Photoshop CS5 Install failure, but on just one instance of SL (the one I

HI, I know this is a strange place to post this, but Adobe Support suggests talking to Apple, as I have an install failure of Photoshop CS5, the install app won't even initialize, and it's just on one instance of SL. I can install fine on other machines, and other bootable drives, but not on the one inside an imac (late 2008 vintage). Baffling, as the problem must be tied to this one instance...my production one. I tried other users on the machine, but no luck...same problem. I checked permissions, ran Disk Warrior, all of that, still no luck. Anyone have any other suggestions besides using Gimp:) thx,
coocoo

I can see what's going on with the installer... first it's supposed to create a temp application dir in the user account, Adobe/OOBE/blabla... then kick off the activation and then the installer. Before it get's to the activation part, it blows and deletes the dir it started. As I successfully can install on another boot drive, I tried to cobble together the installation that way, by just copying files over, and got there - pretty much. I just can't activate with my serial number as I am supposed to be able to do...probably intentionally made so - but PS is running in trial mode on my production machine, and full mode on a test machine - ha! If I could just reverse the situation I would be golden. Anyway, I have another call in to Adobe...

  • My itunes opens and freezes. I tried repeatedly to uninstall it so I could re-install it but it just gives me error messages. Please help!

    My Itunes opens then just freezes. I have tried repeatedly and numerous ways to uninstall it so I could re-install it, but I just get error messages. If you have had this problem and resolved it please help!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    It would help us help you if you provided the exact text of any error messages.

  • Any reason to keep Photoshop CS5 installed?

    I've upgraded to Production Premium CS5.5. Some software (like Bridge CS5, After Effects CS5, and Premiere CS5 need each other to work correctly)  But is there any reason to keep Photoshop CS5 installed. Photoshop CS5.1 is virtually identical, correct?

    No need to keep Photoshop CS 5 as CS5.1 is the same except for the version number.

  • I have Photoshop cs5 installed on a pc and I wish to change platform to an imac. When I try this it flags that my serial number is invalid. Can I change platforms?

    I have Photoshop cs5 installed on a pc. I would like to install on a different platform. How do I do this?

    no.
    your serial number is for a win ps program, not mac.  and that version is too old to swap platforms via adobe, Order product | Platform, language swap
    via adobe you can upgrade to cc and use your apps on both (win and mac) platforms.  cc is the first suite (which includes most adobe apps) that allows you to do this.
    you can also try swapping with a third party and you can use a win emulator on your mac (parallels, bootcamp) though there are problems with these suggestions.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 Subscription Failure

    Hi there.
    I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS5 on my laptop and every time, after installing the product and entering the serial number, the process fails and tells me 'We are unable to start your subscription for Adobe Photoshop CS5 Subscription Edition.'
    It then asks me to relaunch the product and do the installation process again. I have tried this numerous times and it keeps saying the same thing.
    Please help!

    Follow the steps mentioned in the link below, Check your host file for any unwanted enteries.

  • I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 installed in two computers. The hard drive of my home computer crashed and I had no time to deactivate the software. The hard drive needed to be formatted. How can I activate the software CS5 again ? Thank you for an answer.

    I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 installed in two computers. The hard drive of my home computer crashed and I had no time to deactivate the software. The hard drive needed to be formatted. How can I activate the software CS5 again ? Thank you for an answer.

    If it's the same computer, same CPU and same HD, no de-activation or re-activation should be necessary.
    Install from scratch and apply all updates manually.
    Please do a forum search.  I and others have repeatedly answered the question about failed updates of CS5 a whole bunch of times recently.
    Bottom line:  the Adobe auto updater is utterly useless in CS5 and prior versions.  You need to download the updates and apply them manually yourself.
    I and others have even supplied the links for Mac and Win, which you haven't even bothered to specify.

  • I get an error message saying 'An error has caused Photoshop to stop working correctly. Windows will close the programme and notify you if a solution is available'. I have had no notification. My old Photoshop CS5 works fine, but as I'm paying for CC2014

    I get an error message saying 'An error has caused Photoshop to stop working correctly. Windows will close the programme and notify you if a solution is available'. I have had no notification. My old Photoshop CS5 works fine, but as I'm paying for CC2014 I would like to use it. I have tried renaming the 'sniffer' file to 'snifferold' as bobmiller4002 suggested but the problem is not resolved. Lightroom works fine.

    Hi Nancy,
                 I'm not sure I have the answers to all your questions. Although I use Photoshop and Lightroom extensively, I'm not a 'techy'.
    My system;
    Packard bell imedia S2885
    1TB hard drive
    500G RAM
    Windows 8.1   64- bit
    Intel core i5 4440
    If I open Photoshop cc14 without opening any image, I still get an error message that reads: 'Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled enhancements which use the graphics hardware'.
    There is also a link to the Adobe help site, but I'm not sure exactly what I should be downloading from there.  
             Thanks,
                        Dan.

  • Have photoshop cs5 installed on desktop..got new Canon rebel T5i camera...cannot open RAW images...updated and installed plug-in...still now working.  Need help, please.

    I have photoshop cs5 installed on desktop...got new Canon rebel T5i camera...cannot open RAW images...updated and installed plug-in...still not working...help please.

    In any event, that camera was first supported by ACR version 7.4 which needs at least CS6 to run.  Naturally, all later versions support it too.
    Your choice is either to upgrade your Photoshop, or to look for, download, install, launch and run the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 on each folder containing your raw Canon files to convert them first to raw DNGs that you can open in CS5.
    In no case does an Adobe application belong "on your desktop".  The default install location should always be respected and left alone.

  • I understand that with my Photoshop/Lightroom 9.95 subscription I can activate two "machines".  Do I have to include my iPad and Android cell phone, both of which have LR Mobile installed, or can I just count my desktop and the laptop I'm getting ready to

    I understand that with my Photoshop/Lightroom 9.95 subscription I can activate two "machines".  Do I have to include my iPad and Android cell phone, both of which have LR Mobile installed, or can I just count my desktop and the laptop I'm getting ready to purchase?

    As John has correctly the two activation are for computers, for using it on i pad & android you will have to refer to :
