CS2 run on Intel, Leopard?

I need to keep older versions of InDesign to match clients, but if I upgrade my equipment to an Intel machine running Leopard, will InDesign CS2 run OK on it?

Remember though that unless you use the Migration Assistant to move over to the new machine including existing applications, you have to install the applications in order of their age, that is CS2 first, then CS3, then CS4. As soon as the newer version is installed you won't be able to install the older ones.
You also need to manually open documents to keep them in the right version by dragging them to the right version-icon, or they will open in the newest version.
CS2 works quite OK in Leopard (10.5.6) but as said runs in Rosetta which makes it slower and it also takes up resources from other apps which might cause also other apps to run slower.
Printing from anything in Leopard can be problematic, depending on printer drivers and printer model and if the printer has drivers for Leopard or not.

CS2:: Will CS2 run on intel processors?

Need to upgrade workstation but cannot afford new software.
Need to keep CS2. Will CS2 run on Intel Macs?
In other words, should I get a used G5 or a used MacPro

CS2 will certainly run on Intel Macs, though it runs in Rosetta emulation. This means that it is slower than CS3 - some times a lot slower - especially if you do not have a boat load of RAM. Also, you should stick with Tiger if you run CS2 on an Intel Mac.

Is CS2 compatible with snow leopard 10.6.8

Will CS2 run on Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

CS 1 Works totally fine here on 10.6.8 and Rosetta is a killer feature, very fast and unobtrusive, I generally don't notice speed differences between CS1 (PPC) and CS5.5 (Intel) on the same machine for normal size files. So I have no reason to believe this won't be the case with CS2 as well. With gigantic files 5.5 certainly has the edge as it can use way more memory.
Don't forget to ENABLE rosetta on 10.6. It is no longer ON by default.

CS2 GoLive Install on intel/leopard

Just upgraded to a macpro and I tried to install GoLive from the CS2 disks but....
All I can choose from the flip menu is Selected Components. And GoLive is grayed out.
I can only choose photoshop and Version Cue. I can't even choose
Entire Suite from the flip menu.
I tried coping the app from my old drive but I get the error about something missing from the Library.
I know some people are running GoLive on intel/leopard. Just wondering how.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks
tom

Thank you Tom,
I'll have to call Adobe again and try to de-initialize/authorize my computer again. Wow I'm pretty pissed off with Adobe right now. It seems that WE (The Customers) ARE THE ACTUAL TECH. SUPPORT TEAM for most of the problems associates with these apps.
This is so unbelievable! I'm spending most of my time fixing Apps rather then doing actual work.
I did the same thing and still getting the library error. I've called Adobe and of coarse they say that they don't support CS2 anymore. Can you believe this bull. I have spent thousands of dollars on Adobe products and updates. We all know that CS2 works quite well with OS X 10.5.6 Leopard, because I was using it for many months with no issues than the norm.
Now I can't install CS2 because I upgraded to CS54 from CS3 and before that CS2, and before that... well you know how it goes...
I understand that Adobe is trying to stop Piracy, but do we all have to pay the price for a few bad apples.
Anyway thanks again for you help Tom, I really appreciate your time. Just vending right now.

CS2 Will No Longer Run on Snow Leopard Always Crashes!

Hi, I have been running photoshop CS2 on my new Apple (Snow Leopard 10.6) since March and now for some reason it crashes every time it starts. I can occasionally get it to work, but no one procedure works consistently. Yesterday I turned of my computer and turned it back on and opening PS first and it worked today the same tactic didn't work. Should CS2 work on Snow Leopard? Mine has been working perfectly for more than half a year! Can anybody help?

Hi Chris. I installed it again and yet again the program was identical as if it had never been taken of my computer. The same styles in my styles pallet were still there and the colours I last used were again still in the tool box. I don't get how this can be!
yes it crashed again as usual, I looked for the crash log after the crash, you get the “Problem Report for PS” box and if you click on “show details” there is an absolutely massive piece of text. I have just included the top few lines hope this is helpful.
If Rosseta is crashing, I don't know why it has been fine for about half a year and now suddenly it has decided to crash! Many thanks for your help.

Photoshop CS2 in Mac Snow Leopard: faint, pale colours when printed

I used to use Photoshop CS on my old PPC eMac with OS 10.4.11 (Tiger), and printed succesfully on good quality glossy photo paper using an Epson Stylus Photo R340 printer. I have now upgraded to an Intel Mac mini with OS 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion). I am afraid I cannot afford to buy the latest version of Photoshop, so I have installed Parallels Desktop and, within it, Snow Leopard Server, so that I can run Photoshop CS2.
I have now got the correct driver for my printer and all the printer and paper profiles. Using exactly the same profile and other settings that I used to use with Photoshop CS on my old computer, when I printed a TIFF image, the results were a print with extremely pale, washed-out colours. When I used the 'Preview' feature of the printer software, the colours looked good, but when I printed they were hopeless.
I don't think it is the printer. If I set the Photoshop output to let the printer determine colours, I get quite good results. But when I switch to letting Photoshop determine colours, I get these impossibly pale colours. I have checked through all the preference settings of Photoshop CS2 and cannot find anything that might account for this misbehaviour. I should be most grateful for any help or advice.

Since posting the above, I have made a discovery. I looked up the system requirements of different versions of Photoshop. Here is the relevant part of Adobe's list:
This suggests that CS2 will not run in Snow Leopard (OS 10.6)! But it also suggests that CS will not run in Tiger (10.4), and I used CS succesfully for years in Tiger on my old PPC computer. So what does all this mean? Are these minimum requirements? In that case where can I find the upper limits? Is CS2 supposed to run properly in Snow Leopard?

Photoshop CS2 file corruption with Leopard 10.5.3 update

In addition to the network server corruption issue being experienced by everyone with CS3 and OS X 10.5.3, since Wednesday (and the 10.5.3 update) my CS2 version 9 Photoshop files are turned into corrupted, flattened Mexican rug files when I save to my own G5 pre-Intel hard drive. This is specifically happening when I save files to my hard drive and then shut down the computer minutes later. When I restart minutes later, the files saved just prior to shutdown are flattened and corrupted into a very colorful, horizontally banded Mexican rug. Which would be nice if I was designing Mexican rugs, but I'm not. Files saved during the day with no shutdown appear to be okay.
This has happened twice since Wednesday.
Please note that my Photoshop "save" is completed BEFORE I shut down, by several minutes.
Also, in both cases, an application was hanging and wouldn't force quit, which initiated my shutting down. First it was iTunes, then it was Mail. So I can't figure out if this is Photoshop, iTunes (it wouldn't force quit once), OS X, or a combination. But the only thing I can do is shut down the power.
Does anyone know if this is an Apple thing or an Adobe thing? I wonder if this is one of the "issues for which there is no resolution" that Adobe says can happen using CS2 on Leopard. Or part of the Leopard update. Or both cooperating together.
Anybody have any solutions to this, other than going back to 10.5.2 (or Tiger) ? I've been backing up multiple copies of files at different times of the day in different places. I don't know what else to do. Can't work much longer with corruption over my head. Leopard has been one long big headache.
I have 2.5 GB of RAM, 96 GB of free disk space, NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL.

The problem, as I see it, is; "which comes first - the chicken or the egg?" To explain, I am currently operating on an iMac G5, running OS X 10.3.9...... and I have Adobe Creative Suite 2 Preminum installed on my computer. Okay now my question..or rather questions (plural) are; #1 If I upgrade my operating system to OS X 10.4. (Tiger) is Adobe CS2 (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc) compatible with OS X 10.4?
* Okay let's supposed the answer to #1 is; "yes - it's compatible.....CS2 will run fine on OS X 10.4
#2 Next question - Will Adobe CS2 run (without any problems) if I were to upgrade to OS X 10.5 (Leopard)? I believe, from what I have been reading the answer to this is; "No, Adobe CS2 is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.5". Okay let's say that I would then have to plunk the bucks and upgrade to Adobe CS3. On to the next and final question........
#3 Okay if I were to upgrade my OS to OS X 10.5 what do I upgrade first??? The operating system (which is not compatible with Adobe CS2 or the Adobe CS3 suite (which is not compatible with my present OS (OS 10.3.9)??? I have found nothing at either Adobe or Apple web sites which addresses this specific issue. I guess it's just like people - when your systems and software become outdated, the **** with you.
Like I said; Which comes first - the chicken or the egg?
PS: from what I have read on this thread it appears that people really don't read what someone is saying.....you (LoobyDooby) were taking about CS2 and suddenly everyone else stated taking about CS3. It's like tech support........you ask about "apples" and they tell you that "oranges" are not in season.......huh???

CS2 migration to Intel imac from G4mini

Hello
I know just enough about this migration thing to be dangerous so I wondered if anyone has had success transferring/migrating CS2 from a PPC to Intel imac (mini=Tiger & imac=Leopard) and can help me out. I have read Kappy's instructions & pretty much get it ....but I have sweaty palms about it. All I really want to migrate is Photoshop (could probably find the serial # but don't have a disk). Are there hidden CS2 files other places that I need to be transferring etc. or are all the things that I need to transfer in the CS2 applications folder?
Also, using a firewire connection means needing a special cable with the 2 ends being the same? Sorry if these seem like basic questions. Please advise!
Thanks ahead of time...
Beth

Hi macBeth08 -
Yes, you'll need a 6 pin to 6 pin firewire cable with both ends the same like this one -
http://www.usbcable.com/94-4466.jpg
I must admit when I transferred my G4 Powerbook over to my new iMac I had major problems with CS2. Although I wasn't going from an OS9 version, I had similar error messages to this poster -
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7295227&#7295227
Note on the link above what George Peters says - that CS2 isn't Intel native nor fully supported under Leopard. CS3 runs very well though and your best option would be upgrading to that if you can.
Because I had problems migrating all of my Adobe CS3 apps over, I ended up re-installing them from the original disks and re-entering the serial numbers. Now they run fine.

Running iPhone SDK & Leopard on G4 1.42 emac?

Looking for a cheap entry point to get into developing apps for iphone. I can get the 1.42ghz G4 emac for $200 or G5 PPC 2.0ghz for $775.
I've read that the G4 will run leopard, but havent found anyone running leopard and iphone sdx on the G4. I'd like to try things out first on the G4, but is it going to be so unbearably slow that I'm going to regret taking the cheap way out? Thanks.

Further research has led me believe now that iPhone SDK will only run on Intel based machines. If that is indeed the case, neither machine will work for me.

Imac 20" intel Leopard black screen, does not start up

Imac 20" intel Leopard black screen, does not start up,
yestarday i put my imac aluminium in sleep, when i wake up this morning the computer did not start up from sleep and also did not start up from the power button back, i try several times and nothing, i hear the sound of the start up but i remain with a black screen. What can be the cause? The video , maybe? I did not install any hardware lately on it.
note: i have a wireless keyboard & mouse

Not running Leopard (Panther), but I have a similar problem on my 24" iMac. Computer was working fine last night (I shut it down) and when I went to boot up this morning the computer is stuck on a black screen.
The boot up sound is initiated but nothing after that. The power light stays at full brightness, if I touch the power button the light blinks and then after a while it goes out. A full reset does nothing. I've tried reseting my PRAM, which works because I hear the start up sound twice, but no change to the black screen.
I don't have access to another Mac, would inserting the Startup Disc I received with the computer do anything?

CS2 on iMac Intel?

I currently have a 3-year old G4 Powerbook w/ only 768mb of RAM. I'm looking to upgrade to a more powerful machine that can handle tons of large RAW files. My question is a two-parter:
1) I know Adobe PS CS2 is not universal, but what are the chances of CS2 running smoothly on an Intel iMac w/ 2GB RAM?
2) Depending on the answer of the question above, would it be a better decision to buy a refurb iMac G5 (w/o the Intel) rather than an Intel iMac?
Basically, what is my best Apple computer option for running CS2, Aperture 1.1, and other high powered software on the same system at the fastest speed possible all for under $2,500?

In the interim your could go with a 15" or 17" PowerBook G4, an iMac G5, or Power Mac G5. Adobe CS2 on an Intel at this point will suffer a performance penalty running under Rosseta. Or you can do as earlier suggested, wait until CS3 debuts in 2007.
Apple has said it would be a year to a year and a half before all programs would be Universal Binaries. Running Aperture on a Mac or Intel Mac would be a smooth process since it is already a Universal Binary. The Adobe CS2 would suffer a noticeable performance penalty.
A PowerBook G4 w/120GB HD and 2GB of RAM will NOT be a problem. I am using that configuration right now and have not experienced any problems.
An iMac G5 and a Power Mac G5 have a minimum of 160GB HD's but would surely outperform any Intel Mac at this point because of Rosseta. But for the time being Apple is currently carrying the Power Mac G5 however the cost is twice the amount of an iMac G5 if you can still find one.
If you do your homework you can find a iMac G5 for $1,000 all over the internet. I've found that a iMac G5 is still a HOT item right now specifically because of the programs which run natively on a G5.
The G5 is still in demand and those older, wiser folks blessed with plenty of wisdom have known this all along and have waited patiently waiting for the Intel Macs to catch up.
Hope I helped a bit and GOOD LUCK with your search!

Starcraft won't run in Snow Leopard, need help...

Heya,
So, as many other users have posted across the internet, the original Starcraft and Starcraft Brood Wars don't run in Snow Leopard. I'm wondering if anyone has any leads on patches or solutions currently?
I'm running:
15" Macbook Pro
10.6.2
2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 1067 Mhz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M & NVIDIA GeForce 9400M GT 265MB each.

Thanks for the link!
Though that didn't help resolve my problem it did lead me to the solution.
I realized I was downloading the 1.16.1 patch instead of the OS X Native Installer for Mac. So once I downloaded that, my problem was solved. Though I did install Rosetta (Snow Leopard Disc -> Optional Installations -> Rosetta) but I don't think that was the issue.

Running OS X Leopard 10.5.8, I want to upgrade to OS X Lion, do I have to first update to Snow Leopard?

I have an iMac running OS X Leopard 10.5.8, I want to upgrade to OS X Lion, do I have to first update to Snow Leopard? And is it worth upgrading to Lion or should I wait some time?
Thanks for your time!
-JX

Yes you must first update to Snow Leopard if you plan on installing Lion. Apple is very clear about that in the Lion's Tech Spec's that say:
General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
I like Lion quite a bit and have been using it for several months now. I've found it pretty stable, of course I don't use all of it's features however I really like the additional swipe features however you need a Magic TrackPad to take full advantage of those. However other features like Launchpad I don't have any really appreciation for because I've used OS X for several years now. However if someone is considering their first Mac after using an iPhone, iPad or other IOS device they would appreciate Launchpad.

My app will no longer run under Snow Leopard, runs fine under Lion.

My app will no longer run under Snow Leopard, even though it was originally written for Snow Leopard. It runs fine on my Dev machine under Lion. But when I test it on my Snow Leopard Mac Mini the app starts but the window does not appear. Going to file, new window does nothing. My depolyment target is set to 10.6. Is there something I did to make my app lose Snow Leopard compatiblty?

Does your application use features only available in Lion? Are you getting any console logs?
