Photoshop CS6 trial installation freezes my Macbook Pro

Hey all, a question here for you.
I have a 2.4Ghz Macbook Pro with 4GB or RAM running 10.7.4. Whenever I try to install the Photoshop CS6 (or any other trial for that matter), the install stops halfway through and freezes my computer.
I've made sure that I uninstalled all of my other CS5.5 stuff and even downloaded the Adobe Cleaner to clean my system out. I even went through AppZapper to get rid of all other CS5.5 stuff too and yet this still happens to me.
Any idea what's going on?

Hi Chaps
I had the same issues as most of you I have both a 27'' and a macbook pro 17''.
I Rang adobe support and the only thing I got out of it was being disconnected all of the time.
I had no issues installing on my 27'' but I had freezing on my macbook pro so I read all the ways you tried to install cs6 and this is the method I got ps6 installed.
my config for macbook pro is the icore 7 and 8 gig ram
1. I unistaled photoshop previous versions and any left over folders associated with photoshop I deleted.
2 I went in to disk utility and turned of under preferences ""verify checksum"
3 I put my mac into safeboot mode and I had no issue instaslling ps cs6
4.rebooted my back and turned on verify checksum in disk utility preferences.
I hope this helps you out I have only just converted over to mac so I am not that technical with them yet.
Good luck and looking forward to hearing that what I did helped you
Cheers

  • Photoshop Cs6 (TRIAL) - Installation failed - Encountered Errors.

    Hi, Sorry I don't know if this question has been asked yet, so I'll have to ask.
    Everytime I have tried to install the Photoshop CS6 trial, it says that my installation has failed and that it has encountered errors. Below is what my error report says.
    Exit Code: 15  -------------------------------------- Summary -------------------------------------- - 0 fatal error(s), 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)    ERROR: Media DB Error : 12  
    So, I'm not understanding what the error is.
    I know I meet the system requirements because I'm running:
    Microsoft Windows 7 (Home Premium)
    4 GB RAM
    585 GBs of Hard Drive.
    It says 86x bit? I think?
    I'm pretty sure that I have those met.
    Other than that, I'm just not understanding why this isn't working.
    Adobe Download Assist is installed just fine.
    Hope someone can help!

    Did you have the Photoshop Beta installed? If yes, then you need to uninstall that one before you can install the trial.
    Does your account have sufficient privileges? If not, you might need to log in as Admin.
    Run the install again.
    If the error recurs, then run CS Cleaner Tool and remove all products.
    Reinstalling after that, should resolve the problem. Get the Cleaner tool here: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    Let us know how it goes.

  • How well does Photoshop Cs6 run on the 15" Macbook Pro with 2.6gHz?

    I'm currently 'in the market' for a new computer. My desktop is fine, but no longer can handle all the tasks I can toss at it for work (i.e. graphic design). I have been carefully biding my time, getting as much use out of it and my essentially crummy Paint Shop Photo x2, and I believe now for it to be the time to invest in a Mac and the newest edition of Photoshop (CS6). My question is this: Which one of the two Macbook Pro 15" will work best with it, and yet still survive through the next few series of upgrades? My boyfriend says the higher one, the 2.6gHz guy, will do just fine for what I need, I'm just chewing my nails off at the price. And no, I'm not interested in the retina display model. Suggesting it is just pointless.
    Basically, I'd like to know which Macbook Pro 15", the one with 2.3gHz or 2.6gHz, will suffice for the jobs I need to do, which include all areas of graphic design and artwork (hence Photoshop), along with heavy internet usage (7-9+ tabs open at any time), Word documents or the equivalent (Pages) and any extras (iTunes, Spotify). Bonus if it can gently tolerate things such as the Sims 3 and all its expansion packs.

    The nice thing about the 2.6GHz model is that it comes with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory. The 2.3GHz model only has the NVIDEO GeForuce GT 650M with 512MB of GDDR5 memory. And Photoshop will take advantage of that extra video RAM.
    That said, I have an older (late 2011) 15" MBP with a 512MB video card and Photoshop CS6 (and the entire Adobe Design & Web Premium suite) works just fine. If I were you, I would buy the base 2.3GHz model with 4GB of RAM and upgrade the RAM, and possible the hard drive with a SSD, as you need it. You can upgrade your RAM yourself to 16GB and you will notice an appreciable difference in Photoshop speed. And I would recommend the RAM upgrade straightaway. You can then look at putting in a 512GB SSD for around $400 and you'll have one of the fastest machines around.
    So go with the 2.3GHz and upgrade the RAM immediately. Good sources for RAM are Crucial, Corsair, etc. You'll get far more out of a RAM upgrade than you will the processor upgrade.

  • Photoshop CS6 will not launch on MacBook Pro. Adobe icon appears then disappears.

    On a macbook pro.photoshop will not open. i've tried everything all that happens is an adobe icon appears and then quickly disappears. i have photoshop cs6 suite for a little over a year now. no problems until today. please help - i have a project due tomorrow.

    Hello:
    I am sorry but I am a Windows user and so I am not sure I can help you. I do not know if you have enough time before your project is due but if you do not get an answer here you may want to just call Adobe. They have techs that can walk you through everything. They can take over your computer and fix it for you. They have done this for me many times when I have had problems and I have always been helped.
    I do not know if Mac is the same but have you tried going to your Program Files? Like... your C drive > whatever > whatever > program files? and then right + click to open it from there ...?? does Mac have something similar??
    I totally wish that I could help you more than this!! Best of luck and I really do hope you can get your project done or an extension!!

  • Trying to install photoshop CS6 trial, installer initializes then dissapears

    I'm trying to install the photoshop CS6 extended version trial, and when I start the installer, it opens the initializer, the bar fills, then it dissapears and nothing happens. I'm recently upgraded to windows 8.1, the trial used to work fine on windows 7.

    CaseyF are you attempting to use the same trial which was installed prior to upgrading to Windows 8.1?  If so, and assuming the trial is not expired, then I would recommend reviewing your PDApp.log for the specific error causing the installer to fail to initialize.  Please see Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html for information on how to locate and interpret the PDApp.log.  You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover in the log to this discussion.

  • Photoshop CS6 Trial "Installer Failed To Initialize" on Vista. Please help I have read other posts!

    I've read through countless posts on different sites and still can't find a fix to this. I've been having a hard time trying to figure out what advice actually applies to me.  After extracting all the files and I run the setup I get about 75% through before I get the Installer failed to initialize message. After looking at the PDapp data It seems clear what the problem is, but I have no idea how to fix it. The fatal/error messages are as follows:
    [FATAL] Setup - Adobe Application Manager executable does not exist at the location: C:\Users\Tanner\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\PDApp.exe
    [FATAL] Setup - Unable to launch PDApp. File missing
    [ERROR] Setup - Error in deleting folder C:\Users\Tanner\AppData\Local\Adobe. Error Code:145
    Please, any help would be great.

    first thing to do is to re-download ps cs6 in case your dl was corrupted.
    if you have no other cs6 programs installed, run the cleaner before trying to re-install:  http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

  • Installer freezes on Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Creative Cloud on my MacbookPro on OSX 10.7.5, downloaded the installer, started it but nothing happens. Frozen with a window saying "Initializing installer".
    I have killed the process but it would not launch again. I have rebooted and launched it again: same frozen window "Initializing installer".
    Help!
    Kind regards

  • I have Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom on my MacBook Pro laptop. I bought an iMac and I'd like to move my installations to the larger display desktop for editing purposes. How can I go about transferring them?

    I have Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom on my MacBook Pro laptop. I bought an iMac and I'd like to move my installations to the larger display desktop for editing purposes. How can I go about transferring them?

    I have the same question. It seems that Adobe is almost impossible to contact (I ended up here at the forums to ask the same question).
    I will never buy another Adobe product again if I can get another program to replace it. If this is customer service then it is NON EXISTENT!
    I notice that your question has not been answered and why should you have to get the information from a forum? I know of no other company that makes you do this for simple product information.
    NOT HAPPY with this version of arrogant customer service (nor am I happy about renting Photoshop products into the future - it is just a money grab in my opinion). I will be voting with my feet and going elsewhere in future.

  • CS6 install fails on Retina Macbook Pro

    CS6 install fails on Retina Macbook Pro (10.8.2)
    I downloaded the CS6 Design and Web Premium trial and attempted to install. It downloaded fine and I can open the .dmg file, but the instant I click the Install application I get the error message "Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem." I did as it said but it detected nothing. I deleted the trial and downloaded the Master Collection CS6 trial to see if the result was any different.... it wasn't. Got the same error message. I looked though other forums and tried their methods to fix this but I have had no luck. Time is kind of, of the essence. Start school in a few days and a Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator class is difficult without Photoshop, InDesign or Illustrator.
    Anybody know what to do?
    -Dylan

    I did try a new account and it failed.
    I seem to have found a workaround. I used the application manager linked HERE and my issues have been resolved. I was able to install all of the CS6 programs with that Manager. Must have been giving me corrupt files or the manager itself was corrupt.
    Everything downloaded, installed, and updated perfectly. All I did was make sure I had every trace of previous attempts deleted off my computer then downloaded the app manager.
    Very weird fix but I'm happy it worked. Thanks.

  • Having trouble downloading photoshop CS6 trial

    I have a Macbook Pro and I am trying to download the Photoshop CS6 trial and the Flash CS6 trial to my computer, since the CC versions are not compatible with my system. So I went to this link, which I saw mentioned a few times in the Adobe forums:
    http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html
    I follow all the instructions but when I go to download the file, the download bar on the file doesn't move. It's like it's stuck at 1% and won't download any further. Am I doing something wrong? I have the system requirements for CS6, so I'm not sure why it's doing this.

    Hi Jamie, you're on the right track but if you're having any problems accessing the CS6 direct links then try downloading using a different web browser, computer, or Internet connection...  Avoid wireless or Wi-Fi as it can be slower and less reliable than a wired connection.

  • Is there any way I can download Adobe Photoshop CS6 trial version with my processor?

    Hi, I do need to work on something with photoshop. I downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS6 trial version, the installation was fine, but
    when I clicked on photoshop icon, a massage comes up, saying "You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS6, becase it is not supported on
    this type of Mac"
    I found information from here: http://www.adobe.com/au/products/photoshop/tech-specs.edu.html
    Photoshop CS6 requires multicore intel processor with 64-bit support,
    I guess mine isn't enough for this? I am using
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    processor 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo
    Memory 2 GB 667 MHZ DDR2 SDRAM
    I tried to download another versions but, 10.6.8 only goes with CS6.
    So is there any way I can get photoshop in this situation?? I really need to do something by using it!!!!

    Not the most helpful error message from the installer?  No details on why the system was rejected?  That's something I'd consider to be some amateur-level programming in the installer.
    You don't have a 64-bit processor.  Intel Core series is 32-bit.  Intel Core 2 series (and later) is 64-bit.
    Depending on what you're looking to do, try Acorn from Flying Meat?

  • Photoshop CS6 trial not downloading

    I recently downloaded a free trial of Creative Cloud. When I open Adobe Application Manager, I've been able to download/open/"try" Premiere Pro CS6, but when click "Try" in order to download a Photoshop CS6 trial, it automatically says "Download error. Please Retry or contact customer support. (302)". How can I get the Photoshop CS6 trial/download to work?
