I have a 9 year old iMac g5 and I'm about to start a photography course therefore would like to purchase and install photoshop.
I want to know if this iMac will load and run this software well, and if so what version should I buy for this old computer!
thank you

The wording is confusing. I just tried one of the DLs and it is working. Whether it will actually install now, I have no idea. If the activation servers have been disabled (because of a technical issue), probably not. Whether this is only temporary, I have no idea. I would think Adobe would just withdraw the entire page if they wanted. From the time this first appeared a few weeks ago until now I know it was working and could be installed using the provided serial #s. There was nothing about needing to actually have purchased it originally.
Ginger:
I downloaded CS2 from the Adobe site BEFORE this recent notice was posted and it is the only version that I have and use.
The new notice is VERY confusing, because if you were a prior purchaser of it originally, why would you need their newly supplied serial number (which is what I use since I was NOT a prior purchaser. But again, when I downloaded and installed CS2 there was no such notice).
I suggest that you see if it downloads, installs and works with that serial number, as free is always better than not! (especially since it is known that iMac G5's are prone to hardware failure from bad capacitors! I had many of them...)

I don't know how strict the OS requirements are. I do know that my old G5 iMac, even upgraded to Leopard, was able to run CS2. In fact, using Rosetta, CS2 still runs on my Snow Leopard.
As you can see from the image, CS2 is running in my Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) environment in Parallels concurrently with Lion.

I have a new macbook pro and want to purchase adobe photoshop. How can I do that with apple retina display compatibility? Does anyone use photoshop on your mac?
Adobe is moving from the purchase of a license for their software to the renting of it. I'm old school so I'd prefer a perpetual license. But you already have a subscription to Illustrator so I guess it'd be advisable to look into whether expanding the subscription to include other software will save you some money. Also I remember something about Adobe adding features to its Cloud version which aren't also added to the licensed version and a different way of handling updates and upgrades. Indeed, Adobe states that CS 6 has reached the end of the road. So if you're going to stay with Adobe, you may very well be stuck.
I'd suggest spending some time in the Adobe Communities. You'll likely find people complaining about choices they've made that you'll have to make too. Let them be the beta testers. -

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library). -
I have 2? How do I sync selected photos from my IPad to my IMac w/o losing all photos on my IPad which will be replaced with the photos on my IMac.You see I have two IMacs with different sets of photos. Also want to convert all Apple works docs to pages docs on my IMac. Is there and app available to do the former. many thanks. b
The iPad and related software is designed to sync with only one computer. I suggest transferring the photos from one of your iMacs to the other so that all photos are on one Mac. Same for all other files you want to sync over.
To get those AppleWorks files to the iPad you'll have to determine if Pages will open them. If it will then use the file sharing feature of iTunes to copy them to Pages on your pad.
If Pages will not open the AppleWorks files directly you'll have to save them in some format that Pages will read. These include but may not be limited to Pages and Word formats. -
I have an iMac 1.83 GHZ Intel Core Duo. The sound is suddenly intermittent, the magic mouse erratic. I'm running OS X 10.6.8. How do I correct this?
Will Lion run on this machine?Unless you have an intel core 2 duo processor or greater, you can not run Lion
General requirements-Lion
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space -
I have an iMac 27" which is 4 years old and probably overdue for a clean-up. Is there any good reliable software out there that would help?
Has anyone had any experience of 'Mackeeper'?Check how many applications are starting when you log in, I found that if there was a lot of activity at login Finder did not display the icons on the desktop correctly, again like you it did not occur at every login, just occasionally.
For Safari have you tried resetting Safari, if that does not help you could disable plugins and extensions one at a time. You may find one of those is causing the problem. -
Got my 1st Mac! I have an iMac with Nvidia GT640M. What great native OSX FPS or MMO games will run well on it, if any?
I'm an Android developer and got my iMac primarily for coding at home as well as general home computing (after being issued a macbook air at work and falling in love with OSX). I was a huge Windows gamer in the past but not in years. I switched from Windows to Linux a few years ago (when I transitioned my career from Windows development to Android). So gaming wasn't a big consideration in fact I didn't want anything too great for gaming so that I don't get sucked into gaming 24x7. However if I can enjoy a game or two on my iMac that would be cool.
I want a native Mac game and I want it to run well (not just barely on the lowest settings) or I would not bother. Will anything run great on my iMac or at least very good?It's the same Deus Ex franchise.
If you want multyplayer games, again see App store where you will find Call of duty, Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty Black ops, and Modern Combat.
You can also search online for Mac compatible games. -
I have a iMac 20 intel/512 mb from 2007 .i want to instal OSX Mountain Lion, but i have a OSX 10.4.1. I need minimal OSX 10.6.8 or more! What i have to do?
Processor 2 GHz Core Duo. 2 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 .Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
If yours is truly a Core Duo then it cannot run Mountain Lion. Snow Leopard is the latest you can install.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. -
What is a bluetooth alternative that will enable Yosemite to work on IMAC 20011
I was so excited about this upgrade and could not believe that an IMac mid 2011 was not included in the handoff function. Is there a bluetooth adapter out there that will work?
Hi CarolV.,
Are you using a separate App, or the Emoji keyboard built into iOS6?
Although I don't have a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard, I tested with an Apple Bluetooth keyboard, iOS6, built in Emoji.
I was able to bring up the onscreen keyboard with the Eject button (upper right above the delete key) and using the onscreen keyboard I was able to press the World key to switch to the Emoji onscreen keyboard. As the Emoji "keyboard" is so graphic (switching images and selecting them) I had to use the onscreen option to select the desired Emoji.
Once the onscreen keyboard was visible, I could also change between keyboards with "Command - Space" on the Bluetooth keyboard.
So the questions become, does the Logitech keyboard have a media eject key? and does it bring up the onscreen keyboard? If not, does any other function key bring it up?
Let me know if that works. Like I said, I don't have a Logitech keyboard so I wonder how universal these options are.

The Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 - I can't use becouse is LOOCK DOWN the computer -

I have an eMac. 1.25 GHz Power PC G4. OS 10.5.8.
Why can’t I find a Flash Plugin that will run my videos on Facebook etc?You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work -
I have a new MacBook Pro with Lion installed and I want to know if I can partition the HD so that I can install & run Snow Leopard OS 10.6.8?
Most likely won't run SL unless it's one that was released before Lion went public. Color SL gone from new Macs.

I have updated to Maverick on my Mac and now the thumbnails are tiny in Photoshop what can I do about it as they are so small I cannot see them.
You need to update to AE version 11.0.4 (the latest version of CS6).
The need to update has been made widely public. Not only has it been posted on Adobe's site, but there are dozens of threads on it in this forum alone (not to mention in /r/AfterEffects on Reddit and every other AE forum I've been on). A tiny bit of Googling would have solved your frustration in an instant. -
I currently have Max OS X 10.5.8. What can I upgrade to that will still allow my programs to work (iWork '08 mainly)?
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If you're using a PowerPC G4 or G5 Mac, nothing; they can't be upgraded past 10.5.8.
If you're using an Intel Mac, click here and look the applications up.
