Mavericks compatibility with cs 4?

Any experiences about Mavericks OSX compatibility with Adobe CS4 applications (Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator)?
I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and was planning to upgrade to Mountain Lion in order to use iCloud. But more importantly I am worried of how other applications will work. Apparently Apple doesn't even sell Mountain Lion anymore.
I have Macbook Pro (late 2008/2009 model) with 4GB of RAM.
Thank you!

Unfortunately, I discovered too late that Mavericks renders my CS4 dysfunctional. Like wsrphoto indicated, it won't open image files. It will open the Raw preview screen, but when you attempt to open a file from there... nothing. No image. Nor will it open jpgs. When you close Photoshop, however, it asks if you want to "save the file"... pointless.
My visit to the Genius Bar only resulted in them telling me my computer was fine and if I wanted to go back to Lion, I'd have to wipe my computer clean. Grrr!
It would have been nice for Apple - or Adobe - to warn users that Mavericks would create this problem. It has profoundly disrupted my workflow and now I've either got to wipe my computer clean to downgrade back to Lion, or put out the money to buy CS6 - which I really didn't need. Not happy AT ALL.
Upgrades shouldn't be suggested only to end up creating problems...

Mavericks compatibility with older software

I'm wondering if
- MS Office 2008:Mac
- Adobe CS5 12.0.5
- Mac Keynote, Numbers, Pages '09
- Final Cut Pro 5.1.4
and various other apps running on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 will run with Mavericks?
(excuse the pun)
If I need to buy all new software, I may be stuck w/ 10.6.8 - or deep in debt.
Thanks!

In all likelihood many will not. Here is a link to a detailed exploration of what will and what won't work.

OS X Mavericks Compatibility with 2009 Macbook Pro's

Can anyone shed some light on compatibility of os x mavericks with a 2009 macbook pro? I heard that it may slow down my comuter? I just wanted to seek out some information before downloading it. If it just slows down my older mac, I have no use for it.

Hey man I'm no Mac expert but what I'm about to say came from one. When each OS comes out there are always going to be ppl crying about them. I have been one of those ppl with past OS. However a guy from apple suggested something to me one time that I personally have found to work in the past and it worked again with mav to my surprise. Basically when you install any operating system apple will just upgrade what you have for you. I personally done understand why that is the root of the problem, but with mountain lion and mavericks I know all kinds of people with new macs who have upgraded and everything has just fallen apart. But the guy at apple hit said what you really need is a clean install. It's time consuming, it's tedious, you have to redownload all your programs and set your settings back but it's worth it. First move all of your files on to you to your hard drive that you want to keep. Then completely wipe your hard drive and follow forums on the Internet to do a clean install. I have a 2009 Mac that mavericks is working great on. No speed loss. I really like it.

Mavericks compatibility with NUDC

After installing Mavericks my Now Up-to-Date software won't boot up. What should I do?

What I found was that Now wasn't compatible with Mavericks and Now is "now" out of business. I researched calendar software that would work for my business (that would come closest to doing what Now did). (iCal doesn't do what I need it to do). The closest software was BusyCal. Busy Cal is capatible with Mavericks.

Fix for Mavericks compatibility with Lacie external drives yet?

My last attempt to upgrade to Mavericks caused my 2 Lacie external drives to become unrecognisable to my mac. Update hung up too so I lost everything...luckily I had a third back up with CCC that saved me. Im just wondering if there is a fix for this now. I got no information or help from Lacie.

Exactly the same here. Installed Mavericks and La Cie no longer shows in Finder and Time Machine reminds me that no back up has taken place. As an iMac newbie where do I go from here. In my Win PC days I always backed up to an external HD on a scheduled basis without this sort of problem.

Is Mavericks compatible with Final Cut Pro 7 and the rest of Studio 3?

I still use FCP 7 and limp along, but recent updates of FCP X are encouraging. Until I'm ready to take the plunge, would someone tell me if there's been any feedback re Mavericks' compatibility with Final Cut Pro 7 and the other software in the Studio 3 Suite - especially Compressor and DVD Studio Pro? I'd love to dl Mavericks but not if there are compatibility issues.
Thanks ~

Going from SL to Lion is not advised. Start clean.
Install Lion. Run updates. Install FCS. Run updates.

CS5 compatibility with mavericks

Is PS CS5 12.0 compatable with Mavericks having issues one is I can not open two or more photos at the same time opening one closes the previous open one any help? thanks

Hello, normally, there is no problem, according to: http://blogs.adobe.com/vikrant/2013/10/creative-cloud-creative-suite-6-and-mavericks-10-9/ BUT... some users reported issues with menus when using a Wacom tablet (look in the forum) and make sure that your third party plug-ins work ok in Mavericks.

What version of MicroSoft Office is compatable with Mavericks?

What version of Microsoft Office is compatable with Mavericks?

Office 2004 will not run under Mavericks. If you are running Entourage, you will need to verify your data first. If you upgrade and try to import and it fails, it's difficult to recover your data. Both Entourage 2008 and Office 2011 will import a good Entourage 2004 Identity. Mail requires Entourage to be open to import so you should upgrade to Mail first if you plan on using Mail. Note: Office 2011 H&S version does not contain Outlook. You have to purchase H&B to get Outlook.
While Office 2008 works there are a few quirks under Mavericks.
Office 2008 apps open with new window after upgrading to Mavericks
Office 2011 has features like Sync to Apple applications that no longer works because those features no longer exist in Mavericks.
Sync Basics
CalDAV & CardDAV are protocols used by Apple, Google, Yahoo and others to sync contacts and calendars. Neither Entourage 2008 nor Outlook 2011 support CalDAV or CardDAV.
Apple removed sync in Mavericks with iTunes.
You can no longer sync with an iPhone or iPad via iTunes. You can only sync with an iPhone or iPad via a cloud-based service like iCloud or Google.
You can no longer sync local calendars with OS X Calendar (formerly iCal). You can, however, continue to sync calendars hosted on a cloud-based service like iCloud or Google with Apple's Calendar.
You can no longer sync with any third-party apps running on your Mac that use Sync Services, like Entourage or Outlook.
If you want to stick with Outlook, I suggest you look at Office 365 if you need sync for contacts and calendars. Otherwise, moving to Apple Mail, Contacts and Calendar with iCloud might be a better option for you.
Until Microsoft adds CalDAV and CardDAV support to Outlook, there is no way to sync other than get an Exchange account. It's $4/month Exchange Online.
A new version of Office for Mac is scheuduled for release later this year or early next year. Speculation is it will be by subscription only. If you are considering purchasing Office 2011, I would check out this deal that would auto upgrade you to the newest version when it's released.

Yosemite compatibility with microsoft word 2008

I had held off on upgrading to Mavericks because of the issues surrounding the compatibility with Microsoft Word 2008. I am a student and need to use Word to do my work as well as having all of my current documents, including my thesis, in 2008 format. I don't want to risk losing the information or the ability to do my work and I was wondering if there is any information about whether the issue of compatibility with this version had been fixed. I don't have the means to buy a new version of Microsoft but would very much like to be able to update my system since I am still using Mountain Lion.

There has been a better and free alternative to old versions of MS Word and MS Office since forever. Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1 is the latest version of a free and complete All-In-One document processor, spreadsheet, drawing, presentation, database, & formula software, found here: http://www.openoffice.org
It also reads, writes and translates MS Word, saves in many formats, and is pretty easy to use. It's entirely modern and compatible with all the latest Mac operating systems. Good luck.

Compatability with Macos10.9.2

Hi I gave up using contribute as it was so unstable. Really want to use it, thought I would try again, but down loading trial does not work, so thought I would check to see if it is compatable with Maverick.

According to this http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/mac-os-mavericks-compatability.html all Adobe CC and CS6 products are compatible with Maverick.
But you need to be sure to have all of the latest updates applied for some.

Windows 8 and itunes 11 compatibility with an ipod

I have itunes11 and Windows 8. I've called Apple and I've talked to Microsoft. This was months ago. I can download itunes and run it from my laptop but am unable to sync my ipod. I get an error and it automatically reboots my computer. I was told there were known compatibility with itunes and Windows 8. This was months ago.
I know how to downgrade itunes to XP or Win 7. This is not the issue. I can download to my laptop and place, it will not sync to my ipod device (which is a fear years old), but when I did talk to support I was told that it was supported. The ipod was not the issue.. It was the incompatibility between the programs.
I see recent updates in the support community in the past month about production resolution but this still has not resolved my issue. I don't believe purchasing a new ipod is going to resolve the issue either.
If anyone has successfully developed a workaround or recently downloaded itunes11 w/ Windows 8 and can sync to an apple ipod I would love to know how you did it.

Im not sure that will solve the issue I have with itunes. I have a lenovo laptop and I think it's just an issue with Apple who has to modify the program for users of Windows 8 so that itunes can be used and to find purchased music. I found the music I purchased through itunes but it's not the full tracks. It said it allows me to download it fully so I can hear the whole track, but needs some kind of capatibility? I have no idea what the problem is. If someone has the answer knowing my computer brand and having windows 8 compatibility issues, please let me know what you suggest.

Is adobe photoshop cs2 compatable with windows 8?

Is adobe photoshop CS2 compatable with windows 8?

I have removed and re-installed CS2 twice now and still get the same library application error.
DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS 8 ONTO YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU WANT TO KEEP CS2!
Telling us to spend more money to upgrade our software to meet OS does not show trust to the users. CS2 should be able to work with new OS systems and if not users should be allowed to update their current program for free to be able to use it on the new OS.
Thank you,
Eric

I have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3

i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
(Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage. in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to.
now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm. now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller! it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch. so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right. i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4

Hi Josh,
Thanks for taking the time to contact us here a Novation for technical support. Lets continue to correspond via email so we can get your issue resolved.
Thanks.
