Adobe CS2 compatibility with Leopard 10.5.1

I need to boot from the disks on an old iMac -- but I can't locate those disks. I do have an unused Leopard 10.5.1 that I could use -- but I need to make sure that Adobe CS2 will still work on that computer. Does anyone know if it will work?

Ha-ha.... I had an IT guy tell me it would overwrite the system but wouldn't mess with the data or the programs -- but he couldn't tell me if they were compatible... I guess this why I'm not computer guru!

Adobe CS2 compatibility with Loepard

Hi there,
I just received my new iMac and got everything setup only to hear that apparently Adobe is not supporting their CS2 software with Leopard. I have Adobe web bundle and mostly use Photoshop, Illustrator as well as Macromedia Studio8 Flash and Dreamweaver.
Has anyone had any problems running CS2 or Studio8 with Leopard? So far I haven't come across any bugs, but I also haven't really used the software much. I just checked to make sure I could install and open it.

No that's not the issue. CS2 was released in April of 2005 before the release of the Intel platform from Apple in 2006. The new code used to program applications to run natively on the Intel macs is called Universal Binary(UB) and the older code is called PowerPC(PPC). Since CS2 was released as PPC they decided not to recode the current version rather just code the new version UB from scratch. They also knew that Apple included built in emulation so that you could run PPC apps on the Intel Mac. At this point it has nothing to do with it being Tiger or Leopard and don't misunderstand Adobe does still fully support CS2. I am just letting you know it runs slower on the Intel Macs and the only real fix for that is to purchase the CS3 software.

Is adobe photoshop cs2 compatable with windows 8?

Is adobe photoshop CS2 compatable with windows 8?

I have removed and re-installed CS2 twice now and still get the same library application error.
DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS 8 ONTO YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU WANT TO KEEP CS2!
Telling us to spend more money to upgrade our software to meet OS does not show trust to the users. CS2 should be able to work with new OS systems and if not users should be allowed to update their current program for free to be able to use it on the new OS.
Thank you,
Eric

ID CS2 compatible with Leopard?

What's the official word on CS2 compatibility with Mac OS X Leopard? What about CS3?

Exactly where are people getting the info that Tiger won't boot on the new machines? From what I've read, it may be possible to run 10.4 on them still--you would just have to clone across from your old machine to your new machine. I am certainly not *advocating* such an action, I am simply clarifying that it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility if you get desperate enough...
Regardless of what OS you end up running, if you are on an Intel Mac, I would seriously recommend you bump up to CS3 as soon as possible. CS2 is not great fun to run on Intel Macs. It is probably going to feel slightly more sluggish than your 1.8ghz--I find it is similar to running approximately a 1ghz G4 in terms of GUI interaction.
Printing speeds are more like the speed of a G5. Well, unless you try and print an EPS the Rosetta engine doesn't like. In that case, be prepared to go hunting for a G5 or converting some EPS files, because a recalcitrant EPS simply can't be printed in some edge cases.

How does Adobe CS2 perform in Leopard?

Hi all
I am very interested in migrating from Tiger to Leopard but one of the reasons that is preventing this is the supposed behaviour of Adobe CS2 in the latter. Upgrading to CS3 is not possible due to financial reasons so I am more interested in anyone who is using, or has used, Adobe CS2 applications in Leopard to see what the stability is like.
I have read that CS2 is not rock sold under Leopard but the proof is in the using so please tell me your experiences briefly if you can so I can make a more informed decision about my options.
Many thanks.

Thanks for your reply - I have CS2 - the basic suite (AI,GoLive, InDesign, Photoshop, Acrobat) and upgraded from Panther to Tiger, so I could use Acrobat 8. I use the suite on an old Quicksilver - processer as below - 733 MHz - usually okay but spinny on charts that are complex - but I don't overwork AI and Photoshop - mostly use InDesign and Acrobat, and an additional InDesign on another computer. I deauthorized the single InDesign on my iBook and put it on the MacBook Pro to try it out - the first couple of times it was okay but sometimes it fails to open - starts to "bounce" then just hangs. This is quite frustrating since the power of the MacBook far outstrips my stalwart Quicksilver- I'd love to access it but I really can't afford CS3. If you have any workarounds, that would be great. For now I'd be happy just to use InDesign on the MacBook, but it would be great to have the entire suite available on it.

Adobe CS2 and Snow Leopard - do I have to buy CS4 to use SL?????

That is RIDICULOUS!!!!
In order to use Snow Leopard I have to spend 1,000 in a new CS suite!!????
Adobe is in debt with all the CS, CS2 and CS3 users who can't install a new OS on their Macs
because there is no support for CS old Versions.
Shame on you Adobe!!!
We demand a patch to solve this situation!!!
Old CS users United!!!!

Have you yet complained to St. Steve of Cupertino that Apple does so little to maintain application compatibility when they release new versions of their operating systems?
It is a primary rule of operating system development and maintenance that you maintain full compatibility with existing applications and not break such compatibility just for the purpose of being "neat and cool, cool and neat."
If you are willing to spend time and $$$$ to upgrade your operating system to a new and incompatible version, you should be prepared to also spend money for versions of applications that had to be seriously rejiggered to work with these incompatibilities.
Adobe didn't break compatibility, Apple did. Complain to them!

Adobe CS2 Installs with ARD?

We recently purchased a volume license for Adobe CS2. I have read the information on the Adobe website about configuring a silent install. All seems to be fine with putting the files together in a directory as they say but I am hitting a wall when it comes to running the sudo command using the "Send UNIX command" function. I can send the command but the results display shows me the input for password but I have no interaction with the shell.
I am attempting to run this as the Administrator account on the remote Mac. Should I enable the root user and log in under that account and attempt to re-run the script or is there a way to authenticate using ARD and this command? I have several Macs I need to run this install on.

I tried to reply to you last night, Bill, but the forums went down between when I hit Reply and when I hit Post Message.
As a matter of coincidence, I had just finished doing the exact thing you are attempting. I used the instructions found at http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331297.html to the letter, copying my cs2install folder to the remote machine's top-level folder using ARD. Then I used "Send Unix Command" -- as root user and set to display all output -- to send the following command to the remote machine:
sudo /cs2install/Macsuite_silentinstall.sh /cs2install/ /cs2install/AdobeInstallerConfiguration.xml
I had a hard time determining when it was finished, though, because the output doesn't say, "Hey, I'm done!" when it's done, but ARD will return a successful message. All told, the actual silent installation on the remote machine, from the time I sent the Unix command, took six minutes.
Yup, six minutes.
The updates, however, took me an hour and a half!

Skype compatibility with Leopard

I am having trouble running Skype on my iMac G5 2.0 w/ 2 gig running Leopard. The icon just bounces without starting up. I have the latest version of Skype (2.6) loaded and it worked without problems when I had 10.4.10 loaded. No other compatibility issues with my other applications identified yet.
Other background ... Skype works fine on my MacBook 2.0 with Leopard.
Any thoughts or experiences?
Thanks

Or if you want to keep the firewall on, either don't exit Skype but only put your computer to sleep when not using it instead of switching off completely or when you start your computer up re-install Skype. You don't have to uninstall, just keep the dmg file on your computer and reinstall from it agreeing to replace the previous version when you drag it to your apps folder. Thats what I've done and works fine.

Adobe Viewer Compatibility with Android Mobiles... anyone know which?

We've created a digital magazine using Adobe DPS and deployed it online here: http://www.thinkingtackle.korda.co.uk/landing.html (click VIEW under TTD3) to launch the online verison rather than App versions
It should redirect to the live mag in Adobe Content Viewer...
Works fine on Mac, PC, iOS.... BUT no joy on the plethora of mobiles we've tried it on... Samsung Galaxy S3 and various others...
Keen to understand the limitations or extent of Adobe Content Viewer's compatibility with Andriod Mobiles/Tablets
Can anyone advise?
Best
Nick@Code

Hi Bob,
Adobe Content Viewer from Google Play (May 1, 2013) is both compatible and works fine on my Nexus 4 phone. We understand that adding the Android phone compatibility might cause poor app rating as the buttons/controls will be hard to tap on the smaller screens. But publisher could add these limitations to the app description. So my question is if support for Android phones could be added to the custom viewer as an optional feature checkbox, please.
Thank you,
Gennady

Adobe Ideas compatibility with Illustrator on a pc? Or only on a Mac?

Open PP, then from the Welcome Screen click Open Project... That will give you the window to navigate to the project file.

Adobe CS2 and Snow Leopard

Hi everyone,
I have a MacBook Pro with a 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. I installed CS2 months ago with no problem, but since I've upgraded to Snow Leopard I've come across some issues. I had to do a complete wipe and used Snow Leopard instead of the original DVD that came with the laptop (at the suggestion of my IT guy) because of another issue with one of my accounts and since then, some programs need Rosetta to get them opened initially. The only one I'm having a real issue with is my CS2. I can't afford to upgrade, which is why I'm still with CS2. I get the following message: "An error has been detected with a required application library and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application."
I have uninstalled, reinstalled and am still getting the same message. Does anyone have any ideas how I can remedy this situation besides upgrading to the newest version.
Thanks,
Jena

I have been using CS2 for a while, and since I installed Snow Leopard, InDesign CS2 is the one which has given me the most difficult time. Apparently, Rosetta and the PostScript language have some problems communicating together. As soon as I have to do something which involve transparency setting (pasting a graphic from Illustrator, trying to make a PDF which contains an imported Illustrator file...), the application crashes. I tried from InDesign directly (almost never works), from the Print menu (ditto), and sometimes I succeed in making a PS file that goes successfully through Distiller.
I didn't have much trouble with Illustrator and Photoshop, though. The only thing It seems I can do is trying to find me a legit copy of CS4, if such a thing still exists.

Is Adobe CS4 compatable with Lion?

Before I install Lion, I would like to find out what software is compatable, especially CS4 (photoshop illustrator InDesign, etc)

There is a link on the Adobe site that says something about 'they are working closely with apple' blah blah blah. Are you using 10.7.2? or 10.7? I'd like to upgrade to a new MBPro but need to know if my software is going to work on it. Anyone know if the .2 update has fixed the problems with CS4? Thanks.

Adobe CS3 Compatibility with Yosemite

I own Adobe's CS3. I run it on a 27 inch 2010 Intel IMac with OS 10.6.8. I want to upgrade to Yosemite, but I need to know that Adobe CS3 will run on Yosemite. I have been unable to get a direct answer from Adobe.

I am also running the Adobe CS3 suite & I just upgraded to Yosemite yesterday (Dec. 26, 2014) from Snow Leopard 10.6.8. So I really went for it with this upgrade, of course, taking all the necessary preparations like backups & researching potential problems.
After the upgrade I clicked to run Photoshop & was prompted for the upgrade to Java link just like Eau Rouge indicated. I downloaded it & have been able to run the CS3 programs (Dreamweaver, InDesign, Illustrator & yes even Flash) with no problems thus far.
I am really going to put Photoshop through its paces today & if any issues arise, I will repost back in this forum. But so far all is good. Hope this information helps!

G4 compatibility with Leopard

I just bought a 12" Powerbook G4 in February, as the MacBook Pros were being released. Now that I see the whole Apple lineup moving to Intel processors, I'm getting a bit jealous but I really want to know if Leopard would be able to run on a G4, not just Intel based Macs. I watched Steve Jobs' Keynote Address but he didn't discuss that.

Until the minimum system specifications required for Leopard are released by Apple, it is purely speculation at this point but it is highly unlikely a G4 PPC Mac will not be supported by Leopard especially when the transition to Intel processors began this year.
The minimum specifications for Tiger are as follows:
Mac OS X Version 10.4 requires a Macintosh with:
* PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
* Built-in FireWire
* At least 256MB of physical RAM
* A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
* At least 3.0 GB of available space on your hard drive; 4GB of disk space if you install XCode 2 developer tools
* DVD drive for installation (get CD media for $9.95)
Although the minimum specifications for Leopard may not be 100% identical to this, I seriously doubt your 12" PB G4 will not be supported.

Adobe Reader compatibility with Chrome on MAC OS

Hi,
Are Adobe Reader 9, 10 & 11 versions compatible with Chrome on a MAC OS?
I found below Adobe Reader tech specs where Chrome is not explicitly listed under Mac OS but again Chrome isn’t explicitly listed for Adobe Reader 9 and 10 specs for windows either but this works fine –
http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/reader/tech-specs.html
Any pointers will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Chrome uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.
