Adobe CS5 is an older version of Adobe's Creative Suite, and Adobe has since discontinued support and distribution for it. As a result, the official Adobe website no longer offers downloads for CS5, and it may not be compatible with newer operating systems. Additionally, using outdated software can pose security risks and lack access to the latest features and updates available in newer versions like Adobe Creative Cloud.
The "CS" stands for Creative Suite, which Adobe started after the merger with Macromedia in 2007. It was intended to merge the key Adobe and Macromedia programs into a single suite version (for Print, Electronic, and Video/Film media). The original version was just Adobe CS; as the programs have evolved over the years, Adobe has released newer suite versions, the latest being CS6.
Photoshop is a digital image editing program from Adobe, CS5 means it is part of the 5th creative suite Adobe has released. Other Adobe CS5 programs include After Effects and Premiere. You can also use Photoshop CS5 for 3D painting. It has more options available to you than CS4 and less than CS6.
The iPad requires applications (known as apps) that have been specifically created for it. Adobe's Creative Suite (CS) software is not available as an iPad app. You can use Flash CS5 running on a computer to create apps for the iPad.
