Is it posiible to install FCS 3 on a brand new iMac (with topped specs)? It will come with Mavericks and that might be an issue....

I'm wondering if it is even possible to install the FCS 3 on brand new out-of-the-box Mavericks OS.... I need FCP 7 for my work. I allready installed FInal Cut Studio 3 on my Mavericks MacBook Air, but that OS was an updated one, from the previos version. It works greate (rendering is a nightmare though :-)).
The thing is that i have read meny post about People unable to Install Finac Cut Studio 3 on a brand new - not updated - Mavericks....
Will i I be able to install Final Cut Studio 3 on a brand new iMac with Mavericks out-of-the-box?

Yes,
I have friends who have FCS 2009 (aka FCS 3) running on 10.9 machines from fresh installs.
Be aware that if you use a third party output device (Kona, Decklink, MXO, etc) you must have the updated drivers as well.
One friend had such issues with his Blackmagic Intensity card in a MacPro that he went back to an earlier OSX to find stability.

Can't install photoshop cs6 on brand new iMac - "Media db error: 18"

At my company we recently hired a web designer – given his insistence on using the Adobe software, we decided to give Photoshop a try.
We downloaded a trial version and tried to install it on the brand new iMac (no previous installations of adobe stuff) we just bought for the new desigher, but... it's not even installing!
The installation process halts at around 2% and an error screen appears which gives generic instructions ("restart your computer and retry") and points to a log file where one can read "Media db error: 18".
Of course we tried restarting the computer, cleaning up ~/Library, re-downloading the installer... no good – we then downloaded and run an adobe cleanup utility... still no good.
Some people on the internet report they have the same problem... we found several questions on the matter, but no answer (besides "restart your computer" and other generic stuff that we tried and does not work).
We then called Adobe support (Italian support) and they told us they don't give support for trial versions, like we should sight unseen buy a (pricey!) software we can't even install! .
Can anyone here help?

Thanks for your help!
No, no beta or previous installations of any Adobe products – we are trying to install to a brand new iMac (just bought last week from the store): it has the latest version of everything (Os: Lion 10.7.4)
Is there any debug switch I can turn on on the installer to get further information on what's going wrong? ("media db error" is a somewhat laconic error message)

Can I install OS9 on a Brand new iMac to run Photoshop 6.0.1?

Hi there;
Today I purchased a brand new iMac. I have been installing my old applications and found that I cannot install Photoshop 6.0.1. The following is the message shown:
"You cannot open the application "Install Adobe Photoshop 6.0.1" because it is not supported on this system"
My old iMac is a G3 and runs on a Panther. Can I install Mac OS 9 on this new Mac so that I can install Photoshop 6.0.1? If yes, how can I do it?
Regards.

Hi KP4ABC;
Since the official position of Adobe is that they are no longer supporting PS 7 at all, I would think your chances with PS 6 are right up there with the snowball in that hot place. In order to get anything that works with any reliability you will have to upgrade, probably to PS CS3.
I have to say that PS CS3 is a significant upgrade over PS 7 which is as far back as I go with Photoshop.

MEGA ISSUES INSTALLING CIV IV on brand new iMac running Windows 7!

So, ya. Basically, my father got a brand spanking new iMac (Second least expensive level currently on the Apple Store). He runs Windows 7 through BootCamp on it because he needs it for his work. So, taking full advantage of that fact, I set myself up an account on the Windows side and tried to install Civilization 4.
Everything went fine, until....
It froze halfway through installing and I had to power down the computer. Upon rebooting I tried again. To my surprise, after putting the "Install CD" in I saw that the "play" button had replaced the "install" option (why am I putting quote marks around those two words?) Anyhow, I clicked the play button and it was all like "BLAH BLAH BLAH FOLDERS CANNOT BE LOCATED!".
So I searched through the computer's hard drive and deleted 3 empty folders, the only Civilization 4 folders that came up when I searched for the game...
Then, I tried again. No luck. Now after clicking play nothing at all happens.....
Help?

Hi,
maybe this one can help http://www.2kgames.com/civ4/support_install.htm
I also noted that Windows 7 (neither 32-bit nor 64-bit) is mentioned in the system requirements of Civ IV as compatible.
So maybe that can also be the cause.
Hope it helps

Error Message after installing Photoshop & Illustrator (CS2) on new iMac

When I launch Illustrator or Photoshop (both CS2) on my new iMac 2.8 GHz, I get the error message: "Connection Failed. server may not exist or is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again."
I click OK and they open, but this behavior is getting OLD. I've uninstalled and re-installed and I continue to get the error every time I open these applications. It only happens with Illustrator and Photoshop. I'm in the process of transferring all my files and apps from my old G4 which is connected via ethernet. I've de-activated and removed the old copies on the G4. Does anyone know what is causing this error message and how I can remedy the situation? Thanks for your help.
(24" 2.*GHz Core 2 Duo iMac / OS 10.5.6 / 2 GB memory)

I've just done almost exactly this. Moved to a brand new imac runnning Leopard, (but I've got the newer model imac - 4Gb, 2.93 Ghz 10.5.6) and not yet bought CS4.
I installed both Illustrator and Photoshop CS2 from the disc (migrating didn't work, suprise suprise so I just wiped everything off and started with a clean install) but both still refused to start until I'd repaired permissions. After I did that it worked fine.
Even using Rosetta, Photoshop CS2 seems to be faster than on the G5 imac I've just replaced (especially using an external firewire 800 drive as a scratch disc). And no apparent bugs so far.

How do I uninstall Mavericks and recover Lion? I have a brand new iMac and web pages stall or freeze since I installed Mavericks. I can't get it to download software for my printer when I connect it.

I have a brand new iMac. It was working fine until I downloaded Mavericks. Now I have web pages that freeze while trying to load. The blue in the address bar stalls and freezes. If I try to load from page 1 to a later page, or reverse that, I also have the same problem. I tried to connect my printer for the first time, and again, the blue progress bar froze. Then I got the yellow triangle telling me there was a connection problem. My internet connection is via an Air Card as that is my only option where I live. I packed up the whole new iMac and took it to my Air Card provider, where they also have very fast Wifi, and they had the same problem with Wifi. I use my Air Card with my MacBook and it works JUST GREAT! I really want to return to Lion. HELP.

The only way to retutn to Lion is to format your drive (erase, lose all) and either:
1. clone back the clone copy i hoep you have, or
2. first backup your files, then format and install Lion again
But really, mavericks works great. You have a problem. Find out why. First, what unusual software do oyu have installed that may be conflicting with it? Virus, system modifiers, etc? Second what OLD software do you have that might be the problem. finally, you might need to do a re-install if something errored during install.

Brand new iMAC, Mountain Lion installed, dashboard widgets will not download. Webpage times out. Any suggestions?

Just purchased a brand new iMAC and sucessfully performed download and install of Mountain Lion (free upgrade). Discovered that dashboard widgets will not download as webpage times_out in both Safari and Firefox. Already set security to allow downloads from 'anywhere' but with no change. Downloads from anywhere else works fine, just widgets won't work, and I've been trying for several days now. Any suggestions? (firewall is off).

Brand new imac i5 21.5" wifi says "no hardware installed"

I just bought a brand new imac i5 21.5 inches running osx 10.8.2 and minutes after having everything working, wifi stopped working and gave me a "no hardware installed" message on the wifi icon on the top right corner of my tool bar... I'm extremelly upset with it... can't find a solution anywhere. I tried to boot with wireless keyboard and mouse off and it didn't make a difference. Please Apple I need a solution! The computer is fresh out of the box! This is unacceptable.

Hi Michael Smith 677;
I suggest you take it back and allow Apple to repair it. There is no sense in you attempting to fix when it is brand new that is what they are there to do.

How do I install Adobe CC on my new iMac?

How do I install Adobe CC on my new iMac? It was on my old iMac (still is).

Works the same way. Download the CC app and install it, then take it from there after signing in. Sign out on the old machine, if you no longer use it.
