HT5128 What happened to Adobe Photoshop on PowerPC (Macbook)?

I have Macbook and Adobe Photoshop was installed when I bought it.  But recently, I am not able to open this application and it says;
"You can not open the application "Adobe Photoshop CS.app" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
How shall I solve this situation?
Which app might replace with photoshop?
I upgraded my Macbook to Mountain Lion, to get better, but loosing something which was working is not that good.

Here is a post that I assembled for a similar question:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2.  If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3.  Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions [check with Adobe for an updated version of Photoshop], or find alternative software that will open your data files;
3.  Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:

Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:

NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
NOTE 2:  Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

  • What happened to ADOBE workspaces files after being downloaded before retirement?

    What happened to ADOBE workspaces files after being downloaded before retirement?

    I had this problem as well! I was working on one of several projects I had, I'm pretty sure they were saved on the computer, my computer started to chug, I reset it, and they ALL disappeared! I can't find any of the files anywhere on the hard drive, but I also can't sign into the cloud to see if they somehow got moved. I reset again, and still nothing.
    When I try to log into the cloud it tells me the sync failed. Since I only just signed up for the subscription I don't know if it's common for it to go down, or what.

  • What happened to Adobe Media Encoder???

    Adobe Media Encoder has disappeared from the CC list of apps available, and I need to reinstall.  What happened to it? 

    I have Windows 7, HP elitebook 8560w laptop - my video drivers crashed,  which caused problems with any software that used them. So I've been uninstalling, and re-installing apps but Media Encoder is no longer in the list on my CC desktop app.
    I looked at my video box  (also win 7, an HP z820 tower, not a laptop)  and it's not on the list in the CC app for that one either.  That box is fine, no issues, and media encoder is installed, but it does not show up in the list of installed apps.
    Was there a change that does not let you install Media Encoder as a seperate app? Does it now only come with other CC video apps?
    thanks for your help!

  • What happens when Adobe Reader 9 is already installed

    I am wondering what happens when you try and install Adobe Reader 9 when it is already installed.
    For example I have Adobe Reader 9 installed and when I try and install it again I get to the part in the setup that says:
    "Please wait while the Adobe Reader 9 is being proessed"
    Once the percentage bar goes up to something like 99.90% the window just closes. I don't get any message saying it is already installed which I thought was rather odd.
    Is this really what happens when you already have Adobe Reader 9 installed?
    Thanks
    Edit: I running Windows XP SP2

    In Firefox and Chrome you need to replace their PDF viewer with the Adobe Reader plugin.

  • What happened to Adobe 1998?

    Under "View" - "Proofing Profiles" -there is no selection for Adobe 1998, which is the color space all my photos are shot in. It's there in PSCS2, but not in Aperture. What am I missing? Thanks for the help.

    I really don't think it's a bug at all, because as I
    stated, I think/assume that AdobeRGB is the default
    and is the profile used to display images when
    "Onscreen Proofing" is not enabled.
    And what if I import a file in sRGB or ProPhoto RGB?
    There has to be some default underlying color space used I agree. Bridge uses sRGB. But that’s not a reason not to show Adobe RGB (1998). But worse, all matrix profiles appear to do absolutely nothing when you select them. Maybe someone can confirm or deny this. Open a very saturated image and select sRGB, then ProPhoto RGB or any other simple, matrix profile. Do you see a change? I can’t. Why are they there in the first place?
    There’s no legal issue that I can think of since you can clearly select Adobe RGB (1998) elsewhere in the application.
    "In contrast with Adobe Photoshop, you don't have to
    set your "workspace." Instead, Aperture will always
    work in a wide gamut, except for when you apply
    Onscreen Proofing, which shows you how your work
    should look in final output.
    The reason you need to specify a working space in Photoshop is to define what it assumes for untagged files. Aperture (and all Apple color applications) are not that smart. They simply pick either your display profile (dumb) or Generic RGB. In Photoshop you have the option to say to it “When you encounter an untagged RGB file, assume it’s in this color space.” That’s useful. Apple app’s don’t work that way, at least since Tiger when the ColorSync untility removed the settings for such assumptions (a good idea since it didn’t really work anyway).
    Tip: In some cases, the profile lists don't match.
    As I mentioned, they tell you this but not why (like lots of other goofy designs in Aperture).
    Adobe RGB, for example, is included as an Export
    Preset option but not as an Onscreen proofing option.
    Try using ColorMatch RGB or Wide Gamut RGB when
    proofing for Adobe 1998."
    Again, this kind of defies any color management logic. Again, selecting such options doesn’t appear to change the soft proof anyway.
    BTW, I’ve sent an email to the Product Manager asking him to clarify this. We’ll see...

    It may not be the app itself that's taking up storage space. However images you have edited in Photoshop do.
    Go to your Applications folder.
    Right or control click the Adobe Photoshop app then click Get Info.
    In the Get Info panel you'll see:   Size

  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 in Macbook Pro

    During installation of Adobe Photoshop CS2, the installer runs and freezes in the midst. There is no way of installing Adobe Photoshop CS2 with intel processor. Full reinstallation of Mac OSX doesn't help. Running disk utility doesn't help either. Problems occurred with or without installing of Apple Security Update 2006-003(intel). Any comments?

    Edwin, thanks for the input, and I do apologize. You are right. I should be easier with which to live. There are two major problems out there right now. That is also part of the problem. We are not used to two problems in our domain.
    I own 20 Mac's in my office, and I only did these updates on my MacBook Pro 17 inch and my G5 Dual 2.3 Ghz machine that has two 30-inch Cinema Displays. I had both problems on my MacBook Pro, and the G5 had the reboot glitch. I won't update the other machines untill these problems are resolved by the OEMs.
    Of the two major hiccups out there, this link indicates Quicktime's update is the source of the inability to restart machines, fixed by deleting startup items, I believe. I had this reboot problem also.
    http://www.macworld.com/news/2006/05/24/cs2quicktime/index.php
    Accrobat's freezing the system, the question at hand, is a result of the Security Update, fixed by rolling back to a pre-Security Update state using Archive & Install re-installation of the OS. Archive & Install does not erase your files or network settings.
    Apple has released two products that fouled these systems. Bad Quality Assurance I think. I am not sure if the Security Update problem is an Apple or an Adobe software problem, i.e., Adobe may have not followed some software guidance. I am certain both companies are aware of the problem, but I am uncertain of the fix for Acrobat. We probably do need to update for security, but I can't live without Acrobat. So I will wait it out without the Security Update.
