Can you run Photoshop CS4 on an iMac?

    One TechNote I was just pointed to says you need a PowerPC G5 with multicore Intel Processor.
HUH?! I've always owned iMacs and run a graphic design business with them. I have a brand new 24" iMac with memory upgrades and a top graphics card, but I am having major issues with saving files. (files truncated when trying to reopen).
Any advice?
Apple thinks it should work, but Adobe?

Those are good ideas, but I have not been saving over a network. I save everything directly to my harddrive.
Also, I did do numerous troubleshooting with an apple technician, trying to find out if there was an error in the hard disk. But since then the computer the problem first showed up on was stolen and I have replaced it with another brand new iMac that is having the same problems!!  I recreated this one from the Time Machine backup of the other one, so perhaps I just carried over the problem. I think the next step is to reinstall the software.
Thanks for trying. Any other ideas? I'll let you know if reinstalling helps.

  • Can you run indesign cs4 on a laptop without internet connection

    I believe that Indesign CS4 checks over the internet before opening. If that is the case can you run it on a laptop without an internet connection?
    Thanks

    From an earlier post by Nicolas Mertens:
    "here's what I got from Customer Services about this problem:
    [Help] files are located in the following location:
    C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Help/en_us/InDesign/6.0. Also
    from that location, you can launch the file 'index.html' and this
    should direct you to *the online help that you would access through
    the program itself.*"
    I found that the files are not at that location, but at C:/Program
    Files/Common Files/Adobe/Help/en_GB/InDesign/6.0 (this is in Windows
    Vista, by the way). "
    Yours would presumably be at [the German equivalent of
    ..]/de-DE/InDesign6.0, or whatever your locale is (AT, CH...)

  • 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 you run cable TV thru an iMac?

    I have a PC that has Windows Media Center.  Works GREAT.  Cable comes right up, and recording is a snap.
    So.
    If I get a new iMac, or say a MacBook Pro----
    can I run cable thru it and use it as a TV?  Like the PC?
    Please say yes.

    Yes.
    Well I should say you can do it but you need a converter such as ElGato's EyeTV.
    Best of luck.

  • Can I run Photoshop CS4 and CS1 on the same Mac?

    I've been building pages for a website on my old Mac with Photoshop CS1 then slicing and optimising them in ImageReady before uploading to the site I'm building in Dreamweaver where I put in the body text.
    Recently I upgraded to a newer Mac running Snow Leopard and CS4 where I discovered that ImageReady is now considered a thing of the past. I read that Fireworks and Dreamweaver are now the most sophisticated way to go but after a month perservering with fireworks I'm finding it a very clunky, complicated way to operate. I don't like using it and I hate the prospect of starting over to re-build my existing site.
    ( http://www.mountainstream.com.au )
    So... will my CS1 version of Photoshop and Imageready run successfully on Snow Leopard and, if so, can I have two versions of one program loaded on my Mac at once? The aim is to be able to use CS1 for Imageready and revert to CS4 for my usual work.

  • Can I run Photoshop CS4 and CS5 on the same system?

    I read somewhere a zillion years ago (right?) that you coould run CS4 and CS5 on the same system but at the time I wasn't even considering it.
    Run on the same system - not ness to run at the same time
    Or should I install it on a seperate drive (bootable) and go that route. What has everyone found to work and/or not work?
    Thanks in advance for your help
    BJ

    Yes, you can run CS4 an CS5 on the same computer.  They install in different folders and don't get in each other's way.  As a matter of fact, you will find many posts in this forum from the experts recommending to keep CS4 (or an earlier version) when installing CS5.  This way, there is no danger of losing any older plug-ins you may have that aren't compatible to CS5.
    When I installed PS CS5 I had problems with my scanner driver.  Instead of spending loads of time fixing that problem, I just use PS CS4 when I want to spend an afternoon scanning things. I'm not recommending that "lazy man's" solution, but it is an example of how CS4 and CS5 can be used on the same system.

  • Can you run iphone apps on your iMac?

    Is there anyway to run apps from my iPhone, on my iMac? Especially games and such, (Clash of Clans).

    No, there isn't as they are two different operating systems. You'd have to purchase the Mac OS equivalent of such an app (if there is one).

    How do I get an epson scanner 1680 to work with photoshop cs4 on an iMac running 10.7.5?

    I've tried updating with the USB cord, updating wirelessly, downloading the drivers manually, installing them manually and every concieveable combination of the above. This is getting extremely frustrating and i'm ready to toss this macbook into a wall.
    TLDR;
    This is my first experience with a macbook and so far i'm finding the whole experience extremely difficult and disapointing. I felt that because of the hype, that macs were top of the line but i'm seriously considering ditching the mac and heading back to pc if this issue can't be resolved.

  • Can you run Adobe Photoshop CS version 8 on Yosemite?

    Can you run Adobe Photoshop CS version 8 on Yosemite?

    Well if you want permanent license Adobe software, here is the price list for the CS6 catalog .  Creative Suite 6
    Just know that with the exception of Adobe Camera Raw updates, CS6 will have maintenance updates, but not the features of CC 2014.
    The rental model called Creative Cloud means you will have the software installed on your Mac and you can work with your files as before, it's just that activation depends on a $50 monthly fee. Upgrades are piped in at no further cost, and you have the freedom to switch platforms and interface languages. You activate on up to two computers, PC, Mac or mixed. 20 GB online storage for collaboration, and you can also store and sync your settings and custom presets. Typekit if you'd like to try new and difference fonts.
    Look at it this way, it's not a big deal if you are in business. You rent many things and this is probably not your largest monthly expense.

  • Is there a store in HongKong where you can buy Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended?

    Um... Does anyone know where in HongKong I can buy Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended? And how much does it cost there?

    I would think that Adobe would have a list of authorized re-sellers. If not, then contact their International Sales Dept., and inquire. That should get you a list.
    Happy shopping,

  • Can you run a windows only Photoshop plugin on a Mac using Parallels?

    Can you run a windows only Photoshop plugin on a Mac using Parallels?   In particular a .8BF plugin like PTFilters.8BF  or Super Cubic.

    If you also have a Photoshop version of the Photoshop application, the answer is of course YES.
    Otherwise, the answer is no,
    If you have the CC subscription, then of course you can install a Photoshop Windows version and run your plug-in.  That'll be separate from your Photoshop Mac install..

    I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on iMac OS X and have recently had to reinstall the OS following upgrade to an SSD.  I cannot update Photoshop as it says it is unable to extract the downloaded files (U44M1/2010).  Should I reinstall Photoshop and Bridge from scratch or is there an easier way?@@ !

    Sounds like you transferred programs from another drive? This isn't a very good way to do it. Yes, re-install the Adobe apps.

  • Can one run Microsoft publisher on a imac without using a virtual software?

    Can one run Microsoft publisher on a imac without using a virtual software?

    You would have to use Bootcamp to install a full copy of Windows to run Publisher, or virtual software.  There's no other way.  Microssoft's native code is not compatible with Apple's OSX code.
