Can Adobe Illustrator 5.5 work on Mac OS9 or OSX?

I have Adobe Illustrator 5.5 and need to read some files that were created using this program. However I am uncertain whether this program can be installed on my iMac OSX (10.1.5) or on the OS 9 that is also on this iMac.  Can anyone help?

Nobody has Illustrator CS5.5 yet. I believe Illustrator was not upgraded, so it may still be branded as CS5. So I will assume you are using Illustrator 5.5 from the ’90s. My guess is it will run on Mac OS 9. It may run in older OS-X versions, but I would bet against it.
Current versions of Illustrator can read your old 5.5 files. You can install a 30 day fully functional demo of the current version to test or convert them.

  • Adobe illustrator download not working on mac

    when i download it and i click on it, it says "its not supported on this architecture"

    Without knowing the processor you are using, as requested in Message #1, I will have to assume that none of you meet the minimum system requirements to run Photoshop Lightroom 4 or Illustrator CS6.  You can find the system requirements for Photoshop Lightroom 4 listed at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/tech-specs.html.  For Illustrator CS6 the system requirements are at http://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator/tech-specs.html.

  • Can Adobe InDesign 3 be used on Mac Yosemite OS?

    Can Adobe InDesign 3 be used on Mac Yosemite OS?

    Congratulations, Jackie. There are some people who have had an early version (CS3, CS4) on their computer and upgraded to Yosemite, and it continues to work.
    However, it's very touch and go, and if you have to newly install or reinstall, there are no guarantees, and no support.

  • Can Adobe Illustrator match inner bevel effects of inDesign and Photoshop?

    Can Adobe Illustrator match or simulate inner bevel effects of inDesign and Photoshop? If it is possible, please explain how to get a soft inner bevel on type or vector shape in Adobe Illustrator CS4 that can be set up to be identical (or, at least, very close) to the layer styles of PS and the type/fill/stroke/object effects of ID. So far, I have not been able to achieve the same look with 3D extrude and bevel in AI. I want a solid red object with a soft 16 point white-tint highlight and a soft 16 point black tint shadow. If it is not something that is possible with 3D extrude and bevel settings, this something that must or could be done manually with the gradient mesh tool?

    I’ve vectorized everything except the 3D red portion.

  • How to develop a simple plugin for adobe illustrator cs2 using xcode on mac os

    I would like to know the steps to develop a simple plug-in for adobe illustrator cs2 using xcode on mac OS...anything like a dialog box displaying "hello World"... I m new to MAC OS...Please help...
    Thanks in advance

    Get the SDK and start playing with the sample plug-ins. Asking for something as general as "how do I get started" is asking a little much from this forum :) Try your hand at the SDK and come back to ask more specific questions as you run into them.
    Bear in mind that this isn't an Xcode forum either, though I'm sure there are places to get good help on that!

  • How can i up date pages on my mac I have osx 10.6.8

    how can i up date pages on my mac I have osx 10.6.8

    To update Pages, open  > Software Update, if you purchased Pages on a DVD, or open the App Store > Updates, if you purchased it from the Mac App Store.
    Note that the most recent Pages only works in Lion or Mountain Lion, so you can install the most recent version for Snow Leopard or the version you have now, If you want the latest Pages '09 version, upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion

  • Adobe Illustrator CC wont work after upgrading

    My adobe illustrator CC updated recently and now it wont open. I've only got a small imac and I'm running Snow leopard on version 10.6.8. I know it may be down to my software but in my app store I can't seem to get Maverick and I don't want to upgrade to Yosemite as I don't feel my computer can handle it. Please help is there any way I can go back a version in Illustrator so I still have a working version as I'm paying for it but can't get it to work?

    Hids It is not possible to run the current version of Illustrator CC on Mac OS 10.6.8.  I would recommend that you install Illustrator CS6 if you need to continue to utilize Mac OS 10.6.8.  Illustrator CS6 is currently included as part of your Creative Cloud membership.

  • Convert Adobe Illustrator CS6 Win license into Mac license

    Dear All,
    some time ago I've purchased Adobe Illustrator CS5 as well as CS6 upgrade Win. Now I converted from Windows 7 to Mac OS X Maverics.
    On the page "My Products and Services" along with the serial numbers the Adobe Illustrator CS5 and CS6 Upgrade have as platform in both cases "Win" instead of "Mul". How can I get the "Mac" versions in conjunction with these Serial numbers?
    I'm aware that it is still possible to run the Windows versions within Parallels 10 (Windows Emulation within Mac OS X), but I think this is no good solution.
    Your help is greatly appreciated!
    Best Regards,
    Waveguide

    Waveguide,
    I am afraid this is a matter to discuss with Adobe.
    You may try to have a chat here, at least for a start:

  • My keyboard commands in Adobe Illustrator aren't working after the new update

    Hello,
    I like many others have done the new software update for the Mac - OS X Yosemite. And theres been a few bugs I've experienced. Along with slow internet my Adobe Creative programs have been acting up.
    Mainly Adobe Illustrator CS5.5 - first was the font preview playing up but have fixed that with reduce transparency option. But now and the more annoying one is keyboard command keys are not working.
    Main ones I have notice so far are: Delete, Shift + Command anything, Tool Bar shortcuts i.e Selection Tool (V) etc.
    Its incredibly annoying and is actually interfering with my ability to work especially the simple one of deleting. I have seen a lot questions similar but to other programs and other suite versions. Please have anyone found an solution or please Adobe gives us the key to resolve this as it is a major inconvenience and is stopping productivity.
    Many Thanks
    Phoebe K

    Phoebe,
    Item 7) in 5) (follow the link) in the general list below shows the usual suspects. You may use that to find out which to avoid.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Adobe Illustrator 7.0 install on Mac.

    I purchased old Adobe Illustrator 7.0, but I can not install it on Mac mini.  Could you tell me how to install it on my Mac Mini?
    Because when I tried to install it, but after insert the CD-ROM one window comes out as follow as:
    you can't open the application "Install Adobe Illustrator 7.01.1" because the classic enviroment is no longer supported.
    Is it possible I can install it?
    Thank you for your time and  I look forward to hear from you soon.
    Akira Kurihara

    As kglad said, it's not compatible. The last version of OSX that supported the classic environment was 10.4 and that was 8 years ago.
