CS2 user on Mac OSX 10.8

I just upgraded to OSX 10.8 and now none of my CS2 programs will work. Is there a workaround to get them back up & running until I can upgrade to a newer CS version?

Yes, provided the copy you buy from eBay is not pirated and comes with a valid serial number which will be activated by Adobe.
Being certain that you're buying a legitimate copy of the software from eBay is very difficult based on descriptions and photos alone. There's no easy way to tell.

Install extensions all users silently - Mac OsX

Hello,
In our organization we need to customize Firefox the same way for every single user meaning that from time to time it's needed to add one or more extras for everyone. Every time we need to do this we have to install individually the extra in every user.
What i need is a way to silently deploy the xpi file. The OS from the computers is Mac OsX Yosemite and the firefox version is 36.0.1 (we need to stick to this version).
Thanks in advance,
Gonçalo Catarino

Hey there!
I'm not sure if you are aware, but mozilla makes a version of Firefox just for deploying in enterprises and organizations. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/
I'd suggest checking it out. Also, there is a very helpful mailing list that can assist you with deployment questions.

WRT54G & Mac OSX 10.6

Hello! I work at a church in Texas and we currently have users connected to their internet connection wirelessly, using the Linksys WRT54G wirless router. A number of our users using Mac OSX 10.6 have experienced extremely poor range and usage outages regularly using this connection. Are there any measures that we can take to help their range? Currently they are probably less than 50 feet away from the router, in offices close to and on the same floor as the router. Our machines that use Windows XP do not have the same troubles that OSX 10.6 have with range.

Try to adjust the wireless settings on your router..
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the Wireless tab
- Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

It is now confirmed that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

Which CS Master Suite Products CS2,3,4,5,5.5,6 work with which Mac OSx 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8?

You have no idea what a journey it has been to try to find the answer to all of this. Here is my stab which is open for input.
Which CS Master Suite Products CS2,3,4,5,5.5,6 work with which Mac OSx 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8?
- When I recently installed 10.6 on a 10.5 Macbook Pro with CS2 Master Suite, I lost all access to CS2. End of story. Unhappy ending at that.
- I have CS4 Master Suite on a MacPro using OS 10.6.8, but my understanding is that if I go to 10.7, I lose all access to CS4. Another bad solution.
- Apparently the same is true of CS5 and 5.5. If one goes to 10.7, you will no longer be able to use those programs.
- The only Master Suite that is 10.8 compatible is CS6. New price $2,599, or $999 upgrade from CS5 or 5.5.
32bit vs 64bit
And to look at 32 bit vs 64 bit briefly. My CS4 Master Suite for Mac has two 64 bit programs, Premiere and After Effects. The Windows version of the same program also included Photoshop as 64bit.
- I assume that as CS Suites went from CS4 to 5 to 5.5 and then to CS6, that more and more programs take advantage of the 64 bit architecture. I don't know the specifics however. Would like to know.
- Also the MacOS has done the same. The newer the operating systems, the more the system takes advantage of mulitple processors, ram, and 64 bit architecture. Again, not sure of the sweet spot here.
And then there was the cloud!
Not sure what to do with that information.
- Great, new products updates all the time
     - downside, what if the updates outgrow my computer? Size and technology?
     - What if the updates outgrow my system software?
     - What if I want to open a cs4 document 5 years from now?
          - do I have to subsribe forever?
          - if I have CS6 on my computer, do some work, and want to open it 10 years from now, I still have the software and a computer.
     - Cost of $30 a month on a special, but $50 a month normally. Sounds cheap month to month, but after two years of $50, I have spent $1,200 on a product that I don't own!
Anyway, all of this comes up because I have multiple versions of Master Suite. I have multiple computers with various versions, and it all goes to crap if I upgrade the system software, or Adobe no longer supports the older versions. This is my contribution to the discussion. Apparently Adobe support had no archived articles to answer any of my questions, they suggested I look online. Great help. As I say, I don't much trust Adobe as my business partner anymore. I think I will work my way towards CS6 and see how long that takes me with Apple system upgrades. I'm not sure what OS 10.9, and beyond may bring as it relates to Adobe products, but I do need to get past my old 32bit applications running on an 8 core machine with 32gig of ram.
Which brings up one final point. I have Imac with 4 gig ram, Macbook pro with 8gig of ram, and MacPro with 32 gig ram. Will 4 gig ram run Cloud CS master suite? Its a worm hole that just keeps getting deeper! I have to find a place on that slope that is cost effective and allows me to hold my position for a few years until I can see how Adobe treats its cloud cutomers, and how well Adobe and Apple play together.
If you have any links to addtional information about various CS programs and which are ported to 64 bit, that would be helpful. I read some things about Rosetta and Java being the culprits in various upgrades to CS programs and the new Mac OS systems.
Also, if you have any work arounds to get CS5.5 to run on OS 10.7 or 10.8, curious to hear about those as well. As I understand it, 10.8 no longer includes the previous Java or Rosetta applications, but I was under the impression that they could be installed after.

Long story short: Simply get CC for teams. At 500 bucks a year it's a steal and those 5 licenses in the base package (or was it 10 even?) cover all your computers, at least the 3 ones you mentioned. For system requirements refer to the individual product pages.

Where to install Thunderbird on Mac OSX for multiple users.

Hello,
I would like to install the email program Mozilla Thunderbird on my Mac OSX (10.4.6) computer which is set up with several different user accounts. I am not sure where to install it so that everyone may be able to use it. I would like to install it once so that everyone may use it rather than installing it multiple times (once for each user).
As you might already know, in Mac OSX when you install a program in the main applications folder, it is available for everyone who uses the computer (available to all accounts). However, the trouble is, that although the actual Thunderbird program is available to all users the profile is not. The profile obviously is an important component of the Thunderbird mail program as it contains all the actual mail messages. When Thunderbird is installed, by default the profile folder is placed in the users home Library folder at:
users home folder/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/<Profile name>/
This location make it impossible for other users to access the profile and therefore Thunderbird will not work for the other users.
What should I do?
I have a couple solutions, however I would like to ask for some advice on what others do in this situation which I am sure is fairly common.
Here are my solutions:
1. Move the profile folder to a custom location that is accessible by all users in OSX such as the global Library folder (rather than the user's Library folder). Path of global Library folder:
/library/
Then let Thunderbird know it was moved to this custom location using Thunderbird's profile manager.
2. Try to figure out a way in mac OSX that allows the profile folder at this default location:
users home folder/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/<Profile name>/
to be accessible by all users.
Ownership and permissions need to be changed for the profile folder maybe?
3. Install thunderbird multiple times - once for each user - each with their own profile. The problem with this is then there will be multiple installations of the same program and they will not be able to share the same profile folder - which is what I would like to do - if possible.
I have a feeling that solution 1 is the more logical solution.
PS I am using Mac OS 10.4.6 (Tiger) with Thunderbird 1.5.0.4
Thanks for any advice.

Yup, its me again Always seem to have a question for the group
Thanks Mulder and Scott! I am sure glad I asked for your advice. I am completely new to the multi-user environment of OSX - as you can tell. (I guess I am still in OS9 thinking mode where there was only one user.)
Scott wrote:
"Mail can be configured to download any new email, but not remove it from the server until it is removed from the Mail application. This way, the email can be downloaded to multiple clients across multiple accounts."
Interesting. Thanks for pointing this out Scott. Good to know. This would seem to me to be similar to IMAP in some ways. This would be a good way to work in a multi-user environment. This is good info to be aware of.
It sounds like an interesting way to work.
Thanks to both of you for steering me aware from the difficulty of attempting to place the profile folder outside the home directory. This sounds like it would have been more work than necessary.
Why am I not using Apple's Mail program? Good question. I thought I would try out Thunderbird for a while - and maybe switch to Apple Mail later - just to see which one I prefer. I am a web developer and I have always liked the open source community and I thought it would be beneficial for me to become as familiar as possible with all the Mozilla products (Firefox and Thunderbird). As well, it keeps me somewhat on the same wavelength as my PC friends, of whom many use this program too. I don't want to be too much out of touch with my mac. I might try Mail later. Thunderbird has been great so far. It has excellent spam recognition abilities and you can train it too to detect spam.
Scott the "Family account" idea is an awesome idea. Thanks.
I have learned a lot from this post. This gives me a few logical solutions. As Mulder points out it is best to keep users' profiles separate. This makes it simpler. Excellent advice. I could still install the Thunderbird application in the global application folder and then each user account can open this Thunderbird application from their own account and configure the mail client with their own profile. All users will be using the same Thunderbird application but with their own profiles. Yes, thats it. I tried this out and it seems to work now - didn't seem to work earlier because I didn't know what I was doing
Another idea could be, if I really need to share one single profile, would be to follow Scotts advice and just set up a "Family account". Very simple solution. Nice idea.
So, those are the two top solutions.
Furthermore, I could use a mix of both strategies. For mail accounts that could be shared ([email protected]) I could create a "Family account" in OSX, as Scott detailed above, and then for mail accounts that are for each individual user ([email protected]), I could be sure they have separate profiles as detailed in Mulder's post.
Thanks for all these helpful ideas!

Mac OSX Lion Server Network User Login Issue

We have in the office a server running Mac OSX Lion, and several network users who've all been running happily for quite a will.
About a month ago I was added to the system, and initially we had a few issues relating to the home directory, but we changed 'something' and it all worked.
Fast forward to now, and we've added a new user - Hannah - to our system.
I've added her in the Workgroup Manager, and set her up everywhere I can find on the server. Her home directory creates on the server fine.
She appears in the Logon list on the client machines, and here's where the trouble starts...
Every time she tries to log on, it fails. The logon box just bounces or wobbles as though the password is incorrect. We've tried changing the password, to no avail. We've tried adding new test users - same problem.
We've tried sudo kinet on the Terminal as a local user, with variable results.
I'm at my wits end, and really hoping someone here can help offer some suggestions or advice we can work through to get to the bottom of this.
Thanks in advance!

Your problems are likely occurring because you added her to the directory with Workgroup Manager.
You should really start avoiding WGM when at all possible as Apple is clearly moving away from it. Because of this, things don't always work as expected when using 'legacy' tools like WGM.
My guess as to what your problem is: When you create a new user in Server.app, two things happen for you automatically that WILL NOT HAPPEN if done from WGM.
First the user is added to the default "Workgroup" group.
More importantly (and the source of much confusion), the user is automatically added to SACLs.
Check the SACL for the user in Server.app, I bet you'll notice that they aren't a member of the File Sharing group like they should be. To solve this problem, you can either delete the user and recreate them in Server.app, or manually add them to the appropriate SACL.
I would opt for recreating them in Server.app if I were you, as I don't trust user accounts that originate in WGM on Lion Server.

Can not install photoshop CS2 on Mac OSX. 10.9.5, It shows "error" no error number, suggest to contact the software supplier, only choice is to quit.

I tried to install Photoshop CS2 on Mac, OSX, 10.9.5.
By the end of the installation, it shows, error, but no error number for reference,
The only choice is "quit".
Please help

That is correct Das_Sad. CS2 will not run on Intel based processors under Mac OS. You will need to find a Mac computer with a PowerPC processor if you wish to run Creative Suite 2.

Where is button to accept end user agreement so I can download or read online file. mac osx reader XI

where is button to accept end user agreement so I can download or read online file. mac osx reader XI
every time i click on a file to downloac
i get a reader message Before viewing PDF ... you must launch adobe reader and then accept the End User License Agreement. Ive searched every part of the menu for this and cant fine it

Ok, so the Reader app works. Fine, but why did you say ",the reader won't open any more", that led us a confusing direction.
Ok, the problem is most likely caused because you downloaded Acrobat Pro, which takes over from Reader, then got rid of it. You now have part of Acrobat in Safari, not part of Adobe Reader.
There are two things to try to fix this. The first and easiest is to download and install Adobe Reader again. That should puts its stuff back in Safari with a bit of luck.
Important note for others following this thread. Downloading Adobe Reader is not going to help you if you have not understood and followed the instructions to "launch" Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat). Make sure you understand what "launch" means before downloading anything again.

User Uploaded Image won't display on Mac OSX

I am experiencing something very strange with user uploaded
images on Mac OSX, latest Debug Flash Player 9, Safari and Firefox
2. Everything works fine on Windows (XP and Vista) on all major
browsers.
A user selects a local image to upload. The file gets
uploaded to server, resampled, saved to a public location, and a
response is sent back to the Flash Player in the form of a JSON
object. The response contains the URL to the uploaded image on the
server. The Flash Player downloads the image and adds the Loader to
a sprite that is already on the stage. All appropriate events are
fired. The progress events show that the image is downloading, and
the complete and init events are both fired. Using the Charles Web
debugging Proxy I can verify that everything is working correctly
(upload and download), and no security violations are occuring.
Charles even shows the actual image that gets downloaded. However,
on Mac, the image doesn't display (stays blank, as if it's an empty
sprite), whereas on PC/Windows the image displays fine.
I have placed a crossdomain file in the appropriate location
- even though it is never requested as I don't try to do anything
with the image's bitmap data.
Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to create a new project
to test this out in, but will do as soon as I can, and post a link.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Shaun.

We had a similar problem, maybe it is related to this (it was
done in as2, but the real problem was outside flash)
flash took an enormous time to display thumbs for a gallery
of images.. and directly in ff on osx, the thumb (about 100x100 px)
would load only half way.. and again wait for about half a minute
or more.. and then display. In flash the thumb would remain blank
until the loading was over.. that is for about half a minute or
more.
What this turned out to be, was that the php script on the
server somehow returned header information that the image had the
dimensions of the full-sized image. So after all the data for the
thumb downloaded, the client (browser or flash) would just wait
until a predefined timeout..
Since you are resizing uploaded images I thought this could
be one of the possible reasons, maybe the flash player for osx and
for windows handle such "missing data" cases differently.

Mac OSX 10.8 user on Windows Network

We recently set up a Mac OSX 10.8.2 user on our Windows Server network at our business and have noticed that he has access to all of the server folders on the network no matter the permissions set. How are we able to set the same permissions to the Mac user that the PC users live by? We restrict many of the server folders to certain users.
Help is greatly appreciated as we have been unable to figure a solution.

How is the Mac user connecting to the Windows server? Via Finder by typing in smb://your.server.domain? If the Mac user tries connecting from a Windows machine, does his user have the correct permissions?

When there will be an update to CS6 softwares for MAC users on Lion OsX 10.7.4 ?

Many users of the CS6 softwares complain about issues since their upgrade to CS6 with MAc OsX Lion 10.7.4 . For my part, I lost the use of my internal speaker and all videos in YouTube are soundless and freeze at 12 seconds. iTunes doesn't playback my mp3 but in Premiere, I 've got sound. I can't even adjust the volume of my speakers.

I have been running Lion (currently 10.7.4) for many months on an iMac and a MacBook Pro. In fact, Lion is about to be upgraded to Mountain Lion.
I have had no attributable problems when heavily running InDesign CS6, Illustrator CS6, Photoshop CS6 and other CS6 applications occasionallly.
Loss of internal speakers and ability to play YouTube videos may be Lion issues for you but it has nothing to do with Adobe. You might ask about those issues on the Apple Community Forums, or by visiting the Genius Bar at an Apple store.

List all users/groups in Contacts App with Mac OSX 10.9 Server

I have installed Mac OSX 10.9 Server locally, and I am trying to set it up so that when a user opens Contacts, and goes to Directory Service it will list all of the users and groups (that have a mailing list) on the server. However, it will only show the users if they are searched for. Otherwise, it is blank.

As the error says - you need to fix the permissions on your preferences folder, and it sounds like you may be missing part of the Application Support folders or have a permissions problem there as well.
It sounds like something weird happened to your system that messed up permissions -- we see that happen often when people try to use Apple's migrate utilities between systems or disks (it doesn't copy everything, and messes up permissions). Fixing permissions with Disk Utility can help, but you may need to reinstall Photoshop to replace missing files/folders, and you'll still have to fix the permissions on your preferences folder.

Trouble reading user input in Mac OSX

Hi, I am writing a program in Java (1.5) for Mac OSX that requires the user to setup files and settings, then a new frame opens with a blank screen and waits for user input (a key press) to begin. I have a setup screen that works fine (seperate frame) and triggers the blank screen and the rest of the program fine as well. The problem is when I try to have the program pause for user input. For some reason, this thread is no longer responding to user input at all. I have tried with a KeyListener Interface and with System.in.read() as well as BufferedReaders, etc and there are no keypresses registered at all.
Another object does create a seperate thread to deal with closing down Quicktime elements, but the keypresses are not registering even when that thread has not been called.
Can anyone tell me what might be the problem? Is there an issue with multiple frames interfering with the KeyListener? I can post the code, if you'd like, but it's pretty involved.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Heidi

Actually, this still isn't working. I'm posting the program class (there are several supporting classes that are not in this post - SetUp opens a SetUp frame and gathers information, then calls MTSNewSwing. Start movie places a Quicktime Component into a Panel, and QTSessionCheck starts a thread that check to make sure that QT sessions are closed when neccessary). KeyPresses are stll not being registered at all.

New to Mac OSX and I want to be a power user

I hope this doesn't sound wrong but I'm a lifetime Windows user and I got my y. Mac Book about a month ago and I'm still learning but I feel like I'm doing the long way for certain actions and I'm sure there are shortcuts. I used to know Windows backwards and forwards and I feel like I'm doing everything the slow idiot way. Like for example switching windows in Chrome I hit F3 and select the Window. There's gotta be a faster way. and is there a redo and undo for numbers? a shortcut. I want to be a power user for mac and I can't find anything. I mean do I have to buy a book and learn that way?

I suspect you are going to get in trouble using Windows Network share to backup your Mac data.
The two main options for backing up your data on the Mac is to use Time Machine and a clone backup. Just like a seat belt and an air bag protect you in different ways when driving, you need both Time Machine and a clone for full protection.
Format the external drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - Partition Map Scheme: GUID
If a drive is not GUID, it's not bootable.
Both of these applications can be used to create a clone.

DropBox is a good option to share files on both Macs and PCs.
To get you started, be careful about how a drive is formatted.
Format that drive with Mac Extended (Journaled) with a Partition Table of GUID or format it exFAT.
exFAT if you plan on using that external on both Mac and Windows computers. Mac Extended (Journaled) if it will only be used on Mac computers.
If you format it exFAT do that on a Windows computer as Mac screws up the formatting and it then can't be read on Windows computers. Doing it on a Windows computer it can be read and written to on both Win and Mac.
A FAT32 formatted drive you can't store any file that is larger then 4GB (actually you can't store/save any file that is 4GBs. It has to be Slightly smaller then 4GB).
