Can I Run Adobe CS 4 on Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard?

Hey All, I know this might be an old question, but I can't find an answer to it.
I have CS4 and want to upgrade my machine from Tiger to Leopard.  I don't want to go to Snow Leopard because my machine is a bit old and I'd rather run the minimum OS, as to preserve Ram and Processor power. 
So will CS4 run ok on Leopard?  Thanks all .
btw, CS4 was always compatible with Tiger, right?  A friend seemed surprised I was running it on Tiger, claiming he initially had all kinds of major problems doing so.  So I told him as far as I can remember they were compatible, but he insists I'm wrong.  Anyone want to confirm this?  Thanks all!

Keep in mind that Leopard (10.5) is no longer supported by Apple and has known security vulnerabilities in it.  If you don't want to upgrade, you may want to unplug it from the Internet.

  • Can I run adobe master collection in a windows partition on a basic mbp 13" with only the intel chipset?

    can I run adobe master collection in a windows partition on a basic mbp 13" with only the intel chipset?
    I want to install 16 gb ram but I don't think I can change the lack of video card. I wanted this basic machine because it has fairly long battery life. I don't need or want retina at this time. My model is the mid 2012 model. I am running the adobe collection for mac, I want to run the windows versions. Is it possible? What is the most ram I could access using something like fusion 5, assuming I could get fusion 5 to work? would it refuse to run because of the intel chipset and lack of video card?
    If I'm wrong and there is a way to add a video card to this model, could some version of fusion and windows 7 access more than 2 gb operating ram?
    What  cost would I be incurring, and would it be cheaper to buy a windows laptop with more ram than I could access via a virtual machine?
    I want to work on a client's work in the windows versions of the creative suite, with occasional usage of after effects for windows, and to use some web plug-ins only available in windows versions, and to try some windows-only video and audio software.
    thanks for any suggestions. While many people have told me I can run everything on my macbook, I am concerned about what I think is a limited amount of ram that can be accessed over the virtual machine partition softwares, and I don't know if what I want to attempt is actually possible.
    My mbp os is 10.8.2 on a 2.5 GHz intel core i5 4 gb 1600MHz DDR3 with 500 hard drive. the basic 13" mid 2012 machine.
    I'm hoping to install 16 G of opertating ram to allow more adobe programs to run concurrently- just when I am working on the mac side.
    also, off track but, for years I have wanted a small  machine that is more easily portable than my 15" machines. I have only had this used machine for a few weeks, but already I have been very satisfied and used it for presentations at clients. I don't want an air because I really want the dvd burner and player. No matter what apple says about wireless, there are decades of legacy work stored on optical discs all over the world, and I don't want to be unable to open something at a client's office because I don't have a dvd drive. Additionally, I have very large files I want to transfer via ethernet or firewire so that the transfer will take less time and be more secure than wifi. I resist apple's trend to make every machine a disposable toy that is viable only a year or so. I have read reviews that label the mbp it a poor value compared to the air. If all you need to do is text and communicate via wifi, many devices will sufice, and an air is certainly the most elegant. But what about the cost of large ssd's and protecting the drive against damage from shock? I want to be able to move this thing around and the small size is much safer inside my padded bag when I sit in narrow airplane seats, crowded trains and other congested spaces. I am much more likely to be able to borrow a large screen in a client's office ( with the use of one of the three adapters I had to buy) than to be able to borrow a dvd drive that has drivers for mac os 10.8.2. I suspect this may be the last generation of machines that have optical drives and ethernet, and that was why I purchased it so that I could continue to do work into the next few years. I am impressed by the retina display, but I need long battery life. And as beautiful as the retina display is, it is even more of a problem when trying to cross platform with the windows world. I wish I could infuence apple to do a trial product flow for a machine designed to work with 80% of the business world that uses windows. How spectacular that would be. With all their expertise and adept hardware design, to create a machine that cross platforms better than a windows machine itself works? Now that would be an accomplishment.  Instead of 8 or 9 percent of the total computer sales, why not aim for a higher percentage? Smart devices will keep moving toward portable computers in power, anyway.

    Fusion should work on your machine and if you put 16 GB of RAM in (see http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_160 0MHz_SDRAM), Fusion can access a good portion of that. Also, in a Virtual Machine, the guest OS is presented with Fusion's video card emulation, not what's in hardware on your Mac. Of course, finding Windows 7 now that Win 8 has been released could take some doing and the Win 8 Pro upgrade price is supposed to jump to $200 the end of the month. Add that to the price of Fusion and the extra RAM and you're beginning to get into the realm of low end real PC's.
    As to cross platform, I assume you're aware of BootCamp (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1461).

  • Can you run Adobe Photoshop CS version 8 on Yosemite?

    Can you run Adobe Photoshop CS version 8 on Yosemite?

    Well if you want permanent license Adobe software, here is the price list for the CS6 catalog .  Creative Suite 6
    Just know that with the exception of Adobe Camera Raw updates, CS6 will have maintenance updates, but not the features of CC 2014.
    The rental model called Creative Cloud means you will have the software installed on your Mac and you can work with your files as before, it's just that activation depends on a $50 monthly fee. Upgrades are piped in at no further cost, and you have the freedom to switch platforms and interface languages. You activate on up to two computers, PC, Mac or mixed. 20 GB online storage for collaboration, and you can also store and sync your settings and custom presets. Typekit if you'd like to try new and difference fonts.
    Look at it this way, it's not a big deal if you are in business. You rent many things and this is probably not your largest monthly expense.

  • I can't download Adobe Reader in my Mac OS X 20.9.4.

    I can't download Adobe Reader in my Mac OS X 20.9.4.
    I have tried everything. I used Safari and Fire Fox, have enabled Java Script,

    You can try using the full offline Reader installer from

    If that doesn't work, please explain in detail what happens when you try to download Reader.
    And I hope you meant OS X 10.9.4...

  • Can't run Adobe accessibility checker on new PC

    Hi Jasmin / Jayan / and anyone else,
    We have new workstations with newer versions of JAWS installed and can't run the Adobe accessibility checker.  The option is disabled.  When JAWS is open, can't run Adobe's read out loud feature.  Using Win XP Pro, JAWS 11, Designer ES (8.2) and have Acrobat 9 Pro and Reader 9 on workstations.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

    OK, I'm not sure exactly how, but I've managed to fix it.
    Shortly after writing that post, I renamed the libraries on each PC, and was then able to see both on my iPhone, but still couldn't see the XP library on my Windows 7 PC.
    I had done a soft reset on the wireless router earlier, but I decided to try a complete cold restart - turned off both PCs, and unplugged the power cable to my router, left all off for a few minutes, plugged the router back in, turned my old PC back on, loaded iTunes on that, then turned my new PC back on, at which point some message came on about the firewall, and then loaded iTunes. So I'm syncing now - it's worked!
    I guess that's another problem solved by turning it off and back on again!

    Albertos35110529 are you trying to install the Creative Cloud Desktop application or are you trying to open it?  If it is already installed then you will want to open it from the Applications folder.  You can find more details regarding the installation process at Help | Download, install, update, or uninstall apps.

  • Tried unsuccessfully to restore my MBP, running the Mac OSX Lion, to factory settings. I keep getting the "can't download additional components for the Mac OSX Lion" error when reinstalling the OSX Lion. Any tips on how to resolve this problem?

    Hello! Tried unsuccessfully to restore my MBP, running the Mac OSX Lion, to factory settings. I keep getting the "can't download additional components for the Mac OSX Lion" error when reinstalling the OSX Lion. Any tips on how to resolve this problem?

    Hi
    Given that your answer to 1. is 'pre-installed' and 3. is 'No', I think the only thing to do is to take it to an Apple store (ideally the one you bought it from) and have them reinstall it for you.
    The intended solution in cases like yours is that you should be able to reboot and install even a wiped disk by using Apple's servers over the internet (you do this by restarting with 'command-r' and choosing 'reinstall Lion'). However if this isn't working for you then you need to get the store to do it. Don't let them fob you off with 'go home and try again'. Have them do it in the shop (you're still covered by Applecare warranty so it should cost you nothing save the inconvenience of the trip and possibly leaving the machine there while they fix it).
    A reinstall should leave all your own personal data and programs in place.
    Note for future: when you get it fixed, first thing to do is buy a cheap external drive and start keeping a backup (either Time Machine or clone with Carbon Copy Cloner).

  • Where is button to accept end user agreement so I can download or read online file.  mac osx reader XI

    where is button to accept end user agreement so I can download or read online file.  mac osx reader XI
    every time i click  on a file to downloac
    i get a reader message Before viewing PDF ... you must launch adobe reader and then accept the End User License Agreement. Ive searched  every part of the menu for this and cant fine it

    Ok, so the Reader app works. Fine, but why did you say ",the reader won't open any more", that led us a confusing direction.
    Ok, the problem is most likely caused because you downloaded Acrobat Pro, which takes over from Reader, then got rid of it. You now have part of Acrobat in Safari, not part of Adobe Reader.
    There are two things to try to fix this. The first and easiest is to download and install Adobe Reader again. That should puts its stuff back in Safari with a bit of luck.
    Important note for others following this thread. Downloading Adobe Reader is not going to help you if you have not understood and followed the instructions to "launch" Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat). Make sure you understand what "launch" means before downloading anything again.

  • Is Adobe CS4 compatible with Mac OSX Maverick?

    Hello,
    Is Adobe CS4 compatible with Mac OSX Maverick?
    Thk

    I just upgraded my OS to Mavericks X, and my previously installed Photoshop CS4 failed to run when I tried to launch it.
    I even downloaded a brand new version from a link here that was in a "Mavericks X" column, giving me SOME confidence that it might just function on the new OS.
    So far, I've been down 3 days since upgrading my OS. I cannot get Photoshop CS4 to run, no matter what I've tried!
    Yes, I've uninstalled the prior version before installing the new one. I entered all of my serial number and registration information, and still NOTHING! Bridge appears to work fine, but Photoshop CS4 is just one big crater right now!
    I'd like to just talk with a human at Adobe on the phone for a few minutes, which should be all that's needed to get it resolved, but they do NOT offer phone support for Photoshop products!!! And, I'm unable to locate how to even become a "Premium Member" (paid) that will allegedly provide phone support!
    HELP!
