Reinstalling PS CS3 on new iMac fails

Applications asks for Elents 6 disc to be inserted. I don't have. Am currently running Elements 11. Only option is to cancel install.

you're trying to install photoshop cs 3 which is an upgrade from photoshop elements 6?
if both those are true, you should be able to install with both serial numbers (ps cs3 and pse 6). you don't need the pse 6 install files.

Dreamweaver CS3 on new iMac

I have just migrated CS3 (Version 9 Build 3481) to a new iMac - Photoshop and Illustrator work fine but Dreamweaver won't load - a blank error message appears and the program is unable to load further. Mac software version is 10.8.2

Possible it might not be compatible. Unfortunately the 3 years back policy expired at the end of last year so your only options for an upgrade are the Cloud or purchase a new CS6 license. You do say you "migrated". Can you re-install?

Reinstall my PS5 on new iMac without CD port

Hi,
I used the migration assistant to transfer over my information to my new iMac but it is now telling me that components are missing from PS5. I only dowloaded it once and have the serial number. How do I reinstall it on my computer without a CD port? Is there a link to download it off online and use my serial number?

Yes. You must mean CS5. Download CS5 products You'll just need the serial number.
You can never migrate Photoshop from one computer to another, you must reinstall.
After that go to Product updates to download the latest updates.

Photoshop CS3 causing new iMac to hang

I have an issue with Photoshop CS3 hanging my iMac.
When the application is active but in the background and unused for a while and I return to use it the entire machine becomes unresponsive, the mouse cursor can still be moved around the screen but nothing can be clicked (wireless mighty mouse), force quit can not be invoked to kill PS.
I have to resort to switching of the machine in order to get it back up.
Has anyone else seen this, either on an iMac or other intel macs..?

Not to dismiss your problem by any means, I thought I'd report my experience since I'm running PS CS3 as well. I'm on a 24" iMac and PS CS3 has been running well for me.
In addition to the keyboard and my Epson all-in-one printer (plugged into the back), I have a Logitech cordless mouse whose dock is plugged into the keyboard, and I have a USB 2.0 Maxtor hard drive plugged into the back.
I am getting general problems when I try to use my Belkin usb hub and when I use my usb card reader for any length of time, but I can't see that they have had any effect on running PS CS3.
Like I said - not to dismiss your issue - I just thought it might be helpful to share about my peripherals etc.
Good Luck,
Frank B.

Installing Aperture on new iMac fails.

New iMac of late 2012 bought yesterday.Have an iMac of late 2007.
After transferring programs and documents I started Aperture and was requested to give serialnumber anew. The serial number for Aperture 2.0 was invalid and so was the number of Aperture 3, as an upgrade number. What's wrong?

So you have the original serial number for Aperture 2 and the upgrade serial number for Aperture 3?
Pro apps like Aperture are really meant to be installed on a new machine via the media it came on, they don;t do well being copied over.
If you are positive the serial numbers you have are valid and are being entered correctly and you can't get a hold of a DVD reader to install off your media you can try downloading from here Aperture 3.1 Trial

Reinstall of Lepoard on new Imac

Would appreciate comments on re-installing Leopard on a new Imac, purchased mid-Nov 2007. I had a number of glitches to include inability to upload dig camera photos to iphotos. Tech folks could not figure out how/why various glitches happened. Senior tech, after multiple calls and one trip to the genius bar, said it is time to wipe and re-install the OS. Only things that matter are kids itunes/family photos which I backed up to a standard external HD. Before going to next step and wiping/re-installing Leopard via the "CPU drop in dvd" disk, is there anything unusual that crops up? I read the online postings and articles about the re-install topic, and I have the Pogue OS X Leopard manual where I read about 'nuke and pave', but this is my first Apple computer and I am a bit hesitant to jump in. Also, I would like to avoid establishing admin and other passwords for the family accounts but I am not confident that I know how to skip these steps when, during install, there is a prompt to establish various PWs. Comments welcome. Many thanks. Ed

Since you have an external HD, use something like Carbon Copy Cloner, Disk Utility, etc. to put a bootable backup/clone onto it, boot into it to ensure it acts like the original, pop in the install disk, select Erase & Install option, and after it restarts, use the Migration Assistant to transfer everything from the backup/clone.

Reinstalling Quicktime Pro on new imac

Following a terminal problem with my old imac, I have now bought a new imac. The old one will not start.
I had upgraded to Quicktime pro a few years ago and don't want to have to buy it again. How can I get the pro version on my new machine?
Thanks
Rob

There doesn't appear to be such a link.
Correct me if I'm going to the wrong place. I'm going to the Apple Store UK (education section):-
http://store.apple.com/uk?afid=p202%7CGOUKE105224150&cid=OAS-EMEA-KWG-UKTop_KWExact-UK
Then, to log-in, I'm going to the "My Account" pull down menu and signing in to, "Account Information"
Which of these choices is wrong?

How can I install cs3 on new iMac with no disc drive?

I purchased cs3 and have all the original discs and serial number but can't use them so easily with the new macs... I have read the other discussions and tried the links to download the cs3 trial and then imput my serial number.
http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
the links that are on this page give me http error: 404 message
Is it just me? Do these links no longer work? Does anyone have anyother ideads on how to get around this?
I'm not completely ignorant about computers- ignorant enough for this to be a very frustrating Saturday morning though... and the Adobe chat is of no help which only make me want to punch an install disc even more.
any help is appreciated
Thanks!

I was signed in with download assistant, no just in at adobe.com... I've tried different perferences and settings but when I click on the links nothing seems to happen. I've been messing around with this for a few hours now and it dawned on me that it may have something to do with my internet. I live outside the city- totally nice for gardening, totally terriable for internet thus I have a verizon data plan and not unlimited internet, I think possibly verizon is shutting it down because of restrictions I have on my data. This type of thing also happened when I upgraded to Mavericks. The file itself was larger than my month's data so it seemed like it wouldn't initiate the download... I don't know for sure if it is the same problem here but if you're telling me that you are having more successful results than I am that might be the reason.
I'll take my computer to work or to my mom's house or somewhere where I can have unlimited access and see if I have any better success.
Thanks so much for all your help!

On New iMac 10.8, CS4 Program quit unexpectedly when trying to print

I can't print since I have reinstall CS4 on my new iMac with english system 10.8. Program quit unexpectedly when I want to print. Is there a solution?

You might have been able to just reapply the OS 10.4.10 COMBO update for PPC or the OS 10.4.10 COMBO update for Intel without having to have gone through the motions of an archive and reinstall, with subsequent combo update.

I installed CS3 from backup to a new iMac when my old iMac failed. How do I activate CS3 suite?

I installed CS3 from backup to a new iMac when my old iMac failed. How do I activate CS3 suite?
When I try starting Photoshop, for example, it tells me uninstall then reinstall the product OR contact product support.
However, when I phone product support, it says there is no product support for CS3 and to go to the Forums.
Thank you.

Adobe CS3 install fails on new iMac

I have been unable to install Adobe CS3 Design Standard on my brand new 27" Core 15 iMac. I have followed all the suggestions from Adobe, but only Acrobat installs okay. Can't get Photoshop, Illustrator, or Indesign to install. On the Adobe forums someone told me that CS3 is not compatible with Snow Leopard. However another post quotes Adobe claiming that it is compatible. I am wondering perhaps if it is the installer that doesn't work with Snow Leopard. Is it possible to boot up this new iMac with Leopard, installed on an external drive? If so, perhaps I could then install CS3 on the internal drive and then re-boot to Snow Leopard and all would be well?

The new iMac will not run an earlier OS. Besides, even if it could, Adobe can be very fussy about allowing you to move things from one drive to another. It might see it as an unauthorized installation on a second computer. CS2 runs on mine, but don't know about 3.

Not sure, but you might have to first de-authorize it on the Leopard to get it to install on the Snow. There is a "transfer" option somewhere.

Can't install CS3 Upgrade on NEW iMac 24". An Imac DVD drive issue?

My CS3 Design Premium Upgrade CD fails to install Photoshop on my BRAND NEW iMac yet it is able to install everything else on the CS3 disc. I just bought this iMac yesterday and CS2/CS3 Upgrade are the FIRST things I installed (besides updates) when I turned it on. I'm still using 10.4.10.
I searched through the Adobe forums and the internet as to how others with the same issue have dealt with the problem, but it seems the most common reason is that people had installed Photoshop CS3 beta previously as well as older Flash/Acrobat plug-ins conflicting with the installation process. Further, these causes seem to be effecting Windows users.
So a few hours ago I tried to COPY the upgrade CD contents to my hard disk, I get the message:
"The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'AdobePhotoshop 10en_US.dmg' could not be read or written. (Error code -36)."
This procedure of copying to the disk (and the resulting error message) is SPECIFICALLY addressed in the Adobe support pages TechNotes:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401429&sliceId=2
The page says that it may be a drive issue that is causing the problem. Of the 7 possible solutions given on the page, I've narrowed it down to only 1 option left (but I can't try it since I don't have another Mac!):
"*Solution 4*: Copy the software to the hard drive of a different computer.
*If the software copies successfully, the model of DVD drive on your original computer might not be able to read the DVD. Contact the DVD drive or computer manufacturer for any updates that might be available.*"
But what's funny (or annoying rather) is, I had a 20" Alum 2.4 iMac earlier this year (returned because of screen problem), and the CS3 upgrade installed without any problems on it!..??? And according to the iMac specs, the 20" and 24" models both have the same DVD drive make right?
Any ideas??? Are there other 24" iMac users who are experiencing similar problems? If not, then I guess I may have to return yet another iMac...which I'm reluctant to do since this screen is PERFECT! I'm scared to get another iMac with the dreaded screen gradient issue.

I just solved the problem.
I tried copying the DVD files to the hard disk about 7-8 more times. The last try SUCCESSFULLY copied to the disk and I was able to install Photoshop CS3.
Yay.
