Installation fails on new Macbook Pro

I'm trying to install CS3 on a new Macbook Pro 13 "with the Mavericks retina. All except properly installed Photoshop CS3 applications. Photoshop fails and when I try to run it returns a message that it cannot be initialized because the disk is not available. I tried to reinstall and the installation fails. I tried to launch the old copy of the disc of the previous computer (now in the USB box) and I get the same error message. I tried copying it on to the new HD without success. I tried phone support and they won't help because it's an older version. CS3 is supposed to be compatible with the Mavericks. Since the oldest copy and the new facility to return the same message, I suspect (just a guess), a software problem, perhaps prefs or other files copied over the old installation.

Can someone help me understand what it is and how to install PS successfully?

Thank you!

Have you tried to screw up your Photoshop Prefs?  If you don't know, here is the way:

/Users/ [username] / Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS settings/Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp (you can access this folder by pressing the 'Option' key by clicking on 'Go' in the Finder menu)

Once the trash, empty your Recycle Bin and reboot.  Unless the installation is totally corrupt, Photoshop should start normally.

You can also set up another user account and see if you can run PS from there.

  • Fusion 6 installation on a new Macbook pro with Maverick

    I want to install fusion on my new macbook retina 15 6 inches, will be fusion 6 partition the drive or should I start using bootcamp and installed windows on a partition and fusion 6 I put aside?

    IMO CAD software will work still better installed under one OS natively installed on a physical hardware but with the speed of the processors of our days and the amount of RAM available to the consumer software CAD systems can preform well in a virtualized environment.  The large and more complexed work is obviously performance will be degraded more quickly in a virtualized environment and then when it is running in native mode.  My recommendation would be to test it on a Virtual Machine first and not to activate Windows or CAD software, if possible until you have tested and feel that its performance is satisfactory when virtualized.

    Also note if you use CAD software is activated using a calculated material hash and phones home so if you install it natively under Windows installed via Boot Camp and then choose to run the partition Boot Camp in a Virtual Machine, you may encounter the problem of reactivation of product and may not be able to run in both environments.  I suggest strongly of what you discuss with the making of a CAD software that you want to use before you continue!

  • Restored HD from a Time Machine backup of my old iMac (stolen) from my new MacBook Pro.  Not all the files have been restored.

    My iMac 27 "(2011) so my wife 13 '' MacBook Pro (2011) were recently stolen after our House was robbed.  My wife got a new MacBook Pro and I restored it successfully its data (selected "backup restore Time Machine" during the installation of its new MacBook Pro).  However, I also got a new 15 "MacBook Pro in lieu of the iMac 27".  I have, once again, selected "Restore from Time Machine backup" (selected the iMac as the backup source) when installing my new MacBook Pro.  When it was finally over, I told Time Machine to inherit from the backup.  Unfortunately, none of the files in the My Documents folder or the photos in my photo library have been restored.  Was it a bad idea to try to use the backup of the iMac as a source for the MacBook Pro (both running El Capitan)?

    is it possible that your documents are stored on another drive which was not part of the backup plan? or is the HD in the big enough MBP to inherent the old backup.

    If you open the time machine with the original backup disc, you should be able to browse the content

    If the files are found, you can restore by right-clicking (or CTRL + left mouse)

  • To CS5 updates fail to download on my new MacBook Pro

    I recently took delivery on a brand new MacBook Pro 15 "with Yosemite. I still own CS5 and I installed the basic software and did all the updates to the operating system, but for all CS5 updates will not be installed.

    I open Manager install Adobe, select available updates, I get the download to the end progress, but ultimately the downloads fail.

    Here is what I get in the Adobe Manager:

    Adobe Bridge CS5 update 4.0.5

    There was an error downloading this update. Quit and try again later.

    CS5 Adobe Extension Manager 5.0 updated

    There was an error downloading this update. Quit and try again later.

    There was an error downloading this update. Quit and try again later.

    Photoshop Camera Raw 6.7 update

    There was an error downloading this update. Quit and try again later.

    I keep trying to quit and try again later, still no good. I tried this five times. My internet is good, I just finished the OS updates and downloads, but CS5 updates are yet to be complete.

  • How can I manually transfer files/email to new macbook pro accounts

    I have the new macbook pro retina 13 "and do a clean install from a 2011 macbook pro.  I did basically except accounts e-mail and files.  The two machines are the latest el capitan 10.11.2 worm - two machines have the same version of Mail worm 9.2 (3112).

    I use POP mail - not IMAP - do not use the cloud.  I know the advantages and disadvantages, but it is like that.  I have 5 different email accounts with the files and associated files.

    I have tried to copy the mail and download e-mail to the library files in the same folder on the new computer.  During the opening of the mail on the new computer, he insists on setting up the new account.  I tried to configure an e-mail account.  THEN again by replacing new files in the folder library/mail with the mail from the old computer folder - once, does not work.  I also copied file library/container/apple.com.mail - and all other files related mail can be found in the mail folder.  Once again successfully.

    Yes have you tried importing mail, but this does NOT bring in my records or accounts.

    Any ideas before I wipe the drive and do a migration from scratch - lose the clean installation process.

    Thank you

    The best option is to use the Migration Wizard to transfer your accounts and your files. This will prevent the corruption of the library, which can cause several other problems. And it will not 'eliminate the clean installation state.'

  • New MacBook Pro does not print 2 sides on Photosmart 3210xi

    Signed ol ' HP for the new MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.6 USB cable, and he finds the HP.  Then toured to update software to currently do.  One of the printer boxes display correctly the HP to be equipped with the print side 2 on the back module and checked, but it is not printing 2 sides.  This system has no solid range of choice than Win7 - what is with that?  Someone at - it a method to obtain this HP Print on both sides of the paper?

    Thank you

    Bill

    Hello HP,.

    I found the real solution, thanks to a bad hard drive on a new MacBook Pro, who died just before the spirits high at their altar in the Apple store here.  He was just 12 days old.  They gave me another new MacBook Pro.  While the implementation here at home and to have met with the Photosmart 3210xi he seemed to do ok, but again, it wouldn't make impression on side 2. And not after the MacBook made the update either.  So I tried the manual visit to HP - no help.  Unplug the printer and uninstalled the printed stuff.  Stop. Started and went to HP and downloaded the driver 10.3 me connected and turned on the printer when the installer wanted.  Printer worked and printed 2 sides.  The MacDonalds its software update and thinking, I saw something strange about one of the dialog boxes, all when trying to print after the update: 10.2 Driver. What?!  And no 2-sided, once again.  Fact the entire removal and install Driver 10.3 on but without having the MacBook again the software update. Now it prints 2-sided.  

    I'll tell Apple about it.

    In the meantime, it will help if HP would update what list you provide to Apple for their updates, which would help. Thank you!

  • I just got a new Macbook Pro when I reinstall my CS4 Master Collection everything works fine, but I can't get Acrobat 9 pro to get the serial key

    I just got a new Macbook Pro when I reinstall my CS4 Master Collection everything works fine, but I can't get Acrobat 9 pro to get the serial key

    OK, it worked. Someone suggested dismantling drives all connected. In fact, no luck. But while all the disks were taken out and closed all applications I uninstalled Acrobat Pro using the application in the folder Acrobat Pro. Then I went back to the installer and have already told him only to install Acrobat Pro. Once done everything first, I opened Acrobat Pro. He asked to install some extras and I said no a few times. It opened and worked on a test pdf. With her still open I tried to open Acrobat Distiller. He did not ask a serial number, but I wanted to just install an extra. I said no again and it finished opening. Wanted to be my default PDF application but an extract which is better so I said, person not the last time. He has worked to create a perfect pdf of an Illustrator EPS. Hope this works for you also.
