Install CS2 on Macbook Pro
I just bought a new Macbook Pro (OSX 10.8.3) running and tries to install CS2, but problems. I talked with Adobe support that directed me to a download site (https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2%5Fdownloads) where I downloaded the installation files (5 in total more than PDF). When I go to install I get an error message "Cannot open the application"Adobe Installer"for PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
What gives? I kind of get it that Adobe does not support the older software, but if I had known that the purchase of new computer would make my obsolete CS2, I would not do. I was fine with CS2 and does not need to be upgraded because I had all the features I needed. I paid a lot for it at a time and do not want to drop another $1 + to return to what I had to do before.
Anyone have any ideas on how to remedy this situation? I'm really out of luck?
You are out of luck I'm afraid. CS2 is designed to run on a PowerPC not an Intel Mac. License Apple software called "Rosetta" which has allowed PowerPC software to run on older versions of the Intel Mac OS x, but it has not been supported since OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) for OS x 10.7 (Lion) and OS x 10.8 (Mountain Lion) cannot run CS2. CS3 is the oldest version that will work on your Macbook.

Your firmware of the machine is too new to run the older version of Mac OS X.

Problem installing CS5 on macbook pro no CD slot
Hello
I have Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design standard bought in France in 2010. It was installed on my Macbook Pro 2010 but I just changed to a MacBook Pro retina Yosemite 10.10.2 and there is no slot to insert a CD. I would like to install the software from the adobe Web site, I registered both by using serial numbers, but I don't know how to download CS5 on my new computer. I already uninstalled Adobe CS5 from my old computer, as I probably only a single permit.
I would appreciate help!

You can also download the demo version of the software through the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Don't forget to follow the steps described in the Note: very important Instructions in the section on the pages of this site download and have cookies turned on in your browser, otherwise the download will not work correctly.

If you do not turn off the product before you uninstalled it you should contact Adobe Support by chat and ask them to reset your activations. Normally, you get to have two facilities enabled so that you do not have to, but it before install and activate the new installation will facilitate as much as to always have an extra activation available if you wish to have a second facility somewhere.

I have PS 4, 5 and 6 is installed on my Macbook Pro and Lightroom 4 and 5. Can I remove PS 4 and 5 and 4 LR? PS 4 is the entire plant and PS 5 and 6 are updated. LR 4 is the complete package with LR upgrade.
I need space!
First of all, let me disabuse you of a misconception: Adobe all upgrades are FULL installers. If you buy upgrades or new versions does not have one iota of difference. Upgrade installation programs do not need to find a previous version installed, they invite you just for the old serial number as well as the old one and they are not based on the old version in the slightest.
Second, the time to uninstall an earlier version is BEFORE upgrading to a newer version. If not, uninstall older versions will mess up with your new installation. There are a gazillion of the files that are named the same and in the same locations as the other.
Your best bet now is to uninstall ALL versions of Photoshop, you have it installed, including the newest one, one by one, and then run the Adobe CS clean-up tool, and then run repair permissions of the Apple desktop utility and finally reinstall the latest version.
The other alternative, if your boot HD is quite large (very questionable in the case of a laptop as a Mac Book), is to leave all the versions on this subject.
Your choice.

Yes you can install it on your new Macintosh. If it doesn't have an optical drive, you can copy the contents of the installation media to a USB drive and then install the software from there.
