I recently purchased a MACBook Pro laptop (OS X 10.8.3) and want to install the CS4 I purchased several years ago. I have the installation CD but unfortunately, there is no CD/DVD drive on the laptop. How do I install the CS4?
View 5 RepliesI am running the latest version of CS 6 on an older (2008) 15" Mac Book Pro (OSX 10.8.2), when I'm away on assignment. The original 200GB hard drive needs to be replaced and in preparation I've cloned the complete system onto an external hard drive. I'll be replacing the original hard drive with a larger (1TB) version and can clone everything back onto the newly installed hard drive when it arrives.
But in the "test" I tried today, PS CS6 would not open. How do I go about installing my legally obtained and paid for copy of CS6 onto the new hard drive? Do I de activate the present version, then download a copy to the new hard drive and activate it that way or will that be seen as a third machine, since I have one copy on a desk top and once on the old hard drive in the Mac Book Pro. I just don't want to loose a CS6 activation?
My photoshop's installer is not mounting. I can hear the disc running in the macbook, but nothing happens. I'm using lion, and its my first time so i don't know if its the same as on snow leapord.

I have downloaded it but when I try to install the message says 'Installation failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.
I keep trying to install the trial version of Photoshop CS6 on my macbook pro (version 10.6.8) and I was able to download it fine from the download assistant. Once I tried installing it, however I kept coming up with the same error. First it says that the images couldn't be opened because of an invalid checksum, then if I opt to skip that step it comes up with a window letting me install it which I do but once it hits 44% it jumps to 99% and says installation failed due to an inauthentic certificate, saying "Adobe Genuine Software Verification Failure."

It goes up to installing Adobe Air, about half way through the whole installation and then stops. I have tried resetting the permissions- I'm installing in the root user account. This was what Adobe tech had me do to successfully install LightRoom 2 first and then an update. The update was more compatible apparently with Lion.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a new PC and I am installing PS CS6 and LR5.
I installed it on a different drive because my C drive only has 8gig left (my C drive is an SSD and I only have the OS on it).
Now when I try to open PS, it gives me this error: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005)."
LR is now doing the samething (bridge works fine). I tried rebooting, and a few times they both opened right after a reboot. Then I would close them and re-open them and I got the error....now it seems to NOT work every time I try.
Was this because I didn't install it on the C drive?
how I would install the RAW codec for CS3? I looked at the instructions, but I do not have "c:Program FilesCommon FilesAdobePlug-InsCS3File Formats" since my Photoshop is installed on the D Drive. I tried adding the plugin to "D:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Photoshop CS3Plug-InsFile Formats" but that didn't seem to do anything (after closing and reopening Photoshop, it still says that it can't open the file).
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy Dell laptop crashed about a year ago, and I was able to have the hard drive backed up to an external. I now need my PhotoShop CS which is on the external hard drive. I need to know how to install PhotoShop, and others in the creative suite, from the external drive. I am having a problem figuring out which files need to be installed first, i.e. .exe and .dll files.
The hard drive is an iMicro 3.5" SATA and IDE HDD
I am currently running Windows Vista, Gateway Notebook
**I can not find the original Creative Suite cds; I think they may have been "accidentally" thrown away by someone other than myself.
I am going to install ps5 on a new computer, but it is no CD drive on the new. I was thinking to download CS5 from Adobe, but I cannot find it.

View 6 Replies View Related1) I'm unable to designate an internal drive as a scratch disc (non boot drive). Drive is clean, empty, I've chkdsk'd, permissions set to full, I can read and write files on it, and I'm able to designate it as scratch for Illustrator but PS6 doesn't like it. Says I don't have access.
2) I upgraded to PS6 extended (cloud) and after a week it now hangs during startup at loading Nik Color Efex Pro 4 plugin. Hangs for about 3 minutes before continuing.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhile changing the media drive in Smoke setup via commenting out the current drive isn't a complicated process, I personally would find a more streamlined option useful. Something on the startup screen would be great: select project, user, media drive. When using FW800 drives, I typically try to have a discreet project drive that has everything on there for the current project. With the larger Thunderbolt raids, I am going back a little to the old system of having active storage and archive storage. However, when thunderbolt prices come down, I'll most likely have a separate drive for each project again.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI moved images from my harddrive to an external drive.
I opened Lightroom.
Noticed there was a question mark by the photo folder I needed.
I synchronized the folders. Nada.
I rememebered I moved the images (first line ^^)
I re-imported the images from the external drive into Lightroom.
These images (other than one that was marked previously with a blue label) look completely untouched - completely original files - even though I spent hours working on them.
I am glad the images weren't deleted BUT re-doing 600 images will be a MAJOR FAIL if I can't figure out how to import the images with the settings / developments I did beforehand.
I have about 900 raw files on an external drive. I edited those files using my master catalog using a laptop while still travelling. When I got home, I copied the master catalog from the external drive to the desk top, then opened the master catalog on my desktop. I can see the edited images on the external drive. So far so good.
I want to copy (add) the edited images to my desk top. I tried to export the images as a new catalog and then import it into the desire location on my desktop drive. However, LR5 does not allow that. I get this message: "There is nothing new in the catalog you have selected. All of the catalog's photos are up to date in this catalog." Yes, but the edited images are not on my desktop.....
I also tried to Import from the external drive and then Copy the files to the desktop, but then I lose all of the work done in the develop module and the keywords.
I watched Kost's LR 3 video on merging catalogs, but she dodges the question of how to deal with this issue since the "merge" is within the same catalog.I'm using LR5 with Windows 7.
I'm copying RAW files from a shoot onto my network RAID drive in a per-album folder, from where I then import into a new LR catalog (I'm using LR 4.1) on my Windows laptop for that album.
I'm finding that editing RAW files on a network drive from a wireless laptop is awfully slow (not to mention not being able to continue the work offline somewhere else), so I'd like to cache those files on my speedy SSD drive just until I'm done editing and exporting/publishing that album.
I back up my per-album catalog onto the network folder alongside the RAW files since that's my IT-managed master repository. When I'm done editing, I'd purge the cached files and just keep the catalog previews on my limited capacity SSD.
So, is there a way to tell LR to, for one/all files imported from a location (in my case a network folder), look in an alternate location for the identical files? Since I create per-album catalogs in per-album folders, there wouldn't be filename clashing. Either LR can provide this caching behavior on its own or I'd manually copy files from the network folder to a local folder and tell LR to look there first.
I don't really want to make copies of files into secondary folders within LR since then it's a hassle to merge edits on the cached copy to its master copy (I haven't done this, but I'd imagine so).

View 10 Replies View RelatedOn my early 2008 Macbook Pro I keep recieving an error message for not having enough RAM from PS CC. PS CS6 works fine and has always, however with CC I keep recieving this error message at times even before I open a single image. Once its starts I cannot even File>close PS
I have done the preferences erase, and tried to see how to switch from 32/64 Bit (Which I could not figure out how to do as it is not in my "Get Info" tab) to no success.
How does moving files off my C drive affect Lightroom's ability to find them? I have flagged and labeled files - will they still be flagged and labeled? Will I have to import them again?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am considering a MBP for all my photoshop work. Currently using Photoshop CS6
From 2007-2010 I had my old MBP (late 2006 model). Then in 2011 I was using the 2011 iMac, 2.5ghz, 4gb ram. I sold the iMac as I felt more comfortble with the laptop in terms of working anywhere and anytime. Also for some reason I just strangly enough found the iMac a bit sluggish compared to the smooth performance I had with my old MBP. I mean the iMac is fast, way faster than my old MBP, However I do think that it may have been due to the wireless Bluetooth mouse that I was using.
I run psd files that have a large number of layers and can reach a size of 3-4gb per file while processing and when saved and closed upto 2gb. I rarely use filters, but when i do, its mainly the blur filters and then sometimes the others.
15"
I am considering the 15" MBP base model but bump up the RAM to 8gb... I wish it were more than 8 though... and getting a SSD drive of 128gb... too expensive other wise and this is enough for my work files as I have 2 additional backups on external HDs.and VRam of 512gb with an anti glare display.
13"
I like the size & portability of the 13", but the lack of a dedicated VRAM is putting me off. I could always get an external display later if the need be, however what about VRAM... its shared right? How will that affect CS6 performance?
I would like to really bump up the RAM but the only option i have is 8gb. Also I hope to use this system for another 3-4 years alteast if it does not have any other issues.
Currently, I have a 15" Windows laptop that I've been using CS6 on, and I love it. However, for other, unrelated reasons, I am committed to buying a Mac, and I would like to switch to using it completely.
I'm NOT a gamer, and most of my usage is made up of basic browsing and Word documents (I have A LOT of files to store). I've bought CS6 for Mac, but I need to know what Mac to get. I DON'T want Retina Display (no matter how good it is). My choice is between:
13" MacBook Pro without Retina Display
2.9GHz Dual-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM — 2x4GB
750GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
OR
15" MacBook Pro without Retina Display
2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz
4GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
...but I don't understand the physical difference between Intel Core or RAM or processing at all. I really like the sleekness and easy-carrying that the 13" provides and it fufills all my other needs, but I don't know how Photoshop will run on it. I use Photoshop mostly for GIFs; school; and home projects; so I don't think my screen has to be too big. Will it work okay, or do I NEED at 15" Mac?
i have installed the photoshop cs6 extended version on my macbook pro 2.26ghz Intel core 2 Duo, 4GB ram, but doesn't appear the 3D commands on it.
