I have a new Macbook that doesn't have a disc drive. I want to install my old copy of Photoshop CS5 Extended. I downloaded the program from Adobe's site, but it will not install. This is the message:
Check with the Mac App Store or the software developer to see whether there is an updated version of this app.
Is there now no way to get my CS5 without having to get a disc drive?
Follow the instructions here under Creative Suite 5.5, 5, and 4
Installing Creative Suite on macOS 10.12 (Sierra)
You'll also need apples legacy Java 6 runtime from here
Download Java for OS X 2017-001
And install the latest Adobe Application Manager so when you go to Help>Updates in photoshop cs5 you can install the updates.
Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Macintosh : Adobe Application Manager
update 2022
photoshop cs5 will not install or work on macos Catalina 10.15 and newer mac operating systems.
Even if by some chance you do get it installed or it's already there when updating from an older macOS, it
will not be a pleasant experience trying to use cs5 because apple deprecated running 32 bit apps on Catalina
and later and cs5 uses some 32 bit code for various bits and pieces installed along with cs5.
