Is the current top line Mac Mini with an SSD and 16GB RAM up to PS CS6 and LR5?
I currently have a 2007 MacPro 2007 2.66GH Xeon dual core ( 4 cores ) with 9GB RAM.
I had been thinking of the new MacPro but it will probably be hellishly expensive. I was thinking of getting a top of the line Mac Mini with 16GB RAM and an SSD and using USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt to run most of my programs and data storage externally. I use LR5 and PS CS6.
I was just wondering if the latest Mac Mini was up to the taks with 2-4 GB files and multiple layers? How well do this little guys hold up? I know that the power supply is now internal. Do they run cool enough.... even with an SSD?
Any Mini users out there care to chime in?Well, the big drawback on the Minis is Intel integrated Graphics.
iMacs & Minis run far too hot in my Opinion, Apple likely tested them in a 68° F. air conditioned room.
I myself would be looking into an older iMac, or Widows PC!

Can the latest version of Pages App load onto First Gen Ipad with ISO 5?
I hadn't purchased pages until now, but my old ipad with ISO 5 cannot install. Is there an older of Pages on Itunes to use on the old ISO 5?
Or can the ipad operating system be upgraded to ISO 7?The iPad 1 can only go up to iOS 5.1.1
See this note from Apple on older App versions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5919 -
When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?
The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac. You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod? If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either 2G or 3G. To identify yours:

Does anyone know what is the best version of word I can have on my older mac mini 10.5.8 PPC? I am running Leopard. Does anyone have it or know where I can get it please?
I agree with Grant. But to answer your question, that would be Word 2008. A quick search turns it up on sale at Amazon. You'll need to find it somewhere other than Microsoft itself, since MS stopped selling it when they released Word 2011.

Can't open documents some as recent as yesterday. "you will need a newer version of Pages...you can upgrade from the app store" The app store indicates i have the current version, upgrade not appropriate. A relatively new problem.
You have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications. -
How can I get updates for Photoshop CS5 to download to my new Mac book pro where CS5 is already installed from my original disk? I have tried many times over 2 days. I get the same error messages re downloading error. I successfully downloaded the current version of Adobe DNG Converter & it installed perfectly. Help please!
The Adobe auto updater is highly unreliable.
You need to look for and download the update yourself and then manually apply it as per the detailed instructions on the download page:

Please note that the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in must be updated separately, after you have updated Photoshop:

Using the current version of photoshop CC with Mac OS 10.9 for the next 5 or so years on same mac?
I am intending to upgrade to photoshop CC from photoshop CS6, my concern is is my computer is 6 years old and probably I will not be able to upgrade to a later mac operating system as I have mac os 10.9, and I may not be able to upgrade to a future version of photoshop, will I be able to use the current version of photoshop CC with Mac OS 10.9 for the next 5 or so years on same mac?, I know I can do this with Photoshop CS6.
There's no reason why you can't do both. You will always have CS6 to fall back on if the need should ever arise, the same as most of the regular posters here. But you could enjoy CC for as long as it suited you, and it has some very features and more are coming all the time.
We've seen two nice updates to Photoshop CC in the eight months since the subscription model went live. (Have I got that right?) So we can expect three a year or more, and there were some killer new features in 14.2. Heck, it would already break my heart if I had to go back to CS6. In another four years... It ain't gonna happen. -

How can I open a CS4 file in the current version of Illustrator?
I am collaborating with a friend on a project. He has CS4 and can't/won't upgrade.
I was able to send him a file I created in the current version of Illustrator, and he was able to open it (I don't know how successfully, but it opened).
He then saved it with a new name.ai and sent it back to me. When I open it, Illustrator thinks it's a photoshop file. It's able to open it ok, but it's rasterized, and is lacking a lot of details. So, even when I use Image Trace to get the pieces back, little shapes, like the tongue in an animal's mouth, are missing. And all of the individual pieces that make the Illustrator file so easy to tweak are lacking.
Is there a trick to making this work, on my side or on his? I already tried searching via google and didn't find anything that looked helpful.
Last resort may be to get him to just install the 30 day trial of the current version so we can get this project done.
Thanks for any ideas!Having his install the trial is the way to go. Working between AI versions is a pain and as you are finding out almost impossible with 5 versions between the collaborators.

How can I connect my 2009 Mac Mini to a TV that only has the Component inputs available? My Mac Mini has a Mini DisplayPort and Mini-DVI port. Thanks.
Composite is analogue with one connector. That is why it is called composite
Component is analogue with three connections. I think one for each color
Here is the one for component. I misread composite for component

What exactly is "adobe"? Adobe is the name of a company that has hundreds of software products, each with a distinct name.
You are posting in the Flash Player forum; do you really receive emails with Flash attachments?
Flash Player also cannot scan or send emails.
Finally you give no information regarding your operating system, email client, etc. -
