My CS3 installation failed on my new iMac with Mavericks. Why?

Anybody have an answer for why the CS3 installation failed on my new iMac with Mavericks? I bought CS3 for my old MacPro which recently died. I still have the installation CD, with serial number and PN number. Help!

    How can I use Aperture 3 on my new iMac with Maverick?

    Do you own a copy of Aperture, perhaps bought for another Mac?
    If you have not bought Aperture, you need to buy it from the AppStore.
    But if you own Aperture and have it bought from the AppStore on another Mac, sign into theAppStore on your new iMac with the same AppleID you used to buy Aperure on your other Mac.  Then look at the "Purchased" tab of he AppStore. It show Aperture, with the "Install" button to the right. Simply press the "Install" button and download it to your new iMac.  Or if you have bought Aperture on a CD/DVD, run the installer from the CD/DVD on your new mac and immediately run software update to upgrade the Aperture 3. version to version that will run with Mavericks.

  • I reinstalled tiger on one iMac, but want to re-upgragde it to Lion.  I don't have the discs anymore, but I installed Lion from the Mac App Store.  Now that I'm back to 10.4, I don't have the App Store.  I have a new iMac with Mavericks, but it won't let

    I have a 2006 iMac that I've upgraded to each new os as they came out.  I just wiped it (for the kids to use, I have a new iMac with Mavericks) and reintalled Tiger from the original discs.  I want to get it back to Lion - which I purchased from the Mac App Store.  But Tiger doesn't have the App Store and I don't have the discs anymore from the intermediate versions.  I tried downloading Lion from the new iMac but it's not available...
    Any ideas?

    To get to the App Store, you need to upgrade the Tiger machine to Snow Leopard.

  • HT3805 How do I restore Vault created under Snow leopard to new IMac with Maverick 10.9.2

    Purchased a new IMac with OS 10.9.2
    trying to restore an Aperture Vault (created by snow leopard) I get error message that Vault could not be restored because it was created by older OS.
    Is there a fix for this or do I kiss my 4k pics goodbye - I hope this isn't the case.

    Purchased a new IMac with OS 10.9.2
    trying to restore an Aperture Vault (created by snow leopard) I get error message that Vault could not be restored because it was created by older OS.
    What exactly is the error message? The operating system version should not matter, when restoring from a vault. What however will matter, are the version of Aperture and the file system of the disk with the vault.  Is your vault on an external drive? If yes, how is the drive formatted?  If the vault is not on a drive formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled), move it to a disk with the correct formatting and try again.
    And what version of Aperture created your vault? With SnowLeopard you probably used an older Aperture version. Then your vault needs to be upgraded to a newer Aperture version, before you can restore from it. Do you still have a version of Aperture installed, that is the same version as your vault? Was it an Aperture 3 version?
    If your vault is an Aperture 3 vault, try to open it as an Aperture library instead of restoring it.
    - a quick and dirty emergency measure: Try to open your vault directly on the drive where it is now without restoring it. Make a backup copy of your vault, before you try it.
    Change the filename extension of your vault to ".aplibrary", this will turn the vault into an Aperture library and try to open it directly in Aperture by double clicking it.
    Aperture will now try to open the vault as the current Aperture library and upgrade it.
    “Aperture Vault” was created by an older version of Aperture, and cannot be restored by this version.

  • Jam Pack: Symphony Orchestra not working on new iMac with Maverick

    Hi,
    i received my new iMac 27 inch Haswell with Maverick installed.
    I migrated most of the stuff i need but it seems the Symphony Orchestra Jam Pack instruments weren't migrated to Garageband.
    Now i read somehwere that this JamPack doesn't work on Maverick.
    Is there a way to download the Jam Pack again? I can't find them anywhere. Why doesn't Apple sell these in the store?
    I can't try to install the JamPack again since i don't have a CD Rom drive in my iMac...
    How can i restore these instruments on my Garageband?? I need them.
    Thanx

    MainStage is for setting up a live performance and performing music.  It has many instruments and effects. GarageBand is for mixing song arrangements and creating finished songs.
    I have never really used MainStage, just for playing my guitar. I bought it to get current installers for the JamPacks.
    After you install MainStage, you need to open and run it at least once, to download the full set of instruments and loops.

  • Why am I getting distortion from my audio interface while using Logic 9 on my new iMac with Maverick?

    I have been recording using a line 6 UX2 interface and also, a Focusrite iTrack Solo interface, successfully with Logic 9 on my 2007 MBP for a few years now.  I recently bought a new iMac and migrated my time machinre back up to the iMac.  Since then I have had to maunually replace missing sound and room evironment files, and now I cannot get a clean mic recording using either interface or either of my two mics.
    Any suggestions?

    I assume you have an iMac with a fusion drive? If so, contact Apple. Audio dropouts on these machines even occur in iTunes.

  • Can I mirror my ipad mini to my new imac with Yosemite (or Mavericks?)

    Hello!
    I would like to mirror what is on my ipad mini to my new imac with Mavericks 10.9.5 or Yosemite. (In about this Mac, it says 10.9.5, so I guess my question would apply to either Mavericks or Yosemite, since I can update if needed.)
    I have seen old posts about this, saying that you must use additional 3rd party software.
    Is this still the case, or have things changed with new macs and Mavericks 10.9.5 or Yosemite?
    Is there a way to use Apple TV to do this? or Is Apple TV only for HDTVs?
    Thanks!

    Thank you, Demo! I had no idea that was possible. Looks like that would be the answer, except.....
    I did some additional research just now, and it looks like it was a blessing to me that my new imac didn't come with Yosemite, like advertised, because forums say my Adobe CS3 won't work with Yosemite.
    Looks like it would be cheaper for me to get a 3rd party app to do the mirroring, rather than paying monthly for Adobe cc.
    Unless someone else knows of another solution that would work with Mavericks instead?
    Thanks again!!!

  • Is it posiible to install FCS 3 on a brand new iMac (with topped specs)? It will come with Mavericks and that might be an issue....

    I'm wondering if it is even possible to install the FCS 3 on brand new out-of-the-box Mavericks OS.... I need FCP 7 for my work. I allready installed FInal Cut Studio 3 on my Mavericks MacBook Air, but that OS was an updated one, from the previos version. It works greate (rendering is a nightmare though :-)).
    The thing is that i have read meny post about People unable to Install Finac Cut Studio 3 on a brand new - not updated - Mavericks....
    Will i I be able to install Final Cut Studio 3 on a brand new iMac with Mavericks out-of-the-box?

    Yes,
    I have friends who have FCS 2009 (aka FCS 3) running on 10.9 machines from fresh installs.
    Be aware that if you use a third party output device (Kona, Decklink, MXO, etc) you must have the updated drivers as well.
    One friend had such issues with his Blackmagic Intensity card in a MacPro that he went back to an earlier OSX to find stability.

  • I installed CS3 from backup to a new iMac when my old iMac failed.  How do I activate CS3 suite?

    I installed CS3 from backup to a new iMac when my old iMac failed.  How do I activate CS3 suite?
    When I try starting Photoshop, for example, it tells me uninstall then reinstall the product OR contact product support.
    However, when I phone product support, it says there is no product support for CS3 and to go to the Forums.
    Thank you.

  • I'm trying to boot my new iMac running Mavericks from an external hard drive with Snow leopard but it fails with a window telling me to power down manually. It works with my old iMac.

  • Error 150:30 on new iMac with Yosemite

    I upgraded from an 8-year old iMac to a new iMac with Yosemite. After migrating everything over, I can't run PSE because it said some files were missing. I re-installed the software using my original disk. Then I got a 150:30 Error. Help!

    You can never, never migrate an installed copy of PSE. It's just too complex and has bits scattered all over your hard drive. Unfortunately, one of the things that does migrate is the file that tells PSE it's not on the authorized drive anymore. To deal with this at this point you will need to download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    After which you can go around and manually remove all the bits of PSE that you can find, not only from Applications, but also from the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, and your username>library>preferences. Spotlight will not help you here; it's programmed to skip these kinds of files. If you need help finding those libraries, post back.

  • I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have bought a copy of Apple iLife 11 on dvd a so that I can install iWeb and idvd, when I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate

    I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have just bought Apple iLife 11 on dvd so that I can install iWeb and iDVD, as macs no longer ship with these apps. When I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate.
    Next problem is that when moving through the installer and get to custom install, as I only want to install iDVD and iWeb, I am presented with the option to install iDVD, Sounds & Jingles and iWeb, but not sure what is going on with the other 3 options iLife Support etc, they seem to be greyed out but still look like they may install over the top of the newer versions already on my imac. Is it ok for me to just go ahead and hit install? Or do I have a problem?

    Yep, just install iDVD (plus sounds and jingles) and iWeb if you want it (but note that iWeb apparently won't work if you upgrade to Mountain Lion).
    Then use Software Update to get any late iDVD updates.

  • I am using Photoshop CS5 on a new iMac with a wireless keyboard.  I used to be able to hit F11 to perform a custom sharpening action but now the F11 key is the volume control key and I have tried everything to disable or switch the volume key. I have also

    I am using Photoshop CS5 on a new iMac with a wireless keyboard.  I used to be able to hit F11 to perform a custom sharpening action but now the F11 key is the volume control key and I have tried everything to disable or switch the volume key. I have also tried assigning other function keys to initiate the action. Is there a simple solution to this? What am I missing?

    Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

  • How do I download/install Photoshop & Premiere Elements 10 on new iMac with no disc drive?

    My iMac hard drive recently failed and I lost everything. I just bought one of the new iMacs with no disc drive.  I had purchased Photoshop CS5 in 2011 but it came with CD's for install.  I stil have them but it doesn't do me any good since there is no disc drive to put them in on the new computer. How can I install Photoshop using my serial number from my original purchase?  I downloaded the CS6 trial version and when I try to activate it with my old serial number it says it is invalid.  

    There are links to trial installers on pages:

    Very carefully read and follow the instructions on the pages!
    Download and install the trials, launch and activate them with your serial number then do 'Help > Updates'.
