AE CS3 not for PPC!!!

HI, i want hereby to express my disappointment about the performance of AE CS3 on PPC macs.
I have a Quad G5 (2,5Ghz) with 4.5 Gb RAM that worked very well with AE 7. Now that i use AE CS3, as soon as i render (even a simple comp with sequenced photos, it slows down the whole machine INCREDIBLY.... What's this Adobe? Am i the only one in this situation? Am i doing smthg wrong?
It really seems cs3 version was written for Intel and NOT for PPC. It's a bit of a scandalous issue, i think...
Can i get some fee back...?
Thx
Federico

Yes... right about the last Intel macs... that is kinda logical...Luckily they are faster than G5...!
About upgrading my hardware... well, sure, it's always the solution.. but that's what i find a bit rude, since my Quad hasn't 2 years yet... So, what's the solution: spend 3000 every 2 years...? + of course a new laptop as well, so a nice 6000 biennial...? hmm.. not in my financial possibilities...
Finally, i must say that i have the same G4 Pbook as mentionned above and CS3 runs quite ok, not killing my workflow... I have Leopard on it, Tiger on the Quad... maybe an issue... but still, the Quad works bloody well with AE 7... so, HW is ok... just not adapted to the new softwares... (or is it the opposite... :-) )
I rmber anyway the years i enjoyed pretty well my G4 MP 450Mhz between 2000 and 2004... The good old times, when Apple was doing a lot for pros and quite less for the whole family and pets...
Of course, don't take me wrong, i love the macs, own 3, advise them all the time, teach all their majors softwares... and surely will even buy a iPhone when 3g...
thx for the answers anyway!

  • Serial number not working on cs3 download for mac

    I downloaded cs3 through prodesign tools but my serial number is not working does that mean I installed it on too many computers. I only have it on my old desktop now which I'm using to print from my epson 3800 and I'm a little scared to uninstall that. Can I just use the cs3 trial for now and enter the serial number lately. Will  the cs3 trial mess up downloading the cs5 trial? Thx, Mark

    What message does it fail with, specifically?  That would help answer your question.
    If you can no longer deactivate your Photoshop CS3 license from an old system because it's no longer running, you may well be able call Adobe's customer support line and get them to reset the activation information in their server database for you, by explaining your situation to them.

    Can you activate CS3. If you lost your serial you can retrieve it from Adobe.com. Sign in at Adobe.com the use this link https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html When your Adobe Product list is displayed click on your CS3 product your serial number should be displayed.

  • Issue with Surveys/Checklist in SAP Sservice Manager 4.0 for PPC Platform

    Hi All,
    I am working with SAP Service Manager 4.0 application . I was checking the Surveys functionality in the standard application and came to know that the surveys functionality is not available in PPC platform.
    However it is present for Iphone/Ipad platforms.
    After a detailed check I found that the button which initiates the survey List screens are available in iphone/ipad but not in PPC . where as the Surveys List screens is available for all the 3 platforms iphone/ ipad / PPC .
    Is this a issue in the standard application or the Surveys is not included for PPC platform.
    Please clarify
    Thanks and Regards
    Neha Mahanty

    The surveys functionality was not included for PPC platform in the Service Manager 4.0 release.  There was I beleive a technical issue that prevented it from being included.  It may be included in a future release.

  • Flash Player 8 for PPC

    Why isn't there a Macromedia Flash Player version 8
    compatible for the PPC? YouTube use version 8 for it's FLV content
    and my Audivox 6700 is plenty fast enough to play the video and my
    network is plenty fast enough to stream the content. Now I see ads
    for the iPhone showing YouTube playing on that little media darling
    and I am wondering now whether Adobe is not releasing a player
    compatible with YouTube on purpose. It's been over a year now there
    is no excuse for this delay.

    > Hi, Have been using flash player 7 on my ppc but the
    video quality is
    > really
    > bad as it does not use the ON2VP6 codec. Also one cant
    see youtube coz it

    I think Adobe has moved away from Flash Player versions for
    Pocket PC, and
    is instead concentrating on Flash Lite for PocketPC. So I
    don't expect to
    ever see Flash Player 8 for PocketPC. Look instead for Flash
    Lite updates,
    applicable to later versions of PocketPC OS - maybe WM 5 and
    6 or later, at
    a guess.

  • SWAP?  CS3 Win for CS3 Mac

    I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium for Windows, and I recently moved over a Mac platform.  I am not in a position to upgrade as yet to CS4, so looking for someone who may be in the reverse situation who may want to swap a CS3 Mac for my CS3Win.
    I purchased my version as a download, so basically all we need to exchange are serial numbers, or happy to zip up the files and place online for you to download if necessary.  I am happy to do same in reverse, or receive a boxed version if that is easier.
    (Adobe only offers a cross platform exchange for current versions.)
    Please respond here if you are interested, and we can make arrangements.
    regards
    Geoff

  • Photoshop CS3 not 3 crashing

    My mistake, sorry, it's PS CS3 not PS3.  I did load the Canon Software for EOS and the Wacom tablet software and that is all I can recall doing on this computer before opening Photoshop.  Any suggestions would be great, need to fix this fast so I don't get further behind. Thank  you!

    ahh, but this is not always the case!  In my situation, I am routinely sent to the main forums page.  I have multiple tabs open, however the main forums page is NOT one of them.  There really seems no rhyme or reason to it.  I have cleared my cookies, authenticated sessions, cache and recently even did a full cleaning of old files, temp files and a full defrag and I still inconsistently get the issue.

  • JVM for PPC

    I dont know is this the right place for it but I have to ask. I'm in need for Java 1.4 for Linux on PPC, but it seems to me that nobody is doing the porting(in fact I'm sure). www.blackdown.org was doing the porting of java on other platforms, but they will not do this. So because I and my friend are willing to do this port for PPC could anybody give me a hint who to ask for this. Please any kind of information would help!

  • CS3 Save for Web bugs - No answer from Adobe in all forum posts

    I just upgraded to Illustrator 13.0.02 and the problem is the same: Slice names and output settings are not remembered/saved like all previous AI versions.
    I don't understand why this post was closed: CS3 Save for Web Problems
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3bc41aeb.
    and this one: "Save for Web" names of frames vanish
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc4cd31/2
    It is the same as: AI CS3 - Save for Web & Devises image name problem
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3c057eab
    Concerning slice name: It looks like they now have to be saved via drop down menus in order for Illustrator to remember the slice names for export again: "Object - Slice - Slice Options, and then in Save for Web, set the Output Settings for Saving Files"
    In my opinion this is incredibly poor UI design. In prior versions of Illustrator, I would save the names in the Save for Web dialog box by simply double clicking the slice frame, and it would remember the names of my slices for export again.
    Clicking through drop down menus just to name a slice is inefficient compared to just double clicking a slice frame to name the slice.

    This is a bit of an old thread, but I too have recently discovered this problem in working with AI CS3.
    I contacted Adobe support with the question. I asked them why it was not possible to select and optimize individual slices in the Save for Web and Devices dialog in CS3, and then maintain those settings after saving the slices or clicking "Done"... even though that very feature was available and working in CS2.
    Adobe's answer was, quite simply, that they have ceased any development on CS3, including bug fixes, and that anyone who wants the problem fixes would have to buy CS4 in order to "fix" the problem.
    In short, they are quite aware of the problem, but would rather have us pay for a new product in order to have it fixed, than to pay a programmer to spend a few hours or a few days in tracking down the problem and getting it sorted out. This is their short-term solution to a long-term problem.
    There is a workaround to the slice naming, as you have found - name the slices from the Object - Slice - Slice Options menu. It's a royal PITA, I know, but it does maintain the slice name settings.
    However, there is no real workaround to save the optimization and output settings (such as color tables and JPEG/GIF/PNG settings) for each slice. It's a completely broken feature, or in Adobe's own words, "a problem". A big fat bug. Let us not mince words here - it is technical and corporate incompetency. Technical incompetency can be excused - publishing a new build will fix the problem. But corporate incompetency, which tells the programmers that they don't need to fix the problem for "marketing" reasons, is totally inexcusable.
    It doesn't cost Adobe anything to just shelve a problem... at least, not now. But I refuse to buy Illustrator CS4 as a result, because I don't want to give in to their ineptitude and lack of attention to the customer in this case. Which costs them more now, to pay the programmer to fix the error and then publish a new build on their web server... or to tell the customer that the problem won't be fixed and to buy the newest version? You do the math. Read 'em and weep.
    Makes you want to migrate to Fireworks for web comp design, doesn't it. At least Illustrator has an excuse - it's an all-purpose vector graphics application, not specifically a web comp design app. If this were Fireworks, on the other hand, I think that there would be oodles of furious programmers screaming colorful obscenities at Adobe's front door.
    I really like Illustrator for what it does, but I'm not using CS3 for any more web comps after this.

  • OS X 10.4.11 and Safari 3.04 for PPC--What Happened to My Bookmarks?

    I have tried everything with the new Combo Updater to 10.4.11 for PPC but I can't get my Safari 3.04 to keep any Bookmarks. I eliminated AcidSearch 0.62 and Safari Extender 1.6.6--neither of which works yet with 10.4.11 and Safari 3.04 for PPC--but even when I import my Bookmarks from a copy on my external hard drive, even when I replace the username/Library/Safari/bookmarks.plst and the username/Library/preferences/com.apple.Safari.plst, even when I try the stand-alone download for the updater instead of the Software Update method, none of it seems to make any difference. I can't keep any Bookmarks. Does anybody out there have any other suggestions?

    Hi Mark,
    I looked at my YourUsername/Library/Input Managers and saw 1PasswdIM but have not heard anyone else giving that as a problem. Could this be the issue?
    I must admit I haven't heard of it causing problems so far as well (and can't see an immediate connection to your problem) but I would try moving 1PasswdIM onto your Desktop to temporarily disable it. Restart Safari to make it pick up this change.
    I can't imagine deleting all of those just to get my Safari bookmarks to work.
    Me neither. Sorry, I forgot lots of other apps add temporary information into there as well. Some of the Safari helpers add information here as well - skip the Application Support folders for the moment though.
    /Library/Input Managers, I have Chax, Ecamm, and SIMBL (whatever that is).
    SIMBL is used by many developers to allow Safari input managers to work correctly. As before, move the contents of this folder to your Desktop and restart Safari.
    With both the Input Managers empty, does Safari handle the bookmarks correctly now?
    Let us know how you get on.

  • Getting ahold of MacOS X 10.4 for PPC

    I am running a G5 (PPC) on MacOS 10.3.9 and one of its applications no longer supports this OS - so I will have to upgrade to MacOS X 10.4 for PPC - Where can I get such an exotic piece of software cheaply? There are plenty of Tiger 10.4s for sale used - but they seem to be mostly for Intel mchines. I have Leapard installed on an ext-drive but the PPC architecture doesn't recognise the Intel drive.

    Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but is still available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A and M9639Z/A . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray). The eBay auctions usually end at a price higher than $129.
    Also check this web store http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521
    Possible Alternative - OS X Tiger 10.4 Upgrade DVD $74.95

  • Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

    Help... Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

    Because many of the camera makers slightly alter their versions of their raw format whenever they release a new camera model.
    Nikon does it, Canon does it, and also several other camera makers.
    There is not a single version of NEF that all Nikon cameras use, nor a single version of CR2 for all Canon models.
    Here is a list of supported cameras and the required ACR plugin needed to open the raw files.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Versions of ACR are specific to each version of Photoshop.
    Older versions of PS cannot use the latest version of ACR.
    You need to download the latest version of Adobe DNG Converter.
    This will convert your newer 7100 files to DNGs that can then be opened in older versions like CS3.
    Be aware DNG only works on folders of files, not individual files. Select the FOLDER not a single file
