No problem, glad to help! According to the link in dougofakkad's post CS6 is the earliest version compatible with Mavericks.
"Adobe Photoshop CS5, CS4, and CS3 were also tested with Mac OS X Mavericks and there are currently no known major issues"
from the link. i don't know what the legal deal is with buying/using secondhand older versions, someone else may be able to fill you in.

    This problem appears after opening 4 a 5 files, rebooting helps another 4 a 5 times and appears again.

    I'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus hang out.
    Good luck.

  • CC 2014.2 Illustrator and Photoshop will not work properly on 10.7.5

    I have recently download Illustrator and Photoshop CC 2014.2 on my MacBook Pro version 10.7.5.
    I notice some of the functions where not working properly. For example Bounding box in Illustrator will not appear for rectangle tool. Color strip on the color box will appear as sold color instead of strips of different colors for me to choose.
    I called the Adobe to find out why is this happening and they told me it was because I don't have the latest OS on my MAC. Do to company policy I can't upgrade my OS to the latest version. Adobe send me the link that is not working for two times and need the correct link ASAP.
    Can you guys please send me the right link for me to downgrade?
    Thank you

    Piruki have you tried utilizing the Previous version option within the Creative Cloud Desktop application?  You can find additional details under the install Previous version section of CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

  • Issues with Win 7 & CS2. Illustrator and Photoshop have "Stopped Working"

    Hi,  New to this so I apologize in advance.  Bought a new computer in December '09. 6gig quad processor and plenty of 500gigs of disc space. NOt a Memory Issue! Installed CS2 ( 'cause the computer took all of my money!)  and all worked fine until 4 days ago.  I mainly use illustrator and photoshop. When I tried to save a document... The programs simply "Stopped Working"  I'm a rookie with the tech stuff so please speak slowly and simply....  I would appreciate any help as I'm losing money and work right now!  Thanks

    CS2 is totally unsupported under Win 7. And if you have 6 gigs of RAM I'll guess that it's a 64 bit system which simply adds to the complexity.
    Sorry, but the best advice you'll get is to upgrade.

  • New .Mac Web Gallery features don't work in Opera

    I'm seriously bummed that these really amazing new features don't work in Opera. Only Opera has a full-screen viewing mode. Utilizing these .Mac features in full-screen mode is like using iPhoto in full-screen mode.

    Haven't tried it myself, but when it was announced I thought they mentioned it works in "every" browser. What happens when you use it in Opera?

  • New Mac Mini and Photoshop CS3

    I'm thinking of getting a new 2.0 GHz Mac Mini but am wondering if the built-in Intel GMA 950 graphics processor has enough horsepower for moderate-duty Photoshop CS3 work (all photo editing) using a Dell 24" Ultasharp widescreen LCD monitor? All the specs I read seem to suggest that the 950 can handle what I'm asking, but I'd like to hear from somebody who is doing CS3 work on a Mini with a 24" LCD monitor before taking the plunge.
    Thanks.

    It does indeed mean that if you put 4Gb RAM in a Core 2 Duo mini it will only be able to see 3Gb of it. There is, however, no real downside or risk in fitting 3Gb RAM into the system even though Apple only specs it up to 2Gb. The only 'issue' is that to fit 3Gb, you would need unmatched RAM modules (1 1Gb and 1 2Gb stick) which means you loose the optimum performance of matches pairs of RAM. However, the loss of performance from that would generally be exceeded by the gain in performance from the additional 1Gb RAM available to MacOS.
    Upgrading RAM yourself is not easy, but it is certainly not hard for someone with a little experience of working inside computers and who can do such work with care. You need a couple of thin putty knives (or pastry knives if you are more at home in the kitchen than garden) to get the case open, and some disassembly is required, but it isn't a difficult task. If you look down the page at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/mac_mini/intel you'll see links for a video of what's entailed.

  • New Mac Book and Photoshop Elements

    My daughter just bought a new MacBook (Mac OS X 10.5.4 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM) and tried to install my Photoshop Elements software onto it. My Photoshop is kind of old (Elements 2.0), but I use it on my Mac all the time with no problems. But when she installed it, it didn't work right. When she opens it, it goes through it's usual start up stuff, then she gets a window that says "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. Photoshop will now exit." What does this mean? Is there anything I can do to help her use this software?
    TIA,
    Sue

  • • Just downloaded Camera Raw 8.3/8.4, and Photoshop don't open any of my files anymore!

    Hello -
    I fallen today on this update of Camera Raw  ->  http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2011/03/keeping-photoshop-up-to-date.html#notconnected
    (See the sentence "Direct download links for Camera Raw 8.3 for Photoshop CS6").
    And I saw Camera Raw 8.4 for CS6 (I'm currently working with this version).
    Strange you read "8.3", but the link says "8.4"…
    So cool, I directly downloaded and applied the "update". And the update has been successfully installed… If I may believe the below window (screenshot).
    Just after, I opened Photoshop® CS6, and boummm now I can't open my pictures anymore! 
    Photoshop® tells me that:
    So what's wrong? Did I something wrong?
    Could anyone help me on this?
    Thank you, have a nice day…

    Are you using mac os x 10.6 snow leopard?
    If so, camera raw 8.4 doesn't work on snow leopard.
    You'll have to revert to camera raw 8.3

    I thought adobe was supposed to fix the installers so camera raw 8.4 wouldn't install on snow leopard

  • New Mac BookPro and Presonus Firebox. Are these compatible?

    I have a new model MacBook Pro and am considering buying a Presonus Firebox audio interface for recording. This is a few years old, so i'm just wondering if the Firebox's drivers are compatible with it.
    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

    Update: my Firebox arrived last night, and my Firewire 400-to-800 adapter arrived today so I had the chance to hook things up and give it a try. I didn't break out the mics, but as a direct interface for my Tele, it seems to work great, even bus-powered without using the wall wart. I plan on pulling out a couple condenser mics tomorrow and do some test recordings of acoustic stuff.

  • USB mouse and keyboard don't work on HP Pavilion g7 2203sd, Windows 8.1.

    It is not possible to use a USB mouse or keyboard on the HP Pavilion g7 2203sd notebook running Windows 8.1.
    A wireless mouse used to work (already some time ago), but now wired or wireless mouse and keyboard don't work any more.
    I have tried removing USB devices in the Windows Device Manager and let Windows detect them again, but it does not work.
    I read somewhere that it might have to do with the xHCI USB controller that is installed.
    I tried removing that and connecting the USB mouse but no succes.
    I also looked for driver updates or something to disbale in the BIOS (like xHCI), but nothing found for that.
    Can anybody help me with this problem.

  • Illustrator and photoshop 2014 work perfectly, while Indesign crashes the entire operating system (mac osx 10.7)

    Hi all,
    Recently updated to CC 2014, and while both Illustrator and Photoshop run perfectly, every time I launch Indesign it crashes my entire operating system, forcing me to restart the computer.
    I'm running Mac OS 10.7. Should also mention that clean unistall/install did nothing to fix the issue.
    Anyone else having the same issue? Please help.

    Hi Sumit
    Why can’t I have any answer from Adobe? I bought a licence and now I can’t work with the software.

  • Installing classic illustrator and photoshop to Mac os Tiger

    How can I install classic illustrator and photoshop applications to Mac os Tiger
      Mac OS X (10.4)  

    Illustrator 10 and Photoshop 7 were the first OSX version, the next version of each they called CS (for Creative Suite, they were really pushing buy the Suite of 4 or 5 Adobe programs which cost big bucks) and the latest versions are CS2. I've heard of many having problems with CS2 so I haven't upgraded. Both Illustrator CS and Photoshop CS work well in Tiger.
    But!!... on an Intel Mac programs need to be Universal versions, specifically designed to run on Intel Macs, older version can run but will open in to an emulation mode, Rosetta, that runs much slower, you will be running at least 50% slower than on a G5. But it's not like Classic, you won't even know when Rosetta is running.
    And, apparently there are problems converting Illustrator and Photoshop to Universal and it's going to take a while. The rumor is that CS2 will not be updated, you'll have to wait for CS3 and there is no planned release date for that yet.
    On the other hand, I read a recent article that said if you install Windows XP on an Intel Mac (Apple has a free program called Boot Camp that will do this but you need to buy XP), then the XP version of Photoshop will run really fast, faster than most boxes running XP. Oooo, the irony!
    Anyway, there is a program that allows you to run a Classic emulation on the Intel Macs but I can't find my bookmark on it so you'll have to do a web search (or someone can post it).
    I'm assuming you already have the Classic versions. You'd probably be better off getting the Classic emulation and running those until Adobe upgrades to Universal software. Kind of a waste to spend the bucks on brand new versions of Illustrator and Photoshop now when the versions you need are probably a year away.
