Photoshop CS2 won't let me open?

I received Photoshop CS2 from Adobe because they shut down the CS server, killing my program. I installed the program using their serial number and when I open it, it says the serial number was not installed and then when I push 'ok' it shuts down. How do I fix this

Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

  • Photoshop CS2 won't reinstall and open properly - help!

    My laptop motherboard fried and so I'm trying to reinstall my CS2 Creative Suite (legal copy) on my new laptop.  Since my old serial number is no longer supported, I downloaded the creative suite from the links provided on the Adobe website.  All of the other programs have opened just fine, but when I try to run Photoshop, I get an error that says "Your Adobe Photoshop user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid.  The application cannot continue and must now exit.  And then it closes.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop, and have also tried downloading the just the Photoshop file from the website, but it never presents me with an opportunity to put in a serial number, which the other programs did.  I don't know what else to try.  I tried to talk to the customer service people on the chat, but that guy just told me to come on here - not helpful at all!
    I didn't think that this would be a 4+ hour project just to reinstall one set of programs, let alone everything else that I lost when my computer fried.  So frustrating!
    Any help appreciated!

    Each application or suite has its own S/N.  You cannot mix them, nor can you use the s/n for a point application on a suite or vice versa.

I NEVER hated APPLE until NOW!! I love APPLE products and apps so please help me stay in that mindset. So I worked on some movie projects when I got my macbook pro 6 months ago. I update reguarly. I saw the update prompt and honestly, I did not think I would have ANY issuess with opening my previous files that I created only a few months ago with this updated version.The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message and the iMovie app closes. Last night I saw the file and tried to open it but no luck. Error message came up again. I reboot and turned off my laptop for the evening and tried again just now but nothing!! I need that video. My job depends on it! I worked so hard on this wedding video and now it's lost and won't open. I work another job and don't have much time. I really don't want to start all over again. Please help me. Thanks so much for your assistance.

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

  • Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. how do i fix the problem

    Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. It use to allow me to open multiple windows before but for no apparent reason it stopped. I uninstalled it and re-installed but I'm having the same problem. How do I fix the problem
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == several days ago

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

    Go to settings> general and scroll down to multitasking geastures, turn them on and by swiping with four fingers from the right side of the iPad to the left and back you can switch between apps. I think this is what you need I'm not sure, I hope it helps

  • How do I delete terminal from my dock, it won't let me open a download. What is terminal and how did I get it on my dock?

    How do I delete terminal from my dock, it won't let me open a download. What is terminal and how did I get it on my dock?

    Just drag it off the Dock and it will go "poof"
    Look at the Options... when you click on it. Unless it got set to stay there, something you did or an app did caused it to be open.
    Are there any windows open attached to it?
    Is it set to "open on login"?
    I use it but I do not have it or keep it on my Dock. It is found in /Applications/Utilities and installers may need to use it.

  • My System Preferences won't let me open accounts?

    My System Preferences won't let me open accounts? I really need it to work please help. Hugz and kissez Abbyxoxo1010

    Hello Makena Little,
    It sounds like you are unable to change your wallpaper background because that section of your System Preferences says that it is loading adn will not finish. I recommend performing a Safe Boot, then leaving it and retesting the issue:
    OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
    Starting up in Safe Mode
    To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
    The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
    To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • My mac won't let me open mainstage

    i installed logic x onto my mac through the app store and it came with mainstage. i installed an update that my mac was bugging me for. now it won't let me open mainstage as it seems to think it was installed off a cd and i need the CD key which i do not have as i bought it through the app store. how do i sort this?

    It is likely more something wrong with your kit. Try manually downloading and installing 10.7.1 over the top of your current installation of Lion. Hopefully it will fill in any missing pieces.

  • My iPad won't let me open Safari...

    They won't let me open Safari on my iPad because it says the username and password are corrupted.  How can I use Safari?

    This sounds like a scam attempt.  I don't know of any such dialog in Safari (about the username and password being corrupt).
    Can you post a screenshot?  Launch Safari, then press Home+Power buttons at the same time, then press the Home button, then launch Photos, then mail yourself the screenshot so it can be posted here.
