Photoshop CS6 Extended for Mac Failure to Install

I purchased the student addition for my iMac (10.8 version and plenty of space for it to be on my computer) of the Photoshop CS6 extended. When I go to my orders to download, you have to download the Akamai Download Manager 834 KB, which I did, and it opened up the download instructions from the Akamai net session interface. Then I went to download the actual product. Akamai Download Manager 1.01 GB, which I did and that puts the visual 'disc' image on my computer. Once I open that, I open the adobe Photoshop CS6 folder and it starts to download but stops and says
'We've encountered the following issues
Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem"
Well that's funny when you click on that, it's discontinued. When I go to the support section, it doesn't help. Nor does the Phone representatives actually help with any Creative Suite products.The online chat though it is within hours, they aren't helping either. I have tried the CC cleaner app, which did nothing to alleviate my problem, and even actually tried download CC to see if it had the old version of photoshop on there-which it does not. As well as accessing the 'hidden' user library files to see if I could override with an install log if in case I had a faulty code. Which I could not find/did not seem to appear to be one. ( Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC)
What can I do for this to work? Am I missing something? I really need photoshop and I don't want creative cloud. I'd rather shoot myself in the head. And I am getting beyond frustrated, so I hope ya'll can help, you are my only hope. Thanks

  • How to install Photoshop CS6 Extended for Mac with no DVD drive?

    I have bought the Photoshop CS6 Extended for Students for my new Mac and realized that I don't have a DVD drive to install it on. Is there a way that I can install the program without the cd? I have looked into the "free trial then activate" route and Adobe no longer offers a free trial for Photoshop CS6 Extended.

  • Need help saving layer styles Photoshop CS6 Extended for Mac (Mountain Lion)

    I have been trying to learn Photoshop. I am using Photoshop CS6 Extended on a Macbook Pro (Mountain Lion). My Adobe software has been updated. I have been doing tutorials using a lot of layer styles. In one of these tutorials, it was suggested that if I would possibly want to use the style again that I should save it. At this point I had entered all my layer styles info and was still in the window with the list of layer styles on the left (bevel and emboss, drop shadow, etc., and the "New Style" button on the right. I clicked on the "New Style" button and when another window popped up asking me to name the style, I named it. When I looked at my styles in the styles panel, I saw the little button for the new style. I saved my graphic and closed it. Later I wanted to apply this style to text in another graphic. The style was used on text originally. When I clicked on it though the style didn't look the same. Upon investigation, a couple of setting under Bevel and Emboss had reverted to defaults. They were different numbers when I saved the style. I could go back in and change these two numbers and get the same results, but I don't understand why these numbers changed on their own -- why the style didn't completely "save." Is there something I have done wrong, or is this some kind of bug? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

    Thank you very much for your reply! Yes, both documents were at 72 resolution. This morning I tried to save yet another style (same resolution document). It worked when I used it the first time. Then I switched to the other style I had saved. That one took some of the bevel and emboss settings from this morning's style. The numbers which will not save are the angle and altitude under the shading section. Just now I made another document (text at 72 resolution) and both styles had changed these numbers to 120 and 30. Is this something I am doing wrong? I am trying to use text of a similar font and size. I updated my software last night in the hopes that that would help. This morning I reset preferences. Don't know what to do! Thanks for helping me!

  • Adobe won't validate serial numbers that I was given for Photoshop CS6 Extended on Mac.

    Adobe won't validate serial numbers that I was given for Photoshop CS6 Extended on Mac.  What should I do?  Calling won't work as I am deaf and I could not find any solution on internet to this.  I tried offline option and also reinstalling program but both of these would not still validate serial numbers that Adobe give me.  Any ideas?

    You can contact Adobe Support by online chat to help resolve serial number and activation issues.

  • Transferring Photoshop CS6 Extended for Windows Student Edition software from a Windows PC to a Mac

    I bought Photoshop CS6 Extended for Windows Student Edition for my PC online last year from Curry's PC World. I was told at the time of purchase that I would be able to transfer this software from my PC onto a Macbook. I have now purchased the Macbook and would like to transfer the software from my old Windows PC onto my new Macbook. Please could I have some assistance in doing so. Thank you!

    You didn't mention who told you you could transfer the software, but I suspect it was not anyone from Adobe.  Versions are platform specific so there is little chance of installing the Windows version on a Mac without the use of a Windows emulator of some kind.  Since it is CS6, you do have the option to apply for a platform swap.  See the following...
    Change product platform or language
    You can swap languages/platforms for a latest version product if you follow the instructions at the following link:

    Exmakkina I am sorry but it is only possible to request a platform swap for the current shipping version which is Creative Suite 6.  You can find more details at Order product | Platform, language swap.
    As a previous Creative Suite owner you also qualify for an upgrade price to the Creative Cloud.  You can find more details at https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud.html?promoid=KLXLR.

  • How can I use Photoshop CS6 Extended for windows on an iMac?

    I had an HP computer but it broke. I have an iMac now and my questions is if there is a way I can change my product to be able to use it in my new computer. maybe I need to pay a difference or something like that... Help!!! 

    You need to call Adobe and have them transfer your license to a Mac version.  With the current subscription plan, you can use it on either Win or Mac.

  • Photoshop CS6 Extended on Mac OS

    I can't get the CD software disk to open and install on my new 27" iMac.  I called Apple and they think it might be a problem with the disk.  I installed flash and reader off the internet and that did not solve the problem.  Any suggestions?

    You should be able to download the trial from the Adobe website and then use the license number you have. Then call Adobe customer service and get a new DVD.
