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.

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.

Upgraded to OSX 10.7 and lost Acrobat Professional 8 features on Pro X

Upgraded to OSX 10.7 and lost Acrobat Professional 8 features on Pro X that came with the OS.
Do I need to purchase a new license? Seems a little harsh considering the entire CS suite had to be upgraded...

Apple clobbered the PS drivers - the fix for this has been poseted - see:

Can I upgrade from CS2 to CS4 and skip CS3?

Can I upgrade from CS2 to CS4 and skip CS3? It would save me time.

Colin,
>But I did exactly what everyone on here said they did, went onto adobe.com to do our research, saw that the upgrade works from CS2-CS4
Adobe shows there are multiple versions of the suites on their site and clearly points the way for purchasing at the Adobe Store. Just for the heck of it, I also went to MacMall.com and MacConnection.com, two well-known online resellers. I checked their Adobe CS4 upgrades, and they clearly indicate which older versions they are meant to go with. Not quite so clear from MacZone.com and a few other reseller sites I visited.
>I am an IT person for a printing company, and as such I spent hours upon hours preparing for this transition.
It took me just a few minutes to find the correct version I needed.
>no one can tell the difference, and most vendors don't know it exists. We could help you, but you didn't buy it from us."
Maybe the reseller you bought from is just sloppy and didn't mark the SKUs properly. But how is this Adobe's fault -- particularly when other vendors can and DO get it right?
Also as both Mac and Win upgrades are pretty much determined and marketed the same way, what does this sloppiness have to do with Mac market share?
But that said, there is enough good information on the Adobe site that should trigger some questions if you as the IT guy have any doubts and are responsible for buying for your company. At the least, doesn't it make sense to call Adobe and ask which SKUs you should buy? It could've saved hours of research time.
If you truly did your research and purchasing carefully and were still fooled, I suggest you start with a complaint to the reseller who sold you the goods.

Have old Power Mac G4, need advice on upgrading the operating system

Hello. Glad I found this forum. Wish it was prominently advertized on the Apple home page. Anyway, I have an old Power Mac G4 running OS X 10.0.4. Well, actually, I've always run it in OS 9.2. In fact recently I started playing with it again and switched it to OS X 10.0.4 and it seems to be unstable. The display dissappears after a while running. The machine is not off, just no display. Hitting the smaller reboot button brings it back up, only to have it repeat the failure. But that's not really my question. I want to use this machine as a Skype phone and for iMovie in OS 9.2. Skype is only available for OS X 10.3.9 and later OS's. So, if it's not a major hassle and expense, I want to upgrade to OS X 10.3.9 or later. That's where I need some advice. Having never attempted such a project, I'd like as much feedback as I can get about what to expect going in. Here are some questions:
1. Will I still be able to run OS 9.2 (either concurrently or by switching the startup disk when needed) if I upgrade to OS X 10.3.9 or later?
2. Will this instability with OS X 10.0.4 dissappear if I uprgade?
3. Where can I find the appropriate upgrade software?
4. Can I jump from OS X 10.0.4 to a version as late as OS X 10.3.9 without any intermediate steps, and without creating all kinds of little inconsistencies that I will have to chase down to make it work right in day to day use.
If I get answers to all that, I'll be blown away by the spirit of helpfulness on this forum! But anything you can offer will be greatly appreciated. I don't really want to do anything fancy with the machine, just Skype, hopefully iMovie and maybe stream some TV programs if all goes well. Thanks for reading through all this and for anything you can offer.
Power Mac G4
Hard drive: 38.34 GB

OS 9.2 & OS X 10.0.4

appleysmappley:
Cornelius, clearly you know your Macs!
Thank you. I have great mentors, one of whom is Kappy.
My next question about OS 9 is, if I have to wipe the hard drive, will the Panther retail box I buy include OS 9 or will I need to somehow add it from the original software pack I have after installing Panther?
You have options.
1. You can choose to install Panther using the Archive and Install option, which will leave OS 9 untouched. However, since you currently have OS X 10.0.4 on your drive, I think a complete reformat, erase and reinstall is advisable.
2. You can copy your OS 9 Systems Folder, OS 9 Applications Folder and any data you have have to a USB jump drive, or CD or an external Hard Disk Drive and restore it after Panther or Tiger is installed.
3. You can install OS 9 from scratch. We will give you step by step directions for doing it.
I'm assuming I can't use the disks that came with my laptop to updgrade my Power Mac G4, right?
It may or may not work. However, the Apple Software License Agreement stipulates that unless you have a multiple user license, the OS can only be installed on one computer at a time.
I'm concerned about OS 9 is because I want to be able to run the OS 9 iMovie that I have on the Power Mac G4 now.
If you reinstall OS 9, that should be included. OS X also has iMovie, although I am not sure if it is included in the Retail Version. You can also purchase iLife which will include iMovie and other apps.
What are the potential pitfalls of buying a copy on eBay? What do I need to know to "know what I'm looking for"? What questions should I ask?
The pitfalls are many. There is fraud on eBay (elsewhere, too, I guess), so you want to be sure you get a reputable seller. You want to be sure that you are getting the Full Retail Version, not computer specific gray disks or upgrade installers. You should ask the seller, in addition, whether you can return the merchandise for a refund if it does not work on your computer. Most reputable sellers want to satisfy their buyers and their business depends on their reputation.
Kappy said I would need more RAM (I have 384 MB). Where would you recommend buying that?
Your computer will support a total of 1.5 GB of PC-133 3.3v, unbuffered, 8-byte, non-parity 168-pin SDRAM in 3 slots. You currently have a 128 MB and 256 MB modules in two slots. You can remove one or both and add two or three 512 MB modules. Check out the list of vendors and prices at ramseeker
Good luck.

Need advice in upgrading a sawtooth AGP G4

Hi, I have a sawtooth AGP G4 computer and I want to upgrade it to a 1ghz CPU (Encore/ST G4 1.0 GHz) with a new graphics card (at least a 128mb card). I know that the Encore/ST G4 1.0 GHz CPU upgrade is really reliable but what would you recommend for a graphics card? I was looking for a ATI Radeon 9200 128mb. Can't seem to find reviews. I'll use this computer to do some graphic design work and some games (WarCraft 3, Simcity 4, Halo1, Age of empire 3) I think these upgrades will work on my machine. Here the current specs :
Machine Model: PowerMac3,4
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.9)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 467 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1
Serial Number: XB1121UJKXQ
Sales Order Number: M7627C/A

Hi everyone,
I received my graphic's card on thursday and my CPU on friday. I found a ATI 9800 on Ebay for 130$ and I got my CPU upgrade on the sonnet technologies site. I got the 1.8ghz CPU upgrade at 269$.
Installation was actually pretty easy and straight forward. Booted up my G4 and WOW what a big difference! I did a clean install with OS 10.5. Installed all my working apps (adobe CS3 etc.. ) and did a series of everyday tasks like creating a 25'x25' 300 dpi file and apllied filters to it just to see the differnce. I couldn't beleive my eyes. Did some layout in Illustrator and Quark and it was perfect for my needs.
I installed WarCraft 3, SimCity 4 rush hour and Age Of Empires 3. Everything was just perfect. I can run them in 1024x768 32 bit with almost all the graphics set to high and no problem as far as I can see. Looked really nice on my 21" viewsonic display.
I didn't do any bench tests cause I really don't know what software to use or what they all actually mean in detail.
I'm really quite happy with my newly upgraded G4. Only drawback is with multitasking. Seems like it can do less tasks at once compared to an iMac core duo cause my upgrade only has one CPU. But because this machine is used primarily for work I bring home or games it's not a problem at all.
Total upgrade price : 430$ includes shipping etc..
Price of a new iMac :1,299.00 (same kit except it's a core duo 2ghz and I wouldn't know what to do with my 21" screen. I have no place to use it as a second display)
new G5 tower : 2,899.00 (which would give me the lattitude of adding multiple hard drives)
I didn't do any research in finding a newer G4 cause I treated my G4 very well still looks new! I would've had to upgrade the graphic's card and such... So I think the best deal was to upgrade with new parts and give it another 5 years or so.
Hope my post helps you out !
Thanks for all your help!

ARD asking for Serial Number after Upgrade to OSX 10.9 and ARD 3.7?

Hello All,
I bought ARD 3.6.1 back in 2012 from MAC Store. Yesterday, I decided to upgrade to OSX Mavericks and the upgrade forced ARD to update to 3.7 from 3.6.1 and now ARD is asking for serial number... Never had a Serial Number since I bought it from Mac Store. Anyone with same problem?
Many Thanks in Advance!
App Store Update says I have 3.7 already installed.

Not sure how that would happen but you should be able to revert to the Mac App Store version with the following steps:
1. Launch the App Store app
2. Go to the Purchases secton and verify that Apple Remote Desktop is showing in your list
3. Assuming it's in your list, delete Remote Desktop.app from /Applications
4. Verify that Remote Desktop.app is not installed on any other mounted volumes using Spotlight
5. If it is installed then either unmount those volumes or delete the app from those other locations
6. Go back to the Purchases section of the App Store app
7. If Apple Remote Desktop is shown as "Installed" then select "Reload Page" from the "Store" menu
8. The entry for Apple Remote Desktop should now give you the option to "Install"
9. Click "Install"
After installation you should have the correct Mac App Store version that does not prompt for a serial number.

The photo library needs to be upgraded but it doesn't and won't open

When I go into IPhoto a message pops up that the photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto, but when I hit upgrade it search's for an upgrade than another box pops up that say "you can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. It continues "you have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. But I can't upgrade. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
These messages can be a symptom of database damage:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Upgraded from xp to windows 8.1. I reinstalled office 2007 and Adobe CS3. Cannot print to pdf.

I recently upgraded from Windows XP PRO to Windows 8.1 64 bit professionsal. I reinstalled Microsoft Office 2007 Professional and Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium.
Office no longer prints to PDF, and Acrobat does not open Office documents. I did extract the AdobePDF.dll_64 from the data.cab file, changed the name to AdobePDF.dll and used it in the install of Acrobat 8.0.
Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks for any help.

You may have a better chance to get a helpful reply if you ask in the Acrobat forum.

Need advice on upgrade from Snowleopard to Lion on MacBk Pro (15" late 2008)

I want to be able to synch my calendar on new iPhone, home MacBook Pro and office PC (with MS Office)... and I think I have figured out that I need to get Lion on my Mac instead of Snow Leopard. Are there things I need to do to make this upgrade actually work? I am a big user, but not so much a smart Mac user... kind of new to it.. advice appreciated. pitfalls or suggestions... any reasons not to do it?

Sara MacApple wrote:
So, do you have any advice about how I can synch my MacBookPro calendar with my iPhone?
Apple has incorporated features like that into iCloud, then restricted that to only users of 10.7 Lion as leverage. They won't allow iCloud on 10.6 because people wouldn't upgrade. 10.6 runs a lot of expensive previously purchased software that there isn't a upgrade out yet. If people install Lion anyway on older hardware it slows most machines down and that encourages them to buy a new Mac prematurely. So you see what's going on here.
Apple changes stuff way too fast, then they quickly burn their bridges and previous users behind them in the process. For instance, Apple doesn't support 10.5 at all anymore with security and stabilty updates, and that's a mere 4 year old OS X version.
Not to praise Microsoft, but they do support 10 year old XP still, 5 year old Vista and Windows 7 is going to be supported for at least 10 years or even longer. Windows 8 is going to run Windows 7 software too. So with Windows PC you can run your hardware until it drops dead, buy your software once every 10 years.
Apple has this crazy notion that we all should be replacing our hardware and expensive software on a 3 year basis. When in reality properly taken care of Mac hardware can last a decade easily, I have a XP friend who's Dell desktop is over 10 years old and still works fine.
If your a luxury consumer and just use your Mac for the basics, can keep up with the 3-4 year expensive hardware and software changes, then buy all means buy a new Mac with Lion and get iCloud and then sync to your iPhone. Use the old Mac as backup for software that isn't ready for 10.7 yet.
If your more a Pro and/or conservative user, perhaps have a heavy investment in software, your machine is working perfectly, have a more longterm objective, then you should consider forgoing the new OS X features until third party software has released Lion compatible versions/updates and then make a decision to upgrade hardware and software at the same time so your workflow continues with the least disturbance.
Apple prefers to cater to the luxury consumer more than the "Pro" market because the luxury consumer can be leveraged to buy hardware on a faster upgrade cycle. The Pro user is trying to make money and therefore thinks more longterm to extract value out of their purchases.
I know this is a long winded answer, but since your machine is 4 years old and Lion will be slow on it, require opening up the machine to install RAM and replace all your software, you might as well buy a new machine to get the feature you want. If your not prepared to buy a new machine, then forgo it and learn to live without the new feature, your machine could last another 4 years easy and by then there might be no more computers, just all tablets or something, because Apple is ALWAYS changing.
If you take a serious look at Lion, you'll realize it's a transitional OSX version, to what exactly and what form of new hardware it will run on (perhaps even Apple's own processors) is a mystery. So Iv'e decided to stay on 10.6 for all the software choices, printers works just fine to, even on my new 2011 Mac and just wait it out and not thrown several thousand dollars away in a mere 3 years for no reason. When Apple gets to wherever they are going and settles down, the software industry catches up, by then my hardware will likely be ready for a upgrade, if I don't like waht Apple is doing, then I will switch to a alternative. But I won't be lead around on a leash and my wallet abused by Apple any longer, they need to grow up and act like a mature computer products company and quit dropping support for older OS X versions.

Need advice on upgrading

I need some advice on updating my 'puter. I have an iMac. Here are my system specs...
OS 10.2.8
256 MB Ram
1 GHz Power PC G4
Power Mac 6, 1 version=3.3
DDR SDRAM 256
I NEED to upgrade. I talked with an apple expert at my local CompUSA a while back and i forgot what he told me I need.
I obviosouly need to purchase OS X 10.4 (Tiger).
I also need more memory. I was told to purchase a certain memory card, one for A laptop that will be compaotible with my mac. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a certain memory card.
I'm also very scared about my music and pictures stored on my computer. If I update, will I lose this and if I will, How do i back up all this data.
Thank You to anyone who can give me answers.
Brooke

Brooke:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I am not able to identify your computer exactly. Can you tell me if it is 15", 17" or 20". Until we can identify it exactly I can't tell you exactly what RAM modules you need.
However, you can upgrade your OS to either Panther (10.3x) or Tiger (10.4x) The move from Jaguar to Panther to Tiger is an upgrade which involves purchasing new software disks. You can download updates once you have the basic software installed, but the initial installation is from disks you have to purchase. See Software update, upgrade--what's the difference?.
To upgrade to Panther or Tiger your computer will need to meet the minimum system requirements: for Panther or for Tiger.
Then you will need to purchase the Full Retail version of Panther or Tiger. Computer specific or upgrade versions should be avoided as they can cause problems. Besides, it is a violation of the Software License Agreement which statesThis License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single computer at a time. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time...Tiger can be purchased from the Apple Store and Panther (or Tiger on CDs) can be purchased from applerescue.
In terms of preserving your data you can do an Archive and Install which preserves your data and preferernces in a Previous Systems folder. However, even with Archive and Install it is advisable to backup everything you cannot afford to lose in case something goes wrong. The best way to backup is to purchase an external Firewire Hard Disk Drive and clone your Users Folder to it. More about that later.
For now, let us identify your computer, then we can tell you what RAM you need. You need to decide whether you want Panther or Tiger. Both are excellent Operating Systems.
Please post back with the information and any other questions.
Good luck.

Need advice with upgrading to a new HD

Hello, all.
My available hardware:
MBP 13-inch w/160GB HD running OS X Lion
500GB external firewire HD which I exclusively use for Time Machine
8GB USB flash drive
500GB internal 2.5-inch HD which I intend to install in the MBP
USB 2.5-inch HD enclosure
I'm a relatively new mac user and need some help with migrating to a new hard drive.
I've read Lion is a bit different from the previous OS's as it installs with a recovery partition on the installation HD? And, just recently, they've added a recovery assistant which allows the user to back up and install this recovery reserve to an external hard drive or USB flash drive with at least 1GB of space. Assuming this is true, would the following prodecure be the safest and most successful way to upgrade my laptop's HD?
Make sure recovery assistant is installed and if not, install it
Run a Time Machine save/back up on the external HD
Use recovery assistant to create the recovery reserve on the USB flash drive
Remove current HD and install the 500GB one
Insert USB drive, boot, and recover Lion
Connect external HD and use Time Machine to complete restoration of data
I've upgraded hardware and imaged disks for restoral on a number of systems but never on a mac. Hoping to catch any snags before I run into them.
One last question, would migrating via this method restore the Lion installation the way it was meant to be installed on the HD with the recovery partition present? I mean, I've read that before the recovery assistant was added, the main methods of installing to a new HD were to either 1) install OS X from scratch, upgrade all the way to Lion, then restore your data or 2) Clone your OS installation and install it to the new HD but this method wouldn't install the recovery reserve which could cause problems down the road.
Thanks, in advance, for any help.

Need advice on upgrading OS and iPhoto with multiple altered libraries.

I am going to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard (Bundle Pack) and from iPhoto 6 to iPhoto 8. My wife and I have separate accounts on our MacBook Pro and I have combined our iPhoto Libraries onto an external hard drive using iPhoto Library Manager. Afterwards, I opened the Mac HD icon on my desktop, opened the pictures folder, went through the iPhoto Library folder, and opened the Originals folder. I deleted my photos through here which kept the thumbnail data (when I open iPhoto, I can see all of my photos, I just can't enlarge them beyond a certain size or I get a grayed out image with an exclamation point). I have since done the same for some of my wife's photos to free up space. This has been sort of useful to know what photos we have while not eating up the hard drive.
How do I install iLife '09 with a clean iPhoto Library? I do not care about seeing thumbnails anymore. However, is it possible to keep the thumbnails on my wife's account? When I open the iPhoto Library on the external HD, will it automatically convert it to the updated version?
An Apple Tech once told me that altering the iPhoto database like I did can corrupt it and they have since removed that ability in the latest version of iPhoto. I know I screwed it up and am unsure about the best approach once I do upgrade. Any advice is much appreciated.

Installing iPhoto '09 will work smoothly and seamlessly for operating libraries - I have no idea how it will react to the ones your have corrupted but suspect that it will upgrade them so they will operate in the same crippled way they do now
To have a fresh library you depress the option key and launch iPhoto and use new library option
An Apple Tech once told me that altering the iPhoto database like I did can corrupt it
that is correct as you see when you try to enlarge a photo in the libraries you have modified
and they have since removed that ability in the latest version of iPhoto.
not removed but made more difficult so it is less like to happen by mistake - you can still do it in a number of ways but it is not a good idea
I know I screwed it up and am unsure about the best approach once I do upgrade. Any advice is much appreciated.
My advice is to use standard operating procedure - backup everything up and do your upgrades (I would do the OS and wait a few days and then do iPhoto myself) - the good library will be updated and work as before - the corrupted libraries may or may not upgrade but i would guess they will and work as before too

Need advice about upgrades

I just bought my daughter a mbp for graduation. It is a mid 2012 15.4", 4GB, 500 GB HHD i7 2.3 GHz. She is going to use it for college and she is starting a side gig doing photograpy for extra money while in college. After I bought it I was doing some reading on here and read that a lot of you using photoshop prefer 16 GB. I read somewhere that the 4 GB can only be upgraded to 8 GB but I also read that the mbp supports 16 GB so I think I could do that 3rd party later anyway. I am wondering if you guys think it is worth the extra $255 to exchange this one now for the 8GB with the 256 GB SSD. Any advice from your experience would be greatly appreciated as I am giving it to her tonight for graduation.

mid 2012 15.4", 4GB, 500 GB HHD i7 2.3 GHz.
The MBP you purchased for your daughter is an excellent computer. May I suggest getting the additional RAM from OWC or Crucial. A 16GB kit is currently $125 and you can upgrade it yourself. I'd keep the 500GB hard drive (not get an SSD) and instead invest in an external drive for backup and extra storage. (BTW, did you get AppleCare with this MBP. If not, I'd certainly recommend it.)
Exchanging your MBP for another model with a 256GB SSD? Well ... imho it's not a good idea. It's more money for less capability (even if the SSD is modestly faster than a hard drive, it's half the capacity of the 500GB hard drive). If your daughter makes good use of the MBP, and even more if she really gets into digital photography, a 256GB SSD is not going to be nearly enough storage (for the system, applications and data combined) and you will be looking at getting an external hard drive anyway.
For comparison purposes, I have a late 2009 MBP with 8GB RAM, 750GB hard drive and it runs Adobe CS6 Design Suite (Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator & Acrobat), Aperture and Final Cut perfectly - plenty of speed and performance. Your 2012 MBP with 16GB will be even better for these apps.

Re: Need advice on upgrading from 12.0.4 to 12.1.3 efficiently

Hi Hussein :
Just some clarification needed. I'm setting up a new EBS r12 instance
Initially, I've already done Upgrading to the Latest OracleAS 10g 10.1.3.x Patch Set in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 [ID 454811.1].
Then I ran into Upgrading OracleAS 10g Forms and Reports in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 [ID 437878.1].
Question is
454811.1 already upgrades Forms Version to the latest 10.1.2.3.0. Do I still have to go through the patches/steps outlined in 437878.1? It (437878.1) does list many more patches than 454811.1. Do I have to install the patches in the second doc (437878.1)?
