Password wont do anything on installer for CS5 (MAC)

When I try installing CS5 to my mac it wont do anything after I input my administrator password. I click the installer, put in my serial number, but once I get to the " Setup wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." It does nothing but dissapear and come back asking for my password again. I’m entering the correct password and I’m using the admin account. I tried doing an incorrect password and the setup box shakes (saying wrong password), but when I put my correct one in it just goes away and comes right back.
Tried doing a trail and the same thing happens.
I honestly cant think why its doing it.
I have been searching online and only found one post relating to the same subject matter.

""I’m getting this problem as well, I first noticed it when I tried to update Adobe Flash. The password is correct because if I type an incorrect password the box jiggles in the usual fashion to show its wrong, yet when I type in my correct password theres no movement, the box just disappears and I’m left with the original installer box asking if I want to install/cancel.""

Thanks in advance

Please try not only enabling the root user account but logging in as the root user. When you reboot you should have a, "Other," option. You will want to select this and type the user name as Root and then whatever password you specified. You can then try the installation again in the Root user account.

Silent Installation for CS5.5?

I've been able to get silent installation for the DPS tools to work fine for CS6 (v27), but I haven't found a successful method for CS5.5 (v27), aside from using JAMF's Composer to perform a file-system watch.
The commands I've tried:
sudo /Adobe/DPS/r27/cs5.5fp/Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Install --mode=Silent
Starting Installer...
In Silent mode.
Installation successful.
Exiting Installer with Code: 0
sudo /Adobe/DPS/r27/cs5.5fb/Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Install --mode=Silent
Starting Installer...
In Silent mode.
Installation successful.
Exiting Installer with Code: 0
They always report that they run successfully, but don't seem to actually install anything. If I remove the silent flag, the installer will run, successfully, albeit with user interaction, which isn't desirable. Has anyone encountered a similar issue, or have a good way around it?

Although I already provided the solution privately I will post it here as well in case other users are facing the same problem.
The correct syntax for silent deployment is:
sudo ./Install --mode=silent --deploymentFile="path"
So for example:
sudo ./Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Install --mode=silent --deploymentFile=deploy/AdobeDigitalPublishing-mul.install.xml
(the assumption here is that the user is in the directory where Install.app is.
From the command line you should see "Installation successful. Exiting Installer with code: 0.

I only ever activated one license for cs5 mac. Stuck using PC now. Help please.

Now I'm using a Wacom companion, and forced to operate windows on it. Isn't there something I can do or someone I can talk to in order to gain access on both operating systems?

A CS5 mac license is only for a Mac and cannot be exchanged for a PC. One way out is to upgrade for $200 to CS6 and order a free Platform swap to PC.
A better way is Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud
You get Photoshop as part of the deal and can move between PC and Mac as much as you like. $10 monthly or $120 annual. All future upgrades and versions part of the deal.

Unable to initialize installer for CS5 after formatting hard drive.

I just reformatted my computer's hard drive and I'm trying to re-install CS5, but every time I try to run the set-up for the installer it errors out with the message, "Installer faled to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem." I have downloaded and run the Support Advisor but it has detected no additional issues, and adobe support just told me to come here.

Can you tell us what OS?

Launching the installer for CS5 Design Premium

I downloaded a copy of CS5 Design Premium for Mac and attempted to launch the installer but received the following error message: "Install" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. How can I launch the installer so I can activate the software?

That message is from Apple's new Gatekeeper feature in OS X Mavericks. Nothing to do with Adobe.
You can temporarily bypass Gatekeeper in order to install the software

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to start the installation for CS5.5 when downloaded no disk?

I have lost my Adobe disk and have followed the instructions to download the file now from the Adobe website. I now have the download but it is doing nothing to start the install process. I was wondering if someone may be able to help me with where I go from here?
I have the icon on the desktop and when I double click it it just opens up to all the files. There is a Install folder I click on it and nothing happens. I keep getting errors and have no idea what to do now. Help please?
Thanks!

Hi Kglad
what's your os?
Yosemite 10.10.2
what file (name and extension) did you download?
Downloaded from here:
Download CS5.5 products
Used the English Mac OS X file 1 of 1
what program/suite are you trying to install?
CS5.5 Master Suite
The file downloaded file. Asked me to click complete (or something like that ) I did. It then added the icon to my desk top. Now it just seems like it needs to start the install but it never launches. I double click on the file and it opens up the folders in Finder. I then have options of Deploy, Install, Payload and Packages. I double click on Install and nothing happens.
I have no idea where to go from here. The error that keeps telling me to reinstall Indesign etc (what ever Adobe program I click on I get the same) keeps happening.
We have this problem now because we had to replace the harddrive on the Mac to and upgraded to Yosemite to get some other issues sorted. Since then we can't do anything with the Adobe programs.

Can someone help me troubleshoot font installation for CS5?

I have purchased fonts from the Adobe store. I have Windows 7 and am using Adobe CS5 in the cloud. I have gone through installation of the fonts through Windows and then copy/pasted the fonts into the Programs/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts Recommended (and Fonts Required) folders. My Adobe Illustrator still does not recognize them and tells me I have an unrecognizable font in my files. Please help.

Hi Mylenium,
I wish I could say that worked - they are still not visible / useable to me in the Adobe products. What else can I do to fix this?

When I open the installer for CS5.5, message reading "Install can't be opened. You should eject the disk image" appears. I can't get 5.5 to install.

Any ideas? I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.4...
Thank you!!

Try downloading a clean copy of CS5.5 from this location instead:

Changing password from a Windows XP computer for a Mac managed domain

I've experimented a little with this a did a search but can't seem to find information on it...
We have an Apple Xserve running OS X 10.4 and I am considering using it to manage a Microsoft Windows domain for our Windows PCs. It seems quite capable of doing that.
However, I was trying out changing a user password (user and password are from the Apple Open Directory server) from a Windows PC on another domain using the usual method you would do that: username, domain (actually exists on the Apple), old password, new password, etc. There seemed to be something missing as it didn't work.
Will this only work if the PC is part of the Domain for the username that needs the password changed? You can change passwords across Domains normally if doing this from a Windows PC, in my experience.
I need to be sure that MS Windows users will be able to change their passwords from their PCs before I move any MS Windows computers on to the Apple Server managed Domain.
Anyone have information on this?
Thanks.

nslookup resolves the DNS name when on both the server and the client MS windows PC.
I re-started the Windows service on the server and it now shows in the domain and is accessable through browsing the MS Network "My Network Places". So all of that was probably a tangent.
I've tried the password changing again a few times since but no luck. The server logs seem to show failed authentication for user "admin" but the username I was trying to change the password for was another username. ???

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Desperate For Help...Calling All EXperts.
Hey guys, I don't know where else to turn with this problem...actually can't believe I waited this long. I have a huge FUBAR of a situation going on with my MacBook Pro. About three months ago there was ann accident here and my baby got doused with water, needless to say it didn't quite get rescued all the way but I am hoping you guys can give me hope, So some keys got burned out and actually then end up sticking so I had to disable the keyboard somehow....figured that out by switching to a bluetooth keyboard. HOWEVER.....in the middle of all of this my ADMIN account was entered with the keys sticking and the the password somehoe got changed to whatever freaking sticky key pattern was entered so needless to say, my computer is now the boss of ME. To top off this flusterduck my DVD drive works about once every other month....so rebooting with install disk is not gonna happen. It is getting to be a real problem now because I can't do any upgrades because I can't alter the Applications directory because I don't have Administrator access.
Is there any hope to be able to make this work, it has to be some kind of action that I can do AFTER he bluetooth keyboard activates on startup. I know if there is anyone that can figure it out it is someone on this forum...please help me.
I have a MacBook Pro ...it is almost two years old. 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo / Memory: 4GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM I also have to 1TB external hard drives running off the firewire.
Any advice would be more than i have now....all I have is hope.

My "3d" option menu wont highlight ANYTHING in PS CS5. HELP!

i have photoshop cs5 extended, and for some reason my "3d" option menu wont highlight ANYTHING and i want very badly to use the Repousse' feature... will u please help me get past this problem? the project i'm working on is very important. thanks

3D options require very specific things of video interfaces.
PLEEEEEEASE post ALL the details of your nVidia video interface. Make, model, amount of video RAM, driver version. All this is essential to give you more specific help.
Also, it would be very helpful if you would list what is shown for the OpenGL option in your Edit - Preferences - Performance menu (in Photoshop).
The thinking here is that your video hardware (or driver) isn't up to the task of rendering 3D features, but we can't really know that yet.
The standard advice if the hardware seems to be a model that should support 3D operations is to visit the nVidia web site and ensure you have the latest drivers to support Photoshop's requirements.
There are also some possible tweaks to force Photoshop to try to use your video card's more advanced features, but let's take this one step at a time.

- How did you dlete stuff from the iPod? If you have a 1G or 2G iPod and deleted the stuff by going to Settings>Genera.>Reset>Erase aall contents and settings without being connected to a power source, the battery dies before he erase was comleted since it can take hour.
- In any event try the following:
- Connect to a chaging sour for three hours.
- Reset the iPod and then connect to the computer and try to restore va iTunes.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try placing the iPod in recovery moe and then try to restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last try DFU made and restore.
