Adobe CS4... on a PowerMac G5... WILL IT?

Have G5 Dual 2.7 and still use Tiger 10.4.11 figuring I'd wait until I have an Intel machine before sliding into Leopard. I use Adobe CS2. Skipped CS3 but am thinking about upgrading to CS4... BUT... not quite ready to ditch my G5 (still under under existing AppleCare contract) for a new Intel machine. Question: Will my G5 REALLY handle the Adobe CS4 suite as presently constituted? I've heard so many differing opinions. I value the advice I get on this forum so you're my final filter. Thanks.

Dear Tim,
I have the G5 revision prior to yours...Dual 2.5 GHz with the nVidia 6800GT GPU...running Leopard 10.5.6 and have been running CS4 for a couple month. I too skipped the CS3 update and have had only minor issues with a few program crashes perhaps due to some leftover CS2 prefs, etc., but nothing consistent or recurring. Performance wise, I find the CS4 programs to be equally as responsive as their CS2 counterparts. As far as full compatibility, I found a few articles on GPU accelerated features and cannot say that I have specifically tested or checked the presence or compatibility of these features with my G5--perhaps these documents will give you some detailed info to consider. In short, my experience is that CS4 operates perfectly well on the G5, so you should not feel obliged to upgrade to Intel solely for CS4 compatibility.
Best of luck,
Chad

  • If I update to Lion from 10.6.8, will Adobe CS4 "upgrade" work?????

    I have Adobe CS4 from an "upgrade".  Will these adobe programs work if I upgrade to Lion?  Please, need an answer ASAP, so I know whether to make my next computer a Mac or a PC!!!!  It is absolutely ridiculous that my friend, who has at least 8 PC computers ( including business computers) is able to use all features of icloud using Win7(which is 16 months old), and I cannot use it on my "Apple" antique using 10.6.8(which is only 9 months old)  (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) for the same purpose. 
    I have never even had a PC, always an Apple product.  Now I get slapped in the face, HARD.  Apple just killed me for EVER buying another Apple computer, if I am unable to use ICloud with my computers which WILL run my adobe products.  I also have an IMac Intel Core duo 3.06, two IPads and a new Iphone.  and now I am done with Apple products I guess, if I have to update to Lion to use ICloud with a computer.  Especially if Lion doesn't support my current expensive suite of CS4(UPGRADE), and other Apps.  What on earth is Apple trying to do, phase out of computers totally? Have a relative who works for Apple, and no one can figure out why the company is so favoring the PC people.  The only thing I can come up with is that Win7 is a far superior program to OS10.6.8, and is likely vastly superior to the current joke of "Lion", and the upcoming "Mountain Lion".  At least Snow Leopards have some dignity, and honesty in their "live" form.  "Lion" is aptly named after an animal widely known for killing and eating cubs of its own species.  Mountain Lions are sneaky, creepy stalkers, who attack suddenly without notice, and kill animals off efficiently and quickly.  Male Mt.Lions also are known to kill the young of their own species, even their own cubs.  I guess these new OS's are aptly named, as they certainly are killing off those who have been faithful to Apple for so long.
    I can buy a PC running Win 7, with the speed, programs, etc., that I need, for far less than a new, comparable Mac, which it seems will require me to purchase all new expensive Apps. (Adobe CS+), etc.  
    Why is Apple unable to either 1) offer its previously totally faithful adherants the ability to use its ICloud service using 10.6.8, which only came out 9 months ago (while Win 7 and Vista users can use the service easily), or at least make its new OS, work with expensive Apps owned by people, which work on 10.6.8, but will not work, so I hear, on "Lion" (and presumably not on "Mountain Lion" either).   Apple is/has turned into a predator of the worst sort, without a single thought or care about previously faithful customers.   WHY? 
    Also, off my wagon and back to my question;  will an "UPGRADE" of Adobe CS4 work with the latest updated "Lion"?  Thanks!

    I went to that page.  Basically, it didn't specifically answer my question, or I am too dense to find the answer.  I understand that there are a few problems with Photoshop, which is the main use (of mine).  I could live with what it says.  I also found that there were problems with CS4, and using the brush tool, when I updated to 10.6.8. Found a fix to that by updating my Quicktime.  Why that works, I have no idea.  I am not a computer whiz, in fact at the other end of the spector, but read on a discussion that this updating of Quicktime worked, so tried it, and it did!
    This community is a life saver for me.  I live in rural Wyoming (I guess all of Wyoming is rural.....) and no one knows anything about Macs.  All my problems have been solved by you great people!  And I thank you !
    My present concern is:  I read somewhere else, that if my version of Photoshop, which is CS4, was purchased as an "upgrade", which it was, then maybe it will not upload to "Lion", as maybe the disk (upgrade), I have, may use Rosetta, which is NOT included in "Lion".   What I have read is that I would have to have a "new" (not an upgrade) version of CS4 in order for it to work with "Lion".   Anyone out there know the answer????  Photoshop users?????
    Geniuses????  If you know, please help me out here.  I love my Macs, but really am irritated that the friends I have tried to talk into buying Mac computers, but didn't, now can enjoy all the advantages of ICloud, with an older version of their computer program (Win 7 OR(!!!)  VISTA,  and I cannot !!!!  Here I sit, with my 2 beloved Macs, both fairly new, 2 IPads, a new IPhone, and I am the one that cannot use ICloud??????  Was it in fact made for PC people, who have become Apple consumers through iPhone and iPad, and not made for the faithful, longtime Apple consumers????  HELP!!!!

  • Adobe CS4 will not install on new macbook pro [was: pro]

    Adobe CS4 will not install on new macbook pro. It is coming from my other macbook.

    Install normally means running setup from the orginal discs or the downloadable trial version. If you are copying from a backup or another computer, that won't work.
    Best advice is to download the CS4 trial, and have your serial number ready in order to convert the trial into a licensed version.
    Get the trial here. Follow the instructions carefully or the download link won't work.

    You can install Adobe Programs ONLY from the originals installer which is provided from Adobe. Time Machine (which is a form of migration) will not result in working Adobe programs. As Bob said, use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, which is also working for CS versions, to wipe out everything from Adobe and start with a clean installing.
    I am not sure, if CS4 is running on Maverick, at least it is not supported officially, your are here alone. It might be so that you have to upgrade your software to a later version.

  • Unable to install Adobe CS4 on Windows 7!

    I just upgraded my laptop's OS from Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 32-bit. When I tried to install Adobe Design Premium CS4 Student Edition back on my laptop, it just doesn't seems to be installing anything. And after an hour or so, it just pop up a window stating that the installation failed with an Error Code 1620. I tried the installation for over 6 times since yesterday till now!
    Back to the time when I used Vista, I had to create a new folder (eg. Adobe CS4) to install the software there (in that folder) and that was when it finally installed the software for me. Of course, I met the neccesary system requirements even before buying the product.
    And now, even when I tried the same technique, it just won't work. I followed all the steps stated (such as restarting my laptop etc) and it just won't work! And according to the reviews on Windows 7, many people has no problem with the compatibility issue of CS4 and their copy of Windows 7.
    Please save me if you have any idea on what's going on with the problem I am facing. I really need help regarding this because my whole life is going to depend on this fabulous software which I have been using it since last year for school and social works!
    Any help will be deeply appreciated!!!

  • Epson Stylus Pro 9800 errors on 32-bit Windows 7 with Adobe CS4

    Epson Stylus Pro 9800 errors on 32-bit Windows 7 with Adobe CS4
    Question: We are experiencing some major errors with printing to our Epson Stylus 9800 Pro. Some of our large files are spooling about 16K, then crashing Photoshop. Sometimes we are getting partial prints (the left most 3-4 inches of print, or the file starting to print about 1/2 way into the file itself), sometimes it just spools for a few minutes, then stops, with nothing coming from the printer at all.
    At Epson's request, we have tried the following:
    reinstalling Windows 7 print driver
    Reinstalling Adobe CS 4
    Installed NEW NIC in printer
    Installed new network line to printer
    Installed new main board on printer
    Printed from a PC directly connected to printer via USB and crossover cable
    This issue is very bizarre in that it is random and sporatic. Same file will cause one of the above errors, then, another attempt to print same file will be successful. We have several Windows 7 machines that get the issue, while several Windows XP machines are fine. Epson instructed us to install the newest (win7) driver on the XP machines, issue then affects XP machines. Uninstalling new driver and re-installing old driver on XP machines resolves issue on XP machines.
    Is this an issue with the Epson driver? CS4 on Windows 7? Or some other malady?

  • Using iPhoto 09 with Adobe CS4

    Hi,
    I am trying to use iPhoto 09 with Adobe CS4.
    I have Adobe as the default external editor and when I click on edit file, it opens the file in CS4. The problem is when I save the file, the changes are not reflected in the image and don't show up in iPhoto.
    I found this:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    But that doesn't work for me. The original file just shows up again. Any ideas?
    Thanks..

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The following will help you use PS with iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..

  • After upgrading to Lion my white MacBook I can't launch Adobe CS4 Applications. Please help!

    Everytime I try launching an Adobe CS4 application (Photoshop, Illustrator, watever...) I keep getting this kind of message, more or less:
    "To open [Photoshop] CS4 you should install a Java executed environment, but you are not connected to the internet"
    And I am! Why can't I run any of those applications? Can anyone please help me?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Carolyn, thank you for your help.
    I tried what they recommend on the Adobe pages, but the problem seems to be that the internet connection is not being detected.
    I tried opening Java Preferences and a similar window appeared saying a Java environment is needed but I am not connected to the internet - but obviously I am.
    As soon as I can solve this problem I will try what you recommend.
    Can you please help me with the connection issue? As you may see, the window suggests to open the Network Diagnostics preferences panel. When I do, I get a good diagnosis but when I ask to verify the connection and enter the WEP password it fails to connect. I close the Prefs panel and connect again using the signal icon above, and I am back online!
    Thank you again, Carolyn.

  • Adobe CS4 Design Premium Compatability

    Hello,
    My daughter is required to use Adobe CS4 Design Premium by her School. I will have to buy a new laptop for this purpose. In this regard, I have few queries:
    Most laptops come with Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit) OS. Since the Adobe website states that this program is certified for 32-bit, I am not sure whether CS4 could perform perfectly on Vista 64-bit platform?
    If the answer to the above is yes, then I intend to purchase a laptop with specs of Intel Duo 2 Core T6500 (2.1 Ghz 800 FSB 2MB Cache), 4GB RAM DDR2 800 MHz, display 1280 x 800, and 250GB 5400 rpm hard drive. Is this hardware sufficient to run CS4?
    I am a layman as far as technology is concerned. I called up Adobe technical support 2 times: first time they said it wont work and second time they said it will work!!. I am totally confused. Since this means a significant investment to me, I request help and guidance from anyone on this subject.
    Thanks,
    AlokSaap

    As you realize, the sky is the limit in terms of how you can configure a system. You could literally spend $10,000 on a new production PC but that certainly would not necessarily buy you any advantage unless you had particular needs that could take advantage of the extra juice that such a pricey configuration provides.
    The problem with your request is that it doesn't say really what the typical user of these 2 to 3 new production PCs will actually be doing. For example, are they doing simple web page design in Dreamweaver with occasional entry into Photoshop to edit low resolution images for web display? Or are they jack-of-all-trade designers with windows open in InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator simultaneously dealing with graphically very complex and large files? Dedicated to graphics work or are there half a dozen browser windows plus Outlook (or some other e-mail client) open simultaneously?
    Personally, I tend to “over-configure” on the basis that if I buy high quality systems not quite at the bleeding edge, but closer to the leading edge, I'll have a system that has a useful lifetime of at least four to five years although Adobe does “allow” its engineering employees' systems to be replaced every three years. I am currently running on a Dell Precision 5400 workstation (current model is 5500) with dual Xeon Quad Core 3ghz processors, 8GB of memory, two 15000rpm SAS (serially attached SCSI) 300GB disk drives, a DVD+/-R burner, gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth, and an nVidia Quadro FX 1700 video card driving a Dell 3007WP 30" monitor (2560x1600pixels). I have a very pedestrian Dell keyboard, but a Microsoft 8000 Bluetooth mouse. I do run quite a bit of stuff on this system using it as the hub in my office for running backups of other systems (to a bunch of IEEE1394-attached external drives), running InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop often in parallel, running tests against a development copy of the Adobe PDF Print Engine running on my system, as well as having e-mail and browsers open at all time. This system is running Vista Ultimate SP2 64-bit. This is really overkill for most users.
    What you can get away for your users with of course depends on the tasks they will be running per my questions in the second paragraph above. Without those answers, some generalities:
    (1)     Unless you are doing heavy video work, you really don't need more than one processor. A single processor at approximately 2.5 ghz or better with either 2 or 4 cores will do fine in most cases.
    (2)     Memory is relatively cheap and will enhance performance more than almost any other resource you can buy today. In conjunction with that, go for either Vista 64-bit or Windows 7 64-bit (stay away from XP 64-bit like the plague). Why? Even though only Photoshop currently has a 64-bit version that can take advantage of 64-bit processing on its own, the 64-bit OS supports more than 3GB of memory and as such allowing larger amounts of real memory, you avoid the tremendous amount of disk thrashing that goes on as part of virtual memory paging operations when a whole bunch of applications running concurrently are competing for a small amount of real memory. I personally recommend 8 GB of memory in conjunction with Windows 64-bit as a minimum, even on new notebook systems!
    (3)     Disk performance is also key, especially if you are dealing with large data files. As such, 10000rpm Serial ATA or 15000rpm SAS (serially attached SCSI) drives make a tremendous, noticeable difference in performance. However, high performance disks are quite pricey, especially the SAS ones since it is now a limited, specialty market. (For new notebook systems, avoid anything other than 7200rpm drives - the difference in cost for a 5400 versus a 7200rpm drive is quite small now. I just bought a new 500GB 7200rpm drive to update my notebook system - the cost of the drive was less than $150.)
    (4)     You don't need a smoking video card (those things that cost upwards of $500 to $1000) to support the Adobe Creative Suite unless you are doing extensive video work or playing high performance video games in your spare time. Typically, a mid-range video card that supports very high resolution (such as 2560x1600) will be fine. What you don't want, either on a desktop system or a notebook computer, is an “integrated display adapter” that shares memory with the CPU. Typically, such video support appears on low end desktop and/or notebook computers - avoid like the plague!
    (5)     For desktop systems, I'm partial to large, high resolution monitors even though my vision is quite good. I'm dealing with graphic arts and I need/want both high resolution and real estate. Although these 30" 2560x1600 monitors are relatively expensive, with reasonable care, they can last for years. I have one such monitor that is now in its fifth year with no degradation of quality. Cost per day is very low to keep your eyes from going crazy and to make your work more efficient. Once you use one these babies, you can't go back!
    (6)     No preference on motherboards. That decision is generally made for you if you order a system from a major vendor. I personally am not into build-it-yourself systems. Not that I can't build those, but quite frankly, my own time is worth something and my biggest problem is having enough time to do everything I want. I get no particular pleasure in DIY computer building.
    More if you give me more specifics about the usage profiles for the systems you will need to purchase.

    Hello,
    Is Adobe CS4 compatible with Mac OSX Maverick?
    Thk

    I just upgraded my OS to Mavericks X, and my previously installed Photoshop CS4 failed to run when I tried to launch it.
    I even downloaded a brand new version from a link here that was in a "Mavericks X" column, giving me SOME confidence that it might just function on the new OS.
    So far, I've been down 3 days since upgrading my OS. I cannot get Photoshop CS4 to run, no matter what I've tried!
    Yes, I've uninstalled the prior version before installing the new one. I entered all of my serial number and registration information, and still NOTHING! Bridge appears to work fine, but Photoshop CS4 is just one big crater right now!
    I'd like to just talk with a human at Adobe on the phone for a few minutes, which should be all that's needed to get it resolved, but they do NOT offer phone support for Photoshop products!!! And, I'm unable to locate how to even become a "Premium Member" (paid) that will allegedly provide phone support!
    HELP!

  • Setting preferences in Adobe CS4

    Adobe CS4 programs will not display the folders on my computer when I try to save a file or perform a function. For example when using the Export function in Fireworks the drop down menu will not display the folders on my computer. The middle is missing. I have the top which has Save as: a folder is displayed; if I want to change the folder only the most recent folders used are displayed. So I have to save it and then go to Bridge and transfer the file to the folder I want. The three buttons are also missing at the top left: red,yellow,green in the Export Box. How do I change the settings?

  • Adobe CS5  Production Premium vs. Adobe CS4 Production Premium

    Hello:
    I am currently a worker at a production studio and we are thinking about upgrading our system Adobe CS3 Production Premium to either Adobe CS4 Production Premium or Adobe CS5  Production Premium.  Our company was at NAB convention in Las Vegas this year and were convinced that Adobe CS5 Production Premium was the way to go.  However we come to find (after purchace) that Adobe CS5 Production Premium only runs on (and correct me if Im wrong) 64 bit.  Now stuck with a system we cant use on our vista 32 bit I was wondering what are the beneifits between the two and if CS5 is really that great is it worth while to upgrade my computer systems.  I am sure I am not the only one to have run into this problem.  Any input or advice would be great.
    Sincerely,
    Really Confused

    Look HERE for a quick summary of the new features in After Effects. I can personally attest to the power of the new rotobrush. If you do that kind of work, it will save you a ton of time. Rendering times are considerably faster and being able to RAM preview a 30 or 40 second clip all the way through at full res is finally a reality.
    Look HERE for a summary of the new features in Premiere Pro. The major improvement here, in my opinion, is the ability to preview a multi-layer timeline with several effects in real time at full res without rendering.
    I can't tell you if it's worth it to you to upgrade or not. All I can say is that I'm really happy with it, so far.
