Reinstalling Adobe Design Suite CS3 on a New MacPowerBook - missing components?

I have just replaced my old MacPowerBook (circa 2009) with a new MacPowerbook. Both are running the same OS 10.9.2. Design suite runs on the old powerbook, but it is failing
and needed to be retired.  Transfer of my licensed CS3 design suite will not run after application transfe with an apparent license failure. Instructions in the warning window says to Says to uninstall and reinstall.  Reinstallation from the Master Installation disk fails with an error messages which says components are missing but does not tell me which components are missing.  Downloading installation files from Adobe's site gives the same error message (components missing). How do I identify the missing components

  • Can i install Adobe Design Standard CS3 on a Server 2012 R2

    Will be updating Adobe Design Standard server currently on Server 2003 Std to Server 2012 R2 Std. 64 bit. Can I still install Adobe Design Std CS3 on the new server? If not then suggest the versions compatible with Server 2012 R2 Std.

  • CS3 freezes at Adobe Design Suite window upon loading

    All of a sudden on both my macs running OSX 10.7.5, I can't load any of my CS3 programs. My computer keeps freezing on the window titled "Adobe Design Suite Standard CS3". The window below is blank and the only active button is the yellow one, not the red or green. I have tried restarting several times to no avail. Anybody know what is happening? Should I try reinstalling the entire suite on both my computers? Thanks for any assistance.

    Hi KJess,
    Did you install any new updates that might have caused this? When was the last time that it was working fine?
    Try launching the app in Mac's safe mode and check.
    Are you not able to launch any of the application from the Design standard Suite?
    In case you still face issues consider removing the program and reloading it,

    I want to do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro on my computer and my installation of Adobe Design Premium CS3 is not functioning. I cannot start it to get in and deactivate the Creative Suite installation.

    if you're using the same computer hardware to reinstall your cs3, you don't need to deactivate first.
    but if there's a significant hardware change you can ask adobe support for an activation count reset. contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

  • Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Design Premium Student Upgrade?

    I bought a student edition of CS3 Design Premium.
    After purchasing it I found that I only use the Photoshop part of the Suite.
    Am I able to upgrade the Photoshop portion, upgrade the complete Suite or do I have to purchase a new student copy of  CS5 Photoshop.
    Thanks in advance.

    Bob -- I appreciate your bad news
    Looks like I'll qualify for a teachers copy of CS5 -- I guess I'll pick one of those up.
    I had a quick glance at your article & am sure that both I & my children (students) will find it of use.
    Best to you & thanks again.

    Subject: Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Design Premium Student Upgrade?
    First things first...there are no student upgrades. If you're still eligible you can buy the software at student prices.
    In the case of actual upgrades, no, you can't upgrade an individual sutie component.
    I have an article on my web site that might be of interest to you: http://www.theindesignguy.com/purchase-advice.shtml

  • Adobe creative suite cs3 design premium

    Hi there,
    I've recently bought the new macbook pro (10.9.2) and was wondering if the ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE CS3 DESIGN PREMIUM software would still work on the new laptop? If anybody could help me, it would be most appreciated.
    Regards,
    Amy

    I just had a look at some of the Adobe CS3 products at Roaring Apps (http://roaringapps.com/apps?index=a) and it seems that most of the apps in the CS3 Design Premium Suite will, surprisingly, work with Mavericks.
    Not you'll just have to find a way to install it (unless you're restoring from a backup - in which case you'll probably still need your activation code).
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Legal to install Adobe Design Suite on my friends PC?

    Just wanted to ask if it was legal to install Adobe Design Suite on my friends PC? I have the student edition of Adobe Design Suite CS4 and im not sure how many times i am allowed to install it for myself let alone for another person. She is also a valid student and holds a student card. Obviously i didn't pay a lot of money for it to run out of licence uses so i don't want to go over my own amount if i do a reboot for instance. The Microsoft office student edition only has 3 licence uses as an example.
    Any replies are already well thanked.

    Look at it as a cycle point of view (activate/deactivate). Not as 20 of each.
    If you do the following by seperate replacement or upgrade: Update processor, new hard drive, new motherboard, new video card and reinstall windows that is 10 cycles used up right there. Then if you have a laptop or another compter....... it adds up pretty quick.

    The 20 activate/deactivate cycle is just plain wrong. What in the world are the shirts thinking?
    I have difficulties following that reasoning - how many times does one install the same software on the same computer (or a replacement, if the original one fails) ?
    Ok, hardware can fail, so a 2nd installation is quite reasonable.  Ok, hardware can fail again, so a 3rd install still seems reasonable.
    But then, are we talking about a software release one is going to use for a lifetime?  Especially if it comes to student versions; most people don't stay students for the rest of their lives...

    Download and Installation Help -
    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
    You will need your serial number.  If you have the discs you should be all set.  If not, then you should be able to find it thru your Adobe account online if you registered the software previously.
    You might want to contact Adobe Support thru chat before you activate the new installation if you would like to free up the activation that might have been left in limbo.

  • Question + Adobe Design Premium CS3 Problem

    Question:
    When I boot up Leopard after the grey apple logo loading screen it will turn to the blue screen then directly to my desktop. In tiger it would go to the blue screen then you would see a window with a loading bar. Did they remove that in Leopard because I don't see it, it just goes directly from the blue screen to my desktop.
    Adobe Design Premium Problem:
    I installed Adobe Design Premium CS3, I got some functionality problems so I deleted it from my Applications folder to re-install the trial software as I was in a hurry to get InDesign working because I had an assignment due. When I tried to install InDesign CS3, it would tell me during the installation that I can't install it because of "Adobe InDesign CS3". I am assuming that it still thinks that InDesign CS3 is installed? I made sure that I had deleted all the Adobe software from my computer. It did this with my other applications too when using my CD to install Design Premium again. It's like I'm locked out of installing it? I've heard of other people having the same problem.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    If there isn't an answer, it usually means other users don't know the answer.
    As far as the Adobe suite goes, there are two steps to deleting the suite. The first is deactivating it (I think that's on the Help menu), and the second is running the installer with the Uninstall option so that all of the files it installs in various places are removed. Is that how you did it, or did you just throw files in the Trash? If you trashed them manually, there are probably pieces left behind that are getting in the way.
    That is all I know about that one. For potentially much more information, you should drop by the Adobe user forums, where there should be many more users with direct experience with the Adobe-specific install/uninstall issues. Try clicking on the "Creative Suite" forum there.

  • After reloading adobe creative suite cs3 on my mac 10.4.11 acrobat will not open any pdfs it previously opened. help!

    after reloading adobe creative suite cs3 on my mac 10.4.11 acrobat will not open any pdfs it previously opened. help!

    hello.   hey, thanks very much for writing back.  i got some good info with a search or two.  (info about what regedit is and what corresponds to it in OS X -- regedit allows you to edit "preference" keys for individual programs,  OSX's equivalent for these keys are the .plists in User & System: Preferences and Application Support)
    what i ended up doing was uninstalling Premiere Pro (not the suite, just PPro).   Then i deleted a few preference files:
    from User /Preferences/Adobe:
    com.adobe.AdobePremierePro.plist
    com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.5.0.plist
    and from System Preferences:
    the file:  Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
    and..
    /.../Premiere Pro/5.0/...
    AMEPrefs.xml     (i noticed that there's also a preference file in Media Encoder's own folder so i didn't sweat this one)
    Debug Database.txt
    Placeholder Preset.epr
    PostEncodeCmds.pref
    PresetCache.xml
    Trace Database.txt
    NOTE:
    of course i don't know if deleting any files beyond the 2 .plist files in User Prefs was necessary, but...  it seems to have worked.
    I then reinstalled Premiere Pro CS5, and fired up an old project and i've got playback of HD and DV files, and snappy editing and rendering,  so hopefully i'm good to go.   I'm just going to stick with v5.0.0 because i actually don't remember ever having any trouble with it, and i don't remember v5.0.4 adding anything i was 'missing' or 'needed'
    hopefully, this thread will be useful for any future folks that run into trouble - and it's got a solution for both Windows and OS X
    happy editing,
    peace

  • Adobe Creative Suite CS3 - Adobe Indesign CS3 Debug: Installation on the same PC?

    Hi All,
    I'm hoping someone can help me :S
    I have designed a card measuring 210mm x 74mm. The printer has asked me to impose as head to head, 5mm double trims and bleed. I have no idea how to do this and seem to be wasting my time tring to google it. Trouble is I am trying to impose 4 pdf's into the 1 indesign file and when i export it as a pdf i can't see any trim mark/crop marks surrounding the edges of any of the 2 files (apart from the corners of the pages). I've probably just confused the hell out of you now but if you can help me I would really appreciate it. If I need to clarify anything please let me know.
    Thanks in advance!!
