Can I run CS2 on OSX 10.8?

I have an unopened, sealed CS2 but the box says that it runs on OSX 10.2-10.4.   I don't want to open it if it won't run on my OSX 10.8.2.  Is there an upgrade that will permit me to use the application?

No.
CS2 was PPC, OSX 10.8 is Intel. Apple's Rosetta which allowed PPC apps to run on Mac Intel machines was discontinued in versions 10.7 and 10.8, so aside from upgrading I don't believe its possible with that configuration. However CS2 is now outside the upgrade path options, so sadly I think you will need a full version. http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/upgradeinfo.html

  • How can i run windows on osx lion

    Hi, some programs don't run anymore on osx lion. So I would like to install windows. How do I need to proceed?
    Thanks, Franklin

    ... don't run anymore
    Upgrade when possible.
    Downgrade back.
    Dual boot 10.6 or even 10.5 (as old as your Mac came with) and Lion -
    You can even have a Mac HFS data partition.
    Instead of dual booting Windows.
    Depends on what. You didn't mention. Or whether they are Windows alternatives that have to run natively. Or could be run in a VM guest OS - but have to share RAM and processor resource, which may not be feasible or run well enough.
    Apps incompatible with OS X Lion
    keep Snow Leopard when upgrading to Lion

  • Photoshop CS2 on OSX Server 10.4.8 or an OSX 10.4.7 partition?

    Hi Gang,
    We are trying to use our Xserver running OSX Server 10.4.8 as a central processing center for some of our photo workflow. Our workflow uses some scripts which trigger Photoshop actions. For this to work, it must have access to an OS with an install of CS2.
    I seem to have two options. The first is easy. I connect a client running CS2 to the server and use this client as a processing hub for the scripts. I don't like this solution because it will increase network traffic and tie up one of our clients regularly.
    A second option would be to run CS2 on the server, either in the OSX Server environment, or to create a partition on the server that runs OSX and has CS2 installed. I don't know whether either of these arrangements is possible.
    Has anyone tried to run CS2 on OSX server 10.4.8? I know Adobe doesn't support it, but doesn't mean it won't work. Alternatively, has anyone created a partition on their server that runs OSX 10.4.7?
    Any experience greatly appreciated.

    Please don't say that CS2 doesn't work under Rosetta, when it does. There are performance issues, and for those who use CS2 for large, system intensive purposes have good reason to not want to upgrade to Intel, but that doesn't mean CS2 won't work.
    I haven't experienced the install problem personally, but googling "cs2""intel""mac" yields this article:
    http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060524084530919
    To summarize, it may be an issue with either Quicktime 7.1 or Adobe Version Cue.
    Good luck.

  • Can't Load CS2 on to OS X, Version 10.5.8.

    What's up with that?
    There should be an install icon immediately visible, but there is none.  Does this mean I can't run CS2 on this machine, a Macbook Pro?
    Note: It loads just fine into my Dell PC.
    If CS2 won't work, what version of Photoshop do I need: CS3, CS4?
    Pls advise.

    Tai:
    What about buying an additional "seat" -- an extension of the license that
    allows one more user?  My wife has CS2 installed on two MACs, so maybe we
    could just extend it so her assistant could use it. 
    In fact, they gave me a free "seat" for CS2 I have, the PC version.  What
    they neglected to says was that it DOESN'T WORK for a MAC! 
    Thanks for hipping me to this critical fact.  You'd think smart folks at
    Adobe would have pointed this out. 
    Cheers,

  • Can I run the old Adobe CS2 software on a new Macbook?

    Can I run the old Adobe CS2 software on a new Macbook?
    I am planning on buying the new white 13" macbook online from apple.
    Although I have the old CS2 Adobe software.
    I was wondering if anyone knows if the new macbook is able to run that old software.
    If anyone knows, please let me know, as I am planning on purchasing soon!
    Thanks in advance,

    Yes, it will run OK. Before buying Design Premium CS4, I used Photoshop CS2 on my late-2008 MacBook Pro (under OSX 10.5.6 through 10.5.8) without any problems.

    You run Windows in Parallels or Fusion. Then in Windows you install the program.

  • Upgraded to OSX 10.8.2 and now I can't run any downloaded dmg files.

    Upgraded to OSX 10.8.2 and now I can't run any downloaded dmg files. Says "the Following disk images couldn't be opened". and then say's there "isn't enough disk space" I'm pretty sure it has something to do with apps that are not approved by the app store. How can I turn it off?

    Select your hard drive in the Finder and choose File -> Get Info. What is the available space?

  • I have an Intel iMac running OSX 10.6.8. I would like to use Final Cut Pro 10.1. I know I need OSX 10.9 for this. Can I run both 10.6.8 and 10.9 on the iMac ? I do not want to convert completely to 10.9 because of my existing software. Thanks for any help

    It would depend on how old your IMac is, how mush memory you have, it it can be upgraded by OWC, etc. I have a 2006 Macbook Pro and would NOT put Mavericks on it or espeacially FCP 10.1.1 on it because the most memory it can have is 4 GB. You need at least 8 GB to work with Final Cut Pro 10.1.1. IMHO.
      I would try to find a copy of Final Cut Express perhaps.
      Does this answer your question?

  • I have Mac OSX, version 10.4.11; I loaded Firefox 4, lost 3.6.16, and now I found out I can't run Firefox 4. Can I get 3.6.16 back?

    I have Mac OSX, version 10.4.11; I loaded Firefox 4, lost 3.6.16, and now I found out I can't run Firefox 4. Can I get 3.6.16 back? I am not sure what to do. I dragged my old firefox icon to the desktop and it disappeared. The new icon has a white circle with a slash, and won't open because I have an older version Mac

    You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

  • Can I run 9.2.2 without an OSX drive on board?

    I am getting strange results on my Beige Tower running 9.2.2 (G3-366 MHz, 640 Mb ram, 6 Mb Vram, 30 gig Maxtor ATA HFS+, PCI ATI Rage 128, PCI XClaimPRo, PCI USB - not used, AppleTalk 1.1, AppleShare 3.9.2, CarbonLib 1.6, QuickTime 6.0.2).
    When I use the Chooser to AppleShare connect to another machine (G4 mirror door) a type 1 error occurs and the finder notifies me to quit running applications and restart. I was getting a type 2 error the same situation but cured that by turning off the RAM disk.
    After I restart, the program MyInvoices, operates incorrectly.
    Can I run 9.2.2 without an OSX drive on board? I recently moved the hard drive from a G3 beige desktop with another drive running Jaguar. I use this machine for QuarkXpress production work and invoicing.
    I was thinking I should wipe the drive and downgrade to 9.1. If I do, what formatting should I use for the hard drive (HFS+)?

    The G3 beige now starts and runs without making the breaking glass sound.

  • 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).

    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).

  • Can I run bootcamp and mac osx

    Can I setup two different user accounts with one running bootcamp with windows and the other running mac osx?

    You don't "run" Boot Camp. You run Windows and OSx.
    Install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant. Create a password protected Windows user. Create a password protected OSx user.
    When someone boots the computer have them press and hold the option key. If Windows is selected as the boot option, only the Windows user will be able to log in. If OSx is selected as the boot option, only the OSx user will be able to log in.
