Reinstall problem with CS3. HELP!!

Hi there
I can't open my photoshop so thought i'd reinstall from my creative suite (CS3).
After a little while it ejects the disc and asks for 'Please insert Adobe Flash CS4 Professional to continue installation'..... but i don't have Adobe Flash CS4 Professional discs...never have. Any ideas??

Hi, strange as it seems, it's common!?

Issue
When you reinstall an AdobeCreative Suite 3 application you receive the error message, "Please insert Adobe [application] CS4 to continue installation."
On Mac OS:
1. Download the CS3Installer Patch utility.
2. Unzip the CS3Installer Patch utility.
3. Double-click the CS3InstallerPatchMac folder to open the directory.
Note: Make sure that you are logged in as Administrator.
4. Double-click the file "CS3installer patch."
Now reinstall your CS3 application. On Mac OS, go to the [username]/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder and double-click the application you want to reinstall. On Mac OS X, you can't use your CS3 DVD or electronic download of CS3 to reinstall. Running the CS3Install Patch only resolves the problem if you reinstall the application from the Adobe Installers folder.

  • Epson Printing Problem with CS3

    My Epson Stylus Pro 9600 has a problem with CS3 printing. When printing large images (i.e. 36x60) a portion of the image would be missing at the bottom (blank) The 10.01 update addressed this issue but it seems not completely. The problem was attributed to using a "Custom" print resolution however I still have this problem and after much testing I have narrowed it down to the "Finest Detail" check box under the custom, advanced tab. Checking this "Finest Detail" check box reproduces the problem.
    I'm not sure where the problem lies whether it be Photoshops new stripped down print code or Epsons drivers. For the mean time I will keep this feature de-selected. Hope this helps other frustrated Epson Owners.
    Vista 32, dual quad xeon 2.33
    Photoshop CS 3.3 Extended (Masters Collection)
    Epson Stylus Pro 9600, Drivers ver 5.52, current printer bios

    Adobe blamed Epson drivers for not anticipating CS3's changes. Like they're clairvoyant or something. Their reason was that it was too hard to take into account every printer on the market when writing the new (unasked for) CS3 printing module. A feeble excuse when it comes to Epson pro machinery, though - it is the industry standard, after all.
    Solution? - use CS2 for printing, authored back when Adobe wrote its software to be compatible with existing equipment and drivers, not expecting the world to fall into line with whatever it decided it would do. CS2 works flawlessly with my 7800, CS3 remains a basket case for the same reasons you mention, though checking/unchecking the fine detail box makes no difference. CS3 is erratic - sometimes it works as directed, but then out of nowhere it will suddenly decide to attenuate a pano print.
    We'll see if they get it right with CS4's "improved" printing, but don't hold your breath.

  • Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac?

    Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac? 

    Peggy
    You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
    Two more questions:
    1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
    2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
    Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.

    I can't delete my bt emails or move them to folders, other emails from tiscali no problem with, anyone help please

Have managed to get most things working correctly just can't sort this BT email problem out. Will report back later!

  • Problem with Adobe Help Online

    Dear sir,
    Hi, My name is Palm.
    I have a problem with Adobe Help. Every time I use the function "Leyer Style" >> "Gradient Overlay".
    Adobe Help Online is often displayed without my pressing or click anything.
    It was a problem with my work.
    I have to restart the program. To work again.
    Thanks for the help.

    Thank you.
    It's excellent for this solution.
    I have solved the problem as suggested.
    Now the problem is still not found but I will monitor this issue further.

    Check the Adobe website for compatibility.

  • Problems with "Mac Help"

    My help files, especially "Mac Help", no longer work properly since upgrading to Tiger. If I open "Mac Help", for example, the help window will pop up, but the links will not work (nothing happens when I click on them) and the search feature in help will not work either (the little gray "clock" just spins next to the help bar and nothing else ever happens). Any suggestions on this one? As I'm a relatively recent Mac convert, the help feature was something that I came to rely on. Thanks!

    Hi CP,
    This is a common problem with Mac Help. When it happens, try first (quit Help) deleting this folder:
    Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpui
    If Help still doesn't work, try then deleting those files:
    Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist
    Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.help.plist
    (and this one if you find it):
    Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpui.plist
    See also this KB article for more info
    - Mac OS X 10.2, 10.3: Mac Help Viewer unexpectedly quits
    and this excellent X Lab FAQ
    - Troubleshooting Help Viewer
    It seems (not sure about that), that Help caches get easily corrupted when interrupting searches instead of patiently waiting for its internet accessings etc?
    Good luck!

  • Weird Photoshop launching Problem with Leopard - Help!

    Program: Photoshop 10.0 from CS3 Design Premium
    Computer: Mac OSX leopard Version 10.5.1., Intel core 2 Duo.
    Problem: When I launch Photoshop I get this message: "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked. Use the 'Get Info' command in the Finder to unlock the file.
    Well, I select the program icon (which is what the message is referring to as "the file") then I go to the 'Get Info' window it shows that program is not locked. I have uninstalled the program, and even the whole suite and reinstalled it a number of times, but nothing works. HELP!
    All the other programs open fine except for the InDesign which will open, but not for long before it quits. No error message pops up with the InDesign.
    HELP!!!
    LK

    Hi Folks!
    Well, I have spent a lot of time going back and forth between Adobe and Apple techs for days, and it comes down to this:
    I was told by both that I could do a clean install of the Leopard and chance that the Adobe Photoshop and InDesign will still have the same problems, or I can wait for Adobe to work on fixes for the software.
    When I originally installed the Leopard it was installed over the original Tiger operating system. I have loads of software on the computer, Quark, MS Office, CS3 Design Premium, and much more and other than some issues with my AOL everything works perfectly except the problem mentioned above with Photoshop and InDesign. AOL is working on a new software for Leopard which should come out soon. It seems that Adobe needs to do the same with Photoshop and InDesign, or make fixes for the many problem, which from I read they are trying to do.
    I would really hate to do a clean install on my computer, with all the work that comes with it reinstalling software, printer drivers, etc., just to find that Photoshop and InDesign will still have problems.
    From some of what I read from others on this string, and in other areas of the forum, it looks like people are often having problems with Photoshop and InDesign even if they did a clean install.
    If anyone had done a clean install and are still having problems, please mention it on this string.
    THANK YOU!!

  • Problems with the help menu.

    Hi. I'm a new iMac user and have had problems using the help menu on my computer. Every time I click on help and search a topic I get a blank untitled window. Nothing ever opens up in the window and then the spinning beach ball comes up. It is only in the blank window and I am still able to use the computer normally. I am unable to close or force quit the program and have to restart to get rid of it. I have called tech support and spent over an hour on the phone with no help and ended up reinstalling the operating system. Still having the same problem. Anyone have some advice or have had a similar problem?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Try reindexing the hard drive via Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight.
    Drag the hard drive into the Privacy section, and the select it in that section, and select the minus sign in the bottom left corner below the field holding the drive.
    Click then on Spotlight every half hour to wait until the Indexing status no longer shows up.
    If Help still doesn't come up entirely, try clicking on the clear jewel in the upper right corner of the Help menu. It may reveal the search field. If it doesn't, quit from the Help Viewer application menu, and then go to com.apple.helpviewer.plist and delete it. Help should then load normally.
    If it still doesn't, try repairing permissions with Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility.
    In the end, if that still doesn't work, let us know, and we might suggest something else.

  • FTP problems with CS5 - Help please

    I volunteer helping charity and education organisations with their websites.  One of my clients has just bought CS5 - I personally am still working on CS3 - so when I went to help them download their site first of all the set-up was quite different (why do companies fix things that aren't broken), but I got over that issue and managed to connect to the site, download and make a couple of changes. All was well!
    Two days later I went back, because they were having problems and I couldn't connect to the server.... Well, when I was on the main Dreamweaver screen  the computer said it was connecting and made all the right moves uploading files etc, but nothing on the website changed, so goodness knows where the files were going.  When I went onto the screen showing local and remote files, on the server side there was just a message saying you can't upload unless you set up a control version and the little blue plug was just greyed out.
    I don't want or need to set up a control version as it is just one person dealing with this site from one computer.
    As this is the first time I have come across 'subversion' or SVN I am a little confused. I have sent an email to the hosting company to make sure it is not a problem with their server, but won't get a reply until Monday so I thought that over the week-end I would just ask all you out there....
    Help!!

    DW is more than capable of managing your FTP tasks on its own.  Please tell us - when you connect to the remote site and then LOOK at the Remote side of the Files panel, what FOLDER names do you see?  As an ancillary question, what do you have in the Root Directory field of the Remote site definition?

  • Problem with Adobe Help in Creative Cloud

    I'm using Mac OSX 10.9 but this problem has been here before that.
    My Adobe Help application says "No Adobe Products are currently installed." which is completely wrong. If I look at the "Local Content tab there is nothing displayed. I did have the "Display Local Help Content only" set to "yes, because it annoyed me to be taken to SLOW website whenever I clicked help. But now I have no other options and it seems to have mucked uo the help system altogether. I have changed it to "No" now so that it will display online content, but the real problem is that it does not recognise ANY of the installed CC applications.
    Any clues as to what the problem is or how I can make Adobe Help recognise my installed applications? Adobe Help has SUCKED BADLY for local help content for a long now.

    i too have issues with the help the tech sopport for Adobe. When i last tried to call i was told it would be a hour wait. Using the online chat was useless as well. Then to top things off my code for the ID theft monitering servies is not valid. Now i have to call and deal with that, there is another half a day wasted. I think its time to hack the software, YES adobe i have the .DLL files needed to have creative cloud or windows 7. Unless i get better help im going to cancle my subscription and just intall the hacks so the software still works. who needs support they are useless anyway.

  • Problem with printing help plz

  • Curious Problem with Images - Help required soon

    I'm working towards a Monday deadline and this problem with Pages is giving me nightmares.
    The images swap but keep the same bounding area. A logo, for example, may have in its place a screenshot.
    It is getting out of hand and I need help with this quickly.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can set the preferred address to bind the registry via the "java.rmi.server.hostname" system property, which can be set via the command line:
    java -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=127.0.0.1
    or...
    java -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=my_host
    I think you can also set the property programatically via the setProperty() method in the java.lang.System class
