Can i install photoshop cs2 on a new mac?

hi, i have a new MBP and wish to install Photoshop CS2 but i am having issues.
i am running OS X 10.9.4. Does anyone know how i can install it?
i can't really justify the price of the full new version of Photoshop for the amount i use it so the free old version is perfect for me. Unless anyone has a cheap Adobe alternative?
Regards,
Joe

Adobe CS2 is not Free Software you need a licence to run it legally
System Requirements for Photoshop CS2
by Shea Laverty, Demand Media
While Adobe Photoshop CS2 was released in May 2005, its age may make it an appealing target to businesses -- as of the date of publication, CS2 is still an adequate product for most basic business needs and may be available second-hand for considerably less than the price of purchasing the latest version. Because there are few modern computer systems incapable of running this system, prospective owners should check their system against the minimum requirements before purchase and installation.
Processor
Windows users looking to install Photoshop CS2 will need at least an Intel Xeon, Xeon Dual, Centrino, Pentium III, Pentium 4 or comparable CPU in order to run the program. Mac users will need at least a G3, G4 or G5 PowerPC processor.

How do I install Photoshop CS2 on a new Mac desktop ?

I have not used my Photoshop CS2 for a few years; I used to have it on my PC and It loaded and worked fine- But I had a lot of trouble between PC and viruses, and so now, I have chosen an Apple Mac desktop. I have had it for about a week now. The prolem however is that the programme does not seam to load , do I need to go back to using a PC ? Or is there a way that I can install CS2 on my new Mac? When I put the disc in the Drive the CS2Disk appears; when I double click on it ; the window showing the folders opens; and that is where I am stuck. ps the software is original. I am A pensioner and a Fine artist can you help me. also the photoshop logo does not appear on the desktop.

No way.
a) PC software doesn't run on Macs.
b) that being the case, you would have to switch paltforms but
c) Adobe only offers it for current versions (Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap)
d) even if it were possible, CS2 doesn't run on any modern Mac because Apple have long removed PPC code as used by that version
This is not going anywhere for a number of reasons as you see. You will have to come up with something else like getting a current version of PS Elements, signing up for Creative Cloud or using free software like GIMP, if you realyl don't want to spend any money.

Apple provides repeat downloads as a convenience, not a substitute for your computers being the primary source of file transfers. All your iTunes information such as playlists, ratings, etc. are in a file on your computer, not in the Apple Store. Typically when you move computers you copy the whole iTunes folder and everything it contains to the new computer. Moving media files can be done with a drive, or by Home Sharing. You can also redownload media but let's say somebody desiced Apple may no longer sell a certain album; it cannot be downloaded again but if you already have it on a computer you can move your copy of the file.
5 authorizations: Some households have multiple computers. If you want ot use one with an account it has to be authroized. It means you can use any computer in the house to make purchaes, etc.
Okay, my 5 minute typing limit for any one response is up.

Can't install photoshop elements 11 on my Mac. Help!!!

Can't install photoshop elements 11 on my Mac. I installed, moved a file (whoops). It stopped working. So I uninstalled it, then tried to reinstall but it wouldn't do it. Is it now locked or something? Can't find any way to contact Adobe for help (!!!!) so would be so so grateful for some advice.

Hi Jeff,
Great to hear from you! I don't have those answers but I can try
again to reinstall and then let you know. Unfortunately I'm not around
that computer at the moment. If it suits I hope I could send you an
email in the next couple of weeks with that information and if you still
have time you could let me know what you think?
Many thanks for your time,
Chloe

I can't install Rosetta Stone onto my new Mac OSX (version 10.7.5). It says it "can't open application because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Is there any way to install?

I can't install Rosetta Stone onto my new Mac OSX (version 10.7.5)
Any suggestions?
The message says "can't open application because Power PC applications are no longer supported."
Thanks!

Thank you... spoke to Rosetta Stone and they said the same thing, and the give a nice discount when upgrading.
Normally 5 levels of a language run about $479. When upgrading, you can get the same 5 levels for $199.
Fewer levels costs even less.

I'm having problems installing ps cs2 on a new mac book pro

Im trying to install ps cs2 on my new mac book pro and i get a message that says unable to in stall contact the software company. I've used this on two other computers. the last computer had issues and dumped photshop onlong with other software.

You won't be able to install CS2 on a new Intel-based Mac.
CS2 for Mac was written for PPC-based Macs and will not install or run on new Macs.

Can't Install Photoshop CS2 Correctly

I recently installed Photoshop CS2 on my Windows XP (SP2) computer. It installed fine about a year ago, but I got a virus and had to format my drive to get rid of it a few months ago. I tried to reinstall my software today, opened it, clicked the register later option and tried to start using the software but an error message popped up: "An error has been detected and activation cannot continue. Please restart your computer and reinstall the application." Obviously I followed these instructions. I also tried running the installer as an administrator. No luck. No matter what options I select I still get this message. I can't even install the 30-day trial version of the software because when I start using it, I still get this message. I even get it when I'm not connected to the internet. I don't care if this isn't the latest version. I still paid hundreds of dollars for this software and I should be able to use it regardless, so would someone please tell me a way around this issue? I have a feeling if I contact customer service, they won't care because it's an older Photoshop. Also note that I've been unable to install this software on other computers as well. I only have one computer running the software, but I was told that I could install this on two computers. Even if I couldn't, that still doesn't explain why even the trial version of the software doesn't work. Please help. Thanks.

Please use the Adobe Contact us page to contact adobe support personnel. (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/). If a customer support person is available for chat, a chat window will open up using which you can talk to the person to resolve your problem.

Can not install photoshop CS2 on Mac OSX. 10.9.5, It shows "error" no error number, suggest to contact the software supplier, only choice is to quit.

I tried to install Photoshop CS2 on Mac, OSX, 10.9.5.
By the end of the installation, it shows, error, but no error number for reference,
The only choice is "quit".
Please help

That is correct Das_Sad. CS2 will not run on Intel based processors under Mac OS. You will need to find a Mac computer with a PowerPC processor if you wish to run Creative Suite 2.

How can I deactivate Photoshop CS2 on an old Mac?

I tried to deactivate Photoshop CS2 on my old Mac by using the "Transfer Activation" command on the Help menu. (There is no "Deactivate" command.) Photoshop never recognizes that I do have a connection to the Internet, so I cannot proceed. Is there a way to Deactivate on this computer?

Forget about it.
The CS2 activation server was shut down by Adobe a couple of years ago. So you're trying to communicate with a server which no longer exists.
Error: "Activation Server Unavailable" | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
If you're planning to re-install CS2 on a new Mac, that won't work since CS2 is a PowerPC application which will not install or run on modern Intel-based Macs running newer versions of OS X.

I am 72. Old computer died. New one has Windows 7 Prof. Can I install Photoshop CS2?

I've been using Photoshop since version 4. Worked up to CS2, but not the suite. My old computer with XP died and the new one has Windows 7. Can I install it on the new one? I'm terrified to try because I am NOT a computer expert. Can I get help on this? Is CS3 (alone, not the suite) compatible with Windows 7? I only use Photoshop and InDesign and don't need all the extras. I went to a friend's house and tried Photoshop in her CS3 Suite. I can't figure out how to even cut things out using paths. Is CS 3 Photoshop (not suite) comparible to CS2? Please help me.

do you own photoshop cs2 and indesign cs2 or a suite containing both?
if yes, you can go here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
and download the two needed programs (note the serial numbers on the download page) and download and then install the two programs using the serial numbers from the download page.
you can probably just install on your win 7 computer without using compatibility mode.
