PS CS3 installation disc

Have just upgraded my mac from an intel G5 to the new imac.
My PS (CS3) disc will not install on to the new machine any tips to overcome this problem.
thanks

You're probably out of luck. The CS3 installer uses older system components that Apple long have removed from OSX.

Need replacement cs3 installation disc

I see others are in the same predicament - we've lost the installation disc for our CS3 design premium program and are hoping to find a copy, no longer available through Adobe. Any help would be most appreciated.

Bob Levine seems to be the helper of poor souls who have lost the CS3 disk. The company I work for has moved location - our precious CS3 discs were lost!!
We bought the full retail version: Design Premium CS3 Windows
Bob if you're reading this and you can help, this would be simply awesome!
I'm about to hop onto your site and follow it up with you... fingers crossed!

CS3 Installer asks for non-existent DVD drive

I'm running CS3 on Windows XP. I need to reinstall because I somehow lost codecs for Premiere Pro. Whenever I try to reinstall, the CS3 installer puts up an Installer Alert that asks me to insert CS3 Master Collection Disc 1 into drive G:\ to continue installation.
That sounds pretty simple, but there is no G: drive on my computer. My two DVD drives are D: and E:, and inserting the disc there has no effect. Checking the Windows device manager shows no G: device recognized anywhere on the computer.
I can only click OK, which returns the same alert, or Cancel to cancel the installation. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get the CS3 installer to ask for installation disks on an existing drive. What's particularly annoying is that the installer is running from a DVD in drive E:, so you'd think it would know to ask for further discs in drive E:. I've tried it as well from drive D:.
Any ideas for getting the installer to stop asking for discs in a non-existent drive?
I've toyed with the idea of completely uninstalling CS3, but am afraid that the installer still won't work, in which case I won't be able to get any work done using CS3 at all.
Thanks for any and all help,
Mike Boom

The 404 means you have not followed the Very Important Instructions on the prodesigntools page before clicking the download links.
The 7 steps are crucial for setting the correct cookies on your hard drive so that the Adobe servers will grant you access to the download files when you click the links.
So:
Go back to http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
Follow the Very Important Instructions (Step 0 to Step 6 = 7 Steps)
Then click the download links and they will work.

Photoshop CS3 installer

Hello,
I bought Photoshop CS3 a few months ago, but I lost the installer disc. I still have product key. I only need a link for Photoshop CS3 installer 30day trial, and then I can activate it. Could someone give me link to the Photoshop CS3 installer? (Not the extended version)
thanks

Obviously not from Adobe. It hasn't been available from Adobe since 2008.
If you registered it with Adobe, the serial and download link should be available by logging in to your Adobe account.
Try http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
If successful, KEEP A COPY locally for future use. No guarantee that these links will hang around forever.
Photoshop Std and Extended is the same file. Standard version or Extended will be unlocked when you enter your serial number.
The installer will recognize your serial as a Standard version and that's what'll be installed on your machine.

CS3 installation frustrations

This is frustrating.
I have Vista home premium 64bit.
I've had my CS3 design premium installed on this computer before, so I'm not sure what is different other than I just sent it back to the manufacturer to have the HD replaced.
I've done the jscript and vbscript, ran the installer as admin, after a 2 hour installation process, the only thing that gets installed is Acrobat and the flash encoder, neither of which work properly.
The rest is all failed components.
I have about 30+ hours into this.
Any other ideas?

I Just battled my CS3 installation on XP sp3 for weeks... but, alas, there is hope! I was logging on to call Adobe out on their HORRIBLE installer. Oh, if you contact them, they do not support CS3 anymore.   HA. They tell you that your PC may have a problem, or your disc... NOT THE PROBLEM. Okay, I guess I'll save the ranting for my own post (and a little at the end), but hopefully my advice will be some help for you.
After trying almost every suggestion I could find on here, some blessed soul offered this gem.   Install the products one by one... I know, and it will take 40-60 min per product, and it will always "repair" shared components (which after a while will be verify components), but everything installed for me except the auxiliary content for After Effects (3rd Party did install).   It was sketchy at first, but then started with Version Cue, and everything else fell in place. If you do happen to fail when installing a component, be sure to reinstall one that worked so the failure isn't the last attempt. Otherwise, at least for me, the products will not work due to some licensing failure.
Ok, so here's how you do it... Close the default window that pops up when you insert disc 1. . Then go to start, run, browse to the CS3 folder from the root of your DVD drive, then choose Setup.exe. It will go thru the prompt for serial number the first time, but after that it will allow you to choose which products to install without that prompt again. Click "deselect all" then choose one from the top pane. It worked, without copying all your files to the hard drive (HUGE waste of time), and without trudging thru the installer logs... For me this is the only thing that worked.
My original symptom was that the installer would hang or fail gracefully. I did not get any BSOD errors. Just failure. Oh yeah, they know about the problem. Doesn't matter that you spent 3K on their product (which I did download at time of purchase with DVD option) 3-4 years ago. If you want to re-install your product on the original PC, tough titty.   Buy the upgrade. Oh, you want replacement discs? Sorry... you must upgrade. AND ITS NOT THE DISCS YOU LIARS. Even though you and I and THOUSANDS OF OTHER HONEST PEOPLE bought their product with an understanding that it would be usable 3 years later. NOPE. Not supported. Not their problem. It’s your hardware or your DVD drive, or else you must have scratched your discs. PFFF, what a huge load of crap.
I'll leave you with this. Whoever is in charge of customer support at Adobe should be fired. I pray an innovative competitor comes along and pushes them out of the business. I hear that HTML 5 is going to make Flash obsolete... That's a start. Screw Adobe and their third-world support approach and their lack of regard for paying customers. They're despicable

You mean, Can I still run boot camp without Windows? because that is what you will have, one empty boot camp partition. Buy a copy of Windows 7.

Can emac installer discs be used to install OS 9.2.2 on Pismo G3?

I have a full set of original eMac installer discs, and want to use one set to install OS9.2.2 on an Apple Pismo G3.
Can this be done?
I've heard Apple OEM installer discs are "Mac machine specific", and can't be used to install OS software onto other
Apple Macs of a different model. But, I'm not sure if this is true, as there may be conflicting views on this subject.
The OEM eMac discs I have are as follows:
• Two (2) disc OEM set
   eMac OS X 10.4
   AHT version 2.5
   Disc version 1.1
   2Z691-5518-A
• Five (5) disc set:
   eMac OS X and Mac OS 9
   Mac OS version 9.2.2
   CD version 1.0
   691-3981-A
So the question is .... if OS X Tiger 10.4 has already been installed on the Pismo G3 .... can the above installer discs of (5) OS 9.2.2 be used to install OS 9.2.2 on the Pismo G3?
I would assume the Pismo G3 Hard drive would already have to have the OS9 drivers installed, during the OS 10.4 installation (showing an OS 9 "System Folder" on the HD, to be able to receive the OS 9.2.2 installer discs. I also understand that if installable, that the OS 9.2.2 would only open in the "Classic" mode.
Any information as to if the above eMac OS 9.2.2 installer discs can be used to install OS 9.2.2 on the Pismo G3 ... would be appreciated.
OR .... if other OS9.2.2 installer discs would be more appropiate, and if so, what model of Apple installer discs to use on the Pismo G3.

dalstott::
Below is the OS 9.2.2 "System Folder" that I was able to pull off the Number 1 - OEM eMac "Restore Sofware Disc".
It's obviously different than the first "System Folder" that I have, which I also showed above in a previous reply.
Since the above is off the eMac OS 9.2.2 installer disc, this is the one I think would be more appropiate for copy/dragging to the Pismo G3 Hard Drive.
Even though the Applications in the OS 9 Applications Folder are older, and probably not of much interest ... I also have the following "Applications (Mac OS 9)" folder, also taken off the eMac OS 9 installer disc. If I were to copy/drag this "Applications (Mac OS 9)" folder, to the Pismo G3 Hard Drive ... where do you think it should be placed? In the OS 9.2.2 "System Folder" ... or separately on the main Hard Drive, with all the other main folders?
Note: All these installer folders were "Invisable" disc folders, and only "viewable" using FileBuddy in Mountain Lion 10.8.5.

Start up problems, including from installation disc.

Hello everyone in the Apple ether, I need your help!
I have a powerpc based iMac G5 at home that I set up for my mum to use once I bought my macbook. I finally managed to win her over with talks of how much easier it would be for her to manage her photos in iPhoto, and everything was going really well. I recently came home after my final year at uni and some travelling to find that the computer is taking a long time to start up. This can be in both the grey apple loading screen but also once it logs in it can take a long time to display anything over than the desktop background, and even once it displays other items any attempt to open anything just results in a spinning wheel icon. At the worst case it has taken about 20 minutes to get going.
Once it has fully booted, the machine doesn't appear to be working any slower than normal. I tried using disk utility in mac OSX and verifying permissions etc and that didn't do anything. I then tried googling the problem and came across this article on the apple web site. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Starting in Safe Mode did not resolve the issue so after backing everything up I tried starting from the installation disc. This is not something I have ever done before and as someone that never really delves beneath the surface of her machines I was a bit scared of doing it. But I put the disc in and restarted and held down C just after I heard the chime, and shortly after it all went wrong. The screen went grey and all I could see was the image you get when it crashes (you know, the power sign with text over it saying you need to restart) with lines of code all down the left of the screen. I took a photo of the screen on my camera so can give details of the code if you need them. The last line said
Kernel version:
Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.3: Wed Oct 18 22:00:38 PDT 2006; root:xnu-792.15.4.obj-4/RELEASE_PPC
panic: We are hanging here...
After a few minutes on this screen the fan started working overtime and after about 5 minutes of that I just turned it off using the power button on the back. The machine has since started up normally (ie slowly) but is working fine.
So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas how to fix the slow start up problem without booting from my install disc, or indeed if anyone could suggest why I can't boot from my install disc? Thanks very much for your time and help.

It appears you experienced a kernel panic which is hardware related. A few suggestions for you to try:
Except for the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices from the computer & try the suggestions mentioned in the following:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106805 Mac OS X: "Broken folder" icon, prohibitory sign, or *kernel panic* when computer starts
User Tips: Kernel Panics
==============
Boot up from your Tiger or Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose *"Disk Utility"* from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the *"repair disk"* button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and run *repair permissions* from Disk Utility.
* If Disk Utility (from the install DVD or HD)is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

How much HD space is left on the iMac?
How much RAM is installed?

Need help in using mac installation disc

hi guys, my out of warranty macbook's hdd has died on me... so i went out to get a replacement 320GB sata drive, everything was working fine, and macbook detected the hdd, i am able to install my mac osx tiger using the recovery disc, but during the last portion of the installation of disc 2, it say there is a error installing this software it always happen at the same spot, when it's trying to install garageband.
is there something wrong with my macbook, or is it because of the installation disc, i'm at a very very lost state without my macbook T_T

Hello,
Since GarageBand requires 4.3 GB of drive space, check available space on the disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.
