Photoshop 7 is dead - with Leopard

Well Leopard killed Photoshop 7 on my MacBook, don't know about my G5 yet.

However, if you take that approach that Apple did there job then you will be happy with a hydrogen powered car that only has a 100 mile range. Just because you have to fill up 3 or 4 times more a week is just part of the game.
What happens is Apple or MS release a new operating system and a lot of third party programs no longer work. If no one updates everything is cool. But then your boss buys a new computer with this new operating system and you send your boss a file from one of these applications but your boss can't open it. This requires everyone in the office to either (a) upgrade their software, (b) buy a new computer, (c) live with converting files for the boss, or (d) convincing your boss to down grade.
It is all part of the evil cycle of forcing people to upgrade and purchase things they don't need.

  • Weird Photoshop launching Problem with Leopard - Help!

    Program: Photoshop 10.0 from CS3 Design Premium
    Computer: Mac OSX leopard Version 10.5.1., Intel core 2 Duo.
    Problem: When I launch Photoshop I get this message: "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked. Use the 'Get Info' command in the Finder to unlock the file.
    Well, I select the program icon (which is what the message is referring to as "the file") then I go to the 'Get Info' window it shows that program is not locked. I have uninstalled the program, and even the whole suite and reinstalled it a number of times, but nothing works. HELP!
    All the other programs open fine except for the InDesign which will open, but not for long before it quits. No error message pops up with the InDesign.
    HELP!!!

    Hi Folks!
    Well, I have spent a lot of time going back and forth between Adobe and Apple techs for days, and it comes down to this:
    I was told by both that I could do a clean install of the Leopard and chance that the Adobe Photoshop and InDesign will still have the same problems, or I can wait for Adobe to work on fixes for the software.
    When I originally installed the Leopard it was installed over the original Tiger operating system. I have loads of software on the computer, Quark, MS Office, CS3 Design Premium, and much more and other than some issues with my AOL everything works perfectly except the problem mentioned above with Photoshop and InDesign. AOL is working on a new software for Leopard which should come out soon. It seems that Adobe needs to do the same with Photoshop and InDesign, or make fixes for the many problem, which from I read they are trying to do.
    I would really hate to do a clean install on my computer, with all the work that comes with it reinstalling software, printer drivers, etc., just to find that Photoshop and InDesign will still have problems.
    From some of what I read from others on this string, and in other areas of the forum, it looks like people are often having problems with Photoshop and InDesign even if they did a clean install.
    If anyone had done a clean install and are still having problems, please mention it on this string.
    THANK YOU!!

  • Will Photoshop CS1 work with Leopard (OS 10.5.X)?

    Due to budgets restraints, I cannot afford to update Adobe Photoshop. I have been using Photoshop CS1 on OS 10.4.11. If I update to OS 10.5.X, will I be able to use CS1? I cannot seem to find another source for an answer to this question so I am trying the forum. Any input would be most helpful!

    It may but not reliably. All you can do is try. But backup your current system in case you find that you need to return to 10.4.x.

  • Is classic dead with Leopard

    I have just moved up from OSX 10.4.11 to OSX 10.5.8 on my Duel 2.3 GHz Power PC Mac. By upgrading my existing system, this has removed the Classic OS.9 from it, (which I knew it would). However is there any way of having OSX 9 (classic) running with the OSX 10.5.8 system, by in some way reinstalling it. I have applications in both camps that I would still like to make use of on the same computer if I can.

    OSX 10.4.11/Classic is running on the PB, and I have a partition on the G5. I linked the two together and installed OSX 10.4.11/Classic on the partition. Restarted, I sellected it on the G5 Start up disc and tried to restart with it. The G5 locked up at the Apple screen then had a Kernel Panic, so I quickly reversed the process, and am now looking for Plan-B.
    Is it possible to separate out Classic from OSX 10.4.11 and only load that to the partition on the G5?
    I have found that I still have a copy of OS9 on a CD but it appears to be just an update to OS 9.2.1.
    Further suggestions would be most welcome, to have OS 9 or classic running with OSX 10.5.8.

  • Photoshop and iPhoto will not open with Leopard

  • Anyone else having a Problem with Leopard and Photoshop CS3?

    I'm using CS3 with Leopard 10.5.4 at work and there are some very aggravating anomalies, that I'd like to nail down to a cause. Most frequently, when switching from apps to P'Shop, the menu bar stays for the previous app, i.e. when going from Finder to P'shop, the menu bar still says Finder and has Finder options. Changing from Lightwave to P'Shop, the menu bar remains Lightwave.
    Occasionally, an Adobe app - P'Shop or InDesign - will simply disappear and not come back. The icon in the dock shows it as active, but no amount of clicking, Command-Tabbing will reveal the app and I have to Force Quit, losing unsaved changes.
    I have a feeling it's Leopard, since, I've used CS3 on Tiger and CS4 on Tiger and never had a problem.
    I'm wondering if upgrading to the latest Leopard would make much of a difference.
    Has anyone come across this and found any kind of answers?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    > Just because it doesn't happen to Phil (who may not use all of the same features of the Suite that others do anyway) does NOT mean that these problems are not real and are not mere PEBCAK.
    Right. If someone is having a problem associated with Tiger, it's PEBAK. If Leopard is involved, it's automatically because of Leopard. Apparently, with Apple's latest OS, trouble shooting problems are no longer necessary - just blame it on Leopard and call it a day.
    b FUD
    I find the dynamics here really interesting. This thread would have been very different if Vincent had posted with problems involving Tiger. Would have gone something like this:
    After admonishing him for not providing more information about his setup by posting the obnoxious big blue link on how to ask questions (ahem - we know NOTHING about his machine or configuration, such as which machine, how much RAM, scratch disk or attached peripherals), there'd be all kinds of trouble shooting advice given - "try a new user", "repair permissions", "run DiskWarrior, and on and on ...
    But no, since he mentions Leopard, none of that is apparently necessary and the completely, utterly
    b irresponsible
    advice is given ... "that's just the way Leopard is".
    Those are some serious problems he's reporting that have nothing to do with Leopard. Something is obviously hosed!
    As for discounting my experience because I don't use every app in the suite as extensively as I do Photoshop, I'm FAR more qualified to discuss Leopard and CS issues than Ann or Neil who do not use Leopard at all (and have never used it as far as I know.)
    "Others have problems with it", is their battle cry but it's extremely weak. Do I really need to remind you all that these forum are ALWAYS filled with people who have problems, regardless of version or OS? You act as if this forum was a ghost town when Tiger and CS3 were current!
    Gee, Ann ... people are STILL reporting problems with 10.5 and CS3? How shocking! Guess what - people are STILL reporting problems with 10.4 and CS3 too! Let me make a prediction - people will have problems with 10.8 and CS9!
    Vincent-
    > I don't really deal with fonts anyway ...
    Yes. You do. Even if you never type a single line of text, every application uses fonts to create menus and other GUI items. If one of those fonts are bad, it can create all kinds of problems, including the very problems you mention.
    The fact that you don't seem aware of this and you're still using 10.5.4 leads me to believe you're not familiar with the basic practices of maintaining a healthy system. Again, how did you install Leopard on that machine?
    Look, if you're simply trying to justify using CS4, go right ahead. It's a worthwhile upgrade in it's own right. However, if you install it on that machine in it's current state, CS4 will NOT fix your problems because you do NOT have a healthy system.
    You asked for experiences with Leopard - I can launch every application in both CS3 and CS4 suites
    i simultaneously,
    and STILL not have your issues. I haven't experienced anything like your CS3 problems in Leopard - on both a 2006 Mac Pro and a 2008 Macbook.
    If you'd like help to try and figure out the real problem, I'm more than happy to help. If not, Adobe will gladly take your money ...

  • Is Adobe Photoshop CS compatible with Snow Leopard?

    Which Adobe Photoshop is compantible with Snow Leopard? I have MacBookPro 10.5.8 and I upgraded the memory to 4 GB. If I go to 10.6.8 with Snow Leopard, what version of Adobe Photoshop would I need to have?
    Thanks

    Your post has nothing to do with AirPort Networking. You may find that you will get better results if you post to one of the other Communities areas like the Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard or Other Pro Video. 

  • Can Photoshop 7.0 be used to upgrade Photoshop 6.0 on a Mac G5 with Leopard 10.5.8 ?[was: gonzo1944]

    Can Photoshop 7.0 be used to upgrade Photoshop 6.0 on a Mac G5 with Leopard 10.5.8 or will it not work unless it is in the Classic envoirnment?

    To R. Kelly.....I am old school in Mac, I love my G5...I do have a Bachelors degree in Electronic Publishing, but I graduated in 95'...so, not meaning to bore you...I do have Photoshop 6.0 and was unaware, though I purchased Leopard throught the Mac store, that the classic would no longer be available. I do a great deal of work in Photoshop and Illustrator and I guess my main question is....where do I go from here?
    I know that CS-5 Photoshop is a whole new program and I checked with Adobe and on Amazon and it is not cheap, I know enough to deal through an authorized dealer...My Mac is a power PC G5 that I purchased in 2005. What version of Photoshop do I need to purchase so that it is compatible with leopard?  I have much work piled up to do and this would help me greatly.
    Thank you for your help and any help you can provide for me,

  • Photoshop Crashing after Loading with Leopard

    Is anyone else having this problem?
    Photoshop CS3 loads up fine with Leopard, but a few seconds after the tool bars appear, it crashes. I tried re-installing Photoshop, but the same thing happens.
    Any suggestions?

    If you use the "upgrade" option to install a new OS, there is a good likelihood of running into trouble later on. The "Archive and Install" option is the way to go.
    Also:
    I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
    I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.
    I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.
    This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations. Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.
    Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) may NOT help. Try it anyway, though.
    ====
    Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
    Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.
    If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
    Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
    Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
    Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large.
    Also, from: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
    The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
    NOTE:
    There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.

    If you have DiskWarrior, run it regularly too.

  • Canon CD Tray incompatible with Leopard?

    Hi,
    I'm a "happy" owner of Canon's iP4200 Pixma printer and I've occassionally used it's CD-Tray C for printing CD labels. This worked fine on my PC but ever since I got my Mac Mini with Leopard, I haven't been able to get it to work. Causal printing (even in color) works all fine, but as soon as I set up LabelPrint, pick the right tray, the right disc type and everything, it just coughs up an Error 1001 (claiming the CD isnt in the tray or the tray isnt in there) and it just pushes it out of the printer physically.
    From what I've read, this is a casual problem for Mac owners, but everybody has been able to solve it by printing the actual file to PDF in the past; and then printing the PDF itself. This does not work for me, it gives me the same error (and it does the same when printing from Adobe Photoshop).
    This makes me think it must be either a driver error or something in Leopard; I do have both the latest Leopard (10.5.1), the latest Canon drivers (4.8.3) and the latest LabelPrint (1.6.0)
    I could print the covers over the network from a Windows notebook, but Mac-printer sharing only works with the Apple LaserWriter driver which is both slow and does not of course support any features like CD tray printing etc. Installing the printer with its correct Windows driver and trying to print over it just results in it not working; Windows printer queue is empty and so is the Mac's.
    Do I have to buy another printer? And god **** it, what brand if not Canon? Is it even possible to print properly with Canon on Mac?
    Thanks for any replies!
    Daniel

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    See my printer FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
    which may have some solutions for you.
    Also note, printing labels for CDs is unwise. It has nothing to do with Mac or PC. Labels shorten the length of CDs. http://www.macintouch.com/cdrfailure.html covers that and much more. Basically for CDs, you should buy CDs that are prepackaged in a jewelcase, and not a spindle, and make your own jewelcase inserts or write on the jewelcase exterior the contents of the CD if you want to prolong the media life.

  • AE not working with Leopard and fed up

    It happened a while ago, and set it up again, and again, again.
    It all stated after upgrading to Leopard
    Today I was about to listen to some music through AE, and once again it didn't work. I had the green light on, it shows as connected in my router setup page. I have change internet suppliers a couple of month ago and have brand new router, but it was happening with my previous router too. In fact in the last 5 months I have used 4 different router, all branded. Airport Utility couldn't find AE.
    Today I spend more than 2h simply trying to set it up again.
    It took 4 or 5 hard reset before Airport Utility finally found the AE.
    When I clicked on continue, 9 time out of 10 I got
    Base Station Error
    Airport Utility was unable to find Apple wireless device
    while it is was obliviously showing before
    and back to hard reset.
    If I connect an ethernet cable I get the self-addressed IP trouble, but strangely I have managed to set up AE only when the ethernet cable was connected, but the set-up was through WIFI, as it asked me to switch network.
    I tried to switch off the firewall with no success either.
    I looked at my local wireless networks using iStumber, and once again find some new network with the same channel as mine, so I changed mine to a channel not used. I did this a month ago already.
    As I said some how after 2h of wasted time etc, I finally managed to get it going, and started to listen to some radio with Airfoil. After about an hour of listening, it when dead again.
    Airport Utility doesn't find the device any more, like at the start of the day. iTunes doesn't make it available, my green light is on, my router shows it as connected, and of course I cannot print any more.
    I am getting really fed up. It has been working ok for a couple of years with Tiger, but with Leopard it just works when either it wants.
    After all these are Apple products, are not cheap, and don't work.
    All are with last firmware, last upgrade etc..
    Please tell me why all this is happening, why there isn't any fixes. We are 10.5.6 more than 18 month after launch of Leopard, with snow leopard about to become available. Is it because I am using a non intel machine?
    Many thanks

    Reading over your message, I am a little unclear about how far along you are in sharing your LightRoom setup with the Laptop. I am going to assume that right now Lightroom and the pictures are both on the PC and on an internal Hard Drive. And except for the scary message you had at the beginning of changing to ver 1.2, everything is working ok. Yes?
    What I'd do is wait until you get the external drive up and working. Once you are satisfied that the system works ok, and you have tested it with whatever diagnostic software you use, you are ready to start moving your images to the new drive.
    Do a good backup of your images to your backup drive.
    Move them to the hard drive from within Lightroom: Use the '+' symbol in the heading of the Folders panel to tell LR to add a new folder from the external drive to the LR folders panel, and then drag and drop the folders already in LR over to their new home.
    This way the LR Catalog will always know where the files are.
    Then when you are sure that all the image files are on the external drive and LR sees them all and everything is working correctly, exit from LR and copy the catalog file over there.
    I used to use windows systems, although I converted to Mac a few years ago. You should be able to double-click on that catalog file that is on the external drive and it should start Lightroom and you should be good to go.
    I just used the word "should" three times meaning I'm not really positive about that last step; if I'm wrong I hope someone on a PC will post a correction.
    Once it is working OK on the PC with the external drive Load LR on the Laptop.
    Best Wishes!

  • Print Color Management Problem w. Photoshop Elements and Tiger/Leopard

    Has anyone tried printing with ICC profiles through Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac? Apparently, it does not work on Tiger nor Leopard? My prints look very dark and over-saturated.
    The Datacolor folks, who make the Spyder3 calibrators I'm using, say my prints look like they are being "double color managed," possibly once by PSE and once by the printer driver (even though it's turned off).
    Over at the Adobe Forums some say it's a problem with Leopard. I'm not so sure, because I found that printing color management works fine on a Mac with Photoshop Elements 4.01 and Tiger. Any comments? Thanks.

    Aha! Got it. Adobe has confirmed that the problem is on their end. PSE 6 is double color managing the images. Here's what one user got in reply from Adobe on the subject. There are two separate answers:
    Thank you for contacting Adobe Technical Support.
    After consulting with my colleagues about the issue you raised, I can let you know the following:
    The issue is both on our as well as the driver software side and the workaround we have given is the best available at this time. This issue is affecting all printers, not just Epson or Canon.
    The soft proofing effect that you are seeing in the print preview is indeed an attempt at soft proofing. However since Photoshop Elements managed prints are incorrectly double colour managed it is not as useful as it was initially designed.
    As to the exact details of why this occurred, we have no official information.
    We believe that this will resolve the issues you are experiencing, however, should the reply not help solve the problem, please contact us again, quoting the case number given above, and we will re-open the case.
    Answer # 2
    We have had word back from our engineers regarding your issue.
    The Photoshop Elements team are aware of the problem and are working with Apple and the printer manufacturers to get this to work correctly. In the meantime, the only workaround is to switch off colour management in Photoshop Elements and let the printer handle the colour management.
    Unfortunately we can not make an estimation as to when a fix will be provided. We will close the case for the time being as there really is nothing more we can do about this issue besides offering the suggested workaround. Closing this case does not mean that the research will stop however and the engineers are working on a solution to this.
    As the tech noted, let the printer handle the color instead. Tell PSE not to manage color so it is the step sending the data unaltered. When the print dialogue comes up, under the Color Correction heading, change the pull down menu to "ColorSync". In the menu below that, choose the correct profile for the paper you're using. If the Brightness menu is still active, look for any choice that allows you to turn it off. If none exists, leave it on Normal. If the options below that for Color Balance and Intensity are not grayed out, make sure they are at the center positions (no effect).
    These steps are the same as before, except you're doing them in reverse. Photoshop is doing nothing and the print driver is handling the ColorSync chores rather than the other way around.

  • Issues concerning Photoshop 7.0 with OS 10.5.4

    I am trying to find out if there is anyone who has experienced any issues concerning Photoshop and OS 10.5.4? Specifically, before I installed 10.5.4 my P-Shop 7.0 was working fine. After the install I can't open it at all...the error message reads "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. Photoshop will now exit."
    +as an aside, what is the point in displaying error messages that do not offer solutions to correcting the error. As far as I am concerned, every error messages ought to offer possible causes, effects and solutions. At least you would be able to zero in on the root.+
    Anyway, back to my question. I have re-installed Photoshop and the same error message pops up. I can't find anything on the MAC site that seems to address this. I also have tried several MAC software updates thinking that might help but still nothing. The thing is, I need usuable access to the Photoshop program in order to execute aspects of my business.
    Anyone have any ideas other than scraping 10.5.6?
    Thanks for any help.

    Technically it's a surprise that version of Photoshop is working with any version of Leopard considering it's seven years old. The current version is 11.x.x. I recommend you update it.
    Error messages cannot always offer solutions when the direct cause of the error is unknown. Error messages are mainly intended for a technician not the user. If error messages were designed for users the size of the operating system would double or treble just to accommodate the text information, and the OS would be much slower.

  • Photoshop 7.0 and Leopard

    I recently installed Leopard to my imac. I have Adobe Photoshop 7.0. When I tried to open photoshop after installing Leopard, I get the following error message. "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. Photoshop will now exit." Now everything I created in photoshop gets the same message when I try to open it. I'm thinking I need to upgrade my photoshop program to Photoshop CS. When I look up the system requirements it says Mac os 10.4. Will this solve my problem or are my files lost forever?

    Photoshop 7 is not compatible with Leopard and Adobe has no plans to release an update. You'll have to upgrade.

  • HT4561 Is Photoshop 7 compatible with OS X 10.6.8?

    Is Photoshop 7 compatible with OS X 10.6.8?

    No. PS 7 was really an OS 9 application with just enough extra code (it asks if you want to install it) that allowed PS 7 to run in OS X. Since it requires OS 9 (Classic) you can't run it under any version of OS X after Tiger, 10.4.x. since Leopard and later don't support Classic.
