Photoshop :: Move Adobe Installation From Mac To PC
Sep 26, 2012
I'm trying to move our Adobe installation from Mac to PC, but I ran into a path problem. A lot of our publications/documents in Adobe Photoshop have linked to pictures in the filesystem (Windows 2008 R2 server). It goes like this:
DTP:Pictures:September:Picture1.tif
And is linked like this directly from Adobe.On the PC I cannot use that path notation and have to go like this:
F:DTPPicturesSeptemberPicture1.tif
When the publication/document in Photoshop have the Mac link "hardcoded" the PC path will not work. Is there a relatively easy way to get the Photoshop on PC to use the Mac link or does one have to change all the "hardcoded" links in the publications/documents?
I am doing a website for a client whose logo font uses a font that I think is by Adobe called Sacker-H The designer sent a zip file containing about 5 files, one of which is AdobeFnt07.lst The others are .bmap files. I am clueless how to intall these on my system?
I am trying to install Photoshop CS 3 and Illustrator CS 3 on a OS running Windows XP Service Pack 2. When I use the setup file, windows invariably gives me an error. It's a generic windows error that suggests you to send a report file to Microsoft - I'm running Windows on russian language and therefore not sure of the exact wording.
Both setups have been known to work before. Note that the windows installation is relatively new, so it's therefore possible I'm missing some system files.
Application manager shows an update to 13.0.2; installing gives the aforemention error. This same error has presented itself previously with extensions manager. The workaround was to download directly from adobe and install - which worked for EM. Does not work for photoshop. Checking for updates within Photoshop CS6 extended finds no updates.
Per the update page, this update provides support for retina displays which sadly is not on my current MBPro. It seems the similar errors are migrating to other installers now. It wouldn't be so bad if the past workaround remained.Naturally, this could be a problem not well commented, as the Illustrator update provides a "not applicable" to this machine response.
I am generating a panorama from 24 RAW files (three rows of 8 images each) using Photoshop Auto Align and Auto Blend Layers and need more control over which image it selects from overlaping images. This image is from the Snake River Overlook and one image has a raft in the river and the overlapping image does not. I have run the Auto Align Layers using all five of the options (Perspective, Collage, etc) and all five show the raft in the river. When I run Auto Blend Layers the raft disappears in all but the Auto Align run using the Collage selection. Is there any way to exercise control of this so the raft does not disappear?
I have scoured the forums and I see no discussion that addresses my particular error. For starters I have a Mac, not Windows.
Here's the error from the log:
- 0 fatal error(s), 2 error(s), 0 warning(s) ERROR: The following payload errors were found during install: ERROR: - Adobe Bridge CS5_4.0.5_AdobeBridge4-mul: Install failed
I'm following this Adobe guide on troubleshooting but have no clue how to address this. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop 3 times.I am also getting similar errors for pixelbender and Camera Raw:
The installation of Adobe Extension Manager CS6 failed - while 2 others update for Photoshop CS6 did install. I was installing Adobe Reader X. That's why I discovered the notification from the application manager about updates for CS6 - and I just confirmed that as well.
Apparently the Reader installation blocked only the update installation of Adobe Extension Manager CS6 - saying another installation process was running ... such stuff happens sometimes.
However, it seems Adobes Application Manager update module does not track its failed installations? It does not automatically advertise that update has not been installed and notifying me again to install it. At least not immediately.. So how do I rerun the Adobe Application Manager update module to check for updates manually?
I'm running Windows 7 Professional. After updating to the latest version, the app crashes on startup with the message "adobe illustrator CC has stopped working". I need to be able to continue work on projects, so I need to downgrade to a version of Illustrator that will work.
This is on a completely fresh installation of windows 7 x64.Before installing Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection x64 autoplay for my camera works, after installation it does not work. If I uninstall it, it works again.Where is this program disabling autorun for devices. Autorun for flash drives works fine, its just the non-volume devices that are affected.
I tried using gpedit and reg keys to re-enable autoplay for the camera but it does not work.When I plug my camera in, I can still go to my computer I can get my pics without any issues, its just that this is bugging me.Don't think there is an answer out there, guess I just need to not be so OCD with this stuff.
Asus motherboard, i7, 930. 24 gig Kingston HyperX ram. Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. 5 SATA hard drives: 3 are WD 7200s; Driive C is a Plextor SSD and Drive G (where LR and Photoshop are installed), is an Intel SSD.
I've had LR 3 and 4 and 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3. I have several hard drives. All the LR programs are installed on my G drive.
This time when I installed the update to 4.4, it did install on the G drive, but instead of creating a folder in Program Files, all the files, including the executables, simply installed in a long long row under Program Files and under the folders for the previous versions of LR. It did indeed install 4.4, but it's a mess and I can't figure out why there was no folder created.
When going into LR my copyright is gone and all the various styles of copyright I'd created in the Watermarks folder are unavailable. I also have 2 Nik Filters and 2 Topaz filters - they too are unavailable from the upgrade to 4.4. I also had a plugin for Zenfolio which is also missing and I can't find any plugin folder. Where is the plugin folder supposed to be?
It has never been clear to me which folders are supposed to reside on the same disk as the main LR program and which folders can be kept on another drive. Perhaps this is part of why I lost so much information.
I do have backups and I've been able to retrieve a lot - but I would like to be able to have the correct folders in the correct directories and drives. For example, when I updated to the new camera raw and dng, it was installed on my drive C, as it usually is. But the LR 4.4 files installed in a big list, although fortunately on the correct drive. And I have to reset all my settings, all my watermarks, my plugins and my filters.
Why did this happen and what can I do to repair it properly both for the best functioning of LR 4.4 and to not have this repeat itself with the next upgrade.
I downloaded the Photoshop CS3 trial... I finished extracting and I click on Setup. Then a window pops up saying, "Initializing Adobe Photoshop CS3". Then the window closes.
Here are my specs:
1gb Ram Intel Core 2 Duo 256 MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 Windows XP Media Center Service Pack 3
After I installed Photoshop CS4 trial, it failed to install Photoshop, but the rest were successful. I went to get more information and this is the message:
Adobe Fonts All Error: Error 1603. Error 1907.Could not register font . Verify that you have sufficient permissions to install fonts, and that the system supports this font.
Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack Error: Error 2.
I’m getting the following error message when ever I try to use Move Tool and the program gets close. “Adobe Photoshop CS6 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available”Video card driver is updated.
I can open Adobe Illustrator fine, but as soon as I select an object, before I release, the software crashes; if I'm lucky I can move the object, but before I release it, the software crashes.
On my Mac OS X (2010), running Excel 2011 and Adobe CS6, I'm having major issues with the points in a scatter plot not rendering as vectors once moved to an Adobe program. The entire plot will transfer as a vector, except the data points themselves! Oddly, even the shapes in the legend are vectors! When I save a plot from a powerpoint presentation as a pdf, the data points look pixelated in the pdf. When I copy paste the plot into illustrator, same thing. It is totally infuriating.
I had Photoshop CS6 installed and working on my Mac using Adobe Creative Cloud. However now a dialog appears that says "Help Improve Adobe's Product". Regardless if I approve this dialog or not Adobe Photoshop starts up with every menu option grayed and I can do nothing. I have to force quit the application. At this point it is 100% unusable.
I've googled it and seen others with a similar issue but no solutions found. I have OSX 10.8.3.
Others with similar issues. URL....No real solution other than don't use Mac Keeper (which I do not) URL....
Product: CS4 64 bit: Adobe Output Module-Adobe updater downloads 2 updates 75.9mb (Camera Raw 5.3). After download and permission to continue under user account control, I receive popup menu advising me that Installation Incomplete, close Adobe Bridge - 3 choices, which always fail. My Adobe CS4 and Bridge are not open. I tried this several times with the same result.I downloaded the zip file, saved, unzip, and still get the same notice - close Bridge.
It looks like the same 2.3mb file that the update program is trying to download. Once the update is started it just keeps trying to download that file until I cancel the update.
I am using the trial version of CS5 (probably going to upgrade at the end of the trial), and I've only found one thing about it that I don't like more than CS3. This is VERY VERY annoying, and I'm not sure if it's a glitch, or just a preference that needs to be reset:
When using the move tool, I will move something and it will just snap back to where it originally was. When it snaps back, it might move a few pixels over in the direction I was dragging, but it is definitely not moving to where I want it to go. The only way to get things to move the way I want to is by Free Transform...but it's annoying, when you're trying to design a layout, to have to free transform every element you want to move, first.
I'm guessing that this is a glitch because sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't...it's pretty random. I've tried turning Snap on and off, and nothing changes.
I'd like to ask you what it is different between the ImageReady CS2 and Adobe Photoshop CS2, I am very confuse about them, they looks not different for me.
If i want to chose one of them for design webesite, which one is better?
I'm installing PS CS4 on Visat 64-bit. The first time I tried installing it the setup stopped when it was loading the Language pack for Device Central. I started the installation over again and removed Device central from the install and then started it again. This time it got almost to the end of install but it then stopped again when it was trying to install the Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack_x64.
Has anyone else loading CS4 had this problem in Vista 64-bit?
We have a copy of Adobe Creative Suite 2 installed on one computer that was recently hit with a trojan. The software is still on drive D and is intact. The software was activated a long time ago. Drive C had to be reformatted and the OS reinstalled because of the trojan.I'm trying to reinstall the software since the old registry is gone. I was just going to reinstall over the old version. Since this is an upgrade, it wants the Photoshop 5 CD. We don't know where this is, but we do have the old serial number. When we installed this a few years ago an Adobe tech had us enter a secret keystroke that brought up a box that we could enter the old serial number. I don't remember this keystroke.Q1: Does anyone know the keystroke to enter the old serial number instead of having it search for the CD?Assuming I can enter the old serial number and get past this screen, will a reinstall trash the activation? I do not want to re-activate the product since I assume it will not let me do so. The software was installed and activated on this desktop and on my laptop. I assume it will only let you activate twice. The activation directories are there along with the DAT files, howver.Q2: What can I do to preserve the current activation?And no I can't follow the instructions which would be to launch Photoshop and go to the Help menu and choose Help > Transfer Activation. I can launch Photoshop, but I get an error ""Your Adobe Photoshop user name, organization or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit." The old registry is gone since the OS was reinstalled.
I purchased a Spanish language copy of CS4, having trouble installing the program. gets the following message:
The program says "es imposible instalar algunos componentes esenciales de Photoshop CS4, para continuar con la instalación presione Continuar, para detener, presione Cancelar"
"Some essential components of Photoshop CS4 are impossible to install, to continue installing press Continue, to stop the process press Cancel"

presses "continue" and afterwards he cannot open photoshop because the components are not properly installed.
been trying to install Photoshop CS3 and having great difficulty, it will only install the shared components and nothing else, Ive gone through all the tutorials on the Adobe help pages and still not had any luck, I've tried looking through the log and the only thing I could come across is the following:[ 5028] Sat Apr 11 00:41:19 2009 ERRORDefault installation language not valid, falling back to first supported language.[ 5028] Sat Apr 11 00:41:19 2009 DEBUGcouldn't find any info on the error code or anything, ive uploaded my installation log
I have just obtained Adobe Design Premium CS4 for Windows.
I currently have CS installed. I have lots of additions to Photoshop (e.g., filters, and many brushes, CSH, textures, etc). What is the best way to upgrade to CS4?
(1) Delete existing CS2 then install CS4? I prefer this to get a clean install but do not wish to loose any of my additions.
(2) Install CS4, assuming that it automatically delete old version, preserve customizations, and install the new version?
After installing CS4, shortly after its introduction, everything went well, sort of. The GPU feature wouldn't work with my older graphics card, I think. At least it wasn't one of the tested/supported cards. Then, my D drive (storage and scratch), started not being seen, intermittently. After alternating the cables and moving the drive, to test it, with help, we determined the mobo might be the culprit. Anyway, I decided to do an overhaul, and upgrade my pc.
With the first re-install of Windows, using a quick format, Windows fought us, and Photoshop took 4, count'em FOUR tries to install. After a week processing pictures, and fighting the occasional crash, which had never happened to me before, and the issues mentioned by others regarding GPU, etc., I decided to do it all again.
Did a full format of C, re-installed Windows, smooth as a baby's.....well, you know. All running smoothly, so far.... fingers crossed, toes crossed, etc, etc.:)
Before the re-build, I cloned the C drive, as everyone says to do, after de-activating both CS3 & CS4. (BTW, I only installed CS4 on the 'new machine'. Before the 2nd go round and full format, I cloned the C again, to a different folder, both times on the D drive.
Now I'm ready to re-install PS. My questions:
Should I do anything with the cloned folder(s) on the D drive beforehand?
Should I do only CS3 and wait for anticipated patches for CS4? (CS3 always ran smoothly, never crashed, etc.)Or go ahead and install both?
Are there any elements of CS4 I should NOT choose to install?
If a clean install of CS4 occurs, with no hiccups, that is, am I likely to have fewer issues than the first time?
Are there any other issues I should be aware of, or things I should do?
As you probably can tell, I'm soooo not a computer person.
my new system has EVGA 750i SLI mobo, 9800 GTX+ graphics card, Intel core2 quad Q6600 processor, 4 GB OCZ Reaper 1066 memory, 600 w power supply, WinXP pro, 32 bit.
I had photoshop cs2 9.0 ((with imageready and bridge)) installed on my old windows XP computer and it's program size came up to 250 something MB. I recently got a new Vista computer and downloaded Photoshop CS2 tryout ((file size 362 MB)) and put in my old serial number and everything and it installed//activated online just fine. BUT the size of the installed program is now mammoth and much bigger! I checked it in the programs list in control panel and it comes up to a whooping 7.62 GB in size o___O;;
I just wondered what accounts for the significant increase in size as it's the same version I had before. I guess I'm just wanting to know if this is normal? Does it have anything to do with the settings i chose when installing the software? x____X;; sorry again if this is the wrong place to post this, I just don't know who//where to ask.
