Updating my emac to use creative suite 2

Hello,
New to apple discussions and not too techy on the hardware side !
I'm looking to get the Adobe Creative Suite2 on my current emac. I know i'm going to need to upgrade certain elements to ensure it can handle it. Memory is one thing (I have 256 SDRAM) with a slot spare. the Creative suite needs 384 to run any single application, and 512 to 1 gb to run the suite simultaneously.
My question is really to any CS2 users from their experience - other than getting a new mac - is there anything else I need to to update to run CS2 smoothly or should the introduction of more memory do the trick ?
Many thanks !

Hey theair.
It's all about the memory. As much as you can possibly afford. For a tidy running machine, anything above 512 is necessary. I've recently swished mine up from 512 to 1G rather cheaply thanks to Crucial Memory: http://www.crucial.com/uk/
The computers at my uni are running Creative Suite with 512 and no problems. Hope this helps.
Lou.

  • I want to by a new Mac Book Pro, but I still use Creative Suite CS6. Is it still working?

    I want to by a new Mac Book pro with Yosemite, but I still use Creative Suite CS6 and I don´t want to update it to CC. So it is very important for me to know if CS6 is working on Yoemite. I rode that After Effects and Photoshop are fine, but what is with Indesign CS6, Illutrator CS6 and all the other Programms. Please let me know if it is possible?
    Thanks

    CS6 apps are supported on Yosemite, but if you buy a retina display model you will not be happy with some of the apps such as InDesign which are not optimized for that display.

  • How do I add fonts to Premiere, if i'm using creative suite?

    I'm wondering how I can add fonts to my apps that I've donwloaded using Creative Suite package that Adobe just came out with. Is there a way to do it all at once so all the programs use the same font folder, or do I have to add it to each app. Either way I can't figure out how to add it so please help me figure this out.
    Thanks

  • Help updating Photoshop 5.1 into Creative Suite Photoshop CS6

    Hi,
    I recently purchased the Adobe Creative Suite (CS6.0). About a year and a half ago I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 and I have been using it heavily and customizing it. I have installed the Creative Suite and Photoshop CS6 shows up as a completely different application than Photoshop CS5.1. How do I transfer all my custom brushes, swatches and other settings to Adobe CS6? Is there a way to just update the 5.1 into 6.0 while retaining all my settings?
    Thanks,

  • Security update 2012-001 kills adobe creative suite

    I just did an update:
    Remote Desktop Client Update 3.5.2
    Security Update 2012-001 1.0
    And now none of the applications in my Adobe Creative Suite work. I cannot use the "Open" command or the "Savre" command. Tha applications just quit. I make my living with these programs and am not pleased with Apple. Apple knows Mac people use these programs - that's why we'reMac people!!
    I created a new prefs file - no luck.
    I reinstalled Photoshop - no luck.
    I tried a new user profile - no luck.
    Anybody got any suggestions or ideas?
    Thanks

    Same here.  I use Photoshop CS Vers 8. Did security update and *poof*. Constantly crashes when I try to save and save as.
    Tried completely deleting Photoshop and all related preferences and folders in the Library.  Even tried booting in safe mode.  NADA, still bonks out.  Looking to see if can uninstall update if that's even possible.
    Glad (I think) I'm not the only one.

  • Want to use Creative suite on PC and Mac

    My son bought the student edition creative suite last year and installed it on his PC, he has now got a Mac laptop for school and wants to use your program on his Mac what is the best way to go about this, do I need to buy him another program?

    Serial numbers for standalone retail products are platform specific. You can run a platform swap or indeed will have to buy a second license if you want to keep using it on both ends.

  • Using Creative Suite on Tablet

    I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, I saw that in the "store" that there are some apps for adobe software. I was wondering if there was a way to install the creative suite to my tablet as I already have the software cd (Creative Suite 6) for my laptop? Many of the apps in the "store" are tutorials, which I don't need, but I'm not sure that if the tab can support the tutorial it can support the suite, or even one product off of it like Illustrator or Photophop. Any suggestions would be great.

    There is no Creative Suite for Android or iOS.

  • Question:  Cannot use Creative Suite 6 Design Standard.

    I loaded this software, and when I attempt to use it, I get an error message "Configuration error", and a "please uninstall and reinstall the product" instruction.  I have done this twice noiw with no change.  I have been on hold on the Adobe support phone number 800-833-6687 for 2 days straight now, each time in excess of 90 minutes.  It might be a simple solution, but not too pleased right now.  Any advice?
