Low RAM and no Intel. Can I install anyway?

Hi all! I need a bit of advice. I just got CS4 Production Premium on a student license and my PowerPC G4 meets all the requirements but two. I have 56.15 GB of available hard-disk, a 1400X900 display, and Tiger 10.4.11. However, I only have 640 MB of DDR SDRAM and I don't have the Multicore Intel Processor listed on the system requirements. So my question is, should I go ahead and install the software and maybe it will run a little slower or is there no point in even trying? I don't plan to do anything really intense with it and I could deal with only having a couple of the apps open at once but I need some way to use this software, preferably without buying a whole new computer. Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays!

You are supposed to disable your software license on the old computer and then you can re-enable it on the new one.
I was under the impression that CS4 applications did not run on G4. Perhaps just a subset of them do not run. If an application will work on your G4, go ahead -- it's hardly going to harm your computer.
If you plan to keep your G4 longer, you should max out the RAM. RAM for G4 systems is so cheap now that it's worth the investment in the time you will save.

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Actually, you cannot download Snow Leopard. You downloaded a Snow Leopard updater.

  • Final Cut Suite 1 and Snow Leapard - Can't install

    Final Cut Suite 1 and Snow Leopard - Can't install
    "Your computer doesn't have the required hardware to run this software, see Read Me for details."
    I take a look at the 'Before You Install' file, since there is no 'read me' file and it's hardware requirements are basically ancient for what this computer has.
    I assumed that Final Cut Suite 1 was simply too old for Snow Leapard, but my searches are not hitting in Goggle or here at the FCP Forums.
    Any ideas would be great, thanks for your time!
    -Monty

    What is the Final Cut Pro version included in your Studio 1 suite?
    If it is a 5.0.x version, then it is Power PC only. That version will install on an Intel based Mac but exhibit some odd quirks. In short, it was incompatible to start with.
    A 5.1.x version should [at least in theory|http://snowleopard.wikidot.com>, work without problems.

  • I am upgrading from Tiger to SL in a MCBPro with 2 gb ram and an intel chip and I get the following notice:  Installation failed.... THE INSTALLER COULD NOT COPY THE NCESSARY SUPPORT FILES. Any help is apprciated

    I am upgrading from Tiger to SL in a MCBPro with 2 gb ram and an intel chip and I get the following notice:  Installation failed.... THE INSTALLER COULD NOT COPY THE NCESSARY SUPPORT FILES. Any help is appreciated...

    Yes.   I've found that works best.  Especially if the drive is external, since external connections are typically slower, and Spotlight loves to eat up space going back and forth.   Time Machine will eat up as much space as it can, and typically needs drives at least twice the size of the original hard drive that is being backed up, if being backed up in full.   So unfortunately there is a lot of empty space that is needed for smooth operation.

    On Windows 7 Ultimate, desktop with C (system) drive, D K and L drives, can I install Adope Creative Suite 6 Production Premium (from cd's) to Drive D (not C). Thank you.

    you can but there may be some issues and a lot of files will be saved to your c drive, anyway.

  • I just upgraded to 10.7.3 and now I can't install any applications.

    I just upgraded to 10.7.3 and now I can't install any applications. Everything else in the OS and in applications seems to work OK. After the installers ask for the system password, they do nothing. I doesn't hang; it just won't proceed any further in the install process. I can press the back button and it seems to do that just fine. I repaired the disk permissions, but to no avail.
    After I installed 10.7.3, I tried to install an updater that was listed as being recommended for Time Machine users. That was the first time I tried to launch an installer of any sort and it did the same as above. I've gathered since then that the update wasn't necessary and was already included in the 10.7.3 I loaded today.
    Any hints?

    I'm having a similar problem after installing 10.7.3 and the Messages beta. I've unistalled Mesages with little bit of trouble.. Linc, I followed the step given in your final post any help would be appreciated.
    A screenshot of my actual error. I get this error not just for Flash, but also Handbrake. I receieve th error even when I try using a programs automatic update. However, not suprisingly I do not get the message when using Apple's software update.

  • I Have office for mac home and business 2011, can you install on both users on one iMac?

    I Have office for mac home and business 2011, can you install on both users on one iMac?

    That's often a permissions problem. Try launching Disk Utility and running the Repair Permissions. That may fix the problem. Also confirm that the Office 2011 folder is in the Applications folder at the root of the hard drive, not a folder within your wife's Home folder.
    If that doesn't help. post back with further details; your version of Mac OS X, whether you installed Office via a user account with admin privileges or not, and what happens when you try and launch Office from your account including error messages if any.
    Hope this helps.

    I threw up the box before installing photoshop elements 13 and now i can not installed my brand new photoshop because i do not have a serial number

    When you buy software, the serial number is really what you're buying, since the software is typically downloadable. So don't throw it away in the future.
    If you registered the software before you threw away your serial number, then Adobe may have a record of your purchase.
