CS1 and OS 10.4.3?

Hi.
I have the education version of CS Premium (1) and when my harddrive failed, all my programs got erased. I got a new HD, and upgraded my OS to 10.4.3. When I try to install CS1 again using the 2 Install discs, it asks for the serial number, which i type in. It always returns with "Please enter the 24-digit number on the packaging". ...I've typed this in A LOT, it's not a type-o.
I called Adobe to try to find out if the problem was with my computer, the discs, the serial number, etc., but they insist that they will not give me any support until I buy a newer product.
Also to consider is that I have Photoshop 7.0 on my new OS, as well as Illustrator 11 on here, both from other sources. Would they be interfering?
Any advice?
Thanks,
Caroline

It's on the CD case, on a sticker labeled, "Serial Number: Creative Suites Prem". I haven't done any system maintenance, mainly because the whole computer was over-hauled 4 weeks ago, and hardly used, so I didn't figure too much could've been wrong there. However, it that is a good bet given the circumstances, I can try it.

How to make previous version documents(CS1 and CS3) without extension readable in InDesign CS5

I have some previous version documents of CS1 and CS3 on Mac which have been saved without any extension e.g 300, CS3doc etc.
When I open such documents in InDesign CS5 they appear to be unreadable . Only on selecting 'All documents' filter I am able to open those documents.
I want to make all such documents (which are without extension) readable with 'All Readable Documents ' also .
How I can do that, please help me !!!!!

The first thing I'd do is make sure the issue is really what I suspect it is - i.e. I suspect your extension-less documents don't have the proper type and creator.
If you fire up a Terminal window, you should be able to use the GetFileInfo command to check one of the files:
Assume 'sampleFile' is sitting on your desktop, you'd do
GetFileInfo ~/Desktop/sampleFile
(not sure when/whether GetFileInfo is installed on a Mac - I think it used to be part of Apple's developer tools, but on my Snow Leopard it resides in /usr/bin)
Check what it says for 'type' and 'creator'.
If these are not correct, we've confirmed that that's the reason why they don't show up in your file dialog.
If the issue is type/creator related, I can think of the following options:
a) Change your code to accept ANY file type/extension - I suspect this would work (not tested!):
openFileDialog->AddType( '????' );
If memory serves right, '????' should be accepted as a wildcard.
b) correct the file types BEFORE they are viewed in the File Dialog - for example, if these files are in a very specific folder somewhere, you might be able to scan the folder, and correct their type and creator (e.g. iterate through all extensionless files in folder 'xyz' and change their type and creator). A lot depends on how those files get there, and whether they are tied to a specific folder or not - are they 'old' files, or are they being generated in some workflow? If they're all over a user's system or all over a file server, such pre-scanning and cleaning up file types approach will be a no-go.

CS1 and CS2 InDesign file type problems and Tiger

Dual 2.7GHrz G5, 2GB RAM, OSX 10.4.5
Previously, InDesign 3 (CS1 version) was installed on this Mac. I needed to install the full CS2 package. Everything installed just fine. The problem I am having is the file type associations. The Mac now sees CS1 InDesign files as Indesign CS2 files. I got info on a file I knew to have been created and saved in InDesign CS1. I changed the "open with:" to InDesign CS and it worked until I hit "Change all". It then reverts back to a CS2 file type. On other sites I found some different things to try like rebuilding or deleting the LaunchServices pref files, checking to see if their was a CFBundleIdentifier, etc. Anyway, what I seem to have found is that Tiger gets confused when the Type and Creator are the same in the info.plist files. Panther, however, does not seem to have this same problem. We have 10+ other G5's of similar hardware specs as the one listed above, running Panther 10.3.9, have CS1 and CS2 installed, and we are not having the same file type problems.
As a test, I modified the CFBundleIdentifier to be different than the one found in the CS1 info.plist, and it let me "change all" the CS1 files to CS1. Of course, CS2 files could not be associated with CS2 now.
Is there a fix for this? Or, is there a patch being worked on that will fix this problem? We really need to keep both versions of the software installed, and I don't want to have to rely on users making the decision about what version they are working in.

If Get Info shows both app versions (& it should) as "Open with:" choices, you can at least still set individual docs to open with the preferred version. Instead of having to open Get Info windows, you can do the same thing a bit more easily with the contextual menu that pops up when you right (or CMD) click & hold on a Finder document icon.
Normally, the "Open with >" choice in this menu is a one time thing, but if you hold down the option key, it changes to "Always Open With >" & makes the new app choice permanent as it opens the doc, all in one step.

CS1 and NEF files

I'm having a similar issue as the person using CS4. I know it's compatability.
I'm using iPhoto 9 (for storage & organization primarily) and Photoshop CS1 (yes, the first CS). It's easy to figure out how to make iPhoto open the RAW files in an external editor (PS) - just checking a couple boxes in Preferences.
The message I get when trying to open RAW files is "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."
My camera is a Nikon D3200. The version of the Camera Raw plug-in I have is 2.0.
From searching through this site I've determined:
1) CS1 is compatible with raw plug-in versions 2.0-2.4
2) The minimum plug-in required for my D3200 is 7.1
3) The DNG converter provides backward compatability for free in PS CS2, etc. Why not CS1?
4) But to use the DNG converter, on one of the site pages, it says I need plug-in 2.3 or later.
5) See #1. Does this mean, if I can find a copy of plug-in 2.3 (allegedly compatible with CS1), I can make this workflow successful?
I cannot afford to upgrade to a new version of PS - got no money. How can I get a copy of the 2.3 plug-in? How can I make my NEF files play nice with CS1?
Thanks!

If you downloaded and installed the mac version of the 2.4 camera raw in cs, then you also need the 7.4 dng converter to convert your
Nikon D3200 camera raw files to dng copies and then you can open the dng files into photoshop cs.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5568
You might have to use one of the compatibilty settings under Change Preferences>Compatibility in the dng converter so the dngs will open in photoshop cs.
So you might experiment with a file or two before converting all the files.

Adobe CS1 and Leopard?

I've heard that Adobe CS1 will not work under Leopard. Is this true? I'm getting Leopard in the mail today, and if I can't install it until I upgrade to CS3, I'm gonna cry! LOL
-Aaron

Hi there,
I have been using InDesign CS and CS2 with no problems so far. Certainly no more crashes than under Tiger. Performance has been a little sluggish at times but that could have coincided with a TM backup.

Adobe CS1 and Rosetta

I'm going to buy an iMac Intel Core Duo and I was wondering if Adobe Creative Suite 1 will run correctly under Rosetta? Can anybody help me?
Thanks
PS: Sorry for my English...

Not sure about how Adobe CS1 runs on iMAc Intel Duo Pro, but as for Adobe CS2...it runs slowly! I use Adobe CS2 all the time for work and ersonal and it runs slow on the new iMacs. My 3 year old Pwbk Ti runs Adobe faster.
Other issues, Adobe Version Cue doesn't run at all on the new iMac. InDesign CS2 has freaking problems when you enter sizes....for ex. 8.5" might read 8.490000087500032. It's wierd!
So, to answer your questions, not sure about how CS1 will run, but CS2 is annoyingly slow with some glitches.

CS1 and Leopard

Hi there.
I upgraded to Leopard and now CS1 will boot but as soon as it is up I get the beachball and it quits. Any ideas please.
Tony.

Greetings,
CS1/2/3 will work on Leopard, they do on my machines, but you may need to reload it (CS1) from scratch. Several people in my users group had to do that. I didn't, but I might have just gotten lucky. My other machines have CS3 and they work well, too.
Repair permissions before you do an update/upgrade or install a large package/suite of programs - it's always a best practice.
Good Luck.
Cheers,
M.

Action, Batch Command in CS1 and conversion

I'm experimenting with turning PSDs and JPGs into web size (approx. 700x950 pix.) jpegs. Is there a way to convert PSDs to JPEGS in the Action command (I assume one can't do it in Batch).
Thank you,
Allan

Allan, use the Image Processor. (Unless CS1 didn't have it, I don't remember anymore.)
If tou want to use actions, use File > Automate > Fit image and record that.

Adobe CS1 and OS 10.6?

Buying a new laptop and have old software. Will the original CS work well on OS 10. 6 or should I look for a machine with 10.5?

It will not work well on 10.6, but IIRC it won't run very well under 10.5 either.

Leopard and Adobe CS1 on my iMac G4

Hi everyone,
I currently own a iMac G4 flat panel, 1.25GHz, 1GB ram. I'd like to upgrade my current OS (Panther) to Leopard.
My problem is I own retail copies of Adobe CS1 (I'm an illustrator) and currently can't afford to upgrade to CS3.
Will Adobe CS1 and Studio 8 run on Leopard? Are there any users here currently running these apps on a smiliar spec machine with Leopard?
How should install Leopard if I purchase it, should I do a clean install or just an upgrade?
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

hi p_d
CS1 is "working" under Leopard but is no longer support by Adobe. This application have not been optimized for Leopard and may be buggy. But I have been able to install and work with CS1 on Leopard as many others.
Beside, you should consider to add more RAM if you can afford. If you are doing graphic design, you will find you computer much much faster with even just 512Mo more or ideally 1Go more. I know that the old RAM required on G4 is a lot costly than actual RAM. But still, Leopard will use most of your RAM not leaving much for your applications.

All CS1 apps quit when I try to launch them.

Hello
I have been told by Adobe that they cannot provide any direct assistance to me. I have tried to explain to them that I don't believe I have a technical problem with the suite, as I think it may be a licensing issue. The problem I am having is that whenever I try to launch one of the CS1 apps, I get the following error message,
b "The application (...) CS quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.
b Click Relaunch to launch the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a
b report to Apple."
My system is a Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5. I have 3.5GB of RAM. The Creative Suite is installed in the Applications Folder of my startup drive, which is the original 160GB drive. I also have installed a 1TB drive in the second internal bay. Firmware is up to date and I am running Mac OS X (10.5.6). I have had CS1 for about 5 years and it is registered in my name.
The problem started around the time that I downloaded a trial version of Illustrator CS4, about 1-2 months ago. I'm not necessarily linking the two together because I can't remember if I have successfully launched a CS1 app since installing Illustrator CS4. Around that time, I also repaired disk permissions in an attempt to sort out a problem I was having with the optical drive and I am fairly sure that I haven't been able to launch a CS1 app since then. Again, I don't know whether these could be related.
What I tried to explain to Adobe was that, I used to use 3 or 4 different user accounts on my Mac. I had one set up for graphics, one for music etc.. I have only installed CS1 on this computer but it occurred to me that by using the suite under different user accounts, it may have appeared that I had installed it on more than the allowed maximum of two computers. Also, I have more than once had to reinstall the operating system. At least once was an 'erase and install' and one an 'archive and install'. I wondered if this might also make it appear that I had installed the suite on more than two computers. I have since read somewhere that if you want to transfer your licence to someone else, you have to deactivate the serial number from preferences, which is something that I have never done.
Here is a list of what I have done to try and eliminate possible causes:
- relaunched the apps after the first failed launch, to launch them with their default preference sets.
- manually uninstalled the entire suite, including preference files, caches, fonts etc., as per the instructions given on the Adobe Support Website.
- reinstalled the suite
- repaired disk permissions
- deleted all printer and scanner drivers
- set up a second user account to verify that the apps will not launch from a different account
- booted in safe mode and tried to launch CS apps from there to eliminate issues with login
items or kext files
- disabled all non-system fonts and deleted any duplicates
- tried to launch the apps having removed all peripherals except mouse and keyboard
- reset PRAM and NVRAM
- run all open firmware and Mac OS X diagnostic tests to eliminate hardware issues
- completely reinstalled the operating system followed by a clean installation of the suite
None of these measures has solved the problem. If anyone could offer me any advice on this, I would be very grateful. Could it be a licencing issue and if so, what do I do about it? Adobe don't seem to want to know. Incidentally, Adobe Reader launches fine as does the trial version of InDesign CS4 that I've just downloaded.
If you have read this far, thank you for persevering.
Regards
Will Mackie

CS1 is not supported in Leopard if you had it working at some point you were lucky. Adobe does not plan on updating CS as it is an old version. Keep in mind that CS1 is now the last version that can be updated to CS4 now that Adobe has a 3 version update window. At the beginning of March Adobe will start tiered pricing and CS1 and CS2 will cost $200 more that you can upgrade to day. As soon as CS5 is released you will no longer be in the upgrade path and will need to pay full price for the CS5 creative suite.
If you want to continue to use Leopard then it would be best for you to upgrade to CS4. If you will never need to upgrade then it would be best to downgrade your system to Tiger by either restoring from a backup of Tiger you made before your system upgrade or wiping the drive and installing Tiger fresh. You can't Downgrade the Leopard with Tiger as you could with previous systems.

Problems Printing old CS1 files in CC

Printing old files imported from CS1 in CC I get the following warnings:
Warning
The document contains artwork that requires flattening.
The document contains RGB images.
The Document Raster Effects resolution is 72 ppi or less.
I really don't know where to begin?
I've changed the document color mode to CMYK - it was RGB originally.
The print preview screen is blank.
This doesn't seem to be the problem as other similar RGB documents print fine.
I've tried to flatten transparency after selecting all items, this doesn't work either.
Why the need to flatten artwork?
File contains gaussian blurs - the blurred items printed in a new file.
I don't think it is the less than 72ppi warning.
I print from Illustrator to PDF CC.
When I copy the paths/objects from one file to a new one the print preview and print work fine?
This is an impractical solution as there are 100s of sub-layers with hidden and locked items.
Thank you very much in advance.
Cheers
Mike

Mike,
If you have trouble installing/running the older versions in 8.1, you can just use Compatibility. At least from 8 to CS6 can run on XP, so CS1 and CS3 are right in the middle.
You may need to run the computer in an earlier mode, such as XP mode, to install it (you may try in normal mode first). Here is how:
How to Get a Windows XP Mode Virtual Machine on Windows 8.1
Once installed, you should be able to get it to run with the PC in normal mode as follows (first run):
1) RightClick the shortcut;
2) Click Properties;
3) Click Compatibility;
4) Tick Run this program in Compatibility mode for, then select XP or a later version in the dropdown list;
5) Start your good old version.
After that, you can just DoubleClick the shortcut.

Import cs1.Keyboard doesn't work

Please help I am writing my second program and I have been told
that 'Class cs1.keyboard not found in import' when I compiled it.
My code is....
import cs1.Keyboard;
public class three_int
public static void main (String[]args)
int a,b,c;
float average;
System.out.print ("Enter a number for a: ");
a = Keyboard.readInt();
System.out.print ("Enter a number for b: ");
b = Keyboard.readInt();
System.out.print ("Enter a number for c: ");
c = Keyboard.readInt();
average=(a+b+c)/3;
System.out.println ("The average of a,b and c
is " average".");
What am I doing wrong? My class path is right I'm fairly sure. Is it because I'm using different versions of SDK ?
I'm using SDK1.4 beta and SDK1.2.2, At University the cs1.Keyboard package works perfectly but when I downloaded it from the java website it didn't work.... Can you pls tell me the exact website I can get the version I can use to make cs1.Keyboard package work... Thank you. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers, George

The statement "import cs1.Keyboard;" is telling the compiler to find a java package named cs1 and find a class named Keyboard inside that package.
So your system must have a directory named cs1 that contains a file Keyboard.class. The cs1 directory must be in a directory that is in your Classpath.
If you aren't sure about how your Classpath is set or which directory to put the cs1 directory, you can try to put it into the same directory that three_int.java is in. I'm assumng you CD to the directory that contains three_int.java when you try to compile it.

Font trouble in PS CS1 on Snowleopard

Hi
I am running Photoshop Cs1 on an Imac with Snowleopard (Mac OS X - 10.6.3) with an Intel Core i5 Processor. The problem is that I can only see fonts up to "K" in the list, and then only the "symbols" fontstyle after that. In my FontBook I can see them up to the end, and in InDesign CS1 and Illustrator CS1 I can also se the list to the last font.
Any Idea what I can do to fix this?
Thank You

This is entirely due to the number of fonts on your system.
I went through this myself when my font library grew to its present size of 4986 fonts.
The first few show up with icon, name and preview, then you only get one of the three for the rest of the list.
I'm pretty sure that it takes a good while for Ps, Id or Ai to fully lauch the Font tool also.
I found a solution.
The best solution is to get and use a font manager like Suitcase Fusion. Then move all but your base system fonts to a separate library, managed by the application.
Your CS apps will run faster, and since only the font(s) you are using will be activated, the font tool performance will increase dramatically.
Also, CS1 wasn't built to run on Intel, or in Snow Leopard. I'm surprised this is the only issue you're having.
