PhotoShop CS3 Hangs on Splash Screen - New MacBook Pro w/Mavericks
I just loaded CS3 PhotoShop and Illustrator onto my new 15" Retna MacBook Pro running Mavericks.
The programs begin to start up but get hung up at the splash screen.
There's nothing I can do except Force Quit the application. All of the top menu items are grayed out rendering the programs useless.
I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like when PhotoShop loads.
How do I resolve this?
I've let the applications just sit for over 20 minutes but nothing happens. They're just stuck.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
disconnect from internet
start CS3
when error message shows say never
connect to internet
Should solve problem

I have a new macbook pro running mavericks and only using Safari as my browser. 75% of my url requests are 'hung up' and freeze. I have seen other posts and have tried to clear cache, reset safari, remove extensions, but to no avail.
Any recommendations?If it works in a new user account, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

CS3 Install Error on new MacBook Pro w/Mavericks
I am attempting to install Illustrator from my CS3 Web Premium discs on a brand new 15" MacBook Pro/Retina. PhotoShop came over with Migration Assistant from my older MacBook Pro.
When I click "Setup" the instal starts but then I get a Startup Error "required resources missing".
It doesn't tell me what resources are missing so the only thing I can do is click "Quit".
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks!OK
I tried running the Uninstall and got the same Setup Error "required resources missing" so I couldn't even run that.
I used App Cleaner to remove all of the CS3 programs and then restarted my MacBook Pro.
I then downloaded the AdobeCreativeCloudCleaningTool.dmg file. I double clicked it in my downloads folder and let it clean up CS3.
Then I restarted my computer again.
I plugged the UBS SuperDrive in and inserted the Adobe Creative Suite' 3 Web Premium Application disk and clicked on Setup.
It starts to set up (initializing set up) and then gives me the same Setup Error "required resources missing".
I even followed this link that you gave me:
http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here. html
And tried to download the File 1 for Trial under Mac and get the following:
HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
This is crazy. I own this software. I have it sitting in front of me. I just can't get it to install.
Is there somewhere I can get this missing required resource and put it in the correct location so my software will load?
This was not inexpensive software and I have been using it for quite some time on my older MacBook Pro. I shiould be able to continue to use it. Don't you think?
Any other help/ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! -

Transfer files from old macbook pro to new macbook pro using mavericks
I have called Apple support about 5 times about this and have been given 3 or 4 different response none of them work.
I do not have an ethernet cable.
The computers are on same network.
I have time capsule not yet set up. Apple support told me to use usb but no port on new mac. So old mac is running OSX 10.8.5 and new one is Maverick. I cannot update files on old computer as I just get this message to sign in to my acount that used to buy old apps.I am 1.5 hours away from apple store so if i needed special cable from Apple i would have purchased it with Time Capsule. I was told that to do it wirelessly would take over a day.
Right now am puzzling over what is best to do without losing files. I dont want to lost my music files as I have had them for a long time and all were not purchased from itunes store.
Any thoughts on where to start feel free to suggest them.
Thanks JanJust one comment on this:
‘If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?’
the problems are ALWAYS in the reverse way, when you have the newest (or a newer) version of a given app, and wish to transfer its library to an older version.
Otherwise, see the link to Pondini.
I have been using Martin Jahn’s iBackup, with which I have become accustomed and works fine. It also makes daily backups. Its advantage over other apps is that you may add whatever you wish to save, beside its default settings (which you may delete or cancel, of course, even if not recommended); it also has a friendly interface and easily customizable. Of course, this is a personal view, you may try other methods as well, or other backup apps. All are good if you are satisfied and correspond to your needs. -
Startup disk almost full for brand new Macbook Pro with Mavericks
I recently purchased a brand new Macbook Pro Retina that runs on Mavericks. I keep getting a message saying that my start up disk is almost full, even though I have almost no files on the hard drive other than whatever was pre-installed by Apple. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

New macbook pro with mavericks but time machine back up with Mountain Lion
Due to an incident with a cup of coffee my 2009 Macbook pro was unexpectedly destroyed. However I now have (thanks to Insurance) a new Macbook Pro which runs Maverick. I have a back up of my Mac from Time machine however my latest back up was using Mountain Lion, am I going to be able to re-install this back up onto my new computer? If not how can I get my data out of Time Machine onto my new mac?
You need to erase and format the new HD as OS X Extended (journaled), restore the TM backup onto it, and then reinstall Lion to put on the Recovery HD. Best is to do all of that in an ext HD enclosure, ensure that it boots the MBP, and then put it into the MBP. Once that's done and, if the MBP supports it, upgrade to Mtn Lion, which is what Lion should have been when it shipped.

How can I get updates for Photoshop CS5 to download to my new Mac book pro where CS5 is already installed from my original disk? I have tried many times over 2 days. I get the same error messages re downloading error. I successfully downloaded the current version of Adobe DNG Converter & it installed perfectly. Help please!
The Adobe auto updater is highly unreliable.
You need to look for and download the update yourself and then manually apply it as per the detailed instructions on the download page:

Please note that the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in must be updated separately, after you have updated Photoshop:

New MacBook Pro with Mavericks- reformat or not?
Hi folks,
Background: I had a lovely MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard which died on me and so I replaced it last week with this equally lovely late 2013 Retina 15" 2.3GHz i7 MacBook Pro which, obviously, came with Mavericks.
But since I was under pressure to get work out I actually set myself up on this Mac, using Mavericks, thinking to just drag some of my files from the old MacBook Pro's hard drive (already in a caddy) to "stock up" my new computer with files I needed when I discovered the Migration Assistant and, perhaps, ill-advisedly just migrated the lot.
I have used it fine with only three applications of, quite literally, a hundred or so lost to me and two glitches probably due to "confused" preferences, but I know that having done it this way is not ideal. I have the original Mavericks based User (hidden of course) and the migrated one.
Snow Leopard versus Mavericks: I very much like Snow Leopard and I don't actually dislike Mavericks as much as I thought I might. But if I were to have to choose one OS over the other the one which would save me money would possibly win.
My problem with Mavericks is two-fold: 1. I have Photoshop CS (yes, OLD. But I cannot justify buying upgrades and it works well for what I use it for) and cannot now run it, and 2. I MUST be able to run Final Cut Pro (6 but I recently bought 7 finally) on it reliably (and I have never had crashes under Snow Leopard, never EVER, but had already one in just one week with Mavericks, possibly due to the way the application arrived on the machine I realise).
My only problem with Snow Leopard is that it is not as cool as Mavericks but for a video editor that is not the be all and end all of it...
What I would like help with is:
1. Could I even have this new Mac run well enough with ancient Snow Leopard (so that I can rescue Photoshop CS)?
2. If absolutely, categorically now- how do I start over? I mean- uninstall the migrated User and take the machine to factory settings? IS it as simple as reformatting (I ask the "silly" question due to the fact that I have not yet worked with a computer which doesn't have install disks) and then reinstalling the software (yes- I have an external hard drive now)?
3. How to effectively "pick the bones" of the old hard drive (I still have the hard drive in the caddy I can take files from- it has become a sort of "time capsule" of my old MacBook Pro) so that I don't mess up Mavericks but still get things like my old email, iPhotos and some installed applications which I am not sure I can find the download links for (even though I have my purchased serial numbers they are often not associated with the download website and with so many I am concerned that I might lose some).

CS3 and newer will run, CS2 or older will not.
You can not run Snow Leopard on your machine (unless you run the Server version in a virtual machine)
Erase your Mac, use Setup Assistant and do the migration correctly, start with an empty Mac (like a new one is)
As for FCP, there are mixed reports, some say it will not install but once installed (?) will run OK, you can but try. -

You shouldn't. That's the reason for having a backup.
The best way is to use Setup Assistant when you get the new Mac. For details read this from the late Apple Support Communities contributor Pondini:

Fcp7 will not load on to my new macbook pro with mavericks
I am trying to move Final Cut Studio from my old macbook pro to my 17" macbook pro i7. It prompts me to add the serial number and then it says that the serial number is invalid. Is there a problem this program and the Mavericks OS?
How are you trying to install FCP? You can't just copy it, Pro Apps need to be installed to work.
When you got your original computer with the pre-installed FCP-7 weren't there discs included?
You would be best served to install from them.
Also, if you are running FCP-X there are specific installation guidelines to have both FCP-7 and FCP-X installed on the same computer:
See this document:
Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, Compressor 4: Installation best practices - Apple Support
about half way down the page.

Also: If you are doing a clean install of FCP-7, then you should use
