MBP and photoshop CS2

I am an artist and I do prints of my work. I just bought a new MBP. I have to use photoshop CS3... I have the upgrade from CS2... NOW, all of a sudden, Adobe and Apple apparently aren't talking. CS2 cannot be loaded onto this computer, won't work..... Question.. can I firewire CS2 from my Quad Pro Desktop?
Also, I use a professional wide format Epson printer... 10.6.4 does not work for driving this printer, so I made sure that I bought this 10.6.3 MBP so I could drive my printer... what's going on? Are other companies (namely Adobe and Epson) trying to boycott Apple?
Any suggestions for me would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance.

For your Epson make sure you have run Software Update and downloaded any Epson driver updates it offers. You've got to have the latest. I don't have a large format but I do have a 3800 that prints very well under Snow Leopard, though I hear it was not that way in the beginning. The drivers are always the sticking point and those come from Epson.
CS2 came out long before Snow Leopard so of course the code may be too old. I don't know what Adobe officially says about CS2 on Snow Leopard. I think they have a CS3 tech note. CS5 runs 64-bit fast and awesome, no evidence of any "boycott" here...
You made a big jump in hardware and software, it's always a chore to get all the little pieces updated. I migrated my Epson-printing Mac from 10.4 to 10.6 and am still not done tidying up loose ends.

Macbook Pro and Photoshop CS2, Photoshop Elements 4.0?

I own CS2 for the Mac and use it on my G5. I've already gone through the attempts to install it on my MacBook Pro and had the setup program hang. Ok, so I have to wait for a fix from someone to get that going.
Does anyone know if PS Elements 4.0 for the Mac will successfully install and run on the MB Pro? If so, that's good enough for what I want to do right now and I'll go get one. However, if it's going to produce the same hang in setup, I'm no further ahead with that solution.
I'm open to ideas.. thanks.

I have one of the new 17" MBPs. Photoshop CS2 and pretty much the rest of my Adobe CS2 package installed without any problems, but none of them will run. I keep getting the "This program unexpectedly terminated" message. I have the Quicktime update. In fact, as I wrote this post, Quicktime just "Unexpectedly" quit. Am I doing something wrong, or is there something very amiss with the new MBPs?

Adobe Stock Photos Stuck in Trash and Photoshop CS2 won't run!

Okay, I apparently did something stupid. I'm not even sure how this happened, but I realized that Adobe Stock Photos folder was sitting on my desktop (I'm using OS X 10.5.6). I don't know when this happened and I didn't think I needed it so I dragged it to the trash. NOW I cannot run any of my Adobe software (includes Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2 and GoLive CS2).
I can see the folder sitting in my trash, but it won't let me drag it back out. So, just as a test, I tried dragging out the one other file (.jpg) and I can't get that one either. I know this isn't a Mac forum, but I'm desparate and cannot find anything to help me.
Probably I am going to have to reinstall everything and (of course) I can't find my CDs!!! Please don't get angry if I'm asking the wrong question. I've done an internet search and I cannot find any solutions.
Thanks, Anne

Adobe stock photos does not even exist anymore.
Have you tried deleting your trash? I have no Adobe stock Photos on my computer and everything works. try restarting the computer.

Trouble Opening Illustrator and Photoshop CS2??

When opening Adobe Illustrator CS2 I receive a Windows Box showing Adobe Illustrator: Illustrator.exe - Application Error The instruction at "0x003c197d" referenced memory at "0x000000000". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program.
I am also having trouble accessing Adobe Photoshop CS2. When I open the program it simply stays in one sequence as a loop and does not completely open.

32 bit Windows XP
I also tried uninstalling and re-installing the full program and it still has the same problem.
I even checked my ram by moving a single memory card from one slot to the next to see if that was the problem but still the same error messages.

10.4.6 and Photoshop CS2

I have found that I am not alone in my finding that Photoshop CS2 crashes when saving files opened from remote volumes. A workaround has been to "downgrade" the appleshare client software to 10.4.5 .. I guess my question is, will apple be addressing this "real" issue with a patch of some sort? And yes, I know how to drag files to my local drive and then drag them back, but theorectically I shouldn't have to if previous versions worked without fail??? I also know I've mentioned an Adobe product...but the culprit seems to be the OS here. BTW: Adobe won't support remote volumes/networks connections. Pardon my frustration, but when trying to upgrade 9 boxes in my shop (OS, and applications) and running into the inevitable snags really chaps me! I waste so much time trying to make everything work correctly only to have to undo what I did to get any workflow.
How's everyone else doing? thanks

thanks guys, for the insights...I am inclined to agree with you regarding development. Mean time, Jim...can you tell me more of your settings? If things are working for you, maybe they can for me as well without having to replace resource files from an old OS. What kind of volume are you pulling from or writing to?

Windows Vista and Photoshop CS2 Compatibility?

I am considering the purchase of a new computer. I have Photoshop CS2, and I am debating whether to get Windows Vista or Windows XP Pro. I have read in the database about Vista and CS2, "Installs and runs with minimal known issues." But it also states under Support for Windows Vista, "not officially." So I am wondering whether anyone has PSCS2 running under Vista, and what kinds of problems you've encountered? Thank you.

I have come across a severe Photoshop CS2 incompatibility with Vista.
One of my printers is an Epson Stylus R310, which prints on both paper and disc. While this model has been on the market for a number of years, many people are still using it, especially those who, like me, have added a continuous-flow ink system to it.
Epson appears to have sat back meekly and allowed Microsoft, whose programming limitations know no bounds, to produce a Vista 'driver' for the R310. Epson even proudly announces on its various international sites that the driver is 'In-box'.
This so-called driver is so poor that Epson has had to release a PDF that shows how to fool the printer into printing to disc when using Epson's own CD Print software under Vista. The Epson XP driver automatically switches the printer dialogue to CD mode, but with the Vista CD workaround the paper mode is retained on screen and it is not until the printer reacts in CD configuration that a user knows that the workaround has worked.
When it comes to Photoshop no workaround seems possible. Print Preview just doesn't work as it does under XP. It is not possible to switch printers, so the target printer has to be made the default so that a preview appears. Otherwise, the user is stuck with the default. In my case, I have used the Photoshop preview box under XP to switch from my default A4/A3 mono laser if I want to use the R310 or my HP 1220. Epson Support's reaction to this situation is that it is up to Photoshop to change.
Problems such as these with the R310 under Vista no doubt apply to many other printers whose Vista drivers carry the dreaded '(M)' in their name.
This leads to a question of my own. I am wondering whether CS3 has tackled this problem of using truncated Microsoft Vista printer drivers with Photoshop. Can anyone enlighten me?

Illustrator and Photoshop CS2 freeze up when placing objects.

When I try to place an object, in both CS2 Illustrator and Photoshop, the software freezes and must be restarted. Also when I click on the top of the window that a document is opened in, the document disappears from the screen. It is technically still open, but I can't retrieve it by scrolling. The window is literally off the screen, unable to be reached. I've been having problems with this software since I got it, is there a chance that there is a bug of sorts messing with me in the software?
This is very annoying, I hope there is a solution for it. I end up losing 75% of my work because I have to tip-toe around the software so much.
Thanks,

X800-XT Mac Edition and Photoshop CS2 in Full Screen Mode

I recently installed a new ATI X800XT AGP Retail card into my Dual 2-Gig G5 Mac. I have (2) Sony CRTs connected to this card - a 21" Artisan and a 24" GDM-FW900. So far I have only found one problem and this involves Full-Screen Mode in Photoshop CS2 under a certain condition.
All of the following conditions must be met to reproduce this anomoly, but it is at least consistent and happens 100% of the time. Here are the conditions:
(1) Open any image in Photoshop CS2
(2) Zoom in on the image until the image area exceeds the boindaries of the screen.
(3) Go into Full-Screen Mode (without Menu Bar showing) but hitting the "F" key twice.
(4) Hit the Tab key to hide toolbars (the image should now fill the screen and extend off all four borders.
(5) Now - holding down the spacebar to get the hand tool - pan the umage around the screen with the grabber hand. You will notice that the image will not refresh properly.
(6) One other condition must be met - you must perform this while on the main monitor which normally has the OSX Menu Bar present. Note: changing the menu bar to the other monitor causes this problem to migrate to that monitor only.
Can anyone else reproduce this?

Post this over at the Adobe forums to see if it's just a CS2 problem.
Also you might want to file a bug report with them.

Is Indesign CS4 compatible with Illustrator CS2 and Photoshop CS2?

We are a small business and have been working in the CS2 suite forever. We had someone do some work for us in Indesign CS4 and are looking to upgrade to that version so we can work with these files as changes happen. If we upgrade to Indesign CS4 will it still be compatible with the rest of my CS2 programs (Illustrator and Photoshop). Placing files and such. Thanks in advance, I know I am way behind here but it is what is cost effective for now.

Adobe only sells InDesign CC (by subscription) or InDesign CS6. You might find boxed legal copies of CS5 or 5.5 from a vendor like Amazon.
You should be very wary of buying older Adobe software on the Internet or eBay. Many copies don't have a legal license and may cause you problems in the future. Caveat emptor.

Highlighting Text in Quark 6.5 and Photoshop CS2

In CS2 Photoshop text does not highlight properly. Have to go below the text to highlight. Can't highlight the bottom line of text.
In Quark 6.5 text highlighting is inconsistent. Doesn't always highlight the text I've selected.

www.helios.com (will redirect to www.helios.de but the site can be accessed in English).
You will find plenty information (their background is in providing AFP services using unix servers (in the old days SGI and SUN) but they have it running for OS X as well and claim better implementation than Apple's own...
To be honoust I don't know about their exact implementation on AFP permissions. In their admin tool they work with Users and Groups but the upcoming version (UB (stands for unbreakable, pretty hard claim IMHO )) they should be able to link to AD, LDAP and other services for authentication (and presumably this links also to permissions).
At least they take XSan seriously which is already a good thing.

Help with OS 10.6.8 and photoshop CS2

My mac OS systm is OS 10.6.8. My photoshop from CS2 just expired and I can not reinstall without authenicate number. I wanted to purchase photoshop CS5. Can not find a place to buy it. I can not get the latest as my imac is about 6 years old. I can upgrade to 10.7 but that is as far as I can upgrade. I can not afford a new computer at this point. If I upgrade to 10.7, I am trying to purchase a student version of CS4 or 5 that would be compatible with my computer.
Any advice or suggestions is greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!

This is an Apple forum, and you are asking about an Adobe product. It would be best to pose your question on one of their forums for Mac products.
If you are a registered college student, then you can purchase software at reduced price from your college's software store or bookstore. Otherwise, we can't help you purchase software illegally.

Olympus E-3 and Photoshop CS2 .ORF Raw Files

I've recently purchased an Olympus E-3 (previously owned E-330). I use CS2 and Windows XP Media. I am new to shooting RAW images and just got back from a trip where I shot RAW (.ORF) images.
I updated my DNG converter and Camera Raw to 3.7 (as that is the highest level supported by CS2). The list of supported cameras include the E-3. But I still get the error message that it can't complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.
I try to use the DNG Converter and get a message there was an error parsing the image.
What am I not understanding? Since the E-3 should be supported in Camera Raw, why am I getting this error message? I really enjoy the flexibility of photoshop Camera Raw and wish to continue.
What is the best and easiest way to open these files in Photoshop? I am stuck with a ton of .ORF images that I cannot open. Please help!

I am now assuming ACR is the the same as Camera Raw (and please correct me if I am wrong). But I have tried the latest DNG converter 4.5 and Camera Raw 3.7 in my Common Files/plug ins folder.
>The way you phrase this seems to indicate that you somehow try to open the files directly "using" the DNG converter. You have to convert them first, so that you have two sets of files, one .ORF and one .DNG.
I tried going through bridge to open in camera raw and it is dimmed. I tried double clicking on the .orf file and get the original "not the right kind of document error". How to you "convert them first" as mentioned in the quote above.
Before all I had to do was double click on the .orf file and Camera Raw opened or I just used Adobe Bridge and double clicked. What steps should I follow now?
Again any assistance would be greatly appreciated

10.4.7 and Photoshop CS2, Adobe Camera Raw.

Since updating to 10.4.7 Adobe Bridge will not build thumbnails of DNG files and only builds 1/6th size thumbnails of NEF files. The Camera Raw Plug-in is in the correct folder but Bridge will not show Camera Raw Preferences. All Adobe troubleshooting has been followed with no success, purging cahes etc.. No problems prior to updating to 10.4.7 and the latest iTunes. Any suggestions.

There is no obvious reason why CS2 should not run on your G4. Have you kept the CS2 up to date? Updated Quicktime? Kept 10.4.7 up to date?
There have been known issues which recent (over the last 2-3 months) updates from both Apple and Adobe are said to have resolved.
One obvious suspect is third party plug-ins. Have you tried disabling them (if you have any), and then re-enabling them one by one to see if this makes a difference?
You could also try the Adobe's own forum: http://www.adobe.com/support/forums/index.html although it can be hard to navigate!

Final cut pro 5.1 and photoshop cs2 w. macbook

it seems that the reviews have been up and down with the usage of these programs on the macbook--considering the graphics card in this puppy.
i currently have the old school powerbook 15" 867 and i am considering about getting into the macbook 2.0g (with 2gig ram)--my only concern is that i use those two programs an awful lot--pretty much the only thing i use that makes my computer really work. considering that i am a student on a tight budget, and that i do have G5 machines at school to do my heavy duty editing, does anyone know if there has been any more updated reviews about these programs and the macbook? if anything, it should definitely be better than my old school powerbook right? it has been quite awhile since i been in the hunt for a new computer. any help would be greatly appreciated!
powerbook 867 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

This is my simple advice, buy the correct tool for your software. Final Cut Pro is NOT supported by Apple on the MacBook. It supported on the MacBook Pro. You weren't using an iBook before you had a PowerBook, why would you get a MacBook now and not a MacBook Pro? If I were you, I would get a MacBook Pro with the base amount of RAM and upgrade that later.
