Photoshop for PPC Mac

I have aPPC Mac, not an Intel Mac (Imac G5, 10.5.8). I want to purchase either Photoshop (CS2?) or Photoshop Elements. All I find are versions that require an Intel Mac. How can I find and purchase versions that will work with my computer?

As a former G5 iMac owner, I can say with a good level of certainty that the days of your PPC iMac are numbered. The software issue might be moot for that reason. Since the average lifespan of a G5 iMac has manifested itself to be right around three years, anyone running a G5 PPC iMac will be finding themselves in the position of replacing their computer with an Intel based Mac in short order.

My Fix for PPC Mac flash download

I tried every suggestion people made on this forum to correct
the Flash Player download issue for PPC MAC and separately nothing
worked. I was finally able to put it all together to get the
download to work. Here is what I did step by step. I really hope it
helps some of you.
1.) Download Flash uninstaller
2.) Save the uninstaller program to the desktop by dragging
and dropping
3.) Run uninstall program
4.) Send everything adobe flash to the trash
5.) Go to Library then internet plug ins and delete any file
that has to do with Adobe Flash, EMPTY TRASH
6.) Open Quicktime, select Quick TIme Preferences, select the
advanced tab, click on MIME settings.
7.) Click the triangle next to Images and deselect Flashpix
image. Then select the triangle next to miscellaneous and deselect
flash media
8.)Select Applications, Utilities, Dish utility
9.) Select a disk at the left and then select First Aid and
then Repair Disk permissions. Do this with every disk on the left
hand side.
10.) Restart you computer
11.) Download adobe Flash installer
12.) Drag and drop installer icon to the desk top
13.) Close ALL applications and Browsers
14.) Run the install
15.) Restart computer

Thanks - I will give it a try ....again.

What r all the boot loaders for ppc macs

i need a boot loader for ppc macs something like this
But thats my intel macbook
if anyone has any idea plz reply
thanks mike

Hi, Klaus.
Klaus's method:
Selecting the boot partition can be postponed until the code common to all OSes is executed: firmware in chips, if, 'Alt' pressed, pause and display screen in NVRAM; then execute the first byte on the first boot partition pointed to by the partition table on the drive selected in NVRAM (changed by 'system preferences').
Boot Loader:
Firmware executed, then first byte on default boot drive. This has 'boot loader' with text menu offering OSes. Pause. Marks boot partition on selected drive, and sometimes copies first record of this boot partition over itself (the boot loader) and changes the CPU pointer back to first byte of new boot drive (chain loading). Very clean.
Other methods 'shoot' to permanent boot loader (with spiffy graphic menu shown) and back. All that matters is that first byte on drive where OS should continue is eventually the first byte of the OS you want.
Snow Leopard (HFS+) and GNU/Linux (ext3) make a qood pair. Both can read and write HFS+ natively. Still, if you kept eMac with Ubuntu and Firewire cable, drive damage on either could be fixed.

Possible to use iMac 27" as monitor for PPC Mac Mini (DVI)?

This question appeared on the support community, about 4 years ago, but the adapter mentioned as a solution is now discontinued.
DreadnoughtNov 14, 2010 12:27 PM
I have an old PPC-based Mac Mini that I would like to connect to my new iMac 27", but my Mac Mini has DVI output and the iMac 27" has Mini DisplayPort input. Is this the only way to connect a PPC Mac Mini (or any DVI device) to the iMac 27"?

I am in the same exact situation, and would appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks!

Sorry, no the MM is simply too old. Please read Apple's FAQ on Target Display Mode and you will see:

If you format in Guid for Intel Macs, Apple partition for PPC Macs for Boot drives, then why do my PPC Hard drives Boot in my 2007 Mac Pro, what gives?

I recently purchased a 2007 Mac Pro for a song, swapped the CPU's for octo chipsets and proceeded to wait for new Hdd's in the mail. I was told the Hard drives in my old G5 would not be bootable unless they're in Guid format. Disc Utility confirmed to use the specific maps as well and yet all of my 2006 PPC Power Mac G5 Hard drives boot in my MP without a hitch, although a few none universal apps do not work. So what am I missing, does it really matter which Apple partion map to choose from or is this a fluke?...

all of my 2006 PPC Power Mac G5 Hard drives boot in my MP without a hitch
Yes, and what version of Mac OS are they booting?
>> They will boot the OS that is on them, but not a later one.

Photoshop for Apple Mac

Im wanting to get Photoshop so I can play around with photos.
Im new to my Mac desktop - how do I go about this. Is it similar to Office 365 where you just download and pay subscription, or where do I get it?
I seen Photoshop Elements 12 on the Apple Store - but this is a DVD? Is this what I need? I was given the impression that I dont need a DVD drive to purchase programs. Or can someone fill my 'not very IT savvy' head with some information.
Thanks.

Forget Photoshop.
A great Photoshop replacement?
A lot cheaper than any version of Photoshop and no monthly subscription?

Simple AVCHD conversion for PPC Mac

Hi,
I've got a Power PC Mac (dual 2.5) with Final Cut Studio (version 5.1.4) and want to do something really easy (at least easy in my mind this should be easy)--I want to purchase an HD camcorder, record a video and then edit that video in Final Cut Studio.
Here is the rub--for some unknown reason, apple does not have the technical ability to allow AVCHD to be edited in the older version of Final Cut and/or on a Power PC based Mac. So, what I need to do is convert the AVCHD to a format that my version of Final Cut can work with--any ideas on how to do this....as Quicktime can't seem to do it (and no, I refuse to spend $3,000 for a new computer and 500 for a software upgrade).
Right now, I'm being forced towards getting a JVC GZ-HD6 (instead of my favored Canon HF10) since it's file format can be converted in Quicktime for use in Final Cut. What gives...is AVCHD video conversion really that hard--if it is...why is AVCHD so popular when JVC puts out something that works--their version can be converted easily. And for that matter, why can't Final Cut simply just work with the JVC file version?
Another question I have...if someone can help me out.... why is there such a compelling drive to have final cut work with specific cameras? Why not just download the video to the hard drive and work from there?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Its not an unknown reason, Victor. Your older version of FCP was coded prior to the establishment of AVCHD as a mainstream consumer format that might reasonably be expected to be need to be supported. Just as my old 4:3 black and white TV can't display a color picture or an HD picture or a full frame 16:9 picture, because it was engineered prior to the establishment of such formats, I'd need to upgrade it (replace it with a newer set) to get support for such newfangled technology ... you need to upgrade your version of FCP if you want support for the latest video formats.
I would beg to differ here.....its not like we are changing from an analog signal to a digital one (fundamental hardware differences), we are talking just a data compression format--just a different way to visualize and store data--it shouldn't take a $500 upgrade to do that--and with the previous analogy, it would require an upgrade of my Macintosh...which it shouldn't require, because in the end, it is just 1's and 0's and how they are stored on a hard drive and manipulated by the CPU and video card. So I'm still having a difficult time understanding why AVCHD can't work on a Power PC based Mac other than someone just doesn't want to code it.
what I need to do is convert the AVCHD to a format that my version of Final Cut can work with--any ideas on how to do this
You can try VoltaicHD from ShedWorx, which can convert your source files to a format (Apple Intermediate Codec) which is supported by your hardware/software
http://www.shedworx.com/?q=volmac-home
Thanks!
What gives...is AVCHD video conversion really that hard
Yes actually it is very complicated. AVCHD is a highly compressed acquisition format and certainly not a post production format as the complexity of the compression algorithm does not lend itself to real time processing (at least not yet with the current state of technological advancement).
But doesn't the latest version of Final Cut (only on an Intel based Mac that is) work with AVCHD? If so, why can't it work on a Power PC?
why is there such a compelling drive to have final cut work with specific cameras?
As with any complex hardware/software setup. Some configurations will be known to be fully compatible and some less so. This is just the real world and the way it works. You can find a full list of directly and fully supported hardware on Apple's Final Cut Studio support site.
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/resources/supportdevices.php
What I meant here is why is Final Cut wedded to specific camcorders rather than being an open system that is wedded to data formats--if it is tied to a data format, vice hardware, upgrades to different data formats should not be difficult--a SOA and open ended architecture should be standard in this day and age.
Again, thanks for all the help and information!

Best file system for PPC Mac, Intel Mac, and Win 7 PC

I really was nut sure which section to post this in, so this seemed like the best place. I have a 3TB external hard drive, that I need to read and write to on a G5 running 10.5.8, A MacBook Pro running 10.8.2, and various windows PC's, what is the best file system to use, or better yet, format, depending on what terminology you use, adn I need to transfer large files(larger than the 4GB limit on FAT). Im willing to try any suggestions. I would prefer not to use extra software, if it is neccessary though, I can on the mac's but not as easily on the Win PC's. I would also prefer an app from apple, I seem to have bad luck with third-party software, but if you know of one that works nicely, again, I'm willing to try any suggestions.

Another alternative is a two-partition external drive. All platforms supported without special software on one drive. You could use mnemonic partition names like HFS and EXF for mounted recognition. Think of this as a functional, single-drive, mirrored RAID set (RAID 1). A file copy to each partition (if needed) provides redundant platform interoperabililty and file backup.

HT4739 Support for PPC Macs

So did Update 10 fix the vulnerability in Java 1.6.0_24? I can't tell from the description.

Bob
You may be right--been having trouble lately with Java on Safari 5.0.6 on PPC and heard there was an issue with Java and Apple is no longer supporting PPC.
Thanks for your interest.

Photoshop for intel macs?

Is there one? Because I haven't been able to find one, and if not does anyone know when they will be getting one?
Thanks

That wasn't the question you asked. You wanted to know when an Intel version was coming out.
As mentioned by others, CS2 runs fine under Rosetta, but it will be slower due to the translation involved. The best thing to do is get plenty of RAM which helps a lot.
Version Que is not compatbile with Rosetta last I looked. I know it caused trouble for many users and I thought I read that Adobe wasn't going to update it until CS3 just like the rest of the suite.

Where can I download a free trial of adobe photoshop for mac os x 10.5?

Hi,
I cant seem to find a free download of adobe photoshop for my mac os x 10.5. Does anyone know where I could find this?

Should you have been misled about the capabilities of the iBook G3
portable PowerPC-based Apple computer you bought online, you may
be able to return it; misrepresented products may be returned if you
bought through such places as eBay, etc.
Also, the name iBook has been re-used, it currently not only applies to
old vintage or obsolete Apple portable PowerPC G3/G4 computers, it
also applies to the newer iBooks ebooks, applications, software, and an
author application where later spec computer or device systems are
needed to utilize their function. But not current portable computers.
For relatively inexpensive Intel-based white polycarbonate Apple portable
computers that could run Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion 10.7, you may find
some resellers of repaired or used stocks, with Core2Duo processors,
and these MacBook entry-level models replaced the PowerBook/iBook G4
builds in 2006, then were discontinued by 2010. Now there are MacBook/Air
MacBook/Pro models, the latest models are rather different in build & OS X.
everymac.com has information about most all Macs, including portables
and their years of manufacture, specification, and other details.
So, I'd check into the returns situation, and get some model of more recent
build; even a repaired one with a limited guarantee could be OK. Depending
on what your expectations are, you may find a deal, or a disappointment in
trying to find a bargain without more information on what their limits are.
Older models no longer made appear in online resale sites, some companies
repair and resell a variety and their inventory is changing all the time. But other
resellers may not really know anything at all about the items they sell on ebay.
A local Mac user group may be helpful with locating something nearby. Or you
could try some online resellers who have a good reputation among Mac users.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

I want to download Firefox for my Mac Powerbook G4, os X, older version please.

Firefox no longer works or opens on my desktop computer

Firefox 3.6 is the last version of Firefox from Mozilla for PPC Mac's. <br />

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4 / 5 / 6, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />
