Creative Suite 2 incompatible with OS 10.8.4

I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro (OS 10.8.4) and was hoping to install my CS2 from way back when. I now see that PowerPC is not supported on the more recent versions of OS X and the Rosetta software only supports up until about OS 10.7 . I saw that when Apple started phasing out PowerPC, Adobe offered codes for Adobe users affected by this. What can I do so that I can successfully install my CS2 onto my new computer? Help!

Hi aoves,
CS2 is a very old product and is not supported with Mountain Lion. Please find the system requirement for installing CS2:http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-photoshop.html#main_ Older_Versions .

    Yes/No/perhaps. All depends on the specifics of the system and its configuration. most stuff should work, but of course there always could be compatibility issues.

  • Is adobe creative suite version1 compatible with windows 7

    is adobe creative suite version1 compatible with windows 7

    Unfortunately, while I imagine it could be made to run on Windows 7, you simply won't be able to activate it on the new system because Adobe has taken the activation servers offline.
    For a while Adobe published a version of CS2 with a special no-activation serial number, specifically for folks who have run afoul of the activation server problem, and at first it included users of CS and CS2.  Unfortunately, the language of that page has changed to make it clear that only licensed users of CS2 may take advantage of the download.
    You can judge for yourself here:

  • Is creative Suite 6 compatible with yosemite

    I was trying to see if Is creative Suite 6 compatable with the new mac os yosemite?

    CS6 works with Yosemite, although I don't think its officially supported.
    Keep in mind that if you go with a retina iMac, only Photoshop & Illustrator are retina.... InDesign & Acrobat are not.

  • Adobe Creative Suites 5 compatibility with Maverick 10.9.2

    I have an iMac 10.6.8 with Adobe Creative Suites 5 Design Premium. Does Maverick 10.9.2 support all of the Adobe Creative Suite programs, specifically Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign?

    Chance,
    It is for AI CS5, PS CS5, and ID CS5 according to these pages (although you have to find it under CS6 and know that Mavericks is Intel based):

  • How do I fix Creative Suite CS2 reinstall with error message "Missing or Invalid Personalization Inf

    How do I fix Creative Suite CS2 reinstall on same Windows 7 Pro machine, with error message "Missing or Invalid Personalization Information / Missing Resources Library" when I attempt to reinstall from installation disk set? Was having trouble with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8; Uninstalled and am now stuck. You can email me if you like at [email protected] Thank you.

    Hi Bill:
         I don't remember deactivating (after my XP PRO harddrive scattered)
    when I did the first Windows 7 pro install of these programs and it went
    fairly well except AA8 was a little problematic when converting from MS
    Word.
         In my case the AA8 came with a Studio 8 suite of programs as follows:
         1) A Studio 8 installation disk
         2) A Creative Suite CS2 Premium set of installation disks.
         3) A Creative Suite 2.3 Premium upgrade disk with AA8
         I uninstalled AA8 and when I tried reinstallation the directions
    said to do the Creative Suite CS2 Premium set of installation disks
    first followed by the Creative Suite 2.3 Premium upgrade disk with AA8.
    Now I'm stuck; What a mess.
         Thanks for trying to help.
         I will do as you suggest and go to

  • Is Creative Suite 5 compatible with Mavericks?

    My wife has Creative Suite 5 on her computer which we use quite a bit. I am loving Mavericks on my MacBook but don't want to update hers unless Creative Suite will be ok. Has anybody tried it yet?

    Well,
    Be careful if doing a reinstallation. Mavericks has updated Safari with a push notification app which is difficult or near impossible to turn off.  CS5 will not complete the installation process unless this application is closed, so you may end up waiting an hour for installation only to discover that the installer has halted at 99 percent!

  • Creative Suite CS4: Problems with font managing software

    It seems that there are some issues of the applications of the creative suite CS4 with the font managing software MainType (http://www.high-logic.com/maintype.html).
    With standard settings, CS4 no longer recognizes PostScript Type 1 Fonts loaded by MainType (which did not occur with CS3 and older versions). The only solution so far is this workaround:  Within MainType enable under "Tools -> Options" the option "Copy Type 1 Postscript fonts to Windows fonts folder" and CS4 will load these fonts again.
    This seems to be a bug of CS4. Are there problems with other font managing programs?
    regards
    fabian

    After reading tons of forums about this issue, it does seem to be an issue with CS4 not recognizing fonts the way that CS3 did. Wish they had mentioned that little feature when they released it. They even go as far as to say they do not support certain programs for type handling in Windows. Copying them to the system folder is a workaround, but it is not available easily in programs like Extensis' Suitcase, which is long overdue an upgrade. LinoType beta tested a new application for Windows, but when I sent an email to them asking about the release date for the their final version, their ignorant customer support sent me a link to their website pointing out that it is not yet available, and not answering my initial question of when.
    I don't entirely blame Adobe, it seems as though a lot of companies have dropped the ball on this issue, and since many people have Type 1 fonts they've been using for years, they will have to repurchase (if available) those fonts in the newer OTF format which everyone seems to support. OTF is a much nicer format and more portable cross-platform, but it's simply inconvenient to not be able to use all of your fonts at your own discretion easily. I'm not sure what the big deal was with not including support for Type 1 fonts, unless that's most of the reason that the Adobe apps were crashing before... corrupt versions of the fonts they talked us into purchasing, etc... Adobe used to make ATM for managing postscript fonts, but it doesn't work on Vista to my knowledge. It would be nice if they would recommend a font manager other than the Windows system folder.
    I figure Adobe was hoping that it would not be a major issue since their wonderful PDF format has taken hold for printing. Print shops do not have to install fonts before printing a piece anymore. Most people will read in these forums about the loss of support, throw up their hands and shake their heads, but do nothing about it. After all they too probably purchased the CS4 suite without knowing about this issue and have already spent their money. It doesn't look as though it's an issue on the Mac, but by the time you throw $3000 at an entry level Mac workstation and $1600 at the basic adobe apps, that's not a solution either. Especially when you have to go out and buy all new fonts anyhow, since the macs will not support the Windows postscript typeface formats either.
    After doing a little price shopping for typefaces, I'm trying to try to keep using the few OTF and TTF fonts I've purchased since they're still working, since the prices of fonts these days are astronomical. I've installed a few fonts in the system folder, but too many and Acrobat distiller crashes. It's not cost effective to spend all of your income from design on $1600 font family sets, just to make changes to a document where you might have used a postscript face. Especially in this economy... It's another case of the investor getting rewarded for the release of an application and the customer is left holding the bag. Hopefully it's a bug, but not likely. It's probably some mandated decision by the higher ups in Adobe.
    I'm sure larger companies with hundreds of employees probably have site licenses for typefaces in the OTF format, so for them it's not a problem, and since most people using PCs to do design opted for that platform because of the cost issue, Adobe probably doesn't care about them either. Maybe a solution will arise in the future, but it doesn't look likely. You will probably have to get the new formats of typefaces one by one.

  • Creative Suite 6 compatible with Vista?

    The Windows system requirements for Adobe Creative Suite 6 CS6 Design & Web Premium says "Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 3 or Windows 7 with Service Pack 1".
    I’m running Vista. Is this compatible? Or do I have to upgrade from Vista to Windows 8? Is it compatible with 8?

    It works just fine on Win Vista.

    I am considering upgrading for Mac OSX Mavericks to the new OSX Yosemite. Can you please tell me if Creative Suite 5 is compatible with the new OS?

    No. It's not even supported in Mavericks. Maybe it will work, maybe it
    won't.

  • I need to reinstall my CS3 creative suite I bought with a student license.  It allows me to install but never asked for the serial number.  I can open the programs but can not use them, get a "Adobe updater quit unexpectedly" message.

    I bought a CS3 creative suite on a student license in 2008.  The original MAC laptop has died and I am trying to install it on a MAC desktop.  the programs installs successfully but never ask for a serial number.  the programs will open but I can not open any files,  I get a Adobe Updater quite unexpectedly message.  Is this because the serial number has not been entered? I have tried chat about this problem twice, also use Adobe connect and was not helped. How do I enter this serial number?

    activate is grayed out.  Registration is available and when I select it, it says "A problem was encountered while trying to send the information over the internet"  So I select "submit again" and nothing happens.  Then the program closes and I get the added updater quite message.

  • Trying to match Adobe Creative Suite Serial Numbers with Installed Software's

    I'm trying to log all of my Adobe Creative Suite Software's in an Excel Sheet so i can know which computer the software's are installed on. I own and registered 8 versions of Creative Suite for our office, but i'm trying to now find out which computer each one is installed on for our database logs. When i try to compare our software's serial numbers (Ex. Photoshop, Illustrator) to our Creative Suite serial number nothing matches. How can i find the correct serial numbers to know which computer has which Creative Suite installed without the CD-Roms?

    You can't. You will have to deactivate and reactivate by inputting the serial numbers from scratch.
