Latest info on compatibility issues OSX 10.6 and Adobe CS3

I have had CS3 for some time.  It cost an arm and a leg and does exactly what I need - improvements to later versions do not really impact me or improve the performance of my work with this program, so I want to keep what I have and what I know how to use really well.  However, when Snow Leopard came out there was a lot of probs with compatibility, and Adobe said they would not support CS3 on Snow Leopard.  I have updated 10.5 as far as I can.  Now Leopard is so old I am starting to have probs with internet, I cannot access more recent versions of browsers I need, etc.  So is anyone out there using Snow Leopard with CS3 and can you tell me what the issues are - I mainly use Photoshop and Illustrator.  Do I have to take my mac off line to continue to work with CS3 or dare I update to Snow Leopard?  Can anyone help me?

Have you ever tried it with Snow Leopard? CS2 and CS4 both work fine with it, so it is hard to believe that CS3 would not. Clone your system to an external drive using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner and then upgrade the clone to Snow Leopard. Order the 10.6.3 disk from Apple and then upgrade to 10.6.8 using the combo updater. Once you are on Snow Leopard, you can use the Firefox browser, which is up to date and runs on 10.6 and above.

  • Need advice on Upgrading to OSX 10.5 and Adobe CS3

    Hi everyone,
    My wife is a graphic designer she runs her G5 on Tiger. She's been using CS2 for years, she now wants to move to CS3.
    I was wondering if I could have some feedback from you guys using Tiger with CS3.
    In your opinion, is the upgrade to Leopard + CS3 worth it?
    Thanks for your inputs
    D

    Hi, I have CS3 Design Premium, works in both 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 on my G4s & my G5 Quad.
    As far as Tiger vs, Leopard, depends on several things, I prefer Tiger actually, but if you have need of Internet & Security, iPhones, iPad, new Apple KBs or pointing devices, the 10.5 is needed.
    If it's strictly for Design, I'd stick with Tiger.

  • Compatibility issues with CS5.5 and Maverick 10.9

    I'd like to know if there are any compatibility issues with CS5.5 and Maverick 10.9 before I upgrade from 10.6.8.

    To be honest, I use the CS5 Premium Creative Suite and have had to upgrade all my app's to Mavericks because I have a new iMac, the other one just died.
    I used the 'Time Machine' to backup and to transfer all the files, the Mac apps almost transferred 100% but not all successfully, especially iDVD, it was probably something that I did not click in the 'Time Machine preferences'.
    If I had the choice, upgrade to 'Mountain Lion, I would revert back to Mountain Lion but not got the discs, I find Mavericks very clunky and slow and causing lots of issues with my Adobe applications.
    So if it is not too late, I would wait a few months before upgrading to Mavericks.
    Hope this info' has helped.

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter  plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter  plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in to work with Visio 2013?

    For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
    For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

  • Known backwards compatibility issues between Robohelp 9 and Robohelp 8?

    Hi Group,
    In addition to avoiding the tasks in the Review menu, does anyone know of any other backwards compatibility issues encountered while opening and using files generated in RoboHelp 9 from within Robohelp 8? Thanks, gail

    Welcome to the forum.
    Simply the fact that RoboHelp 8 will not open a project that has been run in RoboHelp 9. Sure you might well open a project by deleting the CPD and perhaps the XPJ and using the HHP, however I would not recommend that except in an emergency.
    What I am not clear on is how you link that to "avoiding the tasks in the Review menu." What has that got to do with the question?

  • Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 I'm having compatibility issues with my speakers and my iTunes wifi sync isn't working. Anyone else having the same problems?

    Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 I'm having compatibility issues with my speakers / docking station and my iTunes wifi sync isn't working. Anyone else having the same problems? Both worked fine until the update...

    Okay. I got it working again by setting it up as a new phone instead of just syncing. Then I backed up. All is good today.

  • I am frequently unable to join the internet or it runs very slowly.  I have a Time Capsule in my LAN. Are there any compatibility issues with Time Capsules and any ISPs?

    I am frequently unable to join the internet or, if I can, it is exceptionally slow. The ISP says nothing is wrong ontheir end.  Are there any compatibility issues with any ISPs when using Time Capsule and/or iMacs?

    Tried this several times to no avail.  I believe it is the ISP causing the problem...Time Warner.

  • Compatibility issues between PS3.0 and Windows Vista

    Have PS3 for Windows XP. Have had it a while and it wouldn't load on my old computer because the harddrive didn't have enough space.  Now trying to load it on to HP Pavilion bought last spring.  When I tried to load it, I got the error window with: compatibility issues with this software.  Windows didn't find a solution.  Went to adobe.com and tried update for PS3.0 which I thought should work.  it said 3.0.1.  Won't work.  What am I missing?  Am I missing anything?  Will Adobe work as I want it to work?  As it's supposed to work?

    Well, it's not "supposed" to work in Vista. The earliest version of Elements that officially works in Vista is 5, with the special patch. However, some people have had success running earlier versions in XP compatibility mode.

    Hi gaiafromri,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having with your upgrade to Mavericks.  Check to see if the software is incompatible with this version of the operating system.  The correct version of Adobe Reader can be downloaded from their website.  What version of Final Cut Pro do you have?

  • Compatability issues with Windows 7 and Ipod Classic initially set-up w/ XP

    When I opened my iTunes account for my iPod Classic 2 years ago, I was using Windows XP and could download from iTunes Store or load my own CDs and then sync to my iPod.  Long story short: That computer crashed. I now use Windows 7 on both my new computers but while I can review the contents of my Classic, itTunes won't play any of the tracks when connected to my computer's USB.  Nor can I sync purchases or downloads.  Incidentally, attempts to review my Ipod in "computer" doesn't consistently show my iPod either.  I continually receive the same message telling me that "iTunes.exe has been set to run in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows.  For best results, turn off compatibility mode for iTunes before opening." I right clicked on iTunes, regarding compatibility, but it informs me that there are no previous versions available to do this.  My warranty for technical or phone support has expired, so I am unable to speak to a representative.  It sounds like other people are having similar problems with the newest version 11.1 of iTunes.  Has anyone worked their way around this?

    Hi anne274,
    I'm sorry to hear about your Dad.
    Since the music was originally ripped from CD, you should be able to put the iPod into disk mode http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363 and transfer the music into your library without loosing anything.
