i downloaded this straight from adobes website.

"please insert CS3 Master CD" when attempting to install.

I already had the CS3 Master Suite Installed. I ran installation again to add the Encore application and about 1/4 of the way thru I got the error message to "please insert CS3 Master CD" into the drive to continue installation. However, the CD is in the drive. I made the mistake of removing the entire suite, running an Adobe clean up tool, and then attempting to reinstall. Now i get the same message and can't install the suite back on the pc.
ANy thoughts?

Hi. Thanks for the replies. It's not a bad drive, as I have had no issues using it in any other capacity. Also, I am trying from the same exact drive as before. I have looked around and this seems to be a known error...but no known resolution as far as I can tell...

Please insert adobe after effects cs4 into drive G:\ to continue installation

Why show message that "please insert adobe after effects cs4 into drive G:\ to continue installation" while installing Adobe After effects cs4? How to do it? My computer OS is windows 7 (32bit). Who can help me?

There's not much to go on here but it sounds like you are installing from a set of disks and you need to insert the next one.
If that is not the case please give us some systme info so we can help.

No disc in the drive. Please install disc into drive E.

I have contacted your customer tech service via chat. They worked with me for three hours today and passed me off to the forums because they couldn't speak English and couldn't figure out the answer to my problem, even after taking control of my computer.
What my problem is, is that I just bought both photoshop and Premiere elements 13. Photoshop seems to work fine.
When I click on Premiere Elements 13 I get an error box that reads: There is no disc in the drive. Please insert disc into drive E.
Adobe chat support seemed to think it was enough that the program was installed correctly. They couldn't figure out how to get rid of the dang error box that disappears after 7 to 10 clicks anywhere on the box. This error box pops up when I enter the program or leave it. Its appearance every time I use the program or leave the program is annoying and unacceptable as we will be opening and closing the program constantly.
I have completely taken off my antivirus program so it wouldn't be a factor in this. I have reinstalled the program about ten times literally, including one tedious download from your website. The error message still continues to pop up.
I am running Windows 8 on a brand new computer. 16 GB RAM with 64 bit processor.
Hope you can help because I am very annoyed after six hours of this irritation.

Sorry I meant that I have a 64 bit operating system and the processor is Intel Core i7-337CPU @3.40GHz 3.90Ghz

CS3 Master collection updates - where can I find them?

I own the CS3 master collection
Last week my hard drive crashed and I had to reinstall all my software which has taken me over a week! Unlike every other software manufacturer website I visited adobe seems to have no download portal for legacy products! I'm assuming they must have it somewhere but I don't know where.
Not only would I like to know how to find these updates since the automatic update functionality no longer works and the original package included many bugs which were fixed in these updates - but I'd like to suggest that Adobe conform to the rest of the software world and make this kind of thing easy to find. As a result of not making this easy - instead of doing the work I should be - I'm spending time on the phone, in chat rooms and on this forum all because I ran into one of the original bugs this morning (the indexing function in In Design v5.0)
I now know that Adobe only supports their current version and the previous one - so if you are a CS4 user you should probably archive whatever updates you've installed because once CS6 comes out - you'll be going through the same thing I am.
Please help if you can

I am unsure if you are using Windows or Macintosh but I do see the updates as being available under Product updates in our Download section.
Creative Suite for Windows - http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/collection.jsp?collID=1&platform=Windows
Creative Suite for Macintosh - http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/collection.jsp?collID=1&platform=Macintosh
It looks like we have updates all the way back to the original Creative Suite. The Creative Suite 3 updates are about midway down the page.

Adobe CS3 Master Collection Content...Help! Where does it go?

Hello,
I just installed Adobe CS3 Master Collection on my G4 PowerBook, and with the install discs there is a CONTENT disc which contains a folder called GOODIES with content like photos, fonts, clip art etc. Basically all the files i need to use the programs.
Can someone tell me where these are supposed to go? Do I drag them somewhere?
Thanks

It doesn't make a bit of difference where you put them. Just copy them all into a folder anywhere on your hard drive.

CS3 Master collection installation problem on Windows 7 64 bit

Hi Guys
Please can you advise
I am encountering problems with the installation of CS3 Master Collection on Windows 7 64 bit, initially my hard drive crashed and performed a dump.
Subsequent attempts to install CS 3 has resulted in failure to install 12 components, essentially the individual software products including photoshop, encore, illustrator etc.
I have re-performed the installation several times with the same installation error.
I believe CS3 to be compatible with Windows 7 64 bit
Any thoughts, guidance on how to rectify the problem and achieve successful installation.
I do have Adobe Reader X and Flash player X already installed. I assume these should not cause an issue with the CS3 installation
Thxs in anticipation

Na, you have it all backwards. CS3 is neithe officially tested nor endorsed, certified or supported on W7. Many users still use it succsfully, but there ae no guarantees whatsoever. Furthermore using Acrobat X ma exactly be the problem due to certain PDF components being shared acoss apps and newer versions not being compatible with the old installer. Therefore removing those parts and reinstlling them later is advisable. Beyond hee's a procedure that should work:
- use the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool
- install CS3
- uninstall CS3 via the Add or Remove Programs system control panel
- install CS3 again
This convoluted procedure is necessary due to bugs in the installer which otherwise prevent things from working.

How do you install the content for CS3 master collection?

I have installed Adobe CS3 Master Collection on my Mac.
All the software is loaded and ready to go. There is an extra
disc that says "content." When I pop it in I'm not prompted to
do anything. How do I get the "content" to load up? Do I drag
all of the items onto my boot drive? If so, which folder? Documents?

The content disk is just a collection of extra stuff for you to peruse. There's a whole bunch of free PostScript OpenType fonts, documentation for all of the applications in PDF format, some help files (like migrating from Go Live to Dreamweaver). Just open the disk and look though it.

Installing cs3 master collection and cs5 production premium on windows 7 machine

I have a windows 7 ultimate machine that I would like to install CS3 Master Collection on. I would then like to upgrade the Production Premium programs to CS5.
I have the install discs for both. Any suggestions for how to go about doing this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Tahseen,
Thanks for the quick reply!
Both CS3 Master Collection and CS5 Production Premium are full installs, neither is an upgrade. I have serial numbers for both.
Machine previously had CS4 Production Premium installed on it, that has been uninstalled.
Should I install CS3 Master Collection then install CS5 Production Premium? If so, do I need to remove the CS3 versions of programs included in Production Premium before installing CS5 Production Premium?
Thanks again!

Is the any place can down load a copy of CS3 Master collection disk 1

Is the any place can down load a copy of CS3 Master Collection disk 1.
I bought Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection.
it has never been registered.
It ALL INSTALLS OK, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ILLUSTRATOR.
I was told to go to your fttp site I did so and it is funny but you have the creative suite there for CS, CS2, CS4, CS5 and CS5.5 but not CS3.
There is Illustrator CS3 there but not sure if that will work with the Master Suite and the Master Suite serial number.

Please go through the mentioned link and download the CS3 Master Collection: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html

Java Script Error in downloading CS3 Master Collection

I just bought a new MacBook Pro and I went to download my CS3 Master Collection. In the middle of downloading Disc 1 I got a kernel telling my to push the power button until the computer shuts off and turn it on again. Then when I tried to redownload Disc 1 it gives me an error message. "Java Script Error and says to download using the original media, but I AM using the ORIGINAL MEDIA. Anyone ever have this problem? I already tried pulling out the partial download from applications but it did not help. I cannot use my CS3 Master Collection now unless I figure out how to fix this problem.

Can't re-install CS3 master collection.

Im having problems reinstalling CS3 master collection, Im not sure why? (What happend before the problem) It says that it is not working and telling me to uninstall then reinstall it, so I uninstall and started having problems re installing it. What happens is it says its installing then installs some programs but none of the main ones i need. It installs acrobat 8 and some others but thats it, then it says the rest fails. I've monitored it while it was installing and for the most part it just says installing shared components until the very end of the process.
Has anyone ever had this problem? or anything similar? Please help me.

Did you get this resolved? I am having the exact same problem and technical support will not assist me over the phone since it is an older version of CS. Thanks.

Framemaker 9 and CS3 Master Collection compatibility?

Hi everyone,
I am looking at demo-ing FM9 with a view to buying it if it suits my needs. The only thing holding me back at the moment is that I already have CS3 Master Collection (including Acrobat 8) on my system (and I'm not upgrading that...).
I know from previous experience that Adobe products of different 'generations' don't always play nicely together, so wanted to ask before I download if there will be any compatibility issues (especially concerning Acrobat - does FM9 install the Adobe Acrobat 9 printer driver, as the RoboHelp demo tried to? Will that cause any issues with Acrobat 8?)?
Many thanks,
Martin Hughes

Yeah, it'll try to install a newer version of Distiller. However, it does prompt you -- so don't do it.
Also, be sure you download the FM patches -- the automatic update may or may not work.
Also, if you're running XP, it's a good idea to install the MS PostScript hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=952909
-- it applies to all PS printers, including the logical PDF.

Problems installing CS3 master collection

So i just received Adobe CS3 Master Collection and was trying to install it on my MBP. After it installed the first disc, i would get a black window that said installer alert. I went to adobe webpage and they told me it was because i had the safari 3 public beta installed and that I needed to remove it. i wasnt entirely sure how to do this so I just dragged it to the trash and emptied it. then i put in my tiger os x dvd and reinstalled safari 2.whatever. after clearing out the old partial install of CS3, i tried again but i got the same crap with the blank window. did i really uninstall safari 3.0 or is there more i need to do? this is really annoying and want to get to using my new software

You can't just delete the Safari 3 Beta. You must use the uninstaller found on the .dmg file.
Download it again, if deleted, or install it again to run the uninstaller.
It will restore Safari 2.0.4

Please insert cs3 master collection disc 1 into drive
