Photoshop CS is a Powerbook application and isn't supported in Lion

Is there anything I can do? I just bought a new MacBook Pro today because my MacBook Air (Snow Leopard) is having problems (my fault), and I discover that Photoshop application (CS1) doesn't work in Lion. I can't afford to buy another Photoshop and I only use it for my own personal use, not for work or anything, and the CS1 version has been excellent for that over the years. I am really disappointed by this, and I really did not want to change operating systems for this reason (because of compatibility issues arising).
Is there any program like Rosetta that I can install? I don't know much about Lion. I am familiar with Snow Leopard as I've used it for three years and it has been really good, no compatibility issues with programs from my old Powerbook.
If I can't use Photoshop that will mean a lot of decrease in the quality of the utility of using this new computer. I wish I had bought a second hand MacBook Pro or something like that with Snow Leopard on it. As I've said I've had VERY few issues with Snow Leopard.
There are other applications that are cheap or free that I can use instead of PS but I have gotten used to PS and I don't really want to learn how to use another application.
Is it possible to use PS by sticking the external hard drive with the backup of Snow Leopard stuff from the MacBook into the USB port of the new computer and then using it that way? I can move files I need to work on over to the external drive.

I tried to get an upgrade. I was told in an email that it's not possible to upgrade to CS 4 or 5 from CS1. I wasted a lot of time trying to upgrade because on the Adobe website, they say it's possible but you can't find the upgrade. I spent two days trying to buy and download the upgrade, and then sent an email to Adobe support. That was their reply.

Sometime ago I found a copy of Photoshop 5.5 (both the APPLICATION and TRAINING) CD's in trash. I finally am getting around to try to use this, but I do not have a serial number. I have the original CD's, not illegal copies - how can I get serial numbers

Sorry to say you are out of luck.
The serial numbers came on the cd case. If they are no longer there, you have no way of using the program except as a 30 day trial. Adobe does not sell CS5 licenses any more.

Powerbook 2400 and USB Card Support

I have a Powerbook 2400 with a PCMCIA slot. I also have a Belkin USB Adapter for the slot that works fine with a Powerbook G3. I also must run Mac OS 8.6 because of an old program I use everyday. The 2400 slot works with a modem card so I know it is not defective.
I downloaded Apple's USB Card Support 1.4.1, which allows the USB card support in pre 9.0 Macs. The notes say it will work with any PowerPC Mac. When I try to install it on the 2400, the window comes up saying this card suppot software is not supported on this machine. It works fine on the G3 running 8.6.
Is there any work around so that I can use this card in the 2400?
Thanks,

The dialogue box "...USB DDK..." went away with your instructions for including "usbx", BUT the 2400 froze on restart.
I removed the "usbx" version of the USB Support Extension and went back to the USB Support Extension without "usbx". I restarted and it came up without the dialogue box. (?????). No freezing. So the dialogue box problem was solved.
With the old (non "usbx" support extension) installed, I inserted my Belkin USB card. I then inserted the little Memorex USB in the left slot of the two slot card spaces and it didn't work. I inserted it into the right slot and the little light on the Memorex flashed and the icon came upon the desktop. Hurray!!!
Success!
I am a bit confused by all of this.
1. With Plan B, it took code inserted into the resource window, "usbx" (pardon me if I use the wrong terms here) to get rid of the dialogue box (DDK) which came up on all restarts.
2. That froze the 2400.
3. Replacing it with the original USB Support Extension (without "usbx") allowed the 2400 to restart without freezing or the dialogue box.
4. BUT my hardware Belkin card seems to mount USB drives on the right USB slot only.
Anyway it seems to be working, and you guys are phenomenal. My PC using husband is totally impressed by what you have been able to help me do. And I am reminded of how much fun it used to be to do this kind of stuff on my old Macs when we could still work with the extension folder.
Do you have any further analysis on this, otherwise I'll close it out as question answered? Bless you!

SLCM BSP Applications and Firefox 2 Support

Hi,
I have looked through the Web browser support grid in the NW 7 documentation from the Product Availability Matrix, and also have read note #598860. From these I was unable to infer what the current and future status of Firefox 2 support is for the SLCM BSP applications, especially PIQ_AUDIT (and the Advisor UI that is supposed to be available).
Is there any definitive source of information about Firefox support in SLCM 6.x? (Firefox 2 support is broken for the PIQ_AUDIT application in SLCM 4.72, and I need to make sure that students with this browser can use PIQ_AUDIT for self-service in SLCM 6.x.)
Thanks,
Eric
P.S. I saw the information about how Safari is treated as IE 6. But, it would be nice to know explicitly that this browser is fully supported as well.

Note #598860 has apparently been updated, and Firefox >= 2.0 is considered officially supported for DESIGN2003-based BSP applications.
Chances for official Safari support do not look good however.

PowerPC Applications are no longer supported since Lion was installed

Would someone please tell me what this is all about? My applications are not runnning since I downloaded Lion. Why would Apple do this? Why are they forcing me to purchase new software? Isn't a Mac Pro supposed to handle these applications? Why would they make an OS like this?
Please tell me that I am doing something wrong here and Apple is not costing me a fortune in new software.

I myself am EXTREMELY upset about this change with Lion. I feel I wasted my $$$ upgrading because I am a NURSING student who spent a lot of money on learning tools to make myself "A BETTER NURSE for in the future", a nurse that needs these tools that are no longer supported and able to use because of Lion-I bet the people that came up with that not so bright idea did not think that well when they get sick, their nurse that had a MAC could have provided better care if she/he would have been able to use her learning tools Related to NURSING AND PROVIDING CARE FOR PATIENTS. I do not think these people clearly thought this through. I do not believe too many learning tools for any field these days comes with a cd strictly for Mac users. And what ***** is I have an IMAC and a Macbook Pro. They need to fix this. This semester is almost up and I really need to be able to use these tools in my Macs.
I know this thread is old but I had to respond because I FEEL YOUR PAIN!! I am also a nursing student and for months now NONE of my resources work anymore!! I've been using my bf's PC and I'm getting sick of it and finally am taking the time today to try and revert back to Leapord. I can't take it anymore!!!!!!

? Why does my Photoshop PS2 open on my Mac Book Pro OS 10.6.8 Intel Core 2 Processor but not on my just purchased Mac Book Pro OS 10.7.3? On my new machine I get a message saying "You can't open Photoshop CS2 because Power PC applications are no longer supported". I don't have a Power PC on either machine and this App does run on the older machine with an Intel processor. benrusy

This is not new. The fact that Mac OS no longer supports PowerPC applications starting with OS X Lion has been known for over a year now. You'll need to upgrade to the latest version of Photoshop

You can't open the application "Belkin USB Peripheral Switch.app" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.

Getting this message ever since I upgraded from Snow leopard.

Power PC applications have not been supported since Lion was introduced last year. You might want to check with Belkin to see if they offer an Intel version.

I installed Lion 10.7.4. Went to use Photoshop Cs and got a popup window. You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Is there a way of getting this to work or do I have to get the all new!

I installed Lion 10.7.4. Went to use Photoshop Cs and got a popup window. You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Is there a way of getting this to work or do I have to get newest version of all of my Power PC apps?

Welcome to Apple Communities
PowerPC applications are unsupported in newer versions. You can upgrade Photoshop or you can install Snow Leopard in a partition.
1. Open Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities) and select your drive
2. Go to Partitions tab, press + button, create a new partition and press Apply
3. Insert the Snow Leopard install DVD and reboot pressing C key
4. Install it in the new partition
5. If you want to change boot, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select 10.7

I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11. PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files. What do I need to do?

You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Lion is Not compatible with PPC (Power PC) based software, such as your older version of PhotoShop. Your choices are you can either upgrade to the newer version of PhotoShop, or you can backup your data and apps, erase your harddrive and reinstall Snow Leopard.
Hope this helps

Photoshop CS6 is not installing properly and i am unable to locate the application

HELP ME!!!! My trial Photoshop CS6 is not installing properly and i am unable to locate and open the application on my mac. I am just going around in circles from file to file and back to the starting "intall" icon

I am on the Adobe Download Assistant. It was stuck at "less than a minute" for an hour and a half, showing that the installation was basically done, since the installation bar was full. But it was stuck. Now it has stopped all together, and is restarting the download from scratch.
Apparently it does not save the download, or only saves a small portion.
c:\adobe/CS6MasterCollection/MasterCollection_CS6_LS16.7z.adadownload
It is at 85.6 MB, even though a short time ago it was close to 99.9% done with the 6,352 MB download.
My internet connection is fine, all is working, and I am able to browse, etc.
I have been careful to keep activity minimal on the computer, so as to avoid conflicts.
The conflicts are with the Adobe Download Assistant.
I amabout ready to just give up, and look for alternatives.
Please help.

Nobody can know. Your information is far too vague - no system info, no other details. Just saying that it doesn't work is not conducive to providing assistance...
