Trouble installing CS2 onto new Mac Air

Just bought a brand new Mac Book Air and a USB super drive. When I try to install my Photoshop CS2 (a true, purchased version, with serial number, not bootleg or anything) I'm getting a message that says Install Error. Not sure why it won't work. Any advice?

I tried. Didn't work. Still telling me that it cannot do it because the PPC is no longer compatible with Maverick OS. I have literally been sitting here in tears for the past six hours trying to find a solution. I am so so so sad and frustrated and of course can't talk to a real person from Adobe. I CANNOT afford to go drop another $1,500-$3,000 on Photoshop and am NOT interested in doing the Creative Cloud. I feel sad and stuck. Have been a devoted Adobe Photoshop user for 15 years now and have learned as much as I can about the programs, so it makes me physically ill to think about switching to something else. But I just can't seem to find a solution. I had NO idea this would be a problem. You'd think when you pay $800+ (what I paid for original program) that you'd be able to always use it. I'm so sick over this and now feel like this new laptop is worthless to me (I'm a photographer). So sad your fix didn't work... had my fingers crossed for the whole hour and a half it took to download! Thank you for trying. (I had never worried about updating because my program worked flawlessly so I never felt the need to change it... until my laptop died and I was forced into this newest OS. Now I'm SCREWED.)

Trouble installing photoshop on new mac tower

I am trying to install photoshop CS2 onto a new Mac Tower (3.33 GHz, 6 core, intel xeon) running OSX Lion from the original install disc so that I can install my upgrade to CS4 before purchasing the upgrade to CS6. I keep getting a message saying power computer no longer supported. Does this mean that I can no longer upgrade from my original versions of photoshop? Is there a way that I can install my original disc with this operating system? Do I have to go back to an earlier version of OSX to achieve this?
Thank you in advance to anyone with some answers.

You will no longer be able to install CS2 on your computer. You are welcome to install CS4 and then enter the CS2 serial number when prompted to enter a qualifying serial number. You can do the same thing with CS6 only this time you would use your CS4 serial number.

Problem installing CS4 onto new Mac OS X

Can someone please help me?!
I have just tried to install my Photoshop CS4 Extended onto my brand spankin' new Mac computer and when I tried to open the application this message comes up:
"You can't open the application 'Adobe Photoshop SC4' because it is not supported on this architecture". What exactly does this mean?
I have the latest IMac so I don't see why this would be a problem.

Hi Cherry!
Usually this happens, when Photoshop CS4 was not successfully installed.
Reinstall it.
If the option to install Photoshop CS4 is not available, de-install it first. Either use the installer or manually remove the Adobe Photoshop CS4 folder.
Cheers,

Trouble installing Lightroom on new Mac

I just bought a new computer and decided to start fresh, rather than migrate my old system over (I was having some issues and it seemed like an ideal time to do this).
My old computer was purchased used, and came with Lightroom 3.x installed. I bought an upgrade to LR 4 for $79 right when it came out.
I went into my Adobe account and downloaded LR 4. When I put the serial number in, it told me that it's an upgrade serial (which is correct), and I need to enter the old serial. Unfortunately, I don't have it written down and it's not in my Adobe account, because LR 3.x came installed on the computer I bought.
What can I do? Is there a way to retrieve the serial from LR on the old computer?

Probably easier to return the upgrade and buy the full version, if you need to do that. Adobe are pretty good about refunds http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/return-cancel-exchange-order-north-ameri ca.html

Trouble installing CS4 onto Intel Mac

Good day to all, I have a problem.

Thanks for the info. Previous attempts were all done w/o any apps running, and then in safe boot config just to waste some more time. Here's the log entry:

Trouble installing CS6 on my mac

Im having trouble installing CS6 onto my mac. I have tried each way a few times and it isnt downloading, it might get to half way and then it stops. Any ideas?

What Mac? What version of OSX? What are the specific errors. And clarify whether you actualyl alrteady have successfully downloaded and get stuck on installing or if it's the otehr way around. That false intermingling of terminology is really not helping.

If I order a new mac air will it have os mountain lion preinstalled

The information on the Apple site is misleading, in tech specs it says software installed is os mountain lion but when I order and put it in the basket it says the software is os x lion. I have tried to use the help chat and they cannot guarantee that os mountain lion will be pre-installed on a new mac air.

You will probably get it with ML then, they may not be shipping from existing stock, i.e., your MBA may be coming from China.

Trying to load my Photoshop CS3 onto new Mac Book Air. Why does it ask for InDesign CS4 part way through?

Loading my Photoshop CS3 onto new Mac Book Air. Why does it ask for InDesign CS4 part way through? I have a CS5.5 disc. Will suffice?

that doesn't make sense. you will only be prompted for earlier adobe versions when installing a latter upgrade version.
double check your versions.
also, you might want to clean your computer before retrying to install, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format." Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist". Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion! "you need to copy that file to your new computer..." Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export. Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)? Copy it to and from a thumb drive? But then place the file where? And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)? Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

Mac OS 10.10.2 is installed and can open documents on my new Mac Air but an error message occurs with I try to attach a PDF to emails. Any thoughts? Apple was unable to help.

Mac OS 10.10.2 is installed and can open documents on my new Mac Air but an error message occurs when trying to attach a PDF to emails. Apple was not able to fix. Any thoughts?

The message says:
Please wait
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of your document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
Then it goes on to suggest an Reader upgrade, which I already did.

Installing software on my Mac Air & MBP - installer wont load

Hi all
I am hoping some one is technically savvy enough to help me trouble shoot this problem. I recently purchased a new digital camera and am trying to install the software disc that came with the camera. I unfortunately need to install the software disc so that it loads the necessary files for me to process the raw digital files that came out of the camera so using things like iphoto etc is no good for me.
The issue I have is when I double click the installer it momentarily flashes up and then disappears???? I cannot figure out WHY?? So I have tried to trouble shoot as best as possible. Here is what I have done and results to date.
1. Tried to Install this on my MacBook Pro. Installer flashes up momentarily and disappears?
2. Tried to install this on my Mac Air also running OS X Snow Leopard. Same issue?? So far conclude its not machine related
3. Downloaded another install disc off the internet and tried to run that version. Same ISSUE. So its not issues related to my CD.
4. Stripped out previous versions of the software on my MAC Air to ensure its not causing issues. Same problem
5. Checked online forums and other uses and purchasers of the digital camera ARE able to install the software on their macs!!!
6. Uninstalled every single APP that I have installed on my MAC air and tried to get it back to stock. Try again. Still fail????????
7. Updated the OS X software to ensure everything is up to date.
8. Grabbed the OLD version of the software disc that came with my previous digital camera (same brand) and installed that CD (version 23 - for those familiar with Canon DSLR). that loads up correctly and allows me to install. Version 25 the latest that comes with my new Canon DSLR doesnt load up.
I am stuck !!! I cannot pin point the issue. I dont understand OS X enough to debugg or log what the potential issue is.
I started up the Activity Monitor and watched closely in the my Process specifically for the process that I start up (SetUp)
I noticed that the Setup process name registers. Then another process starts up UniversalInstaller then both of them disappears?????????? and nothing happens in my comp!!!!!
Is there some way for me to debug this ?? look at log file?? enable error logging or has ANY one got any idea what may be the issue???
I've essentially bought a VERY VERY expensive DLSR and I cannot edit my raw files because I cannot install the software!!
HELP ME Please

Downloading as we speak, and the first explanation that comes to mind is that both files have a .rar extension, and that since OS X doesn't support this archive format, you need to install a third-party utility to open them.
One files tool to open .rar files is The Unarchiver (here), and another is Stuffit Expander (there). 7zip also proposes a Mac version (here). All three will decompress a .rar file, and let you access the .dmg file(s) inside.
Also, depending on the browser you're using, and provided you might be inclined to open trusted files directly (I use Opera, and seldom save safe download; I click on "Open" in the download dialogue), your files could very well open... in the browser cache folder, out of sight. But if you use Safari, Chrome or Firefox, and you don't have any utility installed to handle .rar files, that's doubtful. I'm going to open your files now, and check if I can install them.
Stay tuned!
Edit: decompressing the first file using The Unarchiver shows that the archive is "incomplete". Which leads me to think that you might have to concatenate the two files to make one "complete" .dmg file.
If so, once they are decompressed, open a Terminal (in Applications/Utility), then type "cat", and drag both files in the window, one after the other (preferably in the right order...), type a space, then give the final file any name you want, followed by the .dmg file extension:
(e.g.:) "cat /Users/Your_Name/Desktop/File1.dmg /Users/Your_Name/File2.dmg /Users/Your_Name/Desktop/FinalFile.dmg"

I have moved my music to my new mac air but now it won't sync with my ipod or my iphone 4s

I have transferred mymusic to my new mac air from an acer laptop via an external hard drive and it's all there on the mac but now itunes won't sync with my ipod touch or my iphone 4s.
With the ipod it says 'iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device " It also doesn't show up at all in the devices section.
With the iphone it says there isn't enough space to sync even though I have experimented and unticked various things including photos which takes up a lot of space. It seems like it wants to sync with the empty space on the iphone (very small!) and not with the whole thing. I have tried various things suggested on this forum but have had no luck.

I had this problem too and solved it by doing a clean install. After that it was gone.
This is a drastic method since it takes quite some time to reinstall lion and all your software.
Thoughts I had why it started working after a clean install are the following:
It looked like the airport wasn't able to reconnect fast enough before the connection timed out. So what could have prevented my mac from being able to connect fast enough?
Apps that consume processor cycles. I love what I would call 'System Enhancers', little apps that enhance my workflow (Moom, Alfred, Dropbox, Default Folder etc). I'm not saying that these are the problem, they might be programmed processor friendly, but check if you have apps that consume processor cylcles. It might prevent airport from being able to reconnect quickly enough before it times out.
Mobile Config profiles. Another thought I had was that I had a mobile config 802.1X profile installed for the company were I worked. It used TTLS to connect to the corporate network. This profile might have gotten in the way.
And a sidenote...
Routers with hardware acceleration might also be a problem. My router is a Wireless Gigabit Router 300N WL-351 and has hardware acceleration. As soon as I activate that my wifi connection keeps dropping. It is as if a Macbook Air can't handle that amount of optimisation.
That's it, hope it helps those who are still having the problem.
Best, Jan

I transfered my iWork '09 to my new Mac Air. Now my Keynote won't open. I get message, "An unexpected error has occurred, please quit and reopen Keynote." This doesn't work.

I transfered my iWork '09 to my new Mac Air. Now my Keynote won't open. I get message, "An unexpected error has occurred, please quit and reopen Keynote." This doesn't work.

so Keynote still isnt working after installing, I thought you had it sorted from your last post.
If you have not done so remove any files relating to iWork and Keynote and reinstall iWork
files that must go are:
the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications;
the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support
the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library >
There are a number of free application removal tools that will do this for you:
trashme       webpage
apptrap        webpage
appcleaner   webpage

i recently got new mac air and transferred my old version garageband projects now when I open them in 10.0.2 I can add new tracks but then nothing can record, shows its receiving sound from software inst. but no sound. I checked audio preferences and they are set as they should be. I tried it in all the other older projects and same issue anyone have any experience like this very frustrating. Can one download old version still ? or can you run both versions on OS10.9.5 ?

Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
Two questions, every idea would be great!
- Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
- Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
Thank you again,
Joern
