CS2 on Leopard?

I've upgraded to OS X 10.5.6. Will CS2 run on Leopard?
Pleeease don't say, "try it and find out." I'm having to do this on a new internal hard drive after Bad Things happened to my old startup disk, so I'll need to deactivate CS2 on the old disk before I can activate it on the new one. I don't want to be left hanging in limbo.

What computer are you using?
if its one that will run Tiger stay with Tiger. CS2 is not supported in Leopard. It works for some and not for others. If you are using a Macintel it will run in Rosetta which is PowerPC emulation. This will add another level of frustration and problems.
If you are set on using Leopard it would be best to upgrade to CS4 If you do it now you will miss the tiered pricing that will soon be implemented save yourself $200

  • Camera raw CS2 and Leopard

    I have been using CS2 with Leopard.I upgraded from CS online with a download to CS2. My hard drive crashed. I was sent a link via email thru Adobe to download CS2 again. When I downloaded/installed the program, when opening Bridge the message I got was"The Application could not load Adobe Camera Raw. Use the Adobe Bridge Installer to install the adobe camera raw plug-in. I have 3.7 in the place that Ramo'n mentioned and no where else. What am I doing wrong can it work with out having to go to a lower Operating system?

    That error message is incomprehensible. There is no independent "Bridge Installer" and Bridge has absolutely nothing to do with installing the Camera Raw plug.in.
    I can't begin to imagine what would generate such a message error, ever.
    I hope someone from the ACR Team responds to your post in this forum. The creator of both Photoshop and Camera Raw, Thomas Knoll, and one of the ACR Engineers, Eric Chan, are very active here, as is Jeff Schewe, who wrote THE book on Camera Raw.
    I'm sure no one is ignoring you here, but, as I told you earlier, CS2 is not supported under Leopard. Basically, it it runs fine, if it doesn't, too bad.

  • Adobe CS2 in Leopard

    When opening the installer, no destination disk appears.
    I know many users work with CS2 in Leopard without a glitch.
    Any idea ?

    I'm using Adobe Photohsop CS1 and it is working. There are a couple of little glitches, but nothing major. And whenever there is a major system upgrade you can ALWAYS figure there are some things that are going to break, which is why it is a good plan to install a new system on a new drive or second partition. AFAIK the things that don't work and will never work are Photoshop 7 and Elements 2.

    Hi,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open CS2.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 with Leopard?

    Has anyone got experiences with Photoshop CS2 and or InDesign 2.0 and Leopard?
    I know, if problems occur there will be no help from Adobe, but how bad might the problems be?
    Any experiences or advices?

    I just started running into a new problem while trying to resize fonts in Photoshop CS2. When manually scaling up or down outside of the given size list (6, 8, 9, 10, etc.), the number input field seems to get a little confused and disregards your request. When hitting Enter, it applies a space. Sometimes if I click off and then back onto the input field, and then type my number in it will work about 50% of the time.
    Oh yeah, and Photoshop simply crashes from time to time. It doesn't recall having the particular file open that you were just working on, so you essentially never really worked on it. At this point I'm just going to assume this is acceptable program behavior to both Adobe and Apple.

  • Photoshop CS2 and Leopard

    I recently upgraded to 10.5 (now 10.5.7), and I have the CS2 Creative Suite. My Illiustrator seems to work fine, but my Photoshop will not open. Any patches or solutions? I can fine CS3 help on Adobe.com, but none for CS2 regarding Illustrator.

    CS2 is not supported in Leopard and never will be.
    There are no patches, there will never be any patches.
    CS2 is running in Rosetta another level of problems. Its time to upgrade.

  • CS2 with Leopard?

    I just received my new shiny 24" iMac to replace my old 20" one.
    I have been running CS2.
    I understand that CS2 will not run on the new Mac OS, is that right?
    I hate to have to go buy new software to do photo editing.  I use nothing in the CS2 suite other than Photoshop.
    Hasn't Apple upgraded the OS yet so it works with older adobe products, like CS?>
    Or vice-versa - hasn't Adobe upgraded their still used products like CS2 so it can operate on a new version of OS X?
    I think it's been over a year now; more than enough time.
    I do not want to pay for the full CS4 at this time.  I am thinknig of doing Photoshop Elements instead. What Photo Editing tools will I be missing in Elements that I'll have in PS? I won't be doing video, 3D, sound.

    Your Milage may Vary and it depends a lot on what use you put photoshop to, but I've found that photoshop CS2 and Illustrator CS2 both run well enough for my purposes on my top of the range shiny new imac running the latest and greatest version of Leopard - using a Firewire 800 drive as a scratch disk, it copes perfectly well with the 8mb 20D RAW files I edit on it (and it's actually snappier for lots of purposes than the old G5 imac).
    I'd point out that those bench tests linked to were with the 2006 models where the intels had similar amounts of memory and processing power to the G5/G4 units they were replacing. Now with 4Gb of memeory as standard and dual core intels (and with the top of the range imacs, reasonable graphics cards) things are a bit different running Rosetta - many of the old applications that aren't intel native run much better than I expected. (I've been using the new imac for over a month now so I've had plenty of experience)
    My advice woud be to install CS2 and see how it goes for your uses. If it isn't fast enough then either upgrade or try Elements.  It's the pen tool and the ease of layer masking I'd miss in Elements - there are work arounds but they get cumbersome. (you could always use Elements for the stuff that can be slower like running filters and drop back to CS2 for things like the pen tool)

  • GoLive CS2 and Leopard 10.5.5

    Is anybody running Leopard 10.5.5 on a Mac Pro and using GoLive CS2?
    I have to upgrade to Leopard and would like some feedback if there is any issues.
    Thanks,

    There might be problems installing it though if you already have CS3 installed. General rule for other Adobe apps is that if you have CS3 installed and want to install CS2 apps you first need to de-activate and de-install CS3, then install CS2, then re-install cs3. my CS2 was already on the machine when CS3 came around and later Leopard, so am unsure if that implies for GoLive CS2 as well. It might as the adobe apps use some common files which can complicate installations.

  • CS2 and Leopard. Place image crashes program

    I installed Leopard (latest updates) yesterday. Everything is playing nice except IDCS2 that crashes when I try to place an image into an existing CS2 doc..
    So many of my clients are only CS2 compatible, so must work on their docs in CS2.
    I accidentally posted this in another thread. Apologizing in advance.

    Thanks all for the messages of doom ;-)
    Trashed ID 4 prefs and now all is well.
    Did clone my Tiger system just in case, but switch has so far been very good.
    I did an archive and install, and made sure to run repair disk and permissions before installing new system.
    Machine runs faster, even GoLive (CS2, not 9) is faster. Benefits have so far outweighed any negatives. Only had piddly stuff that was easy to fix.
    Of course ID4 on Leopard is unsupported by Adobe. That would have been a given. LOL

  • How to install CS2 onto leopard?

    I have CS2 and want to install it onto my mac which runs leopard. When I try to install with the install discs I get stuck because I can't actually find the install on the disc. I have read people's posts saying CS2 has some glitches with leopard, but would love some help.
    1) How do I get the CS2 onto my mac?
    2) If I absolutely need to upgrade to CS3 or CS4, how do I do this if I don't have CS2 on my mac first?
    Cheers for the help

    As you already know, it's unsupported and if it's an Intel Mac that compounds any problems, but it sounds like the disk may be bad.
    You should be aware that the CS2 to CS4 upgrade price will increase by $200. later this week. And you don't need to have CS2 installed in order to install the upgrade but you should have the disks and serial number handy.

  • CS2 Snow Leopard compatibility?

    I've searched without success whether Photoshop CS2 will run with Snow Leopard.
    I'm on an iMac 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3 GB installed memory.
    Thanks for your input.

    Duane, nice to hear that your CS2 is working.
    Your info is coming out a little at a time.
    Did your computer come with Snow Leopard, if yes, you  will not be 
    able to load Leopard unless you buy a retail copy.
    However, if you don''t use the fonts that are affected then you can 
    stay the way you are.
    I also use Quark.
    I went back to Leopard because SL created conflicts with Helvetica, 
    Helvetica Neue, Futura and other fonts.
    Out of 32 weights of Helvetica Neue, I could only use 10 weights.
    I lost the use of all my condensed faces.
    Snow Leopard creates conflicts with a number of fonts.
    Check these links.

    You should also do a search for SL font conflicts for additional info.

  • Best Way to Remove CS2 from Leopard?

    Brief History
    I run a MBP with 10.5.6.  I just purchased CS4 so CS2 has to go. I've read about the incompatibility between 10.5 and CS2 but have never had any trouble until I tried to remove CS2.  I followed the removal instructions on the CD but ran into all kinds of permissions damage and most of my remaining programs crashed on launch.  I've restored my drive to the point where CS2 is intact but deactivated. All other applications are running fine.
    Question
    Since the "Removal" programs resulted in a corrupted system and required a complete drive restore, how should I remove the most of CS2 short of dumping all the application folders into the Trash and leaving all sorts of remnants in my OS?  I'd prefer to remove all as "clean" as possible.
    TIA

    to remove CS2
    put in trash
    Delete.
    Only Acrobat needs to use the uninstaller.
