Macromedia Studio 8 on Intel Mac

as a web developer i need to run these apps. anyone running this on their intel Mac?
is it slow? fast?

Recently being using Flash, Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash Video Encoder (all from Studio 8), seemed just as fast as my G5 PowerMac for most things, even the video encoding.

  • Will Macromedia studio 8 run on mac 10.6.8

    I want to buy a used version of Macromedia Studio 8 with flash, will it run on my Mac?  I have had it since 2007 and now have 10.6.8 on it?
    Thanks

    Looking briefly through this document, I would say yes.   However, in all circumstances you should contact the developer direct if something is not addressed properly.

  • Install Flash Studio 8 on Intel Mac

    I have been trying to install Flash from the Macromedia
    Studio 8 on my MacBook Pro. It gets almost done and has 190 files
    left and just hangs. I read some other threads and found that the
    problem was with the Extension Manager. So I downloaded the EM and
    tried to install that by itself but it will not install at all. It
    acts like it is installing. However it just says "Items remaining
    to be installed: 190". It says that it is searching my hard drive,
    but it just stays like that for as long as I let it try. I finally
    just click stop and close the installer. I have let it run for half
    an hour without change. Whatever it is doing, it certainly does eat
    up processor time.
    How can I get this installed?
    Thanks.

    Can you try to install without the extension manager? Then
    try to install the EM by itself after?

  • Final cut studio and intel macs

    How well will final cut studio run on the new intel macs that were announced today? thanks for the help!

    According to Apple the new intel machines will not run the current version of Final Cut Studio. You either have to wait until March when they release the Universal version or you can buy the suite now to run on your G4/G5 then get the Universal suite for $50 in March.

  • Does macromedia FLV export plugin work with macpro (intel macs)?

    i have a macpro, flash professional and quicktime pro. flash professional comes with a FLV quicktime plugin that lets you export to FLV from quicktime. the plugin is installed and is in the quicktime plugin folder but the export option does not appear in the export drop down.
    i have the same set up on a PPC mac and i have no problems with exporting FLVs from quicktime pro.
    i have the feeling that the plugin doesn't work on intel macs but don't know for sure. is there anyone here who is running an intel mac, quicktime pro and flash professional that can export to FLV from quicktime?
    i can't find any information anywhere on this.
    thanks

    anyone? there's got to be a few of you who have macpro's that are using quicktime pro and flash 8 professional....
    any help would be appreciated.

  • Macromedia Studio 8

    Hello,
    I bought Macromedia Studio 8 a few years back and have been very satisfied. I recently updated the OS on my Mac and now I am unable to install Studio 8 to my machine. What can I do?
    Thank you for the help,
    -Steffen

    As far as I recall Studio 8 was Mac ppc only, and required Rosetta to run on newer Intel based Macs. The newest two versions of MacOsX, including Mavericks, do not support Rosetta any longer, so your software will not run.
    Alternative option:
    open up a partition or buy a terabyte hard disk external and install a system from your original System Install Disks .  Then get your old Macromedia stuff and whatever emergency solutions you need up and running on that.
    Or you can try these steps, but they will not help you if Studio 8 is PPC only.
    And, of course, you can purchase the newest versions which will work.

  • Cannot launch any Macromedia Studio 8 apps on new MacBook Pro

    I've just migrated everything over to my new MacBook Pro from my old Powerbook. So far so good ... until I went to use Dreamweaver. I might see it bounce in the dock for less than a second and then it disappears - no error messages or anything. Ditto for other Studio 8 apps. I've tried installing an updater, I've tried reinstalling everything from scratch - the same thing happens for both.
    I've switched the activation over to this new machine for the Adobe CS (which all works fine other than Version Cue) so wonder if this is the issue, but I can't see where this can be done for Studio 8 apps and according to the licence I can have them installed on two machines anyway, provided I don't use them at the same time.
    According to the document Adobe have about support for Intel-based Macs these apps should work - even if with some issues with slowness. But not for me!
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks for that. So I just tried to repair disk permissions - there was nothing to repair and I'm still having the same problem. Also verified the disk to see if anything came up - all looks to be fine.
    According to Adobe the Macromedia apps should work with Intel Macs, just that they might be quite slow. Plus I've done some digging around and found reference to others running them okay.
    I've also just tried running a game to see what that would do. It's also old - Sim City 4 - but I've also read others saying it's slow, but definitely works on Intel Macs. However, for me it shows the same behaviour as the Macromedia apps - won't even start to load.
    I've contacted Macromedia for support now. Will post here if I get anywhere, but if anyone has other suggestions, they'd be gratefully received!

  • Studio Display 21" with Mac Mini?

    I am considering getting a Mac Mini as an economical upgrade to my B/W G3 system but I want to make sire that my monitor is going to work with it. I have the origingal blue and white 21" Studio Display. the System Profiler says this......
    Displays:
    Studio Display 21:
    Display Type: CRT
    Resolution: 1152 x 870 @ 75 Hz
    Depth: 32-bit Color
    Core Image: Not Supported
    Main Display: Yes
    Mirror: Off
    Online: Yes
    Quartz Extreme: Not Supported
    Will this display work with a new Mac Mini? I really do not have the $ right now to get a new Monitor and this one works great anyway. I am also wondering how my current software,,,,,,, Photoshop,Indesign etc. will work with the new Intel Macs?
    THanks for any input
    MyShunshyn

    Can't help on the screen much - believe you need to get an adapter, as the previous post indicated. You might check in the Apple dislay area at http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=111
    Regarding your applications, as long as you're not running under OS 9 or earlier, your applications will run on the Intel mini under Rosetta emulation. Universal applications are those that have been modified to run on both the PPC and Intel macs, and they run natively. Those applications that have not been made universal run under Rosetta emulation. Photoshop is an example of an application that has not been made universal yet (supposed to happen this year with Photoshop CS3). Running under emulation does extract a performance penalty, of up to 50%, versus running in native universal mode.
    If you have applications running under OS9 or in the OS X classic environment, you'll need to upgrade to an OS X version in order to run on the Intel-based mini, and you may find there are Universal versions of your software, which would be even better.

  • Using a MacBook Pro and Adobe CS2 and Macromedia Studio

    I was planning on buying a MacBook Pro. Right now my Dell desktop has a 2.4ghz Celeron and I really want to get my first Mac. I'm sick of Windows!! I was wondering how Studio and CS2 (especially Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and Flash Pro) will run under Rosseta on the 1.83ghz compared to my Celeron? And how much RAM will I need?
      Windows XP   Slow Celeron

    Cannot speak about CS2 for macs as I have only used it on Windows. When I bought my new mac I could only afford to buy one suite, so now I only use the Macromedia Studio package as this contains more of what I need. In particular it contains Fireworks (as a replacement for CS2) which is sufficient for the level of photo editing I need, plus I find it easier to create web graphics. Also I like the way it interacts with Dreamweaver and Flash sweetly. Maybe worth considering instead of CS2 if your budget is a little tight like mine was!
    Now, Performance. The loading times are between 4 and 8 seconds, depending on the number of other processes I have running, which for Adobe products is fairly comparible to Windows I seem to remember. When loaded I bearly notice any lag times at all - occasionly when you try and do too many things too quickly you get the classic beachball for a few seconds, but as long as you are a little more calm when using them they are perfect - as good as on Windows I'd say.
    Considering I have a 1.83 GHZ with only 1 GB RAM the performance left me very impressed. Can't wait for the Universal versions as they are going to be "screamers"!
    PS - people have posted differences in performance when using Rosetta apps when using the same spec machines. So what someone may say using the same machine as you may not actually be what you experience...

  • MPEG on Intel Mac

    I'm just wondering if anyone else has had issues playing .mpg
    files in authorware on an Intel Mac? When I try to play them I get
    and error about 'unable to load external movie driver'. These
    videos work find on non-Intel macs and they even play fine in
    QuickTime on the Intel macs but when they are played through
    authorware I get the error.
    Appreciate any suggestions

    Not yet having an Intel-Mac, I can't try this nor offer
    certain
    suggestions...
    How are you trying to play the movies in Authorware? Using
    the movie
    icon, I'd guess. And that should be fine...
    But if that's not working, try the QT Sprite (Insert >
    Media >
    Quicktime)? Just as something to try.
    Since that would require QT to be loaded on the PC version,
    if it works
    as a solution, you may have to setup two movies - one the
    movie icon and
    one the QT Sprite - and play either one based on OSNumber...

  • Which Intel Mac for Music Recording, Please?

    Hi--
    I'm brand new here. I'm a music professional who is in the middle of switching my recording setup toan Intel Mac-based studio, running either Logic Pro or Digital Performer (once it's ready for Intel Macs, that is).
    I've got an indie filmscoring job coming up--my second. The first was done without a computer--never again!
    I require some meqasure of portability--I'll be travelling between San Diego and central Mexico a few times throughout the process, either driving or occasionally flying.
    So last week I ordered a MacBook Pro 17" notebook with a 2.16 Ghz processor, a 100 gig, 7200 rpm drive and 2 gigs of RAM. I have been assured by friends and contascts in the filmscoring word that this is enough horsepower to run the applications I'll need to run (mostly the recording and sequencing software, plus Quick Time).
    However...I just bought my wife a 17" Intel iMac. Whoa. What a cool machine! Looking at the specs, I see it has a 1.83 Ghz dual processor, a 160 gig drive (don't know the speed offhand) and while it only comes with 512 mb of RAM I know it's upgradable to at least 2 gigs, right?
    So my question is this: is the performance going to be higher on a suped-up iMac than the suped-up MacBookPro? Does anyone have an educated guess about this? The notebook has a faster processor, but...it is a laptop with a laptop drive, which are typically not as fast as a desktop drive from what I understand.
    Many thanks!
    Doug

    If I may wade in--
    Strictly speaking from a travel/immigration perspective, you are less likely to have trouble with Mexican Customs with the MacBook Pro than with the iMac 17" or 20". The immigration laws allow foreigners to enter with a personal portable computer duty free. Something as large as an iMac is possibly tempting to a corrupt official, whether they are eying it for themself or as a opportunity to pocket a chunk of change to allow you to bring it in. We have a presidential election in July, and I have noticed the old corruption creeping back in at the borders and internal customs check points that existed pre-Vicente Fox. Corrupt agents going back to the good-old-days, when it was common to supplement one's monthly salary any way one could. Do yourself a favor and go powerful, and yet less conspicuous.

  • Eastwest Gold Bundle doesn't work on intel macs

    I got Eastwest Symphony Orchestra Gold Bundle today and just found out that it wouldn’t work with Logic 8 because it’s not Universal Binary. Now what's the best way to solve this problem? I've read that I need to spend another $300 on Kontakt just to HOST the eastwest in Logic 8 in MacBook Pro, aside of just spending $600 on the Gold Bundle. You know that's quite mad. I got the Logic Studio for $150 (academic in university store) and it works so well without any registration hassle. By contrast Eastwest comes with out of date VISE installer, tons of updating requirements, multiple visits to Native Instruments, and after all it doesn't work in your DAW if you use Intel Macs, which includes EVERY apple computer in stores right now. How can people of Eastwest sleep at night?
    Anyways, I'm looking for solutions. Any work around? Please help! And thank you!
    Tim

    This probably doesn't help but...
    If you do end up forking out the $$ for Kontakt, you will have purchased a FANTASTIC program that also happens to include a pretty extensive sample library. I do like EWQL Gold better than the VSL subset that comes with Kontakt, but the VSL subset is only a part of what comes with Kontakt.
    In any case, to really get the best of EWQL Gold, you will be much better off if you get Kontakt or Play. The Kompakt software is OK, but for a whole orchestra, it is much more convenient to have a full sampler IMHO.

  • I finally made the move to an Intel Mac

    I finally made the move to an Intel Mac. . . I bought a used Macbook Pro 15" core duo, 2.16Ghz, 2g ram, 7200rpm 500G HD. Couldn't pass it up at 600.00
    OS, Leopard fresh install and I installed FCP Studio as well. Runs pretty good. I also have SHake, which I'm trying to teach myself. Certainly no state of the art, but twice as fast as my G4 desktop.
    I'm going to buy FCP Studio 3 upgrade... and retire my FCPStudio (5.1.4).
    Any cautions?

    Heya,
    Keep in mind that a clean install of FCS3 vs. upgrade from 5.1.4 means you will lose Live Type.app because Live Type is no longer available in FCS3 since most of the features have been integrated into Motion. If you are used to working in the Live Type interface then upgrade to FCS3 from 5.1.4 vs. performing a clean install. If you upgrade from Final Cut Studio 5.1.4 to FCS3 then you will keep Live Type and it will still launch and be useable. If you perform a clean install of FCS3 then you will lose Live Type.app in the process. If you want to keep Live Type on your new/used Intel Mac then install FCP 5.1.4 first and then perform the upgrade installation of FCS3.

  • Getting a new Intel Mac, Logic question

    I currently run Logic Studio on my dual G4, which is finally starting to die on me. I am going to be getting one of the quad Mac Pros soon, and I wanted to make sure that my current Logic Studio will install on it. In other words, does the move to 10.5 and the intel mac mean I need a different version of the Studio disks, or will my current ones install and run without a problem?

    Your Logic Studio disks (ie Logic Pro 8) will install fine on your new Mac Pro.
    It is a Universal Binary installer which means it will look at you hardware and install the version appropriate for your chipset.

  • Installing Studio MX 2004 on Mac

    I have a licensed CD of Macromedia Studio MX 2004. On the CD
    it says WIN/MAC, but when I look at the CD contents it is all
    .exe's, and I can find nothing resembling MAC installation files.
    1. How the heck do I install it?
    2. Will it work on Leopard 10.5.2?
    Thanks!
    Richard

    You don't. You have a Windows CD. You would have to contact
    Adobe, and
    exchange your Windows license for a Mac license.
