Can't use my Adobe Illustrator CS2 with my new Mac Book Pro - is there any way to fix?

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro only to find out AFTER I made the purchase that I would not be able to use my Illustrator CS2! Do I really have to purchase a complete version of CS5 or is there another way around this? Does anyone know if OSX 10.7.2 will work with any upgrades to CS2?

There is no Rosetta support in Lion, and most likely there never will be. You will have to update to CS5.

    Can I use a 60watt t adapter with my 2011 mac book pro 13"?  I have the L adapter now, but looking for replacement that will last!

    Yes, a 13" non-Air model requires a minimum of 60 watts, so you will be fine. If it is a 2011 or earlier model, the connector is the regular MagSafe, whereas this year's models use the MagSafe 2 that is different.

  • Using both the display ports on the new mac book pro

    Hi, are there some one in Appel that can tell me if its possible to use both the display ports on the new mac book pro to show keynote on? or if its possible to make that possible? i would really like to be able to create a keynote with 5120 x 1600 pixels and get that output on two display ports, so that i can use my hardware to make a keynote with really nice reselution. its for use on a screen size of 18x4 meter.

    Connect one display to the Mini-Displayport and the other to a USB port using an adapter like this:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/VIDU2DVIA/
    Or buy a Matrox DualHead2Go DP Edition external video box and connect both displays to that, which in turn connects to the Mini-Displayport on the computer.
    There are limitations either way. A USB-connected display will be less responsive than one connected to the MDP, because USB 2 is slow. To use two displays with the Matrox box, I believe the displays must be identical. Read and understand all the caveats about each alternative before making a decision about which way to go.

  • Trying to install Deskjet 3054A wireless printing with brand new Mac Book Pro

    Hello,
    I am trying to set up the wireless printing function on the Deskjet 3054A with a new Mac Book Pro, but not having any luck. When I connect via the USB the printer shows up, but once disconnected there is no communication. I tried to get the updated driver on the HP site, but nothing ever downloaded and it kept taking me to the setup page. 
    Is this All-In-One compatible with the new Mac OS 10.10 for wireless printing?
    Thank
    Scott

    Hello Sabuff,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having some connectivity issues to you Mac 10.10.
    Just so you are aware, the printer does not have a full feature software and driver package available for the Mac 10.10 operating system.
    You can however try the HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X.
    Please feel free to write me back with any other questions or concerns.

  • Can you use a 1/4 headphone jack on a mac book pro?

    Hi,
    I have a pair of Audio Technica ATHM50RD Pro DJ Headphones. I was using them today with my 2010 Mac Book pro and the normal sized headphone jack broke off in my headphone jack port thingy. I have consequently done a lot of research and had decided to order http://www.amazon.com/Syba-SD-CM-UAUD-Adapter-C-Media-Chipset/dp/B001MSS6CS/ref= cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t and get my headphones replaced because they are under warranty but then I remembered that another headphone jack had come with the headphones. I subsequently found this larger jack which I think is a 1/4 jack thingy that screws on top of my regular broken jack. I was wondering if rather than having to replace my headphones and computer plug in thing if there is some usb thing I can use to plug my 1/4 jack into my computer. If this is not a possibilty my other question is will the Syba device work if I buy and use my less nice headphones with it? Thanks in advance.

  • Can I use an 85 watt charger for my 15" mac book pro

    the 15" came with a 60 watt charger - it is okay to use the more powerful charger (that came with a 17" mac book pro) on the smaller laptop?

  • TS3694 Just took my 1st gen iPod out of it's original box, never used before.  Plugged it into my new Mac book Pro and it recognizes that the iPod is in recovery mode but when I click to restore, error 1611 comes up - but that error code doesn't say what

    I had an 8GB 1st gen iPod in it's original box in storage and just took it out to hook it up.  Charged it overnight, plugged it into new Mac Book Pro and it was recognized as being an iPod in recovery but other identifying information was all indicated as "n/a" (so, unknown OS, etc).  Error code 1604 came up so I downloaded iTunes on the Mac Book and it is currently showing version 10.  But now when I try to restore the iPod, error code 1611 comes up and the troubleshooting doesn't tell me what else to try.  The USB connector that came with the iPod was also never used before - brand new also from the box so that should be fine.  I also tried a different USB port on the Mac Book.  Any ideas?

    Error 1611
    This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • How do I purchase mainstage as a new user with a new mac book pro

    I have a new mac book pro which I purchased with the intention of aquiring MainStage. I keep being directed to MainStage 2 for £21.00 which seems very cheap and I suspect is an upgrade to MainStage v1 (if there is such a thing). Where should I start in getting this software - the app store I assume?
    I have successfully paid for and downloaded Mainstage 2, this then went on to attempt to download 2GB of Basic Content, however, after 2 hrs of downloading it informed me 'download failed', againI suspect as I have only downloaded the update as opposed to the full program. Any ideas/guidance out there?                     

    Yes you were quite right. That has got to be the purchase of the century. Bearing in mind back in 1989-90 I purchased 2 Roland Modules - a D110 and a U110, they cost me £450 each! Plus £150 for a 'shock-proof' double skinned rack, £150 for 16 channel line mixer and finally £350 for an Alesis Quadra-verb unit.
    You might be able to help me with a further question now it's all up and running - some of the voicings in the folders in the instrument libraries appear to be empty - is this extra content that we have to purchase or is it simply that my macbook has yet to download the remaining content?
    Any guidance would be very helpful.
    And yes, I'm loving MainStage already.
    Cheers

  • Can I use an external battery pack on my 17" Mac Book Pro?

    Hi
    This may sound like a crazy question, but is it possible to safely use an external battery pack on my Mac Book Pro?.....specifically a Bescor Video Light battery pack which I can just plug my a/c power cable into. This would be very useful in the case of a local power failure (which actually may just happen tonight, as we are currently in the middle of a blizzard).
    Just wondering......
    Thanks,
    Anneita

    Yes, you can use external battery packs — but I wouldn't use one that I wasn't perfectly certain was very carefully controlled.
    External battery packs specifically designed for MBPs:

    Another option, designed to protect sensitive equipment from power surges and enable uninterrupted computer usage during AC power outages and irregularities, is called an +uninterruptible power supply,+ and the leading manufacturer of such devices — which incorporate storage batteries of various capacities — is APC:

  • Can i use my 3g on my ipad2 to my mac book pro like a iphone?

  • Help with purchasing new Mac Book Pro- 2014 release vs. 2013?

    OK, so my 15" 2008 Mac Book Pro is on its last gasp--didn't help when I dropped it while open (I can now see into its innards though it's still working...sort of).
    I'm not a technophile (mainly use my laptop for writing--my profession--and eBay business) so my sister told me to make sure that I had at least 8 GB and a fast processing speed. Retina display not necessary (her graphic artists friends hate it apparently) so that would lower the price; however it seems that there are two releases: Oct 2013 and July 2014.  Read up on the latest release but not sure how much is necessary for to have...or care about.
    Can you all weigh in and tell me (a) how important it is to have "the latest and greatest" and (b) how necessary is Retina display and (c) which would YOU purchase if you had my budget constraints.  Thanks!
    Anyway, I've narrowed down my choices of MacBook Pro purchases to what was within my budget: $1300 including tax.  I wanted a 15" but it was too much $$$$, plus I can just use an external monitor.
    Both are available at Apple. Both come with 1 year and 3-year extended warranties and both have the standard software installed, including Pages.
    One more thing....Wondering if having Flash Storage is important?  Only refurbished one (see below) has it.
    Prices for both end up being almost the same--around $1250 out the door, including tax.
    OPTION #1  NEW LAPTOP. July 2014 Release   NON RETINA DISPLAY
    2.5GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
    4GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM — 2x2GB - NOTE: I WOULD HAVE THIS UPGRADED TO 8 MG
    500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
    SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
    Backlit Keyboard (English) & User's Guide
    Accessory Kit
    OPTION #2   REFURBISHED  -Oct. 14 Release - RETINA DISPLAY
    13.3-inch (diagonal) Retina display; 2560-by-1600 resolution at 227 pixels per inch
    8GB of 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
    256GB Flash Storage1
    720p FaceTime HD camera
    Intel Iris Graphics

    Hmm... I'm not really sure where you found a July 2014 release without a retina display. I think it might be the old version because that laptop was last updated in 2012 (to my understanding. Also, your sister is kind of wrong, if you want a computer that will work well for everyday things, 4gb of ram is just fine. I have a three year old MacBook Air with 4gb of ram and do things in Photoshop, Illustrator, Pixelmator, FCP, etc. all the time running OS X Yosemite and it runs like brand new. However, if you want to future proof it, you might want 8gb so it can always run the latest OSes.
    Flash Storage is amazingly fast compared to a Hard Drive. It also has no moving parts, therefore is much more durable, and much more likely to survive a drop than a Hard Drive (which would seem to be useful in your situation).
    Also, I don't know why your sister's friends would hate the Retina display. Many people love it because it gives them the ability to edit pixel by pixel with perfect accuracy.
    I would go for the Retina display. It has better specs for the same price so why not? Not to mention that it's much faster and will likely receive updates much longer than the new MacBook Pro without Retina display.
    I hope I helped.
