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!
iMac (20-inch, Early 2008), 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 6 GB RAM

CS3 compatibility with Yosemite

Hi, I have an inherited version of CS3 on my PPC(!) iMac G5 and am planing to purchase a new intel iMac with Mavericks installed and I might upgrade to Yosemite.
The question is, will I be able to migrate my software to the new mac and will it work! Has anyone had this experience?
Thank you.

It is working on my intel iMac with Mavericks, (at least Illustrator, Dreamweaver and InDesign are, I have not checked CS3 Photoshop because I have the CS5 version of that) but I had installed and updated all the apps back when I had older OS versions (Leopard, Snow Leopard, etc.) and when I tried to do a fresh install recently, I was able to install them but not apply the updates from Adobe. The Adobe updater will just claim that it could not make an internet connection (even though you are connected to the internet) and won't update them. If you just drag the most up-to-date versions over (or migrate them with the migration tool when you set up the new iMac) they should work and be as up-to-date as 2007 apps can be, even if that is not the ideal way to install them as opposed to a clean install.

Using Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash player with Yosemite

Has anyone had a problem using Adobe Reader or Adobe Flash Player with Yosemite 10.10.1

Adobe Reader X can only save reader-enabled forms. Adobe Reader XI can save all forms.

There is a driver available for Mac computers, so, yes, it is compatible with Mac OS X.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 compatibility with Windows 8.1

Is Premiere CS3 and Encore CS3 compatible with Windows 8.1 64 bit?

I rather doubt it. CS3 was released back in 2007. You might try it.

Is Adobe CS3 compatible with Mac OS X v.10.7?

I am thinking of purchasing a DTP program but don't need the $699 CS5 version. So will CS3 work with my Mac, running on OS X v.10.7 (Mountain Lion)?

CS3 software (InDesign and/or any other components of the Creative Suite 3) is no longer available from Adobe or any authorized resellers. If you are attempting to buy a copy of CS3 off of eBay, Craig's List, or other such marketplaces, buyer beware. Much of that stuff is pirated or is not eligible for activation. A buyer should require that the seller guarantee that the serial number is valid and capable of being transfered to and re-registered your name. (For that matter, CS5 isn't still available, either!)
In terms of compatibility with MacOS 10.7, CS3 came out long before MacOS 10.7. Adobe does not officially support this configuration with CS3 and you should expect some incompatibilities.

Hdmi compatibility with yosemite

Is it possible that the yosemite update would not allow an hdmi adapter to work on my macbook pro (2012)? Because when we use the adapter on my boyfriends macbook it would work and his laptop wasn't updated with yosemite.

My CS5, everything the suite works on Yosemite, the latest Java Runtime will be required, that's a simple free upgrade.
However, for me personally it is running EXTREMELY sluggish! PS is ok at first, but after 15, 20 minutes simple things like selection tool, switching to another layer, clone brush.
Then erasing..I'll erase something...I get the rainbow spinning wheel for 5, 10 seconds then It shows what I erased, then CTRL+Z to undo and then redo. It lags. not fun!
Not sure..I've read forums where people are ok with Adobe programs, others state the same issues like I am having, Sucks the RAM dry and I have 12GB of it Tweaked the cache and scratch disc settings and no improvements.
Depends on how old the Mac is, mine is a mid 2011 iMac 27in. It ran so amazing in SnowLeopard, Lion. Mavericks, I noticed a slight lag but nothing horrific that annoyed me to no end.
Now. eh.

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

IPhoto compatibility with Yosemite

I just upgraded to Yosemite today and now I can't open iPhoto. When I try to, it says it's not compatible with Yosemite and I need to upgrade in the App Store. I don't have a problem upgrading iPhoto but I want to make sure that I can without losing my photos. Does anyone know?
Thanks.

Lanny, I realize that there is a software update for iPhoto. I just want to make sure that I can run the update without losing my photos. Allan, I have Time Machine set up and run backups regularly. Would that be sufficient should I have a problem updating iPhoto?

Is iDVD compatibility with Yosemite?

Hi, everybody!
When I installed Yosemite in my iMac, I chose to perform a clean installation, so I lost all of my applications. So, I tried to reinstall iDVD but I could't find it in AppStore. As I've read, iDVD really doesn't appears for direct installation, so, I installed it from my iLife CD and updated it to version 7.1.2. But, when I try to run it, the app freezes and I'm obligated to quit it (most of time, force quit) and relaunch it. But, in a few seconds (or minutes), the app starts freezing again and this makes impossible for me to use it.
I thinks it's not a problem caused by lack of memory, since I have 16 GB installed here...
Is the app compatible with Yosemite? If it is, what do you suggest for me to solve this issue? If it's not, could you suggest another good DVD creator?
Thank you!

837.3MB for 59 minutes is incredibly small. What format are these files in?
Formats supported by iDVD 7:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6655.html
iDVD encoding settings:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1502?viewlocale=en_US
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced two-pass technology to encode your video (The first pass determines which parts of the movie can be given greater compresson without quality loss and which parts can’t. The second pass then encodes those different parts accordingly) , resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned about the time taken.
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

FC343LL/A compatibility with Yosemite

Just got a used Time Capsule (2009) version Model, FC343LL/A.
Will this work with Yosemite?

Yes, if the previous owner updated the firmware on the Time Capsule. If not, you will see a message about needing to update the firmware on the Time Capsule.
If that occurs, you will need to have.....or borrow a Mac running an older operating system like Leopard or Snow Leopard to update the firmware on the Time Capsule. A PC with AirPort Utility installed would work as well.
Then, the Time Capsule will have the best chance to work with Yosemite, although you still may need to change some settings on the Mac if AirPort Utility cannot find the Time Capsule.

Adobe cs5 suite compatibility with Yosemite

Has anyone tested Yosemite with the adobe cs5 suite 
Photoshop CS5 Extended
Illustrator CS5
 etc....?

Thank you
I have CS%
I have been using the Adobe products almost daily since the early 90's
You would not beleive how much money I have paid them over the years to keep my Adobe sutes update.
I will not give them any more money as I am ver happy with CS5 and their cloud software is not to be trusted.how it is for me
I am going to retire before I will give them another thin dime.....haaa
Thank you for your advice.
I am guessing that the actual CS%/ CS^ engine was not all that different so I am hoping I am good to go.t
What surprises me is that there is not more information on the SE's regarding Yosemite software compatibility

Adobe CS3 Issues with Snow Leopard 10.6.1

After spending an initial $1,800.00 for CS3, I'm not dropping another $40
0 to $500, just so I can use them under Snow Leopard. Although, I'm hearing a lot of issues with CS4 and Snow Leopard, too.
The problem I have found so far is that when any one of the CS3 applications attempts to check for "Updates...", they crash. I'm unable to update each of the CS3 applications from the original versions on my DVD.
I receive a dialog box that states that "Adobe Updater" quit unexpectedly.
Apple and/or Adobe MUST fix this. I have a newer Intel-based iMac. I completely reinstalled the Mac OS X to Snow Leopard and installed the Adobe apps on a clean computer. ALL of my other applications from other manufacturers are running fine

Can you get your updates from, say, [here|http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=adobe%20upda tes%20photoshop%20cs3&cat=support]. Check fast these are search results. To reproduce what I found, I went to Adobe.com and searched on Adobe updates Photoshop CS3. That's the only CS3 program I searched on.
