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.

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:

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.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 printing to an HP Pro B9180

I am trying to print a borderless project. The preview looks perfect but when printed it cuts 1/8th of an inch off the top. I have reinstalled Adobe Photoshop CS3, reinstalled the printer and spent 2 hours with an HP tech online and no fixes yet. Windows Vista Home Premium is the O/S.
Any suggestions, thanks Jan

Hi Jan,
Don't know if this will help or not, but it may be worth a look. Russell Brown has a video tutorial on printing with CS3 to the HP Photosmart B9180 here:
http://www.russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html
You'll have to scroll about 1/3 down the page to get to the section entitled
Adobe Photoshop CS3 Standard Edition Tutorials
and its the third tutorial in the list. He also gives some useful tips about drivers et cetera.
Good luck.

Cannot reinstall photoshop cs3 extended on vista

I bought Photoshop PS3 Extended 4/26/07 and have been running it on a Vista PC. I tried to launch it in 4/2011, but it said something about the license not working and to uninstall and re-install.
I uninstalled and have been trying ever since to reinstall. I do install with “Run as Administrator”.
For 8 weeks, I battled with this error from the Event Viewer: Product: Adobe Fonts All -- Error 1907.Could not register font . Verify that you have sufficient permissions to install fonts, and that the system supports this font.
I run the uninstall program after each try, as PS comes up in my program list, but fails to install shared components and the PS3 program.
After trying all the advice from Adobe & Vista support sites (including Adobe's Doc IDs KB401401, KB401488, KB401501, KB402151), I thought it was AGaramondPro-Italic.otf, but no matter how I tried (copying it from my Encore, downloading a new copy, deleting it all together) it wouldn't work. All those support sites said to contact Adobe, but Adobe no longer supports CS3. Finally I installed the trial of Photoshop CS5 and it took care of the font problem.
However, it STILL won't re-install. Event Viewer no longer shows any errors, but when I check the Information messages and the photoshop log files, I see that about 1/3 of the components are not installing, but say: "Result: 1610, Text: The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel."
Another part of the installation log is: ADOBE_SETUP=1 MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL=Disable PROPERTY_FILE="C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Temp\adbD68C.tmp" REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=poms 1: 0 2: 0 3: 1252 1: 0 2: 0 3: 0 1: PDF Settings This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator.
Again, I have tried the adobe clean up script, searching the registry (though I haven't found any help for registry keys specific to CS3 Extended), installed from my hard drive, tried with UAC on and off (mostly off!), have virus scan turned off, etc.
I've spent countless hours on this and am so frustrated that I can't put my installation disc in and have it just install.

Well, reads/copies of data from CDs sometimes do get errors.
I wrote a small command line tool a long while ago that will read every file in every folder under a given starting point and calculate a CRC value. I sometimes use this to check to see if everything is has been copied properly from a CD to a hard drive.
I have a download of Photoshop CS3 that I just ran the tool on, starting with the folder containing the Setup.exe for Photoshop.

Trying to launch photoshop cs3 on a mac running OS10.6.8 i keep getting the error message: Licensing for this product has stopped working you cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this pro

trying to launch photoshop cs3 on a mac running OS10.6.8 i keep getting the error message: Licensing for this product has stopped working you cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT adminstrator or Adobe customer support for help
I already Uninstalled and reinstalled the product and it still does not work.

Hi,
Try to uninstall the software again and you have to manually
Delete the following folders:
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/backup
[Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
Go to Applications-->Utilities-->Disk Utility, Open it and Select the MAC HD and then click on Repair permissions.
After that try to run the cleaner tool as mentioned by kglad.
Restart machine and then try to install again.
*** Make sure , you only delete these folders if there is no other adobe applications installed on the machine. As if you have any other Adobe application of the suite ( not free applications ) then it will be a problem.

How to reinstall Photoshop CS3 with external hard drive?

I have C3 Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. on my iMac. Is there a way to put it on my external drive and put in back on my iMac? (This is if I have to reinstall the OS.) Would it ask for a serial number again?
Also, is there a way to verify the serial number of the program? I have a number written but I'm not sure if that's it.
Thank you!

An Archive and Install should preserve third party software, but I've heard Adobe can be tricky.
As for putting it on an external and then moving it back, Adobe CS is known to be very fussy about getting moved. It might think you are trying to install it on another computer and prevent you from moving it to the external and then back. But anyway, since it has files all over the place, I don't think it's as simple as moving the application over. You will probably need to do a clone -- a clone will bring everything over -- which might get around the license issue, and then reverse clone from the external back to the Mac. But on the CCC Forum, I have read that some people have had problems cloning Adobe, not sure which version though.
If you have the CS3 Install Disc, then you might just want to de-activate it first and then reinstall once you've done the system reinstall.
One excellent cloning program is Carbon Copy Cloner
http://www.bombich.com/
And, if needed (according to this, you are allowed to install it on two computers, so maybe it isn't necessary to deactivate it first. Then, again by deactivating, you would preserve the option to install it on another computer):

Trying to reinstall Photoshop CS3 after removing trial version of PS CS4

Hi,
I'm on an HP laptop - Win XP Home Edition - 1 gb RAM, plenty of space.
So, after major, continuous crashing in Photoshop CS3, I decided to see if CS4 would work ok. It was nice, but I let the trial expire and decided to continue to see if 3 would get in gear.
I removed the trial software (i thought)
Today, I uninstalled CS3, so I could reinstall the whole thing rather than repairing it. It won't reinstall because the CS4 files have been moved.
is there some way to completely wipe out all reference to 4?
thanks in advance!
dana

ok - well, I found the informationin KB 401401 to be the most helpful - after wiping out the entire suite of CS3 - finally got it to reinstall (after the second time)...
NOW, back to my ORIGINAL issue - Photoshop CS3 crashes every time I open a second photo... So... there's that again. Anyone have any ideas?
Thank yOU!!

Help!!! Can't reinstall Photoshop CS3

Soundbooth beta has caused some conflicts with my Photoshop CS3 (I am assuming that is what is causing my photoshop wierdness) causing me to have to reinstall Photoshop. When I attempted to do so, I got a message to insert Soundbooth CS4. I uninstalled Soundbooth. So I thought. But every time I try to reinstall Photoshop, I am asked to insert Soundbooth CS4.
HELP. I desperately need to reinstall Photoshop and naturally Adobe is closed until Monday.
Note: I am on a Mac 10.5.4, 9 Gg RAM if that helps.

We need more information.

Photoshop CS3 improperly removed... Can't be reinstalled

Ok, so.
I had the BETA of Photoshop CS3 on my computer months ago. It was improperly removed (dragged to the trash), and not I cannot install the Photoshop CS3 Trial. When I go install, it says that it conflicts with Photoshop CS3.
Can anyone help?

I did exactly what you did and remove the beta version manually over a month ago. It took me over five hours to figure out the following solution. What follows is exactly how I did it, and that part took slightly less then an hour.
1. You must deactivate (Adobe says any CS3 eg. Bridge application will work) but I was able to reinstall the beta verison and do it with Photoshop. Once that's reinstalled you will get an error message that says you have an expired pass word. I manually changed the date on my computer to April 16, 2007 and much to my surprise I was able to deactivate. Once the deactivation starts you will get a message its working and then its completed.
2. You then go throught the beta version of uninstall, but thats not all. Photoshop still will not load.
3. There are a bunch of other programs that Adobe has listed at the bottom almost hidden part of their tech note titled "Manually Remove Photoshop CS3 public beta (MAC OS X)" Only after these programs are also remove will you be able to load CS3.
Finally, for me the beta version was a disaster, for example it really screwed up my abbility to process raw files on any version of Photoshop/
G4 with 800 MHz DP Mac OS X (10.3.9)

When I try to reinstall my Photoshop CS3 I get asked for my P.S. CS4 disk.I don't have a CS4 disk. Why?? Thanks! Tom

This usually happens when you had/ have a newer Adobe product like a trial on the system and it points to updated install components. You will have to uninstall each and every bit of Adobe software and then reinstall in the proper order. Running the cleaner tool may also be required.

Trouble reinstalling photoshop cs3

Recently, cs3 has stopped working for me. One day I tried to open it and it wouldn't respond. I tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it and it didn't work - it says failed to install Adobe Photoshop CS3. All the shared components reinstall, but CS3 doesn't.
I downloaded the trial version of CS4 to see if that would work, but again it told me that Adobe Photoshop CS4 has failed to install. And again, all the shared components managed to install.
Can anybody tell me how to fix this?
