OSX 10.4.6 / Adobe CS2 Install conflict?

I'm trying to install Adobe CS2 Premium. I've installed from this disk set on a number of G5's in our office successfully in the past. However, this was prior to OSX 10.4.6
I've attempted this install on 3 computers in my office. All PowerMac G5's running 10.4.6.
This CS2 installer runs fine without any errors. All of the programs startup fine with the exception of Illustrator. On closer inspection the Illustrator CS2 folder is missing a bunch of files. Only the first 3 files/folders are there.
- Activation_ReadMe.htm
- Adobe Illustrator CS2
- Cool Extras
These are all missing:
- Demonstrator
- Fonts
- Illustrator Read Me.pdf
- install.log
- Legal
- Plug-ins
- Presets
- Scripting
- Utilities
When I called support we went through the process of installing it in safe mode, throwing away all the font lists. In the end we were never able to get it to install properly.
Then he recommended that I try to make disk images of the install disks and try to install from there. Now when I get to Install Disk #3 I get an I/O error and the disk image cannot be completed.
The tech then recommended that I get a new disk set. I've done that and the same thing is happening w/ the new disk set. On two of the computers I was able to copy the missing folders from one of the machines that have been properly installed and this has worked fine.
I would like to know if this is a known issue w/ OSX 10.4.6?

Hi King of Pop!
I have installed the CS suite at least 20 times on 10.4.6 and it runs the applications fine. The only issue I had was with IDCS2 and the SING gaiji system and that was a permissions thing to a system resource - not the same thing you have.
I would take the Ilustrator CS2 app and trash it, reinstall it from the CD's. Be sure to empty the trash.

Adobe CS2 Install problem

Hey, i've recently bought my first Mac, a white 2.0 Macbook. So far i'm loving it! but i can't install correctly Adobe CS2. After the install is finished (apparently OK) when I open Photoshop it tells me that there are some missing files and that i have to reinstall. I did it a couple of times but i can't make it work. Can somebody help me with this please??

I've created the "ScriptingAdditions" folder and nothing. I've found (on the web) the "Adobe Unit Types" file and copied it into that folder and nothing happend.
Do anyone knows what's going on?? Thanks

Adobe CS2 Install... STRANGE

Ok,
FYI, I installed Leopard on a separate disk and went to install CS2 (we don't own CS3 yet and I enjoy living dangerously)
So.. I go to install and the Adobe CS2 installer says that the only thing it will install is: Version Cue, and tells me the other apps are installed. This isn't so...
So finally I get the great idea, to eject my internal 10.4 hard drive, and see if the software will install. It does,
So if you try to install CS2 on a system that has more than one hard drive, and one of the other hard drives has CS2 on it, the system will think the software is installed.

Where are adobe fonts installed in Mac OSX?

Hi,
I need the same Adobe fonts in Photoshop CS6 and InDesign CS6.
Where are they installed in OSX?
Do my Adobe programs install fonts in a different folder than other programs do?

BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,

Adobe CS2 uninstall (as administrator, no antivirus) fails on Windows with "Missing or Invalid Personalization Information", "Missing resources library"

My previously fully functional Adobe CS2 install on Windows 7 x64 stopped working when the activation service for CS2 was shut down.
I tried to follow the re-installation instructions at the following web page which first require a complete uninstall of Adobe CS2:

Running as a local administrator in elevated mode and without a running antivirus (in fact, with an uninstalled antivirus), I get the following error message and the uninstaller refuses to run:
The installer could not start because of the following reasons:

I opened a chat support case (case number: 0214720731) responded to by @Arunkumar who sent me back to the forums. When I said similar queries had not been resolved for months, he promised to escalate to his "senior product expert" team to post a solution. I am posting this message in the hope they will respond with useful suggestions as I do not want to do a complete Windows re-install of an otherwise perfectly functional computer just because the Adobe uninstaller doesn't work.

You have insufficient privileges to access the registry or your virus scanner is blocking it. Nothing Adobe can fix for you, you need to find the culprit on your system and/ or fix the registry permissions as explained here:

Hello, I use MAC AIR OSX 10.6.8 and have Adobe CS2, that I was using 2 years ago on my older computer. I stopped using it because it would close down in the middle of work. Now I would like to reinstall it on the MacAir but I can not get it working. It tells Adobe doesnT support my System. But I can not update my old version or activate it. What can I do?

The mac you want to install photoshop cs2 on is running mac os x 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?
(photoshop cs2 won't run on intel macs with mac os x newer than snow leopard)
Did you ever have cs2 installed on this particular computer before?
If the problem is that you already installed cs2, but it won't activate, that's because adobe took the activation servers offline for some older adobe products such as cs2.
You'll need to use the non activation version of cs2 from here and the supplied serial number:
Activation server shut down for Creative Suite 2, Acrobat 7, and Macromedia products

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.

Fireworks 8 crashes after installing Adobe CS2 Suite

I have been running Fireworks with no problems till I
installed the Adobe CS2 suite. Now I get the splash screen up
everytime even though I click the little box bottom left to disable
and everytime I start to key in text it crashes. I'm on a G5 (pre
intel) OSX 10.4.8
Any ideas as I use fireworks a lot and I don't want to
uninstall CS2 and go back to CS1

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

Adobe Photoshop CS2 Install

I am attempting to install Adobe Photoshop CS2, I know it is an old version, but I am unable to upgrade at this time. However, I have the full version of Adobe Photoshop CS2, and when I run the install it states that it is looking for a previous version of Photoshop. I have verified that this is not an upgrade only cd. Please advise.

Thanks for trying to help out guys but after hours of toying with this thing it finally hit me like a brick wall. I found a work around.
For anyone that may run into this issue in the future:
When you run the Adobe Photoshop CS2 install and it will not let you install due to looking for previous versions
Install Adoby Photoshop CS2 as the 30 day trial, which will install without any issues.
After the installation is completed then ender the serial number manually after that.
Not sure why it has to be a PITA about it, but it works.

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.

I have Adobe 5.0, original disk, 6.0 upgrade, original disk, and Adobe CS2. I'd like to install in my new computer with Win.8.1. Can you help?

I have Adobe 5.0, original disk, 6.0 upgrade, original disk, and Adobe CS2. I'd like to install in my new computer with Win.8.1. Can you help?

Forget about all the versions you already have (5.0 through to CS2). They will no longer work and the serial numbers are redundant.
Download the non-activation version of CS2 form the link provided by kglad and use the new non-activation serial number provided at that link. Your existing serial number(s) will no longer work.
Note: there is no guarantee that CS2 will run well on Win 8.1. Try it and see.

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.

Hi,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, 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 at top of the screen. (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 First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open CS2.
