Can anyone dispel the rumours of using CS2 on an intel G5 imac

We need to buy yet another G5 imac. We have a 20" G5imac NON intel and want to buy another but the only option left now seems to be the new intel G5.
We need to run the whole CS2 suite on this from Pshop through to iDesign and I have heard rumours that it's not very compatible with CS2. It runs very smoothly on the machine I'm on now no probs.
Please can someone clear this up for me and point me in the direction of a report from apple or adobe that outlines, if any, any issues there are.
Cheers

I don't think Red Dwarf and I have opposing points of view. He has not installed Version Cue. I'm not sure, but I don't think he uses CS2 to make a living. So he is not trying to do intensive things with the software, especially Photoshop. I also have CS2 on my iMac Intel Core Duo. I have all of Adobe's current updates. It works but, CS2 certainly runs slower than it does on a G5. When Steve Jobs introduced the iMac Core Duos in January, he made a point in his presentation that if you need to make a living with things like CS2 on a Mac, the G5s were still the better choice until 3rd party software is Universal binary, which means that it will run native on the Intel chip.
A search of this forum will show you many folks with CS2 installation problems and compatibility problems. And presently both Apple and Adobe tech support refuse to assist because it is PowerPC software running in emulation on an Intel OS X.

    Have you been trying to download from the app store? Did you get a message?
    As a suggestion, you might go to an Apple store (genius bar appointment) for help. As far as I know, there should be no charge.

    Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.

  • I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera.  Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ?  What hardware and software should I include in the package?

    I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera.  Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ?  What hardware and software should I include in the package?

    This is quite an open suggestion, but here are some ideas which might get you started.  There are good HD cameras in your price range from Sony, Panasonic and Canon (and maybe other manufacturers). Tapeless formats vary.  I have only worked with Sony XDCAM which seems pretty good to me.  File sizes for material shot at 35MBS are not too huge and, with the free Sony transfer and conversion programme, are easy to bring into the computer via USB direct from the camera or from a fairly inexpensive converter.  The Sony XDCAM EX3 can produce results well up to broadcast quality.
    As to hardware, you'll need a powerful MAC - iMac, Macbook Pro or MacPro with 4GB or more of RAM and a good video card.  Softwarewise, FCPX is quite a bit cheaper than FC Studio 3 and of course it's 64bit and can make better use of multi-core machines than FCP7.    It's also designed to handle HD formats with less hassle than FCP7 and is matched to the latest versions of Motion and Compressor.   But you'd probably be wise to search reviews of FCPX before you make your choice - it has some issues.
    A good HD monitor will be essential and, for colour correction etc, you may want to consider a second monitor or HD TV foe editing. ( A MacPro is generally the best machine to connect a second monitor to). 
    This should give you a good editing system, but there are many other things you could add (Photoshop, professional sound monitors, etc)
    Hope this helps a bit.

    I'm trying to delete multiple pix in iPhoto that i stupidly made duplicates of without knowing, I've tried going into the applications folder and using image capture but i think I've missed a step , can anyone send the correct info / steps pls thanks

    again image capture is not involved with deleting photos from iPhoto in any way ever
    the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager is very good for finding duplicates as is Duplicate Annihilator
    And I have no idea who told you this - or what it means - but re-read both of my opening statements
    I was told I could delete multpiles thru image capture by transferring my iPhoto library etc

  • Is my iMac now useless as i have installed lion and i am no longer able to run cs2 photoshop and illustrator as this is all i use my mac for they should make this clear before buying it i can't afford the latest version of cs2

    is my iMac now useless as i have installed lion and i am no longer able to run cs2 photoshop and illustrator as this is all i use my mac for they should make this clear before buying it i can't afford the latest version of cs2 and cant believe what a waste of money it is.

    The newest version of CS2 is CS5. And it was made very clear that these applications would not run in Lion. Not only by Apple, but on all sorts of communities and websites. It has been a long time coming - PowerPC apps were outdated six years ago. Lion does not support Rosetta, and therefore not PPC apps.
    you have to options. Go back to Snow Leopard or upgrade your software. (MS Office 2004 and older will not run either).

  • Can anyone confirm the date used for pushing the data into AR interface table? Is it abse don Actual ship date or scheduled ship date?

    Can anyone confirm the date used for pushing the data into AR interface table? Is it abse don Actual ship date or scheduled ship date? We are facing a scenario where trx date is lower than the actual ship to which logically sounds incorrect.
    Appreciate any quick response around this.

    Hi,
    Transaction date  will be your autoinvoice master program submission level date (If you haven't setup any logic.
    Please check the program level default date, if user enter old date ststem will pick the same.
    Customer is trying to set the value of the profile OM:Set receivables transaction date as current date for non-shippable lines at the responsiblity level. System does not set the transaction date to current date in ra_interface_lines_all.
    CAUSE
    Customer has used the functionality in R11i. But after the upgrade to R12, the system functions differently than R11i.
    SOLUTION
    1.Ensure that there are no scheduled workflow background process run.
    2.Set the profile "OM: Set Receivables Transaction Date as Current Date for Non-Shippable Lines"  at Responsibility level only as Yes.
    3.Now switch the responsibility to which the profile is set.
    4.Create order for Non-Shippable Lines and progress it to invoicing.
    5.Ensure that the 'workflow background process' concurrent program is run in the same responsibility and this line is considered in it.
    6.Now check if the 'SHIP_DATE_ACTUAL' is populated to ra_interface_lines_all

    How are you viewing your library? In Song view or Album View?
    If in Album view pull down View > Show View Options and select Sort by: Artist, then: (whichever choice you want here).
    If in Song view I like to see the album artwork so pull down View > Show View Options and select "show album artwork" and close the small window. Then click on the column that contains the artwork and sort it by Artist.

  • HAVING TROUBLE SAVING ITEMS IN LION AS IT IS DIFFERENT THAN SNOW LEAPORD... CAN ANYONE SHARE THE CORRECT PROCEEDURE?

    I'M HAVING TROUBLE USING THE SAVE FEATURE IN LION AS IT'S MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THAT IN SNOW LEAPORD, CAN ANYONE SHARE THE CORRECT PROCEEDURE TO SAVE A DOCUMENT?

    Revert back to Snow Leopard would be the ideal choice.
    Not writing in all caps would be nice too, it's SHOUTING
    Thirdly, Lion introduced auto-save, so you have to duplicate the file, then open the duplicate to make changes.
    Wonderfully asinine.
    Quit the program, it will ask you to save.

    Short text
    Read detailed information for work breakdown structures
    Functionality
    You use this method to read detailed information about project definitions and the WBS elements of certain projects from the system.
    Notes
    Enter the project definitions and/or the WBS elements, which you want detailed information about, in the parameter PROJECT_DEFINITION or I_WBS_ELEMENT_TABLE respectively.
    If you only enter project definitions, the details of all the WBS that belong to the project definitions are read including the hierarchy. If you explicitly enter WBS elements, only these are read.
    Messages are returned in Return parameters. For information about the return values and their meaning, see the parameter documentation.

    Can anyone explain the functionality of FM f4ut_parameter_get_values ?
    This is used in search help to retrive values from screen.This doesnt seem to work for me

    hi,
    check this
    F4UT_PARAMETER_VALUE_GET
    Short Text
    Standard search help exit for determining contents of a srch help par.
    FunctionalityBy calling this module in a search help exit, you can find out the current contents of a search help parameter . To do this, you must pass the name of the parameter in PARAMETER.
    You must distinguish between the parameter contents that are used in the selection process of the input help process and the parameter contents that are determined by the selection process and the user selection.
    Parameter contents that are used in the selection process are default values of search help parameters, values that are included in the input help process by attaching the search help to the screen from field contents of the screen or its module pool, and possibly complex restrictions made by the user in the dialog box for restricting value. Such parameter contents can also be included in the input help process by the search help exit itself.
    The contents of the specified parameter used in the selection process are stored as complex restrictions in SELOPT_TAB after the call. If exactly one value is defined by these complex restrictions (for example if the restrictions have exactly one row and if SIGN = 'I' and OPTION = 'EQ' for this row), this unique value can be found in VALUE.
    Parameter contents that are determined by selection process and user selection are the parameter contents that are shown in the dialog box for displaying the hit list or returned on the screen. They are managed by the F4 processor in RECORD_TAB.
    This module enables you to transfer the information about the specified parameters from RECORD_TAB to RESULTS_TAB in edited form.
    Pass the name of the field of RESULTS_TAB that should contain the contents of the parameter to the function module in parameter FIELDNAME. If the row type of RESULTS_TAB is elementary, pass the value '*' in FIELDNAME. The rest of RESULTS_TAB is not changed. The values are copied row by row. By removing rows at the end or by adding intiial rows you can make sure that RESULTS_TAB has exactly as many rows as RECOD_TAB.
    Example
    You can find an example of the second kind of use of the module in the search help exit SAPBC_GLOBAL_F4_SFLIGHT of search help SFLIGHT.
    Both types of use can be found in the search help exit SAPBC_GLOBAL_F4_SFLIGHT_MIN_FR of search help SFLIGHT_MIN_FREE .
    Notes
    1. Parameters OFF_RESULT and LEN_RESULT should not be used any more since there are basic problems when using UNICODE. The contents of these parameter are still analyzed when parameter FILEDNAME is initial for compatibility reasons.
    2. Only the dialog box for restricting values can normally produce complex restrictions for a parameter.
    3. If VALUE has the value SPACE, this means that either there are complex restrictions for the parameter or the unique contents are SPACE. SELOPT_TAB must be evaluated in order to determine which of these is the case.
    4. If the search help does not have any parameter with the given name, the exception PARAMETER_UNKNOWN is triggered.
    5. Only parameter contents for the search help displayed in the hit list or the EXPORT parameters of the search help are first managed in RECORD_TAB. If the specified parameter does not satisfy one of these conditions and if parameter RESULTS_TAB is specified in the call, the exception PARAMETER_UNKNOWN can also be triggered. This is not true, however, if results were already entered for the parameter with function module F4UT_PARAMETER_RESULTS_PUT or if space was reserved for the parameter in RECORD_TAB with function module F4UT_PARAMETER_ALLOCATE. The parameter therefore should only be defined if information about the parameter contents are really required.
    6. The header lines of the specified parameter are also transferred from RECORD_TAB to RESULTS_TAB.
    7. The other parameters of this module must be defined as the parameters of the search help exit having the same name, but they are not changed by this module.
    8. RESULTS_TAB should be a standard table.
    9. The contents of the specified parameter in RECORD_TAB are copied to the specified field of table RESULTS_TAB with a MOVE of the correct type. If this is not possible, the target field is assigned the initial value.
    10. If RESULTS_TAB has no field with the name specified by FIELDNAME, only the number of rows of RESULTS_TAB is adjusted to those of RECORD_TAB as described.
