Is anyone ACTUALLY using/running CS3 on Macintosh Tiger OS & creating cont?

Huge dilemma on my current work flow . . .
Is anyone actually running CS# on the tiger OS?
Is it stable, working ok - or several problems?
Deeply appreciate actual user replies.
Thank you for any insight you may offer.
Luke

Yes, No, Yes... depends...
My QS/2001 running Tiger 10.4.11 still can use Classic, or even boot into OS9 if need be, runs CS3 Pro too, though I prefer 10.3.9, which doesn't do CS3.
My MDD/FW800 doesn't boot OS9, but uses Classic, and or CS3.
I think any G4 can do both Tiger/CS3 and/or Classic at the same time!
What exact G4 do you have?
But also JUST as important - can you successfully run CS3 on it.
That is, has or is anyone actually creating content with it - on Tiger OS.
Iv'e done some piddly stuff, not with Flash... which I don't get at all, but all the other ones.
If you tell how to create content in Flash I'll reinstall it and give it a whirl!
PS. Leopard is a joke we'll all get one day and we'll fall over laughing!:-(

  • Does anyone actually use automatic panning?

    I've tried the automatic panning feature, and I don't understand how it could ever be useful. For example, using Captivate 5.5 for Mac, I'd like to set a recording area smaller than the application window and have the recording area move with the mouse, but I'd like the recording area to stay withing the application window borders. The results are jerky, unpredictable pans and the recording area invariably roams beyond the application window borders, showing undesired screen elements (other apps, Mac menu bar, etc.,) despite my specifying "Application" for my recording settings. I've had to resort to manual panning--which is very difficult to use smoothly; I had to create a "single axis movement" key command on my trackball mouse to help control horizontal/vertical movement, but even that isn't 100% reliable to ensure smoothness.
    Am I missing something, or is it simply not possible to control automatic panning in the manner that I'd like? (I've read that Camtasia does this flawlessly, but I've never used it. And I am not certain whether it could be used for eLearning, not to mention it's video based, thus large files.)
    I'm having a hard time understanding how this feature could be useful, unless you don't mind very jerky pans and your application is full screen and running on Windows (no OS menu bar to distract the user, although I suppose the bottom task bar could get in the way but at least that could be hidden).
    Has anyone actually used automatic panning for a project, and were you pleased with the results?

    Hi there
    Until Captivate 6, I've long advised folks that if "panning is your thing", skip Captivate and go look at Camtasia.
    That being said, it's worth noting that while Camtasia and Captivate both capture what goes on with your screen, they take two different approaches.
    With Camtasia, you pretty much record the full screen at the start, then later determine the size you want to produce at. Since you are already full screen and you later determine where the pan goes, it's much better and silky smooth in operation.
    As you have seen, with Captivate you get, ummm, how do I say this nicely? Ummm, "less than desirable" pans. So if you are on Captivate 5.5 or earlier, fuhgeddaboudit when it comes to panning.
    But I'm aware that Adobe has put lots of effort into Captivate's full motion recording engine. Whether it will now rival Camtasia's remains to be seen. But it's greatly improved in version 6 of Captivate. You did mention Mac. I'm not a Machead and tend to avoid them for value considerations, so I'm ill equipped to say whether Adobe updated the Mac version along with the Windows version for 6. I know TechSmith has different release cycles as well as different feature sets for Mac VS Windows on Camtasia. Perhaps Adobe is better in this respect.
    So you might try version 6. Download it, kick the tires and see if upgrading is worth it for you.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Anyone actual using CS3 on Mac Tiger OS???

    Hello those reading -
    Big dilemma in my current work flow . . . need to see if it's
    possible
    to run/use brand new purchased CS3 on a Macintosh Tiger OS.
    Is anyone out there actually creating content (specifically
    movies from QT) using
    the Tiger OS.
    Has it been stable - or any REAL problems?
    Thank you for any help and insight.
    Kind regards,
    Luke

    I have been using CS3 both with Tiger (G5 Single Processor @
    1.8gHz with 3.5 GB of memory) and Leopard (MacBook Core Duo @ 2.0
    gHz with 2GB of RAM) without any problems.

  • Anyone actually use bluetooth with their phone?

    So i have recently discovered that the less i deal with my phone directly the better my quality of life should be. I have deleted pretty much all the bs social networking apps from my phone and try my damndst to keep my eyes off of the screen. But the problem lies with my phone - the actual phone part- i get a lot of calls per day for business and well, i hate it. Good for business but bad for my anti phone phase. A buddy of mine got me off of the iOS band wagon and into the android eco system a while back and uses a blueant q2, now i would like to take his word for it and im sure i can, but im intesteed to know what the what the community uses, if any....

    I've got a really basic phone that cost me £16.  No Bluetooth, no WiFi, no apps.  It's not even got a camera.  The number is ex-directory, so the only people who can phone me are the ones I give my number to.
    I had similar for years and was happy with it, but I suddenly decided to get a decent smartphone just because it was there. By no means essential but it is handy now and then for info on the fly. £10 a month for a supermarket SIM that provides way more than I need is a reasonable running cost, though if I ever get close to my 5000 texts a month I'll refer myself to a shrink.

  • Has anyone actually used the Apple USB "rescue" drive on a 2011 MBA or Mac Mini?

    I am getting conflicting information as to whether the $69.00 Lion USB "Rescue drive" will function on a mid 2011 MacBook Air or a Mid 2011 Mac Mini. (Yes, I know it will work on the 2011 MacBook Pros).
    1) The local Apple Store Genius Bar personell say that it will not work. It has 10.7.0 Build 11A511, and the 2011 MBA's and Mac Mini's require at least 10.7.0 Build 11A2063 and 11A20621, respectively.
    2) Several people have answered this question in the Q&A section of the online Apple Store that it will work on a mid 2011 MBA.
    3) I contacted Apple, via the Chat system within the online Apple Store, and they are kinda sure that it will work. But in any case, if I were to get it to work it would ace my recovery partition, and forever NEVER let me use a recovery partition on that Mac again.
    So, I am left with the most reasonable avenue to obtain a correct answer. I ask if anyone has sucessfully used this drive on a mid 2011 MBA or mid 2011 Mac Mini.

    Given the nature of backups, my recommendation has always been to use a strategy that is unequivocally supported by Apple. As you already determined Apple Support unequivocally informed you that your proposal will not work, unless your router is an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.
    The exhaustive list of devices supported by Time Machine amounts to the following:
    AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard disk (any model)
    External USB hard disk drive connected to a Time Capsule (any model)
    External USB hard disk drive connected to an AirPort Extreme (current model only)
    A hard disk drive directly connected to your Mac
    That is all.
    Use whatever backup device you want, but you should be aware that this site is full of reports of misery from hapless individuals who had been using NAS devices for Time Machine backups, only to find that they were incomplete, corrupted, or useless when they were required. Apple won't care if you lose your data while using a Time Machine configuration specifically excluded from their technical support documents.

  • Has anyone actually used PS CS6 with the new Macbook pro?

    There has been an awful lot of discussion about how the new macbook will work with CS6, mostly talk about the UI, but has anyone used it?  How does it work with the retina display (other than the UI)?  Yes, Adobe is going to make it retina compatible and we don't know if they will charge for the upgrade or not.  But I'd like feedback from someone who is using the new Macbook pro with CS6.
    Thanks!

    Thanks.  I have scoured the forums and nobody has used it - or if anyone has, they haven't said squat.  Anyway, I took the plunge, downloaded the app and it is absolutely stunning on my rMBP.  Even though, as you say, it is at the pixel representation I've always had.  I can't wait until the update and full retina representation.
    It is fast as blazes, sharp as a tack.  A beautiful thing.  I'll play with it some more to see how it performs.  But so far with some short tests, the rendering is almost instantanious and the colors are brilliant. 
    So far, so good.

  • Has anyone actually used tethering please?

    I have the unlimited data plan and the Sierra Wireless card ($60 a month unlimited)
    I could save $45 a month using tethering ($20 for the tethering, $25 2gig plan, but not unlimited anymore).
    Has anyone used tethering? Main thing I want to know - can you make and receive a phone call whilst being on the internet/email etc. If not, will not shift from my current set-up.
    Be grateful for any response please.

    i've never used more than 300MB of data in the last year, but at the same
    time, i'd be afraid of going over the 2GB once i have the tethering!
    and what if i decide it's not for me, will i be able to revert to my unlimited data plan???
    decisions, decisions....
    If you stream a lot of big content (download torrents, movies, etc.) or watch a lot of movies or stream a lot of radio (my friend leaves Pandora on at night to go to sleep to), then it will murder you.
    If you're with AT&T, you cannot return to the unlimited plan once you leave it.

  • Decoding AVI files using Encore CS3 On Macintosh

    I have some AVI files that I want to import as Assets into Encore CS3.
    I AM USING A MAC!!!
    Information about my files (Retrieved from the advanced information tab of the information window in VLC for Mac) in shown below.
    Stream 0
    Codec: XVID
    Language:
    Type: Video
    Resolution: 640 X 480
    Frame Rate: 25.000000
    Stream 1
    Codec: a52
    Language:
    Type: Audio
    Channels: 2
    Sample rate: 48000 Hz
    Bitrate: 256 kb/s
    General
    Duration: 0:24:15 (Obviously this varies from one file to the next)
    Meta-Information
    Setting: HAS_INDEX IS_INTERLEAVED
    I should think the information provided above is all that is necessary to solve my problem. However, if you need statistical information (provided in the statistics tab of the information window) please tell me.
    When I import the AVI files (AS Assets) I receive an error message saying;
    'The Software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. Installing the correct decoders for the files you are working with may help to correct the problem.'
    I am pretty sure (Thanks to Bill Hunt) that what I need is a codec for decoding XVID video files.
    Am I right?
    Is there such a thing for Mac?
    Where Can I get it?
    P.S: I don't want to convert my AVI files to .mov files or other compatible formats because I have allot of files and not allot of time.
    Thanks

    In the day that's passed since you've posted, you probably could have converted all your media, but anyway...
    If you're for some reason you are still averse to doing that, I would reluctantly suggest installing the Xvid codec on you Mac. Reluctantly, because Xvid can cause havoc on some Windows systems, and I don't know how well it plays on the Mac.
    It may work fine, or not - try it at your own risk.

  • Does anyone actually use Nepomuk?

    Relly?
    It seemed worse than a virus for me when I tryed kde4, something kept running in the background eating all  my cpu powers and harddrive speeds, I had to google to turn the thing off.
    Then I let it run for a while. Still havent found any good use of it.
    Examples?

    Just a quick summary of what Akonadi is, for those who don't know: Akonadi is an abstraction layer/proxy and a cache for PIM data.
    PIM data can by anything like mails, contacts or calendar entries, and they can come from different sources, like an IMAP server, a
    local vCard file or an Exchange server. Akonadi provides an easy API for the client application developer to access that PIM data
    in a transparent way.
    Nepomuk aims to provide the basis to handle all kinds of metadata on the KDE desktop in a generic fashion. This ranges from simple information such as tags or ratings over metadata extracted from files to metadata that is generated by applications automatically. RDF, the Resource Description Framework, provides the powerful basis to store and query all this data. The goal is to categorize all metadata using clean ontologies to make an automated handling and enrichment of the data possible.
    Then theres strigi which can also use various backends for filesearching/ indexing.
    And yes i use all of the above in kde 4.4 which has virtuoso backend for strigi making it alot faster.
    All of the above are a bit work in progress still tho.
    examples:
    -bangarang
    -kmail2
    -dolphin and ctrl+f2 runner searches

  • Quicktime ..... does anyone actually use it ?

    Well, I have to use it because a client has requested a copy of a 60 minute short film as a quicktime movie.
    Now let me begin by saying that I have this as both a divx and a wmv file at full resolution (720x405) and for the most part it looks virtually uncompressed. It looks great, almost identical to the vob off of a dvd i created. SO, near dvd quality.
    Here's my findings trying to make a quicktime i can upload to an ftp server, rendering out of after effects 7.0 and with quicktime pro installed (the latest version)
    Sorenson movie at a huge 40mb looks so riducously compressed its laughable .... it almost looks like the movie was 1/10th of the proper resolution and then scaled up to make one big huge blocky mess. Some shots you can't even make out whats in the frame and what the picture is, let alone any detail.
    90MB cinepak compressed mov is also unbelievably blocky, unacceptably so. Also, if theres a moving camera or stuff moving in frame sometimes bits of it don't move as if the compression algorithms are trying to prevent portions of the frame moving. Settings are medium quality (obviously high quality and you'd be looking at something like a 500mb file !!!! thats 5 times bigger than the dvd vob i created !)
    A full resolution mp4 file came out at 60mb and its still not as good looking as the divx and wmv encoded files.
    An H.264 first of all removes all the contrast from the movie so it looks all milky... and then its 59mb. But here's the real clanger, thats at half resolution, a measly 360x200. Pathetic. What is H.264 ??? Technology from the dark ages ?
    A half size mpeg 4 file with data rate limited to 500K comes out at the same filesize as the full resolution one !!!! i.e. 60mb .. and its still not a patch quality wise on the 25mb windows counterparts.
    I will continue testing but please in the meantime, if there is some secret to thsi quicktime nonsense then do let me know.
    kind regards

    How large in file size are your divx or WMP files?
    Don't use Sorenson 3 included with QT Pro (they sell a "Pro" version that includes more options).
    The Cinepak codec is nearly 15 years old. It's only included to maintain some backward compatibility.
    If you use H.264 you can achieve great looking results. But since you're trying to compress an hour (of video and audio, 13GB in DV format and probably close to 1GB in your divx file) into a file size you can upload via FTP you're compressing too much.
    Convert the file using H.264 at its current size to an .mp4 or .mov file and burn it to CD (if it will fit) or DVD and mail it to your client. I send DVD's in mail (costs about $.84 in postage) all the time.

  • Does any actually use Pert view?

    The Pert view seems to very hard to organize activities especially when you're working with a couple hundred of them. Does anyone actually use the Pert view, and why do you use it instead of the bar chart? Is Pert better for small projects that don't have many activities?

    Mike M ,
    Under most circumstances we do not use a "pert" formatted chart. They are cumbersome with larger projects but every once in a while a stakeholder has a preference for that particular "look". It all depends on the way the project manager or lead is used to working with his or her schedules.
    I find them useful in the planning stages of putting a schedule together.
    hope this helps,

  • Anyone upgrade to Snow Leopard and runs CS3 or CS4?

    Hi all. I'm looking to upgrade my Mac from tiger to snow leopard, but I wanted to make sure there weren't any problems beforehand. Has anyone upgraded to Snow Leopard? Have you had any problems running CS3 or CS4 since?
    Thanks.

    Works fine for me on a 2008 unibody MBP. Only a couple bugs that I can live -- neither affect workflow or CS4 functionality.
    A) As with Leopard, some programs have an issue with closing. About half the time when you close Ai or Dw the program closes fine -- then it tells you it crashed. A bit annoying, but I just go ahead and send the error report, dosent affect much, although if you've changed any preferences they might get lost. Adobe's prob gotten several hundred crash reports from me on that one :∫
    B) Occasionally when you switch from one app to another and you try to go back it only will switch only when you click the icon on the bottom -- otherwise the app you want will just switch back to the other app -- I think it's a snow leopard bug, but seems to affect Flash and AE. Very rarely however.
    I've been using Snow Leopard w/ CS4 since release day for prob 14 hours a day 6 days a week and these are my observations.
    Go for it dude, you'll love 10.6 -- Use CCC before that way if it's not functioning properly you can aways go back.
    It should be noted, I have not tested any third party plug-ins yet. After Effects by itself 9.0.2 has no issues that I can tell.

  • How to upgrade from PowerPC G4 w/1GB using CS2 to Mac Pro w/2GB running CS3

    Hello. I have a Mac PowerPC G4 with 1GB of RAM and I'm running OS X 10.4.11. I'm using CS2 ver 9.0.2.
    I have a new Mac Pro with 2GB of RAM and I'm running OS X v10.5.2.
    I would like to run CS3 on my new Mac Pro.
    Could anyone guide me in accomplishing this? I'd like to buy the upgrade to CS3 of course.
    I can't figure out how to do this because of course I want to just load CS3 on the new computer but I want to pay for just the upgrade. And, if I buy the upgrade, I'm not sure my old computer will run CS3.
    Thanks,
    Deena

    Deena,
    In addition to the previous comments, before you do this though, I recommend that you put more RAM in your computers (particularly the G4) so they don't choke trying to run CS3, your operating system, and whatever else you have running. Also check your hard drive free space, particularly on your older Mac, so that you have scratch disk space and place to store at least some of your images.
    And in preparation for the CS3 installation (which is really quite easy), be sure you boot off the System Disk and use Disk Utility to repair permissions and the disk and boot off the DiskWarrior disk and run repairs as well. Repeat repair permissions after the installation. These maintenance routines will help insure that your new CS3 runs well.
    You will find that you have both CS2 and CS3 on your drive. You can safely uninstall CS2 if you wish.
    If you have questions about any of this, please get back to us.

  • Every time a new window in safari opens, it takes about 2 minutes before I can actually use it.  Can anyone help?

    Every time a new safari window opens, it takes several minutes before I can actually use it.  This seems to have started after the most recent updates.  I have reloaded the operating system, but the problem persists.  Ideas?

    Found the problem  Plug-ins (extensions?)  I had loaded were not compatable with latest update.  Once they were deleted, sfari runs fine.  Hope this helps others

  • Does anyone here use Network Solutions? (shared hosting)

    I've been attempting to link to my mySQL database through the Dreamweaver interface for the purpose of writing web-based applications. I consistently get an error that indicates that some problem exists but is not specific. A colleague suggested that permission set on the mySQL server might not allow REMOTE accept to the database schema. I called Network Solutions and got a somewhat tenuous reply that perhaps their shared hosting services won't allow me to use Dreamweaver in this fashion.
    Does anyone here actually use Network Solutions (in other than a VPS-mode) and is successful in connecting to their mySQL database?
    (NOTE: I am able to get the phpMyAdmin application running on the Network Solutions server to connect and display the contents of the database. But the mySQL GUI applications connect and give some information but to date have not allowed me to the see the full extent of the databse information the way phpMyAdmin does.)
    Any suggestions for which ISPs do allow a successful connection would be appreciated. I am told too that many folks run a local version of PHP/mySQL on their Macs (which is what I am using) and do their work locally. Has this been the predominate mode of working for most of you?

    generally most people use a local testing server to do their work.  the easiest way to do this on your mac is MAMP. http://www.mamp.info/en/downloads/index.html
    Although macs do come ready to support php/mysql, it will make you're life much easier using mamp.  simply start it up and apache php mysql are all ready to rock.  test your pages in the htdocs folder and connect to mysql using the localhost connection (and make sure you pay attention to the ports... use 3306 if confusion sets in).
    as for connecting remotely to a database, yes it can be done... i do it all the time with my hosting (that is not NS), and you're have to do it that way if you're working on a sql server database / asp from your mac.  but for now, i'd just work locally.
