Trouble installing CS4 on new iMacs

Since I cannot insert disks into the new iMacs(there is no drive), I was told to copy the content onto my desktop, and install it that way. When I open istaller, the content from disk 1 is installed successfully, but then it asks me to insert disk 2. Since I already the content of disk 2, I just press "ok," but nothing happens; it just keeps repeating the same prompt for me to insert disk 2. I would image this is because the installer reads when another disk is inserted, but since there is no disk drive, it doesn't think I've done anything. As a result, only the content from disk 1 is installed. How can I install the whole thing?

Follow the steps mentioned the below link, it will give you a step by step workflow to perform Desktop installation :-

As a workaround you could download the CS4 software from and then use this to install.

Trouble installing CS4 in Windows 7 64-bit

Has anybody else had trouble installing CS4 into Windows 7 Pro 64-bit? I had this suite installed in XP (32-bit) and it worked just fine, but it will not install on my new computer. The first time I tried, it got partway in (past the serial number), and then everything locked up. I had to restart the machine twice just to make it let go of the CD!
Someone on a forum suggested copying the disks to the hard drive and installing from there, but this did not work any better, the installation simply fails immediately, and I get an error code 1605. I tried it with the firewall off, and with anti-virus disabled, and I never leave User Account Control enabled. What is going on?

Hey robr72339266,
With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.

Anubha

I purchased numbers but want to install in my new iMac. how?

If you purchased it from the Mac App Store, sign in with the Apple ID used to buy it, click on the Purchases tab, and download it from there.
If you purchased it from the iTunes App Store, you can't without getting the Mac OS X version.

Iphoto never came installed in my new iMac bought in Dec. (newest version) WHY???

iphoto never came installed in my new iMac bought in Dec. (newest version) WHY??? How do I get it?

It did come pre-installed, have you looked in the Applicaitons folder and have you checked Trash to see if you (or some other user on your computer) threw it in there? If it's still not there, then restart in the Recovery Partition on your iMac (hold down the Option key when you hear the startup tone) and choose re-install OS X.

Problem installing on my new iMac

I have an ugrade version of Photoshop Elements 10/Premier Elements 10. I have recently changed from a Windows based machine to a new iMac. I obviously do not have my previous software installed on my new iMac. I suspect that there may be a problem to install my software for that reason, but in addition, I get the following error messages:

Hi dr_dmd,
Please try renaming the folder : /Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE to OOBE_old
After renaming unstall the PRE and PSE completly from /Applications/utilities/Adobe Installers and then try to install.
If still you face the same problem then please let us provide the list of Adobe software which are installed on your computer.

Unable to load CS4 to new iMac

I purchased CS4 from Adobe a few days ago and followed the instructions to load to a new iMac (OS 10.5 4GB Ram) which is a couple of weeks old. This is the first software I have attempted to load onto it. After trying twice and getting an error message both times 'some of the application components are missing please re-install the application' I contacted tech support at Adobe who walked me through uninstalling and re-installing. The program appeared to install but the error message came back and now the program is not loading at all. Tech support said they would call me back but I am still waiting many hours later.
I had many years with PCs but this is my first iMac and I am unsure if the error is with the Mac or the software.I would be grateful for any advice as I am totally lost.

Gotta say Ann, that sounds an absolutely dreadful solution to your problem, you had to install a DEMO version?!! WHAT!!! seriously?!
Ya know, with Adobe (and many other software providers) it's kind of like if you bought a brand new car from a car dealership but the driver door had a seal across it saying on it "if you break this seal you agree to the terms and conditions that said manufacturer are imposing", you then break the seal (cos you have to to get in) and then drive the car out of the showroom only to find that on the first turn of the wheel the wheel comes off in your hands, you then go to the dealers and say, "hey, this car isn't working properly, it's rubbish", to which they say "yeah but you agreed to the terms and conditions so it's your problem, but hey, as we're feeling kind we have some sticky tape in the showroom, we'll tape it back on again for you"
This ain't good enough Adobe, somebody SERIOUSLY needs to look into the licensing issues with software manufacturers, you couldn't get away with this junk anywhere else in industry, so why so for software???!!!
Either Adobe should produce rock solid software or they shouldn't produce software at all.

Upgrading from CS to CS4 on new iMac

I currently run Creative Suite Premium (CS) on a G5 iMac. I will soon be buying a new iMac running Snow Leopard and would like to upgrade to CS4 Design Standard, I know there is an upgrade for this.
My question is: How do I install the CS4 upgrade onto the new imac which will have no earlier version of Creative Suite. Also is it necessary to upgrade to CS4 on my old G5.

CS4 will work on both computers.
To install CS4 on the New computer just enter the serial number of CS when prompted. Be sure to buy the upgrade from CS. It seems Snow Leopard has a few problems you may need to wait for a few updates from Apple before all your software runs correctly on the new computer. If it were me I would get a model that was still running 10.5.x and pay the $25 for Snow leopard.

Migrated CS4 to new iMac - am getting error code 150:30

Have migrated all my programs to a new iMac - none of the CS4 programmes will launch. I get the message ' Licensing for this product has stopped working' following the advice on Adobe's site, I downloaded the License Recovery tools but get the message 'You can't open the application 'License Recovery Launcher' because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Any advice as to next step would be appreciated.

Migration does not work for Adobe programs. You need to install using installation files. Uninstall what you have, use the cleaner tool, and reinstall via download if you do not have discs.

PSE 8 wont install on my new imac

Hi Ankush,
I see you have helped so many others and am hoping you can help me too. I am starting a new thread as you requested.
I had PSE 6 installed on my old mac G4. I transferred everything by a firewire cable to my brand new imac. PSE 6 wont work on my new imac so I upgraded and bought PSE 8 which wont install. I get 95% through installation and it fails stating "error 2".
I have uninstalled (using the adobe uninstallers) PSE 6 & PSE 8.
I ran the analyzer and it said to run the clean program (I did for CS3 and CS4). It also stated that Minion Pro-Bold font was a problem. I cant find it under the font section. PSE 8 still wont install.
Thank you!
Debbie

Hi Debbie,
Ok. So let us go step by step:
1. Uninstall PSE 8 again from your machine through Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers/Uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.app
2. Now browse through the below location on your Hard Disk
<Macintosh HD>/Library/Fonts/
Check if there is any empty/non-empty folder present here saying "Minion Pro-Bold" ? If yes, then move that folder on your desktop.
If not, and say there is a font file present in this location saying Minion Pro-Bold.otf, then move that font file on the desktop.
3. Now try to install PSE 8 again.
4. If it works, hooray, our problem is resolved, go ahead and delete the empty/non-empty folder which you copied on desktop in step 2. If there is a font file(.otf format) which you moved on desktop then ypou can move it back inside the Fonts folder.
5. If it doesnt, then please attach the installer log file which can be located at below location to this forum thread, I will look into it more closely then:
<Macintosh HD>/Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers/"..Adobe Photoshop Elements 8...gz"
<Macintosh HD>/Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers/"..Uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 8...gz"
(If there are multiple log files in the above location, then please attach the one having latest timestamp.)

Welcome window doesn't appear when installing CS5 on new imac

I'm trying to install CS5 into my new imac but after I inserted the Application disc 1, nothing happens. the welcome window doesn't appear. No window to fill in serial #s, etc. Installed Acrobat with no problem though. Thanks.

Thanks for your response Jeff. I'm still getting myself familiar with Lion and obviously handicapped with these tech stuff so pardon my ignorance. I didn't see the DVD icon the way I used to in earlier OS so just assumed it wasn't working the way Acrobat worked (the first DVD I inserted). Now, I transferred the contents of my backup drive onto my new imac and see both CS4 and CS5 transferred into the Applications folder. Does that mean the softwares are installed or do I need to install them through the DVDs? Don't want to accidentally screw up anything. If I just dragged and deleted CS4, does that completely remove it out of my iMac? thanks so much for your help.

Installing CS6 onto new imac from upgrades

Hi
I am wanting to install CS6 onto a new imac via the cloud. The CS6 I have is in disc format and is an upgrade from CS65.5.
CS5.5 is also an upgrade from CS4.
How do I install CS6 onto a new imac when I cant get install the original due to no CD drive? Going mad!!

Hi DonnaOxon,
Welcome to Adobe Forums!
Even if you have the CD version of CS6 you can still download and install CS6 from the cloud. During the installation it will first ask you to enter the serial number for CS6 and on the next step it will automatically ask you to enter the serial number for CS5.5.
The product will be licensed and installed once you enter these serial numbers correctly.
Thanks
Kapil
