Having problems uninstalling CS3 on Mac OS 10.6.8

Hi Jeff,
I am also trying to get rid of all my CS3 production suite on Mac ( OS10.6.8 )
After using the CS 3 uninstaller and restart everything is still showing up, though not working...
Do I have to use the cs5cleaner tool now?
And will this allow me to reinstall just CS3 photoshop ( I did not deactivate anything before uninstalling for that reason )

Great. Thank you for your response!
I just downloaded the current Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and selected CS 3 in the pulldown menu, but it only shows Adobe Extend Script Toolkit 2 and it offers to clean all Cs3/Cs 4 ( no option to just select CS3 )
I also have CS 4 installed and and want to get rid of everything except AE: Should I
1. uninstall the entire CS4 via uninstaller first (and reinstall AE after running the Cleaner ) or can I
2. uninstall everything CS4 except AE and then run the Cleaner.
3. Should I run the cleaner ( clean all CS3/CS4 ) first and then take care of uninstalling CS4
Sorry for the specifics, but I already have tried this once using the uninstallers and handselecting all programs (for both CS3 and CS4 ) I wanted to get rid of and then ran the cleaner, but that still left a lot of stuff AND the not uninstalled CS3 PSD did not work any more and could also not be reactivated with my serial... the only fix was resurrecting the entire system/app drive via Timemachine to its original.
I really appreciate your input!

Cut/Paste from Word to Illustrator CS3 for Mac suddenly not working

This issue regards Illustrator CS3 for Mac on a Mac Pro with 6 GB.
Exactly one week ago I created a number of Illustrator files by cutting charts from a Word 2008 document and pasting them into an Illustrator document.
In the past I have dragged the images (or clip art) or simply used Control-C or even Control-X, but by whatever method I opted for, getting the image from Word to Illustrator CS3 has not been a problem.
Yesterday I got a new chart and a request to replace an old image - one that I had created last week on Tuesday by the Drag/Drop or Cut/Paste method.   For reasons I can't begin to imagine the process simply won't work now.
I also find that if I simply select text in a Word Document, hit Ctrl-C and then try a Ctrl-V in Illustrator I don't get to see my text pasted in - ONLY if I already have a text block open and the cursor in place will I get to see the text copied over into Illustrator. This is very strange and not at all how things have worked in the past - typically I would see the new Text Object just appear, and then I could move it to wherever I wanted.
I have opened up a number of old files that I know were created with copied text and also opened the associated Word files (earlier versions of Word) and again find that I can't copy text over, or even move images over - even though I clearly could do this before. I have also tried entirely new files - also with no success.
I was at an Apple one-to-one session this morning and they were more than mystified by this. I can Cut and Paste into Adobe Photoshop Elements, but I can't even cut and paste from Adobe Photoshop Elements into Illustrator CS3.   I can drag the Photoshop file (from the Finder window) into the Illustrator document and poof - get my image that way, but it's as an image only. If the base image in question is a vector image or something else having a plurality of elements, I can't then select the elements in Illustrator to change their color, delete them, or otherwise play with them.
I have brought up a word document on another Mac system that also has Illustrator CS3 and find that it too can't drag/drop cut/paste between the two applications.   At Apple, we did confirm that such ability is operational in the new Illustrator CS4, but none of their store systems still have CS3 to provide yet a third system to test.
I have deleted my Illustrator CS3 preferences, tried flushing the p-ram, and of course run fix and repair permissions - no dice.
My Mac systems update daily and there is nothing in the main update log that shows anything for Adobe or Office (nor do I think there should be). Adobe Update reports that everything is up to date, and I don't see a history file to know what might have changed in the last week.   Office also reports fully up to date and happy.
As I can cut and paste the images into an email for Mail and into Photoshop, I am fairly certain that it is NOT a Microsoft Office 2008 issue. The fact that another Mac with Illustrator CS3 also can't cut and paste suggests that is is really not something personal to my main system.
It is almost as if this is some clandestine "update" intended to encourage me to buy Illustrator CS4. Given that I bought Illustrator CS3 less than a year ago, I really am not eager to buy the new version.   The greeting on the Adobe Support page that CS3 is no longer the current version and therefore supported was most annoying.
I am really hoping that someone out there has an idea of what to try changing, removing and/or adjusting with respect to Adobe Illustrator CS3.

I tried the Select by Path option - can't believe I missed it - and found it made no difference.
I actually uninstalled and reinstalled the whole app. When I tried to simply re-install (can't remember it's exact phrase) it got part way through and then demanded another disk - but I only have one DVD with the application - the extra DVD is for tutorials and it didn't accept that one either. So I restarted that process and chose to completely uninstall. Then reinstalled - hey with only my one disk - gee, just like the first time.   And then it seemed to work.
I was not aware of the save as PDF option - but yes I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac so that option is there - and it seems to work too.
There were of course a slue of updates, and I let them all proceed - but even with them all in place the system is fine and I can once again drag and drop / cut and paste things back and forth.   I just tried a text block and "The Quick Brown Fox" pasted in with a clipping mask about 10 times the size of the document, but other than that it was ok.
So I have things working again on my primary system.   Will try and figure out what's wrong with the other one - but a reinstall might be the easiest game there too.

Can I uninstall cs3 now that I've installed cs5

I'd love to free up space on my HD and simplify my system by uninstalling cs3, but I'm not sure whether that's a good
idea now that I've installed cs5. Is it ok and is there any special precautions that should be taken?
Suggested procedure?

If you have the Mac version, yes, Windows, no. Also with the Mac version there are folders in the Library->Preferences and Library->Application Support folders which are related to the old version. They are extremely small but you can delete them if you want. Just make sure you delete the files related to the old version and not the new one. Most are marked by the version number not the release number, ie: Dreamweaver CS5 = 11, CS3 = 9.

CS3 on Mac and OS X Yosemite 10.10 How do I reach customer support?

I'm running Photoshop CS3 on Mac and updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10 I now get a licensing stopped working alert. It says I need to uninstall and reinstall or contact Adobe customer support. How do I reach customer support?

Adobe does not support CS3 at all. Adobe will not give you the time of day.
Your best bet is to get advice from users here who use CS3 under Yosemite—but you won't fine many of those.
I you do a forum search, you'll see many users who have been advised to downgrade to Mavericks.

LOST TOOLS PANEL in Illustrator CS3 for Mac !

I recently installed Adobe CS3 for Mac on an iMac G5 OS X 10.4.11. Photoshop works great with no problems. However in Illustrator I cannot get my Tools Panel to appear. My "WINDOW" pull down menu in Illustrator only has the following options: "New Window", "Minimize Window", "Bring All to Front", "Attributes", "Info" and "Type". The "VIEW" pull down menu has many options but none seem to open up the Tools panel. None of my Drawing Tools, Shape Tools, Cutting Tools, Moving Tools etc are visible!
I have uninstalled and then re-installed CS3 to no avail. I have tried to reset the Adobe software preferences by simultaneously holding down "Command+Option+Shift+Control" during Illustrator launch, a tip I found online but it also failed to work.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks!

This is what i think is wrong.
i think though you have installed AI three times you have also made an alias of the applications icon, or what you thin is an alias.
But what you probably have done is to make a copy of the application outside of the application folder.
If in fact you do think that you are launching fro an alias trash the alias and not and make a new one by holding down the command and option key as you drag the icon. What you probably did was only hold the option key down which made a copy of the application outside the application folder which could prevent these features from loading.
Now I have also heard there is a software conflict that can cause this but I admit I do not recall what that is.

Uninstalling CS3 after upgrading to CS5.5?

Sorry to throw this query at you all but am unable to find an answer in Adobe support after spending half an hour looking!
I've just upgraded from Web Premium CS3 to Web preium CS5.5 - all good - but the I still have all of the CS3 programmes on my PC. Can I now delete the CS3 suite ok without affecting the CS5.5 progs? I presumed that installing an upgrade would do just that - UPGRADE the existing software and not install a whole new suite along side the old one.
Help appreciated!!
JC

Upgrade does not do that. There is a good reason for keeping older versions of software even if DW doesn't have that need. The best program to think of incompatibilities between versions is InDesign. I've been in the habit of keeping multiple versions of that, or with Photoshop at one point because I could never remember to switch between 64-bit launch and 32-bit launch for some older functions that were not compatible.
All you have to do is:
Mac User - Go to the Utilities folder and there is a folder of Adobe installers in there. Choose the CS3 uninstaller.
Windows User - Go to the Control Panel-> Programs and click to uninstall CS3.
If the uninstaller is not present you may need your old media to uninstall. Or you may be able to clean one version as a last resort ( http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html ).

you just need your serial number and the installation files.

Installed Leopard on new drive, now can't uninstall CS3

I deactivated CS3. Then I installed Leopard on a new drive and it moved over all my stuff from Tiger, including CS3. Of course, due to the idiotic policy that allows you to run 2 copies, but not on the same computer, it won't start. Then when I went to uninstall CS3 using the proper uninstall in Utilities, I got a message that says "System Requirements Error - This software cannot be installed because the file system of the OS volume is not supported". What the heck is that? I have NO way to uninstall CS3? Why the restriction on two copies on one computer anyway? What if your current drive fails unexpectedly? How do you deal with that?

I have a perfect copy of the boot drive elsewhere on my system. I can boot from it in an emergency. But Adobe tells me that the copy of PS CS3 on that drive is not supposed to work. I called because I had the problem where it dies instantly as soon as you start it. I know the copy was good because I just tested that yesterday, again, during my song and dance to get PS on a non case sensitive drive. PS came up and ran from the spare drive I used as an intermediate Leopard > spare > Leopard. I didn't activate it there but did as soon as I was back on the modified Leopard drive and it's fine. I would say from my previous experience that if I were to boot back to spare and try to start PS, it would now die instantly because it's the second copy and hasn't been activated FROM THAT DRIVE. If I try to activate it I'll get some garbage about too many copies - I don't recall what they said exactly. The gist of it was 2 copies, 2 computers - fine. 2 copies one computer - not OK.
You say you had 2 copies activated on one computer? How? In my experience, the second copy dies so fast you couldn't get to activation. I'm not doubting you, I'm genuinely curious how it can work. I'm on a Mac Pro, if that's of any import.

Installing InDesign CS3 on Mac OS 10.9.5 Mavericks

Installation of InDesign CS3 on Mac OS 10.9.5 Mavericks
This question is Not Answered.
s c perks Oct 14, 2014 6:04 AM
1. I have InDesign CS3, which I bought about 6 years ago, and installed on my MacBook Pro. I have now got a new Mac Pro running OS 10.9.5 Mavericks. When I bought the machine I asked Apple if I would be able to install my InDesign and they said there would be no problem. But it will not install. The intsllation fails every time near the end. It installs Bridge and one other components, both of which it calls shared components. But InDesign is not installed.
I went to the Adobe web site and looked up what to do. I got to a page that had my product on and it seemed to be telling make I must download an installer. When I clicked on this link, however I got a page with the following message:
HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
I do not know what to do now.
2. If I do download an installer (I did not need to do this when I first installed the programme on my lap top MacBook Pro 6 years ago, but just installed it from the disc), how do I get rid of the downloader afterwards, since I read somewhere, but cannot remember where, that I should get rid of the installer afterwards but that I should not put it in the trash bin?
Thank you for any help you can give me.
Stephen Perks

Many thanks for your help. I will try this. After posting this question yesterday I contacted Adobe and was astonished to find that they do not sell InDesign and do not support it and that one can only upgrade to monthly or yearly rental of CreativeCloud. I'm afraid for me this is nonsense, and I consider it very bad practice on Adobe's part. I will have to go to QuarkExpress instead if I cannot install Indesign CS3, which I nearly did do 6 years ago, but after reading such good reviews of InDesign and got it. I wish now I'd got Quark! I appreciate your help.

We have version 10.5.8 photoshop CS3 for Mac. How do we fix a problem with photoshop not resizing dpi? For example we resized a 72 dpi image to 200 dpi, when we do a pdf analysis it read as 344 dpi.

Sounds like it's a problem with the Acrobat settings. Did you set them to the same resolution?

Do I need adobe application manager? and what does it do? can i uninstall it on Mac OS X Mavericks?

The application manager provides activation and online features, so no, unisntalling is not an option or else your Adobe software would go defunct.

Dreamweaver CS3 and Mac OS 10.4.11 Incompatability

I have been using Dreamweaver CS3 under OS 10.4.10 for a few
months without significant issues... but after upgrading to 10.4.11
there is a significant problem.
I am unable to access any of my remote servers to upload
files to the sites I have built.
I was able to reinstall Dreamweaver 8 and it works fine with
all the same setups
I've read a technote on a noted problem with Dreamweaver CS3
and Mac OS 10.5 - but it also appears to happen on 10.4.11
You can read the 10.5 technote here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402780

I have not experienced this problem. Try removing the DW CS3
preferences file in your Library and then let DW build a new one.
BTW, what error you are getting when you try to FTP?

Premiere Pro CS3 for Mac quits when exporting

I'm using Premiere CS3 for Mac and I imported several mpeg footage I took with my Sony Cybershot camera. The videos are in 640x480, but when I opened a new project I choose 720x480 DV format. Then the videos were stretched to the DV size.
When I try to export my timeline, the render dialog shows 'compiling...' and nothing happens with the progress bar and Premiere is suddenly closed.
I took one of the videos and rendered it as Quicktime movie 720x480 in AFX, and then I created another timeline with this new video and the export worked fine.
I think the problem is the MPEG format that my CyberShot uses. Am I right?

Yes.

Error message when trying to uninstall CS3

I had CS3 on my older macBook Pro and used migration assistant to move to a newer MacBook Pro. After this my cs3 hasn't been working. I have the software and I am trying to uninstall CS3 by going to utilities-adobe installers-add or remove Cs3 and I receive an error message that reads system error: required resources are missing.
It's been awhile since I did the migration so It would be a huge pain to go back and do this again, so I'm just trying to reinstall the software.
I have considered just upgrading, but I still feel the need to get this old software off my computer.
Please help!
Thanks
