as illustrated in the picture. I then save the info: but would not allow me: I was getting a message of ” THE DOCUMENT HOST COULD NOT BE SAVED, YOU DO NOT HAVE APPROPRIATE ACCESS PRVILEGES” and then bellow that message was ” To view or change access prvileges, select the item in Finder and choose FILE>Get info.

I don’t know what do to.. any suggestion.

Took patience and attention to detail! After a few setback it turned out that the serial in post #399 fixed it! Works Great!

btw Gl1tch: you have to follow the direction at the top to enable the root user (username will be root), it’s the only way to save the changes!

So I followed all of the steps, enabled the root user, copied the code in text edit, everything, but it won’t let me save the file. It says I don’t have permission. What did I do wrong?

I have to agree to the terms and conditions and input the serial every time, any suggestions on what I did wrong and how to fix it?? Thanks in advance.

It is actually not a big problem to disable Adobe Updater. All you need to do is to execute the Adobe_Updater.exe file that is located in the Program Files Common Files AdobeUpdater6 directory on your hard drive. The application will perform an update check and notifyyou about updates. The updates won’t be installed however until the user clicks on the “Download And Install Updates” button.

A click on Preferences will load the configuration screen. Unchecking the “Automatically check for Adobe updates” box will do the trick. Mac OS X users can basically do the same. The location of the Adobe Updater program on their system is /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities/Adobe Updater5/.

I’m on the brand new i5 macbook pro. I downloaded CS5, used the sn that came in the torrent, blocked ADOBE mothership in the host file and it works! coolio! it took less than 5 minutes. that’s because there was nothing in the cash — brand new machine and all

I’m just afraid to update in case everything crashes. has anyone tried updating?
thanks so much for saving me $2000! i was on cs original. it doesn’t qualify to be updated legally, so ha!
Marcos, admin, you guys are really, really helpful and patient!
