Creative Suite compatibility

What is the earliest version of Adobe Creative Suite that is compatible with icloud and Lion OSX 10.7.5?
I have CS2 and its usless now. What CS version can I to upgrade to without having to jump to CS5 or 6 $$$$$

I don't know that Adobe would even upgrade to a product that's no longer shipping. The CS6 route is probably the best. You could always subscribe to Adobe's Creative Cloud for $50 per month and use all of the CS6 applications.

Different versions of Adobe Creative Suite Compatibility (CS5 and CS5.5)

Our marketing team has two different versions of Adobe Creative Suite (CS5 and CS5.5). We can save the CS5.5 down to an IDML document so users with CS5 can open/manipulate the file but it reduces the file size significantly. What I do not know is if this saving down process reduces the quality of the file?? I am relatively inexperienced with these programs as I am self-taught. Thanks for your help!

IDML is good for repairing files.
But IDML is not good to be used as exchange in a workflow because every export of IDML can change things in an unexpected way. So I would strongly recommend that everyone in the department involved in the workflow uses the very same version, anything else will let you struggle in a later point of time. When I have to exchange files with a client I use always their versions and avoid IDML in exchanging files in any case possible.
Between CS5.0 and 5.5 are also several changes possible, because some bugs related to the text engine became fixed. E.g. in CS5 if you had an automatic TOC or cross reference in a text frame with 1 or 3 round corners and 3 or 1 normal corners, automatic number got shuffled in that frame, like page 345 became 543. When this was fixed some changes in the text engine have been done.

Adobe Creative Suite Compatibility?

Help! Does anyone have any information on whether Leopard supports Adobe CS1? I called the Adobe helpline and their official stance is that Leopard will only support CS3. However, the product specialist acknowledged that Adobe has not officially tested CS2 or CS1 specifically. Someone I know told me that he runs CS2 on his Leopard system and it runs perfectly well. Does anyone know for certain whether CS1 runs on Leopard?
I am considering purchasing a Leopard laptop but do not want to pay to upgrade to CS3 (CS1 is sufficient for my purposes and funds are low). Therefore, I am waiting to make my decision, contingent on this CS1 info. I'd really like to try to track down an answer soon.
Thanks.

Have the same question re: CS1, read a few posts on the Adobe forums, but not many have tested CS1/Leopard.
Debating updating my Powerbook G4 (10.3.9; 1.2 RAM), cannot decide to buy a retail Tiger or Leopard (as eventually I will install the Leopard upgrade on the my new iMac, but am fine with Tiger right now).

Creative suite 4 and 5.5 compatable with Windows 8 and Office 2013?

We have both Creative Suite 4 and a few CS5.5. One classroom will be moving to Windows 8 and Office 2013 this Summer term. Will either of these suites work or will we need to upgrade to CS6?

The only honest answer: You won't know until you try. Generally they will/ should be compatible, but you may require dealing with legacy issues like printer compatibility or thne installer not finding specific folders as well as al lthe usual - security stuff, user privileges, network stuff in shared environements. you would face some of those issues even with CS6 or CC, so it's irrelevant to get a new version until there are real hard reasons beyond these issues. They can all be resolved, it may just take some fiddling and lots of patience.

Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium Mac Compatability

If I purchase Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium (not the CC subscription plan), will it still work on my Mac with future OSX updates (to Yosemite this fall, and future updates beyond that)? Under the compatibility section is says that it will work through 10.9, but I don't want to buy something that won't work if I update my computer.

Nobody can know. That's like asking for a precise weather forecast for next year's holiday. Apple has a mind of its own and simply doesn't care and since CS6 is already several years old now, you can bet that potential compatibility issues won't get better. Either you live with that and are fit enough to deal with these issues or you need to look into other options.

Macbook Pro compatibility with Creative Suite 2?

I was wondering if any of you Macbook Pro users are running Adobe's software from CS2, specifically Photoshop and Illustrator? What are your experiences with it?
I'm thinking of getting the 15" 2.16 Ghz Macbook Pro. I RECENTLY bought Adobe Suite CS2 for my iMac G5. Not sure what I should do. I think it would be very expensive to have to buy the new Creative Suite that will guarantee to work on the Intel Macs. So I was wondering if anyone is running the software alright on the current Macbook Pros

I find the creative suite to be painfully slow on my MBP (17" C2D 2.33Ghz, 2GB RAM). Of course it does depend how heavy you are using it. But basically I cannot use photoshop or AE under mac OSX, it drives me nuts. FOr light projects I just switch to parallels, they usually work smoother running under parallels with only 1GB RAM allocated to windows. ANd for serious stuff I switch to bootcamp so they get the full 2GB... cant wait for CS3!

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):

A few of us have alerted Adobe, trying to have these pages updated.

Creative Suite 4 and CS5 Compatibility

Hi guys, i have a new question:
Recently I installed Creative Suite 4 Design Standard Student Edition. I am looking to buy Flash CS5 Pro Student Edition. What I want to know, will flash CS5 be compatible with Design Standard CS4? Will I have to uninstall CS4 at any time or what? Or will I just be able to register, install and then will it all work?
My OS is a Windows 7 Home Premium. If I need to include any more info, please ask.

Should work fine (depending on your workflow) but the difference in cost between the single apps and the suites is so small you might want to reconsider.
Once you graduate you'll never get an opportunity to buy at prices this low again.

New computer win 8.1 pro, installed my creative Suite 4 Design premium but it shuts down when I try to use any of the programs and gives me an error code 147:20. How can I fix this?

New computer win 8.1 pro, installed my creative Suite 4 Design premium but it shuts down when I try to use any of the programs and gives me an error code 147:20. How can I fix this? Is this a conflict with win 8.1 pro?

You need to adjust your security stuff/ permissions and possibly use compatibility modes. It means that your licensing service is being blocked/ shut down.

How to install creative suite 4 on windows 8.1?

I have a new Windows 8.1 laptop and am trying to install Creative Suite 4 on it. I was able to do this on another laptop with 8.1, but that was over a year ago. When I tried installing to the new computer from the CD, I got a message that "the Installer database is corrupt." I contacted Adobe Support, and per their instructions I downloaded the "ADBESTDSCS4_LS1.7z" and "ADBESTDSCS4_LS1" files from the Download CS4 products page. I clicked the applications file, and it created a "Adobe CS4\Design Premium\Adobe CS4" directory under my desktop. However, when I click the setup file, I get the same message - "the Installer database is corrupt." I contact support again, and they told me that CS4 doesn't work with W8.1 - which is nonsense because it installed just fine on my W8.1 ultrabook. So - what are the steps for installing CS4 on Windows 8.1, and how do I deal with the "installer database is corrupt" issue? Thanks!

I found the solution. I did some research and found references to deleting the caps.db files under older versions of Windows. I did find a caps.db file under C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Backup. I deleted the file, and then right-clicked the setup file and used "Run as Administrator" (didn't do that the first time), Everything installed fine, except for an error message with Adobe Flash CS4. But so far, the programs seem to work fine. BTW, Adobe Reader 11, Photoshop Elements 11, and Premier 11 came preinstalled with my computer), which may have created some conflicts.
For what it's worth, Adobe's own website indicates that there are no known issues with Windows 8.1 for CS4 (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/windows-8-1-compatability.html).

Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web Premium won't launch on Mac

I use 13 inch MacBook Air. I downloaded Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web Premium from my college. It has Flash, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Illustrator CS5. But only Flsh and Dreamweaver launch when I click them. When I click Photoshop and Illustrator, nothing happends.
I tried uninstalling them and reinstalled but still not launching. I updated mac to mavericks and installed the java update but still nothing happens when I click them. Also Acrobat Pro I downloaded from my college doesn't launch either.
Let me know if you need any more information about my device.
Thank you for your help.

illustrator cs5 has been reported as incompatible, ps cs5 compatible and i can't tell which acrobat pro version you're trying to use.
in any case, here's a user-based mac compatibility table:

Problem Deploying Creative Suite 5.5 to Windows 7 64 Bit

Hi,
I`ve been looking into deploying CS 5.5 Design Premium to our teaching machines for the last few days now.
Finding it very difficult to get the suite to deploy.
Have used the Application Manager Enterprise Edition to package the software and then put this on our network.
I`m then using windows group policy to deploy the software to our workstations.
Unfortuantely io`m finding that the install is constantly failing.
Looking at the log files I`m finding entries like these. What do you suggest?

Hi Mike,
I'm also trying to deploy the package in an Education environment. So far we've worked out that the path tends to eat up quite a length and ideally should be reduced. Out deployment tool at the moment is Altiris, and there's a call in with them to fix a specific problem with that.
As a result we copy the package locally and install it from a slightly shorter directory structure. Also of note - to deploy and run the package:
You'll need to SHIM the java.cpl files and Adobe Extension manager exe, using the Application Compatibility Toolkit from Microsoft (or google Manifest + Windows 7). The SHIM fix you're looking for is RunAsInvoker as far as I can work out.
Unfortunately the package we've created still doesn't deploy 100%, the set-up.dat file deep inside the package seems to work and starts creating shortcuts etc but then fails at some point later in the installation. We're still investigating what's gone wrong as it then rolls everything back.

Should I return my new MacBook Pro? Creative Suite CS and CS2 do not work?

I am soooooooooooooooo ******!!!!!!!!
I just purched the top of the line MacBook Pro and learned that the Adobe Creative Suite products do not work on this machine. I contacted Adobe and they said they will not have an update until they release the next version, which won't release until (at the earlies) the end of this year. While Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign are not crucial aps for me, I do use them for business regularly.
With this being the case, I ask the mac community using these machines, should I return the computer, buy a g4pb (my TI just literally fell apart) ? Reading the board hear and various news articles, there seems to be a few issues (whine - apps - etc).
I guess I should have looked into this more before purchasing, but I trusted Apple to release products that are ready for users.
This is the most expensive computer I have ever puchased and I need it to do everything my TI PB did.
Is the MacBook Pro worth the early adopter hastle?
(thank god I haven't opened the box yet!)

According to Adobe:
Creative Suite 2 will work on Rosetta with the exception of one componet. Version Cue Workspace (Server) does not work under Rosetta. As of Jan 31 2006 this was the only known issue with using the suite on Intel Mac's.
Adobe Systems
Creative Suite: Yes (with performance losses)
Photoshop Elements: Yes
(Adobe has posted "FAQ: Adobe Support for Intel-based Mac Computers" [intelmacsupport.pdf]
http://www.adobe.com/products/pdfs/intelmacsupport.pdf , which discusses Intel support, development, Rosetta compatibility, rough schedules, and more for Mac applications from Adobe and Macromedia.)
I would recommend that if you are going to use this program that you have 2 GB's of RAM seeing as I hear that Rosetta can be a RAM hog. Hope this helps you out.
