Reinstalling dw cs3 issues

trying to reinstall dw cs3. it askes me to insert pscs4 to continue installation. I'm using ps cs3 and its an upgrade download from adobe. how to i get around this? i didn't see it when i first installed a few years ago. thanks

Sorry to bring you bad news, but you have to start from scratch and reinstall everything. you have tainted your installer database with a CS4 or CS5 program (trial, public beta, whatever...) and this prevents any successful install of CS3 stuff. Read this and this for more information.

    I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues.  Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time.  Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......."  There is no other Adobe product installing.  I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues.  Please help.

    Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

  • Trouble reinstalling photoshop cs3 after computer crashed

    my computer crashed and now i am having trouble reinstalling photoshop cs3 on my computer. prior to the crash, i had saved the software on a cd. when i try to reinstall the software by clicking "run", a new file opens titled "ahmbed.gz" and the setup menu does not open. i have never had this issue before. i am not interested in purchasing an update, i only want to reinstall the version i already have on my computer. if you can please provide step-by-step information on how to solve this problem, it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • Photoshop CS3 issue

    I did a clean install of leopard. Then installed CS3 Design Premium.
    Photoshop is acting very weird. I used to have the "flickering cursor problem", but I think it's gone after I did update Photoshop.
    But I still have this weird problem with input menus - I can't enter values into font size/radius box (also into width box while tranforming). Sliders work fine but this is very annoying!
    Also I see some weird graphical issues with menus and GUI (there's a slightly darker, but still cleanly visible gray rectangle under some buttons like SAVE, CANCEL, RESET and so...).
    I've read adobe forums, and there are some people having exact same problems. Anybody else had similiar problems ?
    As for now *PHOTOSHOP CS3 IS NOT FULLY LEOPARD COMPATIBLE !*

    You saved me guy. I didn't have exactly te same problem as you but i tried to reinstall photoshop CS3 cause of the report problem window (where you explain what hapened and it sends to ADOBE (not apple).
    And i have the same pro with firefox cs3 I guess it's the same combination of keys to get id of prefs…
    But all of this hapened after I boot with disk warrior to repair catalog and permissions.
    After that i had may be i still, i need to restart to see (i'm scared) problems. I was no more Administrator of the Mac … I'm shure thre is a link so i boot with leopard change my password then i restart Changing it in users. Now i pray cause i have a lot of work to do on Photoshop. Curiosly it didn't affect others app of CS3 suite…
    Thanks a lot Bastille (actually i'm living at 500 m of La Bastille Paris

    I have an old Mac G5 with OSX 10.5.8
    After a crash of my HD, I reinstalled the CS3.
    At the time of recording I get a window with the message "COMPLETED REGISTRATION" and under "There was a problem sending the informasioni via internet" and still under three choices to "send back" and "records in a second time "or" never record "and I continue to choose the latter option.
    Another problem is that in Bridge (version 2.0.0.975) I can no longer see thumbnails of RAW files from my Canon 40D that I saw before.
    Should I upgrade ACR? which is the latest version supported on my Mac?

  • Reinstalling Mountain Lion issue.

    Reinstalling Mountain Lion issue. After I erased my HD and reinstalled OS (w/o file transfer from other Mac option) - opened Safari and saw my old bookmarks there already. Does that mean that reinstall didn't go correctly?

    Thanks for the reply, I will try that tonight.

  • Reinstall Flash CS3 for Mac OSX

    Recently had to replace the hard drive on my Mac Book Pro. Data transfer to the new hard drive went well EXCEPT for my attempts to reinstall Flash CS3 and Flash Player (I'm forgetting the name of the latest and greatest version of the media player--forgive my temporary ignorance). I followed all of the procedures outlined in the ReadMe file. Have tried it several times to no avail. I keep getting an error message at the end of the reinstall process and the program will not open. All of the application files appear to be on my hard rive. Something is missing or needs to be repaired. I just don't know where to start to find out what needs to be repaired or replaced or updated. I suspect that because there have been numerous updates to Flash player, something related is interfering with the reinstall process. Any advice help would be appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Mike, thank you very much for your help. Luckily I have found the 
    right Flash version: 10.1.102.64

  • Can't reinstall PS CS3, claiming it's not uninstalled?

    My friend who is too lazy to post here is having problems with CS3. He uninstalled it before he got a larger hard disk, or so he thought. Now when he goes to reinstall PS CS3 it gives him an error that it's already installed. Now, I'm not a Mac guy, I'm just smart enough to realize asking for help is more likely to get a solution than sitting around. :)
    So, what can I suggest he look at to figure out why PS CS3 thinks it's still installed?

    I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
    I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.
    I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.
    This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations. Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.
    Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) may NOT help. Try it anyway, though.
    ====
    Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
    Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.
    If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
    Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
    Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
    Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large.
    Also, from: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
    The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
    NOTE:
    There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.

    Hello,
    I need to reinstall Flash CS3 only which is part of Create Suite Master Collection I own. I am not sure how to install just one of the applications. I have only located Flash encoder dmg on the disks. Please advise. Thank-you.

  • Reinstall of CS3 Master Suite and Photoshop CS5

    I recently had to reinstall my OS and now need to reinstall both CS3 Master Suite and Photoshop CS5.  Can I install Photoshop CS5 first since I use that every day?  And then later install CS3 Master Suite WITHOUT Photoshop?  Or do I have any reason to install them in order, i.e. CS3 Master Suite WITHOUT Photoshop and then CS5?

    I assume your Photoshop CS5 is the full retail standalone version?
    I see no reason why you cannot install Photoshop CS5 then Master Suite CS3 (and uncheck the Photoshop CS3 option when you tell the installer what to install).

  • I want to reinstall DW cs3. No disks. How ?

    I want to reinstall DW cs3. No disks. How ?

    It is not a wild goose chase. All my settings were correct. But when I clicked the button over files" that shows a connection it would not light up. When I asked dw to update it would say unable to connect to the internet. But when I checked whether the FTP was working under test" in manage sites it connected fine. Further when I installed the new version I instantly connected with all my old settings.
    I have tried everything to get cs3 working but it just will not make a connection. When I go to preview in browser it would say that if was not connected. And since this only recently began to happen it seems like a glitch.

  • Trouble reinstalling photoshop cs3

    Recently, cs3 has stopped working for me. One day I tried to open it and it wouldn't respond. I tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it and it didn't work - it says failed to install Adobe Photoshop CS3. All the shared components reinstall, but CS3 doesn't.
    I downloaded the trial version of CS4 to see if that would work, but again it told me that Adobe Photoshop CS4 has failed to install. And again, all the shared components managed to install.
    Can anybody tell me how to fix this?

    Formating, it must be gone now?
    When you update, delete and reinstall your profile is kept and only program-files are deleted / replaced. All your prefs , account details, mail, folders and add-ons are intact.

  • Attempt to reinstall Acrobat CS3

    when I attempt to reinstall Acrobat CS3 the installer asks for a Premier CS4 disc. I did try out Premier CS4 years ago but have long since deleted the 30 day trial. So what does it take to reinstall Acrobat so I can get back to work. Did installing the trial of Photoshop CS6 mess up CS3?

    Erm, where to begin? You are trying to install an older version over a newer version after years only after having trialled an even newer version? This cannot work. There are dependencies for shared components everywhere. Attempt to manually uninstall everything (including the CS6 Beta!), run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, clean out the remnants and then reinstall in proper order.
