Unable to update CS3 after reinstalling

I own CS3 design premium running on OSX 10.6.8 (not lion)
I uninstalled CS3 using the uninstaller.
Reinstalled CS3 fresh from the disks
Adobe Updater doesn't find any updates.
Looked around online checked my versions through the software.
Indesign 5.0
Illustrator 13.0
Photoshop 10.0
and yet I get this message:
Uninstalled again using uninstaller
Rebooted
Ran Creative Suite Cleaner Tool
deleted folder library -> application support -> adobe
Rebooted
Installed CS3 fresh from disk
Rebooted
Launched Photoshop
entered serial number
Ran updater
Same message as above
I did not disable my registration either time I uninstalled.
I have downloaded the raw update files and they don't work either. I just get the following message.
Any ideas how I can get my software updated?

Randy,
Yes it has happened with other people, but not very case the behavior due to the same set of issues. CS 3 was designed way before Snow Leopard, but generally we can get it to work.
If you are game, try installing a utiltily called Applejack a great utility to have. Beware it runs on the unix shell before the Mac fully boots.
http://applejack.sourceforge.net/
Have it clear all your caches, fix your permissions, and verify and fix any directory isssues.
(You can use Onyx instead it will run under standard OS X, but it cannot repair any disk directory corruption).
I wonder if your system is acting flakey due to some underlying directory problems.

  • Unable to update Mail after reinstall in order to get it work

    Dear fellow Apple members,
    I face a problem which I didn't see coming. Because I screwed my inbox up, I wanted to reinstall the mail application and import an imbox from a backup. I reinstalled it succesfully with the installation disks, but when I tried to open it, I get a message that it can't be opened because of the operating system (10.6.8) and being the original mail version of snow leopard, I thought: just an update would do the trick. That's where the problem lies. I can't figure out how to update Mail, because when I select 'software update' on the Apple menu, I doesn't get listed.
    I honestly don't know what to do.
    Hoping for your enthousiasm and thanks in advance,

  • I am unable to update, uninstall, or reinstall iTunes on my laptop.  Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits.  Error code is 2330.  Can somebody please help me?

    I am unable to update, uninstall, or reinstall iTunes on my laptop.  Everything was working fine until recently when there was an update available for iTunes, and when I tried to update this, I got the message, "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.  This may indicate a problem with this package. Error code is 2330."  Can somebody please help me?
    System configuration:
    Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits.
    Version:  6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
    System Directory:  C:\Windows\system32
    RAM:  1.00 GB.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Unable to update apps after 10.5 update

    I have been unable to update apps on my iPhone since downloading iTunes 10.5.
    I have an established connection in iTunes to my account and can download apps but when I when I click on "# Updates Available" I am asked to sign in again and then receive a message that the iTunes Store is unavailable and to try again later.
    All system software is up to date and I have update my iOS to 5. I am able to connect to the store via my iPhone and update there but do not understand why I can't view the updates on my Mac.
    Please help

    Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
    Step 1
    A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
    Step 2
    If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
    If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
    Step 3
    If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
    Step 4
    From the App Store menu bar, select
              Store ▹ View My Account
    Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
    Step 5
    According to a report, the error can result from changing the language setting of your Apple ID account. I can't confirm.

  • Unable to update iPod after upgrading to iTunes 7.0.1.

    Ever since upgrading to iTunes 7.0.1 from 6.x I have been unable to update my iPod. (60Gb with Video). It says on inserting my iPod a new version is available (1.2) from 1.1.2

  • With PremPro CS3, after reinstalling to correct an error, cannot launch

    I have been using PremPro-CS3 for nearly a year when I bevan to run into several problems of incomplete rendering, not recognizing capture sources, and workspaces being no longer available.  I decided to re-install (or repair) through Adobe's application, and then I could not re-launch CS3 because an error message came up saying the license has expired and to contact my IT Administrator.  What's going on here, as I need to get back into CS3 immediately.

    John -
    Ah, -  interesting that you consider the Preferences file is not removed in the uninstall process.  Because if a new install is actually NEW, where do the Preferences get their previous information to relaunch corrupted ? 
    Because, for example, I noted immediately after reinstall, all previous "Presets" in the project were returned to original defaults, so I must redo those manually. Are not the Presets part of the Preferences file ? 
    Also strangely, if a new install is really new, why does the process not ask to insert a Serial Number ?

    I dont know whats wrong. I have all the latest updates. Does anybody know whats the solution and why after a reinstall I would be experiencing this problem.

    Hi-
    Referring to this post:
    "The AIC codec is installed by iMovie HD and is just what its name implies. Intermediate (temporary conversion from one file format to another).
    Your G4 will not be able to play the file past a few frames per second because of the large dimensions and high data rate even if you did find the codec. You'll find editing it using QuickTime or iMovie a frustrating experience because of those facts."
    I'm a little confused-- do you mean that the G4 computer is just not strong enough to edit HD files "even if I did find the codec"? I was planning to edit it with Final Cut Pro (have never edited a HD project before), but is my computer not adequate? Let me know if there is any way for me to tackle an HD project with my current laptop-- otherwise I guess I really need to look into a new one.

  • Unable to update apps after converting iTunes account from UK to SG

    Hello all,
    I have contacted support ([email protected]), and after being served by countless support staff, none could really explain to me what I should/could do. All they have done after understanding my problem is to point me to "iTunes Feedback page".
    So here's the problem: I cannot seem to update my apps. This all happened when I switched stores. Previously I was using the UK iTunes store. But since I've completed my studies and returned home, I changed my billing information to a Singapore bank. Doing so converted my iTunes store account to the SG iTunes store. Clicking on the "search for updates" in the iTunes App library lists several updates available. But because I am in the SG iTunes store and my apps were previously purchased in the UK iTunes store, there is no way for me to update it.
    The strange thing is that my iPhone and iPad allows me to update any app - bought from the UK or SG store - without any problems. It is just that iTunes is rather picky about updating it. I have tried deleting a UK-purchased app and re-downloading the same app in the SG iTunes store, and two things happen. The first is that I won't get charged, since it prompts me "you have already purcahsed this item". I also notice that there is the "$0.99 Buy App" and not the usual "Download" label. The second is that despite the fact that I re-downloaded the app from the SG iTunes store, it still refuses to update it.
    I'm really getting annoyed at this. Does anyone have the same problem, if so, what did you do to resolve it?

    You need to reinstall:
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Unable to update iPhoto after installing yosemite on iMac

    recently installed yosemite OS, but cannot open iPhoto without update  and cannot find update.

    Its been like this for 2 hours...
    It may be hanging, because you are running out of storage - do you have at least 10GB of fee disk space?
    Or something is interfering with your connection to the App Store - anti virus software, a firewall. If you have any such software running, restart yor mac in Safe Mode and try reinstalling in this mode:  Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
    If that does not help either, ask in the App Store forum.

  • Unable to update, deleted and reinstalled Itunes and my Pioneer DVR 218-L will not run. Install corrupted driver. Have tried to delete and reinstall 3 times 11.1.64 and not working?

    I recently attempted to " update " iTunes and received the missing .dll and Windows error message it seems everyone is posting. I had to delete  not only Itunes, but the Apple update and other associated file in order to get my Pioneer DVD DVR 218-L to work. The driver would not work and Microsoft had no fix for this. It told my registry was corrupt. Apple should certainly fix this problem. Now I cannot run iTunes at all unless I do not want a functioning DVD drive?

    I am having the same issue with Vista 64 bit: After many failed download attempts ("network error") the Progress Bar briefly appears and that's it.
    Searched for solution that led me to running "Microsoft FixIt", deinstalling iTunes, Apple Software Update, Mobile Dev Support, Bonjour, and Application Support - even manually deleting common files that were left over (tough with Vista). No difference. FYI, I was able to get rid of the Apple folder in Program Files (x86)/Common File, but not in Program Files/Common Files ... but that shouldn't make a difference as I am installing iTunes64Setup.exe, right?
    I even tried iTunes 10.7 and 10.6.3 from Apple's support page ... same differnce.
    Had a lot of security updates on 1/22/14 (all related to Office 2007 (including SP3), though). So I tried to restore past this point, but an "unknown error" occurred and I am stuck where I am ... lovely.
    So now my system is chopped and I seem to not be able to get iTunes even close to my computer ... :-(
    Just Irritatedtech said: Any suggestions are highly welcome ... - Thx.

  • Unable to update child after update search criterium of parent

    Hi,
    I'm using JHeadstart 9.0.3.1, Application Structure: BC4J-ServiceFile-UIX.
    I'm not able to update a child-record (child-records on new page) under the following condition:
    - I have a Search-TablePage-DetailPage Construction with a number of level-2 pages for the child-tables.
    - I make a query for a particular parent table record
    - Next I update the field on which I queried so that it does not match the original query-criteria.
    - Next I try to insert a child-record on a level-2 page
    - Error; no child-records saved.
    Is this a known bug/feature? Is there a workaround?
    thanks,
    Anthonie

    Jan,
    As promised:
    The problem occurs in all level-1 pages. After update of a field so that it does not match the original search criteria we see the following:
    1) level-2 pages which had a number of 'new rows' do not show any 'new rows' anymore
    2) Level-2 pages which have an insert-button are not capable of inserting child records. The error returned is:
    Cannot find accessor attribute named ContactenView. Make sure ViewObject FunctionarisView has a viewlink with a Destination Accessor Name that equals ContactenView. If such a ViewLink is present, make sure the MVC Framework process or Struts action that triggered this error (typically GetChildDataSourceSet) specifies the childAttribute in addition to the child resource interface name.
