Installing Photoshop in Apple Laptop Air

How do I install Photoshop purchased on a CD into my new Laptop Air that has no CD port?

I am using PS CS 5 that I purchased as a disc set. I have the serial number that allows me to install it on more than one of my computers. The problem is that I have recently purchase an Apple laptop that has no CD port so I am unable to load it onto that computer. Is it possible to download a copy of the CS 5 software from Adobe so that I can use it on my laptop?
Thanks, Dhall

Installing Photoshop CS5 requires Adobe AIR to be installed

Hey Guys (I'm new so sorry if I do anything wrong here),
I just installed Windows 8, and while it was very confusing I accidently deleted all of my programmes (I got confused with what the Reset Tab was) and when I went to go and install Photoshop Trial, it's telling me I need to update Adobe AIR because It's not available to my system.
I've installed it before, the only change was from Windows 7 to Windows 8, and I've seen other people with Windows 8 use Photoshop CS5? Please Help!?

No No, Sorry aha I installed Windows 8, which was fine. I didnt like it much so I tried doing a system restore assuming I could just go back to Windows 7 (What my friend told me). I found out eventually I couldnt obviously, but before I found out I figured the "Reset Your PC" option would be like a system restore and would go back to Windows 7. All my Programmes got deleted, which I was fine about so I just went to go install them again but Photoshop is telling me I cant install it due to not having the system requirements. But the only requirement I believe I dont have is Windows 7, but like I said before... I've seen others with Windows 8 having Photoshop..
A system Image Backup, nope.. I dont. My friend told me that it was just a trial and I would go back to Windows 7 once the trial is up. (I should do my own research in future)
I hope this was clear enough, again it's pretty late and I'm just stressed over loosing everything. Thank you for getting back to me so soon also - Any other tips on how to maybe get it? I dont think I have any traces of Adobe left since all my programmes got deleted, the only other thing I have is Adobe Flash.

How do you install photoshop onto another laptop?

I have a dead laptop, I need to install photoshop ontp my new one.

You can just download the version you have licensed from Adobe and install it.
You'll need to activate it with your serial number if you have a perpetual license, or just log in with your Adobe ID if you have a Creative Cloud subscription.
Both your serial number and the download link are available from Adobe.com if you registered your product.

Unable to install Photoshop CS2 on MacBook Air [was: Literally in tears tonight... feel absolutely sick.]

I've been a Photoshop user (yes, I paid full price for legit copies with serial numbers!) for nearly 15 years. Self-taught. Learned SO much and can practically do everything with my eyes closed. Well, today, I got shocking news when I discovered I cannot use my CS2 with my new MacBook Air. Mavericks OS doesn't support PPC things. Whatever that means. This is so awful and stressful for me. I never bothered to upgrade over the years because everything worked flawlessly... so why bother? But now I'm stuck. Even though I have a fully-paid for set of discs, they're worthless. I have been on this forum and online LITERALLY FOR SEVEN HOURS today trying to resolve this and I cannot for the life of me get any of the downloads or patches to work. Just venting. I'm sad. Just sitting here sobbing... and cursing... that there is no REAL PERSON I could talk to about this on the phone. This is way over my head and I'm so exhausted and emotionally drained and now I feel like this new laptop is worthless... until I apparently spend several hundred or thousand more dollars for a new PS?????? Ugh. WORST DAY EVER and ALL I wanted was to happily load my CS2 onto my new laptop and be on my way. It's just awful, like everyone says, how HORRID and NON-EXISTENT Adobe customer support is. I hate how they just send you to the forum (even though I'm sure all of you are awfully nice). Thanks for listening. Just wanted to air my sadness in case someone out there can help me with a solution.
Thanks.
Stacy

Your discs are no longer of any use, but you can download a special version that can be installed and activated. Whether or not it can work on your new machine is something else to wonder about. It is very old software.
The only option to install CS2 lies in the following linked web page. If you have already tried this and were unsuccessful then you might need to explain more about what occured when you tried.

Can I install photoshop on my laptop and desktop from the same Creative Cloud account?

I thought I read that you can run them one at a time, I installed on lap top first and registered just fine then installed on desktop and on start up of photoshop CC it is telling me to register photoshop? can I do this?

You can have a maximum of two installs. Can be PC/PC, Mac/PC or Mac/Mac; any combo.
Should be no need to register as long as you've signed in with your Adobe ID? (Best way to do all this is via the Creative Cloud Desktop app.)

Want to install Photoshop onto new laptop (second machine)...

The new laptop doesn't have a disc drive. I'm a student, and my copy of PS CS6 is on an actual disc. Is there still a way to get to a download of it, since I'm not on the cloud?

Problem installing Photoshop on Macbook Air OS10.7.1

How do I install Photoshop on my Macbook Air? It fails every time it asks for the second disc.
I am using a superdrive.
Can I use my serial number to download it from the web site? I can't find any way to do this.

Hi,
You can download the trial version of master collection from the Adobe website and use the serial number to convert it to a full version.
Have you purchased the download version or did you receive installation discs?
You mention that you are using a superdrive. Are you trying to install the application on your local hard drive or a different machine using superdrive connectivity?

Is it possible to install Photoshop to a new (mac) computer? And how?

I have a new (mac) computer and I have installed photoshop on my laptop. I would like to transfer this to my computer. Is this possible?

Simply install it like on your laptop. If you have specific issues, you need to explain better and at least provide some proper technical info liek system specs.

Installing Photoshop on another computer will it cost me extra

My laptop broke that had the Photoshop that i pay for on it, so i got a new laptop and wanted to install Photoshop on this laptop as I cant get on to the other laptop at all. Will it charge me twice for having photoshop on 2 laptops?

Your license allows you to have activated installations on two machines. So there is no problem with you installing and activating on a second machine. That limit however is not a fixed limit, meaning that you can deactivate and reactivate as needed should you get new machines over time or for whatever other reason you might need to activate multiple times.
What you should do before you install is contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations so that you still have two available to you. Then you can use one of them for the new machine and still have the extra. If you ask after you install and activate then you would have to do it again if they reset it after.
For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

Installing Photoshop on more than one machine

How can I install Photoshop on my laptop as well as on my desktop?

Yes, you're allowed two installations.

I have just installed Photoshop Elements for a MAC. MY photos were in iPhoto, I have 47,000 pictures and my drive on my Mac laptop is not large enough. I store my photos in iPhoto on an external drive. Can I store all my photos on an external drive when using Photoshop Elements? If so, in what format should they be stored in? I do I move them from iPhoto to the new storage location? How do I call them up in organizer? And how do I call them up to Edit? I do not want to store any pictures on my Apple Mac laptop. I want to store pictures on several external devices.

Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

When ever i try to install photoshop cc on my laptop i keep getting this error "We've encountered the following issues installer failed to initialize. Please download adobe support advisor to detect the problem."

when ever i try to install photoshop cc on my laptop i keep getting this error "We've encountered the following issues installer failed to initialize. Please download adobe support advisor to detect the problem."

start at the top and work your way down applying applicable fixes until your problem is resolved.
if cc (win): https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-application-failed.html
if, your error is:
"Installer failed to initialize. File not found." or "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to missing files."
first, rename OOBE Folder to OOBE.old.
to find OOBE:
64 bit win OS: Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
32 bit win OS: Program Files \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
mac os: HD>library>application support>adobe>caps
mac os: USER>library>application support>adobe>OOB
if that fails or isn't the exact error you see, uninstall, clean (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and reinstall.
if you're using a dvd to install:
copy the disc contents to a desktop directory and install from that directory.
if you're using a mac:
1. Try to Create a new user account in Mac with Administrator Priviledges.
2. Login to the New user, Navigate to Mac HD> Application> Utilities> Adobe Installer folder, Locate products like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Air and un-install them
3. Navigate to User Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
4. Navigate to Mac HD> Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
5. Start the installation again.
if everything applicable above fails, check your installation logs:
