Installing classic illustrator and photoshop to Mac os Tiger

How can I install classic illustrator and photoshop applications to Mac os Tiger
  Mac OS X (10.4)  

Illustrator 10 and Photoshop 7 were the first OSX version, the next version of each they called CS (for Creative Suite, they were really pushing buy the Suite of 4 or 5 Adobe programs which cost big bucks) and the latest versions are CS2. I've heard of many having problems with CS2 so I haven't upgraded. Both Illustrator CS and Photoshop CS work well in Tiger.
But!!... on an Intel Mac programs need to be Universal versions, specifically designed to run on Intel Macs, older version can run but will open in to an emulation mode, Rosetta, that runs much slower, you will be running at least 50% slower than on a G5. But it's not like Classic, you won't even know when Rosetta is running.
And, apparently there are problems converting Illustrator and Photoshop to Universal and it's going to take a while. The rumor is that CS2 will not be updated, you'll have to wait for CS3 and there is no planned release date for that yet.
On the other hand, I read a recent article that said if you install Windows XP on an Intel Mac (Apple has a free program called Boot Camp that will do this but you need to buy XP), then the XP version of Photoshop will run really fast, faster than most boxes running XP. Oooo, the irony!
Anyway, there is a program that allows you to run a Classic emulation on the Intel Macs but I can't find my bookmark on it so you'll have to do a web search (or someone can post it).
I'm assuming you already have the Classic versions. You'd probably be better off getting the Classic emulation and running those until Adobe upgrades to Universal software. Kind of a waste to spend the bucks on brand new versions of Illustrator and Photoshop now when the versions you need are probably a year away.

  • Can i install CS3 Indesign and Photoshop on mac OSX10.8.4?

    Can i install CS3 Indesign and Photoshop on mac OSX10.8.4? Or do I have to update and can I purchase updates from Adobe? If I can, how much are they?

    Yes, should be no problem.
    According to the box that came with my copy of CS3 the requirements are "PowerPC G4 or G5 or multicore Intel processor, Mac OSX 10.4.8 or above.
    I loaded it onto my new Mac running Mountain Lion with no problems at all and it runs perfectly. InDesign used to crash occasionally under Tiger but has never crashed under Mountain Lion.

  • Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 install error EX20

    When installing Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 I receive the error EX20.  In looking at the installation log file there is warning DF029.  Suggestions?

    Reset your illustrator prefs
    Hold fingers over Shift Alt CTLR (PC) or Shift Opt Command (Mac)
    Boot Illustrator
    Immediately after booting depress the 3 keys as fast as you can.

  • Is it possible to use the fonts I have in my Mac Font Book with Creative Cloud software, such as Illustrator and Photoshop?

    Is it possible to use the fonts I have in my Mac Font Book with Creative Cloud software, such as Illustrator and Photoshop?

    Hi Kyley,
    Syncing fonts from CC is a feature of Typekit. However, fonts that you've installed manually on your system will be available in all your apps. You won't need to sync them.
    I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
    Cheers,

  • Illustrator and photoshop 2014 work perfectly, while Indesign crashes the entire operating system (mac osx 10.7)

    Hi all,
    Recently updated to CC 2014, and while both Illustrator and Photoshop run perfectly, every time I launch Indesign it crashes my entire operating system, forcing me to restart the computer.
    I'm running Mac OS 10.7. Should also mention that clean unistall/install did nothing to fix the issue.
    Anyone else having the same issue? Please help.

    Hi Sumit
    Why can’t I have any answer from Adobe? I bought a licence and now I can’t work with the software.

  • I am trying to run my registered CS6 Design Standard programs for the first time after install. InDesign runs OK, but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trail mode. How do I activate those two?

    I can't get my registered versions of CS6 Photoshop and Illustrator to run in full mode. I installed CS6 Design Standard online end of June (an upgrade from CS5.5), on my old MacBook Pro. I didn't run the programs then as I was waiting on arrival of new MacBook Pro. I migrated the programs from my old MacBook to the new, and today tried to run those programs for the first time. InDesign work OK (after an initial hiccup) but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trial mode, and won't let me save files. My CS6 Design Standard shows with it's registration in my Adobe Account. All seems in order, but Illustrator and Photoshop won't run in registered mode. Can you please help?

    Demons1 in the future please only migrate your documents and settings.
    Please use the uninstallers to remove your current installation.  They are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once the uninstall is complete you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.  You can find more details at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

    With CS5 you must have registered, hopefully under your present Adobe ID.

    Get the CS6 installation file and when you run it on the separate machine choose to install only the programs you wish it to have.

  • CC 2014.2 Illustrator and Photoshop will not work properly on 10.7.5

    I have recently download Illustrator and Photoshop CC 2014.2 on my MacBook Pro version 10.7.5.
    I notice some of the functions where not working properly. For example Bounding box in Illustrator will not appear for rectangle tool. Color strip on the color box will appear as sold color instead of strips of different colors for me to choose.
    I called the Adobe to find out why is this happening and they told me it was because I don't have the latest OS on my MAC. Do to company policy I can't upgrade my OS to the latest version. Adobe send me the link that is not working for two times and need the correct link ASAP.

  • "Left Behind" by Flash Player lately (although by Illustrator and PhotoShop earlier)

    Adobe and Apple need to be more supportive of older systems and use of older software that one uses for special applications. I need to use Classic periodically and have to do my "gymnastics" in order to accomplish things that current or slightly earlier software will not accomplish. I even have to go back to Illustrator III to get "blends" that produce separate items when the blends are "unjoined." If I did not go back to III, I could not accomplish my tasks — "import" these changes into a later generation Illustrator. The same is true for PhotoShop. Some procedures will not operate in later Photoshop, so I must go back to 2.5 or 3 in order to make some items that will then be opened in a later version. Meanwhile, I must first use a non-Intel machine and a system that will run Classic, or I cannot accomplish the task I must undertake. Now I find that Flash Player will not work on these systems, and I cannot get videos when I need them.
    Hurray for progress, but not when benefit is for the software and hardware developer's convenience and sale of product alone. It comes across as inadequate "customer care" when some of these customers are developing good things that should be a complement to the success of the software and hardware makers' products. If their [Adobe, Apple, and other computer industry businesses] goal is only to make money, and lots of it, then they have succeeded. Of course they have [also] succeeded in frustrating most of us enough that we will not write much on this panel [on the previous comments page I encountered] because the "submit a question" box inhibits one from seeing [the last three letters of] what he is writing, and thus writers will [be expected to "by default," it seems] leave very short questions and comments. To me this is manipulation and control, not "service." But again isn't that a "sign of or time," the interest of gaining for one's self [primarily], mostly at the expense of others? I guess that famous Adobe as well as well-known Apple has succumbed to that illness, as many others in our society have done as well in "drinking that Kool-Aid."
    Returning to "service-oriented products” would ultimately guarantee sales, and customer satisfaction. Unfortunately many do not realize they should be "dissatisfied" because they have been "trained" by businesses [sort of like Pavlov's dog] to "roll over and play dead" and to "just hand over the money," even if the business is not providing the "best," as it "should," and "could." Disgruntled? Dissatisfied? No, more like "disappointed" in people of executive leadership who are "sailing for themselves" rather than for "everyone else on board." Perhaps this message will reach the right ears, and change will be made, and we all be included in the "business relationship" [rather than just the businesses]. I hope this is taken to heart, for it is the "crux" of the matter. I am not the only one out there that feels this way. Maybe I am sounding out what others did not know what was "really bugging them" about the process they have been undergoing [I think I am — haven't we lost something we should "return" to?].
    Yep, I need Adobe to support Flash Player on Mac OS 10.4.11 non-Intel machines myself [I have, however, gotten used to the Illustrator and PhotoShop "problems" it  seems].

  • My Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 aren't opening...

    Hello, I am having issues with my Illustrator and Photoshop CS6.  Both software are encountering different issues. For Illustrator, the issue is that when the software is trying to start up, it crashes unexpectedly (it seems to get stuck on the "ColorHarmony.aip" then quits). Illustrator opens maybe 5% of the time when i sit there and try to open it, but its rare to get it to work.
    For Photoshop, it crashes 50% of the time during start up (similar to Illustrator), but the main issue with Photoshop is that when it actually opens, everything becomes incredibly slow. The mouse glitches and it takes extremely long for anything to actually work, I can't even select tools because the mouse glitches so bad. 
    inDesign however is completely fine.
    I own the Adobe Creative suite : Standard
    My computer is a HP Envy laptop with windows 8.1. It has 16b of RAM, an i7 processor and has a nvidia geforce graphics card.
    I have already un-installed and re-installed the software and even did a system restore and it didn't solve the issue.
    Please help I need this for school.
    Thanks,
    -Eric

    Moving this discussion to the Illustrator forum.
    Eric you have not posted any installation errors thus I moved this discussion to the Illustrator forum.  I would recommend you post any specific launch error or performance inconsistencies in the forum relevant to that software title.  You can find a list of available forums at https://forums.adobe.com/welcome.

  • Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop Freezing. Arrgggggghhhh!

    Hi All,
    I've recently installed Fusion 3 and now I'm having a diabolical problem with my Creative Suite. Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop (though less often the latter) freeze - not just after a sleep etc, but up to every 5 or 10 minutes. I am going absolutely CRAZY and am becoming extremely frustrated. I googled the issue and have read in many forums that Extensis and the latest Fusion 3 update is the source of the problem. At this stage I am forcing quit and reopening documents consistently. The interruption to my work, schedule and deadlines is creating intense stress. I installed Fusion 3 last week but it's only since yesterday that the freezing has become apparent and immediately unbearable.
    Does anyone have any advice? I can't go on like this. If I dump Fusion 3 and unistall it, will my problems go away? Sure, I won't be able to manage my fonts very well, but considering the alternative I couldn't care less. Can anyone recommend an alternative font management program that doesn't send Adobe programs into a full meltdown?
    Here are my stats;
    iMac running Version 10.6.8
    Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Adobe Creative Suite 5
    Please please - any advice greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    PPP

    Hi Manish,
    Thanks for your response. In the preferences window I have this option;
    "Global Auto-Activation Options"
    and then to check or uncheck...
    Auto-acticate fonts for the following applications - the only application listed is Textedit
    So I've unchecked it where I can.
    I am running CS 5 and can't find the specific plugins you have noted, but have found the following pertaining to Extensis;
    Illustrator/Plug-Ins/Extensions/ExtensisFontManagementAICS5.aip
    Indesign/Plug-ins/Font Activation/ExtensisFontManagementIDCS5.InDesignPlugin
    Photoshop/Plug-Ins/Automate/ExtensisFontManagementPSCS5.plugin
    Are these the ones I should delete?
    Many thanks,
    PPP
