CS5 won't work on Intel Mac.

Hello,
I am a first time poster on the forum. I just purchased the CS5 update after carefully reading the system requirments and updating my OS to 10.5.8 as required. I am using a Mac G5 with an Intel dual core processor. The CS5 update gives me an error code 6 everytime I try to install it and it locks up when I try to use the type tool and other features. I have spent many hours with Adobe tech support with no solution. Now they tell me that I cannot install it on a G5 . Has anyone else had this issue? Am I stuck with a $200.00 loss ($400 with the os update) ? They should state this issue in the system requirements!
Thanks,
Charles

You just installed CS5 and DPP on top of a clean OS install. (not a clone from another machine) Did you run software update for OsX and for Photoshop?
No third party fonts, no plug-ins, nothing else?

Did they remotely connect to your machine?

Ack! AU plugins won't work on Intel Macs!

I know this is already known, but does anyone know what to do about the fact that all our old AUs won't work on Intel Macs? I just got a new mini and wanted to use the good old C3 compressor and it wasn't there, even though I had installed it in the usual place.
I'm not even gonna bother trying to add Guitar Rig 2 until I hear that it works.
Any news on new ports of C3? Or any new Intel-compatible AUs?

Hi chris,
You need to check all the sites where you got your plugins to see if they are Intel ready (most should be in the next couple of months).
Check out this thread for a bunch of free plugs too (some of wich are Intel Compatible). Thanks go to Warrior Ant for the VAST majority of these posts.

Which software won't work on Intel Macs?

Hi,
I wonder if you would know of a list of program versions and compatibillity with the new Intel based Macs.
Thanks in advance!

Anything that needs to run under classic won't run.
I had to upgrade or drop the main apps a long time ago due to the peripheric support issues in Classic. However, even if I have not read it through, there is an interesting article on how to run Classic apps on Intel Macs with emulation. Could be interesting for some.

Remove preferences on Mac OS
Quit Dreamweaver.
In the Finder, navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe.
Rename the Dreamweaver preferences folder:
Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Dreamweaver CS5 folder to, for example, Old Dreamweaver CS5.
Navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences.
Rename the Dreamweaver preferences file:
Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs file to, for example, Old Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs.
Try to re-create problem
After you have removed your existing preferences, restart Dreamweaver. The application creates new preferences files, folders, and registry entries, as applicable, using the default settings.
Then try to re-create the problem that you had before.
If the problem was resolved, then damaged preferences was the cause.
If the problem persists, then the preferences are not the cause and you can replace the original preferences.
To replace the original preferences:
Quit dreamweaver.
Delete the new preferences folder and restore the original name of the previous folder.

Standalone Projector won't work on a Mac when output from Mac Flash 8 Pro

Standalone Projector won't work on a Mac when output from Mac Flash 8 Pro
I'm outputting a Mac projector file that will work on my mac computer. However, when I upload it to FTP and download it my mac or another mac, it won't work! What's going on? I've tried adding ".app" to my file and it still won't work. Help!
Here's my set up: Flash 8 Pro on Mac Intel with Mac OS 10.4.11

Hi,
Does it work if you .zip up the projector and FTP the .zip and then unzip the projector on the other Mac's? A projector is basically an application. Applications in Mac's have package contents and resource bundles. When copying files over the network on Mac's, symbolic links inside the package contents and bundles can get messed up.
Thanks,

RealPlayer Safari plugin won't work on Intel core duo iMac 20"

Real Player Safari plug in won't work on Intel coreduo iMac 20" to either listen to audi or to play video and I don't know whether it is a Safari issue, Rosetta issue, RealPlayer issue or all of the above. I am also concerned about asking Safari to run under Rosetta becasue this seems to defeat the point of getting the latest machine. Does anyone know what the problem is and the likely timescales for a fix? Thanks. John
PS. I am able to access the resources I want using stand alone RealPlayer and Firefox.

Hello, this happens because Power-PC-plugins usually can't cooperate with Intel-coded programs. I've experienced the same mess with the famous GraphicConverter and TWAIN plugins from Epson. Until Real will not offer Universal-coded plugins, you have to use the Rosetta-bridge with PPC program versions. In such case I generally prefer the FireFox browser.

You run Windows in Parallels or Fusion. Then in Windows you install the program.

My Canon LIDE 600f won't work on my Mac Lion

I've downloaded a driver from Canon, and at someone else's suggetsion, a Canon toolbox, but: My Canon Scanner LIDE 600f won't work on my Mac Lion. Any ideas?

With the scanner driver installed and the scanner connected to the Mac, if you open System Preferences > Print & Scan, is the scanner shown in the list of devices? If not, are you able to add the scanner?
And if you open Image Capture located in Applications, does this show the 600F in its list and peform a scan if selected?

TUTORIAL: How to make PPC Plug-Ins work on Intel Macs!

Hi guys, I wanted to share this brillant method with you all, collect ideas and create a list of Plug-Ins, you have succeeded to make work (I guess nearly all PPc Plugs will work this way but lets better stick to facts). Maybe there is a way to work with more than 1 Plug - Feel free to report and contribute! Kudos goes to a dear friend of mine... Let' share some power...
"I noticed some people complaining about not being able to use Trilogy and Atmosphere on Intel Macs. There's a tricky way to do it that takes about ten minutes to set up the first time and after that is easy. It probably works for other PPC-only instruments as well.
Here's the outline: OSX for Intel contains a layer called Rosetta, which runs PPC software that hasn't been updated. (You might run Microsoft Word via Rosetta and not even know it.) In general, Rosetta is no good for audio software: you can't use it for a sequencer or a recording application. But it's good enough for a lightweight plugin host like Rax, which does nothing but serve as a host for Atmosphere. So you can load Atmosphere into Rax via Rosetta, then run it alongside a UB sequencer like Live or Logic.
The only tricky part is connecting the two together. You need to get MIDI out of your sequencer and into Rax, and you need to get audio out of Rax and back into the sequencer. The MIDI can go via an internal IAC bus. The audio can go via the handy freeware audio-routing utility Soundflower.
Here's how to set up:
-- download Rax version 1.2.3. (Version 2 and up won't work.) You can find it at http://macmusic.org/software/view.php?id=395 . Use the serial in SerialBox to install.
-- download and install Soundflower from http://www.cycling74.com/downloads/soundflower
-- in Audio MIDI Setup, create a new IAC bus. Instructions on how to do this are at http://www.spectrasonics.net/news/Creating-an-IAC-Bus.html . Name it Rhino. (You can name it whatever you want, but in these instructions I'm going to call it Rhino.)
Now you're ready to go.
-- Open your sequencer and create a MIDI track and an audio track. Set the MIDI track's output to Rhino. Set the audio track's input to Soundflower 2ch.
-- Open Rax and load Atmosphere. In the Preferences, go to the Audio tab and set Audio Device to Soundflower 2ch. Now go to the MIDI tab and, under MIDI Inputs, make sure Rhino is the only thing checked.
You should now be able to send MIDI from your sequencer to Atmosphere, and then hear the audio through the sequencer. One last stage is to sync Atmosphere to your sequencer's MIDI clock, so that tempo-synched effects will work properly.
-- Still in Rax Preferences, on the MIDI tab, set the MIDI Clock dropdown menu to Rhino. Close the Preferences window. At the top of the main Rax window, make sure the Ext. Sync box is checked. The Tempo window should say 0, which means Rax is following the sequencer's master tempo.
And you're done. Save the Rax document and you can open Atmosphere with a single click. Trilogy works the exact same way, obviously.
If you want to use multiple instruments from Rax, you'll need to use SoundFlower 16ch and send MIDI on a different MIDI channel for each instrument (using the same IAC bus).
Anyone who's tried this, please post your results in this thread. Especially, try out other PPC instruments, and try using multiple instruments at the same time, and let us know how it works for you."
Maybe one of the Admins wants to sticky this
With my very best,
Vic.

There's another shortcut I've used successfully in order to access 'old' PlugIns on an Intel MBP :
Just use Logic 6 - and take full advantage o' that ole rotatin' rosetta
Meaning : Other than with native Logic versions 7 and 8, Logic 6 has to be fully emulated by the rosetta engine, and if your intel mac is fast enough, it does so very well - thus including all PPC PlugIns you still may have installed. Also works fine for PlugIns that were converted via FXpansion's VST-AU manager.

How well do windows work in Intel Macs?

On a scale of 1 to 5, 5 meaning excellent, in your experience how well does windows truly work in your mac? Would you describe it as sufficient, tolerable, wonderful or a waste of time?

I have to take points away, 98% out of 100% for lack of drivers and driver support,
Lack of good fan thermal management.
Otherwise, fine.
The lack of the PC BIOS and use of UEFI instead, which also is what mandates the use of GPT and therefore a "hybred" MBR.
I wish I had a good link to Geekbench for comparison of MacBook Pro models running both Mac OS and Windows, and then there is a section for PC hardware.
You will also see the stray Hackintoush models thrown in as well.
Windows graphic drivers
File system and disk management handling
support for SSD
Windows on those laptops will use the part of the drive platter/tracks that is the slowest, often 60% of what the outer tracks achieve.
Getting games, drivers, audio needs a bit "hand-holding" but then most PCs have their own issues as well. RAM timing, voltage, compatibility, etc. to marry memory + motherboard + BIOS to get everything right.
All depends on the Mac. What you do or use. The quality of the applications etc but that is more "OS" issue than platform + hardware.
My Mac is a workstation and is so easy and similar to a PC mid to full tower EXCEPT it will run warmer due to lack of fan control.
Windows 8 may only be in Preview for now but it is very nice and promising. Some eye candy, but real tweaks under the hood gone in. Could be as much as there was from Vista (cough) to Windows 7. And 8 now in its state is as much or more than Windows 7 RC was, so that is a lot.
I would say "it" is all those things you described. Sometimes all of that on the same mac.
But if you really run Windows primarily which many do, but like the hardware, and the Air is nice and cost is impossible to beat.... might want a true Windows PC laptop. Thunderbolt technology is something Intel has said this month to the PC. Along with PCIe 3.0 and SATA 3 6G. SATA3 had a bumby year on PCs and Apple didn't escape, 2011's have had their problems and why they have refreshed and changed chips and design so many times this year alone. Kudos.
If you want to use SSD, mixed bag. Windows has better support. Apple has not always supported 3rd party and yet been slow (now changed or transitioning). And even Intel SSDs had to have firmware updates for everyone, and once more, to work properly on Mac hardware. Complex little buggers.
Don't generalize. How does CS5.5 run on XYZ? there too depends on RAM, processor/cores speed and efficiency, and type;/number of drives.
How do games play? again, some of them get lost and confused by the Intel 3000 graphics and don't switch to the discreet graphic chip the same or as well.

Does Photoshop CS5 for windows work on a mac

After much debate, I want to convert to a mac as opposed to windows. However, I was wondering if the CS5 student edition will work on a mac computer?

However, I was wondering if the CS5 student edition will work on a mac computer?
It won't. See Jeri's link for the details. However, since you speak of student edition, you may simply have to buy a completely new license - if you're eligible - or bite the bullet of getting a commercial upgrade.
