Trying to install an Adobe Application on my New Mac Pro????

I just purchased a new Mac Pro. I got it mainly because I want to be able to use programs like After Effects CS3 at fast speeds. I have like 5 gigs in my computer right now so I'm excited to get started. Only thing is......my version of After Effects CS3 was acting weird so I decided to Re-install it. I threw the unwanted After Effects Install in the Program "App Zapper" which supposedly erases everything associated with the program......essentially you're supposed to be able to zap yourself CLEAN of the program.
When I tried to reinstall the computer told me that I can't install because it thinks its still there?? aAre there remnants of the program to remove so the installer doesn't think its on there??? Where are they??? I tried to find anything named After Effects CS3....I can't find anything??? Any Advice

Hi Keith Middlemiss;
I had a very similar thing happen to me with the PS CS3 beta. I removed it and attempted to install the real version when it came out only to be given an error message about it still being on my system. Finally I went to the Adobe forum and discovered that there was an uninstall script there. Once I ran that then CS3 installed without any problems.
I was looking around on my system for tracks of this script but I was not able to find any.
My suggestion would be to go to the Adobe forum and check around for uninstall scripts. While I do like the Adobe applications, I hate the way they way they stick stuff everywhere in your system.

    It appears to me that you would need a boot device with 10.5.6 already installed, and to NOT be running any Westmere features (such as 6-core processors) to have any hope. Also, drivers for 5770 and 5870 first appeared in 10.6.5, so getting your displays to work may be tough.
    Custom 10.6.4 or "Full Retail" 10.6.5 is much more likley to succeed.

  • Re installing Final Cut Studio on my NEW Mac pro?

    I originally purchased Final Cut Studio (on a G5 Power PC), Then installed the universal crossgrade,
    then installed Final Cut Studio 2. Now I have a New Mac Pro (Intel Chips) How do I go about
    reinstalling FCS? do I need the original serial key from the first version or do I just use my
    FCS 2 serial Key?
    J>H<L

    J>H<L
    You'll need both keys, but you only have to do one installation.
    The FCS2 installer will ask for the FCS2 key. If that passes, another window will open asking for the FCS key. If that key passes, then it's just a normal installation.

  • Error Code 201 and 213 when trying to install any Adobe application / Update my Creative Cloud Desktop App. Have tried troubleshooting with Online Chat Agents, no luck.

    I have been trying for 2 days now to get this resolved.
    Computer hashard wired internet connection, running Windows 7 Home Premium. No other issues with downloading or uploading from any other sites or programs. No other network issues reported on other computers.
    It started when I went to install Lightroom through my Creative Cloud. It prompted me to update my Creative Cloud Desktop App, which I went to do and then promptly got Error Code 201. I restarted my Creative Cloud and then skipped the update, hoping it was just an issue with that specific download. I clicked to install Lightroom and the same thing happened, Error code 201.
    I restarted my machine, and tried again. Same issue.
    I contacted Support. They had me go in and change a bunch of folder names to and add "old" to the end of them and then had me try using the Adobe Cleaner tool, which did not work. He had me go in and change some internet settings, still nothing. Same issues as before, only now with all the renaming of things I cannot even open programs I had previously been able to open like Photoshop.
    He instructed me to reinstall the CC Desktop App because the Cleaner tool was not recognizing that it existed anymore (probably something to do with renaming files.. just saying) and now I get the 201 Error when I try to reinstall the CC Desktop App.
    I ran out of time and had to stop after being on with them for over an hour.
    Today I contact back and was instructed to create a new user account on my computer and try downloading and installing the application in the new user. Same errors. 213 at first, restarted my computer and then got Error Code 201 again.
    I am getting really frustrated and really behind on my work. Any information someone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Currently waiting for a chat person to be available again.
    Thank you for your time and assistance.

    Meowia for Error 201 please see Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html.  Error 213 indicates there was problem locating the update or an incorrect URL.  The troubleshooting steps are still the same as both errors are related to failure of the current network connection.

  • Trying to install Sims 3 from disc on new Macbook Pro

    I've had the Sims 3 on CD ROM (for Mac and PC) for a few years and recently upgraded from an old white Macbook to a new Macbook Pro (the non retina display one). I pop the disc in and click install, but it always freezes on "Installing 3 out of 237 files" and never moves. It says "about 17 minutes" but won't move even 40 minutes later. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get this thing to work?

  • Installing ssd 512 GB on my new Mac Pro Westmere 6 cores

    I bought a Mac Pro with a 2 TB HD. Now i am buying a SSD 512 GB. Can someone tell me how to transfer my OSX 6.4 system and all my application. I would like to boot from that SSD i run my application from that SSD, so it would be faster. And i would leave the HD to store photos, films, etc. My precise question how to do this... I read the Mac Pro guide, but nothing is expliained.
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi-
    You could clone the existing drive to the new one using SuperDuper!.
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    You could also install OS X on the SSD and then use Migration Assistant to transfer the applications over.

  • Cannot install Final Cut Studio 7 on new Mac Pro

    I've just purchased Final Cut Studio 7 (Academic edition) for my Mac Pro (brand new G4 running 10.6.2), and it refuses to install. When I start the download package I get an Alert:
    "Final Cut Studio Installer requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card."
    and just quits. I looked on the specs online (http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/specs/) and it states that I need
    "ATI or NVIDIA graphics processor (integrated Intel graphics processors not supported)"
    I have 2 NVIDIA graphics cards, both GeForce GT 120. Are these not Quartz Extreme capable video cards?

    First of all you don't have a G4. A G4 is an obsolete computer that doesn't run Final Cut Studio.

  • Install 'SATA cable connect' Velociraptors in new Mac Pro????

    hi everyone,
    I need some help please. A specific question regarding Western Digital Velociraptor hard drives:
    I have three of the 300GB 'SATA cable connect' model Velociraptors. I installed them into my PowerMac G5 2x2.7ghz computer without difficulty but I want to move them. I want to install them into my soon-to-be-in-hand Mac Pro (2x2.93 quad-core Nehalem).
    Can I do this or do I have to buy 'backplane ready' versions of the Velociraptors?
    This is the address to WD's page on the ones I want to install...
    http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?DriveID=459
    (sorry it's not hot. I've a strange 'cut and paste' malfunction happening today...)
    Your help's appreciated.
    thanks,
    JQ

    There is an adapter so it will line up inside.
    Some have put one or two in the lower optical drive bay in the past.
    Ideal is black-plane ready which came out slightly later.

  • Trying to install CS3 Design Premium into my new mac and  the download is giving error message. New mac has no cd capability fro download r I would use it. I have the serial number....Can anyone tell me if there is another link?

    clear your adobe.com cookies or use a different browser.
    or if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  Download Adobe CS4 and CS3 Free Trials Here (incl. After Effects) | ProDesignTools
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
