Can I use Adobe CS1 on Snow Leopard?

Does anyone have an authoritative answer ? I have the original CS software and need a new Mac. I've heard conflicting reports about 10.6 running the old CS. Should I look for a computer with 10.5?

I suspect what ya get depends partly on what other "things" you have installed, perhaps the purity of one's system has an effect. I had a fresh and pretty much unmodified version of Leopard (no haxies, no batch of fonts other than the system ones, no programs to speak of except Apple's, and so on) that I updated to Snow Leopard.
Also, the reason I haven't updated the CS1 is that I discovered I could do pretty much everything I wanted to do using Photoshop Elements, which can be purchased for 100 bucks or less (depending on where you buy it), and I had gotten sick of Adobe's exorbitant upgrade prices. So I'm now using Elements 99% of the time, I only launch CS1 on very rare occasions to do a couple of things that can't be done using Elements (generally it is creating custom effects and saving them). Depending on exactly what you do, you may not need CS at all. Check out the features for the latest version of Elements for the Mac:

That may be all you need.

    Beth,
    Yes, absolutely.  I have a 10.6.8 iMac here, and FaceTime works very well with it.  The minimum requirement for FaceTime for Mac is 10.6.6

  • When trying to burn a playlist to a blank CD, iTunes 10.3.1 won't recognize the blank CD I've inserted (Verbatim CD-R). I've burned using these CDs before, this is a recent problem. Not the burner, as I can burn using Toast. iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    What kind of CD are you burning (Audio or MP3)?
    If you're burning an MP3 CD, the songs must already
    be in mp3 format.
    If not, iTunes will tell you that you have no songs
    in the playlist.

    I was making an audio cd. But I have since found out what the problem was. The files in my PLAYLIST I converted to aiff, since they were SDll files (I thought they were similar to AIFF, and they PLAY on Itunes...just won't burn.) When I selected the songs in the playlist and converted them...I thought all those files were converted, They were not. The converted files went into my LIBRARY, even tho I selected the ones in the playlist...and once I exchanged the SDll versions of the songs in my playlist. THEN they burned fine...but still...it's confusing..you say convert..it says it's been converted..and what they don't say is it's not been converted inside the playlist...where I had selected the songs...It just ADDED aiff versions..but only in the library...Anyway, that's what happened. But it's strange that it PLAYS SDll but won't burn them....and you'd think, logically..the ones you selected would change...but they don't. Playlists are mainly pointers to the actual files I guess...a sort of Alias..
    At least it works now. But it's sad that the latest itunes does more, but also does LESS...as I used to be able to burn SDll files. Now I'll have to convert all my files to AIFF, and mp3's as I assume my ipod video won't play anything but mp3's?

  • Can I use iCal/Mail from Snow Leopard to access iCloud?

    Hi All-
    I got the iOS 5 upgrade on my iPad & iPhone.  I have a MBP that is running Lion (10.7.2), and a MacPro that is still running Snow Leopard (10.6.8).
    I currently use MobileMe to sync my calendars, contacts, and bookmarks.  I can view these in iCal, Address Book, and Safari, respectively.
    If I move my MobileMe account to iCloud, will the iCal, Address Book, and Safari Bookmarks on my Snow Leopard Mac Pro still sync properly, or will I need to upgrade my MacPro to Lion prior to migrating to iCloud?
    I can initiate the move on the MBP, but I don't want to strand the MacPro.
    Thanks!

    This is what applies on a Pre-Lion Mac when you upgrade your MobileMe account to iCloud:
    Your email, calendars, contacts and bookmarks, and 'Find my iPhone' will be migrated to iCloud.
    Your iDisk, together with website hosting and Gallery, will continue to work as before until next June.
    Syncing of Dashboard Widgets, Dock Items and Keychains between Macs, and Mail Accounts, Mail Rules, System Preferences, Signatures & Smart Mailboxes between Macs & iOS devices, will cease altogether.
    You will be able to access email, calendar and contacts on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
    You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
    You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
    You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
    Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion.
    There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is).

  • Can i use someone else's Snow Leopard boot disk to upgrade my mac?

    I am unfortunately at that stage in life where as a teenager i have many lusts and "needs" but have hit the road block... money.
    I have enough to buy lion through the appstore but have not got enough to first upgrade to Snow Leopard and THEN Lion as well.
    If my dad has a Snow Leopard boot disk with his mac, can i use it to upgrade mine and then go on to buy Lion through the Mac Appstore?
    Thanks!

    No for possibly two reasons ... First, that's illegal as it's a violation of the Apple license agreement, and second, boot disks are locked to the system type they are delivered with.  Ask your Dad instead how you can earn $29 doing some chores around the house, or let the word get out that for any holiday gifts in December that cash would be appreciated.
    Since you're on Leopard today, you probaby know in wanting to move to Lion that Lion no longer has the Rosetta emulator and thus doesn't support anything with PowerPC code. That's surprised some, so just FYI. 

  • Can't use Waves GTR3 on Snow Leopard

    Hi everybody,
    I used the Waves GTR 3 component to get some guitar sounds on Logic or on stage, but since I set up Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro, GTR3 refuses to lunch because it doesn't recognize my Presonus Firestudio Project audio hardware, and tells me "Scanning Audio Device : Built-in Input".
    Is somebody can help me to fix it?
    Thank you !

    It says nothing about it. But actually there're two problems.
    The first is with the PreSonus Firestudio Project audio device, and the second with the Waves GTR3 software.
    But I think the roots of the problem come from the detection of the audio device.

  • Can I use i-cloud on snow leopard + another question~

    Just updtaed my iphone 4 to use i-cloud, now my icloud set up is telling me to ensure that I have Snow Leopard ($29? I cant afford it now).  Can put i-cloud on my MAC with Snow Leopard?  Also, a question about whats saved on i-cloud...  can you select and unselect individgual files that I may not want saved on the
    i-cloud?  Say, photos or songs I only want to remain to remain on my MAC.. some items may be sensative, and just do not want them floating in some cloud.. THANKS for your help.

    Forgive me, I am so not that MAC inteligent. I thought i-cloud was a way to share content between my divices, my MAC, Iphone and that content is saved on i-cloud.. if I download a pic on my MAC, I can access it on my i-phone via cloud.  If I download music on my i-phone, I can play it on my mac via i-cloud... Correct?  With that said, I can not afford the LION UPgrade.  So, if I am understanding correct. i-tunes in the cloud will do basicaly the same but its limited to MUSIC only?

  • I have a craft cd that can be used with a pc or Mac os-9.  Can I use this with my snow leopard 10.6 ?

    I have a craft cd that can be used with a pc or Mac 0s-9.  Can I use this cd on my IMacG5 10.6.8?

    Pop in the CD and try, however it is unlikely because Classic App's will not run in Snow Leopard.
    Also note: that only 2006  Intel iMac's or later can run Snow Leopard and not per 2006 G5 iMac's.

  • Can I use the new cheap Snow Leopard disc on a G5 that has a wiped system?

    I was lucky enough to get hold of one of my companies old G5's recently. It is a 1.6 single core and has been refurbished. For whatever reason though my company always wipe the hard drive clean before handing them on to us so it does not actually work at present. What I need to know is will the new ultra cheap Snow Leopard disc get this system working or do I need the full package version? My budget is limited and I am ignorant of all things Apple so want to take baby steps with this.

    You can get leopard here for £8.50

    Just make sure it's the generic DVD (one that will work in any Mac model) and not a model-specific version.
    You might be advised to Google for it, for a while, before buying.
    But it seems to be selling cheaply now.

  • Can I use Migration Assistant from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion?

    I've done a clean install of Mountain Lion 10.8.1 - a 'test' installation on a new clean partition on my main HD. It boots fine and runs fine. But Mountain Lion's Migration Assistant does not recognise my external HDD which contains a bootable clone (CCC) of my entire SL installation (my present computer). The little progress clock icon just keeps going round and round and round...
    I want to migrate my account files, settings, bookmarks etc etc from SL to Mountian Lion but I'm stumped because of ML not recognising my SL installation.
    Plus, I'm considering buying a new MBP Retina in near future and don't want to be caught out with this problem with that either.
    Because this is my only computer, and it holds all my business, I can't afford anything but a seamless migration without problem-down-time (which I had unbearbly with Lion and reverted to SL almost immediately as a result).
    Thank you in advance for any advice offered.

    To reinstall iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the:
    HD/Library/Receipts folder (10.5 and earlier)
    or from the /var/db/receipts/  folder (10.6) .
    or from the /private/var/db/receipts folder (10.7 or later)
    Then install iPhoto from the source it came from originally, i.e. the disks that came with your Mac, an iLife disk or the App Store if your Mac came with Lion or Mt. Lion preinstalled.

    Thanks.

    >Step 1. Backup existing data using time machine.
    Time Machine is nice, but you have very little in terms of ability to verify that your data is all backed up.      I find Time Machine is better for the occasional recovery of previously written data at specific times.  A good backup solution that survives an erase and install (there is no clean install in Mac OS X), is a clone, and preferably TWO clones.    See my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    Time Machine can work as good as a clone, and in fact I once had to rely on it because my hard drive died.  Thankfully it did recover everything.   But I had my clone just in case it didn't work.     Now I feel more comfortable since clones allow you to boot themselves, and thus prove all the important system information got saved, and not just the user data.
    Clones are also easier to import with the migration assistant.

  • With the Lion, the copy and paste commands don't work.  So if you choose a photo and right click Copy, this photo can't be pasted in another event.  This used to work with Snow Leopard.

    The copy and paste functions in iPhoto used to work in Snow Leopard, but not with the Lion.  How do I copy and paste photos from one event to another?  What I don't understand is that it used to work with Snow Leopard, and now that the OS has been upgraded to Lion, it doesn't? 

    Instead of copy and paste drag the photo to the new event. Or flag it and use the add flagged photos to selected event command

  • Can I dual boot Mavericks and Snow Leopard?

    Hello. I own a 2011 i5 iMac. I recently started working with some softwares that will only work properly on Snow Leopard, but I have Mavericks installed. My question is: can I create a new partition in my HD and use BootCamp to install Snow Leopard?

    If it is a Late 2011 model, then you cannot. The earlier models came with a special version of Snow Leopard on DVDs. You can install only that version of Snow Leopard. If you've lost those discs, then you are out of luck.
    You do not use Boot Camp for this. Rather, you will use Disk Utility.
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

  • Can I restore files from a Snow Leopard

    Can I restore files from a Snow Leopard Time Machine backup onto Lion?

    Not really a reply, but I have the same question.  I purchased a new iMac and installed Lion.  I used the Migration Assistant to copy everything to the new machine, but I would like to have a backup copy in case something gets lost.
    Why don't you just do a new backup?
    Can I restore individual files from the Time Machine backup on Computer A running Snow Leopard to Computer B running Lion?
    Yes, via #16 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  But the permissions from Computer A will be restored, too, so the user account you restore them to on computer B may or may not have permission to see or change them.

    OK, I think you are trying to connect the printer wirelessly to your wireless router, right?
    I think that is the way to go, so let's do that:
    1. Restart the router by pulling its power cord momentarily.  Let it restart.
    2. On the front of the printer go to Setup > Wireless (or Netowrk, not sure) > Wireless Setup Wizard.  Run the Wizard to connect your printer to your router.
    3. After that, go to Control Panel > Devices & Printers and delete all instances of the printer.
    4. Finally re-add the printer with these instructions:
    1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing. Get its IP from a Network Test printed from the front panel of the printer.
    2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Devices & Printers.
    3. Click the Add a printer
    4. Select Local printer
    5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
    6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
    7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
    If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
    8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
    9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
    10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
    11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
    12. Click Finish.
