Adobe software - compatibility with intel Macs

I've just bought a new iMac and hoped to be able to run my elderly Adobe software (InDesign 2 & Photoshop 7). I have enabled Rosetta but when trying to install both programs (from the original discs) it made reference to Classic (which I thought was only used to run programs that were native to OS 9). Needless to say, Photoshop did install but crashes every time I launch while InDesign fails to install at all. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any way around it? Or do I have to buy new Adobe software. PS: I have successfully installed and are using, Microsoft Office from 2003.

I am coming from the PC land, I puchased a IMAC QUAD 7 with lots 8 gigs of memory. I tried to install photoshop essentials I think 6 for the Mac it came with a new touchpad. It would not work it crashed immediatly. I installed Photoshop c4 extended, trial version for the Mac it works just fine its problem unlike extended for PC is not 64 bit It only sees 4 of the 8 gigs of memory. It works justfine. It can not open as many pictures at same time but I can only work n one at a time. I am also running Windows 7 64 bit with fusin ware 3. Windows works quiet well. You may be able to run your older photoshop( I believe they came with both Windows and Apple versions) Inside of your apple, fusion and say windows xp are less than photoshop. Just a thought.

Is Adobe CS4 compatable with a mac 10.5.8?

I'm having troubles opening up Ai with my Mac 10.5.8. I open it and click File>New and the screen is still blank with occasional pop-ups about "plug-ins." Not quite sure what to do. Should I uninstall?

Maybe something went wrong when installing
So you should uninstall, run the clean script and then reinstall:

Is MS Office 2001 compatable with intel Macs?

I know Office 2004 works via Rosetta but will the older version work?

I’m going to have to disagree with Peter. I believe Office v.X was the first version to run natively in OSX (I’m using it and it runs very well.)
Office 2001 ran in classic and therefore is not compatible with intel machines- Not 100% sure but if I understand this correctly.... <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272642>

Software compatibility with Intel iMac

I know it's rather early in the game, as it were, but does anyone know if Appleworks comes bundled with the new Intel iMacs. I don't see it listed, but could this be an oversight? Or is Apple getting away from it? I have used it for quite some time and I have many documents in Appleworks, but have no idea what I'd do with them if I got a new Intel iMac--sure, convert them, but to what? I don't look forward to having to "tweak" each doc, as I have had to do in the past when converting from one program to another . . . . Anyone know?

Not yet. Peggy, one of the Appleworks mavens here, is at macworld and is going to try to find out for us.

May I download the latest adobe software on my older Mac 10.7.5?

Which Adobe software? (CreatePDF isn't a download, it's a subscription).

I have a HP workforce 610 and cannot scan. I just spoke with HP and they told me it is a software problem with my MAC for image capture. Anyone else having difficulty?

If Image Capture doesn't work you could try the paid for app VueScan ( www.hamrick.com ). You can try it for free in demo mode to see if it works before purchase.

IMovie plug ins not compatible with Intel Macs

I need a page turn transition for an iMovie 6 project I'm working on. I downloaded one from cfx, but apparently a lot of the plug ins are not compatible with Intel Macs. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

Any GeeThree plug-in that uses flash will no longer work, which include all the WildFX plug-ins. Apple did away with flash support in Quicktime 7.3.1 or newer! Now iMovie is basically unusable without the very cool & professional GeeThree plug-ins. If Apple keeps this up iMovie will probably go the way of the dinosaur. I've talked to Apple about this and they responded "why don't you buy Finalcut Pro". It's what Apple does best, Farm the base.....

BT voyager 205 compatible with intel macs?

Anyone in UK know if BT voyager 205 is compatible with intel macs?
Ive just found out my old speedtouch USB330 isnt yet intel mac compatible and need to buy a cheap new one.
Thanks

Steve,
Don't worry about it... and a warm welcome to Apple Discussions
Unfortunately, there isn't a way, currently, to remove posts although you do have a 15 minute window to make any modifications.
I suspect the 205 that you received and did not work was either faulty or was not set up properly.
Your recommendation of the 210 is a good one and if they are priced similarly then, as I said, the 210 would be a better investment.

Macbook pro compatibility with old mac software!??

Hello! I just got my Macbook pro, and i wanted to know if there was any way to get my old games from my oldschool PowerMac from like 1994 to play on it......it says its not compatible...and that makes me sad..
Thanks
Dan

If your old games are OS 9 programs, then they will not run on the Intel Macs. There is an emulator called SheepShaver (www.macupdate.com) that will run OS 9. Then there's the Mini vMac that emulates an old Mac Plus.
If it's a PPC application and doesn't work then it simply isn't compatible with Rosetta.

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

Adobe photoshop elements2 on intel mac

I installed photoshop elements 2 to my intel mac & when I try to print (Epson photo 1290) a pop up message appears saying ' some PostScript specific print settings (emulsion, interpolation, calibration, encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non postscript printer'.
I have no idea what that means apart from more trouble from my intel mac since the programme worked perfectly well for years on my G4 imac.
The photos print but the darks come out too dark even when I increase brightness.
Any ideas?
btw I installed PE2 until version 4 comes out for mac.
Any help gratefully received

This message is not a "problem." You will always see
that message with any version of PS/PE when you print
to an ink jet printer. It just means that there is
some info, like emulsion, etc. that is not relevant
to your inkjet printer.
It sounds like you need to 1. calibrate your monitor,
2. make sure your images and your working space in PE
are the same (ie, that you are not working on sRGB
jpegs in the Adobe RGB color space), 3. Make sure
that you are not doing double color management for
printing (ie have PE set up to color manage your
printing and then telling your print driver to do the
color management, too.)
Thanks Barbara
I had never encountered the message on my G4 with OS9 so glad to know it's not that significant. The printer dialogue boxes I'm getting with OSX are different too & the only way I can select different papers is through 'more options' in the preview dialogue box & selecting color management. This presumably is what you said I shouldn't do! Also utilities(for checking ink status etc) doesnt appear at the top of the print dialogue box like it used to & I can only get that by going to applications/utilities printer setup page which seems a bit longwinded. My printer appears on the ok list that Epson put out about intel compatability so I'm still a bit confused about what to expect as I'm not familiar with OSX.

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.

Canon imageRunner 3200 with Intel Mac

Hi,
I got my MacBook Pro in late October. Before that I had a iMac G5 and had it connected via TCP/IP to a Canon ir3200. Worked great.
However, it has never worked on my MBP. Not before or after Leopard. Canon's support for this machine is terrible - they simply send you to their dealer, which, in my case, has absolutely no knowledge of software issues. I have downloaded multiple drivers from the Canon site (none of which are explicitly made for Intel Macs or Leopard OS), and none of them work. I have tried downloading drivers and printing via IP, no luck there, either.
I have even tried leaving my G5 turned on and sharing the printer through it. No luck, I get an error message that after research is a result of the Fiery RIP on the Canon not meshing properly with the Intel chipset. (that is a topic for another day, just telling everyone to keep that option from being suggested).
Does anyone have any ideas, or had any luck working with a similar Canon IR series printer on their Intel or Leopard Mac? I am in desperate need of a resolution...saving files to PDF and sending them to the G5 then printing is a hassle.
Thanks for your time and help.

The Canon Au web site does have the UB for the Canon printer board. This is the PS Printer Driver Installer v1.80. This is the link;
http://www.canon.com.au/products/multifunctionals/multifunctionaldigital_devices/irc3100drivers.aspx
As for the W7250, you will have to wait for an update. Our iPF is working but the W series is older and that is the likely issue with the drivers on Leopard. I would expect there to be a newer driver that will work on Leopard, but my experience with Canon (and this is probably the case with other vendors also) is that the current models get priority while the older models can take some time to get updates. Given that Canon doesn't provide direct service/sales on their wide format I am not sure who you could talk to. Maybe try ringing the Sydney office (02 9805 2000) and ask for the National Marketing manager for wide format printers?

Using MS UAM with Intel Macs and Tiger (10.4.6+)

I oversee 50 macs in a server environment. The servers are windows server 2003. About 40 of the macs are able to change their network password via the MS UAM. The remaining macs are intel 10.4.6 and above or intel leopard machines.
Goal: The ability of intel mac users running 10.4.6 and above (leo too) to change their network password.
Let me be clear about the problem.
I have no problem connecting to any share / volume on any server. All file sharing is working properly. The only problem I have is that my users cannot change their password that the network requires for authentication. So, when the password expires, they have to go to a windows machine or use a non-Intel Mac. (I am not 100% sure, but I think this is also happening on 10.4.6+ PPC Mac's...correct me if I'm wrong)
Searching for a solution to this problem was unsuccessful. I found that there is no easy way to get the mac os to use the MS UAM instead of the OS X standard UAM's.
I came across a couple of articles from 2006 (two years ago) that stated there was no fix for this problem, but that apple was working on it. I am starting this thread to renew the subject matter. Does anyone know of a fix for this problem yet? Has Apple stated awareness that the problem exists? Has Apple stated that a fix is in the works?
Please HELP!!!

We have the same problem here --- a high school of mostly Mac clients and only Window Servers.
Hate to think that everyone has to be funneled to an older Mac or a PC in order to do password changes.
I searched <http://www.mactopia.com> about this only to be further 'scared' by what William Smith of Microsoft says in <http://www.officeformac.com/.ee9b2bd>:
-----You should really consider using some third party software. Mac OS X 10.4
-----and higher use AFP 3.2, which has some incompatibilities with AFP 2.2.
-----Microsoft is not planning to update Windows Server with AFP 3.2 but
-----will instead remove File Services for Macintosh altogether after Windows Server 2003.
-----Look into Group Logic's ExtremeZ-IP http://www.grouplogic.com or
-----Thursby's Dave or ADmitMac http://www.thursby.com.
-----Hope this helps!
-----bill

Note the: 'will instead remove File Services for Macintosh altogether after WindowsServer 2003.'
That will make things even worse for those of us with Mac clients and Window Servers.

Photo Editing Software for the Intel Mac

I've just gotten a Nikon D50 and am trying to figure out what software to purchase to use on my Intel Imac. Obviously something that runs natively would be ideal, but "good" performance would be enough. I'm just an amateur photographer looking to improve my pictures.
Aperture is pricey and has gotten mixed reviews. Nikon is coming out with new Capture software next month (NX I believe), but it doesn't look like it will run natively on the Intel Mac.
Photoshop Elements might be the ticket, though of course it won't run natively now. It will, I believe, allow for "spot" editing, something that the still-beta Lightroom won't do, and something I think I want to be able to do.
Should I consider Boot Camp and PSE for Windows? Would that be a better experience than running the Mac version on my Intel machine? Looks like there's better pricing on the Windows version (at least on Ebay) than the Mac version, but so far I have resisted Boot Camp...hoping to stay out of the Windows world as much as possible.
Is there something else I should be looking at?
I know I'm all over the map here...I'm kind of confused, and just want to get to work making some of these pictures look better. Thanks.

I have a similar question. I don't think I need all the power of Photoshop CS or GIMP, but is there a photo editing package that can change backgrounds of photos? For example, change a black background to white? Can iPhoto do this? Can Photoshop Elements run on iMac Intel? Can PS Elements do this kind of editing? Thanks.
