My MAC PRO OS 10.7.4 does not recognize the installing disks for creative suite 5.5.
Can I get a downloaded version instead?
Are the disc's simply ejected when you insert them? If you have another computer with a working optical drive you can copy the install files to a USB drive and install the software that way.
If you wish to continue with looking for a copy of Creative Suite 5.5 then I would recommend reviewing the Prodesigntools.com site referenced in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369.
