IBook G4 and Adobe software

I am considering buying a 12" iBook G4. I want to use it with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Design, and Adobe Illustrator (and professional resolution photograph files). I would like to know if a 12" iBook G4 would work well with these programs, or if I should get a more powerful laptop. If I do buy the iBook, how much RAM would I need? Any other helpful hints would be appreciated.

Thank you for your (extremely prompt) response. I noticed that you have a 17" PowerBook G4, not the lower-priced 12" iBook G4 that I'm interested in buying. If price is any indication ($2499 for your model as opposed to $999 for the model I'm looking at), there is quite a bit of difference between these two machines. For example, the 17" PowerBook has a 1.67 GHz processor, while the 12" iBook has only 1.33 GHz. Can you (or anyone else) tell me about the 12" iBook G4's compatibility with the Adobe creative suite?

Adobe Captivate Help | What's new in Adobe Captivate 6 update (for subscription and Adobe Software Assurance customers)

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/whats-new-captivate-6-patch.html

Why on earth is this only for subscription and Adobe Software Assurance customers???
I own eLearning suite 6.1; why I'm not getting the Captivate update that is compatible with Windows 8 if my suite was released after Windows 8 release???

File permissions and Adobe Software

We have a problem with file permissions and adobe software. In Illustrator and Photoshop I can open files from the 10.4.7-server that are opened by another user at the same time and in Indesign, in the contrary, I cannot open any file on the server. Always error "no rights" or "is opened by another user", also if logged in as admin.
In MS Word for Mac we have no problem, if a file is open (Word) and I try to open the same file on another workstation, error "is open" is showed correctly. We have 3 10.4.7-Workstations and a 10.4.7-server on a G4/800. Can anyone help?

Assuming you're connecting via AFP, this may help:
1. Start with current updates: Update your client and server software to version 10.4.8. Update Photoshop CS2 to 9.0.2, Illustrator CS2 to 12.0.1, and InDesign CS2 to 4.0.4.
2. In Illustrator and Photoshop I can open files from the 10.4.7-server that are opened by another user at the same time.
This is actually not normal. Instruct your users to avoid opening files simultaneously, as this will result in lost data.
If you have SMB/CIFS access to the same share point, disable oplocks; allow only strict file locks.
If you've disabled the lock manager for AFP, re-enable it. It's enabled by default in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist.
3. For InDesign documents that won't open, delete their corresponding lock files. Whenever InDesign CS or CS2 opens an .indd or .inx file, it creates a corresponding .idlk file that simply serves to flag the .indd/.inx file as open. If File.indd won't open, locate and delete File.idlk and try again. The lock file will be stored in the same folder as the document.
4. Double-check your file permissions. Start by verifying the filesystems (Disk Utility/First Aid tab/Repair Volume button) of the server volume that houses the affected share point(s). You'll have to disable sharing to do so.
Ensure that your permissions are correct, and adjust them as necessary. Consider using an ACL to apply read/write access for users or groups, because ACLs offer the superior inheritance model. See my ACL Tips post (http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1732788) if you haven't already.

Can I read a single PDF file on iBooks, Kindle and Adobe PDF?

Hi there,
Is it possible to read a PDF file on iBooks and also read that same file on Kindle and Adobe Reader on the iPad?
I can't seem to do that and it seems silly to have 3 copies of the same file, in the same format, to be able to read on these 3 apps!
Should there be a book library such that when I open any of those apps, it goes to that library and displays the books and files that it can actually open!
It seems logical for this to be the case but somehow... ???
Maz

A pdf located in iBooks cannot be read by the other two apps, and vice versa.
Why not just use the one app for all your pdfs?
As with any library, a library can only display what is available on its own bookshelf.
It seems illogical to me....

Sign in required and Adobe Software License Agreement screens appear

Hi
Everytime I launch the Adove CC Software (Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator....) I have to sign in and then the Adobe Software License Agreement screen appears. Are these two screens supposed to appear everytime I launch the software (it didn't used to do this). It's very frustrating. Any help would be welcome.

IMac (OS X 10.9.3) and Adobe Software Inquiry

Hi,
I just got a new iMac (OS X 10.9.3) and I need to install Adobe Software in it but I'm not sure if it will work on the latest update.
Can anyone confirm if the Adobe software works on this OS? And by "anyone" I mean people who actually use Adobe with OS X 10.9.3.
If it works fine, which Adobe software should I buy? CC? CS6?
Thank you!

I'm using the CC 2014 releases now - yet CS5 and CS6 should work just fine (if you can find them for sale any longer - maybe Adobe is still selling CS6? I'm not sure... I sold out to Creative Cloud when they first got it up and running).

IPhoto and Adobe software

In the past I have cautioned photographers who will be using Adobe Photoshop not to acquire images via iPhoto because those images were not directly available to other software. e.g. when people open an image from within iPhoto into Photoshop Elements and process the image, the saved photoshop document could not be stored in a folder with its original image.
Has this changed with new versions of iPhoto? e.g. If someone uses the iPhoto downloader, are the images stored in a disignated spot on the hard drive where other software can directly access the images?
This is an important question as I teach Photoshop Elements or Photoshop CS to digital photographers.
Has Apple made iPhoto less proprietary?
Thanks for your input.
Mary Lou

This might be of interest to you:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

Adobe Captivate Help | Drag-and-drop interaction (for subscription and Adobe Software Assurance customers only)

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/drag-and-drop-interaction.html

Yep. But it will only likely get to you in the next version released for NON subscription or ASA customers. With 6.1 Adobe was giving a preview of the functionality they would be including in your next release. Either way, whether you upgraded to the subscription edition or waited for the next paid upgrade, you were always going to be paying something to get this new functionality. 6.1 users just got it earlier than everyone else. That was Adobe's decision. It certainly hasn't been a popular one.

Adobe Captivate Help | System audio (for subscription and Adobe Software Assurance customers only)

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/system-audio.html

I have just a "regular" copy of Captivate CS6 Mac version running OS 10.7.5 bought the box so it isn't a subscription. I'm trying to record a video that has an audio track with it I tried using "record new software simulation" as shown by by Dr. Allen Partridge above. In this video he has an option in his audio preferences that I do not have, namely the check box "system audio". Is this wonderful option ONLY for subscriptions or ASA's? If so WHY? If not what do I need to do in order to record the video WITH the audio?

Questions about iMac and Adobe software

I have an iMac with the identifier 11,2 4 GB RAM and an Intel Core i3 processor. On most of the products I use from Adobe will not work on Maverick. The newer products are needing a 64-bit multi core processor. Do I have this?
Thanks,

Photo sizes and adobe software

Hi
I'm attempting to make my first web banner in illustrator.
I have a photo that I bought of Istockphoto, it is 851 x 546 px
I created a new document in Illustrator 800 x 400 px.
I then opened up the photo in illustrator and it opened in a new document in illustrator. It didn't look as large as the artboard in my banner document.
I then copy and pasted the photo onto the banner document. I would have though that because the photo is 800 pixels across that it would be the same width as my artboard in the banner document, but it's much smaller.
can anyone explain this to me. I'm new to digital design.
David.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
AI works based on a document resolution setting which defaults to 300 DPI and will resample any other artwork that has a different DPI.
Illustrator does not resample a raster image to the Document Raster Effects setting when you "open" it.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
can anyone explain this to me. I'm new to digital design.
David,
"Pixels" as a unit of measure in an Illustrator document is completely bogus. It does not really mean pixels. It means points, or 1/72 inch. Illustrator is an object-based program. It can contain any number or combination of text objects, vector objects, or raster objects in the same document. Each raster image in an Illustrator document has its own PPI.
So, for example, you can have a 300 ppi image that measures 300 "pixels" (actually points) in width according to the rulers and a 72 ppi image that measrues 300 "pixels" (actually points) in width according to the rulers in the same document. In that case, the rulers will indicate that both of those two images "measure 300 pixels" in width. That's ridiculous. One has many more pixels within the supposed "300 pixels width" than the other.
If you then export that document as a single raster image, then everything on the page will be rasterized to whatever ppi you specify in your export settings. Thus, any raster images contained in the document would be re-rasterized (resampled) in the exported result.
So you can't think of the "pixels" indicated on Illustrator's rulers as indicators of the actual number of pixels contained in a raster image on the page. A pixel is not a unit of linear measure because a pixel can be any size you scale it to. The inclusion of "pixels" as a unit of ruler measure in Illustrator is just a confusing "convenience" for those who want to think in terms of the pixels in the final exported raster image.

Safari, itunes, and Adobe Reader wont start up on iBook G4

I have an iBook G4 that I purchased from a friend a few months ago that seemed to be working fine up until two days ago. Now for almost no reason at all, Safari, itunes and Adobe reader will not open anymore. Can someone please help me?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Did your friend give you the system discs for the machine? If not, get them. Then see if you can boot from the Tiger disc and repair your boot drive.
Also, you can go to Disk Utility and try repairing permissions. If you have downloaded software and not done this, there will likely be many permissions to repair. Downloading can change permissions, and it is good practice to repair permissions after downloading software.
While in Disk Utility, check the SMART status of the drive. If it says anything other than "verified", the drive is on the way out. It may also be on the way out even if DU says that SMART is verified.
If you can get the discs, also see if you can find the Apple Hardware Test and boot to it and run the extended version of it.
Does the iBook still have its original hard drive? If so, the drive could be beginning to fail. If that's the case, you will need to replace it.
This is just a place to start. Report back with how it goes.
Good luck!

CS7... or CS6.5?
I don't have any links, but I remember a past discussion where the Adobe CEO said they would be going to an annual release cycle... with a .5 (paid) upgrade between the major version upgrades
If that is still true, that means that what will come out this year will be CS6.5
