I currently have an old version of Photoshop - CS, is it possible to upgrade?

I currently have an old version of Photoshop - CS, is it possible to upgrade to a newer version? It keeps crashing on my new Mac (Macbook Pro 2GHz Intel Core i7 running OSX version 10.6.8) and I don't use photoshop that much (probably once per month to design gig flyers) so I cannot justify spending $1,168 for the current version of CS6. I don't want to try and learn a new product either, I just want to be able to use Photoshop without it crashing. Please help!

From CS - CS6, there is no upgrade option possible. The last version that Adobe lets you upgrade from is CS3 (that too, till December 2012). Adobe usually supports current minus 2 versions for upgrade support.
In your case, you should buy a full version - yes I know it is expensive and having said that you need it only once a month, I don't know what to advice here.
Regarding CS not running on 10.6.8, are you getting any specific error codes/ numbers/ crash reports? If so, can you please post that here so we can see what may be going wrong?
While I doubt CS will work on OS 10.4 or 10.5+ (I've never used it), I can't say it never will work either. The only way to tell is to see a crash report to see what is going wrong.

    Hi David,
    You need to download CS6 Photoshop and enter the serial number for CS6 Photoshop and then you would be prompted to enter the serial number for qualifying product.
    Enter the CS5 serial number in order to install and activate CS5 Photoshop on your machine.
    Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

  • I have an old version of Photoshop CS2 which I purchased in discs and want to install on my new computer but don't have the  discs can I copy it from my old laptop?

    Is there anyway to install my old version of Photoshop CS2 onto my new mac without the discs?

    Adobe took down their old Activation servers so you can not activate installing CS2 from your CD.  Adobe made available a new download of CS2 that uses their new Activation servers for activation their old CS2 customers can download and install.

  • I have an old version of Photoshop (CS1) that requires activation but there's no way to activate it. How can I bypass this?

    I don't use Photoshop much so I've never upgraded. I've had it for probably 10 years and my PC recently crashed so I had to reinstall it. The last time I installed it on this machine I had the same problem so I called support and they gave me a workaround. However, they no longer support activation issues over the phone. Anyone have any suggestions?

    CS and CS2's activation servers were closed down. Adobe has provided free of charge to you a non-activation copy of Photoshop CS2.
    You go to this site, download the installer and be very sure to get the serial number next to it, because your old serial number is no longer good.

  • I currently have OS X version 10.5.8 what is my next upgrade?

    I currently have Mac OS X version 10.5.8 - intel processor what should my next upgrade be?  I need to upgrade in order to accommodate my new ipod nano.

    If you have a PPC iMac 10.5.8 is as far as you can do. If you have an Intel iMac:
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • I have an old version of photoshop cs, on PC from 2003.

    Never had any difficulty to register it before, But, now, the activation server is not available for the moment please try again later. The phone number provided for offline activation doesn't work either. This version is perfect for my needs, I don't want to buy a new one... don't have this kind of money to throw out of the window. how does it work now?

    See:

  • How do I install old version of Photoshop LE?

    I have an old version of Photoshop LE (and PageMaker 6.5). It has always re-installed as I have purchased new computers over the years until now. Can Adobe send me an update of some sort so this program will work? I hate to have to buy it again!

    i don't think there's anything to replace pagemaker.
    for ps le, you can upgrade to ps cs2 courtesy of adobe, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l

  • Hi. My iMac hard drive is running Mavericks.  I have an old version of Quark Xpress (3.32) which won't run in Mavericks.  Can I partition my hard drive and run an older system on one partition, so I can access my Quark?  Is that possible?

    Hi. My iMac hard drive is running Mavericks.  I have an old version of Quark Xpress (3.32) which won't run in Mavericks.  Can I partition my hard drive and run an older system on one partition, so I can access my Quark?  Is that possible?

    Hi ancelau,
    QuarkXPress 3 is a Classic Mac OS application, so you need a version of OS X that still supports Classic. I believe 10.4 was the last one.
    So if you have an iMac that boots with 10.4, then yes that is possible. I doubt though that newer Macs boot with OS X 10.4.
    So why don't you upgrade QuarkXPress 3 to a newer version? I am not just asking that because I want you to spend money with us.
    Typically using software that was released almost 20 years ago is just feasible when you keep an environment that was current at the time of release or a few years after, so an older Mac with a operating system present at that time. 20 years in IT is a lot.
    So my opinion is that on a new Mac with a brand new operating system you need to use something a bit more current.
    How about QuarkXPress 9 (released 3 years ago) or QuarkXPress 10? You are better off with v9, as QuarkXPress 10 only opens v7 and higher (whereas QuarkXPress 9 opens v3.1 and higher).
    Or - I am even happy to make an exception - upgrade to 9 and we give you 10 for free? Let me know please.
    Thanks
    Matthias

  • If I have an old copy of Photoshop 7 in .exe form for Windows, how do I get it on my mac?

    If I have an old copy of Photoshop 7 in .exe form for Windows, is there any way of getting hold of a .dmg copy that I can install on my Mac?

    Gener7,
    Thanks for that clarification. Being a PC-only guy, I could not recall when the break came for the Mac CPU's, and OS's.
    As the first released version of Ps was ported only for the Mac (was that release 1.0, or 1.0.1?), and then not released for the PC, until version 2.5, I knew a little bit of the history, but you just filled in a big blank for me. That's the sort of stuff that I missed, back when the Ps Forum was split by platform - I never read the Mac side.
    Appreciated,
    Hunt
