Adobe Photoshop 3...Snow Leopard, iMac
When I installed Snow Leopard on my iMac today, all my Adobe products disappeared -- InDesign, Photoshop, Acrobat, Illustrator, Reader, the entire suite. I have my box and serial numbers, but can't find my install disk. What do you suggest?
Thank you for helping. I'm hoping there is a download or easy way to reinstall the product.

I can say that 10.6.4 has worked out the kinks for my white 24" iMac with 7300GT card. From what others have posted here, it appears the x1600 issues have been resolved as well. I was running 10.6.2 prior to this update and advising everyone else of same. Of course, 10.6.2 and SL was not perfect, with some issues cropping up here and there. IMHO the 10.6.4 release is equivalent to the 10.5.3 release by comparison. In fact, I upgraded my Mac mini after my good experiences with 10.6.4 on my iMac. Not sure if this helps or not.

I migrated everything from my Snow Leopard iMac to my new Lion iMac and now when I launch anything in CS5 like Photoshop the Adobe Manager pops up and wants my serial numbers or to start a trial version. I don't have my CS5 serial numbers but wouldn't they migrate over with everything else?
but wouldn't they migrate over with everything else?
Are these PowerPC apps that ran on Rosetta with Snow Leopared?

I backed up 6000+ photos from Snow Leopard iMac v.10.6.7 to new Western Digital "My book" successfully, I think! But when I attempted to COPY my photos to it in order to free up space on my HD, I made a mistake. When I dragged the iPhoto (11) Library to My Book and re-named it to "iPhoto Library.old" nothing happened. So I dragged it again, re-named it again (same name--that was the mistake, I guess!) and then it took about an hour+ to do its thing. When finished and I launched iPhoto by holding down the Option key, the dialog window listed two libraries: "iPhoto Library.old" and iPhoto Library.old (default)". So now what? It seems that I still have the originals when I open iPhoto, and do I have two copies, also? Should I delete one of them and if so, which one and how? Or should I eliminate both of them and start over again? And if so, how do I do that? Right now, neither my HD nor the My Book have changed the number of GB available or free since before I began this process. Will the numbers only change after I actually delete my original Library AND empty the Trash? I appreciate any light you can throw on this subject for me. I could lug it all to the local Genius Bar, but now I'm afraid to unplug anything for fear I'll lose everything! Thank you, you wonderful, bright people. (An 83-year-old Grandma, trying to keep up a little, at least)
Oh my! Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing. But I do know that my goal was to do both---backup AND free some space. My iMAc is old (2006) and I upgraded it a year or so ago to Snow Leopard. I didn't think I had the capability of backing up without an external drive, but maybe I do since I upgraded. Do I?
But I bought this My Book mostly for freeing space because I like to make cards in Photoshop and I'm forever running out of space when I get too many layers (don't really know what I'm doing there, either).
Is there some way that I can rectify my mistakes and start all over?
Thank you so much for beng so prompt with your reply and patient with mine. I tried for so long to see the dialog box with the library listings. When I launched iPhoto, even with holding down the Option key, it kept immediately launching into the full screen. Finally, after an hour of doing it over and over again, it worked when I held the key down for 5 minutes. Then when I was typing my reply, I kept getting a message to "Request Time Out." Didn't know how to do that, so kept hitting the OK button and kept typing for another half minute. Finally, when ready to send, Safari couldn't do it. "Try again" exasperated me until I realized I would have to begin again and use Firefox. When I got there and ready to type, I got the message that my message had been retrienved and did I want to use it?!!
So your kindness is very much appreciated. -
CS4, Adobe Updater, and Snow Leopard
Hello, all. I have installed my copy of CS4 onto a fresh install of Snow Leopard. The adobe updater does not recognize any new updates. I did, however, go to the updates section and download the newest version of camera raw and CS4 11.0.1.
Has anyone else been able to update CS4? Any suggestions? If I recall, I believe there were Bridge updates, etc, since the original release of CS4. I have the original DMG of CS4 for Photoshop, without the patches.
Thanks,I am also in the camp of not receiving new updates from Adobe Updater in Snow Leopard. I did a fresh install as was mentioned earlier as well (erase the disk, install Snow Leopard, followed by Software Update to get 10.6.1 and then installed CS4). Adobe Updater didn't find any updates... Then I installed most (if not all by hand) and then Camera Raw 5.5 came out and I still didn't see any updates. I did end up installing that one by hand as well, but before I did that I lookad at the aum.log file and saw these messages around the Camera Raw queries...

But then again I see those same messages in my 10.5.7 system that works fine... So it doesn't look like it logs anything to explain why its not finding any updates.
I may try uninstalling and reinstalling just to see if that helps... Would be nice to get a resolution to this. -
FaceTime fails to connect snow leopard imac
The setup is a home network with ethernet to an up-to-date snow leopard iMac and the WiFi on the same subnet, running off of a Linksys wft54g with the latest firmware. uPnP is enabled on the router.
From a Macbook Air with Lion on a network at work, I can call and receive FaceTime calls to the iPhone on the home WiFi network.
However, FaceTime rings but fails to connect on the iMac.
So, Facetime to/from iPhone is going through the same home router over the same network using the same DNS, etc.. and it works.
But Facetime to/from the iMac does not. I've tried with the firewall on/off on the iMac as well as google DNS, etc., with no luck.
If the Lion MBA is on the same network, all works fine.
Any ideas? What is different about Facetime btw iPhone and snow leopard iMac that causes this difference?
Much appreciated.HI. I have a macbook air 1.3 ghz intel core i5 / 4gb 1600 mhz ddr3, and i use OS X mav 10.9.4.
Today i tryed to conect facetime either to another same macbook air or iphone 5 and i cant see my camera image.
Facetime opens and i can get audio but no image at all.
Preferences are not available on menu. if i click, it goes gray (notjing shows up) then its impossible to see it.
I have tryed reinstaling os x and also reset smc and nothing worked so far.
I open photo both and image not showing also. open skype and camera preview not showing.
Could it be a problem with my camera? if so, why cant i log in my facetime preferences??

Hi there, I've upgraded my Snow Leopard iMac to Yosemite 10.10.1 and I would like to install Windows 8.1 using bootcamp. However, there's a pop-up saying that my Mac is only supporting Windows 7. Is there a way to change that, please? Thanks
Please find your Mac Model Identifier from About This Mac -> (More Info) -> System Report -> Hardware and compare it to the following list. If your model identifier appears in this list, you can only install Windows 7.

How do i set up a new lion imac from a snow leopard imac using time machine?
How do i set up a new lion imac from a snow leopard imac using time machine?
Connect the two via Firewire cable - Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. Boot the old iMac into Target Disk Mode. Boot the new iMac normally.
If you are starting the new iMac for the first time then do the above before you turn on the new iMac. After you turn on the new iMac you will begin in the Setup Assistant. When you complete the registration screens you will be offered an opportunity to migrate your data from another Mac. Follow the instructions to migrate your old Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences to the new iMac.
If you have already gone through the Setup Assistant and created an initial admin user account, then you do the connection step but will use Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder of the new iMac. -
Photoshop cs4-snow leopard-automatically save files with same name.
Does anyone know how to automatically update a file in another folder that has the same name as the current file? (photoshop cs4-snow leopard)
Does this apply to all files you work on?
How are the parallel files being defined – by location relative to the edited ones, filename, foldername, …?
Will an index of the parallel files have to be written into the files’ metadata?
And what’s behind this, why do you need multiple instances of the saved file, if I may ask? -
There does not seem to be much useful information on cloud related matters. I will eventualy uptae to Lion but not for a while. Meanwhile I would like to know
if my calendar, etc on the iphone were I to update to ios5 and cloud would synch satisfctory (usul caveat) with my snow leopard imac not cloud connected?It is a very impressive phone.
You might want to look at FILES or FILES LITE. I use it for pdf and excel files.
Also, Trapster is very good for directions. And police radar/redlight cameras. -
Unable to print to HP printer in CS4 Photoshop - Snow Leopard iMac
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo/OSX.6/4gigRAM/1TerabyteHD/CS4 Design Premium/ cheap HP Deskjet D1520 Printer.
I have installed the HP Drivers from the original SnowLeopard install of the iMac, yesterday.
I have downloaded and installed from Apple the HP Drivers for Snow Leopard.
I have downloaded and installed from Apple the HP Drivers for Leopard.
I have rebooted endlessly.
No drivers appear in printer set-up except for my Epson Perfection 1260 Photo Scanner.
Using HP Printer Utility does not recognize any print drivers I have installed in the past two days.
I tried using CUPS from the free source group and this printer is not supported in their list.
My printer worked perfectly in Leopard for printing receipts and memos.
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry but your post says that you downloaded HP drivers from Apple, not HP. Be careful with the information you provide if you want an accurate answer. -
Can I use Adobe CS1 on Snow Leopard?
Does anyone have an authoritative answer ? I have the original CS software and need a new Mac. I've heard conflicting reports about 10.6 running the old CS. Should I look for a computer with 10.5?
I suspect what ya get depends partly on what other "things" you have installed, perhaps the purity of one's system has an effect. I had a fresh and pretty much unmodified version of Leopard (no haxies, no batch of fonts other than the system ones, no programs to speak of except Apple's, and so on) that I updated to Snow Leopard.
Also, the reason I haven't updated the CS1 is that I discovered I could do pretty much everything I wanted to do using Photoshop Elements, which can be purchased for 100 bucks or less (depending on where you buy it), and I had gotten sick of Adobe's exorbitant upgrade prices. So I'm now using Elements 99% of the time, I only launch CS1 on very rare occasions to do a couple of things that can't be done using Elements (generally it is creating custom effects and saving them). Depending on exactly what you do, you may not need CS at all. Check out the features for the latest version of Elements for the Mac:

That may be all you need.

Adobe CS5 in Snow Leopard (upgrading from Leopard)
I've heard that there can be a lot of problems with your Adobe CS5 programs (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator) when you're upgrading to Snow Leopard from Leopard. Does anyone know something about this, and can one consider it 'safe' to upgrade regarding the use of those CS5 programs?
Many thanks.Uhhh... No problems to report of of CS5 in Snow Leopard... I have not upgraded my Macs so I may have skewed results. I archive my home folder to my external drive, and then erase the disk and install the new Mac OS.
I will say that Photoshop and Bridge are my favorite applications to use for my panorama photography! It's a dream! -
Upgrading to Aperture 3 on Snow Leopard iMac 4gb, worth the risk?
Friends, thanks in advance for your advice. I currently run Aperture 2 on a 2008 iMac, Snow Leopard, 4 GB. I am frozen in doubt to upgrade to Lion and/or Aperture 3 because of the tremendous number of reports of slowness. My new camera is not supported in RAW on Aperture 2, it's a Fuji x10, which is a great street machine. I wanted to upgrade to get RAW support, and slide show capability.
My questions:
1. If I stay with Snow Leopard and move to Aperture 3 will I be okay? I am maxed at 4 GB RAM.
2. If it does work decently, will I have to stay on Snow Leopard or do you think Apple will figure out the problem so I can use Lion with its multitouch advantages?
Final thought: I fear that Apple is just not committed to Aperture because the math does not add up. Market share versus Photoshop is negligible. I enjoy my iMac, but it appears that the money is flowing to the iPad, and iPhone because of the tremendous user base.Hi Tim,
1. If I stay with Snow Leopard and move to Aperture 3 will I be okay? I am maxed at 4 GB RAM.
I use Aperture 3 on a 2007 MacBook with Snow Leopard. When I upgraded from Aperture 2, I noticed that adjusting pictures is not immediate, like it was in Aperture 2. There is a fractional second delay for most adjustments. This got a bit better in some subsequent release of Aperture 3, but to my recollection, it is not as good as it was in Aperture 2. Depending on which format I am viewing my photos (browser/viewer), the delay may be almost unnoticable or minorly irritating. (Of course, I cannot compare them together anymore, and it has been a year since I used Aperture 2.) Knowing about the delay in adjustments, coupled with the new features of Aperture 3, I still think I am in a better position with Aperture 3 than with Aperture 2.
2. If it does work decently, will I have to stay on Snow Leopard or do you think Apple will figure out the problem so I can use Lion with its multitouch advantages?
When you say "The problem", do mean our perceived lack of performance from Aperture? It's hard to say what Apple is thinking. I have never known a software maker to make software faster in general -- they just wait for people to get faster machines while adding new features to the existing software. We do not know what Apple is working on, but we can all hope they examine their software for inefficiencies and redesign things when they find them.

Aperture is not in the same niche as Photoshop; Apple knows this, too. We have continued to get minor updates to Aperture since version 3 debuted, including one less than 2 months ago. They are still working on it. That's all we can really say, though. If you want to see a whole lot of pure speculation and people getting angry at what Aperture 4 might bring, see this thread about. Personally, I agree mostly with the comments about Apple dumbing down Aperture, making the advanced features harder to find and use -- sort of like how Microsoft has made Windows 7 for the anti-power-user and left the power-user wondering how to do things effectively. That's just our speculation, though. For me, it's mostly based on inane questions in this forum. In other words, if the Aperture team makes Aperture work for the people asking those inane questions, Aperture will probably not be as useful to me as it is now.

Photoshop and Snow Leopard 10.6
Having heard for years about the great support of Apple computers for graphics applications, I'm somewhat surprised to learn from Apple pre-sales personnel that Photoshop CS4 extended and Dreamweaver CS4 at present will not run under Snow Leopard 10.6
Would appreciate confirmation and, if true, estimated dates when we will again be able to run Adobe CS4 products in Snow Leopard 10.6David, thanks for your posts.
I am one of the frustrated users experiencing Photoshop Saving bugs, to the point where the application is unusable.
Is there any way I (or people like me) can actually help Adobe/Apple troubleshoot this issue, especially if the problem is difficult to repeat in your labs?
I can tell you, for example, that with 100% certainty this issue occurs when a file is saved with a NEW NAME to the hard drive. Once you've successfully opened or created a document, and are able to save it once, you can then continue to do regular File > Saves to you heart's content, just like normal.
But, when you go to Save AS (for example, you're working in a layered PSD file and need to save out some flattened JPEGs), that process quite literally becomes a game of Russian Roulette as you begin the frustrating process of random (but quite frequent and repeatable) crashes when Saving As.
As has been noted in other threads, this bug affects non-Adobe apps as well, but ALSO occurs in those other apps (I've seen it in Safari, etc.) when the OS receives the name of a file it is not expecting. My (non-engineer) observation is that the bug is related to harddrive I/O. From what I understand, when a file is saved, the hard drive allocates enough space to save the data in the file. Once that space is established, Snow Leopard seems to have no problem maintaining access to that allocated space for data reading and writing.
However, when you tell Snow Leopard you need to create a NEW file, and it has to allocate NEW space on the hard drive to save that data, *that's* when the error occurs. It seems to have a problem allocating new space on the hard drive, when it doesn't know how big your file is about to be.
Perhaps this problem is related to the new base-10 filesize reporting scheme that Snow Leopard introduced.
Unfortunately no crash reports are generated (the app just "disappears" from running, with no error reported, though you must still Force Quit it from the Dock in order to restart), so I can't share any logs (unless there are some hidden that I don't know about). However, I'm happy to help however I can, I live 3 blocks from Adobe HQ in SF, and I can test out any potential fixes if Apple/Adobe aren't able to replicate the problem.
Thanks,

*** Updated - FIgured this out right after I posted... I simply selected all contacts on the iMac, exported as a .vcf then dragged that into the MBP contacts ***
Problem solved...
*Original Question*
I have a MacBook Pro (MBP) running Mavericks... syncs contacts via iCloud with my iOS devices. My iMac is an original intel model from 2006 which can only run Snow Leopard. I have many contacts on that iMac that I would like to copy into the contacts on my MBP.
I used the 'Address Book Archive' feature on my iMac - transferred that to a flash drive then tried to import into the MBP contacts at which point it said it would replace the contents on my MBP... something I do NOT want to do.
Does anyone have a way of bringing all of my iMac contacts in to the MBP without replacing?
I appreciate any help... Thank you !
