MacBook Black Adobe CS3 Suite

How well does the MacBook Black handle the Adobe CS3 Suite?
I prepare large documents for different groups (some being as many as 50 pages) and operate InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and a Word Processor all at the same time.
My largest concern is that I have to have some of the images I get in High Quality Display. With that alone CS2 will run slower and with the other two or three programs running on the Powerbook G4 I currently use, using CS2 and CS seems to work a lot better than CS3.
I know it probably has to do with the RAM, but will the RAM be able to handle this software system?
Thanks!

Yea that has all mainly to do with RAM and CPU, so MacBook is fine. 2GB recommended, but 4GB if you can afford it does things best.

  • Adobe CS3 Suite -- How to Get InDesign and Acrobat Pro to Install?

    I uninstalled and deactivated my Adobe CS3 Design Premium from my 1st gen Macbook (2006) and installed it on my 3rd gen Macbook Air (2011). When I installed CS3 using the original discs, InDesign and Acrobat did not install properly. How to fix?
    My questions:
    1. Got any ideas how to install InDesign and Acrobat Pro without uninstalling the whole CS3, running the cleaner tool, and reinstalling everything again? I tried to rerun the installer just for InDesign and Acrobat Pro but I got the same result -- no install.
    2. Installing CS3 takes forever -- at least several hours. Is it because I'm sending it over my wireless network? (I'm "sharing" the DVD drive on my other Macbook because my Air doesn't have one.)
    Thanks so much!!
    (More background, in case it's useful -- before installing CS3, I had run the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to clean up the mess I made when I tried to migrate CS3 using Mac's migration assistant. I learned, thanks to this forum, that I couldn't use the Migration Assistant tomove CS3. I also found that the unistaller didn't transfer, so I manually deleted folders and then used the cleaner. It worked wel enough to allow me to install everything but InDesign and Acrobat Pro.)

    Thanks Jeff (and Manish). I'm all for better reliability and a quicker installation.
    This may seem like a dumb question, but how do I properly copy the CS3 install files onto a USB? Drag and drop everythng from the CD? Can I not just copy the files onto my desktop and install from there? That is what I thought Manish suggested, to install from the desktop.
    I had tried this method. After copying the install files to the desktop, here's what happened: I clicked the setup application and it opened, but it immediately detected that I had CS3 installed and wouldn't let me go any further. Perhaps that was due to other problems resulting from use of the Migration Assistant.
    Previously, when I used the install disk on the shared drive, I was able to open the setup and install the couple of CS3 programs that weren't installed the first time around. That installation attempt failed and led me here to my original post.
    Many thanks!

  • MacBook and Adobe CS3

    I'm considering buying a new MacBook and was curious if anyone has used any of the Adobe CS3 apps on one? If so, how does the MacBook handle them? I'd really appreciate any responses. Thanks!

    I believe if you check the licensing your only allowed it on one machine. You may not be able to activate a second copy.

  • Adobe CS3 Extended - problem w Bridge - picture displayed wrong in Horrizontal Filmstrip mode

    Recently started have problems with Adobe Bridge (CS3 Extended) after it did an automatic update from Adobe for my CS3. The problem is that the panel where the picture appears in "Horrizontal Filmstrip" is now positioned to the far right - partially off the screen; plus, whatever action done previously is showing through the panel area where the picture should have been. Doing "refresh" does not help.
    Tried to reinstall the whole program but the problem did not go away.  Then uninstalled the whole Adobe CS3 suite (which includes Bridge); then reloaded the probram; and, then the problem went away. As soon as I downloaded the updates from Adobe again, the problem reappeared. Anyone no what to do?

    Did you try to reset the preferences by holding down the ctrl key and starting Bridge?   You will get a reset window, choose all 3 options.
    A re-install will not affect this file so if contaminated before it will be contaminated after.
    Also, make sure you have the latest video driver, as this affects the filmstrip mode.

  • Adobe CS3 Compatibility with Yosemite

    I own Adobe's CS3. I run it on a 27 inch 2010 Intel IMac with OS 10.6.8. I want to upgrade to Yosemite, but I need to know that Adobe CS3 will run on Yosemite. I have been unable to get a direct answer from Adobe.

    I am also running the Adobe CS3 suite & I just upgraded to Yosemite yesterday (Dec. 26, 2014) from Snow Leopard 10.6.8. So I really went for it with this upgrade, of course, taking all the necessary preparations like backups & researching potential problems.
    After the upgrade I clicked to run Photoshop & was prompted for the upgrade to Java link just like Eau Rouge indicated. I downloaded it & have been able to run the CS3 programs (Dreamweaver, InDesign, Illustrator & yes even Flash) with no problems thus far.
    I am really going to put Photoshop through its paces today & if any issues arise, I will repost back in this forum. But so far all is good. Hope this information helps!

  • Can you install Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on a 2012 Macbook Air running Lion?

    Can you install Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on a 2012 Macbook Air running Lion?

    Are you talking about adobe creative cloud? 
    If you are, the Adobe Creative Cloud give you most of Adobe's tools (and all that most would need) to do anything.  I will warn you about this though, is that it is a subscription, and you are basically renting it.  that means you really do not own it.
    About the hard disk space, all Adobe apps seem to take up at least a GB (and this does not matter if you get the master collection or the Creative Cloud).  so ether way, it will take some space. 
    Also, if you want to try-before-you-buy, you can go to creative.adobe.com, and get a free account and try out all of he adobe apps available for creative cloud.  The best part of it, your apps will be updated to CS7 (if or when it comes out) instead of buying the apps again in your subscriptions.  if you need even more information, you can go to adobe's site to find out more (www.adobe.com)

  • Adobe creative suite cs3 design premium

    Hi there,
    I've recently bought the new macbook pro (10.9.2) and was wondering if the ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE CS3 DESIGN PREMIUM software would still work on the new laptop? If anybody could help me, it would be most appreciated.
    Regards,
    Amy

    I just had a look at some of the Adobe CS3 products at Roaring Apps (http://roaringapps.com/apps?index=a) and it seems that most of the apps in the CS3 Design Premium Suite will, surprisingly, work with Mavericks.
    Not you'll just have to find a way to install it (unless you're restoring from a backup - in which case you'll probably still need your activation code).
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Constantly Crashing

    I've had Adobe Creative Suite 3 for awhile now (I mainly use Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Illustrator).  And nearly every day, one of my programs crashes while I'm using it.  I've attached a recent crash log below from Dreamweaver.  The crash occurs mainly in Dreamweaver and Illustrator, but it's happened in Photoshop, too.
    I've got 8GB of RAM.  I've attached a screenshot of my Activity Monitor while running Illustrator.
    Originally I installed CS3 on my MacBook Pro when I still had Snow Leopard.  Since then, I've upgraded to Mountain Lion and now I'm on Mavericks (I skipped Lion).  After getting frustrated at the constant problems, I completely deleted and re-installed CS3.  The problem still occurred. So finally, I completely reformatted my hard drive and did a clean install of Mavericks, then re-installed CS3.  STILL THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.  It makes me think that there might be a compatibility problem between Mavericks and CS3, but I would still like to resolve the problem if possible.
    Here is my most recent crash log from Dreamweaver if that helps.  Please HELP!!

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I heard CS simply doesn't work. Might want to check that statement though, its not from experience. From what I heard Quark 6, Virtual PC and CS all don't run, but like I say thats not from experience. I'd suggest using your old one until the Universal Binary is released...

  • How do I add Adobe Creative Suite to my MacBook Pro...?

    @Forgive me for asking what may be a really silly question.... but here goes..!
    I currently have the Adobe Creative Suite on my Mac desktop and now I'm wanting to add it to my new MacBook Pro.  How do I install all the apps without having to purchase them again?  I'm logged in and searching but guess I'm missing the info I need to do this.
    Thanks!

    Just install it like you normally would - like you did with your desktop.  You are allowed to have it installed and activated on two machines.  If you need to download it you might find a link for that thru your Adobe account online.
    Other download links might be available thru...

  • Adobe CS3 Upgrade on 2.4 GHz MacBook Pro

    I am planning to purchase the new generation MacBook Pro in about a month.
    My question is about Adobe CS3. I currently use CS2 on an older G4 PowerBook because I could not deal with the performance dip on the older MacBook Pro (1.83 GHz with 512MB RAM). So I have a licensed copy of CS2 for PPC. If I buy the Upgrade Version of CS3 at a much reduced price, will the transition to Universal work on a MacBook Pro? No more Rosetta? Performance problems solved?
    I realize Rosetta probably struggled with my previous MacBook's speed and lack of RAM. But I don't want to go through that hair-pulling again. I don't get into that advanced PhotoShop, etc. of CS3 but I'm willing to upgrade just to have it Universal and be more reliable. And, of course, I'd like to save the $800 on having to buy the Full Version of the software.
    Thanks everyone for your feedback.
    By the way, I had the same performance issue with MS Office for Mac. Almost 30 seconds to open Word! Anyone know if this becomes a non-issue with newer Macbook Pros??
    1.8 PowerPC G5 3GB DDR SDRAM Mac OS X (10.3.9)

    Your problem your your previous MBP was simply RAM. 512MB when trying to use CS2 products is simply insanity. If you opt for a new MBP with the standard 2GB, better still with an upgrade to 4GB, then CS3 will perform extremely well. RAM us hugely important and one of the biggest bottlenecks in today's hardware and software requirements.

  • How do I install a purchased CD of Adobe Creative suite onto a new 2013 Macbook Pro?

    Dear Apple Community,
    I recently purchased a 2013 Macbook Pro, and I was not aware that it was going to be difficult reinstalling Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 onto this computer, since the Suite is from a CD I purchased a little over a year ago. I would like to know how I can reinstall the adobe creative suite 5.5 onto this laptop which doesn't have a CD slot built into it? Is there a way I can contact adobe and just download the suite and provide my serial number without having to purchase. Keep in mind, I'm a student. How do I get adobe on this laptop?
    Thanks!

    Most Adobe products are identical between downloaded and physical media, requring their registration keys to enable them.
    You can try downloading a trial version from Adobe, if available, or here and then you would authorize it with your serial number.
    If you need to install it from disc, you can simply purchase the Apple external USB SuperDrive or try to find someone that has one.

    You can't one way or the other. Serial numbers are platform specific and platform swaps only apply to current  versions, meaning you have to upgrade to CS6 and make the switch.
