Powerbook G4 - system 10.5.8 why won't it support Adobe CS5.5?

I know my laptop is a few years old now, but I have upgraded it to system 10.5.8. I just bought Adobe CS5.5 as I needed it for class and the website stated it needed system 10.5.8 (which I have). Now that I've gone to load the programs it's now saying that it 'doesn't support the architecture'?? WHY??? Adobe state it needed 10.5.8 and that's what I have on my laptop. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? The processor is PowerPC G4 (1.1). It recommends 1 gig of ram and I only have 512 but surely it doesn't need a gig to load (I was just going to use one program at once or upgrade the ram later).
I appreciate anyone who can shed some light for me on this!

It appears the key point in Adobe's system requirements is that a Mac must have an Intel multicore processor, running on 10.5.8 and 1GB of RAM, among other requirements. Sorry, Adobe no longer supports the Power PC architecture, even if running OS10.5.8.

    Another solution is the Air Parrot.

  • Why won`t apple support siri on iphone 4 ?

    Why won't apple support siri on iphone 4 ?

    We are just users like you. So we can't answer that question. However, there are hundreds of posts about it, so a search of the forum might be enlightening.
    The iPhone 4 is four generations out of date. Have you noticed that when any company releases a new product or version of a product it has features that previous versions did not? If it didn't then what would be the point of coming out with a new version?

  • Why won't Apple support printing to mobile 3 rd party printers

    Why won't Apple support printing to mobile 3 rd party printers

    It's up to the printer manufacturer to provide an app for printing from. Many do, and any support AirPrint which is what iOS devices use for printing.
    It's not Apple's job to create printer drivers for every third party printer on the market. Printer manufacturers provide drivers with their products.

  • Why doesn't Apple support Adobe Flash Player?

    Why doesn't Apple support Adobe Flash Player?
    I recently traveled out of the country with a large group and we are sharing our photos on Snapfish and I need Adobe Flash Player to download them to my IPAD. Help!

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
      1. Puffin
      2. SkyFire
      3. Photon Flash
      4. Browse2Go
      5. Swifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

    Look to the right under More Like This and you will see that you are beating a dead horse. Instead of doing a search for your issue you will be one of the obligatory 5 or 6 folks who ask this same inane question here every bloody day.
    So there is you answer, just read a few of the links to the scores of other threads here on this very topic and you will have all of the answers. The primary one being that there is no Flash from Adobe for iOS devices. Never has been, and since Adobe gave up trying to make Flash that worked, likely never will be.

  • Why won't Apple support Flash?

    I posted this same question on an Adobe Flash forum and the answer I got was that Apple has to approve Flash for its operating system.
    If this is true, why won't Apple do this? Not supporting it means we, the customers, lose out on a great deal of internet content--which we simply can't view in the Safari mobile browser.
    Best, David

    As a non-techie user, this is seeming like a chicken-and-egg sort of thing: the Apple people point to Adobe. Adobe people point the finger at Apple.
    In either case, I and other users seem to be on the loosing end of things. 
    David.
    Please show us where we might see a copy of the Adobe Flash Player for IOS then, and we will know who's the chicken, and who's the egg.

  • Why won't anyone from Adobe respond to my requests to activate my product?

    I tried to activate my adobe Acrobat XI Pro on december 20th.  Message said we will get back to you in two days> NOT ONE WORD FROM ANYONE SAYING ANYTHING.
    I can't even get into chat with anyone.  UNBELIEVABLY POOR SERVICE!

    I have tried numerous time and many ways to contact these people and no one ever talks to me or responds to my requests.  NOT GOOD SERVICE!  I had submitted everything through the process and got NO RESPONSE whatsoever.
    What is a person to think when they won't respond?
    Why would a person spend the mnoney for service like this?

  • TS1702 Why won't apple support my 1st edition iPad any longer. Apart from greed?

    Why will apple no longer support my iPad 1.
    I am no longer able to read magazines I have subscribed to because the app now needs iOS 6.
    And apple won't let me upgrade my software.
    Rip off I thinks.

    Neither Apple (nor any other company) will support a product forever. The iPad one is, by technology standards, obsolete. It has nothing to do with corporate greed - unless you define greed as making a profit.
    Your iPad still works, apparently. If you wish additional functionality, buy a new one - it is your money and decision.

  • Why won't apple support the charging cable I bought?

    I bought a cheaper charging cable online. It worked just fine before the ios7 upgrade. Now the software won't let the cable charge my phone because I didn't pay apple $30 for it. This is ridiculous and the opposite of why I was an apple fan before. Not to mention how overpriced the apple cable is. Not cool.

    Apple has no obligation to support someone else's product. Why you would expect that is beyond understanding.

  • Why won't you put adobe flash in iPad 2 or 3 :(

    i have 2 links that i can watch movies and series but the iPad 2 won't let me even the iphone 4s my macbook pro does everything it works on these 2 links even the galaxy note and blackberry Playbook but the ipad 2 keep saying that Apple didn't put on ipad and iphone ADOBE FLASH
    and can you EXPLAIN WHY :S

    Use your Galaxy or Playbook if you have Flash working on those. Flash doesn't work on my toaster either, which I knew full well when I bought it - you don't see me coming in here complaining about it.

  • Why won't Apple support "text blocking for teens while driving"?

    I was watching the Today show and they did a spot on teens and texting.  Did you know that 18 teens die PER DAY because of texting?  Fortunately, there are many products out there that can block texting and phone calls (except 911) while the car is moving.  Unfortunately, Apple will not support any of these products.  Why?  Are they not concerned about the safety of our teens?

    This is a user-to-user forum. You're not actually addressing Apple here. Submit your feedback using the Feedback page:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    You might also want to contact your carrier and have them block text messaging on your teenagers' phones if they have demostrated they can't use texting responsibly.
    Best of luck.
