Problem Re-installing CS6 on a Mac.

I'm running OS 10.9.4 on a MacBook Pro and had to re-install the OS yesterday because something became corrupt. When launching an Adobe CS application, I get an error message that says to uninstall and then re-install the applications. Now that I am trying to reinstall CS6, I receive an error message that 'Initialization Failed." I've tried the remedies suggested like starting in SAFE MODE, but still no luck. Anybody have any suggestions?

Hi Joanne1952,
In addition to what Kglad suggested, Have you checked the permission on your Adobe Folders ? Initialization failed generally happens when either the installer is corrupt or we dont have enough permissions .
Adobe folders
/Library/Application Support/Adobe
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe

I deactivated my CS6 and uninstalled on my PC, so I could install CS6 on a Mac. I downloaded CS6 on my Mac, but when I try and put in my serial number it's is telling me that the number is invalid. What else can I do?

IIRC PS CS6 is not Cross platform. It takes a different license key code for each platform. A License key for Windows won't work on a Mac and a key for a Mac won't work on Windows. You'll need to buy another copy/License for Mac OS X.
At one time Adobe did allow you to switch platforms by paying them some money and getting a Mac license key code which I think then Deactivated the Windows license key.
IIRC the CC version does allow you to install on EITHER platform. But only one platform at a time. You can't have one copy on Windows and another on a Mac. Adobe does allow you to install on 2 computers with one license key but it must be on the same platform (Operating System) and both computers and or install of PS CC can't be used at the same time.

Trouble installing CS6 on my mac

Im having trouble installing CS6 onto my mac. I have tried each way a few times and it isnt downloading, it might get to half way and then it stops. Any ideas?

What Mac? What version of OSX? What are the specific errors. And clarify whether you actualyl alrteady have successfully downloaded and get stuck on installing or if it's the otehr way around. That false intermingling of terminology is really not helping.

A reproducible Spotlight problem after installing CS6

So, I am able to reproduce the following bug every single time I try it and I'm wondering if anybody else can do the same:   Installing CS6 Design and Web Premium renders Spotlight useless on new documents copied to the computer.   A rebuild of the Spotlight index is required post-installation to fix the problem.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Start with a clean install of Mac OSX 10.8.2 -- install any updates via Software Update.
2. Install Adobe CS6 Design and Web Premium -- the entire suite.   After the installation is done, run one of the apps to update everything CS6 related
3. After the installation is done, connect to a file server and copy some documents (Word, PDF, etc) to a folder on the desktop of the Mac
4.) Open the Folder and do a "find" for some content within the files (this would be using the built-in Spotlight feature of Mac OSX for content searching.)
Results:   NOTHING IS FOUND.
Expected results: results should be found from the contents of the files within the folder on the desktop.
Comments:
If I do all the above *without installing CS6* -- then Spotlight works to content search the files as expected.
If I do all the above (with the failed results), then rebuild the spotlight index -- then Spotlight appears to work.
However, I should not have to rebuild the Spotlight index after installing the CS6 Suite, so it's not clear to me why the installation of the CS6 Suite is "breaking" Spotlight.
I am able to reproduce this consistently.   We are in the process on Campus of trying to deploy a master image on thousands of Macintoshes here and I would like to open a dialog with somebody from Adobe about this problem to see if we can figure out what the core problem is here.

Can I install CS6 for both Mac and PC with same license?

I have made my first installation to Mac and it's visible in my purchases. I tried to download CS6 to my PC but it didn't accept the same product serial number.
How can I install CS6 to PC also?

You can't. Standalone serial numbers are platform specific. Only Creative Cloud is cross-platform.

Problems to install ical on my Mac with 10.6.8 leo

Hi, any one know why I cant install ical on my Mac? The machine says installation on this machine is not possible.Easy to say, but dont explain anything more...

Hi,
The correct version of iCal for OSX 10.6.8 will be on your installer DVD of the operating system.
See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/19535.html
You should then run the OSX 10.6.8 Combi update.
See http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399

I have a problem to install cs6, please help!

It said I have to close the Flash but I couldn't find it on my mac

Go to Utilities > Activity Monitor, and run it.
You will see all the running applications, processes, etc. Be careful not to end processes you don't understand, but look for "Flash" and then hit the "circle-X" icon at the page top, to force quit that process.
Now you should be able to install CS6.

I can't install cs6 on my mac

I get the same error when installing CS6 which is: can't start the installer.

You'll want to contact Adobe for help on this. I've installed Photoshop CS6 just fine on Mountain Lion.
