  • Unable to install Adobe CS2 Premium on Windows OS 7. How do I fix this ?

    I am unable to install Adobe CS2 Premium on Windows OS 7. My discs require activation but do install to the OS. The non-activation version recommended gives the error message that" this version is not compatible wih OS" and will not install.
    Thanks, Liz

    Hi Issieoo,
    Though you may install Cs2 on Windows but you may face performace issue. Please find the System Requirement for installing for one of the CS2 product: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-photoshop.html . However I would recommend you to purchase the new CC realease with more enhanced functionalities and features.

  • Leopard won't install on my G5 Dual 2Ghz

    I made a clone of my hard drive onto an external Firewire drive and tried to install Leopard on there to test compatibility. It gave up after 15 minutes...
    "Install failed. The MacOS could not be installed on your computer. The installer could not verify the contents of the 'Essentials' package. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    I tried this a few times with he same results and then tried a clean install on an internal drive. This time it was Mail.app that could not be verified when it gave up.
    I made a disk image of the installer on an external hard drive and tried to install from that. Same error.
    Leopard installed on my Mac Mini without a problem.
    There's something seriously wrong here.

    I can also confirm: *Leopard won't install on my G5 dual 2 Ghz EITHER.*
    I get as far as "Select the Drive you want to install Leopard on" and only my second drive bay HD appears. My primary startup HD with the OS on it does NOT appear in the window as a selection.
    In addition it took 4 tries just to finally get the procedure to recognize and display my Startup HD to select for rebooting the computer when trying to QUIT the install process. Apple, you got a problem. Stock machine here. NEVER any problems doing OS upgrades since Oct. 03....until this moment. No peripherals attached. Standard hardware config. What's Up?

    What is your operating system?  Is there anything else beside the number 1406?

  • I'm installing Adobe CS2 as a download.  After the first 'disk' is installed, the Installer asks for 'CD 2' to be loaded.  How do I get around this?  No CD; only 'disk' files downloaded.

    I need advise on installing Adobe CS2 as a download.  The Installer is looking for CD 2 but I don't have a CD.  It's a file downloaded and saved to Programs on my hard drive.  Adobe CS2 is no longer supported by Adobe Support.  Someone out there must have run across this problem before.  Help, please.

    all the extracted files should be placed in the same directory.  by default they fail to extract in the same directory so you will need to manually move them.

  • Leopard won't install on PowerMac g4 AGP graphics

    Leopard won't install on PowerMac g4 AGP graphics (2) which was pimped to 1.5 ghz with Sony dual power drive with 100 GB internal HD currently happy running on OS X 10.4.10 Tiger, the rest of the G5s (6) was upgraded bautifully. Again anybody out there with slick idea on how to deal with this leftover G4. The Leopard disk simply say " OS X 10.5 can not be installed on this computer" end of story if we insist on trying other ways the machine simply blank-out ( you know the dreaded question mark and the happy face folder). Our IT Guy is ready to chop-shop these machine and has painted himself in a corner on this matter, so I sent out this S.O.S.…I guest the world can help…anybody please.

    If you have a corp IT department can't you convince them to refresh your machine more than once every 8 years? Most corporate machines are refreshed every 3 years... 8 is 2 2/3 times normal life. Maybe suggest a nice shiny new 24" iMac

  • Leopard won't install on my iMac

    So I erased my hard-drive to re-install my copy of leopard that came with my computer but it won't install- it keeps stopping about halfway and saying it can't be installed on my Mac. Any ideas?
    My computer was working fine until it froze trying to update Adobe reader and when I forced it to restart it got stuck on the grey apple screen. I tried restarting from safe boot and it didn't work- it would only boot from the cd. I tried repairing the disk and permissions but it kept giving me different errors so I just went ahead and erased everything, which brings me back to not being able to reinstall the os.

    Was it repairing disk or permissions that kept giving different errors?
    I think this was available in 10.5 installs, but can't check... hit CMD+L before starting the Install or right after, that should show a log of what exactly is going on.
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
       3. Click the Erase tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion hopefully you'll be able to install.

  • Problems Installing Adobe CS2 software

    Hi,
    I purchased my iMac aswell as Adobe CS2 software back in September. I started installing the CS2 software (4 discs) and by the last disc, installation froze and the drive sounded like it was in a continuous search on the disc. So I had to reboot and eject the disc. This continued for 2 more tries. I contacted Adobe and they said it was a disc problem, so I exchanged my CS2 for another CS2 disc set. I completely erased the previous CS2 applications, reinstalled OSX and tried again. This time it was the 2nd of 4 discs that just got skipped over - nothing even installed from that disc - the computer just spat it out and said: "disc 2 complete, please insert disc 3..."
    Anyone think I have drive or hardware issues???

    Hi Bushfire.
    I had a very similar problem when I installed CS 1 under OS X 10.3 on an iBook. In that case it turned out that the version of Stuffit Expander supplied with the OS was too old. (The stuffit engine is, I believe used to unpack some or all of the goodies from the installer). After upgrading Stuffit Expander to - I think to version 7 at the time - the install went perfectly.
    OS X 10.4 doesn't have any version of stuffit expander included with it at all. Have a look on versiontracker.com to download if you haven't allready got it. Could be worth a try.
    I have subsequently installed CS 2 on my iMac G5, and everything went OK -so it CAN work.
    Good luck - and let me know if it works.

  • Snow Leopard Won't Install

    I get maybe 15 minutes into the install, and my MacBook restarts; Snow Leopard is not installed. I didn't notice any error message before this happened.
    This happened 3 times.

    Greetings,
    It takes around 45 minutes for the install to complete. After the first 15 minutes, or so, it will reboot, and then continue the installation. Hopefully you didn't interrupt it at a critical moment.
    If you did and it won't boot at all, you may have to insert the DVD in the drive, start it up, and hold the "C" key down until you see the Apple, and little spinning graphic.
    After it boots in to the DVD, then install.
    Cheers,
    M.

  • Mac Pro, won't install Adobe Reader 11.04 any help out there

    After downloading on my Mac Pro, Adobe 11.04 I can't open it.  And my Mac isn't indicating the problem? Anybody got ideas?

    I am having the same problem with my HPT 4321.  After upgrade, wont boot.  Shows up everyone as bootable disk (even when holding option at startup) but Mac will not boot off it.  I installed a fresh 10.6.8 copy onto a usb drive and HPT drivers work so might just be something to do with the main drive being bootable.  To complicate things, the Snow Leopard DVD doesn't have the drivers to see the array so cannot use it for troubleshooting.  It will not start in safe mode. Downloaded combo updater to try and re-update but it doesn't let you install it on another drive.  HPT driver installer doesn't allow you to install on another drive so also can't re-install driver.  Only choice seems to be install OS on new disk and recreate everything from scratch, then SuperDuper back to HPT drives and hope that it was a corruption during the update but not sure that it will boot even after all that work. 
    Anyone have a working computer with 10.6.8 and booting off a Highpoint RAID card?

  • Fireworks 8 crashes after installing Adobe CS2 Suite

    I'm having the same problem - I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, running the cleaner, still no joy

  • Leopard won't install on MacBookPro

    I purchased the Leopard family pack, and installed Leopard without incident on an Intel iMac. However, on my MacBookPro, the installer cannot seem to find a valid disk to install Leopard on. The screen remains blank, and cannot continue. Strange, because no problems were discovered with the disk in Tiger (Disk Utility, Disk Warrior both).
    There is 33 gigs of free space, should be plenty.
    any thoughts as to cause/solution? I am puzzled.
    Thanks!

    Did you upgrade your Hard Drive at some point? I discovered upon trying to upgrade my Intel Mac Mini to leopard that I had been using a HD with an Apple Partition Map, which was default on a HD upgrade I had installed. It worked fine with Tiger, but Leopard would not install. Leopard requires the GUID Partition Table on the hard drive. You can check it with disk utility.
    If that is the case, my solution was to clone my drive to an external HD, reformat my internal drive with GUID, then clone back and install leopard. (if you do the straight upgrade, be careful to remove all APE application enhancers from you Tiger system 1st. I didn't & got the blue screen)

  • Wiped my entire macbook drive and now snow leopard won't install over snow leopard server, HELP!

    I ordered, what I thought, was Snow Leopard a while ago because I was running Leopard and I wanted to get the app store so I could move onto Lion and then Mountain Lion. I ordered the disc over the phone and the woman sent me the Snow Leopard Server instead of just Snow Leopard, I didn't think much about it so I clean installed it and ran it on my unibody macbook for a while. I didn't see much use for the disc anymore seeing that everything was downloadable at this point, so I sold the disc on Ebay and carried on. The server edition started to slow my computer down due to all of its excess applications and what not, and I read online that Lion and Mountain Lion are also very slow on the old unibody Macbooks so I ordered a regular Snow Leopard disc, now available online, and tried to install it. My computer said Snow Leopard cannot be installed over Snow Leopard server so I went to disc utitlity and wiped my entire drive while the OS X Snow Leopard disc was running and trying to install. I went back to the install window and it still said OS X Snow leopard cannot be installed over Snow Leopard Server so I shut down my computer and tried to turn it back on and I all I got was a blinking folder with a question mark in it, what do I do????????
    P.S. All of my content is backed up on an external harddrive so I am all good with that.

    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X 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.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. After formatting has finished quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the Snow Leopard installation.

  • Leopard won't install on 1.07 Ghz machine

    Hello all.
    I get a message saying that Leopard cannot be installed on this machine when I attempt to do so on my 1.07 Ghz 1.25 GB RAM iBook.
    I was sure that it qualified for the upgrade.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated
    Thanks,
