Run Illustrator 9.0.1 in Leopard?

The fact that I couldn't download the Leopard compatibility FAQ probably means I'm already in over my head. None the less, is there any way to get around this "... doesn't support the Classic environment..." and still install Illustrator 9.0.1 in OS 10.5.2?

This is an excellent resource. I'm getting Adobe Acrobat v. 6 sometime next week and will let you know if it in fact can be used with 10.5.2. As for my Illustrator problem, I bought 9.0 on ebay for $187 and can upgrade to the latest for $199 which still brings me in $200 less than buying it new without an upgrade. I've been trying to patch together as CS3-like package, but I'm not a power user so I was trying to get some of the basics, without the latest version costs. I knew it was a gamble, I also heard that Adobe Acrobat 7 and 8 run heavy and insinuate themselves in your start up menus, etc., which is another reason I wanted to go with an earlier version of Acrobat.

    iCloud only works with 10.7 Lion according to what I've heard, to get 10.7 you have to upgrade to 10.6.8 then download 10.7 from the MacAppStore. Then only to a 64 bit Intel Mac, no Core Duo's. Also you need 2GB of RAM, but many say you really need 4GB.
    CS2 will NOT work on 10.7 for sure, it might not run on 10.5/10.6 neither.
    CS2 is rather dated, you'll have to check with Adobe exactly what you can do first, IMMO don't bother.
    You won't achieve your goal, so it's best to stay right where you are and run that machine until it drops less you break something.
    Next machine you buy, it will be 10.7 and you'll have to buy a new CS5/6 whatever etc.
    Also new printers/scanners etc.
    Something to plan for, I'd wait for all your software/drivers to be Lion ready first, then wait for the bugs to get out before purchasing a new Mac.

  • Is there a way to run Illustrator CS6 under a Windows XP standard user account?

    I spoke with Adobe Support over the phone and the only answer I could get was Illustrator must be run under an admin account.
    For those who may be interested in helping figure this one out:
    This is installed on an enterprise network, therefor handing out admin privledges is not the preferred solution. I have a privledge manager that allows directories and the files and folders within to run with administrative privleges so I was thinking with C:\Program Files\Adobe\, C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\, and C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Application Data\Adobe\ all allowed to run elevated that might work. Unfortunatly it did not.
    After further examination I noticed that when I try and run Illustrator as the user, Illustrator.exe will start under that users username, but only for a few seconds and then terminates with no error or event in the Event Log. However if I do a runas and use elevated credentials, Illustrator.exe runs as SYSTEM and opens perfectly fine.
    Anybody ever run into this or have any suggestions?
    Thanks ahead of time.

    Please provide full control permissions on the following folders.
    C:\Program Files\Adobe*
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe*

  • I need to run Illustrator in Rosetta Mode and the option isn't in Get Info

    Hello everyone,
    I need help. I need to run Illustrator in Rosetta Mode and the option isn't in Get Info.
    I'm using CS3 on a Mac Book Pro 2.16GHz with 2gigs of RAM. When I get info on the Illustrator App, there isn't a rosetta option.
    To be clear, I'm right-clicking on the icon in the dock, choosing 'show in finder', clicking on the Illustrator icon in there and there's no option.
    NOW, my copy of Photoshop HAS the option! It's in the general tab just over the Lock option.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks!

  • Running Illustrator CS3 on Portable Hard Drive

    I would like to run Illustrator CS3 (Windows) on a portable hard drive that can connect to different machines (so that I can work from home, go to friend's computer, etc). I've been able to do this with InDesign CS2 but it gives me an error message when I try it with Illustrator.
    How can I get all of Illustrator to install on my portable hard drive?

    Real-world example of what I mean by Adobe continually PUNISHING its most loyal repeat customers with its INFURIATING installation/registration/activation NONSENSE:
    1. Last weekend, on this machine, I started seeing errors about AdobeFntLst. The errors instructed me to run chkDsk. I finished my work and shut down the machine.
    2. At the next restart, Windows automatically launched chkDsk. I let it run its course. It automatically restarted the machine.
    3. Blue screen. Could not get the computer to run, no matter what.
    4. Formatted the C drive. Reinstalled Windows. Installed all Windows updates. Now have a clean and crisp running fresh install of Windows XP Professional.
    5. Deep breath. Ready to install the hideous CS3 Master Collection.
    This is a
    very time-consuming install, so I have put it off until today (Saturday morning).
    Insert the first DVD. Installer launches. Click install. Agree the license. Get the serial number screen.
    Can't type the serial number. Think my keyboard is broken. But it works fine in other apps.
    No explanation of this stupid behavior whatsoever is offered by the stupid installer, but I know what's going on: The stupid installer is looking for a copy of a CS app, because the Master Collection was bought as an upgrade from CS2 Premium--which was bought as an upgrade from CS Premium.
    So I won't be able to install CS2 Premium either. I'll have to install CS Premium. Then CS2 Premium. Then the stupid CS3 Master Collection installer will let me type a serial number.
    Or, I could (assumedly) install the CS3 Master Collection as a demo, hoping I can activate it after. But that disallows installation of some of the content on the disks. Do I want to do the version shuffle, and risk all the dangers of all the associated installers? Or do I want to install the CS3 Master Collection as a trial, hoping that I can then register and activate it, and then weed through the disks trying to find all the content that was disallowed?
    How much of my money has Adobe acquired since I've been using its apps (dating back to Photoshop 1)?
    Does ANY paying customer deserve this kind of abuse?

    You are genius! I search all over the net and had a long chat with Apple without success. 30 minutes after posting the Abobe Illustrator forum, I have a link that works!! Many thanks.

  • I'm running Adobe 9 pro on snow leopard and when I save or print from word for mac 14 the bottom gets cuts off

    I'm running Adobe 9 pro on snow leopard and when I save or print from word for mac 14 the bottom gets cuts off. Can someone help?

    Ah! You're creating a PDF out of Word through Acrobat. The cutoff is most likely being affected by the printer chosen.
    When you call up the print dialogue in Word, check to see what printer is being used. If it's a typical inkjet printer, Acrobat is using the print margins of that printer as the cutoff area. Since most such printers can't print to the last inch and half or so of the paper, that's where it would be cut off.
    Near the bottom, under the preview of the document, click on the Page Setup button. It doesn't really matter which printer you select here. Under Paper Size, choose Manage Custom Sizes. Under the Non-Printable Area heading, choose the same printer and set the paper size you're using.
    Note that the unprintable margins for that printer will be filled in automatically. That's what's being cut off. Click the + button to create a modified version. The default will be "Untitled". Give it a new name if you want. Then set all of the margins to zero. Click OK. Now you'll have that as a choice under Paper Size. Doesn't matter that the actual printer can't use this setting since you're going to a PDF. Click OK to get back to the main Word print dialogue.
    Now choose Save as Adobe PDF. It should give you an exact duplicate of what's on screen in Word since as far as Acrobat is concerned, your "printer" has no unprintable margins.

  • A few days ago, my HP printer software updated automatically, everything seemed fine (Mac is running Maverick, my laptop is Snow Leopard).  Out of the blue yesterday, my printer stopped printing (neither Mac can connect), I have tried everything.

    A few days ago, my HP printer software updated automatically, everything seemed fine (Mac is running Maverick, my laptop is Snow Leopard).  Out of the blue yesterday, my printer stopped printing (neither Mac can connect), I have tried everything.  Both the suggestion from HP and Apple, it's making me crazy I've spent most of time trying to fix it.

    You tried exactly what ?
    I most of the time would start with the same Apple Printer Support page tech articles
    OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion systems will have the necessary printing software already installed, or will automatically download and install software when the printer is connected or configured. Do not install software that came with the printer as it may be out of date, and do not connect the printer to your Mac yet. Follow the instructions that came with the printer to unpack, install ink or toner, and insert paper.  Finally, use the instructions in this article to connect the printer to your Mac.
    Make sure the printer model is listed in Printer and scanner software, which is a comprehensive list of all printer models that have compatible software for OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion.

  • Unknown error (-108) when i run illustrator CS3

    Hi all
    Every time I run Illustrator CS3, this msg appears:
    "An unknown error has occurred (-108), Adobe Illustrator will now quit"
    then illustrator quits
    i got the same error even after re-installing
    my friend has exact error, so he installed it on different PC and it worked
    NOTE: some people say that this is a low RAM error, but my CPU is 0% and RAM is 1Gb, so it is impossible that this is a memory error
    I have Photoshop CS3, Flash CS3, Dreamweaver CS3, Fireworks CS3, Bridge CS3, Device Central CS3, and some other adobe products, all work properly, i never got this error with them
    Help me please
    Thank you

    Hi Jacob,
    I have the same problem so tried your suggestion, but although Illustrator goes through the whole opening up sequence of loading items, once it's done that nothing else appears, the program just disappears.
    Do you have any idea why this is happening?

  • Will Adobe Illustrator 10 install and run on the Mac OSX Snow Leopard system?

    Hello,
    I am trying to find out if Adobe Illustrator version 10 will install and run  on the Mac Snow Leopard system.  Will it?
    Also,  Will Adobe Photoshop 7 (last photoshop version before Adobe CS) run on the Mac Snow Leopard system?
    I know that many older versions of Adobe software for Mac will not work on OSX because of a change in the CPU designs. 
    Thank you.

    I don't think so. Both of them should not work on MAC Snow Leapord.

  • I cannot upgrade my iMac 2009 to snow leopard (it was deleted by mistake) now is running 10.5.8, the snow leopard dvd is not installing and the computer keeps crashing..If anyone have an answer, PLEASE Help me.

    I have a 2009 iMac 4,1  2GHz intel Core duo it says here I have 1GB of memory. I had it running on snow leopard 10.6.8 I still have the SN software that i bought to made the upgrade. Had some guest staying at my place and they deleted the running os and a lot of files and stuff..., now is running on leopard 10.5.8 and it's giving me a lot of problems because is soo obsolete, also hte computer is crashing all the time and every time I try ti install the SL dvd, the computer won't read the dvd and I'm keeps booting me off. Is not getting better at all and now when I restart the iMac before I get the grey apple screen, the folder of death icon flashes, (I already lost my Macbookpro due this situation. What can I do to resolve this aggravating and frustrating Issue. Need help now ..Please

    Before we get too far, please clarify this part:
    I have a 2009 iMac 4,1
    A 2009 iMac cannot be an iMac 4,1; they are 9,1 and higher. Did you mean to type "2006?" That would be an iMac 4,1. We need to pin down the model issue before proceeding.
    It could be the drive, not the disk, that is dirty. Try a drive cleaning disk, usually about US$5-15 at home entertainment, electronics stores and office superstores

  • Can I install snow leopard on an external hard drive so I can run quicken 2006, and put snow leopard on my imac harddrive

    Can I install snow leopard on an external hard drive in order to run my quicken 2006, and install lion on the hard drive of my imac?

    You don't need to erase the drive and repartition from scratch. You may be able to add a second partition on the fly. The caveat here is that once you do that you cannot create a Windows partition using Boot Camp. Of course if you have no plans for Boot Camp then it isn't relevant.
    To create a second partition on your existing startup volume:
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
    2. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
    Now, you cannot add a new partition that exceeds the amount of contiguous free space at the end of the drive. Disk Utility will fail to add the partition if it cannot find sufficient contiguous free space. If that's the case then you will need to follow your state outline - backup, boot from clone, erase internal, repartition internal, restore backup to one of the partitions (or both in your case.)
