Does CS3 work on Mac OS X Lion?

I have installed the Adobe CS3 Design Premium (from original package discs) on my iMac but although I am able to open Photoshop, the other applications won't open and instead return "the application has unexpectedly quit" notification. I was able to use this suite (and all applications) with no problem in my old mac laptop a few years ago. Does anyone know whether this is a compatibility issue with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 and Adobe offers a solution? Thanks.

Cgguyen in the window which you typed into to start your discussion you can perform a search.  By default it searches that particular forum.  You can remove the criteria to search all Adobe forums.  You can then see the discussions which are answered or not to help you determine the best discussion to meet your needs.  This is different than using a search engine such as Google or Bing.  You can find an example in the Photoshop General Discussion forum at Photoshop General Discussion.
I am recommending the forums for the specific application since that is the best place to seek assistance if you are facing a non-installation issue.  The community in each of those forums are going to be more familiar with how the application performs under recent operating systems.

  • Does PRE9 work with Mac OS X Lion?

    Does anyone use, together, Mac OS X Lion and Adobe Premiere Elements 9? Do they work well together? I am using Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Adobe Premiere Elements 9, and I am thinking of making the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion, but since in the webpage http://www.adobe.com/products/premiereel/systemreqs/ mentions "Mac OS X v10.5.8 through v10.6" (on 2011-08-25, 08:25 Greek-time) I was wondering if the work well together.

    Nice to know! One more question: did you have Adobe Premiere Elements 9 already installed with OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and after upgradigh OS X to 10.7 (Lion) version it just kept working? Thanks in advance!

  • Does InDesign CS3 work on Mac OS X Lion?

    I have installed the Adobe CS3 Design Premium (from original package discs) on my iMac but I am unable to open the applications (with an exception of PS) and get "the application has unexpectedly quit" notification. I was able to use all applications with no problem in my old mac laptop a few years ago. Does anyone know whether this is a compatibility issue with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 and if Adobe offers any solutions? The Customer Service says this is a technical issue (so they cannot help) and suggests that I seek help here but I had no luck so far. I already confirmed on another forum that this is not an installation issue and was suggested to seek help in program-specific forums. Thanks!

    You won't get any kind of official statement that CS3 works on Lion, but Rick says he has it running, so there is potential. The problem you face is there was no testing or program modification for CS3 in order to run on Lion, so you're on your own (with any help you might find here from someone who is successfully doing what you want to do). Your problems are most likely due to some other software you also have installed.
    As to why Windows has better OS backward compatibility than Mac, that's a difference in corporate philosophy -- Microsoft has a larger enterprise-scale customer base and they want programs to continue to run, and they're more likely to vote with their wallets.

    cgguven,
    I believe the compatibility is the responsibility of the upgrading party, and it can only be backwards; obviously, it depends on the fundamental (backwards) compatibility ensured by the other party.
    On the part of Adobe, it may be noted that all versions from at least AI8 (three versions before CS, from 1998) and right up to CS6 (from 2012) are compatible with the same rather old Windows version XP from 2001.
    And on the part of Microsoft, it may be noted that all versions from XP to the current 8.1 (from 2001 till present) are still compatible with the rather old AI8 from 1998 (and maybe even further back).

  • Does VMware v3.1.3 work with Mac OS X Lion?

    Does VMware version 3.1.3 work with Mac OS X Lion?

    Okay peoples, I have great news!
    I was told that maybe the update for Logic Pro 9.0.0 to 9.1.4 wasn't working for me because I must have renamed my software folder... and I remembered doing so back in 2010.
    You see, my issue was:
    I bought Logic Studio 8 (The big box with piano keys on the side) and then as soon as I did, Logic Pro 9 (the update version) came out. I was inclined to get the latest software, so I upgraded immediately. I remember wondering why my logic pro 8 stayed behind after the update so I foolishly renamed the folders "Logic Pro 8" and "Logic Pro 9" haha. Not knowing this would cause me grief later when I tried to update.
    So, my Logic Pro 9 is working again fine. My only concern now is for the hardware (the Apogee Duet) I am using, as I have to wait for a Lion update in August, thankfully it is only a month away as apposed to 6
    Cheers,

  • Does cs3 work with mountain lion?

    Does CS3 work with Mountain Lion? or even Mavericks? Help!

    Officially, Adobe supports CS5.5, CS6 and CC in Mountain Lion. I think only CS6 and CC in Mavericks. But many users here report being able to use any of the CS3 or later versions up to Mountain Lion without noticeable issues. Not enough reports yet by Mavericks users to say how well older versions work.

  • How can I make my PowerPC/Windows programs work in Mac OS X Lion?

    In a few months I will be buying a MacBook Pro and I have a lot of old games that I would like to be able to play on it. But those games are Windows/PowerPC only and Mac OS X Lion does not support PowerPC. How can I make my old programs work in Mac OS X Lion?

    For porting Windows programs to Mac OS X, you can check out Wineskin.  It can be very simple to very hard to do though... its all a case by case basis.  The older the game is the more likely you are to get it to work easily though.

    Does iMovie work with Mac OS X 10.6.8

    Me too! I have Macbook Pro 4, 1 with Mac OS X10.6.8 and I have IMOVIE 09 - 806 (version 821)
    I can't seem to import any films into it - they don't show up as events.
    Information online about suitability of 09 to Mac OS X 10.6.8 is confusing
    Any advice?

    It may be specific to the applications which you're running. This is probably better asked in the product forums for the products you use.

  • Does CS6 work with Mac OS Maverick?

    Does CS6 work with Mac OS Maverick?

    Yes. CS6 is supported under Mavericks but be aware that it will receive no further updates so all bets are off regarding Yosemite.
    Note, this is for a clean install. Upgrading an early O/S to Mavericks is a crapshoot.

  • Does Logic Pro 9.0 work with Mac OS X Lion?

    I don't want to update to Mac OS X Lion from Snow Leopard until I know 100% that Logic Pro 9.0.0 is compatible with it.
    On a side note, would Final Cut Pro 7.0 work with Lion as well (I will not be upgrading to Final Cut Pro X)?
    Thank you!

  • Has anyone got embedded fonts in SVG to work on Mac OS X Lion?

    I have used CS3, CS4 suite versions of illustrator on Snow leopard, and embedding fonts worked correctly,
    but on several computers at work here, none of the CS5 or CS5.5 suite versions of illustrator embed fonts in SVG format on Lion.
    I have also tried CS4 on Lion and still does not work...
    Saving as SVG without fonts works fine,
    Saving with fonts shows error message and no fonts are ever brought over.
    This shows brand new ai file with a text box and three letters in standard font:
    This shows saving as SVG to documents folder  (does not matter where saving to, issue still exists):
    This shows the SVG options (Note font is SVG, subsetting is common english and glyphs used.)
    Error message:
    Does not matter how many fonts are attempted to be embedded, no fonts (with glyphs translation) ever show up on the svg file.
    Any suggestions?
    Other than
    reinstall lion completely, then reinstall CS5 then CS5.5(DONE, does not work)
    reinstall lion completely, then reinstall CS5.5 only(DONE, does not work)

    This is what i currently have to do:
    Currently i use a secondary PPC computer with leopard 10.5 and Illustrator CS3 on it, and save the file as svg using those settings (fonts).
    Open the CS3 svg in text edit
    Copy fonts created in CS3 and then paste in CS5 svg file which i created on the intel computer with lion (mac 10.7)
    Also tested this in mountain lion 10.8, still same error, have to do this stupid workaround for now....
