Using bootcamp to install XP followed by Photoshop and other Adobe products

I just got MacBook Pro and am about to use Bootcamp to install Windows XP so that I can use Photoshop and other such Adobe programs. Anybody, who has done this, what can you tell me about it? Does it work well? How much of a partition do you recommend? Have you encountered any problems during this process? Are there any major dangers involved with installing XP on my mac?

I have done all of the above with No Issues thus far:
1) Boot Camp/Windows partition I use is 50MB for XP SP2
2) I have Adobe Photoshop 7.0 installed
3) No problems on my side
I printed out the Boot Camp/Windows instructions and followed them exactly.

  • Problems installing photoshop and other adobe products

    hey! i recently make a clean windows install. (xp pro) and wen i try to instal photoshop cs3, i run the setup.exe but nothing happens, so i cant make it work,
    and with illustrator cs5, i was able to make the install, but when i try to run it it says to me that there is an invalid image, with a file named AIRes.dll
    any ideas?

    Not much point in your post. You did in no way provide enough info. In particular it would be relevant in which order you are attempting to install and what otehr Adobe products are on teh system. Anyway, based on your post it sounds like you already made a mess of things, so run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and start over...

  • How many computers can I install Photoshop (and other adobe programs on)?

    Hi. I was wondering how many computers I can install a purchased version of Photoshop onto (or other Adobe products)? Can I install one copy onto two systems I own, eg: my desktop and laptop? Or only one total? Can I buy additional licenses for that version if needed? What about with older products Eg: Photoshop 4 Extended, or another?
    Thank you.

    I'll reply to my own post witht his for anyone else who wants it. i jsut chedked out Photoshop 5's system requirem
    ents and just found out yes there are two licenses or more - if you pay.

    Anyone want to add anything: Please do.
    I would like to say that being able to add software onto 2 systems, especially software for productivity and fun, is highly important. This is something Adobe needs to keep doing and a lot of other companies too. Plus it is something some companies need to look into if they can set up the system right. This is one reason I am planning on buying one companies software for music production over the other (which also requires the usb key/lock or company #2's product doesn't work). It is a good selling point for someone like me with a desktop and laptop, cost is a factor with double programs.

  • We need some information about Photoshop CS4 and Other Adobe Products Purchase

    We purchased Photoshop CS4 Extended for our educational use as Volume License...
    When we purchased the following products:
    1. Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended
    2. Adobe Dreamweaver CS4
    3. Adobe Page Maker 7.0
    4. Adobe Flash CS4 Professional
    we only got the "SERIAL NO. (VL) with Licence Certificate". We didn't get any Application CD/DVD media or Manuals.?
    Then we downloaded and installed the product with the serial supplied. product is working fine.. but if Adobe is charging such amount for their product, then the Applicatio Media & Manuals should be issued for the client.
    Why?
    kindly send your valuble feedback about this to us on : [email protected]

    For the past several years, manuals come as PDF files, even if you buy the retail license. Do you hate the environment and want to kill trees?
    Downloaded files should be backed up on a blank DVD.
    Your purchasing agent should have been aware that a license and media are two separate purchases for volume customers.

    Adobe is not 'charging such amount'. You have the cheapest license available and have the same product as a retail user. Appreciate it.

    Hello Everyone,
              I have a MacBook older model with me.I am running 10.7.6 on that, I was trying to use BootCamp to install windows on my mac. Since BootCamp can only work on a single Volume, I partitioned my Hard Disk to one volume.
    Using BootCamp I installed windows and everything worked fine. After installing windows and testing everything, I switched back to OS X and this time I tried to make another partition on my single portioned Mac volume and named it Backup. That too worked. Now I have three Volumes
    1)Development2)Backup3)BootCamp.
    Next when I switched to Windows, It should the classic error, No Bootable device found, please insert a Bootable CD and press any key. When I tried to enter my Mac OS X install DVD and by pressing option key, it does not show me the proper Mac OS X development volume. It keeps going back to the No bootable device found message.
    Any help will be much appreciated
    Regards
    Mithun

    you can't add a partition in between - you put Windows to a new partition number.
    GPT (GUID)
    EFI
    Mac HFS
    Lion Recovery
    Windows
    And now you have two HFS
    One partition and one Windows (plus Lion Recovery).
    If you were to have more, it can't be before Windows for one thing.

  • Using bootcamp was installing windows xp, at the select ntfs or fat format selected "leave the current file system intact." How can that be changed to a correct choice. Mac side opens correctly. Windows shows disk error.

Mac side opens correctly. Windows shows disk error. and doesn't respond to press any key. When looking in the startup disk section, windows on boot camp can be seen, but not selected.

  • Can't Install cc 2014 InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator

    I have tried several times to install the 2014 updates through cc for InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.  I get an installation failed message, Learn more simply says Installation encountered an error.  Please restart your system and try again. (15)
    Restarting and trying again does not help.

    Hi Gianfi,
    I used time machine and took the program folder from before the last Apple update (in april) and replaced it with the new one.
    the same I did with the application support folder. (Go to the library folder on the harddisk, in the library folder you have to open the applications support folder and look for the Adobe folder.
    Replace that folder with the older one from before the latest Apple update using time machine.)
    That helped me.
    When you are not using Time machine you can try to reinstall your MacOS but I didn’t try that myself.
    I hope this will help you.

  • I want to install Japanese version of Photoshop and Indesign.

    I want to install Japanese version of Photoshop and Indesign.
    ButI have installed English version.
    Is this a reason that I can't install?  

    Launch the Adobe Application Manager and click on your name in the top left to the context menu. From the menu choose Preferences and switch the Language field to Japanese.
    You will need to uninstall the English version before installing the Japanese version. Uninstall on Windows from the Control Panel and on Mac OS X by using the links in the folder Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.

    Migration should never be done with any Adobe program.
    If you have done Migration, you have to UNINSTALL first (if even possible) and then download Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and run that also. When this is done, restart your computer and install the programs from an original Adobe Installer.
    Other question is, if your OS is supporting that version. You can try it, it is not officially supported, but it might work.
    But CC will work, upgrade to CC2014 (without additional cost), use that as it is better anyway.

    Hi mansons67992701,
    No purchase is required to install Flash Player.  The offer you're seeing is optional.  There should be a yellow 'Install Now' button on the bottom right of the page. Is the button not displaying?  Please post a screenshot of the page (How to post a screenshot in the forum).
