CS2 and MBP (Measurements in InDesign)

When in InDesign, the measurements in the control panel show up with 15 decimal points (8.50505050505050 instead of 8.5). Illustrator and Photoshop work fine and show only 4 numbers after the decimnal point.
I am running on the latest OS updates and CS2 updates. I haven't found anything in InDesign preferences or on Adobe's site about this.
Any ideas?
Thanks

It does. It also shows the dimensions correctly on a PC too, which why I was wondering if there was a fix I was missing for InDesign running through Rosetta.
Thanks

Photoshop CS2 and MBP?

Hi,
Recently purchased the new 15" MBP. I have Photoshop CS2. How well does it run on this intel machine and is it worth upgrading just to get the intel based CS3?
Thanks for any insights from Photoshop users!

You don't "have to". You can still use all the CS2 features. The speed difference is night and day though, in running Universal code versus Rosetta emulation. I've used them both on a MBP, and wouldn't want to go back to CS2. If you're not a heavy user and you find the speed of CS2 acceptable then there is no compelling reason to upgrade.

Any experience with Illustrator CS2 and MBP?

Hi Everyone!
I read a lot about the performance of Photoshop CS2 with Rosetta, but I would like to know how the Illustrator CS2 works with the new MacBook Pro.
Thanks for your comments!
Gus

I work in prepress at a commercial printer. I have been testing out my MBP 1.8GHz with all CS1 and CS2 apps as well as Quark Xpress 6.5. I also only have 1GB of ram at the moment (second 1GB will arrive today). Anyway all the apps run slower than on my G5 Dual 1.8GHz. That may be due to the slower hard drive speed and lower amount of ram. Most apps take a little longer to launch, but once up and running perform just fine. Acrobat 6 and ID CS2 take the longest to launch. I haven't had any crashes or kernal panics with any of the apps. Quark also works well. Still a bit slow, but very fuctional once up and running. Also Citrix for Mac works as does ApogeeX client 1.27. Overall I have had a better experience with this machine than DC 2.0 GHZ G5. I had kernal panics from the beginning the MBP has had no problems so far. If you need to use a MBP fro serious design or prepress upgrade as much as possible. ie 7200RPM drive and 2GB of ram.

Illustrator CS2 and InDesign CS2 not starting - here is how it was solved.

This document is merely a compilation of information found at the sources named at the bottom of this document.
Basically running older Adobe CS2 Software on a MacBook Pro 10.6.x Snow Leopard - probably like many of you that either can't afford the upgrade to CS3, CS4 or CS5, or maybe don't see the need to do so. It's running good but it is slow since it is using Rosetta, but it does work - well, used to work.
Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, Photoshop CS2, etc. were all running fine after the upgrade to Snow Leopard (under 10.6, 10.6.1 and 10.6.2). Then the update to 10.6.3 was installed. At the same time a bunch of other updates - including the Acrobat 8.2 update - were installed. Not really sure what did it, but all of a sudden Illustrator CS2 stopped responding at the start up screen - no longer started up and InDesign CS2 popped the registration/licensing screen. When trying to enter license info on first key press the application quit entirely.
So maybe the 10.6.3 update was the culprit. Never even thought that it could be the Acrobat 8.2/8.2.1 updates. Then I found this thread here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/613287?tstart=0 (good reading)
Which ultimately pointed me the the instructions here:

Double Click the Mac.dmg file to mount it.
Copy Mac folder from mounted image. Paste it to /Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/TypeSpt/Unicode/Mappings/.
A message appears to confirm to replace the existing 'Mac' folder. Replace the 'Mac' folder.
Launch Illustrator or InDesign CS or CS 2.
The Mac folder attached to this KB document already has the correct permissions set, so it should not be necessary to complete the steps below. However there may be cases where the permissions for the Mac folder get overwritten. In such a case, the original issue can reoccur. To solve this issue, complete the steps below:
Follow Solution 1 and make sure that all Adobe applications are closed.
Right or Control click and select 'Get Info' on the Mac folder in “ /Library/Application Support/Adobe/TypeSpt/Unicode/Mappings/”, which you have copied from the .dmg file attached to this document.
Verify that under 'Sharing and Permissions' all users listed have no write access
If a change is required, click the padlock symbol and provide your Administrator credentials
Select the user which has Write access and change it to 'Read Only'.
Ensure the user 'Everyone' is set to 'No Access.
To check if the issue has been solved, launch Acrobat 8.2 and then Illustrator or InDesign CS or CS 2.
< end quote
Even after following the instructions still "no love" from Illustrator CS2 or InDesign CS2. InDesign did no longer show the registration screen, but it didn't continue launching, and Illustrator progressed further along in the start up sequence but also never finished launching.
Then I found another article on the adobe site. I am just quoting the part performed and which ultimately did the trick.
>start quote from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/326/326388.html
Steps 1 and 2 are not relevant so no need to do them
3. At the Finder, choose File > Find.
4. TypeAdobeFnt10.lst (Illustrator CS2), select the system drive, and then press Return.
5. Delete all AdobeFnt10.lst files found.
6. Restart the computer.
7. Restart Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new Adobefnt10.lst or AdobeFnt07.lst file.
< end quote
So, this solved the problems at least for the time being. Hope this helps someone else a bit.

Illustrator CS2 stopped working for me on Snow Leopard as well. What it all boiled down to was not to update to 12.0.1. Not sure which release of Snow Leopard I was on when I figured that out but I keep up-to-date, am now at 10.6.6 and CS2 still works fine. I keep getting prompted to update to 12.0.1 from time to time but just cancel it.
I'm fairly sure I was at 12.0.1 already when I moved from Leopard to Snow Leopard and it was that, not a Snow Leopard update, that "broke" CS2 12.0.1. If I remember correctly, if you now try to apply the update, it won't go through with it anyway.

Migrating only CS2 and Mail from PB G4 to MBP

To anyone who can possibly help me:
My PB G4 is on its last 1/3 of the screen (I currently can only "see" 1/3 of the LCD screen, it's grim) and I am going to go for gold and get a MBP.
I would in reality like to transfer only Photoshop CS2 and all my email stuff from the PB G4 to the MBP. The rest of the apps I am going to reinstall. As for Photoshop, I will soon get the upgrade to CS3 and life will be easier in the Intel environment. The problem is that I lost my Photoshop CS code and I only own the code for CS2.
My questions is, by using the migration assistant, is it possible to migrate a single application as well as all my emails from my Mail app? My understanding is that when you use migration assistant, it's all or nothing: you either migrate everything on your previous mac to the next one or you have to use the target disk mode.
If the only way I can get around this is to use target disk mode, which files and folders do I have to move from the PB G4 to the MBP?
I'm sure this problem has been answered by someone at some time in these forums, but after searching far and wide, I can't seemed to find the answer.
Whomever has the expertise to help me, I thank you very much in advance.

My questions is, by using the migration assistant, is it possible to migrate a single application as well as all my emails from my Mail app?
Yes.
These are the items that are listed on the Introduction Migartion window. You have the option.
.Users
.Applications
.Network and Machine Settings
.Files
.Volumes
The only one that you should not Migrate to Intel is Applications, it is better to just reinstall them. As you run the risk of copy file that are not Intel compatible. As for any application you migrate just select the application icon and go to Get Info and be sure that you are not running it via Rosetta.

I have InDesign CS2 and CS Premium. Will all of my CS programs update to CS5.5?

I have CS Premium and an upgrade to InDesign(CS2). I know that CS Premium alone will not be eligible for the upgrade but since I have InDesign CS2 I'm assuming I'm eligible. My question might sound silly but will my CS programs update as well? For example, Photoshop CS, Illustrator CS, and so forth will they update to CS5.5 since I have InDesign CS2?

You are eligible for an upsell, not an upgrade. Here's an Amazon link: http://amzn.to/r5ArLl
And yes, you'll get the full suite of products but not all are at 5.5. Some are still at 5.1.

Cs2 premium - Middle Eastern version- InDesign and reverse hebrew - windows vista

i have cs2 and after installing the package, i have a very strange problem
in indesign, when i want to write text in hebrew, i get the word reversed, so for example(in english now) if i write in hebrew: moshe, i get ehsom (reversed word)
the example is in english, but the english is fine. i did it in english so you will understand what i get in hebrew.
CS2 is installed on windows Vista
also i installed illustrator(part of the CS2 package) and there, there is no problem at all!.
the hebrew works great.
no reversed words.
i dont know what to do and how to solve this problem.
i tried to uninstall CS2, and then reinstalling it again, but the problem stays.
how can i fix this problem?
thanks for your help!

i dont have an option to chose between RTL or LTR languages.
That's the whole point of the ME editions
I stole this screenshot from Winsoft's site:
So, at least in CS3, that's where the paragraph-direction button is; it's on the Paragraph palette, which you can find in CS2 by going to Window -> Type -> Paragraph (if you don't know exactly where it is already). I think it's in the same place in CS2 but it's been a looooooong time since I've looked at CS2ME.

Just starting to use InDesign CS2 and can't pull up my previous Pagemaker files; what do I do?

Just starting to use InDesign CS2 and can't pull up my previous Pagemaker files; says "damaged and cannot be recovered"

I have no idea what "diagnostic recompose" is...
Step 3 in this linked technote will show you how to do a diagnostic recompose - on a Mac. Instructions for doing it on Windows are out there somewhere, I'll try to find 'em if you can't. The technote tells you to remove graphics from master pages; I'd also unembed graphics (make sure all graphics are linked, not stored in the PageMaker doc) in order to try to get it to open up in ID.
I'm sure there are more things you can try, if that doesn't work, but my broken-PageMaker-doc skills are pretty rusty.
Also, you may want to edit your response on the forums webpage, and delete it from your future email-replies, so your email address and phone number aren't preserved for all to see on the forums, forever.
Edit: Step 3, not step 4

Toolbox shortcut commands no longer work in CS2 and...

Toolbox shortcut commands no longer work in PS CS2. Any command that I try to execute in PS generates a "program error" message, including trying to exit the program. Now I have to go into Task Manager and "kill" it in there to get out of it. Images and changes will not save.
I have deleted the PS preferences and rebooted. I un-installed and re-installed PS. Same problem. Only happens in PS, not InDesign.
I can click directly on the toolbox to activate a certain tool, but this is so painfully slow. I'm pretty much dead in the water so any help appreciate.
Dell 8400 3 ghz box, Window XP latest version, all updates.

[sig deleted by forum host]

The program has worked without any problems for two years. It was purchased at CDW under our company account.
Here's where I am with it. I am completely screwed now and at the "format the hard drive" point. When I go to install the CS2 Suite, the installer disk says that everything is out there on the hard drive BUT Photoshop, even though I used the installer CD to removed all components. I can't reinstall over anything, or install anything at all.
I went through the OS Registry and cleaned out what I think is everything but the install disk is reading something somewhere in a file that I can't seem to locate. I also went through the Common files under programs and cleaned that out as well. So, it looks like a reformat for me.
So, I've order a brand new 250 gig hard drive in case there are any issues going on from that end. Right now I'm going through withdrawal symptoms because I no longer can access CS2 and I have a boatload of projects to work on. Your basic nightmare. Wait, maybe I'm dreaming all this...

Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop CS4 on the same system?

Hi all,
I was wondering is it possible to have both Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS4 on my computer at the same time. I heard that this would cause errors, but if there is, is there a work around for it. Thanks in advance.

Quite a few people keep an older version in case there is something not right for them in the newer version.
Just make sure they are installed in that order.
Be prepared to have your file associations changed.
What is you OS by the way?

I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image, the guidelines are not locked, it is annoying to have to lock them down again. and it would actually be nice, to ba able to give specific directions when placing the guidelines. Thanks

Then why are the guides unlocked when I reopen a document that I saved with the guides locked ?
Thanks.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS2 and it closes down every time I open it.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS2 and it closes down every time I open it with the following error: "Photoshop Quit Unexpectedly". Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this?

The first question is have you used this version on this computer with the operating system you have now. The issue might be (if you are on a Mac) that CS2 was a Power PC application and you have upgraded to a new computer with an Intel processor. CS2 will not work on an Intel processor with system (I think) OSX.6 or greater.
If you have used this release on this computer with the same OS, than try deleting the preferences by holding down the Comand/Control-Option-Shift keys when starting the application. You will get a message asking if you want to delete the preferences, say yes.
Let me know if any of these work.

Saved Tiffs will not open in CS2 and generate a "Could not complete your request because of a program error".

this was supplied by Ann Shelbourne.
Saved Tiffs will not open in CS2 and generate a "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
These files will often open in Photoshop 7.0.1 or in CS1 but not in CS2.
The trouble may be caused by bad dates in the EXIF data and can originate from an incorrectly-programmed digital camera; or from a scan that was created after after Jan1 of this year (because of a known bug in some scanner software).
If someone runs into the "Could not complete your request because of a program error" problem, and does not have CS1, try opening the Tiff in TextEdit.
The EXIF data is right at the top. Check the EXIF data for bad creation dates and change any incorrect ones there.
Save and close; and then the file will probably open in CS2 without a murmur.

> If iPhoto causes problems why not open the images from the Finder?
I get the error if I open a file from within iPhoto using "OPen in external editor" and then alter it (or do not alter it) and try to save it over itself, or save it anywhere else.
I get the error if I do "Show file" in iPhoto to see the file in the Finder. Then, if I double-click and it opens in PS, and then alter it (or do not alter it) and try to save it over itself, or save it anywhere else.

Right.

Problem with CS2 and firefox 3.6x

i have a strange problem arising from a combination of photoshop cs2 and firefox 3.6x browser in XP sp3
when photoshop is minimised to the taskbar and then firefox is minimised, the focus of firefox seems to be passed to photoshop unexpectedly, turning its button dark blue and making it very difficult to maximise photoshop (repeated clicking and swapping of apps sometimes frees it)
has anyone else every experienced anything like this with 3.6?
i have installed 3.5.10 atm which works with no problem at all and holds its own focus when minimised.
Steve

None of those ideas worked. I used the Disk Utility and it indicated that all permissions were OK. I cleared the caches and cookies on Safari and FireFox, and even re-installed FireFox and deleted all of the old files associated with it. Both browsers brought up the Apple support website using the IP address, but neither browser would allow me to log into Apple support to follow this thread. I turned off the Firewall thinking it was the problem. I am running the PC and iMac through a router, then a dsl modem. Could any of those items be the problem?
