Problems Installing CS5 on a Mac

I don't mean to be annoying, but since no one took the time to help me last time, I'm going to repost this.  It would be nice if someone around here could explain what's going on.  I am extremely unhappy about this.
I recently installed Adobe Production Premium CS5 on my iMac.  Ever since doing so, all of my other programs (including Safari, Skype, DVD player, and various others) randomly close.  My computer randomly shuts off and logs me out, and sometimes doesn’t even make it to the desktop upon startup.  The only programs that are not currently malfunctioning are the Adobe programs.  I believe that these problems are being caused by the installation of the software.  I’ve updated my RAM and all the hardware to Adobe's recommended settings. Is there any way I can stop this?  It’s getting really frustrating (I had to reopen Safari three times just to type this).
EDIT: Now Adobe programs won't stay open, and I can't get any work done.

I am having the same issues, I am waititng for them(Adobe) to send me my third install disk, each of the privious desk's, installed yet crash when I try to open them up, very disappointed with Adobe products up top this point.Know let me say this I have clean up my computor  placed a ton of files into my external drives, I have a Mac Pro 10.6.5 with 16 gigs, four
external drives 1. 250 GB Lacey   2. 1.5 TB  Segates  1. Segate  2.0TB  - 2 inter HD 1. 1 TB and the main HD250GB..I work with a lot of photos and viedo, you know how much they eat up room on your drive.
I was told by Adobe that my machine may need to change the "case senitive" , SOME WHERE IN THE UTLITIES OR system preferance I do not know where. Yet I am not going to be changing or messing with anything on my computor just to install this CS5 especially afer reading your night mare story, by the way sorry to hear that.So one more try and then if it dose not work, money back request , as the Adobe soft ware is case senative, the tech told me.
So this is my story hope it helped or gave some usefull info.

  • Problems installing VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA_1_2_3.zip on Mac

    Problems installing VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA__2_3.zip on Mac? Preamble: st gen Vado HD
    macbook pro running OS X Snow leopard 0.6.2
    I'm having a tough time installing the Vado Central SW on my Mac. I tried installing VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA___0_df6, too. Similar results with both, I get a message "Installation failed."? This comes as no surprise since my mac never installs anything without prompting for an administrator login. So, I ignored the instructions to plug in the Vado after the installation was complete, and plugged it in and tried re-installing the software with the Vado as the installation destination.... which makes sense since it seems to run the Windows Vado Central from the Vado. VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA__2_3.zip would not let me select any device except the mac hard dri've.
    With VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA___0_df6 I was able to install change the install location to the Vado HD device. It appears to have created an applications folder containing Vado Central.app. But, now when I plug in the Vado, it still automatically starts iPhoto. If I browse the Vado and double click the Vado Central.app, OS X first prompts, asking me if I want to install the application to the local computer. Click "No", then I get prompted that Vado Central rquires the flv2ITunes transcorder downloaded and installed. Click "Yes", then I'm prompted that a newer version of Vado Central is available, "Do you want to download...", click "Yes". It downloads and installs somewhere, but apparently not on the Vado, because it puts me through all of this every time. Whatever/whereever the software is being updated, it's not changing the Vado Cental.app on the Vado, based on the timestamp.
    Can somebody provide the correct installation instructions? The minimal instructions on the Creative download page appear to be wrong. (I've looked at the other threads complaining about the mac installation, they don't seem to match my experience.)
    TIA

    I have a Vado HD 2nd generation. I use it exclusi'vely on my MacBook.
    The firmware version that my Vado came with is "v.250.
    I found out the version on my unit by holding down the Delete button
    while turning the unit on.
    Is it possible that your unit is not installing v.23 because your unit already has a later version?
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem Installing Air on 2 Macs

    I'm having a problem installing Air on 2 macs.  The symptoms are the same - the installer launches and nothing else happens.
    Configuration 1:
    Macbook Pro (Feb 2008); 2.5 GHz; MacOS 10.6.3
    Configuration 2:
    PowerMac G5; dual 2.5 GHz; MacOS 10.5.8
    Both computers have Design Premium CS3 installed, in case that matters.
    Here's the log off of the laptop:
    Performing runtime install
    UI SWF load is complete
    UI  initialized
    starting user confirmation
    Version of  this installer: 1.5.3.9130
    Installation type: new
    And there it stays.  The installer is running and I can choose Quit from its menu.  It looks like it's waiting for user authentication, but the dialog never appears.  Since the symptoms on both are the same, I'm guessing that whatever the cause is something common to both computers.  I've had no problems installing Flash or any other program.  This looks to be specific to Air.
    FWIW, I tried installing the beta of Air 2.0 hoping that might work.  No difference!  Here's that log (from Console):
    4/8/10 2:55:22 PM Adobe  AIR Installer[1488] Performing  runtime install
    4/8/10 2:55:22 PM Adobe AIR  Installer[1488] UI SWF load is complete

    4/8/10 2:55:22 PM Adobe AIR  Installer[1488] Installation  type: new
    The only difference is when I quit out the version 2 installer, a crash report is generated.  I can post that if anyone thinks it would help.
    Any suggestions?

  • Problem install PSE11 with a MAC OS disc on MACBook Air

    problem install PSE11 with a MAC OS disc on MACBook Air   I've done the serial number, adobe ID, Option and now install "installation Progess" with a message Please close all of the following applications to continue:  Adobe Bridge CS4, Photoshop Elements (Adobe Photoshop elements)  I've checked to insure those are closed. Yes they are close - press "continue" but nothing happen.  HELP!

    Look in Activity Monitor (Applications>Utilities) to see if there are any adobe processes still running somewhere in the background.
    (Incidentally, just in case you're a new switcher--closing the window doesn't normally close the program on a mac, unlike windows. You must still quit the program itself.)

  • Problem Installing CS5

    Hello there, I'm mac(macbook) OSX snow leopard user trying to complete installing photoshop CS5.
    Every time I install CS5 by adobe installer it seems to be done, but actually when I go to application folder and see CS5 icon it's broken.
    And when I click on the icon it says "The file is broken".
    So I deleted the installer and downloaded again then installed but didn't change anything.
    I've also tried safe mode, root user, but still it seems like something happens during installing process.
    I can't think of any solution by myself now, could anyone help me with this?

    Hi
    That's quite unusual problem and i am thinking the reasons that why it happened. The primary suspect seems to be a corrupt download. Can you please check md5 of your installer. On mac you can check it by typing  md5 "build path" on the terminal.
    Please let us know the md5 and i will see if it is the same of the build on the server. If, it is not download issue then i might need logs or in extreme case remote connection of your machine.
    Regards

  • Problems Installing Software on a Mac that is both Win and Mac compatible

    I am new to Mac. My kids have a bunch of games and some educational software on CD ROM. The software case's say the CDROM is compatible with both Windows and Mac. I have not had a problem installing them on my old PC but cant get either my iMac or Macbook to install the software.

    Check the exact version requirements on the box. Make sure it says OS X. If it only supports OS 9, then it won't work on Intel Macs (e.g. your MacBook and 2006 iMacs).
    Also, there are a few bizarrely-designed games that are OS X compatible, but the installer runs in OS 9. If that's the case, you'd need to install it on a PowerPC Mac, then copy the game folder onto your Intel Mac (using flash drive, CD, file sharing, etc)

  • Problems installing CS5.5 ~ Really need help.. Thank you.

    Operating system = WinXP
    Trying to install purchased CS5.5 Web Premium on completely clean machine recently reformatted.
    Installing from files downloaded from Adobe.
    I did a successful install of this last summer, but this time it's been a real pain.
    I am completely lost on what is wrong and I have customers waiting for web page fixes.
    1. I bought the CS5.5 Web Premium upgrade last summer. I had 4.0 on my system at the time. No problem installing 5.5.
    2. Yesterday I wiped my hard drive clean and now need to reinstall CS5.5. I do not have CS4.0 on my machine now.
    3. I downloaded my CS5.5 files from Adobe today.
    4. The installation instructions said:
    "Navigate to the directory containing the downloaded files.... Double-click the Set-up.exe file to begin the installation. In some cases, the Set-up.exe file may open
    automatically."
    Today, that magic did NOT happen. Nor had it happened last summer.
    So I tried to install the files anyhow.
    5. On my previous install I opened files individually when the magic didn't happen and it still went okay. But not today.
    Today I started with WebPremium_DesignPremium_CS5_5_Content_ALL.exe file. Can someone tell me if opening that file first was a mistake? And if so, what file should I have opened first?
    It opened but I can see nothing in my program files. So I tried the three other files with no success... Here are the error messages:
    WebPremium_DesignPremium_CS5_5_Content_ALL.exe - - - Which I already opened. No files can be found on my computer, but they must be there.
    WebPremium_CS5_5_LS1.exe - - - I get an error message that says it is not a valid Win32 application.
    Illustrator_15_1_Content_LS1.exe - - - This acts like it will open and download fine. I did not do it pending why the other files aren't working.
    WebPremium_CS5_5_LS1.7z - - - I try to open this and get an error message, "Windows cannot open the file..." and it wants to find it on the Internet.
    This worked fine last summer. Can someone help me? Do I need to reformat my whole computer again?
    You don't know how appreciated the answer would be. I would be most grateful. Thanks!!!
    BLee

    WebPremium_DesignPremium_CS5_5_Content_ALL.exe - - - Which I already opened. No files can be found on my computer, but they must be there.
    Probably not. That really is just the additional content and without a qualifying product install it won't do anything most likely since the directories it expects do not yet exist.
    WebPremium_CS5_5_LS1.exe - - - I get an error message that says it is not a valid Win32 application.
    Could be damaged, could be blocked. Anything from virus scanners to flakey drives. Could also be missing a critical system library. No way to tell from afar.
    WebPremium_CS5_5_LS1.7z - - - I try to open this and get an error message, "Windows cannot open the file..." and it wants to find it on the Internet.

  • Problems installing OSX Lion - new Mac Mini 2011

    Hi!
    I'm having major problem with my brand new Mac Mini.
    I wanted to upgrade it right away after reading so many succeful upgrading reports on various forums so I bought a 120GB Intel 320 SSD disk and 2x4 GB of Kingston 1333mhz ram. I swapped the drives right away and idiotically used to original drive in a case to create an external installation USB-drive (my 4GB USB drives didn't work).
    I then created a bootable USB-disk with the external original drive and tried to install but only get the circle with slash after selecting the drive in the "options" menu. If I remove the USB-drive I get a flashing folder icon. If start holding down Command + S I get a message saying that the "version of OSX is not supported on this platform".
    I also tried using the Recovery Assistant HD to create a bootable recovery tool but that gives the same results.
    In short:
    I can't install OSX Lion on a brand new Mac Mini with upgraded HD and Ram. I don't have the original installation anymore.
    Am I out of luck?

    Internet Recovery solved this problem. Option+Command+R.

  • Uninstalling old CS2 after installing CS5.5 on MAC

    Can you tell me if it is safe to uninstall an old version of CS2 after successfuly installing cs5.5 or did the cs5.5 build off of my CS2?

    You can uninstall it although it may cause problems with your file associations.

  • I can't install CS5 to my Mac

    Thank you!

    Can you please specify from where are you downloading the installers?

  • Problems installing CS5 from an external HDD

    I'm having issues installing CS5 on to my win 7 laptop.  CS5 was loaded onto my external HDD by the administrator at my workplace; when I attempted to install it, it seemed to be going fine until it asked me to 'insert disk 2' to continue.  I tried to mount the iso image file but the couple of programs I tried didn't allow me to do so.  CLONE DVD2 seemed to be working up to the point of burning the DVD but the file was too big to fit on a DVD.  Can I mount the ISO and open it without burning it, if so, using what software?

    IsoBuster, WinRAR, 7zip all can mount or open ISO images. The severity of your problem makes me think that the image is damaged, though, which could even mean that the original DVD was damaged and thus wrong CRC info ended up on the ISO...

  • Problem installing CS5 on Windows 7 laptop

    I have CS5 on my Windows 7 desktop. Now I want to install CS5 on my Windows 7 laptop. Since it's an upgrade, it won't install. I have a CS4 upgrade, and a full version of CS3. Do I need to install the full CS3 version first, then the CS4 upgrade, and then the CS5 upgrade?

    You can directly install the CS5 upgarde , no need to have the CS4 and CS3, all you need is serial Number of the CS4 to install the upgrade.
