Problem Installing CS on Mac Lion OS

I just upgraded to Mac Lion OS and can't install Creative Suite - I have CS2, CS3 Update and CS5 Update. I have to install CS2 to enable installing CS3/CS5 but CS2 is a powerPC app that Lion doesn't support. Is there a workaround for installing CS5 Update without having to install CS2 first?
Sorry - User malfunction - I didn't need CS2 installed on the system to allow installation of CS5 (that's how I'd always done it in the past - old habits...). Start installing CS5 (not CS2 which is the original qualifying product for the upgrades) and the CS5 installer will ask for the CS5 serial # then it will request the serial number of a qualifying product. It allowed CS3 but didn't have selection for CS2. The CS3 upgrade s/n was acceptable for installing CS5. After that, all of CS5 installed fine and all apps appear to be working correctly.

CS2 is not compatible with the Mac Lion. CS3 or later are compatible with Mac Lion but there are some known issue , please find the link for the same:- http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/known-issues-mac-os-10.html
Now to install the CS5 there is no need to install CS2 , CS3 , CS4 and so on , Just run the installation of CS5 and when asked for the previous version serial number put it in and your CS5 will be installed.

  • I found a fix for problems installing Air on Mac Lion OS

    I had Air installed which I needed to run this porgram You Select it which needs adobe flash and Air to run.. The other day the program would not open up.
    I tried a number of things could not get it to work. Deleted the program, and tried installing Air again, and Flash. Flash would install fine but not Air.
    I searched the WEB and found a forum which said if You install Firefox web browser and run it while you install Air it will work.. I did and got Air and my Program installed fine.
    I have no clue why that worked but it did.
    Craig

    Thanks - this strange solution worked for me too.  Shaking my head, just as I thought Flash was safely killed, Air pops up as the next Weirdo app

  • Problem installing Silverlight on Mac running Yosemite 10.10.2

    I've been using a streaming service successfully last year and re-signed up today.  When I tried to pick a video I was presented with a window indicating I needed to install silverlight and it provided a link.  To make a long story short I've tried
    installing silverlight (using the stream service's link which was the Microsoft download page) and using it with Firefox and Safari and get to response from the streaming site.  Checking Activity Monitor  all that appears installed is Silverlight
    preferences.  When I click on 'Microsoft Silverlight.app all it shows is a 52 bit alias. Each subsequent install I first removed EVERY file related to silverlight.  I'm stumped.  Thanks.

    Hi,
    Please make sure you are running a Silverlight-compatible operating system, browser:

  • I'm having problems installing fonts in MAC

    I have downloaded a free font.. is a .ttf file.. i double click the file the
    i click on INSTALL FONT (instalar tipo de letra) and then this windows appear
    but the new font is not there... i have search the font in the folder [User]/library/font
    and the new font is there when i double click appears the first windows again asking to install the font.
    I have installed many fonts before and i had no problem.. i dont understand why now i cant install any font..
    i think could be a problem with some permissions or something like that.
    Does anybody knows how i can fix this?

    3lii
    Yes, I ran into the same problem.  Mine is a fairly old (3 or 4 years) Mac Book, and I'm guessing that it came this way from the factory.  I don't think I have ever reformatted this hard drive.
    And when I opened up Disk Utility, it was not immediately clear how to enable the journaling, as Im used to selecting the pick list, and that was not budging.
    But under File there is a Enable Journaling option, and if you select the partition in Disk Utility, that option should become black and selectable.
    If you do that, then Journaling will start.
    Hope that helps.

  • Problem installing LR5 on mac os x mavericks

    Hi all
    Need help please
    I have un Mavericks on Mac Book Pro system.
    My processor is a Intel Core 2 duo
    I try to install LR5 on this. Anyway problem to fix software for 3 weeks.
    Here my hard drive configuration.
    Do you know this issue ? Which solution to access software ?
    Thanks everybody
    Aym.

    Lightroom does not install on case-sensitive file systems.
    The only official solution is to reformat your file system to be not-case sensitive and reinstall your computer from scratch.
    The installation used to be possible but had some problems in the map module which could be fixed easily. Now Adobe have changed it so you cannot install the software at all, which is much worse.

  • Problem installing CF on MAC

    Hello, I Am a newbie. I need help.
    I have a Mac G5 running 10.4.10 with 1.25 mb of ram. I also
    had php installed on my machine with phpmyadmin and mysql.
    The installation seemed to go fine but as soon as it finished
    and i went to the administration login pane. ( (?) The first panel
    that it brings up when it finishes installation) and logged in I
    got a screen that said 500 NULL. So I decided to reboot and go back
    tot that screen and this time when I tried to log in This is the
    screen:
    ColdFusion MX 7
    Configuration and Settings Migration Wizard
    ColdFusion MX 7 has been successfully installed. This wizard
    will guide you through the remaining server configuration steps
    and, if applicable, migrate settings from a previous version of
    ColdFusion.
    When I enter my password, this is what I get:
    A browser window with JRun Servlet Error
    And in the body of the browser:
    500 null
    At the present time, I use freelancers using PHP to build our
    applications for clients but would like to start to bring it
    in-house with CF.
    Can someone HELP???

  • Problems installing bootcamp on mac pro

    Hi guys,
    i am trying to install bootcamp on my mac pro, however i only get as far as partitioning and this seems to take hours with no progress on the progress bar.
    It just says 'status partioning disk'
    i am only doing it with 32gb as recommended yet i've tried twice and thought something was wrong after leaving it for 2/3 hours and nothing happening
    is this normal?

    While it makes sense to use the single drive in other Mac models, on Mac Pro.... I'd avoid using OS X and put it on another drive.
    32GB isn't recommended, just that if you want to use FAT you have to.
    Have you got a backup? have you run Disk Utility and Disk Warrior (or another 3rd party disk utility?).
    Should take 1 minute unless it runs into a bad sector; can't alter partition table or other error; there really isn't enough or large enough contiguous free space to create 32GB.

    That is correct you will want to begin with DVD #3.  Please feel free to respond to this thread if you run into any additional difficulties.

    Anyone have a thought as to why? Had the same result after closing all applications and after a restart with all applications closed.
    Cheers.

    Exit Code 7 is a fairly vague error message but you can try the steps listed at Errors "Exit Code: 6," "Exit Code: 7" | CS5, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/errors-exit-code-6-exit.html.
    I would recommend though reviewing your installation logs prior to beginning the troubleshooting process.  They likely contain additional information which can be utilized to determine the root cause of your difficulties.  You can find directions on how to review your install logs at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

  • Problem installing Safari 4

    I've tried installing Safari 4 and I get the following error:
    "The Installer could not install some files in "/". Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    I have tried installing through software update and I've also downloaded the Safari installer and tried to install that way. I have also had a problem installing JavaForMacOSX10.5Update4, with the same error.
    I tried Disk Utility, thinking it was a permissions issue, but I get the error message:
    "First Aid Failed
    Disk Utility stopped repairing permissions on "MACHD" because the following error was encountered:
    The underlying task reported failure on exit."
    Also, in the Disk Utility information area at the bottom of the window, the Mount Point just shows a "/". I'm not sure what that means but when I click on my other partition I get more directory info.
    I didn't have a problem installing the latest Mac OS X update or any other updates. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

    Make sure that you used the Repair Disk button & not either of the permissions buttons when running Disk Utility. (If it is grayed out, you either haven't started up from the DVD or haven't selected your startup volume on your internal hard drive from the list one the left.)
    Also, the repair cannot give you the same error, since it doesn't install anything. I suggest that you try again, being careful to start up from the DVD, to select Disk Utility from the "Utilities" menu as soon as the menu bar appears at the top of the screen, to run the disk repair on your startup volume, & to take careful note of any errors that result.
    If any of this doesn't match what you see when you try to use Disk Utility in this way, please describe what you do see.

  • OSX Mac Lion Laptop, Lightroom 4

    In light room on the right panel.  My hard drive is saying I have 97 pictures more than I have in >pictures>My Lightroom Pictures folder that I made for photos.  How do I compare pictures when they are not showing up in the finder?

    First I recommend not using FileVault until your system is otherwise operational.
    If you completely erased your system, formatted the disk as Mac OS Extenced (Journaled), then installed OS X using OS X Recovery, it will reinstall the system that was originally installed on your Mac - Lion, or Mountain Lion, whichever it was.
    After it finishes installing OS X, complete the initial setup and log in. Then, run Software Update and install the updates available for your system. If Software Update reports errors then please explain them in detail.
    After that, if the system installed is Lion, and you wish to upgrade it to your previously purchased Mountain Lion, go to the App Store, select the Purchases tab, download, and install it.
    Only after all this should you enable File Vault.
    To be honest I don't even know which disks am reinstalling on. The top,one or the MACINTSH HD one. Is the latter the restore one? And is the former the one I am using?
    Neither do I. To avoid confusion, eject the volumes you are not using. Then you'll know.

  • Problems installing Java JRE 7 on Mac OS Lion

    I have problems installing jre-7u6 on Mac OS Lion 10.7.4. Downloaded the latest version for this OS from the following link http://jdk7.java.net/download.html.
    Installation is normally and correctly. But when I try to see in the terminal with the command "java -version" still shows the old version, the new version is not installed.
    Somebody can help me?

    You're reasoning it the wrong way around dude. You should find a mac forum to ask this. The reason is very simple - you need mac users which have run into this before and know how to fix it. Where are you likely to find them?
    Well there are likely SOME mac users here, but not as many as on a mac forum...

  • Hi, After I installed Mac Lion, I have problem with the tamil font while typing in Neo Office. Especially with the letters "e-Ex: தெ" and "ai-Ex:தை". Please help me I know its not bug from Apple It shd be some problem in neo.

    Hi, After I installed Mac Lion, I have problem with the tamil font while typing in Neo Office. Especially with the letters "e-Ex: தெ" and "ai-Ex:தை". Please help me I know its not bug from Apple It shd be some problem in neo.

    Is your problem due to the keyboard or to NeoOffice Characters? You have to change probably the font. Not all fonts are supporting all Unicode sets. Which font you have in your NeoOffice set to write Tamil? Try with Arial Unicode MS for example.
    Are the letter e-Ex and ai-Ex right in your posting? If they are right, how you inserted these letters in your posting? By copy and paste or by typing? If by typing, your question is related to NeoOffice. Probably you should reinstall or update NeoOffice? Or switch to OpenOffice?
