DNG converter for older versions of MAC OS?

Hi,
I'm helping a friend who is happily using PS CS3 on a Mac with Lion or Lepard.  I'm a PC person so I'm not sure what those two names mean.  Anyway, he has a couple of newer cameras (a Sony and a Nikon) for which CS3 can't interpret the RAW files.  As I understand, Adobe is not providing support in CS3 for new RAW files and my friend does not want to upgrade to a later version of Photoshop CS or CC.  So, I suggested the free Adobe DNG converter. 
In looking at the Adobe specs on the DNG copnverter, it says that it requires Mac OS X 10.6 through 10.8.  So, two questions:
1)  Is OS X 10.6 tru 10.8 the same as Lion or Lepard (I suspect not)
2)  Is there an "older" version of the Adobe DNG converted I can have him download that is compatible with his OS and has (or can get) the code for recent cameras?
Thanks -- Dan

To answer the other part of your question, you can download older versions of the DNG Converter from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
The question is, though, what version of the DNG Converter is needed to handle the files.  Since you didn’t specify the extract models of cameras, that is impossible to verify, yet.
You can look at this list of cameras and ACR version numbers to get an idea what the minimum DNG Converter download that would be needed to support them, and then check the system requirements of that particular DNGC version:

Finally, Adobe is still offering the PS-CCLR subscription for $10/month (in the US).  It was supposed to expire on Dec 3rd, and then Dec 8th, but it’s still there, now without a specific expiration, but that doesn’t mean the offer won’t expire.   $120/year for the PS-CCLR subscription is about as much as it used to cost to upgrade PS-non-extended every 18 months, so if your friend can afford $10/month they can have the latest PS and run it on up to two computers.

  • HT6012 I had an older version of Mac OS, I upgraded to Snow leopard and then OSx Lion, most of my software has been upgraded except for Imovie.  Now I can't get my projects to upload or share to iDVD or iTunes.  What do I do?

    I had an older version of Mac OS, I upgraded to Snow leopard and then OSx Lion, most of my software has been upgraded except for Imovie.  Now I can't get my projects to upload or share to iDVD or iTunes.   Also to compound the situation everytime I attempt to share to iDVD or iTunes, iMovie quits unexpectedly.    What do I do?

    If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
    If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

  • I upgraded to firefox 4 but it is not suitable for my version of Mac Os and don't know how to get the previous version of firefox back!

    I downloaded the latest version of Firefox (ie 4) on my Apple laptop, but the fact that it is "unsuitable for (my version of) Mac Os " was not revealed to me until I had already replaced the previous version which was suitable. I don't know how to retrieve the version I was using.

    The latest versions of Firefox require at least Mac OS X 10.5 and an Intel processor. You can revert to Firefox 3.6.xx for Mac 10.4 by downloading the installer from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • CS5 DNG Converter for Nikon D750?

    Hi, Is there a DNG converter for CS5 for the Nikon D750?  I only see CS6 or CC.  Thanks!

    The DNG Converter 8.7 RC in the CS6 branch at Adobe Labs will work to make the new camera NEFs compatible with your older ACR plug-in for CS5.

    You appear to have an iPhone 5. Snipsnap 2.4.2, the current version, says it works on iPhone 5, iOS 5.0 or later. Why do you want an out of date version of the app?

  • Can I get product key for older versions of Illustrator with Creative Cloud Student and Teacher edition

    I have purchased the Creative Cloud Student and Teacher edition and I now need to install illustrator on Windows Vista. All the new versions are not available for Vista. I have managed to find older versions for download but it is asking me for a product key. Is it possible to get the product keys for older version with Creative Cloud Student and Teacher edition?

    You cannot purchase older versions of Adobe software thru Adobe.  If you have a full subscription you can acquire the CS6 version  thru that.  I have had CS6 running on a Vista system for years without problems.

  • Compile for older versions

    Hi,
    I did some code and when trying to run the jar file in another computer i have the problem that the code was compiled in mine with version 1.6 and the other computer has java version 1.5.
    Is it possible to compile a jar file for older versions?
    Please help,
    Rodo.

    Here's an example of how flaky the -source and target flags are. This code compiles and runs fine under 1.5 (without flags):
    import java.io.*;
    public class VersionExample {
        public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
            PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new File("test.txt"));
            try {
                out.format("%s%n", "woops");
                out.flush();
            } finally {
                closeIt(out);
        static void closeIt (Closeable stream) {
            try {
                stream.close();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
    }Now supply flags -source 1.4 and -target 1.4 and you get one error message:
    path...\VersionExample.java:7: cannot find symbol
    symbol  : method format(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
    location: class java.io.PrintWriter
                out.format("%s%n", "woops");It seems to be noting that format() was introduced in 1.5, right? But what about interface Closeable and constructor PrintWriter(File)? They were introduced in 1.5, too! Yet if you comment out line 7 above, the rest of the code compiles :-(. Odd...
    edit: I see what the compiler was choking on: format's use of varargs. If you rewrite the offending line as
    out.format("%s%n", new String[]{"woops"});it compiles with flags -source 1.4 -target 1.4 :-(

  • Looking for older version of Itunes to run on Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.6GHZ Windows XP

    looking for older version of iTunes to run on Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.6GHZ Windows XP

    ? Please read my original post again. Maybe how I said it was confusing but that is exactly how I checked it... in VISTA. Exactly the way the link you gave me described.
    You do understand the message I am getting says: *itunes.exe has been set to run in compatibility mode for older version of windows. For best results, turn off compatibility mode for itunes before you open it.* I am interpreting this to mean that compatibility is set for something OTHER then VISTA since it it saying "for and older version of Windows".
    When you tell me to "Check the compatibility mode in Vista not iTunes" what the heck do you even mean? How do you check compatibility in iTunes?
    Thanks for trying to help, but not sure you read my post as I intended. I have seen one other post that mentioned the same problem, but that post never got a response that was helpful.
    Thanks for trying. Later !
    p.s. I still need help from someone.

  • Does iOS 7 Support Apps for Older Versions of iOS?

    Does iOS 7 support apps for older versions of iOS? This is my first big iOS upgrade so I wanted to be sure about this.

    Which is why I said "should" rather than "will". As there are no absolutes, I'm pretty sure there will be an app somewhere that will not run or have issues until its updated to the new iOS.
    With that said for the most part there "should" be no issues updating to a new iOS version related to having older unupdated apps, but its still possible that there can be.

  • Documentation for older versions

    Hello there everyone, I have a question relating to
    Coldfusion 4.0 and it would be helpful if I could scan the cfdocs
    for it. I can see links for CF5 and CFMX at livedocs.macromedia.com
    but cannot see anything for older versions.
    Does anyone know any other sites that might have this sort of
    info, is there an archive of old cfdocs anywhere?
    Thank you for any help.
    Barry

    I don't think Adobe has them anywhere on their site, but you
    can probably find them on someone's server, since they used to
    install at /cfdocs/ try this:
    http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl%3Acfdocs+%22coldfusion+4%22

    "coldfusion 4"

  • Compatibilty Chart for older versions?

    Hi just wondering if anyone knows where to locate compatibilty charts for older versions of WebCenter interaction. Primarily I'd like to know if Plumtree 6.0 SP1 is compatible with Windows Server 2003 SP2?
    Thanks.
    Edited by: user9526276 on 26-Jul-2009 17:45

    Thanks for the response Ryan. I wonder if this is because it was never officially tested with SP2 since it came out way after that release. Does anyone have experience with this? I might try it on our UAT system and keep my fingers crossed.

  • I have a G5 and iBook with PowerPC/iTunes 10....just recently I can't bring up the preset Internet radio on either one. Is this a glitch, or have they been permanently disabled for older versions of iTunes?

    I have a G5 and iBook with PowerPC/iTunes 10....just recently I can't bring up the preset Internet radio on either one. Is this a glitch, or have they been permanently disabled for older versions of iTunes?

    I should have posted this for you a while ago. My apologies for not doing it sooner. This was passed on to me by another user R C-R
    He deserves the credit for this workaround. This is his post from an area in the forum where you have to be level 6 or higher in which to participate.
    I am getting the same (global) error using iTunes 10.3.1 on a 2008 MacBook running 10.6.8.
    A really, really awkward workaround that works for me (for now) is if you have the URL of the Internet radio server you can go to Advanced > Open Stream... (in iTunes 10.x) or type command + U, enter it there & click OK. The station should play fine in 10.x.
    You can get the URL from any version of iTunes that still supports the "radio tuning service" (which I gather is an Apple server thing Apple is no longer supporting for 10.x). Play the station normally from the newer version & type command + I to open the info window. At the bottom of the "Summary" tab you will see the URL. (Annoyingly, you can't copy the text so you will have to write it down.)
    Once you have that, you can play the station in 10.x & add it to a playlist for future use.
    To check this out, maybe try http://198.27.80.37/stream/mbarsott.pls -- it is a European Jazz station that works fine for me with iTunes 10.3.1.
    This workaround does work, but is a bit cumbersome. I'm still holding out hope that it is just a glitch.

  • Pages Converter (for older Mac files)

    Hi all.
    I have a fairly new iMac that I bought last July.  I have been using Macs for years.  When iWork downloaded with Maverics I deleted iWork 09 from my HD.  I now try to open Pages files and they say I need to re-open them with iWork 09 and save them again.  Also I can not open any of the older Claris Works / Apple Works files from my University days.  Loosing alll these files due to an update that is incompatible is unacceptable.  I still have the iWork 09 key form the disks I bought, but like I said, I have a newer iMac so no CD/DVD drive.  Can anyone help?
    Cheers

    Pages '08 files need to be opened by Pages '09, or exported to Word .doc/docx files.
    Are you sure you don't still have your older versions in your Applications/iWork folder?
    LibreOffice (free) will open a lot of oldeer files.
    Be warned that Pages 5 is very buggy and shy 100 features.
    External CD/DVD/BluRay drives are cheap from eBay, or you can open the DVD on an older Mac and make it a .dmg file in DiskUtility, then install that from a USB stick.

  • Exporting to Quicktime for older versions

    Hello. I have a the latest version of QT and so when I export a video, it plays on my computer but not for folks running older Window versions. Is there a way I can export to a QT 6 clip without having to re-install the older version of QT therefore losing the benefits of having QT 7 myself? I export in Final Cut Pro. Would getting Quicktime 7 Pro work?
    Thanks for any help.
    powermac g5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Quicktime 7 uses H264 encoding in all the presets and that means such movies require QT 7. You will have to use custom exports and choose mpeg-4 to make files that will require only QT 6. If you use Sorenson 3 then QT5 for Windows will read that. Finally, the Sorenson encoder without a number will produce video readable in QT 4 and later. If you are not up to speed on how to make customized encodings then download this pdf guide to learn how to do it. I'm not sure if this link is still active so you may have to do a search of the Quicktime site if the link doesn't work for you:
    http://images.apple.com/quicktime/pdf/QuickTime7UserGuide.pdf
    P.S. That link seems to work but you will need the free Acrobat reader installed to be able to use the guide.

  • Firefox froze with last update, I have PowerPC with Leopard on it, is there a download for older version

    My tech told me to delete it and download a new Firefox and its 7.0.1 and it has a white circle with line through it. I noticed it says you have to have a Intel Processor, I don't, mine is PowerPC. Can I get a link to download the older version that will work on my Mac with Leopard OS. It was working fine until 9/16 when I got caught in a loop after the update and only way out was force quit. Each time I'd open, it would do same thing.

    http://mac.oldapps.com/firefox.php?old_firefox=108
    I tried 6.0, 6.01, one of the 3.6's, 4.0 and a 5.0 and they all come up with the white circle and bar thru it. Someone told me to go to:
    Firefox 3.6.x is the last version from Mozilla for PPC Macs.
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4 / 5 / 6 /7, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/downloads/list
    and the tenfourfox will download but you can't get it out of the download folder to put in apps.
    I'm fully confused. Some of them even though it says its a lower verson, when it finishes it says its 7.0.1. You would think that there would be something in there that would check, if there wasn't an intel processor, it wouldn't have downloaded and mess up my Firefox software so I can't use it.
