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.

When will we get a fix for the Snow Leopard Compatibility issue??

When will we get a fix for the Snow Leopard Compatibility issue?
I am growing impatient not being able to use cross dissolve or titles.
Its going to be a pain having to back out to OS 10.5. This is beginning to be like Windows Vista.

You don't say what "..Snow Leopard Compatibility issue.." you're having.
My titles and Dissolves - and everything else - work perfectly with iMovie HD 6 and with iMovie '09 in Snow Leopard.
Perhaps you need to revert to QuickTime 7 ..just in case you over-wrote QT 7 with Snow Leopard's own QuickTime X when you upgraded to SL.
QT7 and QT X both sit happily alongside each other in Snow Leopard ..you might want to give that a try.
But I have no problem with any aspect of iMHD6 nor iM09 (..and no trouble with "stills"..) using Snow Leopard on a "late '08" MacBook Pro.
I haven't yet installed SL (Family Pack) on my Mac Mini ..I'll let SL throw away my QT7 on that, and will see if that causes any problems with iMovie. If it does, I'll then download and re-install QT7 and see if that fixes any problems. But don't hold your breath ..I may report back tomorrow, but today I'm pretty busy! I'll do my best, though..

Need help with Snow Leopard compatibility issue

We have a new iMac in (with Snow Leopard) and have loaded all our programs. Due to budgets, we have not made the jump to CS4 and are still on CS3 (waiting for 5). We work in an InDesign/InCopy workflow.
In launching InDesign on the MAc with Snow Leopard, we have noticed that the assignment folders are nonexistant and within the program you can't even open an assignment window. When you reopen on a system without Snow Leopard, the individual assignments are there, but the program states it can't find the main assignment, so it's cancelling out the assignments if opened on the Snow Leopard unit.
Does anyone have any info on compatibility issues with Indesign CS3 and Snow Leopard? My tech guy found nothing on this before we ordered the new system.

First things first. CS5 was announced today and preorders are being accepted.
I believe if you upgrade to CS4 you'll get a free copy of CS5. This is important because if you're upgrading a suite, tiered pricing makes CS3 to CS4 $200 less than waiting til CS5 comes out.
That out of the way, is everyone fully patched to CS3 5.0.4? Is Snow Leopard fully updated to 10.6.3? Do you have full read/write permission on the server?

Snow Leopard compatibility ?

I have a Macbook which is about 3-4 years old which has OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a) as the operating system and want to know if I can download the Snow Leopard update

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
B. Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)

Snow Leopard & Compatibility with ATO (Australian Tax Office) CSI applicati

Since installing Snow Leopard on my Mac PRO I have not been able to access CSI and the Business Portal. Have updated to latest version from ATO website but the Business Portal does not recognise the CSI program as present on the computer. Any experience?

Snow Leopard 10.6 & Compatibility with ATO (Australian Tax Office)
ECI V 5.2.0 and CSI V 3.1.19 Using Java 1.6.0_17 required for ATO dealing have 3 issues, the summary below supply the solutions working as at 14 jan 2010.
Newer release version will fix the issues but in the meantime if you need to set up a new computer with OS 10.6.2 . I have summarised the issues and the solutions which I have sourced from online apple discussion and directly from many phone call to ATO support.
Please note: You will need either a new Digital certificate from the ATO with a new password unless or you can export your current Digital certificate from your old computer and you know your current ATO password.
To export existing valid Digital Certificate, Launch CSI certificate manager from within ECI on your old computer select the certificate in the list click the Export button and save it to our desktop, use the default format CSI Store Files (.csistore)
Then copy the file to the Desktop of the new computer running 10.6.x
Next you need to Download ECI and CSI from ATO
http://eci.ato.gov.au/release/eciclient.dmg
http://csi.business.gov.au/Pages/default.aspx
Install first ECI, then CSI
- Using 10.6.2 on a new computer with a Fresh Install (all new) but importing current sDig Certificate. I have encountered 3 issues as 14 Jan 2010 which are:
1) ECI and CSI cannot launch see Solution (A) posted posted by Bruce Linn on Apple discussion, many thanks to him.
2) After resolving issue 1, CSI open and import the Digital certificate but it is not visible, therefore it is not imported, because in fact the csi folder is Write Protected and need to be trashed. See Solution (B) supplied over the phone by ATO support level 2
3 After fixing 1 and 2 , when I import a BAS document from the ATO, when I go to the in Tray and sect the document and click open I get an error message :
Error - BT E103 The XML for the form being opened is invalid. Further details: Content is not allowed in prolog...
See Solution (C) emailed by ATO support level 1
Why the ATO is not posting the solution online saving us to pain of the manyy calls and wait for known issue, this is poor communication and a waste of productivity for all tax payers .
+ A) Solution
1. Uninstall your current CSI installation by going to MacHD > Applications > CSI and choosing Uninstall CSI.
NOTE:- If you are prompted to download and install Rosetta, please do so as it is an application that allows "legacy" applications to work under the 64-bit environment of the Snow Leopard Operating System. It is on your Original 10.6 Install DVD
Supply your computer Administrator password to authenticate action and follow instructions on screen.
2. Once CSI is removed, please use your browser to navigate to the following website: http://csi.business.gov.au
3. Download and save the Macintosh installation of CSI to your Desktop.
4. Locate the CSIINSTALL.DMG file on your Desktop and double-click on it.
5. Run the CSI installer package, which will install many of the CSI components to your system.

Snow Leopard Compatability of Third Party SW Question

I'm considering getting Snow Leopard OSX 10.6
However I do use the applejack cleanup utility and Disk Warrior a lot to maintain my system.
Can anyone tell me if these third party SW tools are compatible with Snow Leopard if they work OK with 10.5 Leopard?
Does anyone have a list of things that DON'T work with 10.6 Snow leopard?
Thanks,

Leopard + Snow Leopard compatibility

I am thinking of installing snow Leopard on my macbook pro.
I am successfully working (other than the few known bugs), with logic 9 songs alternating from my macbook pro and my older G5 (songs stored on an external lacie).
Seeing that I can only install snow leopard on my intel macbook, will I still be able to work on my songs on the older mac (G5 Leopard), once they've been saved in snow Leopard.
Any thoughts or experiences appreciated.

It doesn't matter under which OSX you save your Logic projects, Logic 9 projects saved under Snow Leopard will also open on a PPC machine running Tiger.

Image Capture, twain sane interface, and Snow Leopard compatibility?

I have downloaded and installed Mattius Ellert's twain sane interface in order to be able to use an old scanner. In order to use it with Image Capture, Ellert's FAQ page describes a procedure for selecting the twain sane interface GUI over the native GUI. However this procedure fails in Snow Leopard; I seem to have no choice but to run the native GUI, with extremely limited functionality. The twain sane interface GUI is still there and still works; it is what comes up if I scan from Microsoft Word or Graphic Convertor. But I would like it to work with Image Capture and related Apple software (preview and the print/fax control panel). Does anyone know of a procedure to do so?
Also does anyone know where this GUI actually lives on the computer? I examined the installed file locations specified in twain-sane interface's bom file, and just found a bunch of .strings and plist files in Image Capture/TWAIN Data Source/Sane.ds/Contents/Resources, plus one file under ....Sne.ds/Contents/MacOS called SANE.

Ronald,
The reason you are not seeing this device in Image Capture after installing the TWAIN/SANE stuff is because Apple removed the TWAIN interfaces from Image Capture in Snow Leopard. TWAIN is being deprecated on the Mac. What someone needs to do is develop an ICA/SANE bridge and then Image Capture would work again.
Just trying to help.

Any compatibility issues for Oracle Client 10.2.0.4.0 and Snow Leopard?

Now that Snow Leopard is out and in fact in my hands, are there any known compatibility issues relative to the Oracle client software that is available from:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10204macsoft.html
Thanks.
BTW, it might be worthwhile to know about the following web site:
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
and for someone from Oracle to post an appropriate listing there as that site is becoming known as a central resource for such queries.
Marc

Guys,
I appreciate all of your replies, but:
1. Just to be clear, I am talking about running the CLIENT (SQL*Plus) on Snow Leopard, which will connect to Oracle 11g, which is running on RHEL 5. I don't care in the least as to whether or not Oracle 11g will run on Snow Leopard. Today, I run the CLIENT on Leopard from the CLI and can connect to 11g on RHEL 5 just fine. I use the Actual Technologies ODBC driver (http://www.actualtechnologies.com/product_oracle.php) for queries in other applications and I have a similar query regarding Snow Leopard compatibility into them.
2. @damorgan: Are you telling me that the client software that I can download from Oracle here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10204macsoft.html
was written by Oracle and certified by Apple to run on Leopard (10.5)? I am curious, because today, it was Microsoft and not Apple that put forth the statement that Office 2008 is fine on Snow Leopard:
http://www.officeformac.com/blog/Ready-for-Snow-Leopard
Are you suggesting, as a parallel, that Apple did the certification of Office 2008 for Snow Leopard, not Microsoft? Or that Apple and not Cisco, will certify that Cisco's VPN client will work on Snow Leopard?
Thanks,
Marc

Can I run Tiger and Snow leopard on a new macbook pro 15"

Hi
I have a Macbook running Tiger, soon to be replaced (I hope) by a
15" Macbook Pro Sno Leopard. Can I partition the drive on the MBP to run
Tiger also, as I have Adobe Creative Suite 2 and can't afford to upgrade that too. And I really don't want to run to computers.
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Snow Leopard will run CS2 with some limitations.
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/start
Either find a Mac older than October 26, 2007 you can use until you can bring all your software to Snow Leopard compatibility from these sites*:
http://www.macmaps.com/usedrefurbished.html
Or find an alternative application for the functions you need from the first link that is Snow Leopard compatible if you can use that.

Upgrading from OS 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard

Hello, I've heard mixed reviews from people at the Apple store to people on the street whether it's possible to upgrade directly from 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard. Below are my specs, and I'd love to hear a second opinion from someone!
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B08
SMC Version: 1.7f10

You should be able to upgrade the OS X to Snow Leopard with the less costly upgrade DVD
from Apple; that won't give you the newer iLife, or iWorks, but it would be a full install disc.
The computer should see an upgrade in RAM, too; 2GB probably is minimal, and this can be
a concern if you also have a jam-packed hard disk drive and no working free space for the
system or applications to use the OS X's automatic Virtual Memory, based on available space.
An upgrade from Tiger 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard will invite issues and problems from third-party
applications not written to run in the later OS X version; you may have to buy/upgrade them, too.

Anyway, the upgrade by itself on a new or 'secure erased' HDD may work just fine.
The hardware upgrade suggested (RAM, larger hard disk drive) would help. Also,
if there are any pending Firmware updates available, be sure to install them, too.
Good luck & happy computing!

Expresscard 34 e-sata + Snow Leopard+My book

Expresscard 34 e-sata+Snow Leopard+My book...anyone know of a express card that is working in the configuation? Thanks!

I just bought my first express card for eSATA and nothing happens when I install it.
Hi,
If you are looking for an eSATA ExpressCard for the MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard compatibility check out the FirmTek SeriTek/2SM2-E.

GoLive 7.0.2 vs. Snow Leopard

I am currently managing a big website using GoLive version 7.0.2 (from Adobe CS).
Can anybody take an educated guess as to whether or not my near-future update to Snow Leopard will render this software inoperable?
PS: Not updating my current iMac -- getting a new one soon.
Thanks.

As for those two pieces of software...the 'net is lousy with compatibility lists.

If something isn't compatible with SL now, look to the app's authors for updates to satisfy it, not Apple.

Dreamweaver wont boot after Snow Leopard upgrade

Upgraded 5yr old MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard. Now Dream Weaver won't boot at all. Do I have to upgrade to a new version of Dream Weaver?

I'd check one of the Snow Leopard compatibility lists such as this one:
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
to see whether your version is compatible. If it's not, then you'll have to upgrade.

Macbook Pro with snow leopard pre-installed

Does anyone know when the retail apple store locations will have the 13inch MBP pre-installed with snow leopard? i called up the local apple stores in my area and they still dont have these yet, maybe they need to get rid of old stock? i understand that snow leopard comes pre-installed when purchased online but i dont want to do that.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you sure? You realize if you ever find a software title that is not Snow Leopard compatible, but is with older versions of Mac OS X, and you buy a Mac with Snow Leopard prebundled, there likely will be no way of going back to Leopard or earlier. This has been the case with all new Macs once they come prebundled with a new operating system.
Unless you are 100% certain of Snow Leopard compatibility, I would be happy to have this reprieve.
