Can I run Illustrator CS3 on G4 with Jaguar OS?

Looking to get the update, but noticed the system requirements were G4-G5 Leopard OS with 1GB RAM recommended.
Just curious if anyone is running on G4 with Jaguar, or if G5 purchase would be needed (I'd rather purchase than upgrade my G4 with RAM and OS)?
Thanks in advance for any help.

You'd be better off getting the Mac Pro, bypassing the G5 altogether. You'd probably be able to run CS3 on your G4, but it would probably be slower than whatever you're using now. The Intel Macs are well suited to running the CS3 under Leopard. But a G4 running Jag will run into issues and speed is definitely one of them. I'm currently running Panther and Illus. 10 on my G4. When I venture into CS land, I'll probably spring for the latest Mac Pro with gobs of RAM ( 8gigs? ) and whatever OS is available when the time comes.

  • Running Illustrator CS3 on Portable Hard Drive

    I would like to run Illustrator CS3 (Windows) on a portable hard drive that can connect to different machines (so that I can work from home, go to friend's computer, etc). I've been able to do this with InDesign CS2 but it gives me an error message when I try it with Illustrator.
    How can I get all of Illustrator to install on my portable hard drive?

    Real-world example of what I mean by Adobe continually PUNISHING its most loyal repeat customers with its INFURIATING installation/registration/activation NONSENSE:
    1. Last weekend, on this machine, I started seeing errors about AdobeFntLst. The errors instructed me to run chkDsk. I finished my work and shut down the machine.
    2. At the next restart, Windows automatically launched chkDsk. I let it run its course. It automatically restarted the machine.
    3. Blue screen. Could not get the computer to run, no matter what.
    4. Formatted the C drive. Reinstalled Windows. Installed all Windows updates. Now have a clean and crisp running fresh install of Windows XP Professional.
    5. Deep breath. Ready to install the hideous CS3 Master Collection.
    This is a
    very time-consuming install, so I have put it off until today (Saturday morning).
    Insert the first DVD. Installer launches. Click install. Agree the license. Get the serial number screen.
    Can't type the serial number. Think my keyboard is broken. But it works fine in other apps.
    No explanation of this stupid behavior whatsoever is offered by the stupid installer, but I know what's going on: The stupid installer is looking for a copy of a CS app, because the Master Collection was bought as an upgrade from CS2 Premium--which was bought as an upgrade from CS Premium.
    So I won't be able to install CS2 Premium either. I'll have to install CS Premium. Then CS2 Premium. Then the stupid CS3 Master Collection installer will let me type a serial number.
    Or, I could (assumedly) install the CS3 Master Collection as a demo, hoping I can activate it after. But that disallows installation of some of the content on the disks. Do I want to do the version shuffle, and risk all the dangers of all the associated installers? Or do I want to install the CS3 Master Collection as a trial, hoping that I can then register and activate it, and then weed through the disks trying to find all the content that was disallowed?
    How much of my money has Adobe acquired since I've been using its apps (dating back to Photoshop 1)?
    Does ANY paying customer deserve this kind of abuse?

    Some people have reported success with opening Photoshop before opening AI. Some how the aips are registered there and are then available to work in AI.

  • Can't save illustrator cs3

    I can't save illustrator CS3 in my Toshiba Satellite laptop P4(M) 1.7 GHz with memory 1.5GB under Window XP Service Park 2 (Home Addition) and alot of HD free space. When I save CS3, can't save illustrator CS3 error massage dialog box appear. Follow are I can read from that error massage window.
    AppName: illustrator.exe
    AppVer: 13.0.128.0
    ModName: agm.dll
    ModVer: 4.17.26.1
    Offset: 002d3fa0
    C:\DOCUME~1\HTAYWI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\4228_appcompat.txt

    Mmh, yeah, sounds familiar but for the life of it I cannot reme,ber the solution. I believe it's documented in the knowledgebase on the support pages and hinges on some VersionCue stuff being wrong. Other than that I could only imagine Acrobat Quick Launcher or Windows own preview generating functions having a hold of the file, when you save it as PDF compatible...

  • Unknown error (-108) when i run illustrator CS3

    Hi all
    Every time I run Illustrator CS3, this msg appears:
    "An unknown error has occurred (-108), Adobe Illustrator will now quit"
    then illustrator quits
    i got the same error even after re-installing
    my friend has exact error, so he installed it on different PC and it worked
    NOTE: some people say that this is a low RAM error, but my CPU is 0% and RAM is 1Gb, so it is impossible that this is a memory error
    I have Photoshop CS3, Flash CS3, Dreamweaver CS3, Fireworks CS3, Bridge CS3, Device Central CS3, and some other adobe products, all work properly, i never got this error with them
    Help me please
    Thank you

    Hi Jacob,
    I have the same problem so tried your suggestion, but although Illustrator goes through the whole opening up sequence of loading items, once it's done that nothing else appears, the program just disappears.
    Do you have any idea why this is happening?

  • Can we run oracle Forms 5 Application with 10G in Client/Server?

    Hi All,
    Can we run oracle Forms 5 Application with 10G in Client/Server
    Mode?
    Regards
    Gaurav

    In theory you can run it 2 tier - which means that you have the client (the machine the user is sitting at) being the same machine in which the forms application server is running. So yes. But specifically, we don't support a client server runtime anymore. 6i was the last version.
    With 10g you will be running through a browser.

  • Illustrator CS3 not compatible with Vista

    I downloaded the trial version of Illustrator CS3 because my previous program - Freehand, is not compatible with Vista. The Adobe site stated that Illustrator was capable of importing and editing Freehand files so I gave it a try.
    Well, it does import the files with only a few minor font issues. BUT, when you try to SAVE or EXPORT it returns the error message: "can't save illustration". In other words, you can import, work, design, etc. but when it comes time to save or export your work, you can't. So the program is completely worthless.
    Adobe should have made this bug or conflict clear before releasing the product with Vista compatibility and stating that it could import Freehand 9 files. What good is importing the files if you can't save them after making the changes?
    I would caution anybody to wait until there is a patch or at least try the trial version before spending a lot of time and money on a program, only to find you can not save or export your work!

    >I finished editing a project in 2.0 and installed CS3 to finish. Now when I try to render the project it crashes and then I when I restart all of my media is unlinked so I relink save, crash, repeat forever. I guess I need to reinstll 2.0 this CS crap isn't working for me.
    I had a similar problem. I started a 60-minute documentary under Premiere 6.5 and finished it in Pro 2.0. Nightmares!
    I thus recommend starting and finishing each project in one version. I also recommend that when you get a version of Premiere running well on a particular system and you want to upgrade, you build an entirely new system and upgrade on THAT sys. Keep the old system because you have possibly scores or hundreds of hours into getting it to work perfectly. Sell these old systems off as turn-key systems to editors that are less experienced and don't need the power (yet). I have been doing this and it works out well. I am also developing a chain of trainees who will someday be able to COMPLETELY TAKE OVER MY EDITING POST AND THUS RELEASE ME FROM THIS HELL (so I can go back to producing and directing).

  • Can you run Photoshop CS3 and CS5 on the same system?

    I did this before on another system where I had both CS2 and CS3 installed and I could run either version when I wanted.  Back then I just never bothered to uninstall CS2.
    Now on this system I'm tunning CS3 and I have some plug ins I use regularly that aren't compatible with CS5 and I don't want to lay out the cash again for them.  So I'd like to be able to install CS5 and use it primarily but when I need to use the plug ins then just switch to CS3.
    I've noticed many programs these days won't run on top of another version.  So is there any reason I won't be able to run both?

    Absolutely.  All versions of Photoshop can coexist simultaneously, though you can only run one at a time.
    It's usual not to install the old version until you're sure the new one is working great.  If you have the space, never uninstall it.  It's handy to have it around for answering questions, here for example.

  • Can't deactivate Illustrator CS3

    I'm having major problems with my Dual 1 GHz PowerPc G4 computer, I believe the drive is going bad. I bought a brand new Mac Mini and am trying to install Illustrator CS3 on it. Once installed on the Mini it asks me to deactivate on the old computer. When I try to deactivate by running AI I get a message that says Licensing for this product has stopped! You cannot use this product. It tells me to uninstall CS3 and then reinstall it. When I try to uninstall from adobe installer application I get a warning that there's a java script alert- installer data base invalid. How do I get this program to work on my Mac Mini? I have all of my original illustrator disks and serial numbers going back to 1990. Why do I have to jump through all of these hoops? Is there any way to get CS3 to work?

    You will have to contact customer service and they will have to deactivate from their end and that should do it. You might be able to figure out a way but in this case a simple phone call is probably the best way and will save you hard ache.

  • Can't open Illustrator CS3, was fine before

    All CS3 apps working fine for the last few years, except that all of a sudden I can't open Illustrator. Gives me FOConversion Suite plugin missing and quits. When I go to the folder, I've noticed this file is 0 bytes. How did this happen? More importantly, how to fix it? I read and read and can't find solution. I renamed so far preferences folder (Illustrator created new one on next (also failed) startup; I made sure that fonts Segua UI and tahoma are installed and working, and I have working, updated anti-virus. What can I do to fix/replace foconversionsuite.aip file? Operating system is Windows 7 64-bit.

    I found backup of my files and copied over empty file. It works fine now.

  • Can I run XP AND Vista 64 with bootcamp?  Or does it only allow dual boot?

    Hi Folks.
    Reinstalling Bootcamp. Want to use Vista 64 for faster Mental Ray rendering on 3dsMax, but I still want to play games on XP. Can I do a triple boot install with Bootcamp?
    If not can I do an XP install then do a dual boot within my Windows partition or will that confuse bootcamp?
    Anyone had any luck with this?

    Easiest if you install Vista first to a boot camp space that will be large enough to hold all the Windows OS's you want to use. After install, right click My Computer -> Manage: select Disk Management; you can shrink Boot Camp partition C, which leaves OS intact but allows another install to new D: "drive" created from shrink. Option key at start up allows boot for next install. You can control resulting Windows multiboot from System Properties->Advanced tab->Start and Recovery Setting.
    Because Dos isn't there for FDisk at start up, in XP, I've done same with Diskpart.exe which is likely in \System32. Have not done this in Mac.

  • Can't Hide Illustrator CS3

    Even when I have "show all" chosen under the "Illustrator" menu, I can't hide Illustrator. Command+Tab, then hitting the "h" to hide doesn't work also. No problems hiding Photoshop.

    You will have to contact customer service and they will have to deactivate from their end and that should do it. You might be able to figure out a way but in this case a simple phone call is probably the best way and will save you hard ache.

  • HT1730 Trying to run Illustrator CS3 with Rosetta, but forcing is impossible....What can I do?
