Current Status of Creative Suite 3 and Snow Leopard?

I currently have both CS3 Web Design Premium (which includes Photoshop) and Adobe InDesign CS3... both suites essentially comprising all the apps and features of the standard CS3 Suite plus web design.
I know this has been discussed before, but I am assuming that further additional testing and usage has continued... and problems are being solved or not. And in the end an overall opinion or judgment has been reached regarding upgrading Leopard to Snow Leopard. I've been waiting it out to see what the outcome would be.
My Mac is the intel chip 24" Alum. 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Is the CS3 suite compatible with Snow Leopard? If not, what will be the cost or loss in terms of the applications? And, is it worth upgrading to it?
Experienced and knowledgeable feedback is very welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks.. have decided not to touch it. You make this kind of investment into software, you are not looking to have to compromise with erratic unpredictable software which in turn burns your time and patience.
Adobe's position is definitely unfortunate unfriendly and unappreciative. It's the arrogance towards what they have developed and a denial of the kind of investment it took to get into their software. The least they could have done was to offer a generous discount for upgrading.
Thanks for taking the time to respond. And here's to don't fix what's not broken

CS 3 is sort of compatible, but if you are using CS 3 for your livelihood, then stay with Leopard.
For example, Photoshop CS 3 functions adequately for a time, but ultimately starts to show erractic errors, then crashes. Also, excessive memory usage builds the longer it is used.
Adobe has stated it only supports CS 4 and 5 with Snow Leopard. I doubt further modifications will be made by Adobe to CS 3 to iron out the Snow Leopard incompatibilities. Rather unfortunate position, and certainly not a customer friendly approach, especially for anyone investing over $1,000 for software only 3 years old.
To add further fuel to the fire, CS 3 apps now crash in 10.6.3 due to Serial Number/API changes, "unforseen" by all parties.

Adobe CS compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6?

I have an IMac running OS 10.4.11 and would like to finally upgrade to Snow Leopard. Is Adobe CS (the original as in illustrator version 11) compatible with Snow Leopard? I want to make sure my entire creative suite will work before I upgrade. I can't afford to update my adobe suite too.

I was using CS2 when I upgraded to Snow Leopoard, and while it worked, it didn’t work great. It was unstable (InDesign crashed repeatedly), and anytime I tried to do anything in Photoshop that changed all the pixels in a large image (i.e. gaussian blur, despeckle, etc.), it took forever. If you don’t plan on upgrading to CS5 anytime soon, you might want to keep a separate partition with Tiger, just to run Adobe CS1/2/whatever.

Is iMovie 6.03 HD compatible with Snow Leopard

I've read too many posts indicating difficulties with an upgrade to Snow Leopard but probably just as many from people who have had success. I'm always slow to update operating systems however it seems like more and more applications require Leopard (or SL) to run. I'm still on Tiger, love it, but am forced to upgrade in order to run current apps. My biggest concern is for iMovie 6.03 which I will never give up for the lame versions of imovie that succeeded it. So my question is, is iMovie 6.03HD compatible with Snow Leopard or would I be better served just to go to Leopard in order to run these newer apps?

I still use iMove HD from iLife 06. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and it runs great for me. I use iPhoto, iDVD, & iMovie all from the iLife 06 Suite.
I do so because it just works. I constantly use the Timeline format, and within that form I easily trim, add sound effect, adjust volume, and other sound and audio modifications.
I will keep using it for as long as it's compatible.
I may get the next upcoming iLife suite because I want to better organize photos in iPhoto.

My Snow Leopard 10.6.3 has Safari 4.0.4 but this cannot be used for the new features of iTune. I tried upgrading to Safari 5.1.7 but it needs Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Where can I get a version of Safari 5.1 that is compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6.3?

Not possible. You need to update to v10.6.8
Click your Apple menu > Software Update
Or update using the this download > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Then restart your Mac.

FC Studio 2 compatible with Snow Leopard?

H there,
I am in the process of buying a new computer, upgrading from a G4. I use Final Cot Studio 2 (with FCP6) and wonder, if this is compatible with snow leopard. I tired to find an answer on this, but a lot of people seemed to have problems when they install snow leopard. In my case, it would be installing Final Cut from the CD's and them upgrading to the latest version. Ideally, I would like to wait and not buy FCP7 yet. Can anyone advice me on the compatibility?
Many thanks,
Anita

From what I've read, it is important to install FCP 6 and all updates from the original install discs over a clean install of SL.
Problems seem to arise with upgrade installs.
Hope this helps.

Is adobe photoshop lightroom 2.0 compatible with snow leopard (10.6) ?

adobe photoshop lightroom 2.0 compatible with snow leopard (10.6) ?

The official line is yes. However, some users have experienced some problems. Whether these are due to incompatibility or problems resulting from the upgrade process is not yet clear.
The only acknowledge issue relates to Edit in Photoshop command not transferring images for Photomerge or as Smart Objects.
Note: Except for above, I'm running Lr 2.4 on a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard without issue.

Is DVD Studio Pro 4 compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

Is DVD Studio Pro 4 compatible with Snow Leopard? Project burns fine, simulates fine, works on my two macs (mac pro & macbook pro networked) but when I put the dvd in to a dvd played hooked to a tv it doesn't recoginize it and says "this disc connot be played"!

It's your set top DVD player that won't play the disk... That or it's the type of disk that you're using.
Make sure it's a DVD-R. That's a MINUS.
They pretty much work in all set top DVD players.
The reason your computers play the dvd's is simply because your computer knows what to do with all types of media. Something else to consider could be the optical read capability on your computer is better than that of your DVD player. Perhaps the DVD is a poor quality disk. You computer can read it because it has a higher quality optical pickup unit.
First things first, take your DVD to a place that sells DVD players and try it in a new player. That'll tell you whether or not the disk actually works.

Is Microsoft Office 2004 compatible with Snow Leopard?

I am just about to buy a new MacBook Pro and would like to transfer the Microsoft Office 2004 programme & all my Word/powerPoint/Excel files from my old MacBook (OS 10.4.11). One local vendor tells me MS2004 is not compatible with Snow Leopard and I have to spend c$250 to buy the Office 2008 version. Another says they are compatible and I can easily transfer. It is important to me as I need to use the Office for my work.
1.Which is correct?
2. And are there an significant advantages to the new 2008 Office version which would encourage me to upgrade and spend $250?

Hi a:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I have been running Microsoft Office 2004 for quite awhile. On my system, it runs just fine. I use both Word and Excel and it does read PowerPoint presentations.
I have read the posts on the Apple Store part of this site and have shied away from Office 2008 because of some negative feedback. Functionally, I could not see any difference from the written material. Since Office 2004 was working just fine, I did not buy the 2008 product.

Where can I get a version of Aperture compatible with Snow Leopard?

I have Snow Leopard (10.6) on my iMAC and I did not upgrade to Lion as it is good enough for what I do with my iMAC.
Unfortunately, the Aperture version available in the App Store recommends MAC OS 1.7 or later.
Is there a previous version of Aperture, which is compatible with Snow Leopard (10.6), still available?
If so, where can I get it?
Thank you in advance to the Apple community.
Philippe

As keith alluded to if you stay with SL and get a version of Aperture that runs on it you will be locked into that. There will be no more updates for Aperture or the Raw Camera bundle.
So if that version of Aperture supports your camera and you have no plans to change cameras to something that is not supported in that version then you will be fine.
If you think you might be getting a new camera at some point then you might just want to bit the bullet and do the upgrades now.
regards

Is my Imac compatible with Snow Leopard?

Hi, I have been reading through the posts trying to find a solution for the strange things my computer is doing (or rather, NOT doing) since I installed Snow Leopard.
I read that SL is not compatible with all machines... Could anyone tell me if my machine DOES qualify? Could an "incompatability" be the source of my computer strangeness?
When I click on "About this Mac" I am told I have "Mac OS X Version 10.6" (but it does not specify which version of 10.6). Is that normal?
My Hardware Overview is :
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac6,1

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT!!!

Could an "incompatability" be the source of my computer strangeness?
Most definitely. Quite a few applications & other kinds of software are compatible with one version of an OS but not with the next. Without a clue about what kind of "strangeness" you are experiencing, it is hard to make specific recommendations, but you should make sure everything you have installed that did not come from Apple is the most up-to-date version offered & known to be compatible with Snow Leopard.

Is FCX HD compatible with Snow Leopard?

Just upgraded to a new iMac and I have a need to use FCXHD for a project that iMovie won't handle (syncing multiple video tracks). I haven't been using FCXHD for awhile now I need to install on the new iMac. Is it compatible with snow leopard? I ready to buy the upgrade but wouldn't mind saving $99. Plus, when I originally purchased FCXHD they released FCX4 the following week...sigh. LOL
Thanks,
Bob

Only the current version is supported on Snow Leopard.

Is mountain lion compatible with snow leopard?

is mountain lion compatible with snow leopard? can you use the same version of iTunes

VMware and Toaster can be upgraded to versions that will run on Mountain Lion.
I was not able to find anything on PalmPilot for Mountain Lion. Of course seeing as how it is at least 15 years old that doesn't surprise me.
As I see you want to run two operating systems which means rebooting to use them just for PalmPilot. IMHO that is a lot of effort on your part for a very small gain.

I see you have not yet marked your topic "Answered", so perhaps you are hoping for other input.

It works fine on both my Snow Leopard (SL) Macs.
... or would I be better served just to go to Leopard in order to run these newer apps?
As concerned as you are, and as important as iMovie6 seems to be to you, unless you must use some of the new apps or OS features that require upgrading, you might be better served by continuing to use your existing and proven reliable Tiger OS.
Your next Mac will come with the OS that maximizes its performance. Until then, you save at least $169(US), and keeping the Tiger OS that you KNOW works eliminates all of you worries.
