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.

    What should I do? I've installed them before, but uninstalled them both. Now I am getting the following error. Thanks! Any help will be appreciated.

    It is difficult to determine the point of failure from your install log summary.  I would recommend reviewing the install logs in their entirety to locate the exact error.  You can find details on how to accompplish this at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

  • 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 CS6 on Mac OSX lion

    I bought Photoshop CS6 extended and am trying to install it on my Mac OSX Lion v. 10.7.4 and I keep coming up with the install error of:

    This comes up after I get the install bar and it only makes it to 1-2% installed.
    What can I do so that I can install the program on to my computer. I know that I have more than enough free hard drive space for the program (based on its requirements).

  • 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 Photoshop 5.5

    Hello,
    I am having trouble installing Photoshop 5.5 on my PowerPC. I have the upgrade disk, and the required Photoshop 3.0 disk (however, it's in Windows format). It asks for evidence of a previous version, such as a disk. The screen also says that if necessary, I can eject the 5.5 disk in order to insert the disk, but it will not let me, saying that it can't eject because the disk is in use! Thus, I cannot install PS 5.5 because I need the 3.0 disk, which I can't put in! Please help!
    Thanks,
    Abby

    Hi, Abby. I've never heard of anyone updating a Windows version of Photoshop using a Macintosh updater, and it would be a big surprise to me if that were possible. The Mac updater expects to find a previous Mac version of PS installed on the Mac, complete with a proper Mac serial number. Finding nothing of the kind, it will probably never be willing to do anything for you, even if you manage to get past the chicken-and-egg problem described in your post. In short, I suspect your Windows version of Photoshop can only be updated after you install it on a Windows machine, and then only to a higher version of PS for Windows.
    If you could get Adobe to swap your Windows PS 3 disc for a Mac PS 3, 4 or 5 disc, then install the Mac version, and then run the Mac PS 5.5 updater, I think you'd be in business. But I doubt that Adobe will be interested in doing that.

  • Can not install photoshop CS2 on Mac OSX. 10.9.5, It shows "error" no error number, suggest to contact the software supplier, only choice is to quit.

    I tried to install Photoshop CS2 on Mac, OSX, 10.9.5.
    By the end of the installation, it shows, error, but no error number for reference,
    The only choice is "quit".
    Please help

    That is correct Das_Sad.  CS2 will not run on Intel based processors under Mac OS.  You will need to find a Mac computer with a PowerPC processor if you wish to run Creative Suite 2.

    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.
    Regards,
    Anubha
