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,
Heather

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.

  • How can I get the old view of iCal back on my MacBook Pro and iPhone?

    How can I get the old view of iCal back on my MacBook Pro and iPhone?  The Mavrick version is crisp and clean but a colored dot is not the same as a highlighted word. I rely on my iCal on my MacBook Pro and iPhone 5 to help me track which of the 8 sites I visit for my job during the week - the color coding is (was key) to organizing and tracking meetings.  I hate the upgrade! 

    If purchased through the Mac App Store then it can be installed on up to five authorized CPUs. Otherwise, it's controlled by the license that came with the software.
    To install on another computer copy the downloaded installer application to the other computer.

  • Buying old Adobe CS2 software - upgrade?

    Hello, I recently purchased a copy of Adobe Creative Suite Premium 2 off of ebay. Auction went through fine and I received the software and the serial number - which i promtly went to the Adobe site, signed and registered under my name. Got a confirmation email from adobe "Thank you for purchasing and registering your copy of Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium,,," etc.
    Am I good to go with legally downloading / using the CS2 software off Adobe's site?
    Also what versions of later CS can CS2 be upgraded to?
    Thanks for your help!

    As far as downloading/using CS2, see the following posting for a link to information:

    CS2 premium is too old to upgrade to any of the latest CS suite versions.

  • Don't know where else to post this, Can you run the old MS DOS on a Mac?

    The company I work for is a PC based invironment. I can of course get around most of that but there is one huge stumbling block.
    Believe it or not, the company is still using an old MS DOS application to look up orders over the network.
    Is there currently anyway to run a DOS program of my PowerBook G4? If not will these new MacBooks be able to?
    Thanks,
    -Tom

    Yes using Virtual PC on your G4 PowerBook.
    The new MacBooks can not run Virtual PC, however can dual boot with Windows XP SP2 and if the DOS applications can run on XP SP2 then you will be able to run them.

  • Can I put the old trackpad/bl-keyboard in my new Air?

    The subject says it all... I have been very dissatisfied with my latest 13" Macbook Air (I've owned one of each of the three models) for two reasons:
    1. the buttonless trackpad kills me in Windows (I have Powerplan 7 in now but it's not as smooth IMHO)
    2. Power button on the keyboard (who thought that would be a good idea, next to Delete??)
    As I switched to Windows 7 64-bit on this machine after using OSX on the previous ones, I wrongly assumed that the lack of keyboard backlighting was another example of Apple's crappy support for Microsoft's OS.
    Only today, when I installed PP7 to fix my trackpad nightmares and add the backlit keyboard, did I discover that I don't have a backlit keyboard anymore!!!
    Thanks, Apple, for sucking so hard. The Air is the flagship, and you've hobbled the two primary user input components.
    So, the question.. as a technie who is completely comfortable with ripping my computers apart...
    Can I replace the trackpad and keyboard with ones from the previous generation Air, to regain this lost functionality?
    REAL answers only, please. It's hard enough to find any useful information online anymore with all opinions one must surf through to find facts.
    Thanks!

    So you bought the MacBook Air before reading the technical specifications of the machine and then blame Apple but proceed to call yourself a techie in the next sentence? Now this is screen shot material!
    However to answer your question, there's no connection point for the backlit keyboard on the logic board. So that wouldn't work. I'm not 100% sure on the trackpad relocation, however. With the way it's machine pressed into the bottom case I don't see how you could safely remove it and reinstall it with just "hand force."

  • Can I run OS 10.6.4 on my brand new MacBook Pro?

    I am a professional photographer and one of the programs I need in order to do my job is some software from Nikon that apparently will not run on Lion, OS 10.7.3.  Documentation says that it can run on OS 10.6.4, Snow Leopard.
    Can I run OS 10.6, Snow Leopard on my brand new MacBook Pro, 2.8Ghz, Intel Core i7 machine?

    You cannot install any of them. As I said earlier your only options are 10.6.6 through 10.6.8 none of which are on a retail DVD.
    If you have access to a Mac that runs 10.6.4, then you can put a small system on a 16 GB USB flash drive, boot from it then upgrade the system to 10.6.8. Now, see if you can boot your new computer with it. If so, then create a small partition on your new computer's hard drive large enough for the Snow Leopard system and whatever applications you need to use. Clone the USB flash drive to this partition using the Restore option of Disk Utility:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the new partion on the internal drive. Source means the USB flash drive.

  • Can I use my old Design Suite CS5 on my new MacBook Pro?

    I bought the Design Suite CS5 two, three years ago and now I have bought a new MacBook Pro. I've heard that I cannot use the programs that I bought, and that I now have to start subscribing to the programs using Creative Cloud. Is this true?

    Absolutely untrue.  Download, install, and activate your software from https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
    Deactivate the software on your old computer if you don't use it any more.

  • HT1947 Remote app requirements are stated as "software version 3.1.3 or later". I am running 4.2.1 and when I try to download it says 4.3 required. Where can I get the (old) version that runs on my IOS?

    'Remote' app requirements are stated as "software version 3.1.3 or later". I am running 4.2.1 and when I try to download it says 4.3 required.
    OK, I understand that new versions make use of facilities that come with new versions of IOS, but there is/was a version that runs on 3.1.3 and therefore, I assume 4.2.1. Where can I get the (old) version that runs on my IOS?
    The app store seems to ignore all legacy equipment owners, and want me to spend loadsa money to get the latest shiny toy. It probably makes business sense, but I dislike companies that take that approach. This is my first venture into smart phones, and I like the IOS interface, but I'm not sure I can afford the maintenance.

    This is standard for Apple.  While there is little official mention of the software support lifespan for equipment, typical support has been about 4-5 years for computers.  It strikes me that newer items, especially mobile devices, are not built as sturdily nor do they have the hardware upgrade capabilities required to keep up with newer systems.  When we bought an iPhone 4S we were told by the person in the store we'd probably be looking at a newer model in two years.  The iPhone 3G could be anywhere from 2 to 4 years old, putting it well into.
    As for app availability, Apple typically pulls old software versions from its site when new versions appear.  If it is a non-Apple app then I guess it is up to the vendor. It is indeed tiresome but it is not at all unusual.  Since I only ever run used Macs, I download current versions even though my computer won't run them, stick them on a hard drive, then I have them when I upgrade to a newer used computer.  If you run older equipment you have to learn a different mode of operation to exist with the Apple 'new and innovative' but 'forget about the old' philosophy.

    If, after reinstalling the update, you still can't use Safari, hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting and reinstall Lion or Mountain Lion

    It means what it says - it's not compatible with modern Macs. You need to buy a current version.
