Upgrade from CS4 to CS5.5. did not go smoothly, now stuck at CS5 - how do I fix the installation?

Hi There,
I had a lot of issues upgrading from CS4 (Adobe Application Manager crashing, installer not opnening etc) but managed to get the installer to run by using the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to remove all traces of CS4.
However, when the installer finished, it stated there were errors and now the installers won't run - nor can I run updates from the CS apps that did install.
I've normally never had any issues upgrading, so am not sure why I had so many issues and the best way forward from here - Hoping I don't have to remove all the CS5 apps, use the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool again and start from the begining.
I'm trying to install Master Collection CS5.5 on Mac OS 10.7.2
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Have had to hang up as I was calling the US using a New Zealand Mobile while in Portugal (long story) - and the 11 minute wait time would've cost the same amount as the CS5.5 upgrade!
I had to call the US because:
The New Zealand support number listed on the Adobe site doesn't work
New Zealand is not listed as a country Adobe suppoprt will call back from the "Schedule a callback" page
What a joke.
I used the Adobe Support Adviser app to analyze the install error log and it provided me with a very helpful link to a support page that states "You can ignore this error and launch the products you were installing."
Unfortunately, nothing was installed.
I need to do work while a long way from home and can't use/install any CS5 apps - does anyone know how to install CS5 in Lion?
Cheers

  • Upgraded from PE9 to PE12: ratings did not transfer on organizer

    Upgraded from PE9 to PE12 and the ratings and tags did not transfer to the organizer - or maybe they are there, but I do not know how find.
    I also upgraded from Vista to Microsoft 7. Do I need to uninstall the Vista version and reinstall,  or is there a different solution?

    When you installed PSE12 and opened the organizer, you should have been asked to convert your catalog. That would have created a new catalog with the contents of your old catalog; that old catalog being still available to PSE9. If, instead of letting the conversion automatically take place, you have simply imported your pictures into the new empty PSE12, the tags and captions are not recovered (unless you specifically 'wrote metadata to files' in the PSE9 organizer).
    Now, use the menu file/catalog (Ctrl Maj C) and click on the  'convert' button. Check the option to show already converted catalogs. You should see your PSE9 catalog and start the conversion.

  • IPhone 4 upgraded from iPhone 3GS but Apps did not synch after restore...

    I have had every iPhone since the very first one - call me crazy... and each time a new one has come out, all I have needed to do is take it home, restore from last back up and voila - all good. This time, no so good - I took the new iPhone 4 home, plugged it in, restored from backup, then selected to synch my iPhone. Now, admittedly, I have 21.4 GB of music, about 4800 songs (which is why I bought the 32Gb phone, again) and it takes quite a while to restore and synch the phone. When the initial synch was complete, iTunes had only copied my music, movies, pics, etc, everything EXCEPT my APPS! So I spent about an hour organizing all my apps into folders and moving them around, then I synched it and all was good 4 days ago. Last night I went to synch my phone and received several errors stating that the phone could not synch and that some files were missing, so I restored from backup, again, and resynched, again, and this time, like last, all my apps were not installed, but only some of the folders were... Am I doing something wrong or is there a trick to get this to work... or maybe some of the apps I have need to be trashed?
    Thanks in Advance,

    I need to ask, just in case, but are you certain you have enough room for the apps? It seems like you do, but you might have synced some videos or movies that prevent the apps from syncing.
    You might have some corrupted Apps too. Don't synch any apps you don't need, and then try again. You're going to have to take some time to sort through it all.

  • My Firefox no longer works, it will not go to any website and offers the message "The proxy server is rejecting connections". I had the same problem in IExplorer but was able to fix it. I did not choose a proxy server, ever. How do I fix this in Firefox?

    I changed out my wireless router, from a Linksys to a Netgear. Everything seemed to work fine, but shortly afterward Firefox could not be used to find any websites, and gave me the message above. The same happened with Internet Explorer, but a tech representative for my ISP directed me to the page where "proxy server" was incorrectly checked and it fixed the problem. I don't know where to go in Firefox to find the same or a similar page. My laptop continued to work fine for some time after, but eventually developed the same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, with no luck, and all desktop shortcuts based on Firefox are inoperative. I just keep getting the message that the proxy server is rejecting connections. Since I did not select a proxy server, I don't know how to deselect it.

    No idea what "tried everything" means.
    Here is how you troubleshoot a password problem.
    Go to your email providers web mail page and verify that you have a working username and password by logging into your account there. If you cannot log in there, look for the link to reset your password. Your email password is administered with your email provider.
    Once you have a working password you need to remove any stored passwords in Thunderbird and replace with the new, working password.
    From the menu bar select''' Tools-Options-Security-Passwords-Stored Passwords'''
    Remove the passwords for the problem account. Close Thunderbird and restart it. You will be asked for a password. Enter the new password.
    No menu bar with Tools? Press the '''alt '''key.
    FYI: Thunderbird settings are stored in a different file from the program. Removing the program and reinstalling just keeps you busy for a little while and rarely fixes anything. As you have seen the old settings are picked up when Thunderbird is reinstalled.

  • I had my computer worked on and did not back up my itunes library.  how do i put the songs on my ipod back to the itunes library

    I had my computer worked on and did not back up my itunes library.  Now the only music I have is on my ipod.  How would I put the music on my ipod back into my itunes music library?

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You should always maintain a backup copy.  This is very important.

  • I have firefox 6.0 and the cache was recently deleted from my computer. I did not delete it and I was wandering if anyone knows why the cache would be deleted entriely? I just upgraded, does that clear the cache when you update?

    Please do the following.
    Click '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''. The option to update should appear and version 3.6.17 should download and install.
    However, sometimes things go pear-shaped and you get version 3.5.19. If that happens, repeat the same steps to update to 3.6.17.
    Once you have 3.6.17 installed, you'll get the opportunity to update to the current version which is 4.0.1 ''Please don't do that for the moment because you first of all have to update your plugins''. To do the latter, please do the following.

  • After I download ps cs5 it did not open , it crashed I think so  how to fix it and open it , thank you

    it says " check online for a solution "

    Click the Spotlight magnifying glass icon top right corner of your screen.
    Type in:  Safari
    See if multiple Safari apps show up.
    If there's only one, delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • When I re-installed iTunes, it said it did not pass the "Windows Logo" testing for Windows XP.  It did not install everything because of this.  How do I fix this?

    This is why it does not recognize my iPod Classic (it can't sync my iPod because it can't be found).  Why does the Windows Logo test fail for Windows XP when trying to re-install iTunes?

    On an XP system, that can indicate trouble with the Windows OS dlls associated with Cryptographic services.
    I'd first try the fixit from the following Microsoft document.

    please help

    I've about had it with this iTunes thing.
    Diane,
    If you are looking for MP3s, I don't know why you've been shopping at the iTunes Store at all.  They do not sell songs in MP3 format, only AAC.
    Why not look at other online music download retailers such as Amazon MP3 or Google Play who sell MP3 music.

    Yeah, thread title says it all. I'm stuck on the screen with the USB plug and the iTunes logo and nothing works.

    Apple's servers are slammed right now with iOS 7 downloads AND activation requests.
    Be patient and try again later.

  • MAC UPGRADE FROM CS4 STANDARD TO CS5 STANDARD OR EXTENDED

    Hello,
    I'm interested to find out how to MAC UPGRADE FROM CS4 STANDARD TO CS5 STANDARD OR EXTENDED. Its my intention to buy the upgrade not thru
    download, but purchasing the dvd's needed eventually used if necessary.
    Thank you

    No, forget it. Adobe only sells current versions. How would you even be able to buy a used upgrade that is tied to someone else's previous version? Makes no sense at all and is clearly a breach of the EULA - whoever may sell you this "upgrade" would have to include all his previous versions leading up to that point, making it a completely independent full license that has no relation whatsoever to your CS4. And you would still have to run the license transfer drill.

  • I upgraded to ios6 on ipod touch and after I completed a sync on my PC but I suppose it did not sync, because now it will not restore from a back up and wants to restore from another account that I have saved.  Can I some how restore from the apps?

    I upgraded to ios6.1.3 on ipod touch and after I completed a sync on my PC but I suppose it did not sync, because now it will not restore from a back up and wants to restore from another account that I have saved.  Can I some how restore the apps to avoid having to pay for them again and having to recreate settings?

    As I said, the backup that iTunes makes does not include apps (and music) if those items where not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you restored they will not be on the iPod.
