Incompatibility CS6 and Mac os 10.6.8

I recently bought CS6 and Ps and Ai don't run on my laptop computer, which runs mac os x 10.6.8 and can't be upgraded to 10.8. Why doesn't Adobe support this os? And is there a way to get version of Ps and Ai that work on that computer with my CS6 license?

10.6 should run CS6 just fine

    With the latest updates/patches for CS6, Is it now compatible with Mac OSX 10.9.2?

    It might be yet another bug caused by Mavericks. Did you upgrade? Did it function as expected before that upgrade?

  • CS6 and MountainLion

    I can not open any images with CS6 and MAC Mountain lion- any ideas?

    I think station_two was most concerned that I used the word "root" and "user" in the same sentence.  Probably with good reason.  Thanks for the note.  I was using my Windows dialect of Geek Speek.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilde: 
    Directories and URLs 
    On Unix-like operating systems (including BSD, GNU/Linux and Mac OS X), tilde often indicates the current user's home directory: for example, if the current user's home directory is /home/bloggsj, then cd, cd ~, cd /home/bloggsj or cd $HOME are equivalent. This practice derives from the Lear-Siegler ADM-3A terminal in common use during the 1970s, which happened to have the tilde symbol and the word "Home" (for moving the cursor to the upper left) on the same key.[citation needed] When prepended to a particular username, the tilde indicates that user's home directory (e.g., ~janedoe for the home directory of user janedoe, such as /home/janedoe).[16]
    I actually used ADM-3A terminals way back when, among others.  Sigh.
    The real question is why the heck is the user library (~/Library) actually hidden by Lion and its descendents? What were they thinking? Geez, I hate the dumbing down of computer systems.
    And yes, Conroy's got it right - the leading period means current directory. The root directory of the file system is just: /

  • Do I need a 64 bit processor on my Mac Pro to run CS6 and Lightroom 4?

    I would like to install Adobe CS6 and Lightroom 4 on my 2008 Mac Pro but may not have the right processor to run it.  I know I will have to upgrade my OS X 10.5.8 to at least OS X 10.6.8.  The system requirements specify a Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support.  I have a Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor.  Does this mean my Mac will not run this software at all or slowly at best?  Will I only be able to use this software if I buy a new computer?
    Here is what I have now:
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name:          Mac Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacPro3,1
      Processor Name:          Quad-Core Intel Xeon
      Processor Speed:          2.8 GHz

      Bus Speed:          1.6 GHz

    Please see the tech specs for LR 4 : http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/tech-specs.html
    LR 4 and CS 6 applications will not run on 10.5.8, you need atleast 10.6.8 to run these applications.

  • Shortcut-Bug in Bridge CS6 for Mac / Bridge cant' copy and paste metadata

    The cmd-keys / shortcuts doesn't work in the file info panel btw. in the xmp / iptc fields (e.g. cmd+c, cmd+v, ...) of Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.3). You are not able to cut and paste info from one box to another like previous versions.
    This bug only appears in the file info window (opened via alt+i) in Bridge CS6 - if you edit information or metadata in the file info panel in Photoshop CS6, the shortcuts or copy and paste from one field to another works.
    The shortcuts also work under Windows (tested under Vista).
    I noticed this minor bug already one in the Photoshop CS6 Beta more than one months ago. I hoped that this was corrected in the official test version, but unfortunately it is not. Although it is a minor bug, it is IMHO a basic function and would be very helpful in my daily work. Bridge CS6 and ACR 7 are very good and meet my expect ions or needs - it is too bad, that such a small thing is making working with the application a little bit annoying.
    It would be nice, if you could forward this to Adobe engineers that they can fix it.
    Thanks so much!

    Thanks! If there is a workaround or simple solution, I would be very glad if you could inform me.

  • Using Mac Mini with Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom

    Hi
    I use Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4 mainly as I am a photographer. It involves both programmes live and some huge PSD files kicking around. I would be interested in hearing from any one who does similar on a high end mac mini. I am thinking of getting the high end new i7 with 16g and an SSD.
    Any good ?

    While it will not deliver 'blazing fast' performance, it has tested OK with Photoshop CS6 MGE recently and it has faired decently well in some benchmark reports. Since the OP insisted Mac Mini, I think he can go for it. Also, since his work demands more 'Photo-specific' editing, I guess he should be good. Not much 3D I assume!
    Here are some references:

    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html - HD4000 has been tested with CS6 by Adobe
    And I haven't heard of a 'reported failure' per se yet.

  • I deactivated my CS6 and uninstalled on my PC, so I could install CS6 on a Mac. I downloaded CS6 on my Mac, but when I try and put in my serial number it's is telling me that the number is invalid.  What else can I do?

    I deactivated CS6 and uninstalled on my PC, so I could install CS6 on a Mac. I downloaded  CS6  on my Mac, but when I try to put my serial number in it's telling me the number is invalid.  What should I do next?

    IIRC PS CS6 is not Cross platform. It takes a different license key code for each platform. A License key for Windows won't work on a Mac and a key for a Mac won't work on Windows. You'll need to buy another copy/License for Mac OS X.
    At one time Adobe did allow you to switch platforms by paying them some money and getting a Mac license key code which I think then Deactivated the Windows license key.
    IIRC the CC version does allow you to install on EITHER platform. But only one platform at a time. You can't have one copy on Windows and another on a Mac. Adobe does allow you to install on 2 computers with one license key but it must be on the same platform (Operating System) and both computers and or install of PS CC can't be used at the same time.

    I have master suite cs6. on mac osx. bridge has been quitting unexpectedly. Also, getting message at start up that states that "bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation" I have purged the cache several times and adjusted settings with no change. I also downloaded the entire suite and installed. Do I need to uninstall all of the programs before installing the suite? There is not an option to install only Bridge from the install package.

    Maria,
    Topic or subject titles should be clear, pertinent and concise so that individual users can tell at a glance if they can help or not.
    That field is not for attempting to fit your entire question in there.
    Please keep this in mind next time you post.  Thank you.

  • I have CS6 and I don't want it to break, but I need CC. Need installation tips (mac)...

    I have a CS6 suite and I don't want it to break, but I need CC.
    I don't have time this week for major problems especially since CS6 suite is working great.
    What's the latest news on installations such as this where CS6 suite exists, are they successful with the latest installers, versions etc. 
    Are problem installations effecting the CS suites, or are the problems isolated and only causing problems with CC?
    Do I jump in, or run away?
    thanks in advance.

    Hi J,
    The answer is 'YES'. You can install CS6 and CC on the same machine without causing abreak in fucntionality of any CS6 apps.
