Photoshop CS3 reinstall with no disk

I recently switched macs and managed to back up my old software (somewhat). Because this Mac has a broken CD drive, I cannot use the install disk. I copied my old software over, and it looks like it will start to run, and then shut down. It gives me this DYLD error:
Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/AdobeAGM.framework/Versions/A/AdobeAGM. I tried using the install cleaner and it won't detect my software. I have my license number and I'm prepared to PM it if anyone needs it for the solution. I just need the free trial of CS3 to upgrade to the full and i'll be on my way.
Thanks!

Bigsis97 please do not private message your serial number to anyone other than Adobe Staff.  Even then I would recommend sending it via e-mail if it is necessary.
First I would recommend removing your current installation of Creative Suite 3.  Please run all available uninstallers in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once this is done please run the CC Cleaner Tool to ensure complete removal.  You can find details and a link to download the CC Cleaner tool at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
Finally if you need a fresh copy of the installation files you can download them from Download CS3 products.

  • Photoshop CS3 Reinstall

    How do I reinstall Photoshop CS3 on a new iMac which has no DVD drive?

    if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    and activate with your serial.
    if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
    or, you can copy your install files to a usb drive (if you have access to a computer with a dvd drive and usb port), and use the usb drive to install your cs3.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 - Problem with Trial

    I recently downloaded and installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 directly from Adobe as it is the latest version my Mac supports. Upon start up, I am greeted with two options: a) I have a serial number for this product. and b) I want to try Adobe Photoshop CS3 free for 30 days. Seeing how I am simply looking to evaluate and have not purchased said product, I selected option b.
    However, upon clicking "Next >" I am greeted by an error. "Problem with Trial" I am left with nothing but wasted time. This is the first time I have ever installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 so I do not understand why it will only allow access with a serial number. Any help to allow me to try this software is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Could the trial have a time bomb in it that prevents use after several years? There's not much of a need for Adobe to allow trials to run for so long after the product's life cycle has concluded.

  • Is Photoshop CS3 compatible with Windows 8

    I am planing to get a new computer with windows 8 and I am currently using Photoshop CS3 in a windows XP computer.  Do I need to get the upgrade to CS6 or can I get an update for CS3 to work on Windows 8?

    PS CS3 is not supported on Win 8. So, its best to upgrade to PS CS6 and use it flawlessly with Win 8.

  • Photoshop CS3 Crashing with Snow Leopard

    Photoshop CS3 keeps crashing on my if I try to do anything related to the animation window.
    I create website ads in this program so I really need this to work.
    I can't do anything in photoshop if I have the animation window open, however I can edit photos and things without an animation file & window open.
    I've tried reinstalling the Creative Suite 3 Premium a few times and deleting my preferences files for the entire suite and nothing has solved the problem.
    Someone have any idea of a fix? Thanks.

  • Hi thinking of buying a new PC and upgrading to windows 8.  Will Photoshop CS3 work with windows 8

    I am thinking of only going as high as Photoshop CS5 or 6.  '
    I already have Photoshop CS3, and am more than satisfied with this, and would be delighted if this can be installed on a computer using windows 8
    Thank you
    Barbara

    I heard you could only use from CS5 upwards, so didn’t know of CS 3 would work – guess it is worth a try though
    Thanks

  • Cannot install, Photoshop CS3 conflicts with Photoshop CS3

    Here's the correct sequence to uninstall the CS3 beta and install the final, shipping version of CS3:
    1. DEACTIVATE the Photoshop CS3 beta;
    2. Run the Adobe Uninstaller currently residing in your ./ Applications / Utilities /Adobe folder to uninstall the Photoshop CS3 beta;
    3. Run the 'CS3Clean' script that has been posted to remove the bits and pieces that the uninstaller misses.
    NOTE that you cannot just drag the CS3 beta folder to the Trash like you normally do with other Mac applications.
    To install CS3:
    1. Repair Permissions.
    2. Install CS3 according to the instructions.
    3. Repair Permissions AGAIN.
    4. Activate the software.
    here is the link to the clean script:

    *"HOW DO I RECTIFY THIS?! im pulling my hair out."*
    Sorry, dude. No sympathy. You're committing software piracy and telling the whole world about it. Not smart. If you want to run Photoshop, then buy your own copy.
    For help with (un)installing Photoshop for when you get your legit copy, I suggest you post your question on Adobe's discussion forums, as it's their product, not Apple's.

  • Is Photoshop CS3 compatible with FC?

    Hi Guys,
    i Just found out about FC. the thing is in the tutuorials all the demos are done using Photoshop CS4.
    i have photoshop & illustrator, indesign, dreamweaver and flash CS3 will these work with Flash Catalyst?
    just want to make sure before i install the FC download.
    Cheers

    Catalyst can import files from Photoshop CS3 and Illustrator CS3 files, so you are free to use these products with Catalyst.
    The round editing workflow is only supported by Illustrator CS 4, however. Round trip editing is accomplished through a new file format called "fxg" and CS3 products don't have support for this format.

  • Is photoshop cs3 compatible with OS 10.9

    If I upgrade from 10.6.8 to OS 10.9, will my copy of Adobe photoshop CS3 still be compatible?

    No, I don't think so. See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

  • Will Photoshop CS3 work with Intel i5 processor?

    Hello all,
    I'm ready to bit the bullet on a new laptop and am looking at the 15" i5 2.4 ghz with 4 gigs of ram. Will CS3 work with this processor? I'm guessing it will but want to e sure in advance. Thanks so much to all.

    Adobe revises Snow Leopard FAQ re: CS3, Flash
    Adobe has posted a revised FAQ (PDF) concerning application testing & compatibility with Snow Leopard. Notably:
    Q. Do Adobe Creative Suite 3 products support Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6)?
    A. Adobe has worked closely with Apple throughout the Snow Leopard development and testing process. Adobe has conducted its own additional testing of our Adobe CS3 software on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and is confident that our CS3 applications will function as expected with Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Adobe did uncover some non‐critical issues, which are documented for our customers to review*.
    Additionally:
    The initial release of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6) includes an earlier version of Adobe Flash Player than what is currently available from Adobe. Adobe recommends all users update to the latest version of Flash Player (10.0.32.18) which supports Snow Leopard and is available for download from Adobe.com.
    I don't believe there are issues with SL and CS3 at present.

  • Photoshop CS3 crashes with a Network Printer

    Regarding issue kb402704:
    Our company only uses network printers. It is completely ridiculous that we have to set the Adobe printer as our default printer in order for Photoshop to run without crashing. We pay all this money for CS3 and your only fix is to set a different printer as default. This is a huge bug that should be looked at. Kinda stupid that CS2 doesnt have this problem with the EXACT same printer.

    There are some issues with some users of network printers. The problem
    is that it's hit or miss and not easily reproducible. I'm using a
    network printer as my default with no problems at all.
    I'll also point out that this is a user to user forum, not a direct link
    to Adobe. You're simply ranting at other users.

  • Nothing is working as far as me fixing my computer I think I should just reinstall with the disk. Suggestions?

    I think I should just reinstall everything nothing works how do I do iy?

    Can you explain more what it is not working?
    If OS X behaviour is completely wrong and near all apps do not work, you should consider the option of erasing the hard drive and reinstalling OS X. Make sure you have got a backup of your files.
    To do it, hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting up to start up in OS X Recovery. Then, open Disk Utility and erase Macintosh HD > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU2.html Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X.

  • Photoshop CS3 reinstall problem

    I had installed cs3 on a secondary harddrive than went bad. When I
    try to reinstall it's trying to repair the exsisting version that I guess some files were installed on my primary harddrive. It gives me the message of:
    any help?

    A Google Search turns up a lot of people recommending 3rd party uninstallers.  I haven't used any of those and can't recommend one.
    Adobe themselves have a variety of removal aids...  Many look like they were for beta versions, but it's possible they could help you.  This turns up a lot of possibilties:

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Reinstall with no disc :s

    I'm not sure how it happened, but I can't seem to find my
    disc for my copy of Dreamweaver CS3.
    I went to install it onto my laptop but I opened the box and
    there was no disc. I have a legal serial number, but everywhere I
    look there's only downloads for CS4 and none for CS3.
    Anyone have any ideas? :( I only need the installer
    portion...

    Grab just about any book on Dreamweaver CS3. They almost
    always come with a disc that includes the 30-day trial. When
    prompted for the serial number enter your own and you're good to
    go.
