Problems with Adobe CS2

Hello all-
I have a brand new mac that is less that a week old.
2 x 3 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon
2 GB 667 MHz DDR2.
I used migration assistant from my older G4, Mirrored door model.
I have had nothing but problems with Photoshop and InDesign.
They have been running slow and crashing nonstop.
I reinstalled twice and transferred the activation and I can't figure out what the problem is.
The only thing I can think of the there was a problem using Migration assistant?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kevin

Migration Assistant should be fine for data, but avoid like the plague for PPC applications (and support files and plug-ins).
MA = MolAsses - so your "hunch" is right on.
You WILL be in need of more RAM. Depending on the size of files and programs open, but figure if 14% boost to 3GHz over the 2.66, you must want to wring the most - 2GB is an okay minimum. 4 x 1GB straight from Apple, with 2 x 1GB on each Riser. You want to use both Risers, all four memory channels.
Luckily, disk speeds are pretty good and any backup/erase/restore should go quick (just add some nice 500GB drives to compliment the one it came with).

    Problems with Photoshop CS2
    I originally purchased this software several years ago. At time I was running Microsoft Windows XP.
    This computer recently was replaced with a Dell running Windows 8.I reloaded my CS2 on this computer & it ran fine with a few exceptions as follows;
    when the software comes up initially I get a message that says “could not complete your request because of program error”. Hitting OK allows me to continue using the software .
    When I try to activate a function using CTLR or ALT keys I get this message “required application failed to load and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application”. This causes the application to abort.
    Reloading my CS2 continues to generate the same messages when I depress the CTLR or ALT keys.

    Your original copy is obsolete and Adobe is offering a free replacement you are entitled to. Download and use that and that should clear it up for you.

  • "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. if it is running please exit and try again. (523.523)

    We are getting the following error "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. if it is running please exit and try again. (523.523)" and a gray screen appears (Image not viewable) with multiple users. We are using Adobe Reader XI (11.0.05) and (11.0.06). The current workaround is to log off the website and log back in. Once the user logs back in, the pdf will appear. However it occurs anywhere from 2-8 times in a day. Anyone else having this issue or know of another workaround? Any suggestion with how to fix? Please help!!

    Hi Valerie,
    Please let me know the version of Adobe Acrobat/Reader & operating system installed on your computer?
    Also, try this:-
    Launch Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
    From the menu, choose Edit -> preferences -> General
    Uncheck the option for "Enable Protected Mode at startup"
    Restart the Adobe Reader and web browser.

  • I have problem with adobe bridge cs6. Every time I open it Bridge tells me to Purge Cache. I have CS

    I have problem with adobe bridge cs6. Every time I open it Bridge tells me to Purge Cache. I have CS6 on two computers and it works fine on one of them. I have tried to reinstall it without succeeding to fix the problem. Does anyone have the same problem and a solution to it?
    "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation."

    You must have a Mac.  Try this.
    Quit Bridge, from user library (NOT system and root library) preferences folder find and delete the com.adobe.bridge5.plist file manual. Do this also in same user library caches folder (Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6) and inhere find and the folder called 'cache' and drag it to the trash.
    restart Bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences, then try again.

  • Problems with Adobe Speedgrade CS6 in Windows 7

    I am having problem with Adobe Speedgrade CS6 on my Windows 7 machine with the following specs:
    Windows 7 Ultimate SP1
    Gateway FX 6800-01e
    2.67 GHz i7 Quad-core processor
    16.0 GB RAM
    750GB primary hard drive (Seagate ST3750528AS)
    2 - 2TB secondary hotswap drives
    NVidia Quadro 4000 w 2GB dedicated RAM
    2 Acer 231SHL HD monitors running in extended dual screen mode
    Adobe Speedgrade 6.0.4x25
    It takes almost 3 minutes to open and when it does open it is slow to respond. After trying to troubleshoot it through driver updates, etc., I have done a totally clean reinstall of Windows 7, updated drivers where applicable, and disabled all malware and antivirus protection to rule out interference.  I have also tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it.  I have also applied the latest update through the program interface. The other components of the suite I have installed are:
    Premiere Pro CS6
    After Effect CS6
    Acrobat XI
    Audition
    Bridge
    Photoshop (32-bit and 64-bit versions)
    Lightroom 4.3
    Prelude
    The other components, including Premiere and After Effects open fine with no problem. I would appreciate any assistance with this problem that might be offered, as I am frustrated and stumped.  Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
    The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
    This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
    What can I do?
    thank you a lot.

    There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
    - Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
    - Adobe Reader (free)
    Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

  • Communication problem with Adobe 9.0 and HP Printer when I scan

    I'm having a problem getting a .pdf file to come up when I scan from a HP 5610 All-in-one printer. Have uninstalled and reinstalled HP software three times but when I scan and want a pdf file it won't communicate with Adobe 9.0 reader for some reason. Is there a setting in Adobe reader that's a problem?
    Thanks.

    Thanks...found out that an HP5610xi All-in-One will not completely communicate with Adobe 9.0   Had to go to Adobe 6.0

    May be that the HP software doesn't support Adobe Reader 9.

  • Problem with Adobe Premiere Elements 10 : error DW046

    Dear community members,
    I have bought Adobe Premiere Elements  10 and installed it from the DVDs on my MAC OSX10.5.8 on december 27, 2013
    When creating a new project , I get the following message :
    following a serious error, Premiere Elements 10 must stop
    Then I click OK and I get a new message :
    The Premiere 10 application has closed suddenly after having been rebooted
    Then I end up to the error report window. I have sent the error report  to Apple  ( I can send it to you if you want)
    I have also got the following error message :
    DW046 : following conflicting process were running, block : dynamiclinkmanager
    Notice : it seems this problem is occuring since I underwent a power failure while working on a project. When I want to open an existing project I get the following message :
    it seems that Premiere Elements has closed in an unexpected way during the last session. Do you want to open the previous project?
    When I say YES, I save it and it comes back to the welcome menu and I cannot see this project.
    I have tried to deinstall and reinstall Premiere 10 : this is impossible since I am required to deactivate dynamiclinkmanager that I cannot find.
    Notice that Adobe AIR is unable to find a solution whilst it recognizes there is a problem.
    Thanks you for your help

    AT Romano,
    The various links you have provided were very helpful. I could kill the dynamiclinkmanager.
    It seems that it is now working.
    Thank you, your reply was very quick and your advices very good

    When you get the message
    it seems that Premiere Elements has closed in an unexpected way during the last session. Do you want to open the previous project?
    Do you go to the last AutoSave to open that or do you go to the save location of the project file (project.prel) to open that file?
    Are you getting message to close the dynamiclinkmanager so that you can move forward?
    If so, please check out dynamiclinkmanager location in the following link

  • Problem with Adobe Premiere Elements 12 using Scary Halloween template

    I'm having a problem with Adobe Premiere Elements 12 using Scary Halloween template under Menu Theme.  My problem is the red line is default to Scenes.  I would like it to default to Play.  How can I do that? Is it a bug?
    Side Note:  Other template default to Play Movie
    Thanks

    jeffrey caban
    No bug. Just the way the .psd for the Scary Halloween template was put together.
    You are going to have to get into the .psd for the Scary Halloween template and rearrange the
    Layer Sets. Do you know how to do that? If not, I will give you very specific instructions on how to
    do that.
    You want the order of the Layer Sets to look like
    That is what worked for me just now to get the disc menu Preview to open to the main
    menu with the red highlight under Play.

  • Problem with adobe reader, commenting

    one of our authors is using adobe reader x 11,1, and I send him a pdf (enabled commenting and measuring), but for some reason the commenting-fields does not show on his screen?
    should I save the pdf in another way?

    What do you mean by "commenting fields" exactly? By “commenting filds” I mean the tools in top of the page – delete, highlight etc. When I send the pdf, I save it as “file - save as -  reader extended pdf – enable commenting and measuring”, otherwise the commenting tools normally don’t appear by the author.
    Are they existing comments? no, it is the text in his pdf-book he needs to correct
    Is he able to access the commenting tools? no
    You can try sending a non-enabled version since Reader 11 can add comments to a non-enabled document. will try that J
