your computer from an external drive? If so please say why? How are you trying to upgrade to Snow Leopard? Do you have the 10.6.3 retail Snow Leopard DVD? On what drive are you trying to install Snow Leopard? Are you doing this?
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Install Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with installing OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Then use Software Update to download and install any other needed updates for Snow Leopard.

Yes, your fonts are locked. This is a known issue with different older versions of Adobe products if they are mixed. You need to take ownership and set their permissions to full access. There is some article on it in the knowledge base, but you might just as well do a web search on a more generic level about such procedures. An abbreviated summary of how to is contained in this article on my page (Security section).
