Photoshop CS5.1 and Lion Server (MacMini Mid 2011)

Hello community,
I have a very big problem using Photoshop CS5.1 (Mac Mini Server-Edition Mid 2011, Lion 10.7.2) - there are several mouse-pointer issues when I try to work with brushes or stamps. Depending on the size of the brush it's not shown the correct way. The icon does not show the brush itself and when I try to use the brush the mouse pointer is not the center of the brush but the uper left corner. If I zoom into the image it's possible that the same brush is working the way it should be but if I zoom out the brush does not work again. The issue seems to depend on brush size and zoom-factor of the image.
My idea for better understanding of the problem was to record the screen activity with QuickTime. I did but as I watched the recorded photoshop activity looked perfect (allthough it did not as I recorded the actions). Now I recorded the screen activity with a movie camera, just to show, what's wrong here. Please excuse the not so perfect video quality...

It's annoying.
Very similar problem in Lightroom, mouse pointer do not work the correct way depending on brush size (brish icon is not shown in image depending on size).
Adobe does not offer support for the Server-Edition. Apple does not allow to install 10.6 on Mac Mini Mid 2011 (on my MBP Early 2011 PS CS 5.1 runs without such problems). Something's going wrong here.
I need a solution, Photoshop CS5.1 is not useable under 10.7.2 Server. Anyone may help?
Thank you.
André

Hello Doug,
thank you for your answer. First of all: Adobe says that it's an Apple problem. Apple says that I'm not allowed to install any other OS than Lion Server on my machine - even the "normal" Lion OS seems to be not allowed.
For me as a customer this situation is not very satisfying - I try to run a 1500$ software suite on a 1000$ Apple computer and it does not work, but nobody even tries to solve this issue. Adobe offers no support, Apple offers no bug fixes.
This problem, btw, also appears when a MacBook Air is used. Even some MacBook Pros seem to be unable to run Phootshop CS5.1 under Lion. For me this does not look like an Lion server-issue.

AEBS and Lion Server DHCP

Hi All!
I have a scenario I want some input on.
1 Mac Mini Lion Server 10.7.2
1 TC 2nd Gen
x iPads
x iPhones
2 Lion clients
I want to use the Lion Server for all collaboration services, and use Profile Manager to provide central management of iOS and Lion clients, and I want to use network accounts on the server.
All is set up and working well, mail, ical, wiki, addressbook, VPN servers, profile manager settings, apart from one thing. how do I best push DNS server settings to the client to point to the server?
In the TC there are no way to set what DNS server is served to clients. That would solve my case in an instant. Now all clients get the ISPs DNS servers, or pass-through of whatever DNS server is set up on the TC.
I have 2 possible solutions:
1. Set up TC to only provide 1 DHCP address reserved for the server, and then use DHCP on the Lion Server for the internal clients. This will work as it has been tested by other users here on this forum.
2. Set the DNS server on the TC to point to the local Lion Server. I actually just came up with this idéa as I was typing.... maybe that is the answer? The inernal clients get the internal server as DNS and the server uses forwarders or roothints.
What do you think? If you have this combo, TC/AEBS and Lion Server, how did you solve it?

Hi All!
I actually found the solution myself. Soluton 2 does the trick brilliantly! I can't imagine why I didn't think of this before. I have searched this forum for a solution too, but this just was too easy . The Lion Server advanced admin guide didn't mention this either, even in the chapter about AEBS coexistance.

I am downloading from a Canon 650D to Photoshop CS5.1 AND Adobe Bridge CS5.1 do i need to download a DNG convertor? if so how do i get the images from the camera to the convertor?

Please check the list yourself and co,mare the necessary CR version with the one your version of Photoshop utilizes.
If the version os higher than yours you can use the free DNG Converter – as to how to use it please read up on that.

Where can I find the Java SE 6 runtime download so I can get Adobe Photoshop CS5 up and running again.

Where can I find the Java SE 6 runtime download so I can get Adobe Photoshop CS5 up and running again. I have to go this route. Currently on my Mac, I need to be running Java 7.65 for work-related stuff. I went to the Java site, but could not find anything that simply says "Java SE 6 runtime" ... Or, is there another way to get CS5 up and running with my recent Yosemite download?

No, I can't go that route. I have to stick with my current Java 7.65 ... Our IT department said just to download SE6 Runtime separately ... If I was understanding that correctly. Or, can you have two different versions of Java running ... 6 ... and 7.65?

I currently have Photoshop CS5 standard, and want to upgrade to CS5 Extended to get the 3D capabilities. Is this possible, I don't see any CS5 upgrades available? I tried to download a new trial version as well, but my current operating system will not support it, so I'd like to stick w/ a version of CS5 that will allow me to work in 3D. What are my options?

You can upgrade to CS6 extended for $400

I have Photoshop CS5 Extended and it says updates available but when i download the updates it says updates failed please try again later, i have tried a few times and get the same message any help would be great i am running 64bit on windows 8

I am running Windows 7 64 bit ultimate and have the same problem. My hard drive crashed, installed a new one and then reinstalled CS5 extended. Installation went fine, but can no longer open my camera RAW files from Photoshop (camera is a Canon EOS T2i. The message also tells me I am not eligible for the update. I am... and I cannot open my files and I could before. I can find nowhere to contact Adobe to tell me how to proceed. My daughter is all a registered user of the same product and she had no problems upgrading... we purchased ours each at the same time. I do know the difference is that I had to reinstall and she did not. If that means anything.

Lion and lion server add on for Mac Mini Server

I bought the Lion OS and Lion Server add on for my Mac Mini Server which runs Snow Leopard Server. When trying to install the Lion,
it requests the Add on to be available, however the add on requests the Lion to be already installed before it can be downlaoded through
App store. I made my purchases over the phone as neither was available in stores anymore. Egg and chiken dilema.
I do not have a physical DVD with the Snow Leopard (Client) to follow some of the instructions I have read in the communities. Any
workaround?

For the Mini you must have Lion client installed to purchase the Server. You can download Lion from the Mini while it's running Snow Leopard. Once Lion is installed you should then be able to purchase the Server.
Unlike past OS X Server releases the bulk of the software is within the Lion client. The Server is more or less a type of add-on to provide all the Server utilities and support. It's a relatively small download compared to the client.

MacMini mid-2011/ Yosemite w Samsung Syncmaster monitor

Hello all.
I have been happily working with my MacMini mid-2011 (2.3Ghz Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM) with a Samsung Syncmaster B2440 HDMI-connected to it for a long time.
Since the upgrade to Mavericks and later to Yosemite, the following problem occurs: when switching the monitor off, and later switching it back on, no video signal is sent to the monitor, which remains blank and tries to switch through all its different inputs. Unplugging the hdmi cable and plugging it back in also gives no joy. It looks like the whole video output services are switch off at OS level or something.
The only thing I can do to get the monitor on, oddly enough, is to connect to the mac mini through a remote desktop from another device, and switching the display to my AppleTV. This action does switch also the Samsung monitor back on.
So I then thought, great, I will create myself an apple script and a workflow associated to this AirPlay monitor switch and associate it to a keyboard shortcut, but this does not appear to work either (no, the shortcut is not in conflict with any other global shortcut).
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Joe

Hi lllass.
When I tried that it appeared to work, but after some days it started doing it again. I am really puzzled by this.
Thanks

Will photoshop CS5 work with Lion

I need to get a new photoshop, mine is out of date. Will Photoshop CS5 work with OS 10.7.2? Adobe doesn't include 10.7.2 in their tech specs.

I have it and it runs fine on Lion.

Adding a new Epson scanner to Photoshop CS5.1 on LION computer

We just recently (today, in fact) installed a new Epon flatbed scanner on an iMac running MAC OS 10.7.2. It already had Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 on it. It seems that no matter what we do, when we click on File on go to Import, the scanner option is not there. I am not an experienced Photoshop user (or an experienced Mac person), I am going by what the end user tells me should be there and how its supposed to work. She needs to be able to scan from the new scanner in Photoshop. Is there documentation somewhere that tells us how to get Photoshop to "see" the scanner.
The computer is a brand new (a month old) iMac that came with LION. We had to replace to replace the old scanner becsause it was not supported in LION (supposedly the one we just bought is).

Are there scanners out there that Photoshop CS5.1 version 12.1 for Macintosh will just recognize without all the intervention by an I.T. person. Will Photoshop allow scanning from within the application with any scanner? (the user thinks we should just get another scanner)
It's important to understand that scanning into Photoshop is not directly between Photoshop and the scanner (hardware). The entire process depends on what scanning software mediates between Photoshop and the scanner. Photoshop just sits there and waits for software to hand it an image. The scanner just sits there and waits for some software to ask for a scan. So it should not be necessary to change the scanner itself. Instead, try changing the scanning software.
When the software that comes with the scanner doesn't do what someone wants, sometimes they turn to third-party scanning software. I use VueScan, which has historically run as a separate application, but recently added the option to be launched from within Photoshop as a plug-in and return the image straight into Photoshop, just like she wants. As long as your scanner is on the supported list, this is a possible solution. But it'll cost a little money.
VueScan is an good example of how critical software is to scanning. Many people use VueScan to get around limitations of the bundled software. Sometimes they want more features than the scanner's own software came with. Sometimes they need it because the bundled software no longer works in the latest Mac or Windows OS, so it lets people keep running old scanners for many more years, instead of having to buy a new one.

Why Does Photoshop CS5 crashes under Lion?

Using Photoshop CS5 on MacPro desktop computer. Eer since Lion PSCS5 crashes after booting and working for a few minutes. Worked in 10.6 just fine.
What is going on?
Dick Foster Sonoma CA

The Adobe engineers report that Lion has many problems they can't fix. Check the Adobe forums for details.
This forum here is for Power Macs (non-Intel machines) which cannot run either Lion or Photoshop CS5.

Can you run Lion os and Lion Server os on the same Mac mini?

I'm a windows convert to Mac and I'm interested in running a standard Lion Client, but at the same time running Lion Server on the same Mac Mini (Server Edition). My needs for the Lion Server OS is to handle e-mail, a Web Site, and file sharing between the server to a secondary PC, iPad, and iPhone. But at the same time I wish to dive into the Mac (Apple) experience. I just wish to be able to do this on the same machine.
As a secondary question, is it possible to merge two different iTune Accounts into one? Is it possible to share items purchased on one iTunes account with an iPad that is tied to a different iTunes Account?

1. Yes, but you'll need separate partitions for each OS, or run the client OS in emulation.
2. It isn't possible to combine the accounts, but a single iTunes library can contain content from multiple iTunes Store accounts.

VPN and Lion Server

I set up a VPN on my OS X Lion server however it seems there is a probelm with the file permissions. I set the permission to Read and Write, however when connected through the VPN I open a document, edit and save, it saves as a "read only" document and locks file. In Filemaker Pro if I create a document when connected through the VPN and save it on my server, no one connected to the network can open it. Any ideas?
Thanks

any help please?
I read that it my be firmware 7.5.2 and downgrading to 7.4.2 resolves it. Well, that would work if I had 7.4.2 but it's not available under the firmware update.

Photoshop CS5 opens and says "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working"

Hey guys.. I hit this problem tonight after trying for several hours to open Adobe PS CS5.
Photoshop worked earlier today and i have made no changes on my PC since running PS again.
I am running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 64bit
I have tried Pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ALT to delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings File with no success.
I have rebooted my computer several times.
I have ran as administrator.
As far as I can tell it has something to do with KERNELBASE.dll
You guys are my last chance.. THANK !
