Can CS3 be installed on Mac OS X 10.3 or 10.4?

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

the earliest version CS3 will install and run on is 10.4.8
It is recommended that you run 10.4.11 though.
It will not install or run in 10.3.x

Lion comes with FaceTime. Look in your dock or in the Applications folder.

PKG can't silent install on Mac Os 10.5

I have made an Installer by PackageMaler3.0.6 on Mac OS 10.8. Also I have add a JavaScript function in Distribution,This function use for detect the certain App is running or not. Some code like this:
var allProcess = new Array();
allProcess = system.applications.all();
var allProcessCount = allProcess.length;
If I normally install (With Installer UI) this pkg on 10.8,10.7,10.5, it's Ok, all function works fine. If i use command line to silent install On 10.8,10.7 it's OK, no error. But if i silent install on 10.5.8, there will be an error in terminal(JavaScript error), can't install. If i remove the code of "var allProcessCount = allProcess.length;" It can silent install on 10.5.8, once if added the code like "allProcess.length" ,there will be an error,it looks like can't use the array property in silent install on 10.5, but 10.7,10.8 it's OK and install with UI it's also Ok on 10.5. Did anyone knows how can i slove this issue? Thanks!!!

OS X Lion came installed on Mac Air, can I also install to Mac Mini for free?

I bought a new Mac Air that comes preinstalled with OS X Lion. I know if you purchase OS X Lion from the App Store, you are able to install the software on both a desktop and laptop. Can I install OS X Lion for free on my Mac Mini since I technically just purchased OS X Lion (when I bought my new Mac Air)?
Thanks,
Zack

You should really ask this question directly to Apple, but in general, no. You'll need to buy Lion to install it on computers you already own.

Can Tally be installed on mac os x ??

...i know this question has popped up quite sometimes but i just want to see if there are any updates on this matter !

CS3 and PowerPC Mac - can't get Photoshop CS3 to install

I'm using a PowerPC based Mac - OSX v 10.4.11. I tried to install the CS3 suite - some apps installed fine, some did not. Photoshop CS3 did not install. Now when I try to use PS CS2 quite a few features are missing, particularly in the filters menu. Has anyone seen this? Please help!
Thanks

You almost certainly will have to remove CS3 from your System before you can re-install CS2. After you have installed CS2, you can then re-install CS3 in addition.
Use the Adobe Uninstaller and run the CleanScript as well for good measure.

Then repair permissions both before and again after installing the software.

Can't install or remove Acrobat 8 (CS3 Web Premium for Mac)

I installed CS3 Web Premium on my Mac (Leopard 10.5.1).
All is well, except Acrobat 8 Professional doesn't install. When I mount the DVD and try to install it, it says it's already installed on my computer. Except, it isn't. So, since it thinks it's already installed, there isn't an uninstall option available anywhere.
I've removed the entire CS3 suite, ran the utility Adobe provides for cleaning everything, and yet it still doesn't work.
Any ideas? Is this something I have to wait for Adobe to fix due to Leopard? Every other CS3 app works fine, except Acrobat.
Thanks!

Hi Amitoj,
I tried your procedure, but it does not work.
In /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers, there are two files: Adobe InDesign CS3 and Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium.
I clicked on the Add or Remove Adobe CS3 Web Premium link, which launches the Setup file for CS3. In the Manage Adobe CS3 Web Premium Components screen, I can choose between Install or Reinstall, or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium Components.
If I select Install or Reinstall and click Next, the next screen shows that Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional is already installed (but it's actually not). In the bottom panel, titled Select the components you want to reinstall, Acrobat, of course, is not listed since the installer think it's already on my system, as I just noted.
If I press Back and select Remove Adobe CS3 Web Premium Components, all my CS3 applications are listed, except Acrobat 8!
So, I can't install Acrobat 8 since it thinks it's already installed, and I can't remove it because, well, I can't figure out why.
Thanks for your help.

Mac OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues

Hi,
I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X installed and Adobe CS3.
I've installed a font. The font works in Photoshop and Illustrator
but not in Flash CS3. Why? I've put the font in the Library/Fonts
folder and the User/Fonts folder and it still doesn't show up in
Flash. Apparently this is a problem for a number of people see
another forum here:
MAC
OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues Forum
Please let me know what to do to fix this. I need to be able
to work with the font in all three applications Flash, Photoshop
and Illustrator.

Hi davidd61713525,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
Unfortunately, it looks like something is wrong with the file system and the installer can't see the root drive to install to. A Google search returns numerous results affecting various products and the recurring theme is that something is wrong with the disk. There are many recommendations from various sources, but nothing definitive.
Here's a similar thread over on the Apple forums:
Broken Installer Permissions | Apple Support Communities
And a similar older one:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1203509
I would try the following options:
Try using the PKG installer. This is used Mac SysAdmins to install Flash Player within their organization and uses a slightly different installer path, which may or may not work.
Some people have had success with disk and permissions repair some have not. You can try running a disk and permissions repair. After the disk and permissions repair is complete, reboot the system and try to install again using either the online installer (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) or the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
If these options do not work, I'd reach out to Apple support to see if they have a suggestion. If you do find a resolution to this, please let me know. I'll be happy to share it with people that encounter the problem in the future.

Safari won't quit, so I can't install Office Mac.

Hey guys. I got my new Office Mac, and I was hoping to install it. It said Firefox and Safari needed to close. Firefox was a snap (good job guys!), but Safari is doing HORRIBLE. It is not forcing to quit at all, and I don't want to restart or shut down (I bet it wouldn't work.) Now, according to THIS issue... I can't install my Mac Office 2011, and THAT on the other hand stinks, because I need it for school projects.
Is anyone willing to offer advice??? Thanks!!!

You say even force quitting won't work? When Safari is open hold down Option + ⌘ + Q.

Late 2008 macbook 13" prompts mac OS can not be installed on this computer after booting from disc as l get the folder with the question mark screen. New HDD or ?

From the little research l have done, l have been convinced l may be having a dead hard drive though after having tried all the other troubleshooting tips found here, when trying to boot l get the grey screen and folder with the question mark suggesting it can not find the files neccessary to boot hence l tried booting with the disc and the message l get is that mac OS X can not be installed on this computer, though after doing the hardware check etc they all say okay. I've even tried erasing the drive and trying to instal the OS afresh with no luck. Any ideas or l must just get a new hard drive?

Pretty sure BGreg hit the nail on the head. If your hard drive was failing, you would still be able to at least attempt an install, provided your ard drive was mounting. You usually get that message when the disk is incompatible with the computer. If it is the proper disk, you might try erasing the disk (provided your info is backed up) using Disk Utility (under Utilities in the menubar) and choose the Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) format.

Hello Ian. I am currently using Lion installed on a WD My Passport 500Gig drive connected to my MBPro via USB, which is still running 10.6.8. Like you I am not prepared to lose all my currently functioning Mac, but also like to see how the new OS runs before making the total switch, maybe when it gets to 10.7.2
So after you download Lion and select to run the installer it will show you which disk to install on, being the default SL drive you downloaded Lion with. But here you can click Other Disk and select the external HD. The installer will run and then boot into the external drive to complete the installation. From then on you can use Startup Disk or the Option key to select the preferred OS.

Can't download/install on upgraded 2006 Mac Mini

I have a c 2006 Mac Mini which I have recently upgraded with a Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB of RAM. The Mini currently runs OS X v. 10.6.8. I bought a copy of OS X 10.7 Lion from the App Store. Even though my Mac now meets the minimum requirements for Lion, the App Store says my Mac is incompatible and won't download the Lion software.
Interestingly, the error messages I get from the App Store from my attempts to purchase/download 10.7 and 10.8 are different:
When I tried to buy and download 10.8 Mountain Lion, I get "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer.". When I tried to buy and download 10.7 Lion instead, I get "This version of Mac OS X 10.7 cannot be installed on this computer.".
Is there any way I can force this install to start?

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

If you have a Mid 2010 model: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. If later then see below:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
If you have an earlier model:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
