Photoshop/Indesign cs2 install issues

Ok I just got my first Mac. The PC is six years old and slowly falling apart so I said why not spice it up a bit and get a Mac. Anyways...
I downloaded the trials of photoshop and indesign cs2 from Adobe. The installer starts and then starts to install, but it just quits after about ten seconds and says "please try installing again" both the photoshop and indesign (and i assume every other adobe install application) do this.
I read about the Version Cue issues, but that is not installed and that isn't an option in a custom install anyway.
This is kind of the reason I got the thing. Is a universal version coming out anytime soon?
Macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

A new UB version of Photoshop is expected @ spring 2007, since Photoshop is part of the Creative Suite, as is InDesign, I'd imagine Adobe will launch a UB Creative Suite around the same time, but when exactly in 2007, only Adobe can say.
Photoshop CS & CS2 installed without issue on my MBP, have to admit, I bought them on disc and didn't try the trial version - Problem could be the Adobe installer won't work properly under Rosetta on an IntelMac

CS2 Install Issues Please at least view

I am trying to install CS2 and I know the first answer will be to upgrade but at this point I can't, I will, but right now I can't. When I try a custom install for only photoshop, indesign and Illustrator it looks like it is trying to install the bar moves along then straight to the end says it was installed but nothing is there.
When I do a full install of the suite it shows as a normal install except these programs are still missing
This is on a xppro box nothing special about it
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

You need to run the cleanscript again.

InDesign CS2 printing issue with 10.6

I've just got my ir C2880 printing thanks to help on another thread but...
Printing from InDesign CS2 to this printer I am getting an error message:
Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem.
Any hints?

As others have stated - This is a problem with 10.6.5 overwriting boot.efi (Which PGP modified in 10.0.0 and above with pgpboot.efi).
This is a fairly easy fix, and was provided in the PDF cited above. For those that don't want to wait, here are the instructions provided:
*1. Insert your Mac OS X CD.*
*2. Boot to your Mac OS X CD.*
*3. Do not install Mac OS X; instead, from the Utility Menu, select "Terminal."*
*4. Type the following command: +diskutil list+*
You will need to note the disk identifier for the boot partition for your system disk. The boot partition is named "Boot OSX" and is the partition immediately following your system disk. For example, if your system disk is disk0s2, you should find a boot partition with the name "Boot OSX" with the identifier disk0s3.
*5. Type the following command: +diskutil mount <bootpartition>+*
*Where <bootpartition> is the disk identifier you learned from issuing the previous command. This will mount the boot partition for your system disk.*
Example:
Diskutil mount disk0s3
Note: You may need to take note of certain disk information during this
process, so PGP Corporation recommends having writing materials available
to you before you begin.
*6. Navigate to the CoreServices boot directory. This directory is located at the following path: +cd "/Volumes/Boot OSX/System/Library/CoreServices"+*
*7. Copy pgpboot.efi to boot.efi. To do this, type the following command:*
*+cp pgpboot.efi boot.efi+*
*8. Select Terminal > Quit Terminal.*
*9. Select Installer > Quit and choose to restart.*
You should now see the PGP passphrase prompt and if you successfully enter your passphrase, your system will boot correctly.

Photoshop CS2 install issues

I recently got a new laptop and am not able to install my CS2 software. I originally had it on two computers but tried to remove and deactivate it off my older laptop. The program was succesfully uninstalled but the deactivation was not. I was also getting an error message informing me that the software could not be installed because the activation server was not functioning. So I downloaded the "fix" from adobe.com and now it says my serial number is invalid. I am extremely frustrated becasue after talking to customer support I was told that Adobe no longer supports CS2. I am unable to purchase any newer versions and I really need to get this software installed. Is there anywhere I can get support for this????

towards the bottom of http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l it says:
Sign in using your Adobe ID and download your application. Note the serial number (it is on the same page). Successful installation requires this serial number.

Photoshop CS4 re install issue

Hi folks, I recently purchased a pre intel G5 power pc, that came fully loaded with all installation disks copied in various places. (ilife, CS4 suite etc.) I was having issues with my CS4 photoshop recognizing my Epson V300. After a few internet searches I was told that if I uninsall my ps, then reinstall it and located the "goodies" folder I could copy the twain resource and all would be well... so of course I uninstalled using the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium folder that I located in an Adobe Installers folder in my utilities folder. Now if I attempt to re install, it's not on the list of installs. any help out there? much thanks, I don't have the original disks as I purchased this loaded (supposedly with all installation items copied on the secondary drive)
much thanks
JMH

Did you specifically buy the Adobe Photoshop license (serial number) with that Mac system?
Or does the original user still have the media and serial number to use on their newer Mac (or did they use it to buy an upgrade)? If any of these are the case, you don't have a valid license for Photoshop and no one here is going to be able to help you.

Photoshop Elements 12 install issue [edited by host]

I purchased Photoshop Elements 12 on April 14 2014. I installed it on a PC that Crashed due to a defective Power Supply and Case. I have finally rebuilt the PC and have my Serial Number. How do I get it back on my machine? It is the same motherboard, BIOS, CPU and RAM with Win7 Pro 64 bit SP1 back up and running well. All of the other programs that I purchased at the same time were very easy to re-install. WHY IS ADOBE NOT?

I downloaded a 'trial' edition of Elements 12. When it installed it asked if it was a trial or if I had an activation code. I entered what I have and it completed installing. Running it the first time tells me I have 7 days to complete (can't remember other than login info.) Hope this works!

@s_ashok – you'll find the right methods and properties in the CHM file for InDesign CS2 at:
http://www.jongware.com/idjshelp.html
Just a few hints:
InDesign CS2 does not support GREP search/replace, so every line in your code that points to GREP does not work.
Further: "app.findTextPreferences" and "app.changeTextPreferences" were "app.findPreferences" and "app.changePreferences" in InDesign CS2. And then there were no "findChangeTextOptions" or any counterpart for that in CS2…
That should get you running…
I have no InDesign CS2 installed to debug, so this is all I can say…

Adobe Photoshop CS2 Installing Error

When I tried to Install for tryout version, it sometimes has an error. It says me to put the serial number in. Though it succeed it, it says like this : "Error 1311. Source file not found: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Photoshop_CS2_tryout\Photoshop CS2\Adobe(R) Photoshop(R) CS2\Data1.cab. Verify that the file exits and that you can access it.".
I verified that the file exits, and I could acces it. What is happening?!

Hi ,
We really apologize for all the inconvenience which has caused you.
Simply put it in another folder. The path is too long and unnecessarily convoluted - folders inside folders inside folders....
In the meanwhile if these steps doesnt resolve your issues you can contact Adobe support by following the link below:

Adobe Photoshop CS2 Install

I am attempting to install Adobe Photoshop CS2, I know it is an old version, but I am unable to upgrade at this time. However, I have the full version of Adobe Photoshop CS2, and when I run the install it states that it is looking for a previous version of Photoshop. I have verified that this is not an upgrade only cd. Please advise.

Thanks for trying to help out guys but after hours of toying with this thing it finally hit me like a brick wall. I found a work around.
For anyone that may run into this issue in the future:
When you run the Adobe Photoshop CS2 install and it will not let you install due to looking for previous versions
Install Adoby Photoshop CS2 as the 30 day trial, which will install without any issues.
After the installation is completed then ender the serial number manually after that.
Not sure why it has to be a PITA about it, but it works.

InDesign CS2 won't open: error msg states "Please install the MetaData plug-in and restart"

I'm unable to open my InDesign CS2 program, and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for me. When I try to open it, I get an error message stating: "Cannot load Adobe InDesign CS2 because it requires MetaData. Please install the MetaData plug-in and restart Adobe InDesign."
It worked just fine last week - I have no idea what happened this week... (other than my 3-yr-old 'playing' with my computer...) I am able to open other CS2 programs like Illustrator and Photoshop. Any ideas for me??

Try trashing your preferences: Hold down Shift + Control + Option + Command immediately after launch. You'll get a dialog asking if you want to delete your preferences. If no dialog comes up you didn't do it fast enough.

Links between Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign CS2 files

I create files in Photoshop CS2 and place them in InDesign CS2 files. Is there a way in Bridge (or elsewhere) to see which InDesign files a specific Photoshop file is linked to?
Your help is appreciated.
MJ

So far so good with CS2, but I have not had to time to really test it in depth.
Installed Leopard onto an external hard drive connected to my iMac. If I have problems I can always boot back into Tiger from the internal drive. Once I feel safe the CS2 works fine with Leopard I will install it on the internal drive. I also have a mirror backup of the internal drive on a different external drive than the one with Leopard installed, double backup for now.
PS: The newer versions FileMaker were reportedly not compatible. I am still using version 7.5 which seems to work fine under Leopard.
I am fixing to get ready to install Leopard on the G4 iBook. Doing a backup of that hard drive first.

That's okay , besides I got nothing to do lol hehehe atleast I can make myself useful for someone else hehe
1)Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and look for file named hosts inside etc folder.
2)Copy the hosts file to Desktop and open the same with notepad.
Check with the hosts file entries , let me know if there are any Adobe entries like 127.0.01 xxx.,adobe.com .activate.adobe.com....etc?
If there are no Adobe entries in Hosts file .
If you wish , you may uinstall and reinstall the app .
You may try below steps :
Open Control Panel and Navigate to Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features .
Under Program and Features list, locate Adobe Creative Cloud and uninstall it.
End all Adobe related Tasks from Task Manager.
Open C:drive and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe.
Open Adobe folder and delete folders named Adobe Application Manager and OOBE.
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe.
Open Adobe folder and if present delete Adobe Creative Cloud folder.
Press Windows button (located between Ctrl and Alt buttons) along with R button together at a time , you will get a run command window.
Type in below command and hit 'Enter' key.
appdata
Then navigate to Local>Adobe.
Open Adobe folder and delete folders named AAMUpdater and OOBE.
Click on the below link and download Creative Cloud setup file and use the same to install the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

Once the installation process is completed , sign in and check.
Still same issue ?? let me know

Font issue in Indesign CS2

Hi. I just received a new computer and although I have not had any issues with the Palatino Adobe font in the past, for some reason it no longer displays properly (pinked out). I have uninstalled the font through Adobe Type manager, checked my PS Font folder to make sure there are no Palatino fonts (either True Type, Open Type or Adobe) left in that folder and then reinstalled the font. I then rebooted my computer and although I went through these steps and the only Palatino font on my computer now is an Adobe one, In Design still cannot read the font. I then opened up MS Word, Photoshop, and Illustrator to see if I could access the Palatino font, and I had no issues at all. It seems it's only the In Design program that has an issue reading the font.
Any suggestions at all would be most welcomed because this is the main font that our company uses and my job depends on it.
Thanks,
Colourss

I had similar issue with Helvetica Medium and Bold fonts. All other variants of Helvetica were displayed nicely in Indesign CS2, but those two were missing. Indesign CS3 was able to display all the fonts correctly. I tried deleting the AdobeFntXX.lst files and uninstalling fonts, copying into different directories, but nothing helped with CS2. Finally I started tweaking the AdobeFntXX.lst file under Fonts folder in the Indesign CS2 installation directoty and got the Medium and Bold fonts working.
Here's what I did:
1. Removed problematic fonts from ATM and Windows fonts folder
2. Copied fonts into Fonts folder under CS2 installation directory
3. Deleted AdobeFntXX.lst file under Fonts directory
4. Started InDesign CS2, so new AdobeFntXX.lst file were generated
5. Edited the AdobeFntlstXX.lst file as follows:
For Helvetica bold font I replaced dash in the font name with whitespace:
FontName:Helvetica-Bold -> FontName:Helvetica Bold
For Helvetica Medium font I added text "Medium" to the font name:
FontName:Helvetica -> FontName:Helvetica Medium
After these changes InDesign CS2 started to display both fonts. I guess it has something to do with font familynames or something like that.
I know this is not exactly same case as yours, but hopefully it can help you to find the resolution.

Error Message after installing Photoshop & Illustrator (CS2) on new iMac

When I launch Illustrator or Photoshop (both CS2) on my new iMac 2.8 GHz, I get the error message: "Connection Failed. server may not exist or is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again."
I click OK and they open, but this behavior is getting OLD. I've uninstalled and re-installed and I continue to get the error every time I open these applications. It only happens with Illustrator and Photoshop. I'm in the process of transferring all my files and apps from my old G4 which is connected via ethernet. I've de-activated and removed the old copies on the G4. Does anyone know what is causing this error message and how I can remedy the situation? Thanks for your help.
(24" 2.*GHz Core 2 Duo iMac / OS 10.5.6 / 2 GB memory)

I've just done almost exactly this. Moved to a brand new imac runnning Leopard, (but I've got the newer model imac - 4Gb, 2.93 Ghz 10.5.6) and not yet bought CS4.
I installed both Illustrator and Photoshop CS2 from the disc (migrating didn't work, suprise suprise so I just wiped everything off and started with a clean install) but both still refused to start until I'd repaired permissions. After I did that it worked fine.
Even using Rosetta, Photoshop CS2 seems to be faster than on the G5 imac I've just replaced (especially using an external firewire 800 drive as a scratch disc). And no apparent bugs so far.

I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it.

I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it. Adobe no longer supports activation. Is there a way I can keep using CS2? I need to get files back and forth to my coauthor. I also have CS6. I understand that files can go form 2 to 6, but not backwards. Thanks Robert
