CS PowerPC to CS4 Mac Intel

I'm going to upgrade an iMac G5 with a new iMac Intel processor.
While upgrading iMac i will also ugrade Creative Suite CS Standard (from the iMac G5) to Creative Suite CS4 Design Standard in my new iMac.
How to manage upgrade ?

Not quite sure what you are asking, but here goes.
Just install CS4 on the new Mac and when asked provide the previous version serial number to qualify the upgrade. If you are getting a computer with Snow leopard you may have other issues because of Apples buggy OS but that's another issue.

  • Building InDesign CS4 plug-ins once for both MAC PPC and MAC Intel

    Hi All,
    I would like to know if there is a possibility to build the indesign plugins once for both PPC and Intel on MAC. Right now I'm forced to build my plugins twice: on the PPC machine and on the Intel Machine.
    I tried to build the SDK example Basic Persist Interface on my MAC Intel machine and then i placed it on my MAC PPC and it failed to load.
    is there any configuration I need to specify so the XCode linker will link for both machines?
    I'm using:
    InDesign CS4
    Leopard 10.5.8
    XCode 3.0
    Architectures: i386
    Valid Architectures: ppc67 ppc7400 ppc 970 i386 x86_64 ppc

  • Print job not working on Mac-Intel.

    We're having trouble getting a text field to print on the
    Mac-Intel machines. It prints fine from Windows machines and
    Mac-PowerPC. Any ideas? We just get a black box printed out on
    Mac-Intel but things work fine on the PCs.

    Jao, I tried it but no luck. As John recommended, I also uninstalled Lightroom, deleted the preference file as well as the print templates per your suggestion and reinstalled the latest Lightroom 1.3.1. Still no luck with using the left panel in the Library module.
    One thing I just noticed was that if I open a very small catalog of ~200 images, everything appears to work fine. It looks like a problem with working with my 12,000 image catalog which always worked well before I upgraded my iMac to OS X Leopard. By the way, I've got the preferences setup to always check the integrity of the catalog at the start of every session. Everything is supposedly good.
    Anyhow, thoughts and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I hate the thought of reimporting all my images and losing all my metadata in the process. Thanks.

  • Power pc programs on mac intel

    I can't install power pc programs on my macbook pro, how can do it ?
    Thank you

    If you’re talking about PowerPC software for Mac OS X, then nothing is special or different on the Intel Macs. The Rosetta emulation is transparent.
    If you’re talking about PowerPC software for “Classic” Mac OS (version 9 and earlier), then you’re out of luck. There is no emulation environment for that software on the Intel Macs as there is on PowerPC Mac OS X.

  • 10.4 power Macs Intel Macs

    Hi there
    I was wondering whether that an OS 10.4 disk has two different versions of the OS for Power Macs and Intel Macs or do they use the same disks. I am thinking of getting 10.4 for the beige. Does anyone think that 10.5 will work on beige with a cpu upgrade?

    Disks for 10.4 (and probably later) that shipped with a particular Mac are specific to that model ONLY, and they will be DVDs, not CDs. There is a US$10 exchange program (send in 10.4 DVDs, get back 10.4 CDs) that Apple can cancel at any moment, and requires proof of legitimate Retail purchase through a "normal" retail outlet, not eBay.
    "Full Retail" 10.4 disks are supposed to be universal, and contain separate or universal installers for PowerPC G4, G5, and Intel processors. However -- the license agreement (to which you agree during the installation process) restricts their use to a single computer, unless you pay extra for the "family pack" which allows use on up to 5 in the same household.
    The last version of Mac OS that a beige G3 can run is 10.2 Jaguar. It is not simply a matter of the CPU upgrade. Your Mac requires a ROM that has support for certain features that Mac OS X 10.3 and later depends on. To make it easy to identify which Macs those routine exist in, Apple has simplified the System Requirements documents with phrases like "built-in USB support". It is not the USB support that is required, it is the ROMs that have USB support along with the required OS support routines that is the full requirement.
    If you wish to go out on a limb and try cheater programs, XPostFacto has worked pretty well for many users here for installing 10.3 Tiger on beige G3s. Results with 10.4 have been less predictable.

  • Can I use PowerPC Apps on the Intel iMac?

    Hi guys!
    The reason I am entering the same question on both the G5 and the Intel forum is because many of you may have moved from PowerPC to Intel and have had the same question...
    Will my PowerPC Apps work in the Intel system?
    I've been able to install both my Photoshop CS and Flash 8 on my new Intel Core 2 Duo iMac. They are working ok but when I open "Activity Monitor" and check the memory usage I see most of the processes are showing as Intel but the Photoshop and Flash are showing as PowerPC type.
    I also note that 1GB ram is almost taken, even though I only opened the programs, didn't even open a file.
    Is it ok to keep running these Apps even though they are PowerPC Apps?
    Would they harm the system?
    Is there a workaround, a fix from Adobe, or will I have to buy the newest Photoshop and Flash? As Photoshop CS and Flash 8 are perfect for me... no need to buy the newest version regarding functionalities.
    Thanks for any idea!

    A great response from another Mac user at the Intel forum:
    **Kenichi Watanabe**
    *When you run PowerPC apps on an Intel Mac, a translator called Rosetta is used by the system. This will use more RAM and those apps will not run as fast as their equivalent Universal apps. However, unless your G5 was a Power Mac dual or quad core, an Intel iMac running a PowerPC app (using Rosetta) may be as fast or faster than the G5 running the same app natively.*
    *Will my PowerPC Apps work in the Intel system?*
    *So the answer is YES, most (but not all) PowerPC apps will run on Intel Macs using Rosetta. Increasing your iMac's RAM will improve performance (but that's always true).*
    *Would they harm the system?*
    *NO. Rosetta is a built-in part of the system. Sort of like Classic, but better integrated and more seamless.*
    *Adobe was late in making their apps Universal, but I believe they have completed the transition. The upgrades are not free, unfortunately. If your current versions run fast enough on your Intel iMac, you should keep using them.*
    Again...
    *Thanks both Kenichi and Miriam!*

  • Apple PowerPC G5 with Mac OS X 10.3.9

    I have an Apple PowerPC G5 with Mac OS X 10.3.9 and i am looking to try and put Mac OS X Snow Leopard or above onto it, finding it difficult. Any help? Would prefer to do it via the HD or USB

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Mac OS X Snow Leopard and later OS X versions require an Intel-based Mac, and you have got a PowerPC Mac. This means that you can't use Mac OS X Snow Leopard, having Mac OS X Leopard as the latest version for your PowerMac if it meets Mac OS X Leopard requirements > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP517?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • IPhone no longer can sync with iTunes on Mac Intel Mini

    I have an original iPhone (not 3G). It was working fine until today. Today when I booted my mac mini, Software update said that there was an iTunes update. I downloaded and installed version 8.2 of iTunes. When I connected my iPhone to my mac mini (Intel running 10.4.11), which is what I use to sync my iPhone, iTunes didn't see it. It was as if the iPhone wasn't connected to the mac.
    I thought maybe it was the cable. So, I switched cables. It still didn't sync (or even see the iPhone).
    I have been charging my iPhone using a wall adapter, so I tried both cables with the wall adapter. The iPhone charged just fine using both cables.
    I used the cables and tried to sync my iPod Classic (120GB) with iTunes. I can sync my iPod Classic with iTunes just fine with either cable.
    I have an 17" Powerbook G4 running 10.5.7 and I thought I'd try to see if it could see the iPhone. The Powerbook is running iTunes 8.1.1, I haven't upgraded it yet. I was able to see the iPhone and I could try to sync, but the iPhone isn't sync'ed with that iTunes library so the sync doesn't do anything, but at least the Powerbook sees the iPhone and connects with it (and iTunes sees the iPhone as well).
    I'm upgrading to iTunes 8.2 to see if the Powerbook can still see the iPhone (just seeing if it was the iTunes upgrade that broke the iPhone sync). Well, the upgrade on the powerbook didn't seem to hurt its ability to see the iPhone.
    I'm back at square one. My mac Intel mini running 10.4.11 can't see my iPhone and nothing I do seems to help it see the iPhone, but I can sync my ipod classic using the same cable.
    I'm now wondering if there is something wrong with the iPhone. Has anyone else seen this problem?

    Sometimes a glitch can happen with an itunes upgrade that can cause itunes to no longer recognize your iphone. If you have already tried to restart your computer and tried different usb ports, I would try this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224?viewlocale=en_US
    Hope it helps
    Your only removing the outer software so it shouldn't affect your itunes libraries or files.

  • I tried to download Firefox 4.0 on my Mac Intel running OS 10.6.6. I get a message that it can not download because libsmime3.dylib is open. And now FirFox 3.6 has disappeared. What do i do?

    FireFox can't open lots of files it isn't suposed to. DMG is opened by the Mac osx as a virtual volume file you just drag the FireFox icon to where you want it installed. Check your desktop for a FireFox volume... like a drive. Double click the DMG file if it is not there. This is how Mac works it has nothing to do with FireFox, many apps install this way!

  • InDesign CS4 Mac starts but then freezes

    Indesign CS4 Mac starts up but freezes from there. Trying to open files or create new ones results in the filename appearing at the bottom of the Window drop-down menu, but the file doesnt appear on-screen.
    The same result occurs when opening files using "Open Recent File" as well as double-clicking the file in Finder or using "Open With" in FInder.
    It couldnt have picked a worse time to crap out - right in the middle of an urgent contract!! Dang Cleetus!!
    Any suggestions - apart from re-installing the program?
    Cheers,
    John

    Tried renaming InDesign Saved data and InDesign Defaults and restarting InDesign - that didnt seem to fix the problem -  after re-starting InDesign it seemed the program didnt write new versions of the files on re-start.
    Will head back to the office & connect to my 23" display & see if ID works OK with that - that would confirm that it's a screen pointing issue?
    Would re-installing ID help?
    Cheers,
    John

  • InCopy CS4 (PC) / InDesign CS4 (mac) not working

    My client and I are trying to establish an InCopy CS4 (PC) / InDesign CS4 (Mac) workflow. Neither of us has ever used InCopy and we are all getting frustrated now that our first production cycle has come and gone and the client is not recouping the money they invested on this software. Our trial system was successful for awhile and then it just stopped. The client says she can't open the icma/icml files and they need the indd file. So I send a new batch of files with the indd included and still no luck.
    I'm saving the assigments like I've been saving in our initial trial run. In ID I go to Incopy > Export > Add all Stories to Assignment. That creates the content folder and the .icma files. I zip everything and send it off via email attachment.
    Is there something I am doing wrong? Something my client needs to do? I prefer not to have to send the indd file. Should I have to do that for them to edit in Incopy? I appreciate any advice. Thank you.  Lynn

    Don't zip the files, that won't work.ID/IC is meant to work on a local server w/local staff. For a remote workflow you have to use a special technique.
    After you create the assignment, use the Package for InCopy command in the Assignments panel.That creates an ICAP file that you send to the client.
    When the double-click the ICAP file, it unpacks (it's like a zip file) on their computer and the assignment opens in InCopy. They work on the stories, and when they're done, they use the Return for InDesign command in *their* Assignments panel menu. That creates an IDAP file that they send to you.
    When you open the IDAP file, it unpacks, looks for the INDD file (be sure not to rename or move it in the meantime), and updates the stories w/the editors changes.
    Those are the broad strokes. It's covered more thoroughly in the online help file of both ID and IC ... you *and* your client should read up on it. And I cover it very thoroughly (4 videos ... Chapter 15) in my online Lynda.com tutorial on the CS4 workflow:
    http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourse.aspx?lpk2=651

  • I-Mac Intel Coreduo VS Powermac G5 dualcore

    Please don't get annoyed with my posts but I'm fairly new to Mac platform and I need one computer soon (since my Powerbook is not going to be fast enough).
    Initially I was looking at Powermac 2.0 dualcore but since it's a little difficult to carry around (and I travel alot), I was interested in knowing what you guys have to say about the i-Mac Intel coreduo? For Logic, what is the performance difference between Powermac 2.0 and Intel i-Mac?

    I saw those posts you were refering to. To me it seems like the Intel i-Mac is as fast as a G5 2.0 dualcore and is 5-6 times faster than a Powerbook 1.67. Am I right? Any conclusions?

    We use Pearson PowerSchool in our school district and just got this notice from them:
    We’ve been anticipating an update from Oracle, which would allow us to deploy Oracle 11g on the Mac. The Windows version from Oracle has been available for nearly 2 years; however, there is still no published delivery date from Oracle for a Mac version.
    Complicating matters, the current version of Oracle for the Mac is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.x Snow Leopard, which has been shipping since August 2009. New customers, and existing customers who want to upgrade their hardware, would find new Apple servers are incompatible with the current Oracle database. Oracle has not provided a date by which the current version of the Oracle Mac Database (10gR2) will be certified on Mac OS X 10.6.
    Oracle’s diminishing commitment to the Apple platform has left Pearson with limited options for customers using Mac servers. We do not have a commitment from Oracle for future versions of the database supporting the Mac, and current versions of the Oracle database are incompatible with new hardware running Mac OS X 10.6.
    Therefore, all Mac customers should make plans to replace their Mac database servers with a Windows-based database server (physical or virtual). Pearson will discontinue support for the Mac database server effective December 31, 2010.*
    Should Oracle issue a version of 11g with Mac compatibility, we will evaluate support options for this platform again.
    This is extremely bad news for us as we are a Macintosh district and don't have the resources to support Windows servers. Why is Oracle not supporting Mac OS X? Is there anyone we can complain to or is it just a hopeless cause?
