Can I install OS9 on a Brand new iMac to run Photoshop 6.0.1?

Hi there;
Today I purchased a brand new iMac. I have been installing my old applications and found that I cannot install Photoshop 6.0.1. The following is the message shown:
"You cannot open the application "Install Adobe Photoshop 6.0.1" because it is not supported on this system"
My old iMac is a G3 and runs on a Panther. Can I install Mac OS 9 on this new Mac so that I can install Photoshop 6.0.1? If yes, how can I do it?
Regards.

Hi KP4ABC;
Since the official position of Adobe is that they are no longer supporting PS 7 at all, I would think your chances with PS 6 are right up there with the snowball in that hot place. In order to get anything that works with any reliability you will have to upgrade, probably to PS CS3.
I have to say that PS CS3 is a significant upgrade over PS 7 which is as far back as I go with Photoshop.

Why can't I open iTunes on brand new iMac?

My wife has a brand new iMac running OS X Lion. She already has an iTunes account which she accesses on a year old iPad. She can not access her itunes library or even get the page to open on her iMac. Going to Finder - Applications, shows iTunes as one of her apps but it will not open. The iTunes icon is on her task bar but all it does is bounce when clicked on. The bar at the top of the window has switched to itunes ( showing controls- File, View, Edit etc) but no page opens. We are both newbies, are we missing something obvious?

Since it's brand new I'd call AppleCare and let them walk you through it. They will have you try things and you can give immediate feedback and they will take you to the next step. That would take us too long here. Apple's service is very good.

MEGA ISSUES INSTALLING CIV IV on brand new iMac running Windows 7!

So, ya. Basically, my father got a brand spanking new iMac (Second least expensive level currently on the Apple Store). He runs Windows 7 through BootCamp on it because he needs it for his work. So, taking full advantage of that fact, I set myself up an account on the Windows side and tried to install Civilization 4.
Everything went fine, until....
It froze halfway through installing and I had to power down the computer. Upon rebooting I tried again. To my surprise, after putting the "Install CD" in I saw that the "play" button had replaced the "install" option (why am I putting quote marks around those two words?) Anyhow, I clicked the play button and it was all like "BLAH BLAH BLAH FOLDERS CANNOT BE LOCATED!".
So I searched through the computer's hard drive and deleted 3 empty folders, the only Civilization 4 folders that came up when I searched for the game...
Then, I tried again. No luck. Now after clicking play nothing at all happens.....
Help?

Hi,
maybe this one can help http://www.2kgames.com/civ4/support_install.htm
I also noted that Windows 7 (neither 32-bit nor 64-bit) is mentioned in the system requirements of Civ IV as compatible.
So maybe that can also be the cause.
Hope it helps

Can't install OS9 (so as to download iMac Firmware update). . .

this is crazy. i bought my dad Tiger, to instal on his G3 Mac. So I did the media exchange and got all the discs. but couldn't instal Tiger because I needed to update firmware. which i downloaded. but couldn't install firmware because i only had OSX on his iMac. I have the Mac OS 9 install disc, but it won't install. so i'm stuck. it would cost me 45 dollars to get the mac people to help (they would if we were just talking about Tiger). As the wicked witch said, "what a world, what a world..." can anyone tell me how to install the OS 9? I held down the C key, but there was no destination disc showing.
iMac G3 Mac OS X (10.1.x) need to install OS 9

Hi, Peter, and welcome to Apple Discussions. Most likely the reason there's no destination disk showing is that when you installed OS X previously, you didn't select the option to install OS 9 driver on it. Therefore, even if the disk is working perfectly, OS 9 can't "see" it, and the installer can't install anything on it.
I've never been an iMac user, but it's my understanding that many people who've installed OS X on G3 iMacs before updating their firmware have gotten into a world of trouble that way, some of them ending up with completely nonfunctioning iMacs. You (and Dad) may have been very lucky so far. That may apply only to higher versions of OS X, though; I'm not well enough informed to be certain.
To push your luck any farther, you may need to boot to your installer disk for the already-installed version of OS X (10.1.x, according to your system info below), and erase the drive again using the Disk Utility for that version — NOT the Tiger version of DU — and this time make sure the OS 9 driver option is selected before hitting the Erase button. I don't know of any other way you can get that driver installed. If you don't land in hot water just trying to do that much, you should then be able to install OS 9 and update the iMac's firmware. After that, you'll be free to install Tiger.

I can't install Windows 8 on my new iMac

Hello
I have some problem with install Windows 8 on my iMac. After using Boot Camp, and making boot camp partition and create boot USB flash, iMac is restart. After start install Windows 8, I see the blue screen and the following message:
file:\windows\system32\boot\winload.efi
error code: 0xc0000359
And I have the question. What is happend, and how resolve this problem
Thank's

oldman,
I would also suggest re-posting on the Boot Camp forum, that is where most of the Boot Camp and Windows gurus hang out. This is a general iMac forum where most users tend to use OS X only.
Good luck.

If you bought and downloaded it on that Mac then it should have downloaded into the Books section of your iTunes library, is it not in there ?

Can't install photoshop cs6 on brand new iMac - "Media db error: 18"

At my company we recently hired a web designer – given his insistence on using the Adobe software, we decided to give Photoshop a try.
We downloaded a trial version and tried to install it on the brand new iMac (no previous installations of adobe stuff) we just bought for the new desigher, but... it's not even installing!
The installation process halts at around 2% and an error screen appears which gives generic instructions ("restart your computer and retry") and points to a log file where one can read "Media db error: 18".
Of course we tried restarting the computer, cleaning up ~/Library, re-downloading the installer... no good – we then downloaded and run an adobe cleanup utility... still no good.
Some people on the internet report they have the same problem... we found several questions on the matter, but no answer (besides "restart your computer" and other generic stuff that we tried and does not work).
We then called Adobe support (Italian support) and they told us they don't give support for trial versions, like we should sight unseen buy a (pricey!) software we can't even install! .
Can anyone here help?

Thanks for your help!
No, no beta or previous installations of any Adobe products – we are trying to install to a brand new iMac (just bought last week from the store): it has the latest version of everything (Os: Lion 10.7.4)
Is there any debug switch I can turn on on the installer to get further information on what's going wrong? ("media db error" is a somewhat laconic error message)

LR 5 Crop tool is constantly freezing on a fresh new install of LR 5.4 on a brand new iMac Retina??? What is going on ???

I have lightroom 5.6 installed on a brand new iMac Retina
Running OS X Yosmite
Processor 3.5Ghz i5 Quad Core
32 Gb Ram
AMD Radeon R9 M290X 2048 MB
1 TB Fusion Drive
Application Stored on Fusion Drive
LR Files/Configs etc stored on Fusion Drive
Files are Canon 5D3 Raws
Files stored on external TB2 RAID Drives.
Camera Raw Cache 100 GB
Tried to Purge Cache & Optimised Catalog
Catalog was moved from older iMac to the iMac Retina
I am frustrated and at a loss to understand WHY my Crop Tool constantly causes my LR to freeze? I get the spinning beach ball and it is very slow. Does any one have any idea????
As a wedding photographer, this is slowing down my work flow significantly and its making my work life miserable!

If there are a lot of errors, perhaps the hard drive is physically failing. Perhaps it might be better to simply add a drive to the second slot and install the system on that.

How do I uninstall Mavericks and recover Lion? I have a brand new iMac and web pages stall or freeze since I installed Mavericks. I can't get it to download software for my printer when I connect it.

I have a brand new iMac. It was working fine until I downloaded Mavericks. Now I have web pages that freeze while trying to load. The blue in the address bar stalls and freezes. If I try to load from page 1 to a later page, or reverse that, I also have the same problem. I tried to connect my printer for the first time, and again, the blue progress bar froze. Then I got the yellow triangle telling me there was a connection problem. My internet connection is via an Air Card as that is my only option where I live. I packed up the whole new iMac and took it to my Air Card provider, where they also have very fast Wifi, and they had the same problem with Wifi. I use my Air Card with my MacBook and it works JUST GREAT! I really want to return to Lion. HELP.

The only way to retutn to Lion is to format your drive (erase, lose all) and either:
1. clone back the clone copy i hoep you have, or
2. first backup your files, then format and install Lion again
But really, mavericks works great. You have a problem. Find out why. First, what unusual software do oyu have installed that may be conflicting with it? Virus, system modifiers, etc? Second what OLD software do you have that might be the problem. finally, you might need to do a re-install if something errored during install.

Can I use Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended on my brand new iMac? I had PS on my old Mac using the student licensing.

About four years ago, I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended while I was in undergrad. I downloaded it to my Mac. Since then, I've purchased a brand new iMac. Can I use this same software? I know it's been four years so the software is very updated, AND my new iMac does NOT have a cd drive. This may all be in vain. I'm just clueless! Thanks!

Emalexander89 you are welcome to install Photoshop CS4 on your new Mac. You can download a fresh copy of the installation files at Download CS6 products.
