When i change my os x 10.5 to snow leopard i have adobe creative suite can i just copy this back from the back up or do i have to reinstall it from its disc?

Hi all
i am finally changing my os x 10.5 to 10.6 late i know, but i was wondering i have adobe creative suite on my mac which i use for business pupouses and i wanted to know if after i change the os x system do i have to re-install these programs from their original disc or can i just copy them back onto my mac from their backup .
thank you for any help

Glad I asked...
I would Strongly suggest that you get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
or CCC http://www.bombich.com/
That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
You will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
(Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)

I have Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection on discs

My old computer died and I need to install on new Mac - but it has no disc drive. Can I access the programs without using the discs?

You can download...

You can also download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Says that i have trial version, when i have permanent adobe creative suite

discrepency

its been activated and registered since early or at least summer 2014. been using it. have cloud update. wonder if i accidentally updated to the trial version . I have version that can be disc back up, but they do not sell it like that any more, its all cloud based. It just recently started saying trial. I have to continue on trial or register my serial key, but says my serial key is invalid. I have adobe creative suite 6, not monthly pay version but the life time cloud supported, payed for by my school. I go on the adobe website under my adobe account and my adobe suite 6 registered with the serial key shows registered to me. the cloud update is the only thing that i can think that would of changed it. may be it will default back to original adobe cs6 when the trial is over. I don't see any other way it would go from being activated as regular adobe trial. I have used it many times between 2014 and now. it didn't show as trial until now 5/3/15. in the cloud it gives an option to click on the cloud trials. maybe I did this on accident or there a gliche when update my permanent programs. I am going to call for adobe tech support tomorrow 5/4/15. this ridiculous that this occurs this easy. maybe its new gliche in there system, because all adobe CS6 programs are cloud supported. Adobe tech support told me this. I would prefer not have to re-install because it was long painful ordeal the first time. It is not cloud subscription. I wonder if I was suppose to the cloud updater at all for non subscription cloud supported programs. ARRRRRRGGGGG!!!

This morning when I tried to open my CC2014 Photoshop, it started to open, then quit suddenly. Same with Dreamweaver and InDesign. I am a professional and do not have the time to screw around with this. When I tried to run CC app, I get an error that says "Adobe creative cloud is needed to resolve this problem. However, it is missing or damaged. Please download and install a new copy of the Creative Cloud from 'http://www.adobe.com/go/adobecreativecloudapp'." I did so and tried to run the app and got the same error. I tried the cleaner and it removed all of my apps, then I tried to install again, and got the same error. I am getting desperate now, I have clients waiting for their projects. I need help, please.

Allisonf55952352 have you utilized the steps listed in Error: "Failed to install" | Creative Cloud Desktop to resolve the current error? If not do you have any questions regarding the steps listed with the document?

My hard drive fried and had to be replaced. I'm trying to install CS4 from my original discs but keep getting this error message - "One or more of the required components of Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard failed to install correctly". A customer service rep gave me a link to download off the Adobe site, but when I try to open the file to run it, I get this error message - "A problem occurred extracting the archive".
Can anyone help?

Yep. Nothing happens at all. Windows tries to execute the uninstaller, but I don't get any other screen and all activity stops for the MSI. I monitored it in Process Monitor and the MSI executable appears, but is quickly ended, like it couldn't find anything or something.
It's as if windows has a blank entry in Programs and Features, because it used to show the size of the Adobe application in the "Size" column. Now it's just blank. Link to screenshot below:

Note the install date. That's when I was able to successfully reinstall it. Now I can't even do that. I should also mention I tried Revo Uninstaller. It deleted one small registry key, but nothing changed.
By the way, is the CS cleaner supposed to ask for a disc in the drive when you run it? It refused to run unless I had one in it, so I used my install dvd.

I made a bootable disc on an external hard drive, with Yosemite on it. I am running Snow Leopard on my iMac. How can I open the Yosemite disc from the desktop on my iMac? Does the external hard drive need to be connected to my iMac by firewire to do that?

Snow Leopard's Startup Disk pref can’t see Yosemite volumes. So the only way to switch from Snow Leopard to Yosemite is to do what Niel mentioned. Doesn't matter whether it's connected by USB or Firewire, although performance via FW would be faster.
Are you saying that Yos/10.10, as a volume located in a mounted external drive won't appear as an option in Snow Leopard's Startup Disc, in Sys Prefs? I've never heard this one before. AFAIK any mounted volume, regardless of OS, should appear there. I would think that, if it appears in the Boot Picker/Startup Manager it would also appear and could be booted to from Snow's Startup Disk. I can't test this myself, since I don't have Yos. Is what you are saying documented somewhere?

When using Time Machine, if I delete items from my computer, will they still be backed up to access later on my external hard drive? In other words, when time machine backs up again, will it delete the files from the back up?

In other words, when time machine backs up again, will it delete the files from the back up that I have deleted from my computer?

No, I do not believe so. Time Machine would keep all those now-deleted files in previous backups, and as time goes by those backups might be deleted if you needed room, but it would still keep one backup from each day in last month, as well as one from each week forever, as long as you don't start running out of room, then just the oldest would be deleted to make room if needed.
I use a backup drive about double the size of my drive to be backed up, so I would guess it will never get to the point where deleted files being replaced by new ones being backed fill up that drive to the point where backups actually have to get deleted.

I had to restore my iMac from Time Machine. After the restoration all programs are functioning except my Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium. When I start any program in the suite the error message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I restarted the computer and tried again to run Photoshop and the same error message appeared. The message was followed by a message that stated that I needed to contact Adobe technical support and mention Error: 150.30. I need Adobe technical support to provide me a solution for my problem so I can continue using my Adobe products installed on my computer.

Unfortunately when Adobe products are restored from backup, especial CS4 and especially Mac, it breaks licensing.
There is a python script included in the license recovery kit that should work if you are familiar with Terminal.
If not, you must reinstall your CS4 suite. You don't need to delete your preferences, so it should be the same as before.

i bought adobe creative suite premium actual cds, with serial yet when i put its serial in to redeem it and download it onto my new mac through your adobe site it says on your site it says my serial is invalid, when my serial is not, it is clear you adobe advertise you can use your old software on new apple computers but clearly this is not the case; forcing me and all to shell out vast amours of money just to use your products i have already bought????.......i will never buy your product again!!!!

Your post makes no sense to anyone. you have not provided proper technical information or version information. rather than going off on a tangent, you may want to read this:
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
