Can I install Adobe InDesign CS5 on a Power Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8?

Can I install Adobe InDesign CS5 on a Power Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8?

first thing to try is reset InDesign:
delete the preference file located here:
system > users > home folder > library > peferences > com.adobe.InDesign.plist
then repair the hard drive:
shut down the Mac
restart - then press shift key immediately after the chime
keep pressing shift untill the Apple logo appears
let the Mac boot to the desktop - it will take longer to boot as it is repairing the hard drive
when desktop appears, restart the Mac normally

  • Can i update adobe flash player on apple power book g4 running osx10.4.11

    can i update adobe flash player on apple power book g4 running osx10.4.11. I have tried official website. Useless. Please do not say time to get a new computer.

    *Flash Player for PPC Macs*
    Adobe's last release of Flash Player for PPC Macs was in November, 2010 with release 10.1.102.64 Subsequent releases are for Intel based Macs only.
    To check your installed version of FlashPlayer - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
    Read this whole post before proceeding.  You have to follow steps precisely and there is mention of an alternative version of Flashplayer at the end that some have decided to try.
    To update you should download:
    Flash uninstaller: [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,] Make sure you get the right one.
    Flash installer 10.1.102.64 [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.1.102. 64_and_9.0.289.0_archive.zip]  Open the archive to reveal yet more archives and multiple files. Select: flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg
    To install:
    1) Run Disk Utility and verify your hard drive.  If the hard drive reports errors then it will need repairing first (another topic).  If it verifies, run Disk Utility's repair permissions.
    2) Back up your hard drive, ideally to a bootable clone. A bootable clone will allow you to restore your hard drive to its original state should something go wrong.
    3) Quit all applications to ensure nothing is actively using Flash. You can even do the next step while booted to Safe Mode to make sure.
    [Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393]
    [What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564]
    [Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
    4) Run the uninstaller application. Adobe says, "Adobe recommends that you restart your computer before you install a different version of the player."
    5) Run the installer application from the .dmg file you got from the second download.
    6) Use Disk Utility to repair permissions on your computer. This is important when installing anything from Adobe.
    7) Restart your computer.
    Notes:
    Adobe installs things all over your computer. Simply dragging a file or two to the trash won't ensure you have uninstalled all old file components.

    Flash player 11.1 hack on PowerPC - https://discussions.apple.com/message/16990862 - this gets FP to tell web sites you are running a newer version than you really are. This gets around web sites that don't really need a new version but think they know best. If they really do require it then this hack doesn't work.

  • Can you Install Adobe Photoshop CS5 on Win 8 with no disc.

    I recently acquired a HP ENVY Touchsmart 15 Notebook PC, which comes with Windows 8. I am currently attempting to transfer my programs from my old computer (which was Windows 7) to my new computer, which includes re-installing Adobe Photoshop CS5.
    However, as this computer that I currently have doesn't have a CD drive (I was not aware of this as it was a gift), I am unable to put in the CS5 installation CD. I still have all of my licensing information, though. So, that leaves me with the following questions: Is it possible to install CS5 without a disc? And if so, does Windows 8 even support CS5?

    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.
    CS5: http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    To see if there are any special provisions you should follow for installing on a Windows 8 machine you should search this forum using terms like "Windows 8 CS5" to see if anyone has encountered issues that needed attention

  • Can I install adobe indesign CS 5.5 in Windows 2005 server?

    Hello,
    I want to install Adobe CS 5.5 (actuall I will use only Indesign) in Windows 2003. (failing that, in windows 2005 server)
    1. Is there a way to install CS 5.5 in windows 2003 server?
    2. If not, how can i install in windows 2005 server?
    Any information related to this will be helpful.
    Thank you.
    Regards

    There is no product called Adobe CS 5.5! There are five different versions of the Creative Suite 5.5 with different componenet software and thus, simply stating Adobe CS 5.5 generally won't get you any questions answered.
    Having said that, none of the versions of the Creative Suite officially support and of the Windows Server products. You may be able to coerce the installers to install the software on such platforms and then get the component applications to run, but Adobe neither tested such usage nor does it support same. In other words, you are really totally on your own here.
    The only Creative Suite application that explicitly does support any of the Windows Server platforms and in fact requires installation on Windows Server is InDesign Server!
    Also, please note that there absolutely is not any such product from Microsoft as “Windows Server 2005.” There is Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, each with various editions, but there was no version with the 2005 moniker.

  • How can i install adobe flash player on my i mac OSX lion

    I just bought an I mac that runs on OSX 10.7.2 lion and cannot install Adobe flash player 10,0. I need it for looking to Youtube videos
    Can anybody help me?
    Charles

    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Version 11.0.1.152 onwards is for Lion.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • Can't install OSx 10.3 on my Power Mac G5

    My G5's hard drive was wiped clean, and I went out and bought OSx 10.3 Panther. I have been trying to install it on my G5 for quite some time now. Every time I boot the computer it comes up with a gray screen with the apple logo in the center. It sits like that for a minute or so then switches to a screen with a circle with a diagonal line through it. I have tried booting while holding control c, the same thing happens. I have tried booting while holding the option key. This brings up a new screen with the name of the disk on it and two arrow buttons. One seems to restart the disk, and clicking the other sends it to the screen with the circle on it.
    Any ideas on what I could try to do to get it to install?

    Yes, G5s can run 10.4 or 10.5
    Depends which G5 you have as to whether that Disc will work, earliest G5/1.6 came with 10.2.7, last ones came with 10.4.2 & would not be able to boot/install from any 10.3 Disc.
    As far as I can tell, that is the Retail version 10.3.3, & for instance the PCI-X G5s came with 10.3.4, so not likely to boot from it either.

  • Can't install Leopard 10.5.6 onto Power Mac G5 with Mac OS 10.2.7

         I have a Power Mac G5 with Mac OS 10.2.7 and can't seem to install Leopard 10.5.6. Every time i try to install it it either says that it can not validate the contents of the Base System package or could not validate the contents of the Xll User package. If i could get suggestions on what i can try to install Leopard on to my mac G5.

    Make sure it is a retail disc, as indicated here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2275 Make sure you understand the difference between Archive and Install and Upgrade and install here, and erase and install: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2209 Make sure your data is backed up before you proceed: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992 Decide if you need access to Classic before you proceed, as it is gone with 10.5.

  • Can't install Adobe Reader 8.1.2 to Mac OS X 10.5.3

    Downloading the .dmg file was no problem, nor mounting it; but there's a circle with a slash through it over the Adobe Reader Installer icon, and if I double click it I get the following message:
    You can't open the application "Adobe Reader 8 Installer.app" because it is not supported on this architecture.
    I am running OS X 10.5.3 on a PowerPC G5 Dual Processor. All other Adobe programs including Acrobat and CS3 work fine. And now my existing installation of Reader won't start; I just see an hourglass.

    Correct diagnosis. When I went back and downloaded the PowerPC version, it worked fine. The Intel version works fine on my MacBook Pro, too!

  • How can i install Adobe cs6 Design Standard on my Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2

    Hello,
    First of all, Sorry for my english i'm a french graphism student. So I have a MAC OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, i want to install the Adobe CS6 Design Standard but it doesn't work at all. They recommended me to go on Adobe support Advisor but i didn't find any solutions.
    I installed Java for OS X2014-001 but it doesn't work either. Help please !!

    CS6 is not part of the Cloud, so moved to a more appropriate forum
    Yosemite sometimes has problems, often related to "default" permissions needing to be changed

  • I purchased OS 10.6 for a iMac notebook running 10.5, to allow me to hookup a new HP printer.  Can I install OS 10.6 on an older Mac desktop running OS 10.3 or 10.4, so the printer can be hooked up to the desktop?

    I purchased OS 10.6 to upgrade my father's 13" laptop running 10.5, so he could hookup a new HP printer.
    Is it possible to upgrade his older desktop running either OS 10.3 or 10.4, with the OS 10.6 disc, so he could
    use the printer with his desktop? Thank you.

    Unless you bought the Leopard Family Pack installer (for up to 5 Macs), you can install on only ONE Mac. Here's the Apple Software License agreememt, which you agreed to when you installed on the laptop.
