Snow Leopard and Indesign CS5.5 compatibility

I have just paid for a CS5.5 Indesign upgrade on my Mac OSx 10.6.7 that is running Snow Leopard and it apparently is not supported on this type of Mac.  The processor is a 1.5 GHz Intel Core Solo.  Why is it not working????
PLEASE HELP QUICKLY!!

The System requirements for the InDesign CS5.5 are following. So, it should work. You need to contact Adobe Technical Support for any issues that exists.
Mac OS
Multicore Intel processor
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or v10.6
1GB of RAM (2GB recommended)
2.6GB of available hard-disk space for installation;  additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a  volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash  storage devices)
1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with 16-bit video card
DVD-ROM drive
Adobe Flash Player 10 software required to export SWF files
Broadband Internet connection required for online  services and to validate Subscription Edition (if applicable) on an  ongoing basis*

  • What happened with Snow Leopard and Photoshop CS5?

    I know that photoshop uses a ton of resources and RAM but it was remarkably smooth and efficient with Leopard. Why is Snow Leopard so different? I can't even use it anymore and I can't afford to purchase a new mac. Is there a fix or do I need a ton of more RAM?
    Thanks,
    bob

    I may have found my own solution. I didn't know that CS5 had an update to address a lot of bugs. I'm betting that Snow Leopard is one of them. The version is 12.4.

  • Flash CS5, Snow Leopard and Font Problems

    I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and might have a quick fix for it:
    I have a couple of Flash projects that were originally built in CS3.  Last year I upgraded them to CS5 without trouble.  Recently I have upgraded my Macs to Snow Leopard, and when I open both of these FLA files in CS5 on Snow Leopard, some of the fonts are insanely distorted.
    Any ideas?

    I had the same issue and discovered a quick work around (not great for the long term) that does not require OS downgrade.
    The first time Flash launches:
    1. create a new fla
    2. create a text box with the desired font that produces the issue
    3. type out every character (lower and UPPER case) include all punctuation and numbers
    4. Open any file that uses the font and you should be good to go
    Hope that helps.

  • External hard drive Snow Leopard and Lion compatibility?

    I am going to install Snow Leopard on my Mac (so I can then purchase Lion and install THAT into my Mac) but it only has 975 mb of memory left. So, I've decided that I need to purchase an external hard drive so that I can transfer some videos, songs, etc. to create more space on my Mac. My question is, what external hard drive will be compatible with Snow Leopard and Lion? I was going to purchase a Western Digital external but I've heard many problems of it being incompatible with Lion. What's a reliable and compatible brand that I could purchase? I'm looking for an external hard drive that hold at least 500 gb.

    I think your analysis is kind of harsh, kurt.
    'garbage'? really?
    Sure, some familiar paradigms have changed, and change brings pain - or at least, unfamiliarity - but that doesn't necessarily mean they're bad.
    Of all the changes you mention three things that you consider abominations...
    UI changes more in line with iOS. Sure, and this is bad because...?
    It's clear that Apple see the iOS as the future, and it makes sense to unify the experience - at least where it makes sense. You don't actually mention which elements you consider bad, BTW.
    The scrolling seems to be the one most often cited, but to me it makes way more sense to manipulate the document directly, rather than manipulate a scroll bar that works inversely. I'm not sure what other UI elements you're concerned about.
    As for the Save As... issue, the change to Duplicate makes a lot of sense when you understand the concept of automatic file saving and versioning. There's never a need to 'save as' in order to create a point-in-time backup since you automatically get point-in-time backups just by using the OS. The only reason it makes sense to to force a branch and for that, 'duplicate' makes sense. If it bothers you, just read 'duplicate' as 'save as'.
    The big break here is that versioning requires application support - the developer needs to add it to their app code - and that creates inconsistencies in the short term because not all apps support versioning. That will fix in time as developers release updates to their apps.
    As for bugs, the current release is 10.7.2, so that's two revisions past the original. Any major release (of any applications, not just an OS) is going to have some number of issues and some people avoid any .0 release just for that reason. I think the concensus is that by the time you get to .2 most of the issues have been resolved. Can you point to any bug in 10.7.2 that directly affects you and your use of the OS? or are you basing your statements on outdated material?
    In short, every major OS release, from every OS vendor has some number of changes that confuse and upset users, and some number of short-term pain while application developers and users get up to speed. Lion is no different in that respect, and if you look back in history you'll see the exact same sentiment for Snow Leopard's release, and Leopard's, and Tiger's, and..., and..., and...
    To call it garbage, though? I think not.

  • Snow Leopard CS2 - InDesign crashes on print

    Hello!
    I am hoping some one can send me in the right direction in figuring this out. I have googled this problem until my fingers are sore and have yet to see anyone with this issue. I have gone through the many many documents about not being able to export to pdf and have followed all of those directions hoping that maybe there was some correlation - still nothing.
    So what's happening is we open a standard document create either text or regular box then click file print and get the crash (Problem report from InDesign below)
    we can print repeatedly with only a box on the page. sometimes it will allow us to view the print preset dialogue and some times it will almost allow us to create a new print preset.
    it gets REALLY buggy when you click the text tool - some times as soon as you click the tool it crashes and sometimes when you click the page. The below Problem report from InDesign was from printing with text on the page.
    This is a fresh install and software update to 10.6.5, fresh install of CS2 and I have not added any fonts, this also happened before the OS upgrade. Photoshop and Illustrator seem to work and do not even stutter when printing, This is only happening in InDesign. After trying to read through the badly labeled post on here I saw one almost similar post about a printing error and there was no help offered.
    I have read many times that CS2 should not run with snow leopard and have seen just as many post that CS2 does run with snow leopard. If by chance you can please offer ANY advice or support it would be greatly appreciated! We are a fairly small publishing company and this software is our only option.
    Thank you in advance!!!

    I can work in CS2 Indesign on my iMac running 10.6.5 with no clichés (so far), but like this thread, InDesign crashes and shuts down when attempting to print.
    However, I have no problem making any type of pdf from InDesign, and my PDF's print without any problems. So, for now, I work in InDesign, and when I need to print, I make a PDF of my document and then print it. I know it's a pain, but for now, it's all I can do to keep using CS2.
    I realize the solution is updating to a CS package that will run flawlessly with 10.6. (anyone have a few hundred dollars to give to this worthy cause?).
    But if anyone out there figures out a way to print from Indesign CS 2 on 10.6, please let me know. My actual needs are minimal, so CS2 does all I really need it to do for now . . . if you don't count that I can't print from it. Ha ha . . . not funny.
    This is an update on my progress to resolve my problem (it's now two hours later than the text in this post above). I had a copy of InDesign CS 3 that I never installed. I decided to give it a try so I installed it. It installed with no problems and I updated it using the InDesigns update feature.
    I can now print with no problems using the print dialog box from within InDesign. However, my specific print features from my brother printer dialog box won't function. All said, I rarely use those features so it seems I now have a copy of InDesign (CS 3) on OS 10.6.5 printing adequately, provided I only use the print dialog box from within InDesign CS3, which suites me fine.
    Good luck everyone. 

  • Am using Macbook pro mid 2010 running on OSX 10.9.5. It does not read my old Seagate back up plus ITB ext hard disk which opens and works on snow leopard. The back ups were made on snow leopard and mountain lion. How do I make it work on Mavericks?

    I have been making back ups on a Seagate Back up plus drive on a macbook pro running on Mountain lion. Sadly the mac was stolen and all I had was the seagate back up. I tried opening it on my old iMac running on snow leopard and after several visits to this forum managed to open it. The data was safe and sound. Now I have received a hand me down macbook pro which runs on osx 10.9.5. I'm assuming there is a compatability issue as the drive does not come on at all when I hook it up to the usb port. I checked the seagate drive once again on the imac and its light came on on that system. Then I suspected there may be a problem with this macbook pro usb port. But it seemed to work fine when i hooked my camera cord into it. Is it that I must reinstall mavericks. In which case how do I back up before reformatting or reinstalling. BTW I did the command+ R thingy and repaired my internal Hard disc which was showing errors. What do I do next, your help is most appreciated if you have had a similar problem.

    Your 2010 MBP would be able to handle Yosemite, but I would strongly suggest that you get the current problem sorted out before trying to upgrade to Yosemite. I'd also recommend another backup that isn't created by Time Machine if you are thinking of upgrading. SuperDuper and CarbonCopyCloner can make bootable clones of hard drives. If you clone your existing system to a fresh external drive, you would be able to boot from that drive and recover quickly in the event that your Yosemite upgrade didn't work out. Time Machine backups are not 100% reliable.
    It's possible that, if your internal HD is the one that shipped with your MBP in 2010, it may be failing. If it keeps needing repairs, that is probably a sign that it is approaching the end of its useful life.
    Have you run Disk Utility's Repair tool on the external drive as well?
    I mentioned the hub because some people have reported here that attaching their USB 3 drives through a USB 2 hub solved some disconnection problems. A good-quality powered USB 2 hub won't cost much.
    My most recent brush with random disconnections involved a nice new OWC drive enclosure. I used the cable that came with the drive, but the drive kept disconnecting. Using a different cable solved the problem. You wouldn't expect that what appeared to be a high quality cable would be a problem straight out of the box, but it was.

  • Continuing font encoding and tag issues with snow leopard and CS4oI

    I am looking for help with a font handling issue with snow leopard and cs4 Indesign. Despite numerous calls and hours on the phone neither Apple nor Adobe has been helpful. I have had this issue open with Adobe since oct 5 but they remain totally unresponsive to date. I need to be able to use Type 1 fonts and do the following , export a pdf from Indesign with the following attributes: 1) xml tags for stories and objects. 2) have the fonts encoded as ansi and embedded.
    Some additional information  - exporting to ps is not an option as it destroys the xml tags. and doesn't guarantee that the fonts won't become CID or some other odd encoding.
    As it stands now,
    Leopard (10.5.8) and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
    Leopard (10.5.8) and CS4 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
    Snow leopard and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts and xml tags
    Snow leopard and CS4 creates custom subsetted fonts and some xml tags.
    If any one has any advice on how to force specific font encodings from CS4 pdf exports so that i can preserve the tags and get the correct fonts I would be grateful.

    The font encoding is not a function of the OS version, but rather of how a font is internally encoded and the content you are representing with the font.
    If you are seeing a difference between MacOS 10.5 and 10.6 with the same Adobe software, it probably has something to do with use of a system font that is somehow different from one version of the OS to another. InDesign does not use any of the OS' font handling software.
    Assuming that the fonts are embedded, subset or not, what is your issue with whether a font is ANSI-encoded, custom-encoded, or CID-encoded? It should make no difference for purposes of workflow beyond InDesign for software that adheres to the PDF specification (including all versions of PDF from 1.3 and up to 1.7 plus ISO 32000-1 PDF and all versions of PDF/X and PDF/A).
    Neither InDesign or any other Adobe application provides user choices for the encoding since it shouldn't make a difference. The encodings chosen by Adobe's core technology components are for a combination of optimization and to support proper text search, copy, etc.

  • Snow Leopard and idsdk5 / CS3

    Hi,
    Any other developers trying to develop using idsdk5 for CS3 using Snow Leopard and XCode 3.2.1 ? Adobe says it is an unsupported configuration.
    I don't like to downgrade, and am wondering if there are others with the same issue and possible solutions?
    Thanks,
    Remco

    >> SLow Leopard (the old one)
    LOL!
    Thanks for the other tips - most are news to me.
    Let's comparing some more notes!
    Here's a few things I believe (I won't say 'I know' - I have no hard proof, and I don't have a budget to investigate getting hard proof )
    I had extremely frustrating debugging issues with Xcode 3.1 - most of the time breaking into assembly code instead of showing the source code. No clear pattern: same breakpoint hit the first time shows the source code, second time assembly code. Fiddling with 'back arrows' sometimes got the source code to show up. It got so bad that I often had to revert to command-line debugging using gdb. Also a lot of 'mumble mode' - things just ................ coming to a pizza-colored cursor for no ................ apparent reason.
    As a result, I've gotten into the habit of doing my coding and debugging on Windows XP with Visual Studio - once you get rid of the C-compiler RSP files and put the include paths into your project file instead, it works rather nicely, and to me it feels much faster than Xcode, even in a virtual machine.
    I still do a lot of coding and debugging with InDesign CS on Windows/VS2003 - turnaround times (launch/debug/exit/...) are so much faster.
    With Xcode 3.2.x on Snow Leopard things seem to work much better - so I might start to gravitate back to Mac-based debugging; time will tell.
    CodeWarrior is over for me - I only use it to generate release versions (I still have some PowerPC macs around 'just in case' I need to debug something with CodeWarrior, but it's not been necessary).
    As to Windows debugging: I use both Parallels and VMware, and my gut feeling is that Parallels seems to work quite a bit faster. Totally subjective, and probably unfair (the virtual machines have different histories, etc...) - but currently I find myself a lot in Parallels, with a virtual machine stored on an external USB drive connected to my laptop - I have heaps of virtual machines around, too many to store on the internal HD. Even with the slow USB bus 'underneath' it all, it works well.
    With VMware I get a lot of mumble mode - machine non-responsive for minutes at a time, even with the virtual machine on the internal HD. Parallels has not done that to me (yet).
    Another thing (might be fixed in Snow Leopard) - but have you ever had it happen that your InDy CS3 and CS4 plug-ins suddenly get a folder icon instead of a plug-in icon? Typically, all plugins will exhibit that behavior when it happens.
    It's something with the package/bundle stuff, and the Finder getting confused. This is my unconfirmed theory: the Finder accepts a whole host of bundle formats, and the bundle structure used by the Adobe sample projects is 'iffy' - the Finder supports it, but occasionally, the Finder gets confused, and shows these plug-ins as folders (and that then further leads to customer support requests).
    Now, if you go into the plugin package, it looks different from most other packages I've seen.
    Here's how I fixed it: I added another build phase to the target - a 'Run Script' called 'Restructure Bundle'. I've put in the following shell script (using /bin/sh):
    rm -rf $TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.InDesignPlugin/Contents
    mkdir $TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.InDesignPlugin/Contents
    echo InD3InDn > $TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.InDesignPlugin/Contents/PkgInfo
    mv $TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.InDesignPlugin/Resources/Info.plist $TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.InDesignPlugin/Contents
    mv $TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.InDesignPlugin/Versions $TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.InDesignPlugin/Contents
    mv $TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.InDesignPlugin/Resources $TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.InDesignPlugin/Contents
    mv $TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.InDesignPlugin/$PRODUCT_NAME $TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.InDesignPlugin/Contents
    That 'restructures' the plug-in bundle and makes the problem go away - AFAIK the Finder has never gotten confused with one of my home-grown bundled plug-ins.
    The whole point might be moot, though - for all I know the original problem of the Finder getting confused might be long fixed...

  • Snow Leopard and Photoshop CS3

    My wife is currently running Leopard 10.5.8 along with Photoshop CS3. Are there any compatibility issues that anybody is aware of if she upgrades to Snow Leopard (and higher)? She runs a number of add-on Photoshop-compatible actions as well and wants to be sure these won't be impaired if she elects to move to the newer OS. Thanks!

    She may have a few problems with the various aspects of CS3 according to this very useful compatibility guide.

    It seems CS4 is the better path to take using Snow Leopard.

  • Can i sync my ipad mini to my imac snow leopard and then to my iphone4

    can i sync my ipad mini to my imac snow leopard and then to my iphone4

    iCloud requires OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher.  You will need to upgrade to either Lion or Mountain Lion in order to set up iCloud on your Mac.  First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
    Lion system requirements are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Mountain Lion system requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
    If you can run Mountain Lion, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store.  If you can only run Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a download code to download it from the Mac App Store.
    After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
    Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.

  • I have downloaded snow leopard and it is not recognising that i have, i need to in order to update to mavericks, I have downloaded snow leopard and it is not recognising that i have, i need to in order to update to mavericks

    Basically, I bought snow leopard and just installed it but its not recognising the fact that I've installed it. I've tried twice and it has restarted both times, but it hasn't done anything, and I need that to update to Mavericks, which I really need to do. Please help!

    Then you've installed Snow Leopard.
    It needs to be 10.6.8 so download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Then try installing Mavericks.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    A. Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

  • Can I install both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 on the same version of VMWare 5?

    Even though I am running Apple OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 on my new 2013 iMac, I have just installed VMWare's "Fusion 5" so I can have Windows 7 installed on the "Fusion 5, for limited usage needs.
    I also would like to have a running version of Snow Leopard available to run my large collection of original Lynda.com training DVD's and CD's ... which unfortunately, now only allow the Lynda.com GUI player to operate in (and up to) Snow Leopard (at least this is what the Tech folks at Lynda.com have told me).
    Since Lynda.com is no longer producing any or their training programs on CD or DVD any longer, and because they have stopped supporting their training programs to run on Lion and above, I will have to have a version of Snow Leopard installed to run these training programs, and still be able to run them using the Lynda.com GUI player.
    So here's my dilemma:
    1.  Can I install both a version of Snow Leopard OS on my "VMWare "Fusion 5" .... along with a running version of Windows 7 on       the same "Fusion 5"?
    2.  Do I install only the Windows 7 on the VMWare, and find some other "device" to run a version of Snow Leopard off of?
    3.  Do I consider using "BootCamp", in conjunction with "Fusion 5", to get access to both Snow Leopard and Windows 7?
    Has anyone had any experience installing BOTH a previous (older) version of Apple OSX  ... AND ... a Windows OS version on one installed version of VMWare "Fusion"?
    OR
    Any suggestions on how to set up having access to both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 .... while keeping OS Mountain Lion as my main OS?

    Thanks ... the "You have to purchase Snow Leopard Server" I knew about, and a few days ago I just ordered a copy from the Apple Store:
    Snow Leopard Server - Ordered at: 1-800-692-7753 ... OR ... 1-866-254-8313
    I asked for Apple Snow Leopard Server (Model MC588Z/A (SLSVR)
    "Unlimited Client License"
    It was around $25.50 (USD) with sales tax and shipping (NYS).
    One thing though ... when you mention:  "you should make two virtual machines".
    Not being too familiar with "Fusion 5" yet, Is setting up "two machine" all done under one installed version of "Fusion 5"?
    Would you have "links" to any "Fusion 5" installation instructions/info for setting up the
    "two machines" (one for Snow Leopard and one for Windows 7)?
